We soon learned on the Wizard how well wo had lived at home. Our sea faro of hard tack and salt junk taught us how to appreciate at their truo value the broiled steaks, hot cakes and but' tercel toast- of homo tables. The quart of very common molasses served out to us weekly noon became a luxury, and when the steward occasionally brought us "benavlins"(lihe nautical term for the broken fragments from the cabin table), we regarded itas very luxurious living, though a month previous wo should havo deemed such food fit only for the swill tub.

In about two weeks wo had settled down into tho routine of life at sea. SailorB arc apt to term theirs a "dog's life." I never did. It was a peculiar life, and in some respects an unpleasant one—liko many otheru on land. But it was not a "dog's life." There was plenty to eat, and we relished our "lobscouse," hard tack, salt junk, beans, codfish, potatoes and—-Sunday's and Thursday's— dull".

Tho hours of labor wero not exhausting, It was "watch and watch, four horn's off and four hours on." Many a New York retail grocer's clerk, who turns to at fin the morning and never 'leaves oil until 11 at night, would revel on such regulation of time and labor. So would many a sewing girl. We had plenty of time for sleep. If called up at 4 every alternate morning, and obliged to stand watch until 8 a. in., wo could •turn in" at that hour after breakfast and sleep till noon. Apart from the alternate watches tho work of "jobs" ocupied about six hours per day. True, iero was at times somo heavy work, ut, it was only occasional. Sailor work is not heavy as compared with tho iucessunt fagging, wearing, never ending character of somo occupations on shore. Bkill, agility and quickness are in greater demand than mere bruto strength.

Lobscouse is a preparation of hard bread, first soaked and then stewed with shredded salt leef. It looks somewhat 5 like ratious for a delicate boar when served out by tho panful. But it is very 'good. Salt. beef is wonderfully improved by streaks of fat through it. These serve tho foremast hands in place of butter. 1 know of

ETTED boys havo little patience for hunting for things.

At home two minutes is about the limit of time spent in looking for a mislaid poker, and then "ma!" "pa!" or "aunt!" is called

on to turn to and do this disagreeable work. The second mate onco ordered me to find a certain iron hook, where-, with to draw the pump boxes, and when, after a short search, I returned and -asked him whero it might be, I was horrified by the expression of astonished indignation spreading over his face, as he yelled: "Great Scott, ho expects me to help liim find it!" I saw the point and all it involved, and never so wounded an officer's dignity again. It is a sailor's, and especially a boy's, business on shipboard to find whatever he is ordered to.

better relish

than good pilot bread and sliced salt j^nk, with plenty of clean white fat. WJ shore that quart of boiling hot liquid, weetened with molasses and called tea, rould have been pitched into tho gutter.

At sea, after an afternoon's work, it was good. With similar content and resignation, not to say happiness, wo drank .n the morning the hot quart of black fluid similarly sweetened and culled coffee. It was not real coffee. I don't know what it was. I cared not to know. Of course we grumbled at it. But we drank it. It was "filling," and was far better than the cold, brackish water, impregnated thickly with iron rust, & gallon of which was served out daily. For the fresh water was kept below in an iron tank, and, as the deck leaked, a small |xrtion of tho Atlantic had somehow gained admission to it and slightly salted it. It resembled chocolate to the eye, but not to the palate*.

On tho fourth day out the Wisard was found to havo four feet of water in her hold. The ship was pumped dry in about four hours, when sho proceeded to fill up again. The captain seemed a man' of many minds for the next two or three days. First the ship was put back for New York. This eourso was altered and her bows pointed for Africa. Then the foremast hands became worried, and* going aft one morning in a body, asked Capt. 8—— wh&S he meant to do and vbero he meant to go, because they had hipped for San Francisco and they did not intend going anywhere else. Tbo answered that his own safely a&d that of the rewl wen at dear to

him as their lives were to them, and that he intended doing the best for the general good. This answer was not very satisfactory to the crew, who went grumbling back to their quarters. Ultimately it turned out that we were to take the leak with us to San Francisco.

At the rate the water was running in it was judged that the bone, muscle and sinews of the crew could manage to keep it down. So we pumped all the way round Gape Horn. We pumped during our respective watches every two hours. In good weather and on an even keel it took half an hour to "suck the pumps. If the vessel was heeled to larboard or starboard it took much longer. In very rough weather we pumped all the time that could be spared from other duties. There were two pumps at the foot of the mainmast worked by levers, and these were furnished with "bell ropes" to pull on. Half the watch worked at each lever, and these were located exactly where on stormy nights the wild waves were in the habit of flinging over the bulwarks a hogshead or two of water to drench us and wash us off our feet.

The Wizard was a very "wet ship." She loved giving us moist surprises. Sometimes on a fine day she would gracefully, but suddenly, poke her nose under, and come up and out of the Atlantic or Pacific ocean* with fifteen or twenty tons of pea green sea water foam-,, ing over the t'gallant forecastle, cascading thence on the spar deck and washing everything movable slam bang up and sometimes into the cabin. This took place onco on a washday. Sailors' wash day is often regulated by the supply of water caught from the clouds. On this particular occasion the fore deck was full of old salts up to their bareckelbows in suds, vigorously discoursing ^shtub and washboard. Then the flood came, and in a moment the deck was filled with a great surge bearing on its crest all these old salts struggling among their tubs, their washboards, their soap and partly washed garments. The cabin bulkhead partly stopped some, but the door being open others were borne partly inside, and their woolen shirts were afterward found stranded on the carpeted cabin floor. One "duff day" we had gathered about our extra repast in the boys' house. The duff and New Orleans molasses had just commenced to disappear.

Then a shining, greenish, translucent cataract filled the doorway from top to bottom. It struck boys, beef, bread duff and dishes. It scattered them. It tumbled them in various heaps. It was a brief season of terror, spitting and sputtering salt water, and a scrambling for life, ns we thought. It washed under bunks and in remote corners duff, bread, beef, plates, knives, forks, cups, spoons and molasses bottles. The dinner was lost. Going on deck wo found a couple of feet of water swashing from bulwark to bulwark with every roll, bearing with it heavy blocks and everything movable which hud been loosened by the shock, to the great risk of legs and bodies. But theso wero trifles. At least wo call them trifles when they are over. I havo noticed, however, that a man may swear as hard at a jammed finger as a broken leg, and tho most efficacious means in the world to quickly develop a furious temper is to loose one's dinner when hungry, get wot through, then abused by a "Dutch mate for not stirring around quicker, and finally work all the after noon setting things to rights on an empty stomach, robbed and disappointed of its duff. This is no trifle.

Learning the ropes isn't all a boy's first lessons at sea. He must learn also tc wash and mend his own clothes. At least ho must try to learn and go through ho forms. I never could wash a flannel shirt, and how the extraneous matter called dirt, which the washing process is intended to disperse, is gotten rid of by soap and muscle at an equal average over the entire surface of tho garment is for me today ono of earth's mysteries. 1 could wash a shirt in spots when I tried to convince myself that I had finished it, I could still see whero I had washed clean and whero I had not. There is a certain system in the proper manipulation of a garment in a washtub which to mo is incomprehensible. An old sailor is usually a good washer. It's part of his trade. Those on the Wizard would reprove the boys for their slipshod work. "Such a slovenly washed shirt as that." said Conner, an old man-of-war's man, "hung in the rigging is a disgrace to the ship," He alluded to one of mine. The failure was not from auy lack of labor put on it. The trouble lay in that I didn't know where to put tho labor on.

It was particularly disagreeable at midnight as we assembled at the bell ropes to give her the last "shake up." and, more asleep than awake, pulled wearily, with monotonous clank. Sometimes at that hour, when our labors were half through, the valves would get out of order. It was then necessary to call the carpenter and have them repaired. This would keep us on deck half an hour or more, for by mutual compact each watch was obliged to "suck its own pumps." Such delays made the men very angry. Thoy stop^icd singing at their work—always a bad sign—and became silent, morose and sullen. For the first six weeks all the "shanti-songs" known on the sea had been sung. Regularly at each pumping exercise we had "Santy Anna," "Bully in the Alley," "Miranda Lee," "Storm Along, John,"and other operatic maritime gems, some of which might havo a place in our modern operas of "The Pinafore" school.

There's a good deal of rough melody when these airs are rolled out by twenty or thirty strong lungs to the accompaniment of a windlass' clank and the wild, shrill sweep of the winds in the rigging above. But the men would no longer sing. The fact was reported to the captain. He put on hJ» spectacles, walked out on the quarter deck and gazed at them mournfully and reprovingly. The mates tried to incite them to renewed melody. But the shipping articles did not compel them to ding unless they feb like it. The pumps clanked gloomily without any enlivening chorus. The captain went sadly back to his cabin and renewed his novel.

The business done by the Woman's Temperance Publication association, Chicago, in 1889, amounted to $180,000. The national organ of the Woman's Christian Temperance union, The Union Signal, has 75,000 subscribers. The increase in cash receipts this year is $89,000. A dividend of 7 per cent, has been declared for the third time to stockholders. The enterprise is conducted wholly by women.

"She Wit* Twelve Tears Old Yesterday."

A day or two ago, while Conductor Isaac Bo we was taking toll from a carload of passengers, be came to a little girl who has been a regular patron of the road for some time. Bhe handed the conductor a five cent piece, and he offered her two cents change, which she refused. "My dear young lady," said Isaac, in his kind, fatherly way, "children under 12 years of age ride for half fare, and you know we have never charged you but three cents. Take these pennies aud buy chewing gum." Instead of yielding to temptation the little lady remarked, with a proud and satisfied air: "Kind sir, I was 12 years old yesterday, and I must insist that you take the full amount to which, by the rulls of the company, you are justly entitled. Please do not annoy me further by insisting that I am a mere child." Isaac turned pale and clung to a strap for support. He said afterwards that in all his experience he never knew or heard of such a case.—Norwalk Hour.

The Bag of Luck.

Fill a paper bag with candy and tie it firmly by the top to a string hung across an open doorway. Each player is blind folded in turn, given along stick, and placed at a little distance from the bag, which he tries to hit with the stick. Three trials are permitted. If he has not then succeeded, he gives up his place to another. The game is not finished till one of the players makes a hc^e in the bag. The others have aright to all the candy thoy can get in the scramble for it that follows. Sometimes the bag is filled with little trinkets which the guests are allowed to keep, and sometimes, as a joke, a bag of ilour is substituted for the bag of candy.

One "Woman's Superstitions.

Mrs. Arthur Stannard, author of "Booties' Baby," is a tall woman of handsome presence. She is very superstitious, and always carries two little bits of gray fur inside the neck of her/Jress, which she looks upon as a talisman. 'y«'~ '£1 "I have never been without these bits of fur since I was about three years old," she said, looking at them quite affectionately. "Sometimes when I am composing and come to a standstill I take them out and pass them gently over my lips and cheeks, and you have no idea how they soothe me and promote inspiration as if by magic."

She has the same odd feeling about old bits of iron and cast off horseshoes, of which she has quite a quantity, as she picks up everything of the kind she comes across. "They always bring me luck," she said, seriously.— New York Telegram. 1

Dress and Jewelry in Bahama.

I do not believe there is a woman in the Man-o'-War or any of the outlying islands who has worn a glove or eaten candy. Yet fashion has its realm even in these secluded nooks. Dr»ss fabrics, which are mostly calico, must be resplendent with prints representing nautical articles, such as anchors, mastheads, capstans, belaying pins, pennants, crosstrees, etc. As for Jewelry there is seemingly only one recognized decoration, earrings, which are large brass pendants, made in two patterns, the first representing an anchor and the second a belaying pin.—Cor. Portland Transcript.

A. Useful Adjunct.

In a family of girls a skirt stand is as necessary as a sewing machine. Whether the sewing is done by the mother or a seamstress, it is a comfort as well as a convenience to have a portable figure at hand, as the work is facilitated, abetter effect can be had and the model spared the fatigue of standing for a fit. Iu draping a skirt everything can be done on a wire stand but putting on the belt. Being adjustable the ribs can be raised to the hip measure required, and the looping and tacking done by the sewer without leaving her chair.—Boston Record.

Smoking In Japan.

Everybody smokes in Japan. The pipes hold a little wad of fine cut tobacco as big as a pea. It is fired, and the smoker takes one long whiff, blowing the smoke in a cloud from his mouth and nose. The ladies.have pipes with longer stems than the men, and if one of them wishes to show a gentleman a special mark of favor she lights her pipe, takes half a Whiff, hands it to him and lets him finish out the whiff.—Chicago Herald.

Anna Katharine Green, author of "The Leavenworth Case," was born in Brooklyn, but has lived most of her life in New York city and vicinity. At the age of 10 she and her little playmates published a pamphlet written under her direction, so she was virtually an editress at that age. The little book was passed from one to another at "five cents a read."—New York Ledger.

A HOUSEKEEPER'S HEAVEN.

The pleasant prediction Is made that drud

gery

will be abolished from the household and tbe occnpatioi of the domestic servant |§ip will be cone.

Valnable Advice for the Present Day

Mrs. Helen E. Sterrett,in a recent number of the JFbrum, contributes an article entitled "Housekeeping in the Future." In it she tells how in a few yearselectricitv will supply light ior the home, the family cooking and washing will be done outside, and there will be so little work in the household that the occupation of the domestic servant will be gone.

But Mrs. Sterrett's article is simply prediction, and has no more than a passing interest for the ladies who live in 1890. Their social and household cares are straining their delicate, nervous system, and the result is terrible. Headaches, backaches, and womanly ills are growing alarmingly common. Many of them find that memory is failing they are unable to recall the names of friends or tell whether they have performed some of their usual household duties.

Their nerves are in such a'condition that very slight causes, or perhaps no cause at all, may irritat?them. Life grows to be a burden. There is nO need for despair, but there is great need of caution. Their nerves should be built up, life fortified, and brain restored with that remarkable preparation, Paine's Celery Compound. Instead of the depressed and languid feelings, after the Compound has been used, they will feel active, vigorous, and happy. To those who are weak and failing, and desire health and happiness instead of illness and misery, we earnestly urge that they act upon this advice.

A New Method of Treating Disease.

HOSPITAL REMEDIES.

What are they? There is a new departure In the treatment of disease. It consists in the collection of the specifics used by noted specialists of Europe and America, and bringing them within the reach of all. For instance the treatment pursued by special physicians who treat indigestion, stomach and liver troubles only, was obtained and prepared. The treatment of other physicians celebrated for curing catarih was procured, and so ou till these incomparable cures now include disease of tho lungs, kidneys, female weakness, rheumatism, and nervous debility.

This new method of -'one remedey forgone disease" must appeal to the common sense of all sufferers, many of whom have experienced the ill effects, and thoroughly realize the absurdity of the claims of patent medicines which are guaranteed to cure every ill out of a single bottle, and the use of which, as statistics prove, has ruined more stomachs than alcohol. A circular describing these new remedies is sent free on receipt of stamp to pay postage by Hospital Remedy Company, Toronto. Canada, sole proprietors.

Is Consumption Incurable. Read the following: Mr. C. H. Morris, Newark, Ark., says: "Was down with Abscess of Lungs, and friends and physicians pronounced mo an Incurable Consumptive. Began taking Dr. King's TVOW-DlSCOVery"~ror -Ooirsirmpctuui nul now on my third bottle, and able to oversee tho work on my farm, It in the finest medicine ever made."

Jesse Middle, Decatur, Ohio: "Hiid it not been for Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption I would have died from Lung Troubles. Was given up by doctors. Am now in best of health. Try it. Sample bottles free at Carl Krietenstien's Drug Store, s. w. corner 4th and Ohiostreets. 5

A Sensible Man.

Would use Kemp's Balsam for the throat and lungs. It is curing more cases of coughs, colds, asthma, bronchitis, croup and all throat and lung troubles, than any other medicine. The proprietor has authorized any druggists to give you a sample bottle Free to convince you of the merit ef this great remedy. Large Bottles 50c and fl*

Hoffman's Harmless Headache Powders brace the nerve* with no after ill eflect.

A Remarkable better.

The following letter from Mr. W. A. Thomosn, of Columbus, Wis., Is peculiarly interesting: "My wife," says ho, "has been treated for her head, stomach and nervous prostration by three doctors in New York, two in Chicago, one In Philadelphia, one in Cincinnati, aud at the large institute in Buffalo for sixteen months. They all failed. But one bottle of Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine helped her wonderfully." This should be used in all headaches, backaches, changes of life, nervous disturbances, fits, rheumatism, etc. Ask at J. fc C. Baur drugstore for a free trial bottle and Dr. Miles' new book on the Nerves and heart. (2)

Headache from La Grippe, Influenza or Colds Instantly cured by Hoffman's Harmless Headache Powders.

A Great Surprise

Is in store for all who use Kemp's Balsam for the throat and lungs, the great guaranteed remedy. Would you believe that it is sold on its merits and th?t any druggist is authorized by the proprietor of this wonderful remedy to give you a sample bottle free? It never fails to cure acute or chronic coughs. All druggist* sells Kemp's Balsam. Large bottles 60 and 91.

The Remedy for tbe Inftaenxa. A remedy recommended for patients afflicted with tbe inflnenza is Kemp's Balsam, the specific for coughs and colds, which Is especially adopted to diseases of the throat and lungs. Do not wait for the first symptoms of the disease before securing the remedy, bat get a bottle and keep It on hand for use the moment it is needed. If neglected the inflnenza has a tendency to bring on pneumonia. All druggists sell the Balsam 111 1 11 11
