The recovery from disturbed finan-

the United States than in the other

fact is that we have been able, as a

There is a striking point connected
with this change in the commercial tide

MAKING SAILOR CLOTHES.
Factory at Brooklyn Navy Yard Gets

acquisitions from Pacific.
The clothing factory at the Brooklyn
navy yard has just received large
acquisitions for jumpers, overshirts,
trousers and overcoats, to be delivered
before May 1 at the navy yards at
Mare Island and Bremerton on the Pa
cific coast, says the New Orleans Plea
yune. The local factory is the only
one operated by the navy department
for the navy proper. Another factory
is maintained in Philadelphia for the
marine corps. The navy yard factory
was founded in April. 1879, by r. w.
Thompson, then secretary of the navy
department At present it is under
the superintendent of Paymaster Jew
EFT, the latter of whom is in charge of
the department Of provisions and cloth
ing
The factory employs number OF cut
tiers and Inspectors, who work in build
ing No. 81, where the factory is main
tanned, and about 80 men and women
who work in shops outside of the yard
or in their own homes. The trousers
and overcoats are made almost exclu-
sively by operatives who have shops o.
their own, but the various kinds of
jumpers and overshirts are made by
women. These are usually the wives
and daughters of United States veter-
ans. All of them are amenable to the
State factory law and if they live in a
tenement or apartment house must
have State license. 1t is a common
sight at the Sands street gate every
| morning to see long lines of women
laden with large packages returning
work that has been assigned ( them.
All such work done on the Outside is
rigidly inspected by government Off
GERS, and if properly and neatly made
is passed. If for any reason a gar
ment is rejected the government is en-
powered to charge the cost of the ma
terial against the operative. Women
are paid from 20 to % cents for max
ing jumpers, As cents apiece for over
shirts, 10 cents per collar for tapping
and 21a cents for embroidering a star
on the collar.
When the operative returns a fin
ished garment, another allotment of
material is made to her and she takes
| it home and puts it together This
material is cut and assembled ready to
be sewed together.

FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS.

Mrs. Wilcox had bOundless faith in
the wisdom and general effectiveness of
her husbands advice, and consequently
he had primed her with instructions
for any emergency that might arise
when he was absent. Among other
things, he had repeatedly warned her
in case of fire to spread a rug on the
blaze, and then telephone for the en-
gines.
SO deeply was this advice impressed
on her sub-consciousness that her ac-
tons the DAY of the fire in her home
were purely automatic.
She had bought new hat, and the
room being rather poorly lighted, she
used the gas-jet over her bureau as an
aid to- studying the new millinery
achievement. Suddenly, as she was
lifting the lace creation off her head,
it slipped and fell directly upon the
blazing gas-jet.
The expected happened. The hat was
soon burning fiercely, still on the top
of the gas pipe.
Mrs Wilcox, mindful Of Jacks adj
vice, grabbed valuable Persian rug on
the floor, and spreading it carefully
over the lighted gas-jet and flaming
hat, rushed out to the telephone.
At the doorway she collided with her
maid, Estelle, who, hearing the rapid
movements in the room, was coming to
learn the cause.
Running over to the bureau, the girl
turned out the gas and throwing the
rug on the floor. stamped out the flames,
which had burned a hole through the
valuable tapestry.
"Why, Mrs. Wilcox" she cried, "why
didn't you turn out the gasp
