THAINS OF THE SEA.
Enormous Outlay ReqHlred by tho
Fast Steamships.
Sevaral of the transatlantic-steamship
companies are at present en
gaged in the experimental solution
of a problem which has considerable
interest for the traveling public. It
is the question, Can the new class
of steamships of extreme speed and
enormous size be made to pay? The
managers of the Cunard .Line seem
to believe in the profitableness of
such ships, for within the last few
years tey have added to their fleet
five of the fastest and largest vessels
afloat The General Transatlantic
Company is following the example
of the Cunard people, and next sum
mer the service between New York
and Havre will be made 1jy tho large
new steamers which tho company
has recently built. The other lines,
however, hold back. TheWhiteStar
Line has made no addition to its fleet
for years, and has now no vessel that
can be called swift, as the word is
applied to ocean steamships in 1885.
The same is true qf the Inman Line.
The Guion Line, still retains the
Alaska and the Arizona. The Na
tional Line has the America, and the
City of Rome is run by the Anchor
Line. But the Guion Line was glad
to dispose of the Oregon to the Cu
nard Company, and the rumor of war
between England and Russia, which
led jto the chartering of the Oregon
and'several other steamers, was said
to be a cause of devout thankfulness
to tho companies whose property was
taken. On the other hand, it is said
that this class of vessels has not yet
had a fair trial. It is about four
years, however, since the Alaska and
Arizona began to astonish the world
by their rapid passages.
There are certain conditions which
enter into the problem, and which
render the ultimate success of ves
sels of this type extremely doubtful.
In tho first place, high speed cannot
be attained without enormous size.
This increase is-rendered necessary
by the size of the engines, the largo
amount of space which- must bo de
voted to the boilers, and the im
mense amount of coal which is con
sumed. The increase of size means
an incrense in the original cost of the
vessels, and an increase in the ex
pense of running them. Tho cost of
a steamer like the Etruria may be
set down at about $1,000,000. She is
manned by a inucirblgger crew then
is required for a vessel of 5,000 or 6,
000 tons burden. She burns over
300 tons of coal daily. Finally, the
advantages of a fast trip across the
ocean are often lost on account of the
difficulties of bringing the vessel into
port. On tho other hand, such a
vessel carries more passengers and
freight than a -smaller and slower
one. The Etruria has crossed the
Atlantic with 600 first-class passen
gers. It is certain that if she car
ried the same number on every trip
she would yield a handsome profit to
her owners". But this is impossible.
All through the winter months she
must eitht-r be laid up or run at a
loss. The question, then, is whether
it will pay to build vessels at vast
cost, which will run almost empty
during half the year, and will make
the passage from New York fo Queens
town in twenty-four hours quicker
than any other vessel which costs less
and bump half as much coal. "When
the experiment has been fairly made,
it will probably bo found that the
most profitable type of steamers for
the Atlantic passenger trade is that
represented by the Brittanic, tho
Gallia and the Normandie. These
boats make tho passage in about
eight days, to Liverpool or Havre;
they burn less than 200 tons of coal
daily, and they can comfortably
accommodate about 300 passengers.
Whatis gained incapacity and speed
by the larger and swifter boats is
gained too dearly. New York Trib

Possibilities in a Word.
A gentleman who was away from
home, was writing to his wife from
the office of a hotel, when he paused
a moment in his occupation and
looked perplexed; then he touched
the arm of another traveler sitting
near him in a timid, deprecating way.
"Excuse me, sir," he said courte
ously, "but I am puzzled how to
spell a word I desire to write," and
he pronounced it carefully.
"Don't mention it," responded tho
other with the heartiness of good-fellowship.
I rather flatter myself that
spelling is my strong point. E-x-t a
see there! Glad to accommodate
you."
"Thank you," said the gentleman
who was writing the letter, "my wife
is so particular, that I am ashamed
of my poor spoiling, as it constantly
annoys her. I can tackle ordinary
words easy enough, but those uplex-spring-back-action,
double and twist
throwers, are too much for me," and
he resumed his letter with a relieved
look.
"Pardon me," remarked a gentle
man, wf-o had been dozing in his
chair, "but I think there is a slight
mistake in orthography here. I
have always spelled that word e-x-t-a-c-y."
"Gentlemen," said a clerical-looking
man coming forward, "I am a
professor in a college and am posi
tive that the letter x is not in the
word at all. It is spelled 'e-c-s-t-a-c-y.'
"
"Say! ain't you fellers all wrong?"
inquired a long-legged traveler, who
had been listening earnestly to the
discussion. "I teach spellin' schule
winters, out in Arkansaw, and I've
allusspeltthat thare word 'eggstazy.'
Ef that don't spell it, what do it
spell then?"
Tho bewildered traveler concluded
that perhaps it would be as well to
spell the word in his own way, and
so wrote to his wife that no pen could
describe his o-k-s-t-a-c-e on receiving
a letter from her.
All of which methods of spelling
the word, differ from Mr. Noah
Webster's.

A disease in one part of the body
will eventually fill the whole body
with disease." Every year or two
some part of the Bystem grows weak
and begins to decay. Such part
should be removed at once and new
matter be allowed to take its place.
There's no need of cutting it out with
the surgeon's scalpel. Purge away
the old, diseased and worn out
parts with Braxdketh's Pills. Then
the new body will take care of itself.
Some men don't believe in ad
vertising. They even refuse to
take their home papprs. "When a
man of this stamp dies, the mrirh e
cutter engraves the first advertist

the dead, learn that he once lived

but for his epitaph, "he never
