UNiMAGlNATlVE BEGGARS:
Novelist Howells Says They Never Tell a
. Good Story.
The first of two chatty papers, “Tribu-
lations of a Cheerful Giver,” by W. D.
Howells, is printed in the Century for
J1me. Mr. Howells gives the following
experiences with the begging fraternity:
I must say that his" statement of his
own case is usually incoherent and some—
times seems even a little fabulous. The
poor fellows have very little imagination
or invention; they might almost as well
be realistic novelists. I find that those
who strike me for a. night’s lodging,
when they stop me in the street at night,
come as a rule from Pittsburg and are
ironworkers of some sort; the last one
said he was a puddler, “A skilled me-
chanic,” he explained—“what is called
a skilled mechanic”; and, of course, he
was only watching for some chance to
get back to Pittsburg, though there was
no chance of work, from what he told
me, after he got there. On the other
hand, I find that most of those who ask
by day for money to get a dinner are
from Philadelphia, or the rural parts of
eastern Pennsylvania, though within six
months I have extended hospitality (I
think that is the right phrase) to two
architectural draftsmen from Boston.
They were both entirely decent looking,
sober looking young men, who spoLe
like men of education, and they each
gratefully accepted a quarter from me.
I do not attempt to account for them,
for they made no attempt to account for
themselves; and I think the. effect was
more artistic so.
I am rarely approached by any pro-
fessed New Yorker, which is perhaps a.
proof of the superior industry or pros-
perity of our city; but now and then a
fellow citizen who has fallen out asks
me for money in the street, and perhaps
goes straight and sp nds it for drink.
Drink, however. is as necessary in some
forms as food itself, and a rich, generous
port wine is often prescribed for in-
valids. These men, without exception,
look like invalids, and I have no doubt
that they would prefer to buy a rich,
generous port wine if I gave them money
enough. I never do that, though I have
a means of making my alms seem greater,
to myself at least, by practicing a little
cordiality with the poor fellows. I do
not give grudgingly or silently, but I
say, if I give at all, when they ask me,
“Why, of course!” or “Yes, certainly”;
and sometimes I invite them to use their
feeble powers of invention in my behalf,
and tell'how they wish me to think they
have come to the sad pass of beggary.
This seems to flatter them. and it makes
me feel much better, which is really my
motive for doing it.
Now and then they will offer me some
apology for begging, in a tone that says,
“I know how it is myself;” and once
there was one who began by saying “I
know it’s a shame for a strong man like
me to be begging, but—” They seldom
have any devices for working me, be-
yond the simple statement of their des-
titution; though there was a. case in
which I helped a poor fellow raise a
quarter upon a postal order, which he
then kept as a pledge of my good faith.
Their main reliance seems to be lead
pencils, which they have in all inferior
varieties. I find that they will take it
kindly if you do not want any change
back when you have given them a coin
worth more than they asked for the pen-
oil, and that they will even let you oif
without taking the pencil after you have
bought it. In the end you have to use
some means to save yourself from the
accumulation of pencils, unless you are
willing to burn them for kindling wood,
and I find the simplest way is not to
take them after you have paid for
them. It is amusing how quickly you
can establish a comity with. these pencil
people; they will not only let you leave
your pencils with them, but they will
sometimes excuse you from buying if
you remind them that you have bought
Then, if they do not
remember ypu, they at least smile po-
litely, and pretend to do so.
\Vilhelmina, Queen of Holland.
The sweet girlish face which accom-
panies this paragraph might belong to
almost any little American school girl,
but it is the latest picture of Holland’s
young queen. Wilhelmina. She is a
most Winsome and loveable girl, just
past her fourteenth birthday, and is
adored by her loyal subjects. With all
her childishness she is conscious of her
coming responsibilities, and that gives
her manners a little touch of reserve
and dignity that seem almost out of

youth. She has just been over to 'Eng—
land with her mother, to visit her
aunt, the Duchess of Albany, and in the
grounds at Clermont, Where her aunt’s
fine palace stands, with her cousins, a
boy and a girl near her own age, she
has had as merry a romp as if she were
not burdened with the coming cares of

pleasant-faced child, who is both amia-

A SHIP’S KITCHEN.‘ ‘
A Place for Everything and Everything
In Its Place.
Though there be many who go
down to the sea in ships, and who con-
tinue thereon for days, there are few
who ever see or really know the kitchen
side of the boat. _ '
Though there is almost as much dif-
ference between the kitchens of the
ocean palaces and the rough sailing craft
as there is between the very rich and
the hopelessly poor, they are alike in one
thing, and that is their economy of
space. .
“A nice, large kitchen,” the delight of
New England housekeepers, is unknown
at sea, and would be unappreciated if
known. Meals for five hundred or a
thousand persons will be cooked in a
room scarcely as large as the kitchen in
a low priced flat, or the pantry in a'
country house. There are two reasons
for this: Space is, valuable, every foot
of it having its value as storage for
freight or room for passengers; then on
ship the kitchen floors are kept clean by
scrubbing them with sand. They are
about as white as the tables, and the
smaller the kitchen the easier to keep it
in order. ‘
With a small kitchen it is a prime ne-
cessity to keep everything in its place,
and one must be systematic from the
simple logic of the circumstances. It
would amaze one to see how compactly
the supplies for the large household on
board of ships can be arranged. Noth-
ing is left down on shelves or in drawers
which may be hung on hooks. Even the
platters and serving dishes are made to
hang, there being a loopehole on one end
for this very purpose.
The system of arrangement and con-
duct is faultless. It has become what
it is by a process of evolution, and there
is no break in it. To get much into lit-
tle, to do things neatly, quickly and
well, are the principles on which ships
are run, from the captain‘s place to the
humblest on board. Even Mr. Grad-
grind would find there all the system he
wanted. ,
Two things have added much to the
health and comfort of sea going folks—-
the process of canning soups, fish, meats
and vegetables and the use of refrigera-
tors.
The luxuries of the table on land ap-
pear on the tables at sea. Even'fish—
that most difficult food to serve fresh,-
appears to the very end of the voyage.
If the kitchen is small the refrigerator
is not. It. is provided, according to the
size of the ship, with an amotmt of ice,
'varying from one hundred to four hun-
dred tons and holds also the fish, meat
and poultry.
It is far away from the kitchen, be-
cause the cooks do not help themselves
to the supplies. These are given out as
needed. Both canned and fresh vegeta-
bles are carried, the form er being served
when the fresh are gone.
While manyships and steamers still
continue to lay in a supply of water,
others do not, and all carry a condenser,
which makes it possible to have the best
fresh water directly from the ocean, and
this, being distilled water, is absolutely
pure. This water serves for all purposes
except the baths. Salt water is provided
for these. When water is carried, it is
stored at the bottom of the 'ship and
pumped up.
The Movement for Christian Union.
The Grindelwald Conference issued a
circular recommending that on Whit-
sunday Christian ministers “devote at
least one sermon to calling attention to
the good work of some branch of the
Church other than their own“, especially
those branches whose many excellencies
are obscured from the observation of
their fellow Christians by the prejudice
and suspicion engendered by centuries of
strife.” The appeal is indorsed by
a special committee of the Anglican
Lambeth Conference of Bishops, includ-
ing the Archbishops of Canterbury,
Armagh and Dublin, all the English and
Scottish Presbyterian Moderators, the
chairman of the English Congregational
Union, the president of the English
Baptist Union, and such representative
American religious leaders as Dr. Lyman
Abbott, Bishop Henry W. Warren
_(Methodist), Bishop Potter (Episcopal),
and the Rev. Dr. R. S. MacArthur.
Farragut in the Rigging.
It is a. familiar but an always thrilling
story how Admiral Farragut, in carry-
ing his fleet into Mobile Bay on Aug.
5, 1864, posted himself up in the rigging
of his flagship, the Hartford, and direct?
ed the sailing and the fighting from that -
exposed elevation.
He had to sail between two formida-
ble forts—Gaines on the one and Mor-
gan on the other—over a line of hidden
pile and hidden torpedoes, and then,
when he had got over these strong and
complicated defences and was within the
bay, he had to engage a strong Confed-
erate squadron. The brilliancy and
bravery with which the enterprise was
carried through, to the complete defeat
of the Confederates can never be for-
gotten.
Evidence of an Ancient Feud.
One epitaph in Trinity Church yard
is valuable as showing the antiquity of
a still vigorous sentiment: “Here lies
the body of Mr. William Bradford,
printer, who departed this life May 23,
1752, aged 92 years. He was born in
Leicestershire, Old England. in 1660, and
came over to America in 1682 before the
city of Philadelphia was laid out.” It
would thus appear that the Gothamite
idea of the Quaker city existed‘so long
ago as the seventeenth century.
Llewellyn Woop, the old Welshman
who runs the rope ferry between the
towns of Sagawan and Deemville, R. I},
has two trained flying fish. He caught
them in 1889 off Nantucket apd keeps
them in a. small salt water pond back of
his dwelling. They will fly to him when
he stands by a big water barrel on his
back porch, and he feeds them while in
the barrel. Sometimes they will remain
there several hours, but as a. rule they
fly back to the pond (about thirty yards
distant) directly after meals.
