Y THE VAST AMOUNT OF WORK DONS DURING* A VOX AOS. I ? The Crew anil How It Is Dlvlded? Tlio Sailing, Kng;tneeriDg and the ' Feeding Department. 1 fHE management of all the great I 1 ocean liners is practically tho i ' | sumo. On every ship thero ( C* aro threo departments?tho l sailing or deck department, tho passen- ] ger or steward's department, and the I cngiuo department. Each of them iH ( equally important in a way. Each has I a crew of its own nnder tho supervision I of u chief officer, who is responsible to the captain, the absoluto monarch ol t tho vessel when at sea. ii On the crack Paris there are eight a officers, every one of whom holds a s master's certificate, and any ono of b whom would be competent to sail the li Paris, should any accident befall the A captain. Theso men are all connected al with the sailing department, which has ai do with navigating the vessel, rc toji they are rated as mates. Then, E: Micro are three second mates, two third mates ami two fourth mates. The object in carrying all tlicso ofli- th eers is to insure each sufficient rest wl under any stress. Their work is so ar* coi ranged that they have sixteen hours 'hi out of every twenty-four for KCr other words, *h"T "f ' yiiHMpnuuii D wl. .;> HFbuli^B m |^"*?uut*Udge, never disavowed the authorslui rlclof the "Cradilook U'ttcv. U il to I stated that Mr. Tillman deniodrMjggj^H wm| l for a part of the^lc11 ^y The rules governing ocean' Bteain^^(| - 1 bo far as their crews are concerned \\t6 t ' I Very strict. They provido that the I _ I crew shall bo signed for each voyage, and they must bo brought back to the, final port of discharge. A voyage of a-i > vessel like the Paris from the other i side and back again takes about four -weeks, including her stops in port,and , her entire crew is signed twelve times a year. The crew numbers 415, oi " whom seven are women. There are twelve quartermasters on the Paris, six of whom steer the vessel while the other six keep the lookout. The six steering quarter musters have charge of the wheclliouse and keep all the siguul flags, rocket lights, and the lead aud log lines in good order. Thej i stand watch and watch threo at a time | taking turns at the tiller. At night one of tho quartermasters is stationed | in tho lower wheelhouse to see that the steering gear works all right. The Paris is fitted with a hydraulic steering gear, and instead of the usual wheel on the bridgo there is a teller which opens and shuts the valves of the hydraulic ram which moves the rudder. This ram exerts a pressure of 8000 pounds to the square inch on the rudder, which iu consequence can bo moved very quickly. In case anything should happeu to the ram, thoro are three big wheels in the lower wheel house which can bo brought into service. Tho six quartermasters who keep the lookout, stand ou tho for'sel head in clear weather, but when it is stormy they climb into the uxiiw'jt jojw* wnA :: report their signals to tho officer 011 hri.W. All of these quartermasters o~- - * are picked men. It is tho general opinion among landsmen that it is the captain who is responsible for the breaking of records that ships liko the Paris have accomplished, but such is not the case. As a matter of fact it is tho greasy looking contingent down in tho engine ' room to whom the credit really belongs. In the engine room of the Paris there are 198 men. Tho ruler of them is, of course, tho chief engineer, said he has 18 other engineers to assist him. Then there are 24 greasers, 9 water tenders, 72 firemen, 54 1 trimmers, 3 boss trimmers, and 3 t> donkeymen ; 3 cooks, 3 electricians, 3 B store-keepers, 2 hydraulic engineers, 4 2 refrigerator men?better known as a "beef staffers"?and one clerk to tho chief engineer. Of tho 18 engineers who assist tho chief 3 rank as second, 6 as third, G as i fourth and 3 as fifth engineers. All the watches in the engineer's depart1 ment aro four hours long awl there | aro no dog watches. Tho men stand | four hours and ure off eight, so that 1 they have the same watches every day. ! There is always a second engineer in ! charge of the engines, and with him I are 1 other second, 1 third, 1 fourth ; and 1 fifth engineer, who are steadily 1 on duty at tho stoke-holes. I The Paris has nine boilers arranged ' dbgronps of three separate divisions of j ! i ship. Eight stokers and six coal tend the tires under each of > nHKntafors during a watch, and eight oiling | . degrees, but they C would lau|h at you f you said so to T ono of them. And, ndeed, the venI tilation on the Paris is no perfect that I* there is always a cool breezo in the engino rooms that very much mitigate! tho great heat sent out by her bif engines. There is ono man on board of a bi( | accan liner who is in some ways biggoi i Mmn tho cantain. and this is tho stow ard, who, under the supervision of tb purser, has full charge of the entir passenger department He has work t do that is calculated to make men ol before they are fairly of middle ag< Everything that any passenger wan to do or thinks he ought to do he?asl the steward about. Then the steward has chargo of tl stock list and is supposed to know ju how the ship's provisions stand at i times. Everything that is used ea day is taken from the storeroom , his order. He has to keep a coraplai lip.? against his subordinates, and tl is not an easy task, for peevish a seasick passengers Jiko to make co plaints. Bather queer reading so Sof these complaints make, too, 11 they show that, under tho influence seasickness, most of the selfish poi of man, and woman, too, for t matter, crop out. The chief steward calls the roll his men every morning nt hulf-j live, and a^tsign-i them to duty. Fi fctUto this time on they aro scattered all r the ship, each doing his special w< to un Before 7 o'clock in the morning wvmmmJ utowards have the ship cleaned and i i i i a. i ? saloon stewards aro patting tbe finish* .. ing touches oa preparations for the 8 M o'clock breakfast. The deck steward! have tho worst of it, for they are on ^ duty from 5.30 in the morning until 11 at night, nnd the smoke-ioom steward and barkeeptw havo the same hours. Under the steward, besides his waiters, tuero arc nineteen cooks and assistants. Tho butcher shop is just off the cook's galley. It is a box-like little 1 affair, but mray day thousands of J pounds of meat are cut tip in it and prepared by the cooks. Tho five we lakers have a shop larger than many kel >f our city bakeries, which is not dri itrnnge, ns it has to turn out bread the or 1000 people erery day. jn The refrigerator room is another in- waj cresting part of the ship. Tho room cor h so cold that a heavy frost forms on 1 11 tho pipes. The meat ausl fowl jou tored there are frosen stiff and the ton; utter is as hard as a rock almost. to d adeed the room works bo well that ent, merican beef nnd butter are used bad Imost exclusively on tho big ships, ing id the whole appeaj-anco of this room was calls somewhat an old-fashioned Now evex ngland dairy. or<j( Everything that coiiicb from *1m> -jn oks is servod from two pantries.

Tlmflu are the purser, the doctor, the barber and. the fft l?rinter. The barber is a taciturn gen- bc ileman with a good, lirn wrist. The Rr printer prints the bill of fare hrul on Rti some of the vessels, as on tho Paris, for instance, also gets out a paper on ca each voyage, to which tho poaisengort Wi contribute, and for copies of which ci they pay from sixpence to a shilling.

CHS 8XBCKOUB8 OF FLORIDA BN JOT PROUD DISTINCTION. They Have Never Been "Rounded Up" in a Reservation?Brave Occupants of the Everglades. ""I Y "wild" Indians, says Kirk I?Monroe in the New York AdI y vertiser, I mean those who u have never been subjected to the taming processes of a reservation, and of tho quarter of a million aborigines still to be found in the United States the Seminoles, of Florida, alone can lay claim to that distinction. Although to those unacquainted with the situation it may appear strange that tho only Indians still roaming at will over a large part of their original territory, and leading to-day, in unrestrained liberty, the lifo of thoir fathers, should bo found in that portion of the Union first settled by white men, tho apparent annmoly is easy of explanation. Florida is the largest, and at tho same timo the most sparsely settled State east of tho Missicffl^pi. Tho 10,000 square miles of its territory, of which somo four hundred Seminoles are almost the only occupants, comprise the vast swamps of tho Everglades and tho Big Cypress. These iro unsurvoyed, almost unexplored) | vnd aro well nigh inaoccssi^^save in , lanocs by I tho gravfl naturs A JwKjpWj'*' Seminoles have been allowed to retain unmolested possession of them for so long. Then, too, these Indians are the immediate descendants of Osceola and tlioso other desperate fighters who, in defenso of their homes waged against the United States tho longest, bloodiest and most costly of its many Indian wars. The Florida Seminole has proved himself worthy of respect and consideration by his bravery as a fighter, his absoluto independence, his freedom from many of tho vices common to In- | dians, his industry and his willingness to adopt civilization if allowed to do i so gradually and through imitation. Physically he is ono of the finest existing specimens of tho North American red man?tail ? *? limlwi riT, ana clennl, ni W1"8 tho d*ctate8 of nu I immutable custom, rather than those i of comfort, tho Seminole wears on hi- i head an immense turban formed of gay ' i._ , With the exception of a neath lv ?

Tho remainder of his dress consists of a gay red and yellow, beaucioth ^v CRhco 8hirt and a breeob cloth.

V? a T'e^li y fashions commodious most excellent canoes from siS rhisky whenevor he can obtain it. His principal occupation is hunting, mt in intervals of this he builds his mts of poles and palmetto thatch, iverhauls his weapons, nets, traps or ianoo, cares for his live stock, prinlipally cattle and hogs, dears land for i field, assists at starch (coontie) making, and does not wholly disdain to work in tho fields, or to amuso hie children; for these ho exhibits a decided fondness, and he is always as indulgent to thexn as he is kind to his womon. Ho sleeps beneath a canopy of cheeso cloth, which protects him from gnat and other insects, is well fed, is rarely ill, and appears thoroughly contented with his lot, though oppressed with an over-prosent anxiety concerning tho encroachments of hie whito neighbors. The Seminolo dead are buried, together with weapons, cooking ntensils and suoh other things as thov may need in tho Seminole hunting grounds to which they have journeyed ; and above their graves uro built solid tombs ol logs. The women of this interesting tribe are of medium - height, plump, chcorfii 1 in diimnHition. and often trood look iug. Their jet black hair is banged across the forehead, and twisted into a Psyche-knot behind. Their goodnatured faces always suggest a suppressed mirth, and when thoy aro at home the forest encampments ring with their laughter, They dress in a long sleeved, calico jacket, and a full skirt so long that it conceals theiz bare feet. About their necks they wear heavy collars of blue, green and jgdntetidassbeads and across their tiius indicaxiiig uts wealth ~0T their iJiusbands. These women ore very industrious, rarely spend an idle Hfetetnent add are consequently happy. They aro good cooks and skilled in tha use of the needle. . Some of them have oven attained to the lnxnry of sewing machines, of whioh they ar? immensely proud, and the mysterie* of which they quickly comprehend. They keep them in order by the use of alligator oil, whioh is unexcelled at a lubricant for fine machinery. The Florida Beminole lives well and is never subject to those periods ol semi--starvation that arc of suoh frequent occurrence among his northers brethren. For meats he has venison, bear, coon, possum, pork, terrapin, i turtles, gophers and sometimes beef. ( His larder is well supplied witli ( chiokons, wild turkeys, quail, ducki . and many other fowl. In their season : he procures quantities of turtle eggi [ from the sea beaches, and an inex< hanstible supply of fish is to be ha-" I for the spearing. He raises frvee k potatoes, squashes, melons, beans oorn and sugar cano, and has scattere< groves of guavas, oranges, lemons eoeoanuts, pawpaws and various othe: | fruits. He exchanges plums, alligato hides, deer skfttfs and staroh for flour * coffee, sugar, tobacco and many an ' other thing of civilization, but limit ' his intercourse with the white to th necessities of trade, avoiding them * muoh as possible on all other oooi lions.

Ezra Thomas, a prospector of Shasfc County (where he is known as th< "Mountain Boy"), had an exoiting ad venture on Sunaay last in the neigh borhood of Taylor's Flat. Whil< leisurely walking along the trail witl bis piok on his shoulder his attentioe bras suddenly called to the foot thai Something was running along behind him. On turning around he saw fl deer ooming on the dead run and within a few feet of him. He stepped aside, and, as the deer reached him, he struck it on thehead with his pick, the point of which was embedded deep in the deer's forehead. The deer I dropped dead. No sooner had he dispatched the deor than his attontion was again direoted to the trail over which the deer had come, when, to his utter astonishment and alarm, he saw ? hngo California lion bounding along after tho deor. The "Mountain Boy" had barely time to step aside to give the animal the right of way and get his piok in readiness for an attaok fljften the lion came leaping to where uo was. He made a lick at the ani. mal's head with the pick, but as the lion was going at suoh velocity h? missed his mark and struck onfc of the lion's hind legs, breaking it.
