The cost varies very considerably'accord- mg to the tonnage of the vessel, its destin- ation, length of voyage, and whether it is a cargo or passenger steamer. There are also steamships which work ferry traflic across rivers or harbors, or are limited to service on rivers or lakes, and therefore itis neces sarily impossible to lay down any rate of expenditure which would be applicable generally. Taking the case of one of the larger Atlantic liners, it has been estimated that the cost of running a. steamship, such as the new Cunarder Campania, or its sister . steamship, the Lucania (with the exception > of the Great Eastern, the largest vessel ever built), will be about $90,000 a. month. ‘ Amongst the heavier items, the salaries and wages will total up to something like $12,- crew and a couple of about $35,000. , insurance, and depreciation add largely to the debit side of the account, to say nothingyf occa- sional accidents to machinery, loss through thousand passengers, other steamships ranges downwards more or less quickly ; that of running an ordinary 'trading steamer of 1,000 tons being about $2,000 a month, while, in the case of river boats the cost becomes rapidly smaller as The fleet of the Peninsular and Oriental Steamship Com- pany consists of 51 vessels, and the work- ing expenses amount to nearly $12,500,000 annually, or over $245,000 on the average h steamer. m Fashion Hints.

Doxford Sons, of Sunderland, England, which is practically a modification of the whaleback type now largely used on the great lakes. In the only vessel of this I design yet built the hull is shaped like most! other vessels from keel to water line, but] 'from the water- line the shell is rounded' off upward and inward until it terminated at the upper deck level in an upright structure, misnamed a turret, running fore 1 and aft. The vessel has no sheer, the deck 1 reaching in a perfect straight line fore and ( aft. 'l‘he plating, running inward from k the water line to the turret deck, is thick 1 and strong like that of the hull proper, so ‘ that the whole skin of the vessel above and J ‘ below is of the same thickness. The engines c are placed aft, as in whalebael: steamers, so that from the engine room to the forecastle f there is a long continuous hold, interfered with only by the necessary bulkheads. The c boat’s accommodations for engineers and ] crew are all shaft the engine room, but the e captain and officers are placed as usual 1, under the bridge form-.rd. 1i I Kilt-plaited skirts have reappeared, and, ‘in fact, the tendency '13 toward floating loose effects, the form being no longer in- cased in sheath-like coverings.

He was sure that a cobra had hit- ten him. and it was too much for his nerves and he died. “ Frederick 1., of Prussia, was killed by fear. His wife was insane, and one day she escaped from her keepers. and, dab- bling her clothes in blood, rushed upon her husband while he was dozing in his chair. King Frederick imagined her to be the} white lady, whose ghost was believed to in- l variably appear whenever the death of a. member of the royal family was to occur, and he was thrown into a fever and died in six weeks. i “But perhaps the most remarkable death ‘from fear was that of the Dutch painter, l Pentman, who lived in the seventeenthcen- l tury.
