Belford, Middlebrook & Co., of Chicago, are publishing weekly a series of beautiful portfolios, devoted to the AMERICAN NAVY AND CUBA The illustrations are reproductions of photographs, with introduction and descriptive texts, show ing all the vessels of our navy, the MAINE, as she majestically rode the waves before her destruction, and all of her officers. CUBA, THE QUEEN OF THE AN TILLES, is illustrated in all its phases, from tbe captain general’s palace to the hovels of its starving wretches—shown as it is today, not as it will appear after Sampson's fleet has bombarded it, that will come later. We have made exclusive arrangements with the publishers whereby we will fur nish our subscribers with these beautiful portfolios, containing 16 reproductions in each number, at 10 cents for each series. The regular subscription price is 50 cents, and those wishing them, who are not sub scribers to our paper, can secure them at that price. And they are well worth 50 cents. We have samples of these beautifhl works of art and history in our office which we would be glad to show you and tnke your subscription for the entire series of as many parts as you wish.

I 1 A BESSEMER FAILURE. ~ Str Henry** Ship Which W M to Oo Away < j With SeaaiokiMMC. , A quarter of a century ago the late Sir j Henry Bessemer tackled the problem 1 which thousands of bis fellow countrymen < tackle every year in vain—the problem of ! finding a remedy for seasickness. Mr. i Bessemer’s idea was to secure a quiet [ haven of rest in the midst of the vessel at • r pea where tbe voyager might remain and i > defy seasickness with ease and dignity. > His plans first began to take shape in 1869, though they did not arrive at the point of practical experiment until five : years later. He perceived early that tbe . r notion of gaining steadiness by suspension ' * on axes, as in the ship’s lamp or compass, i would not suffice, for, though the compass ' is by means of its suspension on a double ■ axis retained in a horizontal plane, it nev- ■ ertbeless rlshs and falls with the pitching 1 of the vessel. Hence, in applying the prin ciple to a saloon, it was necessary to go to tbe middle of tbe ship’s length, where the . pitching is practically nothing, and to the . middle point of her breadth also, where there is litflo or no motion. ' But there were other difficulties to bo . overcome. Freely suspended objects, such as pendulums, begin to oscillate whenever their point of suspension is moved. Tbe transit of tbe passengers to and fro would produce motion, and the action «f tbe • wind on the sides of the vessel woulircauso ’ the same effect Mr. Bessemer believed that he had overcome these difficulties by tbe application of hydraulic power. The hydraulic power was certainly ar ranged with extreme Ingenuity, and the large saloon, weighing 140 tons and sus pended in the midst of tbe vessel, oould be moved with a touch. Ini order to make ’ room for the saloon the engines and boilers J were moved from the usual place which they occupied in' tbe old paddle steamers to points on either side fore and aft of the saloon, and duplicate sets of boilers and engines were provided—“in order to short en” the dreaded channel voyage. The hydraulic suspension woe not the , only ingenious device which was depend ed upon to keep the saloon steady. The great speed of the ship—she was expected to attain very high speed, although in practice the speed never exceeded 13M knots—was trusted to diminish the pitch ing, and she was given a low freeboard, 40 feet long at each end. Tbe effect of this freeboard, so it was believed, would be to cut into the waves, ship part of them on the low deck, and so balance the vessel. The Bessemer inaugurated her first trip to Calais by smashing old Calais pier, tbe 1 hydraulic steering gear failing to act at a critical moment, and, as a matter of fact, tbe hydraulic appliances for steadying her saloon were not tried, the real reason be ing that they were not finished. Subse -1 quent experiments were equally unsatis , factory. Tbe swinging saloon did not be have at sea in tbe same way as tbe steam rooked model which Bessemer bad studied on land. In comparatively calm water, which still might have enough swell to be unpleasant, it would not act at all. Moreover, tbe boat was really too large for Calais harbor. Her fate was sealed by the bankruptcy of the company that owned her, and in 1876 she was sold by ' order of the liquidators. The buyer re moved tbe saloon and its machinery, dis carded the hydraulic steering gear and built up the low freeboard to the level of the rest of the deck. In this commonplace guise the old Bessemer had a career and only differed from the less stuffy channel boats in having four paddle wheels in stead of two.—Philadelphia Record. Sabbath Breakers. At a meeting of the local Womenls Tem perance union at Ottawa the other day a lady gave a shocking example of the in difference to Sabbath observance which is creeping over the modern world. She stat ed that she Bad, to her shame and sorrow, seen two men looking in at the window of a well known tailor’s shop on the Sabbath day, evidently engaged in selecting the materials for their new spring suits. She added that she had consulted a solicitor as to whether there is no law which oould be invoked for the purpose of putting a stop to such profane conduct and that she had been Informed in reply that, though there is at present no law under which tradesmen can be compelled to pull their blinds down on Sundays, It was quite within the power of the legislature to pass such a law. She asked the meeting to join In a petition to the legislature tn fa vor of such an enactment, and the matter was referred to tbeLord's day committee. I believe that I can cap the shocking ex perience of this Canadian lady. I have seen ladles in church on Sunday taking. ' stock of the bonnets of their lady neigb - bore, obviously with the view of deciding on tbe purchases that they contemplated making during the week. Such conduct : occurs in all countries. It seems highly Improbable that there 1s any law in Canada for the purpose of stopping this desecra tion not only of tbe Sabbath, but of the bouse of prayer, and the Canadian legis- * lature would do well to take this evil into consideration at the same time as the oth er.—London Truth. The Oklahoma Craze. i The mania for land was curiously illus , trafed by the rush of settlers and specula [ tors upon tbe opening of new lands in Oklahoma, says Henry J. Fletcher in The . Atlantic. An immense multitude left , homes in a dozen states and flocked thlth t er by rail, in wagons, on horseback and i on foot, camped outtor weeks and months ■ along the borders of the promised land, suffered all kinds of privations and rdeed madly across the line when the gun was l fired, only to find that there were ten com petitors for every quarter section, and the land, when they got it, far inferior to that l which they left behind. Tbe unsuccessful ones eked out a miserable existence as long as they oould in the mushroom towns ' and finally drifted forlornly back to the ; surrounding states. ' I Many western towns deliberately intox icated themselves in imitation of their . neighbors. Prices were forced up by j means of brass band auctions and artificial* [ excitement. Raw villages on the prairies I indulged in rosy dreams of greatness, and gaslights twinkled where the coyotes should have been left undisturbed. Every city and town in the regions chiefly af [ fected by tbe great “boom" contained • families impoverished by the collapse.

Amusing Karie, To;d About • XtanMß I Fire Herse *of Boats*. Stories of the intelligence displayed by horses in fire departments have been told . over end ovpT a,;aln, but there is a horse ' in the Boston fire, department that setons to bo worthy ofdi little attention at this time, as be has about completed the days 1 When he can be used with safety and prob- ’ ably will soon go where he will have noth- I Ing to do bnt kick up his heels and enjoy i himself. This horse is known to the mom- < bers of tho department and, indeed, to 1 many of tbe citizens of Boston as Old Jim, and is now at tho Dartmouth street engine house, where he is an “emer gency” horse. This means that be is used 1 when one of tbe regular animals is sick or 1 away being shod or when the condition of : tbe streets demands an extra horeo. i Tho men tell several amusing stories < about him and the way be acts when an ' alarm is sounded in tbe engine house. As : soon as the “tapper” sounds and the stall doors fly open Old Jim makes a rush for the floor. As soon as he leaves bis stall and gets out on tbe main floor be hesitates < a moment and then rushes to tbe vacant place as though he undWrtood that he was as likely to have to fill one. position as an other. Another little trick he has is that of helping himself at the grain chest when ho thinks no one is around to see him. He will turn nearly around Jn bls stall and with bis lips will shake the hook of the rope back of him from thej ring in which it is fastened. Then he will back out of tbe stall and, going over to the grain closet, will push back tbe wooden button with his lips, pull tho door open and then, raising tbe lid of tbe grain chest, will help himself. If he bears tbe step of one of the men, ho will rush book to his stall and crouch up in one corner as if he knew well enough he had been doing something wrong. ' - One of the most surprising stories told about him to bis actions ata fire in the leather district several years ago. The story is vouched for by Captain Mulligan of engine No. 22 and several of his men, and, while it may seem hard to believe, those who know the horse say that it is thoroughly characteristic of him. Previous to this fire Old Jim bad been quartered at the Fort Hill square engine house, but had been transferred to the Dartmouth street house to take the place of another horse. The fire was one that required the services of the Dartmouth street company, and Old Jim went to it as leader on the three horse team of the engine. When the scene ot the fire was' reached and the men settled to work, tbe horses were detached from tbe engine, and Old Jim was tied to a lamppost, his two mates being connected with him by the harness. When tho fire had been subdued and the men were ready to go back to their house, the driver went over to get his horses, but no horses were visible. No one had seen them go, and immediately everybody began a search for the missing team. And where does tbe reader suppose those horses were found? Old Jim, remembering his former home in Fort Hill square and perhaps wishing to introduce his companions to bis old mates, had in some way unfastened his tie rein and had towed his two mates to tbe htrtise in Fort Hill square, where he was found looking round contentedly and apparently enjoying himself immensely. One of his former drivers said recently that when Old Jim was at Fort Hill »quare he had many a time gone to a fire with tbe bits hanging from his mouth, but he seem ed to know just where he was going and only needed the slightest pressure to make him turn in any direction required. So well did he seem to know just where he was wanted to go that tbe men almost be lieved be could count the alarms. In fact, a boy did call at the Fort Hill square house one day and asked to see the horse that oould count the box when an .alarm was sounded.—Boston Transcript. The “Arbiter of Europe’s Destiny.” The German emperor wishes to pose as the arbiter of Europe’s destiny. He thinks he can array Europe against England more effectually than Napoleon ever did. With a man holding such views, illumined by the wisdom of God’s anointed, as he con ceives, there oould be no durable under standing—to think of a Hohenzollern with a royal pedigree of less than two centuries advancing such pretensions would have shocked the least modest of the present emberor’s ancestors—and, such being the case, it is safer to base all our calculations on his hostility. In this matter the Pripoe of Wales has faithfully reflected English sentiment. Ho is entitled to the credit of having seen through tbe German ruler’s sentiments from a very early period of his reign and to have firmly refused to be any party to tbe condonation of tho Emperor William's offenses not merely against good breeding, but against tbe dignity and majesty of bis own country. When the Prince of Wales is pursued even to his private box in a theater so that he may have to listen to the Imperial explanation that braggadocio at Kiel does not signify a Belshazzar’s warning for England, it is high time for the German ruler to take a lesson in manners as well as in tbe arcana of far eastern politics.— Contemporary Review. The Stage and Society. In view of the fact that Dr. Watson not only sanctioned a dramatization of bls stories, but has written approving of the play, which he has read and oommends to his friends in America, “whom I hold in grateful remembrance,” it is Interesting to quote from a dialogue which three per sons have over bis name on “Amuse ments” In The Woman at Home. Tbe rector is easily identified with Dr. Watson, and in summing np the case for the thea ter he thus concludes: “Don’t you think that, as there will be a theater as long as children act by an in stinct and the grown ups love to see good acting, what good people ought to do is not to ostracize tbe theater, but to purify it? "How can they do that? Why, by en couraging managers to produce pure and noble plays and supporting well living actors till the higher drama be profitable and tbe lower be left, to vicious .people, where it will die through destitution. You can never reform by repressing. The Puritans tried that method, and the result was the grossness of the restoration. You can only reform by replacing. I wish well to every mon and woman who helps to make the stage a blessing and not a curse to society. ’ ’—Bookman. Mark Twain** “Jolly." Tbe servants at the Players’ club, New York, are looking for Mark Twain's ar rival and anew “jolly.” At bls last visit there —fallowing a year’s absence—he said to the servant who admitted him, “See if my overshoes are in the library. ” The man reported they were not. “ Why, I left them there the last time I went out! Who could have been in tbe library since?”— Boston Globe. A VIRTUE OF OLIVE OIL. .... Mhn-ot-war** Men Say That tt Will Fre- Tho glasses were going round when the man who had been in the navy spoke: “Wait a minute, boys. We’ve had several. Let me give you a tip that I learned when X was on the China sta tion. You are pretty good drinkers, you Kentucky boys, and you can Bold your own with anybody, east, west or north, who tries to put you under the table. But unless you carry out my plan don’t you ever stack yourself up against an Englishman, and especially ap army or a naval officer. You could knock him out on whisky, but he doesn’t drink it, except in the shape of smoky Scotch and Irish abominations. But cham pagne, burgundy, claret, ale, sherry, madeira, port, pulque in Mexico, saki in China, palm liquor in Africa, bam boos and shandygaff in India, steer clear of them—that is, unless you have the good luck to meet a certain little, yel low faced, wizened creole from Louisi ana whose recipe is passed around the mess table of United States man-of-war to this day. “It started in the old days when the British officers always had the pleasure of outstaying their American guests or hosts whenever two ships met on for eign stations. Then that little yellow devil came along with his trick, and the Englishman has never since come out better than second in any drinking bout. The secret? Olive oil. One wine glassful before the fun begins, and, if possible, another later on, and you can keep your wit and legs throughout the « dampest evening, t suppose one of two things happens. Eithey the oil coats the Stomach and keeps the alcohol from be ing absorbed by the system, or else it floats on top and keeps the fumes from rising to the brain. But you’ll have to the medicine men about that. All I know is its practical result, and that has enabled us Yankee Doodles to go homo cheerful and clear headed many an evening when our foreign cousins were speechless.”—Louisville Courier- Journal. ‘ AMERICAN TOOLS ABROAD. Parchaaer* Found For Them Nowaday* Throughout the World. ‘ American tools are sold all over the world. The New York representative of an American tool manufacturing estab lishment when asked where American tools were sent ran over the export or ders received that day. They included orders from Hungary, Austria, Ger many, France, England, South Africa and South America. There were alto gether about 20 orders, and from some of the countries named there were two or three orders. The export orders of the previous day included orders from Russia, Australia and New Zealand, and these were not unusual orders, but such as are constantly received. In the shipping room at that moment stood cases marked for Java, for Ecuador and for Australia. Many of these orders are small. In some cases there were orders fora single tool, or for two or three; for some orders of half a dozen or two or three dozen to supply orders or to keep lines filled. These small orders are mostly from Eu ropean countries, with which commu- j nication is nowadays quick and conven ient. European merchants order these things just about as merchants in other cities in this country would. It costs no more to send to London than it does to Chicagp, and it is as easy to send to Berlin as it is to Paterson. The characteristics that commend these American tools to their foreign purchasers are the same that mark American machines and implements generally—lightness, fine finish and perfect adaptability to their several uses. The exports of American tools to all parts of the world are steadily in creasing.—New York Sun. Bad Story Talllna. If Oscar Wilde’s assumption were to be taken seriously, that all fiction is ly ing, it might account for much that afflicts readers, since the lack of morale affects the intellect, and what is done without conscience is apt to be done badly. Os course all fiction is not lying, as all killing is not murder, but it is a sad fact that many writers of novels and short stories seem to have left their consciences and much of. their brains behind when they go forth to work—as if these belongings might safely remain in seclusion, with the dress coat and the white tie, to be brought out only for especial occasions. Artemus Ward onoe remarked that he had a giant mind, but did hot have it with him, and that (or the latter half of it) is apt to be the case with any of us when we are care less. True, even good Homer sometimes nodded, bnt this affords no example for us who are not Homers.
