THE lAfflG OF WARSHIPS ^EAUTirUL MODELS AND WHAT THEY COST. Miniature Men-of-War and. Ocean Liners. â€" Complete in Ev- ery Detail^ It is not geii«i-ally known that it s the custom of a large shipbwild- :rs to lirst make a model of the jroposed new baltlet.liip bcioie the ceel is laid in the .yard. Tlieie me ieveral reasons for tioitiy ibis. I'ii.st Jecause it groatly fm-Ilitiites the coii- itructiou of the vessi-i i'he Iiiies> of the ship are laid down from the uodel, working and other drawings ire then made froai tlie.se lines, and '.he material ordered from the model ind di-awings, says London An- iwers. 'I'nese models are very elaborate illairs. They lake from two to sir-c nonths to bnild, and cost anywhere ioui Sl.UOO to $4,000, and even noro. All the " large shipbuilders lave a model-room, and a visit to jnc of these museums is an interest- ing e.Kperience. In the model-room it tlxe Thames Ironworks and Ship- building Company some very (inu jpecimens of model work may be Been. They are nothing less than 11 faithful representation in mini.ilurc of some of the famous battlesliips of the day. F.very gun and boat that the ships carry are repioseiitod on these beautiful toys. The company in question ai-e now building two new vessels for the British navy, the Diiiiaan and Corn- wallis. The museum boast.s of a very fine model of these sister shi[s. An inspection of it reveals the num- ber of guii.y the warshii>s will carry when completed. There are four 12in. breecli-loiiding yi:r.s, twelve 6in. quick-tiring, and Uti other guns to each vessel. There are also four toriiedo dischargers, and a little nickel-siUer torpedo is shown in the act of being lired. In all the models of warships seen in this interesting museum the guns, large and small, are faithfully re- presented. Complicated electjic winclies, regulation chain cables, tiny engines, batllw hatches with gratings of iron bars, steering wheels â€" everything, in sliort, is of ".«?!â- - vic«" pattern, even to the least block for the running rigging. Much of the work is tiuite as delicate a.s that done by any watchniakor, often requiring the use of a magnifying glass in linishing and adjusting the almost microscopic parts, am' 'he artisans engaged in this kind of work take cv.i odd sort of pride in giving the toys cttpability of motion wherover possible â€" in other words, making them iit'actieal and real. The 6in. riflo that frowns from a port is almost as elaborate in its Jneohani.sm as the huge weapon which it imitates so accurut-ely. Attached to the smoke-stack are a whistle and a steam-siren in miniature : tentilators turn their gaping aiouths to em imaginary l)reeze : Ardois signals are ready to flash ; and searchlights are prepared to re- veal tlic approach of a prowling enemy. These exquisite e-\amples of toy- niaking are, of course, llie property Dt the builders. Hut tlie Adniirally make models of warships for their own use, that is to sa.v. models of lach class of battleship. They iire made at Chatham by nu-chunirs spe- :ially engaged for the task. If aiiy- Ihing. these miniature ships ore auire elaborate than those turned out by the shipbuilders. From four to si.x months is the time spent on one model. The hulls, which arc generally of yellow pine, are solid and in three pieces. After they have been cut to iho right shape they are glued to- gether, and then chiselled and saiid- ( apercd until the lines oMictly re- produce those of the battleship. The rudder and propeller shafts are then added, holes are bored for the win- dow ports, when the delicale work â€" the (ittings of tlie deck â€" may be .said to commence. The musts are of wood, but painted to look like the hollow steel ma.'il."! of a real battle- ship. The conning-tower and chart- house are invariably clever pieces of carving. Kach window port is re- presented by a bull's-eye of glass set in a ring of metal. Most of the models arc aiade to scale â€" a quarter of an inch to the foot. Thus, a battleship of 4O0 feet in length would be represented by a model nearly 8^ foot long. They cost from SI, 750 to $2.2,'il) apiece. When linished they are carefully painted. This is curried out willi the utmost delicacy, so as to make the decks look as if actually made of minia- ture planks, while the hvdl is paint- ed the same color as the original. Alany of the miuiature!* at Chatham have nearly a score of rowboats and a couple of steam latincbeii swinging on their little da\its. They are com- plote to the smallest detail, even the ^ Ifa'sc tH)tt0BiH being supplied. ' hi tbe 8ti,Mi9 wa,y shipbuilders nuxkt) "Pure soap 1" You've heard the words.

This beautiful model of the groat liner was made before the keel was laid in the yard. and the same plan was also carried out in the case of the giant Celtic, the lurgF.st vessel afloat. Few have any idea of the cost of the little miniature linera that one frequently sees in the windows of the great steamship companies. Many of these cost as ranch us .$2,- 500: indeed, in one of the windows of a well known stcamsliip lino in Lon- don may be seen a model of an At- lantic liner that cost SO.OOO to con- struct.

Ten thousand dollars has been fre- quently given foz- a 1" foot model of a ship, while in one of our museums there is a model of the old warship Vict ory which represents an outlay of .515,000. NOT A_N EASY TASK. A new military prison chaplain was recently appointed in a certain town in Scotland. He was a man who greatly magnilied his office. On entering one of the cells on his first round of inspection he, with much pomposity, thus addressed the pri- soner who occupied it: â- Well, sir, do you know who 1 am?" â- JNo, nor I dinna care," was the nonchalant reply. 'Weel, I'm your new chaplain." 'Oh! ye are. Well, I hae heard o"' ye before." "And what did you hear?" return- ed the chaplain. his curiosity get- ting the better of his dignity. "Well, 1 heard that the last twa kirks ye were in ye preached them baith empty, but I'll be hanged if ye' 11 lind it such au eas.v matter to do the Kome wi' this one." THE ItlNG'S POPULARITY. Witli High, and Low He Is a Fav- orite for Good Cause. What sort of a ruler has iving Edwitrd Vll. turned out to be? To this question there is but one an- swer- , both among the few who kno'w and the many who can only guess. lie Has proved an admirable King, writes Sydney Brooks to the New York. Commercial-iVdvertiser from Loudon. There is a member of LorcL Salisbury's Cabinet who is one of the three most powerful statesmen in the country. Many think, him the most powerful states- man not only in the country, but in the Empire. He was always a par- ticular favorite with Queen Vic- toria.. Ho has been thrown into the closest relations, both private and official, with King Edward for the <ast fifteen years. Personally he dislikes the King. He disliked nim when, he was Trincc of Wales; he dis- likes him now. I have kno^^n him to use some startingly frank adjec- tives or. the subject. His opinion of Rtlwtird Vll. as a King Is not therefore inllucuced b.v any admira- tion for him as a man. Thi.s makes all the more remarkable his deliber- ately exiuessed judpiient that "from the day of his accession the King has done perfectly." He went on to say that the King's shr«iwdness and tact and industry and extraordinary ipiiclcness in grasping the point of an argumeut, or a situation has ASTONISHED HIS MINlSTEliS. lie especially praised His Majesty's "nutuageableness." The King has proved far more docile, more willing i to surrender his •private wishes, less ; crochoty than was liueen Victoria. j'He had not made a. single mis- |lake"; it was "a pleasure to work Willi him"; you could always 'rely on tlie right thing being done or said at the right nK>nient in the right way." Above all. he is "a man you can convince": he gives way with iuiperturbablo good hu- mor, when lie is satislietl that "rea- sons of state" retpiire the surrender of private schemes and iuclinations. There is a, (piality in the King which only those iu touch with him can accurately appreciate. For the public his chief attraction remains ill his instinct for combining 'pagean- try, show and ceremony with dem- ocracy. The inas.ses like to think of the King as "having a good time," attending the theatre, race course and polo ground just like any of his subjects. without fuss or unneces- sary delay or any of the military Iirecatitions that on the Continent I convert the simplest incident into a slate event. They also like to think that when ceremony is necessary no I one Ci.1.11 be more ceremonial. Ihi both laeeouiils their opinion of the King I is well justified. He gratilies them 'by being vi.Kiblc and public with- out cheapening the crown, and by the apparent air of henrliiie.ss and I good-fellowship be dilTus(?s. At the I same time he gives them the pomp ! and glitter and slalelinoss which no jmonofchy can safely dispense with, (hie talks of the popularity of Lord j Uo.'ebory and Mr. Chamberlain. It is ' nothing compared with the King's. PEIlHAPa. "I di>n't have no opinion of th''se new-fangled women's notions." said Mr. Hyde, when his wife timidly e.x- pres.sed her desire to join the wo- man's self-improvement society. "liut we learn so much tliere," ventureil Mrs. Hyde. "Don't believe it!" snapped Mr. Hyde. ''Women don't know much. that's a feict; but let 'em stick to their domestic duties and learn them. That's iny opinion. Let 'em fol- low St. Paul's injunction, stay home, and ask their husbands they want to know anything." "But, John " "I've settled it, and that's ougb. Jane." "But, Jolin. that's what women have been doing all this time, and perhaps that's the reason they don't know much." And then Mr. Hyde threw his boot at the cat and boxod Freddy's ears for grinning.

Miss Liddell sulTered with Female Weakness and Backache. and for months was so ill as to be unable to o.ttend to her household duties, the slightest task being too much for her in her weakened condition.

Miss Liddell is very grateful for her remarkable deliverance, and strongly recommends Dodd's Kidney Pills to all her lady acquaintances who need help. She has given for publication a very strong letter of recommendation in which she says : "I would most heartily and con- scientiously advise all young women troubled with Female Weakness in any form, to try the remedy that cured me after everything else had failed, and that remedy is Dodd's Kidney Pills.
