The fleets of hmrring‘fkhing boats sailing out of the ports of Great Bri- tain are grand seagoing craft, strong and swift. and able to stand the stnrmâ€" iest weather. They are uaually rigged with twn stumpy trusts and carry en- ormous square lugsails, w'huiah. have to be lowered and raised every time the boats “come about." In Scotland and the Emgliqh and Irish ports they are called luggem, but in: Ubae Isle of Man have the local name of “niakies.” In many cases the crews own the boats. each man having a share; but in any case the fishermen have an in- terth in the amount of fish sold, and are paid according to results. It is a glorious sight to see these boats racing home after a good haul. the first boat in having the best market for the in the Isle of Man; Penzance. in Corn- wall. and at some Irish» ports, to see the fiqh taken away by the cartloade to be used by the farmers for manure at times when an unusually big catch has oversupplied the market.

"All cooks agree in this opinion: there is no savory dish without an onion.” it is said that menwe mothers like to name their children by that of the first ohJect on which their eye rests alter the birth of an infant. if this be the custom in the flowery kingdom, some Japanese boys and girls must grow up not too good natured at hear- ing themselves called by such names as “ bedpost,” “bootjaw',” ‘ wash- bowl,” “ pitcher,” “wallpaper," and the like. ' Frangtpani patties are very popular for luncheuns, dessert, etc. The little patties to hold the cream should ‘be made of delicate ”puff” paste, which all good cooks know how to make. 'l‘ he: patties can be made and baked ready the day before needed. The cream is made thus: Put 1-3 a cup of thin cream or rich [Illlllk into a sauceapan with an even tahlksgmnful of flour mixed in. Cook it till it thi"-kens a little; it will take 3 tor 4 minutes. Then remove it from the fire and add a few drops of orange flavor, one tablespoon- ful of wane if desired, and lastly the beaten yolks of four eggs. Set. the sauce-pan in boiling water and stlrtill the mixture grows thick, then add any or all of the following that you may have: -.A tablespoonful of any canned fruit chomped very fine; or the same of candied ginger, almonds, or citron. cut in shreds; cherries, canned, are a good substitute for any of the above. In cooking it, if the cream thickens too much, add a little fresh cream. When done, it should be about the same consistency as an ordinary custard. Serve cold: Quite the newest mode of arranging flowers on the dinner table is to do them in the shape of a fan. A large fan, decorated both sides alike, occuâ€" pies the center of the table, with four smaller ones at each corner. They are very lovely when arranged with lil? ies of the valley and pink carnations, with a little maidenhair fern. The framework of the fan is made of wire. and is covered with moss, in which the flowers are easily placed. They can be purchased at most of the florists. Scrolls of pink ribbon should be car- ried in undulating waves from the cen- ter to the corners of the table. having sprays of lilies scattered upon them at intervals. These fans will look beau- tiful by and by when arranged with pink and white sweet peas. A combination of pink and yellow will probably be the favorite colors of the coming season in table decorations; at any rate, it is very fashionable just now. The pretty birds' nest baskets of last season are much in favor still. and when tastefully filled they are diffi- cult to surpass. These baskets are now made of “ loofah" instead of twi s ;the3 have a fair~sized nest at the ottom. and a tree branch for the handle, at the top of which is pemhed another tiny nest. They reqmre very few flowers to fill them. and with a little trailing green wound up the stern they look very dainty, and are always sure to please.

For the custard for two pies take one pint of sweet milk, boil it, have beaten together the yolks of three eggs, one- half cupful of sugar, two tablespoon- fuls of cornstarch or flour; stir into the boiling milk.

Every one enjoys the luxury of a bath, but in a great many households it has to be accomplished under difficul- ties, as there is no (wave in the house that can be spared for a bathroom. .A lady and her daughter who were fitting up an old house with modern conveni- ences without building an additional room, concluded that the only place {or a bath-tub was in the kitchen, which was of good size The tub was set so that the toy of casing was 30 inches from floor; two doors, same as small closet doors, qpened in front to get ac- cess to the tub; a cover was made to be turned back when the tub wasun use, which also served as a protection to the wall, and when shut down serv- ed as a kitchen table. Faucets for let- ting the water in and out were ll‘OVld- ed. Cypress or white wood she asked makes a good casing for tub. Launching of the Kaiser William the Great at the Sleuth Dock "unis. Of signal interest, not only to all who are engaged in shipbuilding, but also to all Germans, was the launching of the new double screw steamer Kaiser William the Great, which took ,place re- cently near Stettin. This splendid steamer is at present the largest ves« sel of the kind in the world. and Ger- mans are naturally elated at the thought that their country holds the palm in this respect. The dimensions of the monster craft are as followszâ€"She is about 190 metres in length on the water line and 198 metres ower deck. Her breadth is about 20 metres and her depth is 13 metres. Her gross tonnage is registered at 13,800 and her dismlace- ment is 20,000 tons. She has been built under the supervision of the North German Lloyds and the German Lloyds, and she ranks as a first class steam- er. For the safety of the passengers, the freight and the vessel herself, all pos- sible precautionary measures have been taken. There are fifteen watertight bulkheads, and by means of these and of other applianws the vessel is divid- ed into eighteen segmrate watertight compartments. Furthermore, there is a double floor over the entire length of the vessel There are two triple expansion engines, each of which has four cranks and four steam cylinders. Besides these there are not less than 68 wuxiliary engines, for the electric lights, the pumps, etc. ., which are provided with 121 steam cyl- inders. The two main engines are of 30,000 horse power, and the daily con- sumption of coal is from 450 to 500 tons. The average rate of speed is set down as 22 miles an hour. The steamer contains accommodations for 400 first class passengers, 340 second class passengers, and 800 third class ms- sengers. Th: cabins of the first class passengers are amidships or over the promenade deck, those of the second class are toward the stern and those of the third class are in the front (part of the vessel. The various saloons and reception rooms are elegant] furnish- ed and decorated, the first sa oon being ornamented in early Renaissance Ital- ian style._ Some fine paintings are to be seen, among them being those of the Emper- or of Germany‘s residences from the earliest times down to the present day. Decorations in rocco and in uQueen Anne style are also to be seen. Espe- cially tasteful in this respect are the reading room, music room and smoking room. The cabins are designed to ao- commodate from two to three masseu- gers each, but there are also several state cabins for‘special oceasions. The number of men employed on the steamer is 450, of whom 208 form the engineers corps. There are twenty- four steel boats, and the vessel is fur- ther provided with the best modern sat uards a ainst fire. 0n the whole, the aiser illiam the Great is a not- able vessel, and it is no wonder that the Germans are proud of her.

It is as a training school for surh that this Settlement is to find its highest mis- snon. For women's work among them there is a distinct Opening; the PM- see ladies are free f rom Mohammedan and Hindu restrictions; education with them. though partial. is universal. and they are eager for Western culture and intercourse with English women.
