THE POUR-DAY BOAT. Its Advent May Soon Be Expected. Say Steamship Men/ In her latest run from New York to Queenstown, the Mauritania made the distance between Sandy Hook light house and Daunt's Rock in five ??ays and five minutes, traversing what is known as the long route. 01 about 2,932 knots. The best pre vious record for the eastward voyage made by the same vessel, was beat en by two and one-haif hours. It is within the recollection ot men yet young, that 12 days was considered a remarkable record for the voyage from New York to Queenstown, and a prediction that a steamship would make the trip in approximately five days, would have been considered preposterous. The 500-foot boat was, at the time of its advent considered practically the limit, observes the Rochester Demo crat and Ohronlcle. It reduced the time of the voyage nearly to one-half of that occupied by the earlier steam ships, wfiich were approximately only one-half the size. The intro duction of steel construction was doubtless the most important ad vance In the art of ocean-going vessel construction, and ushered in a new era. The enormous increase In ocean travel also Btimulatet com peti tion, .and the evolution from the old style packet, with its auxiliary sail power, to the great modern flyer, is the production of the fast express steamers. ?The lntroauction of the modern steam turbine has been i potent fac tor 'n the increase in spaed and the advent of the five-day boat. While the economical 'eatures ot the steam turbine have not been fully worked out, and its comparative commercial v.?lue settled, It is in present favor, its efficiency in enabling high speeds, with large vessels, having been ap parently established. In view of the accomplishment by the Mauretanla, marine constructors are now confidently predicting the ad vent of a four day ocean lerry. Ar rangements have already been made for the construction of two turbine- j driven express steamers, each 1,000 feet long, and it is considered not unlikely that within the next three oi four years a New Yorke- can voy age to London, tr; asaot a day'b> bus iness, and return home again within the time occupier1, but a lew years ago in the voyage from Sandy Hook light to Queenstown. Strong Room Perils. Before now people bave been shut 1 in strong rooms and had narrow es capes. Oa one ocor.slon a lock smith was repairing an interior safe in the Btrong room of a New York bank, when the cashier closed the vault door. At it was worked by a time lock U meant that the door would remain closed until the fol lowing morning. Fortunately, the man knew the secrets of the strong hold, and by opening a manhole was able to obtain a sufficient supply of air. He then made a pillow of a bag ot dollar bills and composed himself to sleep until the door was opened next morning. The Quietest City. Berlin Is said to be the most quiet I city in Europe. Railway engines 'are not allowed to blow their whlsr ties within the city limits. There Ib no (oud bawling of hucksters and a man whose wagon gearing Is loose and rattling is subject to a fine. The courts have large discretion as to fines for noise making. Strangest of all, piano playing is regulated in Berlin. Before a certain hour in the day and after a certain hour in the night the piano must be silent in that musical city. Even during the playing hours a fine Is imposed for mere pounding on the piauo. London Tit-Bits. Meals and Brains. We give too much thought to our meals, for Instance; they need con triving, and it is pleasant to have them set temptingly upon a table on which fresh flowers are arranged and to eat them in a room wherein there is not a speck of dust; but it is not right that our bodies should be fed at the expense of oui souls, or that the dust should be taken from every ledge iu our house and left to gather thickly in our brains. ?Reader. A Rnzorless Race. The only known race of hairy human beings reside on the Islam! of Yezzo, adjoining Japan. They ar? about 100,000 In number and ar< known to the Japanese as the Mosi nos or 'all hairy people." They have the entire body covered with a pro fuse and remarkable growth of hair the only exception being that the faces of the women are bare, bul usually stained with a kind of juice so as to resemble the beards of the males.?Brooklyn Eagle. Why Moths Fly to Flames. Moths fly ?gainst the candle flame because their eyes can bear only a small amount of light.

Where It is Necessary to Cany on a War of Extermination. Once a year there is a locust hunt Ir. the rice-growing districts of the l Philippines. It is not all pure sport, though the Filipino makes a frolic of It, for unless an organized war of extermination was regularly car ried on against them, the little pest3 would not only eat the rloe Heids bare in a few days, but devour every green thing down to the water's edge. As the time draws hear for the appearance of the locusts watch ers are stationed in the fields, and as soon as the larva is discovered word is carried to the presidente of the village, who immediately issues a proclamation calling on every man, woman and child in the district to assemble in the public square next morning, prepared to wage war on the common foe. The rolling of a drum soon after sun-up is the signal for the whole population to gather at the rendez vous. After a solemn mass and pray er by the village priest, wh^ Leads the parade dressed in his unofficial costume of red and white calico shirt and loose flapping trousers, the people fall in line and the little army starts for the fields. It Is oft?n 500 strong and is led by the local band playing spirited music, but wearing old shirts and knee trousers like the rest. A few heads here and there bob along bound round with cotton handkerchiefs, but most of them are bare, and nobody wears any shoes. Then everybody, including the musicians, fall to work on the 3$oung locusts with 1. bags and switches, threshing awAjfor dear life, sweep ing the tiny p^ts Into bags, Joking, laughing and singing snatches of popular airs at the tops of their voices. The babies tumble about in the mud and the-young folks pair off among the green stalks, and the burning sun beats pitilessly down upcn the wet fields, untill a thick, white steam rises; but still the steady swish of the wnlps ?oes^on. When the bags are erammeu full with r. squirming, wriggling mass, they are tightly tied and the home ward march is begun. Everybody Including the prleBt and the presi dente, is plastered from head to foot with mud, and even the musical in struments are splashed, but every body is happy, for the rice fields are saved. The locusts are dried, re duced to a fine flour and baked in crisp, brown cakes by the maccabeea, who consider them a great dainty. They taste like oaten cakes sweet ened, and have ? pleasant flavor, and the traveler in remote parts of the islands often partakes of John the Baptist's dinner of "locusts and wild honey" without being aware of the fact She Acquiesced. The wife of one of the directors of the line was a passenger. She v. as an imperious woman, accus tomed to having her own way, and when the ship began to roll she Bent forthwith for the captain. A stew ard came Instead. She scorned the steward and demanded the captain's presence Immediately. The purser was the next sacrifice, and after he, the third officer and the first officer had .all retired discomfited, with a flea In the ear, as the saying Is, the captain came. By this time the roll ing had increased and the ladys voice was beginning to sound far away. "I wish you to stop this rolling at once," Bhe safd to the captain. "Madam," said the captain, "a ship as you know, Is feminfne and If she wants to roll I fear that I can no more stop her than I could help coming here when you wished to see me." k was a naive bit of flattery di rected at her weakest polst and de spite the green tinge of her com plexion that foretold an immediate attack of mal de mer, the woman smiled. "Very well, sir," she faintly mur mured, closing her eyes, "Let her roll." A Story from Maine. Last Monday morning when Joe Dolley'B hired man went to the barn, he was surprised to hear the sound at music in the cow stable. He" listened and plain and clear came the notes of "Old Zip Coon." Think ing some drunken man was there, he opened the door and went in, but saw no one. Somewhat frightened. h% looked around and found that the music was coming fuom the old cow'r mouth. That was too much, and he bolted for the house, tell ing Mrs. Dolley to come to the barn, as the old cow was bewitched. In vestigation showel that the little boy had dropped his mouth organ In the stable the day before and the cow had tried to swallow it, but It had stuck in her throat and when she breathed she played "Old Zip Coon." ?Kennebec Journal. Passed Up. An Erie woman made a batch of doughnuts the other day from a new fangled recipe, 'supposed to produce delicious, dainty dreams of para dise. But instead of the delicious puffs promised by the cook book, a good-slsed batch of sinkers, was the result of the experiment. The wom an had forced herself to believe that the doughnuts were not wholly bad and was considerably disappointed, when, at meal time, the family pass ed them up. She had quite t lot on hand, and could well afford to be liberal with u-em, so she handed the dog a couple. He, also, passed them up.?Kansas City Journal. Hexaniethylenetelraniine.

Judge W. B. Simmons of Fincas tle, Va., told the reporter that L. & M. Paint was usuea on his residence in 1882, and held its color well for 21 years; he furthermore said that S years ago he was induced to use anothar paint and is sorry he did, because the other paint didn't make good. The Judge will now always use L. & M. because he knows if any de fect exists in L. & M. Paint, the house will be repainted for nothing. The L. &. M. Ziac hardens the L. & M. White Lead and makes L. & M. Paint wear like iron for 10 to 15 years. Actual cost of L. & M. about $1.20 per gallon. Donations of L. &. M. made to churches. Sold by J. G. Wannamaker Mfg. Co.
