We Should Build our Own Ships.

The Boston Fruit Company has con-
tracted with the Cramp Shipbuilding
Company for the construction of four
steel screw steamers of a capacity .of
2,500 to 2,700 tons to be used in the
‘fl’est- India trade. They will replace
foreignbuilt steamers and will be fitted
to carry both passengers and freight.
Doubtless if the Boston Fruit Company
could have made more money by con-
tinuing to do business with vessels sail-'
ing under a foreign‘flag, or if it could
have had ships built cheaper in foreign
shipyards than in our own, it would
not have made this contract with the
Cramps. All the material necessary
for the building of a steel steamship is
now made in the United States as
cl‘ieaply as elsewhere. The greater
eajciency of our labor and machinery
1,...akes the work of construction as
cheap here as elsewhere. Why should
we not build our own vessels?asked
the Philadelphia Record. Why should
we not reach out for the control of our
own ocean-carrying trade, and the re-
covery of our place among the first
maritime nations by virtue of our in-
disputable advantages. ‘3

Foot Ball.

Some of the old gentlemen and ladies
connected with our esteemed cont-empo-
raries are vigorously denouncing the
game of foot ball—that sport of heroes,
says the Chicago Times-Herald. ' Yet
foot ball increases in popularity every
day and its opponents are as powerless
against its progress in the affections of
manly youth as they would be in offer-
ing resistance to a rush on the “grid-
ironed field. ”

The reason for this is plain to every
person with young blood in his veins.
The game calls for the highest develop-
ment of manly vigor. Fleetness. of
foot, accuracy of eye, quickness of brain,
rugged good health, hard training are
indispensable in football. So is courage,
sdisenduran'ce, so ar e all qualities that
make men great in the stel ner battle of
life. ‘ It is play ed in the invigorating
autumn air.- It is the unexcelled pop-
ular spectacle of modern times.

Of course it is a hard game. We

cripples or for very young boys, or for
the weak or badly nourished. It is for
strong young men, and, under proper
restrictions, is the greatest sport to
play in or watch that Americans. ever

That Veal at Vassar.

The ordinary woman has viewed
household drudgery wrong
ight, says the Hartford Post. With
her it has become a something to be got
through with—the quicker the better
—‘—no .matter what methods are em-
ployed. This is not saying that in
many households there has not been
the height of efficiencyin methods of

excellence, but in the majority house-
hold affairs gq along in the old rut.
There is a tedium in arrangingdomes-
tic duties, but it can be greatly ameli-
orated. Sanitary and other reforms
have been introduced, new utensils in-
vented and yet work, either mental 011
physical, cannon be done away with,
not just yet.

Take the sad case ofundone or “bob”

studied and scientifically adjusted.
Apply reason to drudgery of the house,
she practically says. and at once the
woman will see in he1 mornings spent
in fussing with the cook, in her after-
noons spent in making he1 husband s
calls, in her evenings spent in putting
the children to bed, something signifi-
cantly related to the principles of po—
litical economy. it is a pleasant out-
look. More science. less poorly cooked

‘The Future of Klondike.

Gold has always been an impertant
factor of colonization. Wherever the
yellow metal is found the stream of
emigration is directed on full force,
and although many difficulties are
usually found in its path and great ob-
stacles impede the way, the persuit of
it has always conquered and overcome
them.

Perhaps the most inhospitable region
where gold has yet been found is on
the Yukon, but next spring probably
200,000 men will turn their steps toward
the barren region undeterred by tales
of cold, of lack of shelter and the priva-
tions to be endured and of whose exis-
tence they are as fully assured as of the
presence of gold itself in the. ice-bound
earth. It is reported that ships aggre-
gating 100,000 tons carrying capacity
and with accommodations for 15,000
passengers are advertised to sail from
Seattle for St. Michael’s, the mouth of
the Yukon, in April, and that over one-
half of these are engaged to their ut-
most capacity. The fare, with a ton’s
weight of stores, about $500,
and with these temptations the trans-
portation speculators are hastening to
share in the first fruits of the vast mi-

gold or silver mining is one of tempor-

fact that she was lichly endowed with
gold, but that hers is one of the richest

FEMININE CHAT.

The voracity some men display at af-
ternoon teas lead one to suppose that
meal is their substitute for luncheon.

There is nothing in the world so
hard to bear as a eoolness between
friends where explanations of the- sud-
denchange is withheld.

The dancing season is with us, and
the bicycle girl now endeavors to show
that she can use her feet gracefully
otherthan on the pedals.

Life is hard at best, but it can be
made doubly harder by unnecessary
wounds from those we love.

To "the woman who has no family

have been a very joyful occasion.

It has never been known to fail that
the day you write an important and
personal letter to a man’s office is the
very day he stays at home.

The standard of our colleges for women

That this is the thought of Vassar
too, is evident from the fact that Pro-
