Ill DOCKS. fefHE LARGES T nOJIE FOR VES - <f' SELS IN THE WORLD. 5Description of the Famou s Structure* at Liverpool—Facilities for . \ Shipping Tlia t Cove r an Area of 101 1 Acres . ~TC LMOST the first sight that / \ greets the voyager entering T^yy the Port of Liverpool is the <J\ marvelous find extensive docks that line tho Mersey, and the most apathetic individual must at once be impressed -frith these wonderful and gigantic harbors of stone which throw open their gates for the reception of the commerce of tho world, and afford accommodation for the mercantile marine of every country on tho globe. tVom north to south, for nearly seven miles, the river is faced with a wall of granite laid in massive blocks, ap parently capable of resisting tho action of both sea and atmosphero for ages. The entire dock estate comprises a total area of 1611 acres—1105 on the Liverpool side and 506 on the Birken head side. The quay line at tho former place, including basins, measures 25f miles, and at the latter place nearly ten miles. For many years the control of tho docks remained in the hands of the corporation, according to the original act of Parliament, and wero managed by a committee of the Town Council. In the year 1857 an net was passed by which a board of control, now known nsthoMersey Docks and Harbor Board, was constituted. This Board (in corporated in 1858) consists of twenty- eight members, four of whom nro Gov ernment members, the others being elected by the dock ratepayers. > The number of vessels which paid dock tonnage rates to the Board, with their tonungc, for the year ending July 1, 1802, was as follows • NunilK T Of Vl-iei -iS.

The grand total of all vessels paying rates to the Board was 22,804 (tonnage, 9,968,097), being a decrease of 471 in the number of vessels aud an increase of 196,191 tons m the tonnage over the previous year. The docks themselves extend in a continuous line along tho Mersey for nearly seven miles, broken only near the centre by the approach road to tho great landing stage, BO well known to nearly all travelers arriving at or de parting from Liverpool by steamer, and which furnishes accommodation for water-borne traffic which has not been equaled in any other part of the world, and which forms such a promi nent feature in front of the sea wall that incloses the docks. Rising and falling with the tide, this mammoth landing stage iB connected with the land by seven hinged girder bridges, which may vary in inclina tion with the height of the stage, and by a floating bridge 550 feet long and thirty-five feet broad, by means of which an ensy incline for carriage traf fic is maintained at all times of tho tide. This stage, 2063 feet long and eighty feet wade, supported by 138 iron pontoons, provides a platform four acres in extent, which is U6c d by more than twenty millions of persons each year. The south end of it is devoted exclusively to the passenger ferries, while the north end is given up to for eign and coastwise traffic. The mid dle section is reserved for boats con veying freight and goods, and is so ar ranged that carts and other vehicles may bo driven on board. The original and experimental land ing stage was built in 1847 at a cost of nearly §300,000. It was then but 500 feet long and eighty feet in width. A second stage, 1002 feet long was con structed ten years later at a cost of $597,000. In 1803 arrangements were mado to unite these two stages and in crease its total length to 2063 feet. Tho work was almost completed and ready to be opened, when, through the fault of a gasfittcr, July 28, 1874, a fire broke out and destroyed tho entire structure. Tho loss fell upon tho Liv erpool Gas Company. The present structuro was completed April 8, 1876, at a cost of $2,350,000. The two landing stages for tho ac commodation of vessels and passengers on the Birkenhead side of the river are of smaller dimensions than the one just described. Tho northern, or Wallasey, Etago accommodates the larger class of steamers, and is 350 feet long and sev enty feot wide, and is connected with the shore by two bridges and platforms on iron piers. It cost §305,750. The Woodeido stage, to which tho ' ferry boats run, is 800 feet in length by eighty feet in width, and cost $773,- 500. The dock system on the Liverpool side comprises fifty docks and twenty- two branch docks, etc., having a total water area of over 362 acres, and quay space of over twenty-four miles. There are seven basins, covering more than eighteen acres, with quay space of ono and one-sixth miles. Two lloats on the Birkenhead side have a combined water area of 112 acres, but even with such an immense area they are much smaller than either the Albert or Victoria docks at London, which are seventy-four and eighty-four acres respectively, while tho Cavendish Dock ut Barrow, which is the largest in the world, has an area of 102 acres. The Liverpool landing stage divides the docks on that side of tho river into two distinct groups, all the docks of each division being connected by pas sages or entrances. Vessels have access to tho docks through entrances that gen erally consist of a double pair of gates, which are open two hours before high water, and are closed on the turn of the tide. These double gates give tho shipping in tho docks almost absolute security, and the value of having two sets of gates has been demonstrated on more than one occasion by tho serious damage dono to one set of gates by their being run into. They also have tho ad vantage of locks for tho \flats which servo tho shipping with coal, and carry goods for transshipment, etc. In some cases the entrances are ap proached through a tidal basin which shelters tho vessels' and facilitates their entry or exit. Tho largest entrances of recent build are sixty-five feet wide. There are, however, at both Liverpool and Birkenhead entrances and locks 100 feet in width, provided originally for paddle-wheel stenmers. Tho lock load ing to the Canada dock is 489 feet. As many as twenty-threo large steamships, having an aggregate burden of 34,200 tons, have been let in or out of the docks through tho Canada basin in a 6inglo tide, during two and a quarter hours before high water. The Mersey Dock Boardspares neither pains nor expense in keeping tho en tire estate in thorough order and in making such improvements as tho con ditions of trade warrant. During tho year 1892 nearly $1,000,000 was voted simply for alterations to some of the now North End docks and waterways, in order that they may bo able to meet the requirements of tho Western Ocean traffic. When the improvements are completed, the docks will accommodate vessels 700 feet in length and eighty feet beam, and will also permit thorn to enter or leavo on any tide.—New York Times. Chicago and the World's Fair Palaces. Four cities competed for tho place of host to the world, and Chicago was chosen by Congress. And tho young city will be its own proudest exhibit. So long as America was colonized ter ritory, it could have little to show in glory of its discoverer. But when, in 1776, our young Nation cut her lead ing-strings, crying to the world, \Seel I can walk alone !\ the glory of Colum bus was begun. The history of Chi cago covers hardly more than the period of our existence as a Nation. Somo humorist said, \The first white man to settle on tho site of Chicago was a black man.\ His most ingenious paradox refers to an escaped slave from San Domingo who traded thero with the Indians in 1779 ; and Oorn- wallis did not surrender until 1781— and he wouldn't have yielded then if Washington had not insisted upon it. In 1803, on the Fourth of July, o \United States sloop came to establish Fort Dearborn on the Chicago Biver. The Indians did not liko this, as wo learn from the \American Gazetteer\ for 1S04, under the entry: \[seo Chicago River, Apjwndix] \ Tho ap pendix tells how the Government of the United States, \having lately de termined to erect a fort at Chicago,\ the officer, in spito of Indian threats, declared that he was sent to build a fort, and would \proceed on with the design.\ In 1812, tho Indians killed most of tho garrison while they were trying to escape to Fort Wnyue, but a survivor, Joh n Kinzie, afterward returned and became the first real settler. Tho fort being rebuilt in 1816, a village was be gun near its walls, but the city was not incorporated until 1837—the very year Queen Victoria came to the throne. Now, fifty-six years later, Chicago has 1,400,000 inhabitants, and inviteB tho Nations to ride to the top of build ings twenty stories high that they may get an idea of tho second great city of the Western world. What can the great fair show that is better proof of American pluck, capacity and achievement? Nor need wo mention tho great fire at all, so entirely have its ravages been healed.— St. Nicholas. Ustnir Camels in Australia. Although the camel proved unsatis factory for use as a beast of burden in tho mining regions of Nevada and Arizona, the animal is rapidly coming into favor and profitable use in mining countries in other parts of tho world. It seems probable to the Mining In dustry that in South Africa the caiyl will take the place of the horse lor most uses, as tho camel is not injured by tho insects which prove fatal to tho horse and the bullocks, nor is it as- tacked by the diseases that destroy other beasts of burden. Tho Germans nro already making great use of tho cnmels in Southwest Africa. They aro found to be very valuable for making long journeys into tho arid interior regions of tho country, as they are able to travel a whole week without water or food. In Australia the camel is fast taking tho jilaco of bullocks for use in tho barren interior regions. It is stated that there are already opened VL\I and in regular work in Australia five lines of camel traffic, and that on these lines over 2000 camels are in daily use. Camels are found to bo so useful that the number employed will be increased ns rapidly as possible. \With bullock teams only about ten miles a day can be made, but it is found that the camel will travel eighty- four miles in eighteen hours, carrying a load of 300 pounds. In the interior of Australia are over 1,000,000 squaro miles of almost unknown desert, and it is on the great inland plains that it is intended to utilizo tho camel trains, ns by their use the various oases of civ ilization may be more directly con nected than by the old bullock routes. On the arid plains and among the mud fiats and brackish lakes the camel finds plenty of coarse grass and thorny shrubs on which to subsist. It is claimed that work can bo found in Australia for 1,000,000 camels. The Sailors' \Sea Baskot.\ Thero are scores upon scores of dif ferent forms of marino animal life that come within the category assigned to ' 'star fishes,\ but the most singular specimen in the whole group is the splendid Astrophyton—the \Sea Bas ket\ of the sailors. It is truly a won derful specimen of marino life, having hundreds of long and short, straight, twisted and curled tentacles; and, but for the geometric precision of tho plan upon which the star-like \body\ is fashioned, might be mistaken for a miniature, circular specimen of tho oc topus. The center of tho creature, the \hub\ from which the five stout arms radiate, is the body, head aud \think ing machine\ of our curious Astrophy ton. The whole, not including the labyriuthino tentaclcB, which branch to all tho points and intermediate points of the compass, looks for all tho world like an animated Fourth of July firo .wheel. Tho five main arms aro divided into three each within a short space from tho astro's body, and these threo are almost immediately subdivided into innumerablo other arms and tentacles, the whole forming a net by means of which it captures its prey and holds its victims until the life has been sucked out of them.— New York Commercial Advertiser. 1 AMERICAN WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE FLAG. At first glance it seems to bo an American flag. Tho stripes are all thero and so is tho bluo background. But tho forty-four stars aro wanting, and in their place is inscribed on the bluo ground tho name \Wyoming\ and beneath it one largo star. It is the suffrage flag, and while thus far only one stai- recognizes completely tho political equality of women, still the association has left space on their flag for other stars as other States fall in line.—New York Journal. PROGRESSIVE WOMEN OF JAPAN. Tho Japanese aro advancing very steadily and rapidly and the condition of the women is boing greatly im proved and ameliorated. The practice of blacking tho teeth is practiced now only by the conservative, who still ad- hero to the old style. The Empress of Japan is. a very enlightened and most progressive woman, who takes a great interest in her sex. It is largely due to her efforts that high schools and colleges wero established for women, which did not exist ten years ago. There is an excellent college for women at Tokio and the grade of tho other schools has been raised from time to time.—Washington Star NURSERY GARDENING. Nursery gardening seems to bo gain ing favor as an occupation for women, either for pleasure or profit. Tho movement has also reached Sweden, where tho Norrviken nursery school has already been frequented by several young women. There are two classes —one extending over one, the other over two years, tho latter being in tended for those who intend to make nursery gardening a profession. The instruction is both theoretical and practical, and the young women have Bhown that they are not afraid of put- ling their Bhonlder to the wheel—or rather, perhaps we should say, their hand to the spado.—New York World. TWO CHINESE LADIES PRESENTED. The two most conspicuous women at Queen Victoria's last drawing-room wero, it is safe to say, Lady Sieh and Miss Sieh, wifo and daughter of the Chinese Embassador. It was their dress that mado them so, but their promi nence was not duo to the conventional elegance of their gowns. Long trains, bared smoulders elaborate head dresses were eschewed by them, and they ap peared at tho court of the English sovereign in the picturesque attire that they would have worn at a similar func tion in their own country. Miss Sieh wore a Chinese court dress in pink and blue, richly embroidered in various colors. On her head was a cap embroidered in pearls and precious stones. In addition to her gown Mins Sieh wore a shawl, an article of dress that in China is permitted only to un married women, and is then confined to state occasions. Lady Sieh, who is mourning for her father, wore a state dress in black, sumptuously embroidered in gold and colors. The breabtplate wns veiled in erepe as a sign of her bereavement. Her cap was also embroidered in gold and pearls.—San Francisco Examiner. A FAD IN FANCT WORK. A present fad that is worthy of wide and long popularity is to match tho decorations of tho china and the table- linen. For quite a period these two essentials for table furnishing have matched in general style and color ; but tho recent idea is to decorate both linen and porcelain with the same design. The fancy can bo charmingly developed for luncheons and teas; but for formal dinners with many and varied courses, the same motif in all the changes of plates would become as monotonous as the drawing-rooms of a score of years ago, that were furnished regardless of expenso, but en suite. The original Dresden style, consist ing of tiny magenta roses, purple vio lets, with pink and bluo and yellow and scarlet blossoms of unrecognizable species, powdered irregularly over the surface, producing a piquant medley of contrasting forms and colors, is capable of extended application to both china and linen. Thanks to the ' 'wash\ silks, the latter may be embroidered in this manner without danger of damage, in careful laundering. But considerable artistic knowledge is required to blend tho colors into a harmonious whole, and therefore a good model is desirable, [n almost overy collection of china there are some pieces decorated in this style, and they are always to be found in the Bhops. A variation of tho Dres den style is to uso tiny sprigs of but ono flower, as for-get-me-nots, violets, sweet peas, wild-roscs, etc,—Demorest. BENEFIT OF KEEPING ACCOUNTS. Whether a woman is poor or rich, it behooves her to acquire methodical business habits, keeping her little accounts accurately and knowing to a cent just what she does with her money, whether she has ten cents or $10 to ex pend on her own little personal wants, says tho Baltimore Herald. An allow ance is the first step toward this end, if at the same lime it is impressed upon her that every sum spent should be set down with unfailing regularity. In black and white one notes how much more easily the money can bo spent, how quickly it goes and just what fool ish little nothings have lured it from our pockets. Without sotting down each item it is ten chances to ono that you will conclude you must have lost some money when yon cannot see how that $10 bill went when you bought such a few things. The neat little figures are a genuine restraint, besides instilling a habit and system that will bo of groat value if fortuno ever smiles and a great estate comes to your hands, and still greater if eebnomy is a neces sity and tho dollar has to be forced into doing duty for two. Unless the accounts are kept accurately, and the cash made to balance every evening, you had better not attempt any book keeping at all, for slipshod methods are worse . than none, and otdj confuse everything rather than help matters. If anything is worth doing at all it is worth doing well, and there is nothing so productivo of future good as the habit of looking carefullj out for the pennies when school days are the only trials, and the allowance of fifty cents a week goes for candy and pickles. If this plan is once estab lished in childhood the girl will grow to womanhood with a clear knowledge of where her money goes and what sh/ has to show for it. JAPANESE W02TEN AT HOITE. There is a marked similarity in the daily routino of the inmates of Japanese homes, whether they be the homes ol the rich or poor, the official or trades man. The wife is always the mistress of the home, and hers is the duty of in every way possible rendering tho life of her husband happy—and to be happy herself, as far as he knows. The in struction of tho daughters of the home in the various domestic duties also de volves upon the mother. The ward robe of tho entire family is the work ol her hands, with the assistance of an aunt (obasan), maid, or her growing daughters. The latter, by tho way, are taught how to sew while yet quite little tots, and as they grow older in years and skill, arc initiated into the mysteries of art needlework. Then the dcughterB are instructed in music, a certain knowledge of tho samisen, koto, or some other musical instru ment being regarded as a requisite accomplishment in even the the xjoorei nnd middle classes, while tho daughters of the higher classes and nobility are well versed in art, music and the poetrj of the country. The other accom plishmcnts deemed desirable in women consist principally in tho artistic ar- rangemennt of flowers and the details of ceremonial tea making and drinking (cha-no-yu). The recitation or reading of histori cal poems (utai) is a favorite study, es pecially if some romance is interwover into tho story Usually, the dramatic poems (iorori) arc ceremoniously read or sung by the young maidens, whilt an elder sister or teacher will thrum 8 minor accentuated accompaniment on the samisen.—Popular Scienc Monthly. FASHION JTOTES. just now the pink tulle lamp shadei are carrying drawing rooms by storm. Pearl gray as a color is making the progress that will make it fashionable. It is English, of course, to wear £ new straw bonnet and a deep fur cape. Trained skirts in the street now adays arc the exception at home and abroad. Boas made ot smilox have been seen worn by young girls at evening enter tainments. Flat folds of material headed by mil liner's pipings are among tho pretties! of skirt trimmings. Hair-cloth linings, although verj extensively talked about in nianj circles, are less used than their advo cates would have us believe. It is neck and neck between violei and green this season as to popularity Among the novelties in straw hats are those in delicate violet shades trimmed in green. Tho closo cottage bonnet is prom inent in the millinery exhibits for the coming season. It iB universally be coming, easily managed and liked by overy body. A novelty in block siik is a corkscrew bengaline. There are also some very pretty and effective striped patterns in which a wide brocaded stripo of satin alternates with one of taffeta. Neck ribbons aro coming into style again. They ore generally in velvet and light colors—green, yellow, pink, ruby or blue—and are fastened by o jeweled stick-pin on ono side. A novelty in trimming is shirred satm ribbon set in graduated groins. There are about six widths of ribbon in six distinct bands or groups of trim ming on some of the now skirts. The silk linings of old evening toilets can be cleaned with very weak camphor and ammonia water, or gasoline, and fashioned into pretty petticoats for summer wear beneath light gowns. Among the handsomest of tho sea son's bonnets are those with gold wires, with crowns of semi-transparent crochet in black or colors. Ostrich-tips and aigrettes aro the preferred trimming. Skirts of new French dresses are from four and a half to six yards wide around the foot, but fit' closely at the top, the flare beginning below the hips, and sometimes as low as the knee. The popular short waisted Empire effect is often obtained by bands of broad velvet ribbon in two rows, with lengthwise bands of tho same ribbon running between the upper and lower rov.'s all round the waist. Street, heliotrope is very pretty in all its shades, but it is as trying to most complexions as it is pretty. A soft chamois-colored vest, with revers and cuffs of the same, striped with helio trope gimp, are an excellent relief for an unpatterned heliotrope gown. There was a suggestion earlier m the season that skirts wero to be gathered about the waist, out the skirts of the handsomest recently imported costumes aro smooth fitted about tho waist below which they suddenly expand and flare outward in a truly marvelous manner. The Vandyke sleeve caps which toper to a point abovo the elbow are now quite as often added to tho short open jacket ns tho squaro-shoped Eussian model. Theso caps are pleated very full at the top this season, to make them stand out prominently, thus giv-\ ing a more dressy appenrrweo to the already effective' jacket. -r~ ALBANY SADDLERY COMPANY MANUFACTURER* OF FINI HAND-MADE HAfiNEM.
