FLOATING STEEL COLLEGE.
A novel and attractive educa
tional enterprise will soon be lit
erally launched at Perth Amboy,
N. J., where shipbuilders con
structing a floating school in the
form of a fine sea-going steel
ship for the Nautical Preparatory
School of Rhode Island. The
idea is not to make naval con
structors or navigators, but to
give four years of university edu
cation while the recipients
thereof are making voyages to
differert parts of the world. Be
ginning with 1904, the first year's
itinerary will provide for a cruise
of 12,000 miles, the second 18,000
miles, the third 24,000 miles, and
the fourth and last 27,000 miles.
In fact, the whole world will be
circumnavigated while the stu
dents are daily receiving instruc
tion from competent teachers.
The schoolship is to be known
as the Young America. She
will be a full-rigged ship of 2,600
displacement, and with an auxil
iary engine of from 750 to 800
horsepower. Under ordinary
conditions sail power alone will
be used, and it is estimated that
the ship will be able to sail at the
rate of from ten to twelve knots
an hour.
A school enterprise of this
kind can of course be patronized
only by those who are blessed
with a good share of the world's
wealth but as the education of
young men who were born with
the traditional silver spoon, and
who have been the recipients of
every indulgence is more puzz
ling than that of young men who
are used to making their way
against hard knocks of experi
ence, the proposed schoolship
may do some good. Young men
inclined to sow wild oats pro
fusely can be sent to sea for
four years and emerge from the
floating school well informed as
to the chief points of interest in
the world and at the same time
well prepared for business life.
The scheme is so attractive that
those who are interested in edu
cational enterprises will watch
the progress of the ship and note
the result of each year's cruise.

Mean to Enforce Saboath Laws.
Sherii? Cummings of Lewiston Me.,
has undortaken a partial enforcement
of the old blue laws by compelling the
confectionery shop owners to shut up
on Sunday. These storekeepers axe
charging discrimination and now
threaten to serve papers upon the
sheriff in an action which will force
him to carry his crusade even further
and enforce to the very letter all the
famous old purity statutes. This vtll
mea^ as is their purpose, that busi
ness and labor of all kirds must
cease upon the Sabbath, ana even the
newsboys 'will be driven from the
streets and the electric cars prevu*"
ed from operating.
Rising American Oarsman.
A young man with the poetic name
of Fernand Demoruelle, son of a for
mer police commissioner of New Or
leans, will be the representative of
the Young Men's Gymnastic club of
that city to compete :n the trying out
of the American oarsmen on Harlem
river, New York, on the occasion of
the Harlem regatta. If he succeeds
In passing he ^v* ill be one of the com
petitors for the diamond sculls to be
warded at the Royal Henley regatta
in England. Mr. Demoreulle ha3 made
an anviable reputation at the Cres
cent city as an oarsman.
Specialists in Demand.
One of America's most successful
oculists, Dr. Critchett, a specialist, re
fused $35,000 to go to India to oper
ate on a powerful native prince, and
Dr. Gelezowski of Paris got $25,000
for ridding the second son of the late
shah of Persia of a troublesome eye.
A certain duchess paid $25,000 to a
London specialist for eliminating' a
trouble which seriously threatened
her beauty. Dr. Sheldon of New
York, for curing the daughter of a
Standard oil magnate, received se
curities worth in the open market
$87,000. Who would not like to be a
apecialist at these figures?
A Chinese Innovation.
Some foreign clothing has been tak
en into the palace at Pekin for the
emperor and empress dowager to try
on, so that they may come to some
decision regarding its introduction in
official circles. Should the emperor
and empress dowager sanction the
wearing of foreign costumes by the
court an unprecedented departure will
have been taken. In no way is the
conservatism of the Chinese shown
more strongly than by their adherence
to their national dress, even when
living in Western countries.
Women Want Palace Cars.
Society women in New Orleans have
begun a movement to have the street
railway company put on palace cars
for their convenience and comfort
They say they can not ride, in the
present cars when they are in after
noon or evening dress, as the cars are
dirty and there is no telling who their
seatmate may be. They do not mind
paying extra fares for the use of ex*
dusive cars.
Teetotalism In Texas.
When Gen. Horace Porter was in
Texas he ca_ie _.:cs a man who
went about telling everybody, in great
surprise, that he "had struck a big
thing here." "What's the matter?"
people asked. "Why," he answered,
"I was sent down here by a temper
ance society in Kansas to distribute
these tracts. Well, whenever I hand
ed a man a tract he glanced over it,
hauled out a revolver from one pocket
and a quart bottle of whisky from
the other and then said: 'Look here,
you just hav6 a drink of that, or my
gun'U go off.* Would you believe it!
I haven't had to pay for a drop of
liquor since 1 came here to distribute
teetotal tracts."
Not Looking for Notoriety.
No author of the day has been less
photographed than Joseph Conrad,
who has just published a book of sea
stories. His publishers, when his
book was about to come out, having
failed to persuade him to face the
camera for a new picture, hunted high
and low throughout England and
America for sorr sort of likeness.
Finally, in the files of an old English
Illustrated magazine, someone stum
bled upon a small oval head of him,
and It is fiom that haif-tone, enlarged
and retouched, that all pictures of
Conrad recently published have been
made.
Historic Portrait Spoiled.
Among the best portraits in the
white house previous to the recent
"renovation' was that of Mrs. Benja
min Harrison by Daniel Huntington,
for many years America's foremost
portrait painter. In the "restoration"
this portrait has been rehung to suit
some modem interpretation of the
alleged original plan of the mansion
by George "Washington. In doing this
the paint has been scratched and
scraped and in some important spaces
has been knocked off entirely. Worse
than this, a hole about three inches
long has been punched in the canvas.

DUTIES OF "MY" DOCTOR.
Physicians of Millionaires Must Bt
Up to Date.
Such a" man as Rockefeller or MOP
gan is a life study for a physician,
and the man who can keep in perfect
ordor a human machine of vast im
portance in the community is worthy
of Schwabian compensation. Th
big insurance companies are willing
to employ a physician at $100,000 a
year to keep either of the gentlemen
mentioned alive ten years longer.
"My" doctor in such a case must
know what medicine to prescribe
whenever Morgan or Rockefeller
sneezes, frowns, swears, limps,
groans, growls, thunders, kicks over
the waste basket, smokes too many
cigars, drinks too much water, eats
too heartily of corned beef and cab
bage, talks too much to his Bible
class, charges too smah a commis
iion for promoting a trust or reor
ganizing a railroad, telegraphs' sena
tors to hold up anti-trust legislation,
or commit, any other little indiscre
tion that billionaire flesh is heir to.
He must be familiar with the slight,
est symptom and ready with his dose.

FOG AS A BEAUTIFIER.
New York Society Woman Divulges
Mrs. Langtry's Secret.
Mrs. Langtry attended a reception
in New York last week and roused
much envy among fashionables who
were present because of her beautiful
complexion, which-is really a marvel.
Subsequently a rather faded beauty
exclaimed "How on earth does she do
It? Why, she's 50 if she's a minute."
Another grande dame, who spoke as
though she knew, gave this explana
tion: "It's Jersey, her birthplace. You
know Mrs. Langtry spends six or eight
weeks every season OD her farm there.
She wears a short skirt and thick
bootssometimes no boots at all
goes about in a sunbonnet and lives
like a farm gfrl. The fog of the island

Mrs. Morgan Not FashlonaDie.
Mrs. J. Pierpont Morgan was "the
cynosure of all eyes" at the recent
election of the Colonial Dames at New
York. Contrary to the expectations
of those who did not know her it was
found that she dresses simply and
her cloth gown looked rusty. Her
black hat was small and shapeless
and a thick veil covered her face. The
decision of the women who s_w her
was embraced in she word "frumpy."
Mrs. .Morgan's disposition is exceed
lngly retiring and whenever she ap
pears in public she seems ill at ea3e.
Cure for Smallpox.
A subscriber requests the publics*
Uon of the following: "I am willing
to risk my reputation as a public
man," wrote Edward Hi_.es to the
Liverpool Mercury, "if the worst case
of smallpox cannot be cured in three
days, simply by the use of cream of
tartar. One ounce of cream of tar- i
W dissolved at intervals when cold
is a certain, never-failing remedy. It
has cured thousands, never leaves a
mark, never causes blindness and
avoids tedious lingering."Cantoa

FILARIA 18 A NEW DISEASE.
Responsible for the Death of Mnr.y
American Soldiers.
Capt Charles Kieeffer. a United
States army surgeon, says the Phil
ippines are infested with mosquitoes
more troublesome auri dangerous from
a medical point of view than those
that swarm in the Jersey swamps. A
strange malady known as filaria is
traced directly to them, and is com
mon among the American soldiers
quartered on the islands. Soldiers
contract the disease by drinking
water from stagnant pools in which
the mosquitoes have laid their eggs.
The first indication of filaria ap*
pears in the form of a worm in the
victim's thorax. This develops into
elephantiasis, which causes the pa
tient terrible pams, accompanied by
a constant cough. The sufferer is
worst at night, and the patient be
comes a prey to insomnia.
The only remedy lies in an opera
tion, which in itself is dangerous and
rarely successful. If the worm, which
is a female, is injured and dies
through the operation, its poison gets
Into the blood, the disease is increased
a thousandfold and the chances of re
covery are small.
Milky Sea Is a Puzzle.
The milky sea, as it is known to
mariners, is not yet fully understood.
It seems to be most common In tne
tropical waters of the Indian ocean,
and is described as weird, ghastly and
awe-inspiring, and as giving the ob
server on shipboard the sensation of
passing through a sort of lumineus
fog in which sea and sky seem to join
and all sense of distance Is lost. The
phenomenon is probably due to some
form, of phosphorescence.
Full of Absentees.
There was a larger attendance than
usual in the "Ame" corner" at the
Fifth Avenue hotel last night, and
these we-e some of the interesting
stories told: "Judge Gildersleere," re
marked George. W. Wanamaker, "was
telling the other night of a laughable
bull' made by Maj. Leach, once fa
mous as the head of the Irish rifle
team. The judge was visiting to. Ire
land and remarked: 'Major, is it true
that much of the trouble in this little
country of yours is caused by ab
sentee landlords?' 'It is, sir,' re
sponded the major. 'Sure, our little is
land is full of them.'"-New York
Mail and Express.
The One Thing Wrong.
A foreigner went into one of Boa
ton's bij hotels one Suiiday morning
not long ago and asked lor a typical
Boston breakfast. After some con
ference with the head waiter an espe
cially nice breakfast was served, In
eluding of course codfish balla, brown
bread and pork and beans. The visitor
ate with apparent relish, but after
some minutes oummoned his man,
"These beans are delicious," he said,
"and the coffee could not be better,
but"pointing to the codfish ball
"you may remove the little bun.
