FIRST PRIZE MONEY.

It Will tie Paid to Captain Signbee and HI* Crew. Captain Charles D. Sigsbee recently wrote that the explosion of the Maine at Havana was the ultimate incident which impelled the people of the United (States to regard Spain as an impossible neighbor, and that, although the war following was not founded on the destruction of the Maine, that disaster was the pivotal event in the conflict. It is a strange coincidence therefore that in the war following Captain Sigsbee thinks was precipitated by the loss of the Maine, he should be the first officer to receive prize money for his action against the enemy that wrecked his vessel.

Captain Sigsbee and liis crew of the auxiliary cruiser St. Paul will shortly reoeive checks from the treasury department, representing the sums they are entitled to under a prize oourt award for capturing the British tramp lieator tnal just as she was about to enter Santiago bearing coal for Cervera's fleet, whioh at that timn was daily expected. It was a single chip capture, 110 fleet being in sight and no other vessel participating. Therefore all the prize money goes to Captain SiR.sbeo and his crew, and, while it is not a large sum, it will be a comfortable remembrance at least to the Maine's former captain of the part ht look to avenge the loss of that vessel.

Under a decision of the Florida courts the oargo of the Restormal was valued at $113,000, the ship being returned to her owners. Prize law provides that in such cashes one-half goes to the government and the remainder to the ship. Captain Sigsbee and his men are to divide $6,500, and the treasury department was directed recently to nialte the payments in accordance with a list presented of the crd\v and the sums each is entitled to receive. The law saj'B that in captures made similar to that of Captain Sigsbee's three-twen-tieths of the amount, after deducting the government's .share, shall go to the skipper. Captain Sigabee thus draws $975 for the part he tonkin helping the United States to resent the loss of the Maine. Other prize decisions are to be adjudicated and paid rapidly. Washington Cor.

STROKES OF THE RAZOR.

AN Experience! ltarber Don't IUiIIm the Amount ot Tliem in a Shave, "Now that you're finished shaving me, how many strt kes of the razor did It require?" asked the man in the chair, as he straigt tened up to have his hair combed. "That's pretty h. ,rd to tell," said the barber. "Of course, it is. But you've been in the business how ong?" "Fifteen years." "You ought to snow by this time about how many trokes of the razor it requires to shaA a man, supposing that you go over his face a second time." "I might make a guess at it." "All right. What's your guess? Remember that I have a hard beard." "Well, I should nay about 125." "You're a good guesser, I don't think. Some time ago I got in the habit of counting the strokes of a razor every time I was being shaved. It's a good way to employ your mind. In shaving me you just made 732 strokes with the razor." "I wouldn't havs believed it." "No man believe it until he takes the trouble to coint. In my case I never knew the number to fall below 500, and it has go:ie more than 800 at times. I call it a stroke every time the razor is brought forward and then drawn back. I should judge that there are no fewer than 500 strokes in a fiist-class shavu. You remember that, and probably you can win a few bets."

A niquc Experience.

To Sir Robert Rawlinson, Iv C. B., belongs the unique distinction of being the only soldier who has be^n knocked out of the saddle by a cannon ball and who has survived to tell the tale. During the Crimean War Sir Robert was riding with a group of artillery officers when he announced his intention of turning back, and, saying "Good morning," saluted. At that instant a shot from the Russian guns came bounding along in front of him, cutting the reins and the pommel of his saddle and throwing a steel purse with terrific force against the officer's hip bone, knocking him from his saddle.

Had not Sir Robert been saluting at that moment his right arm must have been shot off. Lady Rawlinson still preserves the identical 42-pounder which so narrowly missed her husband as an interesting relic.

II ndxon Bay l-Mxappearinir. The rapid rise of the land about Hudson Bay is said to be the most remarkable gradual upheaval of an extensive region ever known. Drift-wood-covered beaches are now 20 to 60 or 70 feet above the water, new islands have appeared, and many channels and all the old harbors have become too shallow for ships. At the present rate, the shallow bay will disappear in a few centuries, adding a vast area of dry land or salt marsh to British territory in America.

DOORS MADE OF VENEER.

Hfill Roar*, Not BTCII the More Contlv Are Mad* of Solid Wood. The very finest of doors are made nowadays of veneer on a body of pine. I Even when made of mahogany or some other costly wood, doors have to be veneered. The body of the door i« made of a plain, straight-grained mahogany, while the surfaces are venders of fine wood.

In the finest doors the body is made of selected white pine, free from sap and perfectly seasoned, which is cut into narrow strips and then glued together. The outer edges of this door are faced with what is called a veneer, but which is really a strip of the fine wood half an inch or more in thickness. The inner edges of the frame, by the panels, are covered in the same manner with thick strips, in which the ornamental mouldings, or carvings, are made, and which are grooved to receive the panels.

This built-up frame of white pine, with edges of the fine wood, is then veneered with the fine wood. In some lighter doors the panels may be of solid mahogany, but in the finer, larger and heavier doors the panels also are made of siieets of white pine with a veneering of the fine wood, so that the entire door is veneered.

It would be difficult, if not impossible, to procure at any cost mahogany lumber in fine and beautiful woods of sufficient size for the larger doors. The built-up and veneered door of pine wood, however, has every appearance of a solid door, and, made of selected veneers, it may be more beautiful than a solid door would be. It is more serviceable and remains longer perfect. Its cost is about half what a solid door would cost.

AccompliMhiueuta of the Camel. "I first formed my opinion of a camel some years ago, when I rode across the Arabian deserts, and I see no reason to alter it in any way. The creature has so many talents and so many ways of exhibiting them. And, to begin with, it can kick, harder, higher, swifter and oftener than a mule, and can use all four feet at one time in a kicking match. Then it can bite worse than a vicious horse, and buck in a way to make a broncho blush with absolute shame. No rider ever lived who can stay on that perch, seven feet from the ground, during a camel's exhibition of gymnastics. Then he can run away when he feels like it, and is often seized with a desire to slope. Upon an occasion of this kind his rider experiences a sensation between being blown up with dynamite and struggling against the throes of an earthquake, until all his joints are dislocated, and he drops, a limp, inert mass, to the ground. Then this sweet creature has a way of evincing his displeasure that is at least effectual and convincing. He twists his snake-iike neck into a circle, and, poking his ugly nose into the face of the rider, opens his cavernous mouth and lets out a roar of disgust in such a fetid breath that elevated human victim is fairly blown into the middle of the coming month (a week being too short a distance)."

Smoking' In Corea.

In Corea all men and women smoke. They begin early. The pipe is a brass bowl, with a reed stem four feet long and a brass, amber or glass mouthpiece. Accidents often occur from persons falling with a long pipe in the mouth, the stem of which is driven down the throat, through the cheek, or into the palate. During the "reform period," after the Japan-China war, long pipes were forbidden to the common people, and they turned to cigarettes, which have become rooted in tbe popular affection. Native cigarettes, which are of poor quality, sell for one cent gold for twenty. Little cigars of cigarette size sell for 14 cents gold per 100. American cigarettes are used exclusively in the palace, and thousands of them are smoked there. This makes them popular with the upper classes, and the consumption of them is very great. The best of them cost one cent gold each. The import duty on cigars and cigarettes is 20 ^per cent, ad valorem, but, in spite of this, the American manufacturers are gradually coming into control of the market.

'I'lie First Interview.
