A MOSQUITO Proof Steamer

The first ocean going mosquito proof
vessel built for the African trade, the
Jonathan Holt. will shortly commence
its regular service in the Liverpool
West African trade. Fittings are pro.
vided against the intrusion Of mos
quitoes in the quarters of both passen-
gers and crew. All doorways. side
port openings. windows, skylights, ven
tilators and passages have been pro-
vided with mosquito proof close mesh
gauze coverings. which, while allowing
the necessary ventilation. prevent the
admission of the disease bearing mos
quito. Great are has been given to
the convenient placing Of these fittings
to make them readily adjustable. The
vessel is 262 feet long, has a thirty
eight foot beam and is eighteen feet
three inches in depth.

Straight and level eyebrows denote

Brows that meet over the nose usually
prove the love Of authority and mark a

Beautifully arched brows usually
adorn a rather empty forehead and in

to that shown by the long, straight
brow.
When the arch is but slight the fore
head may be strong, full Of individual

When like this, however, there is usu-

For DIV Skins,

When ones skin is oily do not try to
conceal it by excessive use of powder.
1t makes the face pasty and clogs the
pores.
There are various drying lotions that
are excellent for this condition. Wip.
ing off the face with pure alcohol has
a drying effect on the skin. Various
good lotions are sold for this purpose,
but a t~easpoonful Of borax in a basin
Of water is excellent.
If you fear pure borax try this To-
ton: One tablespoonful Of powdered
borax, two tablespoonful of glycerin
and a quart of camphor water. Dip a
soft linen cloth in this and mop the
face several times a day.
Do not make the mistake Of using
spirits Of camphor, which is diluted in
alcohol and much stronger. Camphor
water is made by letting two ounces
of gum camphor stand in water for
twenty-four hours. The lump can be
used repeatedly, as it's size is little de,
creased.

OIL FOR NAVAL SHIPS.
Advantages Of Liquid Fuel Over Coal
Are Numerous.

Advantages Of Liquid Fuel Over Coal
/ Are Numerous.
The fact that the United States navy
has begun to purchase fuel oil by con
tract and is preparing to establish
storage depots from which naval YES
sells may regularly fill their tanks
proves how thoroughly satisfied the
authorities are with the careful tests
which they have been making for
many years past. says the Scientific
American. AS compared with coal,
fuel oil shows the following advan-
tages: 1t possesses a greater evapora-
tive efficiency over coal of about IA
to 8. and. it's use not only gets rid Of
the problem Of dirty and clinkered
fires and the always troublesome dis
posal of the ashes. but renders possible
a great reduction in the fire room
force. 1t avoids the great labor and
Inconvenience attending the coaling Of
ships. the manual labor for which
work is practically eliminated. The oil
can be piped into the double bottom
Of the ship and utilized in coinpart-
ments which ut present serve no useful
purpose. In proportion as a large sup
ply Of oil is carried and the coal supply
reduced the considerable amount of
space now occupied by ceal bunkers is
rendered available for other purposes.
With the use Of fuel oil it becomes
possible to make sudden variations in
the power developed by the boilers and
to change rapidly from cruising to full
power speed. The control Of combus-
ton IS practically absolute, 1t being
possible with oil fuel to admit exactly
the desired proportions Of air for the
best results. Firing with oil fuel in
sures a longer life to the boiler, and
particularly does it reduce repairs on
the tube sheets. for there is no neces-
sity for the opening and shutting of
furnace doors, with the resulting sud
den variations of temperature in the
firebox.
Considered from the standpoint of
the strategist. oil fuel is of inestimable
advantage. for it becomes possible, x
cept when the boilers are being very
hard pushed, to eliminate smoke and
so get rid Of one of the most telltale
evidences of the location of Il feet.

A Toilet Economy.

The particular hostess now uses in
dividual pieces of soap in her guest
room and gives to each new guest a
fresh piece. Where much entertaining
is done this means numerous odds and
ends of fine soap.
One woman has hit upon the plan OF
using this for the children in a wire
soap shaker, such as is found for
dishwashing. The tiniest pieces can
be thus utilized. A basin is filled with
warm water and the shaker agitatcG
until a thick lather is formed.
Another way to use up small pieces
of fine soap is to put them into small

Not Their Kind Of Sermon.

mar, but when three young men shout
the same thing, with the ring of q col.
lege yell, as they leave q church and
pass out into the street, after hearing
one of the sblest ministers 10 the city,
seems to be going q little too far.
But here's the reason. These three
men are good friends, being enlisted
in Uncle Sans service at the Phila.
delphia navy yard, and the three chaps
are old enough to be considered on
the bachelors list, in fact, they are
known as woman haters.

scripture read, the collection taken,
and the Rev. Dr.. Talmage arose and
