12 A COAST DEFENSE VESSEL AT THE FAIR. A MONSTER VESSEL. How the Navy Will Be Represented at the World’s Fair. MADE OF BRICK AND MORTAR Gnns of Cement—To Show How a Naval Ves- sel is Managed—How Visitors Will be Re- ceived and What They Will See—How the Ship Will be Built. One of the striking features of “The World’s Columbian Exposition” will be the naval ex- hibit, part of which will be the structure itself, which to all outward appearance will represent the new coast-line battle ships now being constructed at Philadelphia and San Francisco, after the design of the bureau of construction. A Sran reporter was informed by Capt. Meade, the naval member of the government board of control, that the battle ship of 1898 will be erected on piling on the lake front in the northeast corner of Jackson Park, and being surrounded by water will have the appearance of being moored toa wharf. Itis to have all the fittings that belong to the actual ship, such os ‘turrets, torpedo tubes, torpedo nets and booms, with’ boats, anchors, chain eables, davite, awnings, deck fittings, &c., together with all appliances for working the same. Offi- cers, seamen, mechanics and marines will be detailed by the Navy Department during the exposition and the discipline and mode of life on our naval vessels will be completely shown. The detail of men will not, however, be as great asthe complement of ‘the actual ship, the object being mainly to have exper’ janitors and showmen for the valuable public property. it ted, however, to give certain Brille, yy boat, torped)e:d 1a drills, asima vessel of war.’ The structu‘e will therefore serve the double purpose of housing the naval exhibit and illustrating the manner in which the men of our navy live. The dimensions will be those of the actual battle ship: Length, 348 feet, and width amid- ships, sixty-nine feet three inches, tapering to a point at the bow and stern. From the water Tine to the top of the main deck, twelve feet, on top and in the central position of which is 8 superstructure eight feet high, witha ham- mock berthing resting on the same seven feet high. and above these will be the bridge, chart house and the boats. HOW THE MONSTER WILL BE CONSTRUCTED. Modern war ressels are built of steel and the battle ships are not exceptions to this rule. ‘The ships now building of this type will cost about 23,000,000 apiece. To properly repre- sent one of these marine monsters, therefore, ata small cost an ingenious method has been devised for the construction of the structure at Chicago. but the original design of the ac- tual battle ship is closely followed out. The structure will, ay stated before, rest on piles as a foundation. The berth deck, or main exhibit floor, will be compozed of thick planks laid upon the foundation, on top of which there is to be a substantial layer of brick concrete. The sides of the hull are to be made of brick, stepped to give contour, over which there will be a filling of gravel concrete thickly coated with cement. ‘The ends, or stem and stern, are to be “shaped” with iron plates. of the walls and over the concrete on the berth deck there will be a coating of cement, thus making the exhibition hall fire proof and free from moisture. 5 ‘The main and superstructure decks will have acrown of six inches in sixty-nine feet. The deck plank will be yellow pine six inches wi and two inches thick, the seams of which will be calked. The mcin deck beams will be steel, and iron tube pillars are to be used to further support the beams. Gutters shaped with galvanized iron are carried around the boundary of the decks, from which numerous conductors carry the water that may fall on the deck down to scuppers close to the water e. : ‘The turrets and redoubts for the eight-inch and thirteen-inch guns are to be made up of cement on metal lathing fastened to a wood framing and are to have all the ingenious ap- pliances for operating them. and weighs, with its carriage (technically termed its “mount”), 11534 tons. The trans- Portation and placing of so much weight upon a structure such as is described being imprac- ticable, the difficulty of showing what the real battle ship carries has been overcome by build- ing the gun of cement over a wooden tube to be rifled and fitted wita breech plug complete, the finish of the cement to be such as to give it the appearance of an actual gun. The cight- inch guns are to be made up in the sae man- ner as the thirteen-inch guna, with two excep- tions, which will be bona fide steel guns and mounts, but all the six-inch guns, six- pounders, one-pounders, gatlings and tor- pedo guns, with all’ their mechanism, are to be furnished by the govern- ment direct from the naval gun factories. The exterior of the entire structure wil! be painted in accordance with the navy regulations so as to give it the exact appearance of a vessel of war. Itis thought that the resemblance will be so close as to pass undetected except by a skilled expert. f FOR VISITORS. The entrance to the veseel will be from the pier at the foot of 59th street. The entrance ‘will be on the main deck, thence down com- panion or hatchways, to the berth deck, where & spacious room, the whole length and’ width of the vessel, is to be filled with the naval ex- hibits. The entrance at the pier will have a register turnstile to record the number of Visitors. The exit will be from another point of the structure. The superstructure will show the cabins, state rooms, mess rooms, galley and fittings, mess tables for crew, lock- ers, &c., also the method in which officers and enlisted men live according to the rules of the navy. It will present, it is said, a convincing of the statement that the sailors of the United States navy are the best paid, the best fed and the best treated men of any navy in the world. On the superstructure deck and bridge will be shown the manner in which the rapid-fire guns, search lights, boats, &c., are Bandied. On the berth deck will be shows the various fittings pertaining to the hull, ma- ehinery, ordnance, &c., in short, the thousand and one things that go to make up the outfit of ship of war. Each bureau will have an officer and other representatives in control of ite special exhibit, and the hydrographic jee, intelligence office and Naval Academy i be also represented. The traditional cos- oft wil tumes of the sailors of the navy from to 1848 will be shown by janitors dressed in those costumes. These nien will be spec will be shown the torpedo protection ne stretched the entire length of the vessel Steam launches and cutters will ride at the booms and all the OTHER NAVAL VESSELS. It is expected that the torpedo boat Cushing and torpedo boat No. 2 will be anchored near * the pier, in company with the Michigan, the enly man-of-war allowed on the lakes, under ‘the terms of our treaty with Great Britain.

However, there is no alternative. “Incidentally to the conversation you learn that the art works in question are copies. ‘Mademoiselle has taken a good thing perhaps and simply reproduced it as wellasshe was able with her own brushes and paints.

Heavy Cut Glass Giving Place to That of Delicate Texture—The Fleur de Lis in Deco- Fative Work—Nut and Bonbon Spoons— Dainty Embroidered Squares. ——— ‘Written for The Evening Star. OMETIMES I WONDER IF THERE 18 any woman whose wants ere all supplied, and, if s0, if she does not miss much of the pleasure of life. By wants I do not mean needs by any means, for there is « vast difference be- tween the words. While it is delightful to be able to got what one fancies and wishes for, does not something still to long for give more of interest than satiety can ever do? For- tunately, perhaps, for most of us there are still » number of things left for us to desire, and supposing those wishes attained, there will yet be something equally new and pleasing, to take their place and attract the fancy. Any woman with taste for and in household affairs must be fond of pretty glass. Cut glass is most beautiful in all ite varied and one can never have too much of it. It is prettier as a display in the dining room to col- lect it in one cabinet, or whatever place will be most suitable, but have it all together. Evena limited number of pieces are much moro effective in this way than if mixed with China or bric-a-brac. Of course the best plan of all to show off the beauties of glass is on a dinner table, under the lights that bring out all its sparkling brilliancy. Now that the very heavy thick cut glass bas been popular so long areaction in favor of the more fragile glass will probably take place. _ Indeed, lovely glass is to be seen, thin and delicate, in exquisite forms, some of it being iridescent, with rar- row gold band on the edge. Other glass has engraving like frost work over its surface, and a gold band is eet a little below the rim on the various pieces. Some of the wine glasses and finger bowls used separately make as pretty receptacles for flowers as one could find. BRILLIANT RUSSIAN GLASS. Russian glass is brilliant with color, as the American or English glass is with cutting, be- ing enameled in various shades, giving a bar- baric effect. Most of it is in shapes to be used more for ornament than on the table, and it is expensive enough to insure its being sufficiently uncommon to be interesting. Glasses for serving Russian tea are somewhat in use in this country and are thin and set in silverstandards. ‘rom France come dainty ginsses i and other colors with fleur de lis ‘in gold Never has the fleur de Tis been more used as a decorative design than at present. In jewelry, in table linen, in em- broidery, in leather, in’ silver, on leather and kid, everywhere, more or less, the emblem is seen, Iy in the triple form which, asa symbol of the Trinity, Clovis I of France ‘bore or his shield. It was from that shield that in the twelfth century it became a part of the French coat of arms and is a favorite always in & decorativo way. In some beautiful em- broidery Ihave lately seen, done in Turkey after French d this appears on various fabrics in most beaut ind intricate stitches, raised and made entirely of gold and silver thread, giving a very rich and beautiful effect. This same symbol is used on ivory-backed brushes in gold and silver, and a year or two ago card cases of delicate kid, with a corner studded with silver fleurs de lis, were what everybody was bringing home from Paris. NUT AND BON BOX 6POOXS. Another thing that was sure to be among the souvgnirs of a trip abroad last year was & nut spoon of German work, often with open- work bowl and also handle, sometimes the latter being slender and sometimes with an almost top-heavy handle. year finds $heve spoons in the shops here and also, bon bon in the same style. There go be toend in Europe nowadays that cannot be bought right in our own cities, and it takes {intelligent hunting in out-of-the-way places to find anything that is really unique. There seems to be a growing tendency to leave color out of table decorations, excepting only the green of ferns. In many’ instances blocks of ice hold ferns or palms, and with the quantity of eut glass used, the ‘lights being crystal lamps or silver candelabra with white tapers and shades, the effect is decidedly cool and refreshing. {have heard of « fountain for and cut g! water taking the place of finger bowls. This all sounds fairy-like, but is quite mechanical and each was wound’ up for the occasion. This would make a suitable accompaniment to the ice and crystal dinner table. ‘DINNER TABLE NOVELTIES. One of the minor novelties this season for dinners and luncheons is having bags of bro- caded silk filled with flowers and set about the table. Here again an explanation is required as to modus operandi. The real holders of the flowers are tin forms or vases, set inside the bags, and blossoms are chosen which will drooj ‘globes with tiny sprays of rove thing fully over the of the bag, which the | shirred with a fall raffled heading and drawn up on cords, after the usual manner of bags. ‘Among the most uneommon-looking center Pieces for dinner tables are the squares of fi white linen with border of Turkish work, done in silks or gold thread or both combined, and with border rof ilk in something ae a cro- chet ith tin; ngles caught in wit! the a Inall Sain, sone and gold and 1d colored silk and gold, these are lovely, an &, the Cy for them, is not at all high.

For the powerful light of a Rochester burner, for instance, a frame is needed that spreads from the lamp chimney at the top, 20 that plenty of air can circulate to prevent the from scorching. The newest thing in lamps is a silver one. urn shaped, with three burners, pameg Hag from this urn, and has each its own little chimney, while one large shade covers all. WALL DRAPERIES. ‘We see it predicted that in another year wall draperies will be nearly as cheap as wall papers. Hangings of a textile fabric are very attractive in some rooms, either of damask finish or of chintz, in small pretty designs. are among the inexpensive materials und can be made most effective with proper treat- ment.

Instead of going tom ahop read “Howells, Warner, Meridith, Quids and Wilde.” Ouida is best at describing “halls and stairways, bal i Dudley Warner's specialty rooms, while Howells is especi over “dining rooms and dens.” 5; Ouida’s piazzas reminds me of a pretty photo- graph I saw of one in a collection of amateur pictures. It was wide and deep and a solid side instead of balusters gave a secluded air to nook, for it was a corner angle that the picture ‘included. An awning beyond the porch roof still further increased ite shady coolness, while pillows heaped about, easy chairs, banjos, mandolins and the typical pretty flrlazily enjoying a hammock gave an idea of xurious summer lounging and idleness. This photograph was one of many which had been Put into various pretty albums of home con- struction. One of the little book-shaped covers made from the pulp gotten at the paper ills of the town whero the photographs were taken. Another was of water color paper with the pictures slipped into diagonal cuts in the paper at each corner, and tied with ribbons it was an attractive way of keeping the pictures. Some of the poses were excellent; a girlona stepladder ina grape arbor reaching up for a bunch of grapes was expeciclly good, while “shot” at a tennis player had transfixed her in a wild plunge for a ball, making an amusing cup- ture. One book has only blue prints in it, and tied with blue ribbons it makes an artistic little souvenir of one of a summer's occupations. THERE ARE SHOES AND SH OES. Comfort the First Indication of a Well-Shod Man. A man may wear a coat that is much too large ora pair of trousers that are much too short, and the only effect is the tendency coat and trousers may have to make him ridiculous. They do not affect his health. It is quite oth- green | erwise with s man's shoes. The moment they are too short, too narrow, too large or too small that moment is his comfort affected and finally the health of his foot. Comfort, saysa shrewd writer in the Boot and Shoe Weekly, is the first indication of the good fitting shoe. But it is in the idea of what constitutes a good fitting shoe that most people err, for not always is the comfortable shoe » good fitting one The man who has been wedging his feet into tight shoes would, upon itting on a loose shoe, pronounce it delic- jously comfortable. But that their feet would not escape the ravages of corns and bunions is evident Tes acasual glance at 1, example of a large shoe is to be seen. If th shoe room were as large as that seen in the illustration, the comfort would be of very short duration, for the slipping up and down at the heel would be of such a pronounced character as to cause the skin to break, and the foot be- come 80 sore as to preclude the wearing of the shoe. Were it alittle tighter, then the gentle chafing at the heel would soon cause callosities while the too free movement of the foot at and toe would produce a like result. Corns are not, as a rule, the result of pressure, but of friction, and consequently the shoe that is too large produce these little plagues incarnate by the friction. Corns or callosities that are born of tight shoes come from a different sort of friction. In this caso it is the rubbing together of the little particles of the skin. The shoe being tight, holds them firmly in ite gravp, 0016 speak, and with the movement of the foot these Particlen from which the very life bas beon ‘Squeezed, rubbing together, begin jen tht a gort of hard seed is is mite, at first no larg: pi develops into a corn of lively growth.

In this case the effort of the shoe to “break” the foot into its shape is anything but a pleas- ing one, and is an example of where the sensi- ble shoe is not the common sense. When this shoe is first put on there is more or less pain attendant upon the breaking-in process, and it is only a question of time when the toes and guter portion of this foot ism veritablo corn- Another example is quite the reverse of Fig. Syn very staigtbeoted ehve te pel on yhat tes shoemake= sometimes calls a “bowed” foot.

In this case the foot has to be “‘broken” in the opposite direction from that shown in Fig. 2, though the process is none the leas unpleassut, nor less productive of baneful results. Under such circumstances the foot feels very much as though the wearer had by mistake put the left foot into the shoe intended for the right one. Very many are of the opinion that if the shoe fits or od ‘across the instep,and has plenty of room at the toes, it is a good fitting shoe. Were the foot at all times resting flat on the ground then no particular harm might come of wearing such a shoo; but everybody, at some time or other, does more or less walking up or down hill, and, furthermore, everybody is ad- dicted to'the wearing of heels of high or low degree. Let us for amoment look at Fig.3, which clearly shows the position of the foot when in a shoe having high heels.

Howsto Manage Husbands. ‘From a symposium in the Philadelphia Times. “How to manage husbands?” said Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett, the authoress of “Little Lord Fauntleroy,” echoing the ques- tion. “You mean how to menage them to make them happy? In my judgment, no man or woman, married or single,can be made happy-by others. Others may afford us oppor- tunities of being happy, but no one can com; us to be happy whether we will or not. happiness or’ unhappiness must ever de largely upon onree ar . nd ves, let our surroundings and our companions be’ what they may. You remember Mark Tapley in Dickens’ novel of ‘Martin Chuzzlewit?” You know his great ob- Ject in life was to be ‘jolly,’ as he called it, un- der adverse circumstances, and he sought ‘di gently to place himself in’ the most depressing situation possible in order to prove that a man may be contented and happy in any condition if he only will. “In married life, as in everything else in this | 44, world, there is everything in beginning right, and the very beginning is when the young man and the young woman who are to comprise the future married couple receive their first train- ing in early childhood.
