There was a real nice young journalist in the Party. jast young enough to know he knew © hing, except to know that everybody else knew he didn't, and he was a great favorite With the ladies. When we got back into the Lutnch from the ripraps the pilot opened the deck and drew outa buckot of ice water and | passed the glasses back to the guests. A vad vex uog alougside of the pilot, unobserved, filled one of the glasses with sex water d sent it back to the journalist.

How extensive the mineral exbibit from other countries will be it is yet too early to kuow, but the indications are that it will surpass any that bas heretofore been made. Owing to the fact that what has been pub- lished thus far relating to tho exhibit in this department has been almost exclusively cou- cerning gold, silver and the various ious stones and rare coliections of minerals, many may have injerred, perhaps, that the baser meials and minerals are to receive scant atten- tion. ‘This is far from being the case. THE EXHIBIT OF COAL at the exposition will be qualitative rather than quantitive. Not only will the different varieties of coal which the different localities produce be shown, but chemical analyses of each and the results of tests determining economic value and adaptability to various uses. The coal re- sources of the different states and sections will be shown by geological maps and draw- ings showing ‘configuration, stratification, &c., which will render apparent the extent and accessibility of the coal beds und veins, For example, it will be shown that coal meas- ures of varying thickness underlie a great por- tion of the atate of fexas—some forty or fifty countiex—and that, although the coal produc- tion of Texas bas thus far been comparatively small, the supply is practically inexhaustible, and that much’ of the coal’ is of excellent quality. AND TRON. So, too, as regards iron. The most strenuous efforts will be made to have an exhibit worthy of that great branch of industry. This coun- try is now tho first nation in the world in iron production, having recently forged ahend of Great ‘Britain, its only real competi- tor. Our production of pig iron now exceeds 10,000,000 tons annually, or nearly four times what it wad ten years ago, and the productio! of steel now aggregates nbout 5,000,000 tons Fear, a growth of nearly 300 per cent in the decnte. The development of the iron re sourcesof the vouthern states has been espe- cially great and rapid. ‘The display at the exposition will be pre- pared and collected under the fullest apprecia- tion of the magnitude and importance of the iron industry. There will be shown all the many ies of ores, with full data as to the location and extent of ‘their beds, the analysis of cach ore, and, 80 far as possible, the dif- ferent processes of treatment in the manufacture of iron and steel. STONE. Another exhibit which will be very extensive and varied will be that of building stone. Granite, lime stone, marble, sand stoneand blue stone, in ecores of varieties and scores of col- ors, willbe shown by the finest specimens procurable. Nenrly every state has quarries of native material of excellent quality. From one to half a dozen of the twenty or more. recognized varieties of granite. for example, are quarried in twenty-eight states, Massachusetts, Maine, Californis cticut being the largest producers, ie of the granite output in 1889 was $14,464,095, an_ increase of more than 9,000,000 over that of 1880. Lime stone i quarried in almost every state, Pennsylvai and Ilinois taking the lead. The value of the output in 1889 was 919,095,179. This is exclu- sive of the output of marble, « species of lime stone, the qnarrying of which in a number of the ates is an important and exten- sive industry. The exhibit of building stone will be given the importance it justly demands. “Thousands of specimens, many of them highly polished and very beau- tiinl, will be shown, and accompanying each will be the result of tests made to determine ngth, durability and other merits as con- struction material. ‘The exhibit, which will be made in the mines and mining department, t is believed, mean very much in the mat- ter of rapid development of newly discovered mines and quarries, and the attraction of eapi- tal to many which, through lack of it, have been but litte worked. an TIMING BIG STEAMSHIPS. How the Record Is Kept and the Points of Observation. From the Pittsvure Dispatch. The British government has a man stationed at Roche's Point, whois paid to record ina book the exact time these steamers pass his nal station,both inward and outward bound. Since the acute rivalry between the fleet ships of the White Star and Inman lines has sprung up this man has been even more than ordi- uarily careful in carrying out his instructions In passing Roche's Point the vessels go through achannel hardly three miles wide, and as a general thing they pass within an easy mije of the government signal station. Since the fast ships began to reckon their speod so carefully this signal officer has timed them from the moment they were exactly abenm of his station. The outward-bound ves- sels usually go past him at full speed. What becomes of them after that is of no concern to the signal man. He immediately telegraphs his record to the steamship agents in Queeustown, whence it is forwarded to the main office at Liverpool. Both the Inman and the White Star ines have a man of their own on Roche's Point to make observations and figures. Some- times they differ. Bat if by any possible chance the question of a vessel’s actual time came up ina British court of law the govern- ment signal man’s figures would stand. 1c way the official time on the other side is taken the moment the vessel 1s abeam of Sendy Hook. The line is set by the com- pass, and the telescope dces the rest. The mo- ment of crossing is almost as clearly defined as in the ease of the running hogse on the track. Passengers on the transatianti® steamers date thetime of their passage cither from Land’s End or from the time the vessel starts until she comes to anchor. ‘The steamship companies do not take this into account at all in their official records. They know the time, of course, that a-vewel leaves Liverpool and of her ar- vivalat Queenstown. Bat this is not consid- ered in the record of her sub- sidized mail boats—the White Star and Cun- ard—usunlly anchor at Queenstown, a two further inside Roche's Poiat ils at town ex for @ stra Fae Beminees to get away from the harbor. of, the N An's ‘Tomperance Union has inued «call for a convention to be held at Brooklyn, Novem! : Col.

It is founded on the history of the great struggle, and the author, Mr. Ulmer, bas taken special care to give a correct as well as a spirited portrayal of war- aft. It is in every way founded on fact. he performance throughout is a forceful ap- peal to American enthusiasm.

From the New York Sun. “Talking about barbers, now,” said an el- derly gentleman, whose clean shaven face still bore the tan of the Indian sun under which the greater part of his life had been passed, “I know that the American artist is very skillful with bis razor. and the luxury in andsurround- ing a barber's chair in any of the large cities of the United States is not equaled in any other part of the world. But, after all, the American barber has al! the uppliances of his trade. In India it is different. ‘The Hindoo who shaves you while you are in your bed in the morning carries with him little’ more than a brush, a razor and a pair of scissors. He ex- pects to find anything else that may be neces- sary in your bath room. You pay bim, as you do your other servants, by the month, ‘and he visits you every day, or every alternate day, as may be agreed upon. If he finds you sleeping he never arouses you. He just studies your oxition, and then shaves only the parts of your face that are plainly exposed to 3 and so gently and softly does he do it that unless you are a ‘very light indced you do not know that you jthered and shaved until you open your eyes and sce him sitting on the floor side the bed. Then he makes his salaam and begs you to turn over so that he can finish his work. But if youare lying upon your back no delay is necessury. He finishes the eperation and goes away without disturbing you and you awake to find yourself shaved without having seen the barber. Your face is, probably, a little clammy after it, because,’ of cource, he cannot wash it. But’as every man in India takesa cold bath the moment he arises from his bed in the mortiing, that does not greatly matter.” —_+e-—_____ Embarrassing Greetings. From the Epoch.
