draw a lesson from this Improvement,
and put the money saved thereby into
useful features of construction and
safety, as well as into the comfort of
crew and emigrants. The environ
ment of passengers aboard these ves-

found, within a small environment, a
more offensive contrast between the

exists in these liners between the up

says UNCLE CAV

A good many of us would be fonder
of Truth If her self-appointed sponsors
didn't insist upon trotting her out in
curl papers. Many a woman who is
unlovely and unlovable in wrapper
is more than attractive in a morning
gown, and Truth loses none, of her
charms by appearing in pleasing garb.
This is fact which seems to have
been overlooked by the good and SOL
emn persons who make it their par
ticular business to bring Truth to
speaking terms with those who sit
not in the light of her countenance.
At times think that the real enemies
of the oft flattered but frequently
avoided goddess are not those persons
who will have none of her, but rather
them that dress her like bag and
Insist that all corners take her to their
arms.
1.-THE truth hurts no man. is an
axiom from which have never been
able to extract a drop of comfort.
The reason is that it is lie-it is
never quoted by any one who doesn't
know that the truth wounds quite as
frequently as falsehood and is glad of
it, There is a certain heartless pest
whose name is legion, and who is ut
terly unhappy if he cannot damn his
neighbor with a fact. He is mono
maniac upon the subject of facts, and
his ailment is complicated by mania
for homicide. He is the self-assumed
champion of truth and the prince of
liars. He would have no use for the
abused goddess if she were incapable
of hurting somebody's feelings. He
loves the vince of the flesh when the
dart goes home; his one defense for
his vilIainies is: ITS the truth, amt
1t ?'' And he does more to make truth
unpopular than the devil and all his
works.
Truth in curl papers is bad enough.
Ask any man who has to face fret
full wife in fusty negligee across the
eggs and coffee. But truth with the
face of a harridan is unbearable.

The discussion of Safety at Sea, in
the Light of the Titanic Disaster" in
the July Century, by so able an author
ity as Rear Admiral Charles D. Sigs-
bee, u. S. N, gives in readable and
easily understood form a dispassionate
and authoritative statement of the
risks taken by the Titanic. The perils
of the sea, ever present, and which
mans power may not hope to render
nil. are here discussed by one who has
himself met many perils of the sea
bravely and wisely. And there is food
for wholesome thought for every citi-
zen, whether he travel much by sea,
or not at all, in these words from Rear
Admiral Sigsbees article:
