Although there has been no interna SJonul race for the America's Cup, the Treason has ljcen a notable one among the sailing craft as well as among the steamers. This Is owing to the advent of an entirely new racing-cluss the yachts of forty-six feet water-line, or, ts they are more commonly known, the "forty-six-footers. ' The class it self is not a new one, yachts included in it having been tfovdrites for several years as cruisers, but not until this treason have American boats been designed for it with special reference to speed, and speed alone. During the past season this was the racing class par excel lence, and the one in whl"h centered the greasest interest for the general public as well as for the yaihtsmen. Jlost celebrated in this class is the "wonderful (ilotfatia, owned by Vice Commodore .Morgan l-roin .lunojti, when she ilrst made yachtsmen open their eyes in the tegatta of the Atlan tic Yacht club, she hus not been beaten. JTaa tweiity-six-mile efiirse she beat Jessica eleven minutes twenty-one sec vmds, and Nautilus fourteen minutes eighteen seconds. Victories followed in the Nmv York Yacht club tegatta, "the Corinthian Yacht club regatta, and others, and she wound up by carrying tT the (Jfelet cup and the Newport fcweepstakes.

Chief of these is her -enormous overhung, eleven feet for wml, and thirteen feet nine inches intt, giving her a length over all of weventy feet on a water-line of only -forty-live feet three inches Thisover 'bang, in the opinion of some experts, vas given to gain water-line length JHr.Jiugusdcmoz 'Jftineoh when keeled over ton breeze, and Uit lines are so drawn that this object cannot fail to be obtained.

Mr. Jlerrcsholi explained onu of his ideas In designing her by saying that lie thought it would be easier for a lioat to travel over the water than through it.

She is a tri lie wider than the llurbarn. and though drawing more than a foot less water, still carries the built of her lead almost as low by reason of her wider keel, and its more gradual wind up from the ktcrnpost to the forefoot. As before stated, the lleatrix is tho only one built witli a center-board. The others uro keel-boats, of an ex treme type so far as draught is con cerned. The lute Mr. llurgess built the lleatrix rather as an cxierimcut than anything; but slie was soon dis covered to be n far speedier boat than any of the other Kastern forty-six-footers. I nfortuutitely, her owners were not members-although their iiiimci were up for elect. on of the New York Yacht club when its licet went on the annual cruise. Consequently, she was unable to try con-'liiMons with the wonderful (ilorlanu. On August 17th she met her rival for the first time, oil' Newport, in the race for the third annual sweep stakes, under the uuspiees of thoCorin thiun acht Club, of New York, of which Mr. August ilelmont is lleet - captain. .Seven of the forty - six - footers started Olori ana, lleatrix, Oweene, Hur bura, Snyouara, Minecola and .lessica.

JUSTICES WHO TIE THE KNOT FOR LOVING COUPLES. rnnnj Strlr Gathered In Jullr- or der Viiiing I'rople I'refer k Civil Mar rlac" HrciHe It I Free from I'linnxl ItT hihI I le Kxpenalre. ( Hundreds of couples are each year united by the justices of the peace of St Louis. It is almost surprising to what extent people seek this form of civil mar riage. The two hearts that are made to beat as one by a suave justice are by no means always those of giddy young elopers, as the general piiblic believes. 'What is the reason that so many peo ple prefer a conrt marriage to a religions one?" was asked Squire Frank Spaulding 'I think that in the majority of eases it is because it is so free from formality There is no time lost in making the couple man and wife. The form pre scribed by the statute does not take more than half a minute to go through with Nearly ull the jieople united by the magistrates are poor and unable and unwilling to go to the expense of buying uu exteiisivo wedding outfit. They need the money to provide for their own ini mediate wants. Then u great number of people ate bashful and do not like to stand up in front of a crowd and be mar ried. They can go before a magistrate ! and be united in tho presence of only two or three persons. Do they always have money for the fee?" 'In nearly every case. When they haven't 1 always make it my duty to marry them anyway." What do they usually give to the magistrate?" 'Oh, it varies. Tho law prescribes a fee. but jieople give different prices Usually it is five dollars. About a year ago u woman brought a young fellow m hero. They hud a license, and he was half scared to death, while she was calm and businesslike. Ue didn't say a word while she explained to me what was wuuted. i made them man and wife. Sho then reached down into a pocket in her dress, pulled out a roll of bills and handed me five dollars. She then gave her husband a five dollnr note, sayiug, Go on out uml treat the squire.' I've always wondered what kind of a life that poor man's leading now, for it was evident that his wife was the head of the fumily DIDN'T- WANT TO UK il AHItlKD. 'When I was with Squire Tuft nt Eleventh and Franklin avenue, we used to huve a great many ludicrous inci dents. We had so many murnages there that the place got to be known as the marriage corner. One day an intelligent looking young couple came in. They had heard that the place was where they should go to get iiiurriuge licenses. They didn't know anything ubout thut part of the programme. The clerk directed them to the recorder's office. They went and secured the license, and probably thinking it was necessary to go through some additional formality came back to our ofllce, Squire Taft was busy trying a case, and at once got down oft tho bench. He knew nothing of the preced ing visit, and at once proceeded to go through the ceremony "As soon as lie pronounced them man and wife the young girl threw up her hands and fell into a chair in -dismay. Great GodI what will my mother say? This is a Protestant marriage!' she cried. She was n devout Catholic, and thought she was only going through part of the forms to secure a license Although they were married as tight as the law could do it, they were married that night by a (Jutholic priest." "Do you have many runaway couples call upon you?" wns asked. 'Not us many us the public generally imagine. They uro generally from out of tho city, anil ure tired and weary with tho journey und excitement when tlioy arrivo. Several years ago a couple went into Squire Tuft's olllce. He was out, and they sat down on a bench to rest. They hnd inatlo a long journey, aud tho first thing tho groom did was to go to sleep. The little girl tit lust gave in too. She leaned her head upon his breast, nnd both were in the deepest kind of slumber when the squire canio in. No one liked to wake them, but finally wo made enough uoiso to arouse them. "A minute later they had boon pro nounced man mid wife. The groom laughed merrily over his fulling asleep, and at the conclusion of the ceremony said, '1 don't know which refreshed mo tho most, going to sleep or getting mar ried.' KUNNY INCIDENTS. "Tho funniest incident 1 know of wns tho groom thut forgot his bride's first naine. It wasn't long before wo hud that fixed, however, and they went on their way rejoicing." "Have you ever followed up tho after lives of couples you have married?" 'No; but about half of them follow mo up, The general impression of tho poorer classes is thut a man who can marry thorn can also unmarry them. I should say that fully live out of every ten couples 1 marry come around again nnd want a diyorco. Then in a great many cases when the couple have a quarrel tho husband tears up the mar riage certificate aud tells his wife they aro no longer wedded. Tho wifo gener ally comes around to see mo and I give her a new one. "1 remoniber a couple I married n short time ago. They went off on n bridal trip to Illinois, and had a quarrel about two days after the marriage Tho bus- j baud left, vowing ho wns coming back atiu get the marriage certtticato, ami by tearing it up break oil' the marriage. Tho wife telegraphed to mo not to give him the certificate. Thoy mado up later, ami aro now living happily together. "Squire Tuft used to iiiuko 'kiss tho brido jiart of the ceremony One day a young fellow and a woman of about sixty camo In, ami when, after tho cere mony, the wpitro said Ivlss the bride, she revolted.

J It was back somewhere In the sixties Tchen the incident I am about to relate occurred The date has not been put back so as to prevent a critical exami nation by the incredulous, but because it belongs to that eriod. There were three of us hunting prairie chickens. They were plentier then than they are now it was but a little task to secure a bag of them But only a few can have such a rare treat now as the breast of a young prairie chicken fried. As we were tramping cautiously through the thick, clean prairie grass a blue racer moved slowly out of our way It was not the length of the snake that attracted our attention, but its unusual thickness and its indisposition to get out of the way Neither did it show any inclination to resist the invasion Its eyes had not the well known flash of tight. The bulging thickness of the snake excited our curiosity. After killing it one of the boys with his knife ripped it open, and there to our great surprise out rolled a rattlesnake which was near ly as long, antl before he had been com pressed seemed to have been nearly as thick us the racer He had, if I remem ber correctly, a button aud two rattles. If I had the opportunity now, 1 would be more careful in the examination of 6ueh n rare natural wonder 1 would measure the length and thickness of both snakes, und would also be sure to find out whether the rattlesnake was swal lowed head or tail first, and whether he had been started on his inland journey before or after death. I had heard thut snakes swallowed toads and frogs without dissection, but had doubts ol the ability of tiie snake to so expand his throat; but after this inci dent I doubt no more, and would not be greatly surprised to hear of a racer swal lowing himself. .1 B. Marliu in Cen tral Christian Advocate. Kviilutlim of the Knife. "This easeful of implements which we have newly placed on exhibition is designed to show the development of the tool which we call the knife, beginning from tho earliest times." said Professor Mason at the National museum. "First, you observe, is tho fragment of flint, which the savage split by batiging it on top with a stone hammer into a number of Hakes. The smaller ones were used for arrow points and the bigger ones for knives, their edges being split oft" so sharp that yon might almost shave with some of them Next yon see the flint inserted into a handle of split wood or bone, and us further improvements, tho fastenings of this primitive knife in tho handle by the rosm of trees and by cord of one sort or another bound around to securo it. "The most beautiful knife in tho col lection is this exquisitely molded blade of greenish jade, belonging to tho stone ago, branded with a walrus tusk. You can hardly find a more admirably form ed weapon among tho products of mod ern cutlery wures Most curious of tho modern tools here is this sailor's knife, square at tho end instead of pointed, to prevent stabbing in a row, or tho dan gerous falling of the weapon from aloft. Its blade drops out at the end of the handle when a spriiig is touched, so that Jack can hold u rope with one hand nnd open tho knifo for servico without the need of ten lingers. Washington Star.

She used to sneak under the fence, you know, just the way hens do always, tip toe across tho grass border with tho min uet step and thou tho elder's garden had to tuko it. Of course it was aggravat ing. Did you ever watch a hen at this job? Sho trips carelessly into the middle of tho garden bed; she cocks her head; a cureless look comes into her eye; she bal ances partners witli a flip and a scrape to the right, n flirt uml n kick to the left, u double sliuflle and a grand skirt dunce flourish.

Through this shot or sinker a hole is drilled, und through the hole is passed n rod of iron which moves easily back and forth. At the end of tho barn cup is dug out, the inside being coated with lard. Tho bar is made fast to tho line, a sling holding the shot in position. When tho bur, which extends below theshot, touches tho bottom tho sling unhooks, and tho shot slides downward and drives the lard coated cup into the sand nt tho bottom. In that way tho character of the ocean's floor is determined. St. Louis Republic Three Wuya of Puttlnc It. narry came in from his play roaring liko a little bull of Baslinu.

HURTING A STRANGER'S FEELINGS. He Did Wht He rrmled and Tried to I.I It It. There were probably a hundred people In the old Island House depot in Toledo when a tall, thin man, who might have been 40 years old and did uot look to weigh over ninety pounds, who had a rojw harness on him, pawed around the waiting room and said: "I am coins to give on exhibition of strength outside the building, and shall ex pect the small sum of a dime from each looker-on. I am going to nttempt to raise a dead weight of two tons." All the men und quite a number of the wo men went out, and enough townspeople came down to make a crowd of three hundred. The thin man passed around through the crowd and took up a collection, nnd he must have got an average of ten cents for every one present. When he had pocketed the money he approached several larue grindstones ly ing in a heap and chained together and an nounced: "Ladies and Gentlemen: I thank you kind ly for vour contributions. Here is a dead weight of '2,000 iounds. I shall attempt to lift it." , . An iron hook in the harness wns hooked Into the chain incklhig tin; grindstones, nnd the thin man lgan to straighten up. He was encouraged and applauded by the crowd, but the strain lie put out would not have raised fifty mjuihR He kept at it three or four initiate?, and then unhooked and backed off, nnd said: "Ladies antl gentlemen, it's no use; I can't do it. I have tried und failed.'' "See here this looks like a fraud!" ex eluiiitctl a man who had chipjied in a quarter. "Oh, don't say that!" sorrowfully replied the thin man. "You nil saw mo try." "But you led us to lieliove you could lift 2,000 pounds." 'Well, I was hi liojies I could. I really uish I could, but I don't believe I ever can." "That's pretty tlurn thin!" growled red whiker, "and I'm a good mind to give you n taste of my bootl" "Oh, please don't! I tried my best, and when a man has tlono his best such talk hurts his feelings. You don't know how badly I want to lift 2,000 pounds." "I believe you nro a fukir." "A fakir!
