Oacar, the baautlful, by the wayside is not a

It la not, therefore, a matter of surprise
that the tender-hearted and lamb-liko

The Poet of the Beautiful will return to
England—"the Home of Art"' as he de
light« to term It—with memories in which
mlufle both sadness and pleasure. He will
recall with something like an aesthetic
thrill the merry times he had last summer
at the watering places and lu the mountains,
when he sighed end ogled and spooued
anioug the lovely girls and utterly dlacom
litted the aobar-sided, matter-of-fact fallow«
from the city with his truly artistic dress,
his languid airs and his beautiful postures—
the result of a close and attentive study, no
doubt, of the best models of tbe Greeks or
Japanese. And he will remember, with the
geuulue sorrow of a lover of the beautiful,
the barreuncaa of the American mind In
artistic thought, tbe homeliness of tho
American woman and the wholly unculti

Oscar'« malaria comes most inoppor
tunely, preventing him from rendering the
slightest service to that "dear Mrs. Langtry,

" shakes," his American charmers,and eveu
the Jersey Lily will no longer occupy a
niche lu his daily conversation—for that
might be In bad taste, In view of recent

things "in bad form, you know." Prob
ably tho only thing he will care to remem

soling circumstance that his American so

less chances of adverse criticism than be

Officer of this vessel, iu reference to the
PATENT ELASTIC FELT MATTRESSES and PILLOW'S.
Thia BtAtement U made in accordance with the Instruction« received at the time the said
articles were issued to this ship for trial, with my approval of the same.
"THE FELT MATTRESSES AND PILLOWS
were placed in the berths of the ship on the 20th day of March last, aud have, therefore,
undergone a trial of something more than eight months.
" The present condition of tbe Mattresses and Pillowa shows that they retain their orig
inal elasticity unimpaired. The surface of tbe Felt remains even and smooth, without
having formed Into "Ipmps" or "knots" to the slightest extent. In the tropical allmat«
tbe Felt was found to be a remarkably cool and comfortable substance to lie upon. It
was non-absorbent of moisture, either from the body or damp atmosphere, and remained
sweet and pnre, and free from the slightest objectionable odor under all conditions of at
mosphere.
•THE MATTRESSES AND PILLOWS
were alao found to be free from vermin of all kinds, at all times. In one room where
there was a hair Mattress la use, the Officer occupying it was troubled with bug vermin,
despite all efforts to prevent the annoyance, but the Felt In every instance remained proof
against the pests.
" As regards the flotation qualities of the "Felt," I would make the following report of
the test made by me. A sample or "model" Mattress, one foot long, ten inches wide,, and
five Inches thick, weighing one and one-half pounds In the aggregate, was used. The
ticking at one end was cut away to permit the water to make its way in between the sheets
of the Felt, if possible. A chain shackle, weighing twenty-five pounds, was made fast to
the model, which was then placed in the water. At the end of twenty-four consecutive
hours, the upper side of the model was still above the surface of the water ; upon being
taken from the water aud examined, the model was found to weigh four and one-half
pounds gross weight, the greater part of which weight being caused by tbe water which
the ticking had absorbed. The water had penetrated the "Felt" only about one-eighth
(%) of an inch.
" I would recommend the
PATENT ELASTIC FELT MATTRESSES and PILLOWS
for the use of Officers of the Navy. My opinion is that the Felt is the most cleanly, com
fortable and durable substance for tho purposes to which It Is put, ever tried in the Navv,
and it is a most efficient Life-Preserving material as well. All the officers of the ship
using these Mattresses concur with me in this opinion, and I strongly recommend the u»e
of these Mattresses and Pillows by the Bureau. "
Very respectfully, Your obedient servant,
