ABOUT SHIPS' BELLS.

A LANGUAGE MORE EXTENSIVE THAN LANDSMEN SUPPOSE,

^In Addition to Announcing the Time the Bells Are Cted For Making Certain 8igiwli—Formality on Board a Naval Tee* Jr sel at Eight Bells.

The language of a ship*8 1ell, so significant to a sailor man, is full of mystery for the average landlubber, and .^moet of the visitors to a warship leave the ship as ignorant of the meaning of jthe bell signals as when they went aboard.

Commander Rockwell, TJ. S. N., has given straie information on the subject '.which will be interesting to the thonsands who have visited Uncle Sam's ^hips. "As bunting is the medium through Vhich a ship ordinarily communicates with the outside world," be says, "so the bell is that through wlfich she addresses herself to those aboard, and which in all tie navies of the world lings forth the hours, summons to worship and peals the danger signals. "Every landsman has probably learned and forgotten the method of striking the hour aboard ship, but the dullest may make sure of this knowledge for the rest of his life by getting two or three things clear in his head. The nautical day begins an'J ends at noon, when eight bells is struck. The bell is struck half hourly day and night, one stroke being added for every half hour, mi til eight is reached, when the count "begins again at one belL

Thus the hours are indicated in every navy of the civilized world, except the British. Here there is a curious deviation from the ordinary naval method of indicating the hour. "In the matter of the bell there is in the United States navy a routine long established by precedent. The bell, usually a small affair, of rather high, light tone, hangs either just forward or just abaft of the foremast, on or under the forecastle. The captain's orderly keeps the time and reports to the officer of the deok the hour in terms of bells. The officer of the deck then bids the messenger of the watch to strike the belL "There is somewhat more formality at eight bells tkan at other times, for then the hour is reported to the captain, and the bell is not struck until he has said, 'Make it so.' "Here is the routine at 8 a. m.: The orderly says to the officer of the deck, 'Eight bells, sir.' The officer of the deck replies, 'Report to the captain eight bells and chronometers wound, sir.' The orderly then goes to the captain and says, 'Eight bells and chronometers wound, sir.' The captain, if he be 60 minded, replies: 'Very well. Make it so.' The orderly returns to the officer of 'the deck and says, 'Make it so.' The ^officer of the deck says to the messenger of the watch, 'Strike eight bells,' and if everybody has been prompt the messenger strikes eight bells at exactly 8 a. m. "Nobody knows whether it would be eight bells if the dignified captain should take it into his head to withhold his majestic 'Make it so,' for an American naval captain is so powerful a person aboard ship and routine has so powerful a hold on the navy that perhaps the oaptain, if so minded, might put the nautical day out of joint

When ships are cruising in squadron, the entire fleet, lying in port, awaits the flagship's bells. On all the other ships the messenger stands by the bell, clapper in hand, and as soon as the bell has sounded the bells throughout the fleet are sounded. Lying, as they are, quite close together, the effect is interesting and agreeable. "The flagship also gives out the time to the other vessels every morning. Shortly before seven bells, at 7:80 o'clock a. m., a time signal is displayed by the flagship. At exactly 7 :80 this signal drops, the clocks on all the ships are set, and seven bells is struck throughout the fleet. "The ship's bell serves not only to Indicate the hours, but to signal a variety of other things. When the ship carries a chaplain, the bell is tolled for service on Sunday morning. The bell, however, is not tollod at funerals. With a nice sense of propriety the navy regulations provide for the mere passing of the word, 'All hands bury the dead.' In all matters pertaining to death the navy is distinguished for delicacy and a touch of old fashioned sentiment, to be expected of men who, in theory at least, are supposed to be risking their lives in tbe service of others. "The bell is also the fire signal. When afire is di«!uvered aboard ship, tbe bell is rung rapidly, and the ship's company responds with the proper appliances for putting out the fire. When a ship is in action, however, the bell is not used us afire signal, lest the knowledge that there is afire aboard ship throw the crew into panic and distract them from their business of fighting. Afire during action is reported to the oaptain, and he details officers and men to the duty of putting out the blaze. "The ship's bell is employed in all the navies, except the Turkish, as a fog signal When a ship lies at anchor in a fog the boil is kept going with strokes in sets erf three, separated by a short interval. The Turks, who have a distrust of bells, use drums for this purpose. "The provisions of the United States navy make it Impossible that tbe various signals of the bells shall be confused oue with another. Tbe tolling for church, single strokes, separated by a single interval, cannot be mistaken for the rapid and irregular fire alarm, nor can either of these be oowfused with the triple fog signal. The half hour signals are different from either of these. They are sounded in pairs, with a short interval If au odd number is to be sonnd *d tbe single stroko comes last"—Boston Globe.

A New Dressing Table.

The dnchos.ie dreeing table is a treasure whose value many women who have known its comfort would find it hard to compute. It is so low that its owner may sit before its mirror and "do" her hair with comfort, and it is easily made at home by simply sawing off the legs of a pine stand and covering it with pink or bluo silesia, with an outer covering of ruffled dotted muslin or fine cheesecloth embroidered in wild roses or forgetmenots to match the underlying hue. Tbe mirror may be one of the old fashioned mahogany Or brass framed glasses, or a common wooden frame may be covered and artistically draped with the materials used on the table. A lace pincushion and brass or silver candlesticks, with as many cut glass bottles and ivory or silver backed brushes as the owner can muster, oomplete a charming bit of bedroom plenishing.

MISS PAULINE HALL,

Pauline Hall, tbe empress of song, is celebrated the world over as the Representative American Beauty, who has in the presentation of her new operatic comedy, "Dorcas," achieved the success of her eventful life. In a conversation with the representative of thig^paper she stated: "I have in my professional experience essayed a number of roles that have been more or less trying upon the physical and nervous aysteuo, but in none that I have attempted have I everexp^rienced tbe terrific strain that th«i various characters which Iassnm«in my new operatic comedy, 'Dorcas,' have subjected me to. The assumption of one character in a presentation is generally conceded to be a sufficient undertaking for any one person, but in 'Dorcas' I assume three, all different, and I might say diametrically opposite to each other. "Tho terriflcstrnin naturally resulting from such difficult work, which is anew and direct departure from anything I have ever presented to the public before, naturally had a very distressing effect upon me, and I was constrained to seek

some relief from the mental and physical exhaustion from bay'labors. Alter trying several remedies that were commended to me as being exceptionally good for tbe nervous exhaustion which I was subjected to, I was eventually induced to make a trial of Dr Greene's celebrated Nervura, and the great relief which it afforded me was almost instantaneous in its effect, and I have no. hesitation in unqualifiedly endorsing Dr. Oreene's Nervura as the best tonio and restorer of a nervous and debilitated system of any remedy that I have ever tested. It is remarkkable for tbe rapidity with which its restorative qualities assert themselves. It is abso lutely harmless, and the instantaneous relief which it affords to the nervous and tired system is grateful In the extreme. I can readily understand why it is that so many hearty recommendations are given by people of prominence, especially those in our profession, for Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and my own experience justifies me in recommending it as absolutely the best remedy which I have ever used."

An Unteaohable Man.

I have always found myself one of the most unteachable of human beings. I aannot, to this day, take in anything at secondhand. I have in all cases to learn whatever I want to learn in a way of my own. It has been so with law, with langu^es, with Indian administration, with the machinery I have had to study in patent cases, with English composition—in short, with everything whatever.—"Life of Sir James Fitzjames Stephens."

A WOMAN 8CUIPT0R.

Though Yet Very Young, Mrs, Theodore Kltson Has Made a Name. Theo Alice Boggles Kitson, wife of the Well known Boston Boulptor, H. H. Kitson, is rapidly becoming one of the foremost women sculptors of America. One of her latest efforts is the life sized portrait of her baby girl in plaster. The work has been accepted in two art exhibitions in Boston also in tbe Fine Arts galleries of New York. Mrs. Kitson oiaims tbe distinction of being the only woman yet admitted into the National Sculpture society. She is also its yonngost member. Slie is not yet SJ 5 years old,

When under the age of 20, her work was known in Paris. Twice her statues recefvod honoruble mention in the salon, and she has since been medaled in Boston, Khe was first brought to public notice by a life size statue called "On the Banks of the Aise," which was ex­

hibited in the salon of 1888. For it she recoived honorable mention. The year following she received honorable mention at the salon for her "Young Orphans." At that period Mrs. Kitson was the youngest exhibitor who ever received an honor at the salon. She began her studies in the studio of H. H. Kitson at the age of 15. She remained under instructions for two years. She then went to fcaris and studied in the studios of Dagnan-Bouveret and Courtoi|. She developed much originality, but she found it difficult to keep from working in clay. She, however, did not neglect her drawing and spent much of her time in sketching from the nude and antique.

On her return to America she again entered the studio of Mr. Kitson, whom she afterward married. Mrs. Kitson is best known in Chicago by he? statues which represented the forests of Michigan, which were exhibited at the World's fair. They were a commission from the women of that state.—Chicago Times-Herald.

Women Like the Beantlfdl. The following story was told at a woman's club meeting. It was told to illtuSiate the effect of environment, to prove the: powerful influence that surroundings may have upon human endeavor and achievement. A party of women once had the privilege of inspecting a factory devoted to the manufacture of spool thread. Their cicerone was the proprietor of the factory, which is one of the largest and most complete in the world. But what most impressed the visitors was not the size and evident prosperity of the plant, but the beauty of the place. Not only was every hygienio and commercial comfort attended to, but, so far as possible, every sesthetic consideration was observed as welL Around each wall of the spacious, well windowed apartments where the work was done ran a broad, exquisitely paintded frieze. The figures upon the frieze were a dainty danoing company, beautiful in color as well as in form and fit to grace the walls of a dwelling rather than a mill. Finally, one of the women, a practical, plain spoken dame, asked the mill owner why he made beauty such an object. "I don't see the use of a frieze like that in a factory like this," she said bluntly. "Why do you have it?" The mill owner smiled. "Well, como to think of it, it's a very practical reason," he said. "I find that it makes better thread."—New York Sun.

The Woman Who Paints Cats.

Only three of the 450 canvases whioh hang in the Louvre portray the cat. This proportion of painted representations of cats obtains also throughout tbe world of art, writes Frances E. Lanigan in a sketch of Mme. Henriette Bonner of Holland in The Ladies' Home Journal. During the last few centuries but four artists have painted cats wellthree men, Gottfried Mind, a Swiss Hokusai, a Japanese Louis Eugene Lambert, a Frenchman, and but one woman, Mme. Henriette Bonner of Holland. Tbe reason for this avoidance of the oat as a subjeot in art is not because of its lack of charm, beauty or graoe—these are admitted by every one —•but because of its difficulty. No living thing is so changeable and variable in contour, in expression and is markings as Shylock's "harmless, necessary oat," and none is therefore go difficult of portrayal.

Another Profession.

A Buffalo young woman with lots of snap and energy has opened what she calls a trading bureau. If anybody has anything he wants to trade off or sell, from a finger ring to a four-in-hand, from a birdcage to a traction engine, •be mil endeavor to find some one who

TELL-TALE FACES.

HNC1IED AND CASEWORK,

As Wern by Many American Women.

[SPECIAL TO OOB ULDY S SAD KM.]

The tell-tale face Is worn by many American women, and is a symptom of symptoms, a signal of distress.

While women do all in their power to hide their condition, the practised eye soon detects the trouble.

When pains and aches are felt in every part of the body, when fainttness, dizziness, and that bearing-down feeling prevail, wfcn loss of sleep and appetite are reducing flesh daily, when tbe society of friends is irksome, and the hopeless

nate, then the face is pinched, haggard, and careworn, and prompt relief is necessary, or a beautiful life will be sacrificed.

An American w£h., man, Lydia E. ,') Pinkham, a student of women and their diseases, twenty years ago succeeded

in producing an absolute cure for all diseases of women. Lydia E. Pinkham a "Vegetable Compound stands to-day as it did then, pre-eminent.

Mrs. H. Wampler, of Barabo, Wis., whose letter we were permitted^to publish last year, writes that she hopes Mrs. Pinkham will continue to use her name, as the publication in newspapers of the account of her own wonderful cure and relief from years of misery has been the means of influencing many suffering women to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and become well like herself. Mrs. Wampler feels, and rightly, too, that in this way she il doing a great good.
