CASES OF. CRUELTY IN THE FORE-
CASTLE LIKE THE DARK AGES.
Redress Often Tardy—Instances Brought
to Light by the Work ofthe Seumen’s
Union— The Sailor on the High Seas at
the Diem-y of the Ship’s blaster.
That the- sailor who ships for a
cruise on any vessel places himself in
absolute bondage and in the most com-
‘ plete of servitude until the time for
which he has signed has expired is a
broad statement to make in these days
of advanced reform, but it is one that
is very generally conceded. It is in
the power of the “king” of the ship
to put him in irons, place him on short
rations, fell him to the deck with brass
knuckles, strike him with belaying
pins, capstan bars and marlin-spikes,
and hammer and pound him at will,
and his chances of redress are very
slight. It is only when absolute mur-
der has been done that the culprits are
brought to justice. When a vessel is
at sea the officers always go heavily
armed, but nowadays a sailor may not
carry even a pocket knife with a point
to it, much less the old time sheath
knife.
Probably one of the most brutal mur-
ders on the high seas occurred some
years ago, when the old ship St. Paul
sailed from this port to round Cape
Horn to San Francisco. The ship,
which was known as a “hard case,”
had a crew of as fine, able bodied men
as ever left port. When down in the
“rolling forties” one ,day, off the River
Platte, the vessel got into a kind of
cyclone called by sailors a “pump hell.”
In a moment the ship was upon her
beam ends and all hands were quickly
aloft shortening sail. There were
twenty-four men on the main yard tak-
ing in the mainsail. On the deck were
the captain, mate, second mate, boats-
wain and steward, the latter being at
the helm. Because the' men on the
yard could not work fast enough to
suit the captain, he and the others on
deck began firing, using three revol-
vers and a shotgun. Five men were
killed, four dropping into the sea, and
the other to the deck.
When the other men reached the
deck they were ordered to throw the
body of their companion overboaid,
which they did. Then the w01k Of
shortening sail was resumed. As the
vessel neared San Francisco the cap-
tain offered the men $300 apiece to say
nothing of the shooting and killing:
When port was reached one of the
men hung an old blue flannel shirt in
the rigging, and soon the harbor po-
lice had the five accused men in custo-
dy. At the trial all were found guilty
except the steward, and sentenced to
long terms Of; imprisonment, which
they are now séi‘ving in the State Pen-
itentiary of California.
Another case of brutality was on the
ship Tillie Starbuck, about four years
ago, when Arthur C. Smith, a young
man, was shipped by “sharks” at Port-
land, Ore., as, an able seaman.
Smith informed the captain that he
had never been to sea. before, but the
latter said they would “put him
through a course of sprouts” before
they got through with him. Then he
became frightened, and jumping over-
board, tried to swim to shore. The
boatswain jumped into a boat and soon
had smith back on the ship, where he
got his first taste of sea discipline,
and was locked in the forecastle until
the vessel was ready .for sea.
After sail had been set Smith was
brought up and placed'at the wheel,
although he did not know one end of
the ship from another. His ignorance
soon became apparent and he was
kicked and beaten and driven aloft to
loosen the skysails. As the ship was
rolling heavily he became frightened
after he had gotten a little way up and
he clambered back to the deck. Then
his real troubles began. The captain
started in by making him get on the
main hatch.and crow like a rooster
for an hour. When he failed to crow
to please the captain the boatswain
would remind him with a rope‘s end.
After the crowing, a sling would be
thrown over the midship capsal, and
Smith would have to heave it in three
inches forehead for one hour and then
back again fOr another hour.
When the vessel was two weeks out
Smith was put on the starving list, his
daily allowance being three hard bis-
cuits, one pint of tea and one-quarter
pound of “salt-horse.” This was be-
cause he did not know his duty. The
other seamen helped him out with food
whenever possible, but he had to sub-
sist mainly on the “slush” used to
grease the masts. “Slush” is the fat
skimmed off the water in which the
“salt horse” is boiled. When Smith
was ordered to grease the masts most
of the contents of the can went into
his mouth. On the vessel’s reaching
King’s Ferry, near Cardiff, Wales,
Smith left her, and, making his way to
Liverpool, reported his case to the
American Consul, with the result that
nothing was dOne. He shipped on an-
other vessel, and is now an A. No. 1
Seaman.
A Golden Floor.
The Bristol Observer relates the fol-
lowing story: King George II was once
invited out to dine with a wealthy and
eccentric old duke, who possessed more
money than he very well know what to
do with. Upon this occasion, wishing
to impress his majesty with the im-
mensity of his riches, he had the floor
of the dining hall paved from end to
end with sovereigns, the head being up,
Each coin was stuck in a. mixture of
lime, which soon dried, leaving the
precious “tile” securely fastened. When
the king arrived, and was shown whit
had been done in his honor, his amaze—
dilliculty he could be persuaded—to set
foot upon the golden floor. ‘
CURRENT COMMENT.
A London paper says American _im
provements in the production of stee.
rails are calculated to make English
manufacturers gasp.
A New York man who has the Klon-
dike fever is not disposed to be satis-
fied with a grub-stake merely. He
advertises in one of the papers of that
city: “Gentlemen (39) desires‘ to meet
lady. with money to go to Alaska?
matrimony.”
More English noblemen are married
to colonial than to American heir-
esses. Since 1860, seventy titled Eng-
lishmen have married American and
seventy-seven have chosen colonial
women. There are nine American and
eight colonial peeresses. When il
comes to Dukes, America is in th.
lead.
A perusal of the proceedings pf the
annual meeting of the Kentucky Dis-
tillers’ Association shows that the
members of that organization are con-
vinced that prosperity can return in
liquid form only.
Edward Everett Hale, of Boston, and
several other well-known men have or
ganized an Invalid Aid Society, the ob-
ject of which is to send consumptive:
to the high lands of New Mexico, Ari
zona and Southern Colorado. There i.
more merit in the idea than is usually
found in schemes of the kind.
Gold fields are being discovered in
various sections of the earth. Fron:
Alaska, California, Colorado, Peru, Si-
beria, and China have come almost
simultaneously reports of auriferous
exploitation. Klondyke is not the only
pebble on the beach; and the Can-
adians shouldn’t act too brash over
their newly found riches.
The Kaiser is not pleased to learn
from statistics that of the 2,300,000
Germans who have emigrated since
1871 all but 200,000 came to the United
States. German colonies are not at-
tractive to German emigrants in com~
parison with the United States. The
Emperor can not alter the fact that
this is the land of great Opportunities.
Texas can give conclusive proof of
its rapid advancement in scthl statis-
tics. It spends now $4,000,000 3
year for schools, or more than four
times as much as in 1881.
schoOl of that yeax has grown to 468
and its university, which was nOt then
in existence, has 752 students and
forty- seven professors.
Seventy-five millions of dollars will
be received by the, farmers of the
United States during this year for
wheat in excess of the amount paid to
them last year. This great re-en-force-
ment of the purchasing power of one
class of the industrial community, is of
itself sufficient to stimulate certain
trades. Accordingly a very largely in-
creased demand for farm implements
of all kinds is observable, and the
country stores are buying all manner
of goods more largely from the who-le-
salers this season than in any year
since 1892.
Dynamite cartridges continue to be
picked up by children in the streets
and then exploded accidentally. There
is the most shameful negligence in the
sale and in the use of this dangerous
explosive. Italian workmen carry it
about in their pockets. Laborers em-
ployed in blasting rocks or blowing up
stumps take it home for safe keeping
and lay it on the cupboard shelf. It is
intrusted to ignorance and careless-
ness without question.
old child picked up a cartridge on the
street in Newark, and, not knowing
what it was, childlike, put it in its
mouth to test it with its teeth. The
news paragraph simply informs us
that the child’s head was blown com-
pletely from its body. This is only one
of a score of revolting accidents that
have taken place within a month from
the unexpected turning up of this ter-
rible compound among children.
Perhaps the greatest topic of inter-
est among wheelmen at present is the
question of the chainless bicycle, and
thousands of them are anxious to know
whether their chain-driven machine
will be superseded next year by wheels
propelled by some form of gearing.
They will be interested in a report
written by an expert for the L. A. W.
Bulletin, in which the conclusion is
expressed that not many chainless bi-
cycles will be sold next year. Profes-
sor Carpenter, of Cornell, has made a
comparative test of the two systems
and it is reported that of ten different
styles of chains tested, “the poorest
showed less friction than did the
chainless bicycle.” 0n the other hand,
one of the large bicycle factories,
which is popularly credited with hav-
ing a chainless, surprise in preparation,
has thought it worth while to send out
a circular descriptive of a recent hill-
climbing contest at Catford Hill, in
England. 'On‘ly ten of the thirteen
skilled riders who started succeeded in
reaching the top, after which “H. J.
. Herbert astonished the crowd by nidlng
ment knew no bounds,vnnd it was W1:h i backward up the hill on a. chainless
machine.” This looks as if the beveled
gear was certainly coming.

Blouses to Be Very VMuch Worn—Decora-

The latest winter blouse has a
basque formed of either square tabs or
scant frill, the former being the favor-
ite model, as it adds less to the size of.
the hips. The effect of a long waist is
essential to the good style of a blouse,
and the narrow jewelled belt is another
important feature. But this is rather
expensive, and a very satisfactory belt
can be made of black satin ribbon wide
enough to wrinkle a little on a white
or colored satin lining, and fastened
with an oval cut-steel buckle.
The Russian blouse is properly a
street garment, worn over a fancy bod-
ice of silk or lace, and fastens up the
front or not, as you choose, being
sometimes turned back two inches on
either side to show a pretty colored
satin lining or velvet facing. It is dec-
orated elaborately with braid and
beaded trimmings and edged with
handsome fur, and is altogether
charming on the right woman. If you
are very slight, the blouse is cut loose,
to fall a little over the belt all the way
around, but if not, it may be plain and
close in the back, out in one piece,
loose in front, with the square tabs be-

WHAT 'IS“sochL POSITION 2" '
Himself
The Peanut Vendor Considers
Above the (‘rgau-Grinder.
People. who belong to what is called
the best society in large towns or cities
are usually quite unconscious of the
fact that society is graded just as
minutely beneath them as it is in the
plane with which they are familiar.
But, in fact, every individual in a com-
plex society, down to the beggar in
the steat or the tramp on the high-
way, has his “social position.” The
city ,missionari-es of Boston report
with some astonishment, that a great
social gap exists between the peanut-
vender on the sidewalk and the peri-
patetic organ-grinder, and that the
children of the former are forbidden
by their parents to play with the chil-
dren of the latter.~ It is indeed assert-
ed, and with considerable truth, that
mere wealth is a passport to the best
society; but this is less true in Ame-r-
lca than it is in England, and less true
in Australia than it is in America. The
reason is that in England the best
society is a. State institution, and,
therefore, is more sure of its position
and can afford to be less exclusive——
to be more hospitable, not only to
wealth, but also to intellect and orig-
inality—than is possible for the cor-
responding class in a democratic coun-
try. Moreover, even from the most
aristocratic point of view, a. good rea-
son can be given for accepting wealth
as a substitute for birth. The fact
that a man has made much money
implies as a rule, that both his mind
and his physical strength are far above
theaverage. From what better stock,
then, could the best society be re-v
cruit-ed? This, of course, is not the
motive of the rich man’s reception in
good society. It might better be de-
scribed as nature’s reason-for permit-
ting the anomaly.—Henry Charles
Merwin, in Atlantic Monthly.

THE PENSION OFFICE FLAG.
Visitors Try to Guess Its Size, but Come
Far from It.
The fact that apparent size is but a
hatter of comparison is constantly be-
-ng demonstrated to visitors to the
pension office building. In the center
3f the court of that building, directly
over the fountain, is an American flag.
[t is a- common thing when this flag is
being viewed by visitors for employes
1f the building to ask them to guess its
lize. The most common answer is that
It is about 12 by 2 feet. To a casual
observer it looks no larger. The fact
s, it is wider than most large building
lots in this city, and as long as many
)f them. The area of the stars and
stripes of which it is composed is am-
ply sufficient for the construction of a
mat cottage, with flower gardens about
't. The exact size of .the flag is 24 by
30 feet, and it is the largest example of
the stars and stripes in this city, and
t is= doubtful if a larger one exists
Lnywhere in the world. The flag was
)rought by the government a little
~Iver a year ago, and put in place on
' i‘lag day, which was made memorable
1y appropriate ceremonies, which took
dam in the pension office building,
1nd in which all the higher Officials
3f the bureau took part. It is made of
the least breeze to make it flutter.—

Fishes are very light sleepers, and
frequently assume singular positions.
- But the most remarkable thing is the

ally the pattern of their coloration is
entirely changed.

' FUNERAL BY TROLLE‘Y.
This Custom in Favor in the City of Maxi--
co for Public Obsequies.
The funeral trolley car has been
steadily making its way, and its gen-
eral adoption promises to be not long.
deferred. An improved car, made for
service in Cincinnati, is an elaborate
development of the original form. It
is solid black in color, with gold leal.
distributed thz-Oughout to relieve the
somberness of tone. It is about 2t
feet long, with a vestibule in front to
hold the casket. In general design and
size this vestibule much resembles the
box of a. hearse, placed crosswise of the
car. The opening is at the side of the
car, and the casket is shut Off from
the view of those within the car. In
the inner apartment there is room for
about twenty passengers. In the case
of a. largely attended funeral, another
ordinary car could be added, which
would hold from thirty to fifty people. ‘
and would greatly reduce the expense ..
besides obviating a great deal of the
delay incident to the use of Carriages.
To be able to hire such a car instead
of a hearse, and the number of mourn-
ing carriages ordinarily necessary, is
an immense boon to people with lim-
ited means. In Cincinnati, for in-
stance, a hearse costs $8, and five car-
riages, which would be necessary to
carry twenty people, would cost $4
" each, or $20, making $28. This item
should now be reduced by at least one-
half. While in this country the street
car would probably not be looked upon
as meeting the requirements of a
great public funeral, in the City 01
Mexico all the attendants at state ob~
sequies travel to and from the ceme~
tery in street cars, and while the fu-
neral procession is in progress all the
other traffic on the line is stopped.—

A STRANGE DISCOVERY.
The Bile of a Serpent Proves an Antidote
for Its Bite.
Another very effective agency for .,
overcoming the venom of serpents has
been discovered by Professor Thomas
R. Fraser, of the University of Edin-
burgh. The new antidote is nothing
more or less than the serpent’s own.
' bile.
Precisely how he obtained his clew
the Edinburgh savant does not say.
But he incidentally remarks that some
of the native snake doctors in Africa
have a remedy, compounded of several
substances, of which one is snake bile,
and they are accustomed to administer
it not only by introducing it into the
patient's stomach (where it is proba—
bly without effect), but also by rub-
bing it into the wound, where it' would
be absorbed into the blood. It is
probable, therefore, that this wonder-
ful provision of nature, which compels
a serpent to secrete in one pagftof its
system, a cure for the poison that it
has long been
known in some of those countries
where the information is most likely
to prove beneficial to mankind—New

INDIA SHAWLS.
The Hair for the Yarn Taken from the Un-
der Part of the Camel,
In Bokhara, where the finest and '
most expensive camel’s hair shawls
are manufactured, the camel is watch-
ed while the fine hair on the under
part of his body is growing. This is
clipped so carefully that not a fibre is
lost, and it is put by until there is
enough to spin into a yarn which is
unequaled for softness. It is then
dyed all manner of beautiful, bright
colors, and woven in strips eight in-
ches wide of shawl patterns of such
exquisite design as with all our study
of art and all our schools of design we
are not able to rival. These strips are
then sewed together so cunningly that
it is: impossible to detect where they
are joined. Russia is the principal
market to which these beautiful Bok-
haran creations are sent. From Rus-
sia they find their way all over the
world, London, Paris, Vienna, and New
York being the heaviest importers.
