This usually takes the farm of get- ting together a large and. fashionable trousseau, and in possibly taking a few lessons in cookery, on the part of the lady, but if her future husband hap- pens to make any sort of personal pre- parations, he keeps the matter to him- self generally. It is not de rigueur that he should do anything to qualify him- self for the new condition of life which he is about to enter. It is possible that he might with advantage take a hint even from the savages of South Africa in the matter of the training of the masculine candidate for? matri- monial felicity.

ART OF COMPLIMEN TIN G. Compliments are the poetical touches which redeem the: monotony of prouic existence. In the intercourse of sym- pathetic people they have a natural place. and it is as pleasant to recognize ’by word or look the charms of our friends as it is toprofit by them. Profit we do, undoubtedly, as all that makes life fairer makes it better. and. a wholesome discernment .of good traits must add to our flatth: in human na- ture and its capabilities. Rig-id mor- alists declare that compliments are so akin to flattery that it is wrong to use praise in any way. This” is “most inhilerable. and. not to be dured.

Itis the story of the abandonment of the famous Silver Islet mine. oft Thunder Cape. on the north shore of Lake Sup- erior. In fourteen years this mine produced 3,000,000 ounces, of silver, val- ued at $3,500,000 and the islet, only 70 by 80 feet. was called the richest spot on earth. During the Operation of the mine the works were destroyed a half dozen times by the billows and ice of Lake Superior and engines worked con- tinuously pumping water out of it. A coal boat. captain had contracted to furnish the fuel for the company’s engines. He was a sturdy seaman, but he would drink liquor. and thereby hangs the tale of the ruin of Silver Islet. ltwas on oneof his trips in 1883 that he took several drinks too many. tied up his boat. while he was enjoy- ing the sensation and when he was recovering from it his boat was froz- en in the ice. ' The managers of the mine waited patiently for the captain. to come with the 1.000 toms of coal, which his boat had on board to feed its engines. The water crept higher and higher against the feeble pumps and finally. when the fuel was all gone and they had stap- ped pumping. the mine filled with wa- ter. and still the drunken captain’s load of coal was iceâ€"bound. Mr. Parsons, builder of the Turbin- ia, stated that he did not intend to go in for ship-building. He will con- tent himself with constructing the tur- bines. It was evident that we were on the brink of a new era in marine lo- comotion. for one heard on all sides of a state 01 uncertainty in shipping and marine circles. shipbuilders hesitating before commencing the construction of any more vessels of the old type till they saw whether the new type would really hold the field. Questioned as to the speed which it would be possible to attain in rotary engined ships, Mr. Parsons said it was merely a question of the size of the turbine. Speeds of forty. fifty, sixty and even more miles an hour, would, he considered, not be impossible. Several hundred workmen were thrown out of employment. the vil- lage dependent on them was depOpu- lated and a scene of activity and in~ dustry was turned into a desolate group of decaying houses and rusting machinery. For thirteen years water has stood in the shafts. and the lit- tle island is likely never to recover from the effect of the lake captain's fateiul one drink too many. In the engine room of the 'l‘urbinia there are three rotary turbines. through 'which the steam passes in turn and goes through a. cycle of most complete expansion. The enormous rate at which the turbines revolve ne- cessitstes three propeller shafts, each fitted with three screws. These re- volve at some 2.200 revolutions a min- ute and it would seem that this rap- idity makes the turbine specially ap- plicable to ship propulsion though it has hitherto proved a disadvantage in has hitherto p'roxâ€"redâ€"a disadvantage the application of this new system dyflamg driving, tgqction‘, gtc. _ speed, three knots an hour, being the utmost she could reach. Now, however, she will be capable of steaming aster- ten knots an hour, a special reversing turbine having been fitted into her since the naval review.
