'■ ? FIRST FLOOR stitute for some of the time-wasting contri vances known by that name—nothing can be more fascinating to women of literary or semi-literary taste* than extra illustrating. The term is one which means a good deiu, ranging from the edition of his “American Poets,” which the Poet Stedman is prepar ing, and which, with its store of elaborate illustrations and embellishments, is valued at several thousand dollars, down to the simplest scrapbook. A friend of mine has made a unique volume out of an account of a European tom - , by including with the type of a series of newspaper articles writ ten by himself hundreds of pictures, the col lected treasures of years. There are en gravings, photographs, wood cuts, etchings; of all sizes, all characters and nil dates. To avoid that, bunchy appearance which the ordinary scrapbook has, all the pictures are let into the blank pages, a space being cut a trifle smaller than each picture and the edge of the hole and of the picture beveled to fit The [tasting is done along this bev eled edge. The result is a volume of rare beauty and, of course, of much interest to the owner and his friends. • Anything may serve as a basis for extra illustrating and as wide a scope is afforded in the matter insei-ted. A sumptuous book may be made out of a magazine article by adding portraits of distinguished persons mentioned in it or pictures of buildings de scribed. One that has Vieen frequently used in this way is G. P. Lathrop’s “Literary Movement in New York,” winch affords ul most unlimited opportunity for illustration i with portraits of authors and literary men, their autographs and pictures of their homes, their libraries and study nooks. Pre pie of artistic tastes and inclinations paint in water colors or trace sketches upon the broad margin through which the “rill of text” meanders. In the ease of Btedman's magnificent edi tion of the “Poets of America” which I have mentioned, each single leaf was given a wider margin. This was it task of enor mous size, and required much skill in the workman, but, it of course permits the use of very large prints ami engraving which could not be used in any other way. Sev eral large quarto volumes, which it u ould Is) impossible to duplicate, und whose intrinsic worth is measured by figures which sug gest a reasonable fortune to ordinary mor tals, may thus be evolved out of a book costing in the begimiing but ii 10.

The transaction of the city business is only housekeeping on a large scale after all, and tho wi mien remind tlie Mayor that he mnsn’t keep) his house' in such a way as to make it harder for them to keep theirs. Two-thirds of a woman's manual labor, aside from her sewing, they say, is spent in keeping her house clean. If the Department of City Works doesn’t attend to its duty in cleaning the streets and removing tlie ashes, dust blows in at every window and all her pains is thrown away. True every word of it, and not altogether a bad idea on tho part of the women to hold the city officials respon sible in part to them. The tendency is ob vious and almost as significant as tlie turn out at the polls in Kansas. death’s shining marks. The death in New York, at such a, brief interval, of two of its wealthiest women, Mrs. Cornelia Stewart and Miss Catherine Wolfe, has naturally provoked much discus sion of their relative habits and ways of life. They were different enough in most rei-l>ects. Mrs. Stewart having shared her husband's struggle up the hill toward wealth, while Miss Wolfe inherited her vast jxissessions. Both suffered equally from the persistent greed of beggars of all'kinds, but lievond that there was not much resem blance. Miss Wolfe was an active, busy woman; Mi's. Stewart shut herself up in her marble dungeon. Miss Wolfe was an intel ligent, patron of art; Mrs. Stewart never bought a picture after her husband’s death. Miss Wolfe yearly spent almost her entire income on practical charitable and reforma tory work, while. Mrs. Stewart lavished her money on the marble memorial of her hus band at Garden City. I doubt whether either of these much-envied women knew much real happiness. Miss Wolf's wealth barivsl the door to married happiness. She had suiters enough, but could never believe in the disinterestedness of any of them, and so shut the disjr to all. ri o dogs.

E. P. H. ON BOARD A STEAMER. How the Vessels Are Run by an Army of Men. Prom the Sew York Star. That “human nature is a curious thing, and there is plenty of it,” is probably better ex emplified on board a great ocean steamship than in any other place in the world. There is to be found a motley assemblage of men, women and children, sometimes numbering upward of 1,500 souls—not [lacked like her rings in a barrel, motionless and compressed, but as bees in a hive, active and swarming about every hour of the flay. Their lives are linked together anil subject to one com mon destiny for the time being, and the knowledge of this fact, as well as the cir cumscribed nature of the immediate sur roundings, promotes sociability and good fellowship, and induces passengers to take an unusual interest in their neighbors. The vast majority of the traveling public accept with complacency the refinement and convenieneie* b > be found on board the ocean steamers of to-day. They tail to grasp the full extent of the advancement which lias taken place within the last half century, and they are apt to overlook the intricacies of the human mechanism which has to be constantly but quietly kept, in motion for the attainment of order, regularity and dis cipline. The difference bet ween a ship of fifty year* ago and one of to-day is vast. The Britan nia, built in is:;;), took *OO tons of cool leav ing Liverpool on her outward voyage. She burned Ft tons per day. white her steam pressure was ii pounds and her speed a little over 8 knots ]K*r hour. Gradually and steadily the ocean steamers increased in all those particulars until the culmination was readied in a vessel built in 18,35. She has averaged a sliced of IS knots in il con secutive voyages lietwren (,>uecn.*(ovni and New York, which is equal to nearly 21 statute miles per hour, or somewhat greater than the average wired of the ordinary train service on any railway in the world. Her l engines indicate 14,(XX1 horse [lower, mid m e supplied with steam from ! double-ended boilers, each with 3 furnaces The total consumption of cihl is 300 tons pw day. and if tiie whole of the Urns were raked together mid formed into one large fin’, there would be 12 tons of coal, or a mass 20 fis t long, 20 fret broad, and ml her more than 4 fret high fiercely burning.

The stewards turn out at 0 a. in., clean saloons, smoking room, etc., and prepare the tables for breakfast; a portion of the stewards attend the bed rooms, but the greater number attend at table or wherever they may lie required. They finnish the day’s work at 11 p. m. and are the hardest worked men on board the ship. The amount of provisions, groceries, etc., on board nt the time of sailing are very large. For a single passage to the westward one of the steamers, with 547 cabin passen gers and a crew of 287 persons, had, when leaving Liverpool Aug. 28 last, the follow ing quantities of provisions: i2,550 pounds fresh beef, 700 pounds corned beef, 5,320 pounds mutton, 850 pounds lamb, 350 ;rounds fresh fish, 600 fowls, 300 chickens, 100 ducks, 50 geese, 80 turkeys, 200 brace grouse, 15 tons potatoes, 30 hampers vegetables, 220 quarts ice cream, 1,000 quarts milk and 11,- 500 eggs. In groceries alone there w’eve over 200 pif fereut articles, including 650 pounds tea, 1.200 pounds coffee, 1,600 islands white sugar, 2,800 pounds moist sugar, 7.50 pounds pul verized sugar, 1,500 pounds cheese, 2.IXK) pounds butter, 3,500 pounds ham and 1,000 pounds bacon.

The Surgeon Said He Was Shamming, but he Walked Into a Well. A New York business man, who served in the Union army through the war and marched with Sherman through Georgia, says of a recently printed story about a Montreal man who is moon blind: “ It is pooh-poohed by some people, but I happened to know that there is such a thing as moon blindness, because I saw cases of it in the army. The doctors may scout it as much uk t hey please.but it is a fact. I was in Company G, Second Massachusetts Infantry, and in Company D was u "ray-haired Irish man whom we called ‘Old Tim,’ and whose last name, 1 think, was Delaney. Some time during tho campaign Tim slept on the ground without shelter and with the moon light falling upon his face, and after that he was unable to see anything when the moon was shining. That sounds like an old wom an's superstition, but 1 know it is true. Tim’s company and ours became so thinned out that they were practically merged into one, anil Tim and i sometimes marched side by side. At night he would take hold of my arm for guidance, because he could not see his way, and that is how I learned that lie was moon blind. ‘'The old man was detailed fori vidette duty one night when I was sergeant of the guard, and 1 went to Dr. W. S. Nichols, tho regimental surgeon, who is now in Cincin nati. to get the old man relieved. I told the doctor that Delaney was not tit for picket duty, liecau-'o ho was moon blind, and askisl to have him excused. Nichols declared that it was all nonsense, that there was no such thing as moon blindness, and curtly ordered lue to go ulsiut my business. Then I went to Col. Cogswell, who is now Congressman from the Seventh Massachusetts district. Ho inquired about moon blindness, and said: ‘Very well. relieve Delaney if you think he isn’t shamming.” “Between Aug. 2 and 27, 1864, we were ramped lietwoen the Chattahoochee and Atlanta. Tlie Confederates had burned a house where our regiment vas posted, and the Colonel’s tent was near the site of the house. Col, Cogswell was promoted to a Generalship while we were there, and Col.
