LAUNCHING A VESSEL.
A Matter Of Mathematics, With 4 Vxs1
Amount of Calculation


Amount Of Calculation.
The launching Of vessel is prima-
r1ly a matter Of mathematics. In q
ship Of immense size it calls for a vast,
amount Of calculation before the first
step Is taken in the actual work.
In the first place, the specific gravity
OF the vessel must be figured out so as
to allow for the various strains ia
which the hull Is subjected on its slant
Ing journey into the water, with its
sudden plunge as the bow drops from
the ways.
An enormous amount Of data must
be collected to fix this center of gray
ity. The weight Of all the material
that has gone into the vessel up to
the time Of the launching, the distri-
button of this weight, the weight of
chains and anchors and other material
placed on board preparatory to the
launch must all be considered.
When the center of gravity is fixed
the successful shipbuilder knows Just
how to build his launching ways and
just where to strengthen them. He
knows then by a little calculation Low
long each part of the vessel will bs
subjected TO certain strains and how
best to prepare for them. He can fig
ure almost to the second how long
the ship will be in sliding into the wa
ter.-Exchange.

new TAILORED SUITS.
Spring Always Demands It's Quota Of
Severe Garments,


With the advent of spring the demand
for tailored and semitailored suits in
creases. From twenty-five to twenty
six inches in length are the suit coats,
but not invariably so, for the bolero
and Elton effects have to be reckoned
with, and they are to be quite an i'm
portant feature this spring.
While the Norfolk suit is growing in
popularity, 1t is not to be confused
with the Norfolk suit Of other days,
for the. skirt portion Of this new suit
has the popular fare so much in de-
mand. and as for pockets, the new suit
fairly bristles with them. In nearly
every case there are at least four, two
above the belt and two below. The
Norfolk is sure to be popular, for there
are few other styles that are as trig
and smart for hard wear as is this
tailored suit.
The coat cut in two portions is not
only charming, but sure to be becom-
ing to most figures. The lower part,
needless to say, is cut with decided
fare, and this is applied to the upper
and in most cases the fitted upper part
at line that varies.

TREASURE ISLAND GAME.
This 10 For Boy Scouts Who Like to

This 10 For Boy Scouts Who Like to
Rove.
The game called treasure island" is
for boy scouts and is played as fol-
lows: A treasure is known to be hid
den upon certain island or bit of
shore marked off, and the man who
hid it leaves a map with clews for
finding it Compass directions, tide
marks, etc.,. This map is hidden some
where near the landing place. The pa
trolls come in turn to look for it, they
have to row from a certain distance
land, find the map and finally discover
the treasure. They should be careful
to leave no foot tracks, etc., near the
treasure because then the patrols that
follow them will easily find it. The
map and treasure are to be hidden
afresh for the next patrol-when they
have been found. The patrol which
returns to the starting place with the
treasure in the shortest time wins.
This can be played on the river, the
patrols having to row across the river

Laces to BE Used.

Nets, first Of all, in the all over laces
will be In great demand for dresses
and accessories for the smartest Of
spring and summer frocks. The nets
of great modish prominence are the
fllets. Those samples already received
from foreign markets are supplement-
ed by those Of domestic manufacture,
which compare very favorably with
the foreign product. For instance, in
those which duplicate the weave Of
Brussels nets the imitation is perfect.
In those where pearled edges are de-
sirable factors even these are accom-
plished.
Combinations of chantilly and fllet
are to be featured. These will be es-
pecially desired in white, ecru and in
black. Black applique laces will be in
vogue.

SILK FRUITS FOR TRIMMING.
Make Them at Home and Cut Down
the Cost

Make Them at Homo and Cut Down
the Cost.
Silk fruit In pale colors, silk fruit in
intense colors or, for that matter, silk
fruit In any color will continue to be
a most popular trimming this spring.
Purchased at shop, the prices are
prohibitive for many girls; but, made
at home, the cost is proportionately
nothing.
Circles Of silk or kid, firmly packed
with cotton and drawn up snug, is the
recipe. Add French knot. drawing
the silk thread all the way through the
fruit so that it hattens it correctly,
and fasten the thread tightly to the
other side, or, in gold or green silk or
some contrasting color, work tiny cir
Gle in chain stitch (before filling with
cotton); then fill and draw up the COW
er. In the center of the circle place a
French knot and tighten firmly to the
opposite side.

Financial Backing came Slow at Fret,
but 10 Now Plentiful.
Reports submitted show that, where
as two or three years ago the scout
work In most of the large cities was re-
tarded because the public did not fully
understand it and consequently with
held financial support, every one of
these cities now Is supporting the
movement handsomely, providing not
only the funds needed for the mainte-
nance Of local headquarters with a
trained executive in charge, but also
the personal service of leading citizens
educators, professional men. juvenile
court Judges and churchmen. Indeed.
the surprising statement was made
that seven cities which have raised
budgets for scout work have not vet
been able to find trained men to ad-
minister It. This lack, It Is expected,

Hartleigh accepted. the offer, and
during the afternoon he and the gam
bier took possession of a table and
were soon absorbed in a game. Pres
emily Colonel Sinclair approached the
table and stood opposite the latter,
looking down upon him with cold
stare. That look the gambler must
have interpreted as an order not only
to play fair, but to see to it that his
victim won back the money he had
lost in the morning. At any rate, he
made very large bets on very small
hands, by which he lost money stead
lily, and did not seem a bit reluctant
at seeing his funds passing into Hart
leigh's possession.
All the while Colonel Sinclair stood
smoking cigar, posing himself first
on one leg, then on the other After
his first look at the gambler he seemed
to be only interested in the game, but
occasionally the gambler would dart
a glance up at his imperturbable coun-
tenance and after doing so would make
another big bet on small hand.
Finally young Hartleigh counted the
pile of bills and coin before him,
showed over small sum and said:

the colonel as if for instruction, then

certain social status passed
out with them. Both these methods Of
transportation fostered something that
no longer exists-the society Of travel.
A number Of persons would start on
that they were fellow travellers made
them at once acquaintances, often
friends and in certain instances lovers.
AS to the steamboat, while the greater
number on one Of them prevented this
automatic sociability, it was unique
institution.
In the front part Of the main saloon
OF Mississippi steamboat was little
boxlfke structure, in which liquors
were served. Passing aft, one would
see numerous tables, some Of which
were occupied by card players with
stacks of chips or coins before them.
At mealtimes these tables were placed
together, forming one long table, and
shortly before meal was announced
male passengers would line them wait
ing to secure seats. In the stern of
the boat was the ladies' cabin. When
dinner was ready the captain went
into this cabin. bowed tremendously
to the ladies', offered his arm to one,
escorted her to Il seat at the table, fol-
lowed by the other ladies and the men
travelling with them. When they were
seated colored man swung huge
brass bell, and the first stroke of the
clapper was Il signal for every man
who had been waiting to plunge into
seat.
One day gentleman in variegated
waistcoat worn by men of that day
and long skirted coat with large
rolling velvet collar stood among the
men waiting for the signal to be seat
ed. A moment before it came he turn
ed and stepped into his stateroom to
leave his hat there. AS he emerged
the bell rang. and man dropped into
his seat. The act was a fragrant
breach of courtesy, for the gentleman
had been waiting some time behind
the chair, and the other must certainly
have been aware of the fact.
Conscious of some one standing be-
hind him, the seat stealer turned and
looked up into a severe countenance
bending over him. But there was
something more severe than the face
a glittering bowie knife, whose blade
was pointed down at small bald spot
on top Of the interloper's head. The
fellow dived under the table and ef-
fected an exit on the other side.
After dinner a young man about
twenty-one years of age approached
the man who had poised the bowie
knife and said:

AFTERNOON DRESSES.

Materials Must Have More Body Than
Formerly.
For afternoon dresses materials with
a little more body than we have used
in few years are selected. OF such
quality are the new fine taffetas, fallles
and corded silks, and wholly adequate
are they to give the bouffant effect
that all are demanding.
With this effect of the skirts come
the tight fitting bodices, with their
narrow shoulders and set-in sleeves.
This bodice effect is trying to the ma
jority Of figures, but there is hardly a
doubt that some variation will result
that will make it more becoming or
that constantly viewing this style on
all sides will in the end win US over
to Its possible charms.

This Is the old Huguenot church Of

nearly two centuries Of persecution,
was established by Napoleon as one Of

which time it has taken pride in pro-

A Few Don'ts.


Don't forget that children are more
seriously affected by impure air than
grown people.
Don't let the nursery be used as
laundry nor larder. Food should ney-
er be kept in It..
Don't forget that lowered vitality
makes children more liable to catch
any infectious disease.
Don't say don't to your little one.
Remember to tell the child what he Is
to do, not what he is not to do.
Don't forget that little children are
easily depressed by gloomy surround
ings, and this lowers their vitality
Don't forget that you sometimes do
harm to your children by doing too
much for them. There are things that
it is far better to teach the children
to do for themselves.
Don't shake or scold a child who
wakes up and cries out in the night.
Often night terrors are purely nerv-
Gus affection and any harshness only
makes matters worse.
Don't think that money Is wasted in
buying pretty paper and bright colored
paint for the decorations of the nur-
sery. Money spent on frightening life
at its opening will: bear good interest
In health and happiness.
Don't think that any room in the
