THE LIFE OF JACK TAR.

Tije Spanish diplomatic attache, who was undiplomatic enough to cast a slur upou American bluejaokets in general by attributing the Maine disaster to "lax disclpliue and gross carelessness," raised

a storm of protest that he
was very glad to take it all back. No, sit, with such men as Bill Anthony -before our minds we have suddenly oon-

ceived a great respect and admiration for our man-o'-war's men. It is true that we have .ignored his existence for some time, but today we are ready to prove that he is the best afloat.
As a matter of fact, the American bluejacket is noted the world over for his intelligence and physical superiority. He is the best in the business. Bnt it is not because he has been encouraged to attain excellence or because the vocation has been made a profitable or pleasant one. On the contrary, he is the best in spite of conditions rather than because of them.
Life on board an American man-of-war is not an ideal existence. It may not be any worse than life on the fighting ships of any foreign nation, but it is certainly no better. We have spent many millions in new ships and new guns, we have paid big bonuses for the addition of an extra quarter of a knot an hour on our cruisers' speed, and we have paid the highest prices for armor plate simply because we wanted, the best, but our bluejackets are paid the same old starvation wages and fed in the same niggardly manner. Sailors oomplain that the merchant service is bad enough nowadays, bnt they prefer it to the navy. The term of enlistment in the navy is three years, and at the end of that period the best men refuse to re-enlist.
An able seaman receives $24 a month, an ordinary seaman $19, a landsman $16. First class firemen receive $35 a month, a second class fireman receives $80, a carpenter $35 and a coal heaver $23.
But the sailors, who work the ship, fight the guns and have the heaviest work on their hands, receive the smallest pay. They are outclassed by men who have learned other trades. On the old wooden ships the carpenter and his assistants were important personages. So on the new iron ships th& machinists stand at the head of the list. The most important petty officer in# the navy is the chief boatswain's mate, who superintends the work of the sailors. He gets $85 a month, but the blacksmiths and boiler makers draw the regal salary of $60 a month. Then there are the captains of the tops, who were formerly forecastle autoorats. On a modern man-of-war these petty offioers are paid $30 a. month, while the painter's and carpenter's mates-get $40.
The bluejacket's day begins earlc in the morning and ends early in the evening. He does a lot of work every day, bnt it is so systematized that he is still left plenty of thne to rest, write letters qnd darn his stockings. At 6:29 a big \raiehip shows few .evidences of life. A •oKtary offieer is pawing the bridge, and below od the deck a single sailer and a tnarina sentry are to t»e seen. As the half hour is reached the officer speaks a single word tb the sailor, who promptly strikes three notes on the ship's Bell, Then Jaok wakes np. He tumbles out of hiB hammock, trioes it up against the tail and oomes shuffling up the iron
JACK AT WORK—THE BIG GTJN DRILL. Stairs to
the deok. Five minutes later
he is busy with the holystone and brush, for he begins his day by washing down the decks and making them as immaculate as a chef's carving table.
When the weather is tropical, this is not at all a disagreeable job, but on raw March mornings, just as on a hot July day,- Jack rolls up the bottoms of
'w, "'i
his trousers and paddles barefooted about the deck in the track of the hissing hose. The deck, which a few moments befor^was almost deserted, now swarms with life and activity. Two or three hundred sailors rushing about with brooms, brushes, pails and nozzles give a good deal of lif$ to the scene. They also make a good deal of noise, but through it all the officers sleep undisturbed, and for at least two hours after. They are used to that sort of thing.
After the ship has beeu tidied comes breakfast In the days of old Jack used to take his salt horse or pork and beans out of metal dishes while squatting on a tarpauliu spread on the deck. Now, however, he has such luxuries as a bare pine table and porcelain dishes. The ship's crew is dividod into messes of 20 or 25 men each, and the men who "mess together" are those who eat at the same table. There is much fellowship among messmates. Each mess elects its cook from among its members. If the cook does not suit, then another one is elected until finally the mess is satisfied. The cook reoeives a few dollars extra each month for his services.
Each mess also has its caterer who buys the extras. As Jack is a born grumbler and is never satisfied with what he has to eat he is allowed tho munificent sum of 7^ cents a day with which to provide himself with the luxuries of the season. Needless to say he does not buy terrapin or canvasback duck.
No day laborer Mves so simply or so economically as does Jack. In many cases prison fare is luxurious to his. In theory his daily food is regulated by act of congress—that is, the regular ration which is served on every American warship is the one prescribed by the navy department. Reduced to common language the American man-of-war's man gets pork and beans for breakfast, dinner and supper on Tuesday and Saturday, canned meat and duff on Monday, vegetables "and rice instead of duff on 'Wednesday, salt beef and apple dumplings on Thursday, canned meat and tomatoes on Friday and canned meat and vegetables on Sunday.
Hard taok is the invariable aooompaniment of each meal and is eaten dry, except on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, when Jaok gets two-thirds of an ounce of butter for each meal. His tea or coffee goes without milk, and for delicacies he has a little vinegar to spill over bis pork and beans, and he may ask his messmates to pass him "them molasses" to lubricate the passage of the flinty sea biscuit or to sweeten bis pasty duS.
Modify this by substituting roast meat for canned when in port and such delectables as cents a day will purchase, and yon have a pretty correct notion of what Jaok Tar actually eats.
What will most impress* the landsman about Jack's bill of fare is the lack of variety, the unending monotony of a round of pork and beans, salt beef and
MANNING TIIE FIGHTING TOP.
canned meats. There is, too, the aggravating comparison of his table with that of the officers' mess, oh which the best of everything appears.
By 8 o'clock .Tack has not only finished breakfast, but done several other chores, and is ready for, the impressive exeroises whioh occur at exactly that hour on every warship the world over. These consist of dressing ship and saluting the colors. It is pit 8 o'clock that the officers make their first appearance.
In the days of sailing ships dressing the ship included manning the' yards, whioh called foa agility and soreness of foot IX any other warship was In sight, was always a race as to which crow could execute the erohitkin qniokea$T On the new i*cn ships the most lofty points to be manned are the fighting tops, but there is still much rivalry as to whioh crew can spring into position a king (he rail in the shortest time and witfi the greatest precision.
During the forenoon come drills of various sorts. The officer of the day has charge of the drills, and he it is who indicates whether it shall be the setting up drill, the gun drill, the fire drill or any one of a dozen others. Only when the
Bhip
is at sea in stormy weather are
these dnUs omitted, and so in time the bundrecH Of sailors are able to execute the most intricate evolutions with clocklike precision. The secret of this is that eaoh man has a certain set of duties to learn, and when each one has mastered his own list tho whole crew works as one
big
machine. Some of the drills
Jack dislikes, while others he regards merely as pastimes. During the afternoon he generally has two or three hours of leisure, and this spare time often drags heavily on bis hands, but by long experience he learns how to do nothing with calm, serene satisfaction. He plays checkers, mends his clotfbes, smokes his pipe, reads books from the ship's library, practices in tbe ship's gymnasium or indulges in day earns concerning the approaching day when he will be given shore leave and makes np a startling programme as to what he will 4o with his liberty when it cornea
In fact, there a»e few allurements about the life, and perhaps that is why the navy department finds that it is only when war threatens that there are plenty of men who want to fight Unole Sam'6 battles on the sea.

BABY'S SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN
A Grateful Mother Writes this LetterTells all about Her Troubles when Baby Broke out with Scrofula Sores. "At the age of two months, my baby began to have sores break out on his right cheek. We used all the external applications that we could think or hear of, to no avail. The sores spread all over one side of his face. We consulted a physician and tried his medicine, and in a week the sore was gone. But to my surprise in two weeks more another scrofulous looking sore appeared on baby's arm. It grew worse and worse, and when he was three months* old, I began giving him Hood's Sarsaparilla. I also took Hood's Sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle was finished, the sores were well and have never returned. He is now four years'old, but he has never had any sign of those scrofulous sores since he was cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla, for which I feel very grateful. My boy owes his good health and smooth, fair skin to this great medicine." Mrs. S. S. Wboten, Farmington, Delaware. Get only Hood's.1
