I Mr. Frank T. Bullen, who was once o Bhip boy himself, makes in his book, *'The Men of the Merchants' Service." those mournful statements coneernm^ /the sea life of young Jacky: "Within the memory of middle aged men a boy on board a ship was the butt, the vicarious sacrifice to all the accumulated ill temper of the ship. Today tales are told of the treatment of boys In 'Geordie' colliers that are enough to make the flesh creep to hear. In those days it was the privilege of every man on board to ill treat the boy. and if. as very often happened, the poor little wretch died under it?well, (what of it??it was only a boy. "And the peculiar part of it all was that the brutes who did these evil deeds prided themselves that their actions were right and proper. There was only one way of training a boy? with a rope's end if it were bandy: if not, a fist or a boot would do, but he must be boaten. "One man whom I shall always remember. as smart a seamaD as ever trod a ship's deck, beat me until there was not a square Inch of my s.iallJ body unbrulsed. Scarcely a wat?& passed that I did not receive some?t0_ ken of his Interest in xuy welfare. ?0(j on two occasions be kicked me ,Vitb such violence that with all the/^jjj jn the world to obey his orders L^vag perfectly helpless.

Swindle by Pawn Ticket*. The most lucrative game which New ji'ork swindlers work on the credulous and eager New Yorkers themselves continues to be the bogus or false pawn ticket swindle. It is not unknown In Chicago, and it has so many fine points about It all of them appealing to the man who loves to make a few dollars on the side, that the rogues who work it are uever out of customers. The simplest mrtoou is iur the swindler to tell his intended victim he has in pawn a ring or gem worth $100. He claims to have pawned It for only $25. and rather than lose the jdifferencc between the real value and the amount for which be pawned it he will give the customer a rare bargain. .There is $25 due the pawnbroker, besides $5 interest, leaving an equity of $70. He will sell that equity for just half, or $35. After the victim has paid over the $35 and has redeemed the pledge he finds that the real value cf t?e article is $50 to $60 and that be is out $5 to $15. The pawnbroker gets all lie loaned, and the original owner makes an the victim overpaid.?ChicaRem in licence of a Thespian. ! At Brighton Beach 1 hit Mose Rosenstein, who was organizing a one night "Faust" company, for a job. : "What part do you wish to take?" he Inquired shortly. "I wish to take the place of Mephistopheles. of course," I answered, drawing myself up proudly, for 1 bad on a new suit of clothes and could afford to look him In the face. ' "And why do you wish to take that particular part?" he Inquired. I was amazed at bis dullness; but concealing my disgust as far as possi Die, i expiaineu inai u was uevauc*: mc devil always gets bis dues.

Her Criticism. 1 Mary is very stout, quite deaf and tbe trusted housemaid of a family in tbe East park section. Incidentall^he 'seems to be something of an artcntie. When she cleans tbe family rooms, sbe is beard to mutter and shake her bead in dusting the pictures, and sbe seems to be especially severe on a few representatives of tbe "altogether" that hang In tbe little den. One day Mary was flirting ber dustcloth about in this little room when her mistress happened in. Mary was standing gazing inteDtly at a beantiful photograph of Bouguerenu's "Cupid and Psyche." "And pbwat plctur' is that?" asked Mary In bard, cold tones. V "Ob. that Is 'Cupid and Psyche.'" gafd the lady ratber indifferently. "Moody and Sankey, Is ut? Well, I hav' heered of them felleys.

It is not generally known, but the largest hopyards in the world are in California, along the Sacramento. Russian and Feather rivers, and the very biggest bopQeld on earth is at Fleasanton. In Alameda couuty. where there are 3<>8 acres, with more than 445,000 vines under one wire. As the picking must all be done by hand and within the short season when the blossoms are at their best, an army of people has to be suddenly mustered for the harvest. The uiild climatic conditions that favor the development of the hop and the pleasant Inland valleys where It Is grown combine to make hop picking something of a summer time delight, for the work Is neither difficult nor arduous, and the pay is fair. There are but two drawbacks to hop picking. One is so called bop poisoning, whlcb Is simply a sort of prickly heat or rash sometimes produced by contact of face and arms with the nettlelike fuzz on the stalks of the hop vine. It does not affect all pickers. The other is the dark staining of the hands resulting from the resin of the blossom. It may bo removed by rubbing with the crushed green leaves of the hop.?San Francisco Chronicle. The Hntbard. Halbard is the arms carry'd by the Serjeants of foot and dragoons: the bead of the halbard ought to be a foot or 15 inches long: one end ought to be hollow to receive the staff, but the other broad, ribb'd in the middle, edg'd on both sides aud drawing to a point, like the point of a two edged sword. On que side of the head Is likewise fixed a piece in form of a half moon or star, and ou the other a broad point of four inches long, crooked a little, which Is very commodious for drawing fascines, gabions or whatever obstacle happen iD the way. The staff of the halbard is about five feet loug and a a onil l?olf iliairinfor ninrlo of nsh or other bard wood. Halbards are very useful in deter mining the ground betwixt tbe ranks, aud for dressing the ranks and files of a battalion, aud likewise for chastising the soldiers.?Geutleman's Directory, 1703.

It has often been remarked that while nothing is so uncertain as the duration of any given human life nothing Is more certain than the aggregate of years which may be assigued to a group of 100 persons or more at any particular age. The expectation of life at a given age, to use the actuarial phrase, differs considerably, as might be expected, in different countries, and Englishmen may be surprised to learn that they are not the longest living among the white races. At the age of 20 an Englishman In average health may expect to live 42 years, and any life office will__gFj^Jff5^ " a policy based on ^hjyt^babliity. The American's cancelation is for a slightly longer P?ff0d. On the other band, a j lad of 20 can count upon Ilttie <nore than 39 years and a balf. It would seem, therefore, that the restlessness attributed to the American temperament does not necessarily con. duce to the shortening of life nor the composure of the German to its prolongation. Possibly the better feeding and clothing of Americans in the lower classes of the population are the principal causes of their greater longevity. Their posltiou is. at any rate, maintained in later as well as in earlier years. The American who "has reacted 60 may look to complete 14 years more, while the Britisher's expectation is only about 13 years and 10 months and the German's as nearly as possible 12 mouths less. Both at 20 and at 60 the Frenchman's prospect is a little better than the German's aud a little worse than the Englishman's.?London Globe. Economlcnl Training of Gnnnera. The method used In the United States navy for the economical traluiug of the gunners is very Interesting. It Is a well known fact that the cost of firing one of the large guns used in the navy is very great, amounting sometimes to $1,000 or more. To save this expense a very simple method is employed. In .the case of the large guns an ordinary Remington rifle is secured in the breech of the gun and directly in the center of the bore, so that when It is fired its bullet takes the same direction as that of the regular projectile. The large gun is sighted in the usual manuer. On account of the lesser velocity of the small bullet the target Is placed close to the ship aud is made correspondingly small. The method used for the G pounder or other small guns is slightly different. as instead of the small rifle a wooden or dummy cartridge the same size as the regular cartridge is employed. Through the center of this wooden cartridge runs a rifle barrel which is loaded with a .44 caliber cartridge. This latter method has the additional advantage of giving the gun crew practice in loading as well as firing.?Washington Star. What's In a S?n>;? "Experienced patent medicine men." says a gossiper iu the New Orleans Times-Democrat, "admit the impossibility of predicting when the turning point will be reached In booming any new remedy. The amount sunk In exploiting two articles before returns come In may vary $100,000. In my opinion, the name has a good deal to do with getting a demand started. If It Is hard to remember or hard to pronounce. It !s undoubtedly a serious handicap, and. ou the contrary, a catchy, simple title, just odd enough to stick lu one's memory. Is In itself an advertisement worth thousands of dollars. I have a bouse in mind that spent a gcod sized fortune- trying to o faKliii^-nronnrn Hnn with a (jupuidi UJC a 1(11/?VA v|/M. queer trrdTah title that no two people pronounced in exactly the same way. It was a good thing and cleverly put before the public, and It failed solely. I think, because people were reluctant to ask for it for fear of making themselves ridiculous by butchering the pronunciation. That's a point about which the average customer is very sensitive." A Legal Quibble. "There is a story," the doctor said, "of a man who was sued for debt not long ago. The case went against him, and the court gave Judgment for $300. His lawyer told him be would have to pay it, as he was an unmarried man.^ He hustled out and in a few hours came hack with a wife and a plea In due form that be needed bis salary for the support of his family.

They ! the meantime bad seen the little one borne away and had followed it to the house, and. as It was kept near the open window. Its cries had apprised them of its whereabouts. They soon came to it on the roof and hovered about it. doing much talking and consulting together. Finally they alighted near the little one, and the female slipped her wing under it and seemed to urge some course of acting upon the male, who fidgeted about coming to the little one, spreading his wings over it. then Hying to a tree when the female followed him and brought bira back and again slipped a wing under the little one. Finally be seemed to understand or to get his nerve under control, and, slipping his own wing under, together they made a sort of cradle for the birdling. and. each flapping Its free rig*JU. to Y place of safety among the branches, where It was lost sight of.?Boston Christian Register. Treatment For Sprains. The prevalence of sprains and strains ewing to the indulgence In athletic exercises of all kinds moves an authority on the trea-tment of these painful accidents to say: A little commou sense treatment is often all that is needed when the strain is at ankle or wrist and without complications. It will swell very alarmingly at first and gradually develop a frightful looking bruise, but from the first it should have complete rest and n treatment of hot and cold doucbps, the hot being used at first, when the iiwelling is painful, and the cold later on, as a sort of tonic to the relaxed muscles. The hot must be very hot and the cold very cold, as the tepid water does harm rather than good. For the first day of a strain, when all the wrenched cartilages and muscles are aching, great relief is found in a poultice of egg and salt To make It. beat the white of an egg till light, but not stiff. Stir in gradually a cup and a half of salt or more if needed, to make a thick, pastelike icing. Spread Ubis on a cloth and bandage in place. Cover all with oil silk or a thick bail) towel to protect the sheets, since the i?gg leaks cut continually. After this has relieved the soreness begin with hot water fomentations and wear a light, firm bandage, except at uight A Pine Distinction. A young down town drug clerk who hud heard Ihe story of the colored woman who l ad asked for flesh colored court plaster and was given black by the observant denier stored the Incident away In his mental dust box and decided to use it at the tirst opportunity. He had not long to wait, for a few nights ago a comely colored girl stepped Into the store where he was employed. "Ah wants some cou't plaster." she said. "What colorV" Inquired the clerk, with affected nonchalance. "Flesh eu'.Iab. sab." Trembling in his shoes and keeping within easy reach of a heavy pestle, the clerk handed the woman a box of black court: plaster, and he was surprised at the time tbet the situation afforded so little humor. The. v,oman opened the box with a deliberation that was omiDOtis. but she was unruffled when she noted the color of the contents. "Ab guess jo' mus a-misunuersiuuu mab ordab.
