THE SHIP’S DECKS.
.’ai'i-fontod Mariners wltli Their nrooms.
How the Holy Stones are Used.
The day's work may bo said to begin a»
»:39 in the morning with the operation of
.va >hing the decks. When the clock
underneath the break of the poop indicates
iiiat time the ship's bell is struck thrice,
:t is “three bells.” As the sound dies
away tlie boatswain utters n stentoriap
•Turn to.” and the hardy siAors prepare
for toil. They first put down their pipes;
for they have been enjoying a delightful
smoke after tl.o early cup of dubious
cotlec served out to them in their pani-
kins at 5 o'clock. Then, if they are in
warm latitudes, they divest themslves of
their shoes and stockings, turn up their
nether garments and display to the eye
of the observer a ludicrous variety of
manly calves nnd bare feet.
T wo men, perhaps, proceed to the pump
and begin to fill tho wash deck tub; three
or four others arm themselves with
brooms, and there remain one or two sail
ors io pais along buckets of water for the
boatiwaiH to dash about. There is u
peculiar art, only to be acquired ty con-
skierabie practice, in throwing a bucket
ful of water on to the deck so that it may
spread about properly. Cast from tlie
professional arms of the boatswain the
water fuUs with a familiar “smack” just
behind the barefooted mariners with their
brooms. It sweeps playfully over their
feet, and i. imediately they begin to scrub
away gs if they were determined to de-
s. . 03' the deck. So bucket after bucket is
dipped into Uic wash deck tub and passed
on to the boatswain. In some ships he
uses a hose, and then more men are able
to apply tiieuislvcs to the brooms and
scrubbers.
If a ship is nearing port nnd the captain
wishes the decks to appear particularly
white, certain crticles v ery familiar to
seafarers art- enrployed in the operation
of cleansing. These are denominated by
some nantical freak of diction “holy
stones.” From the mere name we might
imagine them to be the treasured frag
ments of some classical shrine, but in
reality they are most humble pieces of
sandstone about the size of half a brick.
Poetry abandons tho nautical mind when
the seaman uses the holy stone. Picture
to yourself half a dozen bronzed and bare
footed mariners on their hands nnd knees
were nosed iu Eng 1 and. In size, flavor
and quality tliey could scarcely be sur-
p.-is sod. It was a surprise to me that the
British climate is better than the hot
American climate for strawberry culture.
Tlie sweet potato seems to be almost un
used among the ordinary English fami
lies. 'Ihe tomato, which is almost entire
ly brought over from France, is not com
parable in quality and flavor with those
grown in America. American fall and
winter apples are very largely in favor in
Great Britain.—Henry Ward Beecher iu
Brooklyn Eagle.
He ProhaUly Was.
“Was the early man a savage?” asks a
magazine writer. That depends. IfTHe
early man arose at 3 a. m. and rushed
around like mad to reach the de;>ot only
to find that ho was too early by^iTSmt
four hours, it is safe to say that lie was
somewhat savage.
Formic Acid in Honey.
At a recsi^t meeting of the Plij'sirlogical
society of Berlin it was stated that when
the bee has tilled the cell either with pure
honey or a mixture of pollon dough and
honey, and bos completed the lid, a drop
of formic acid obtained from the [Keson
bag connected with the sting is added to
tlie honey by perforating the lid with the
•ting. Numerous experiments show that
this formic acid preserves the honey and
every other solution from fermentation.
If this be well established it will show
tVat the sting and the poison apparatus
of the bee V.as a further purpose than that
of a defensive er offensive weapon. An
other interesting fact suggests itself iu
connection with this. So far ns is knows
most of t’ae iuoeet* that havo tl.o stinging
apparatus similar to that of the bee are
collectors and stororu of honey.—Boston

So.no experiments which ere now m.ik
ing on both our elevated 3111 surface
roads wl-.Ii a view tp displacin” bon es by
electricity promise better thr u uuy of the
many attempts irmdo UTiring^ii'c last leu
years. I remember Edison telling me one
futryday at Menlo Park in J'<7‘J that he
thought theiuv-.ntors of tho world had yet
ten year i’ work to do before an electric
motor wimld be ready to do the work on
short lines of railroad. He had not the
slightest doubt of the ultimate success of
•ilich a motor, ami proved bio own, faith
iu the future by investing a largo sum o'
money iu crperimeuts with a motor of
his own upon a nu’.. '.".irk be built out at
Menlo park. Ills dogged pc..— ' ' T in
this particular direction does not see n to
have availed him much, although the
same will which enabled him to work for
three days and nigh is without sleep, go
to bed exhausted for two days and then
resume work has ended inr fortune through
the success of his light.
He said at the time: “As compared with
some of our problems in electricity, the
making of a practical nnd economic motor
is merely a matter of detail. There are
more than a hundred ingenious inventors
at work upon the problem .and not a
month jmsses but some little seep in ad
vance is made. One man finds a better
method of construction, another devises
an efficient brake, another reduces the
ec«t of the parts; one man simplifies here,
another man improves there; and looking
r.t the motor iu its imperfection of to-day
I should say that by 1890 at tlie latest we
shall see it running noiselessly and swiftly
iu every largo city, doing the work of
thousands of horses witho it noise, smoke
or dust and at leas expense.”

ja this country have done much; but,
judging by some motors sent over hen-
very recently and now being used experi
mentally ou our surface roads, the for-
ei : -fnei“ have got ahead of ua. A car now
running cn the Eighth avenue read goes
all day with the electric power stored iu
>0x03 underneath the floor. It is stopped
and starred fur more easily than is the
case with horses, and the cost of charging
and interest on the plant is said to ho less
than the cost for horses^ The same in
ventor who brines this car over says that
the running of light carriages by elec
tricity is an easy matter compared with
the running of horse ears, and that a
buggy can lie fitted up with a motor at
no groat cost, nnd can easily carry a
charge of electricity for a fifty mile run.
When the fifty w'les of electricity, so to
speak, are exbau'.cd it will be necessary
to vuu the buggy to soinuYiynamo station
for a now supply.—“H., Jr.” in Brooklyn
Eagle.
Ixtok to Totir Chimneys.
Chimneys ought to be examined fre
quently to make sure that there are no
cracks in them. It is an excellent plai.
to have the chimney so constructed that
it rr. never concealed by the wall of a
room, thus preventing a thorough exami
nation of it. A house often settles, and
this cracks the chimney, but the crack is
hidden. By and by fire makes its /ray
out, and a “m}'sterious fire” results. All
chimnej's ought to be well plastered with
good mortar outside and in when they are
built, and the w*,rk of the mason should
bp inspected thoroughly to make sure he
does a good job. The chimney should be
cleaned at least twice a year. If this is
done it will not be likely to “burn out.”
If it does get on fire throw a handful of
salt into the stove. This will deaden the
lire almost immediately. Remember this
and it may be of benefit to you.—Ameri
can Agriculturist.
Our Standing Army.
Gen. Sheridan’s report shows that w-e
have now less than 23,000 men in our
army. Gf these 2,102 are Officers, so that
we have an oiE.cer for every 11 men. The
highest number of soldiers ever in the
army was in 1863. when we had about 500
mev j than 1,000,000. In , .790 there was
less than 1,000, and in 1810, shortly before
the second war with England, loss than
10,000 men guarded the whole United
States. Ten years later 12,000 were suffi
cient for all our needs; and in 1848, at the
close of the Mexican war, we had less
than 50.000 soldiers, and only 100 or so j
more officers than we have now. In 1861 |
the army jumped quickly from 12,000 to
180,000 men. It increased right along up
to 1863, when it reached the enormous
figure above stated.—Frank G. Carpenter.

For instance:
It’s a fact that my assortment of
Men’s, Youths' and Boys’ Clothing is,
iu size and completeness, surpassed
by no oilier of these goods in tiie city,
it’s also a fact that tlivse garments are
the equal iu style, make and fit of tlie
best to be found elsewhere, while it is
at tlie same time, a fart tiiat the
Clothing I offer you is in many re
spect superior to that usually found
in a Ready-Make Stock. It is certain
ly a fact that for this Superior Cloth-
lug I ask lower prices than those asked
elsewhere for less excellent goods.
Tlie boom still keeps at this popular
Emporium of Fashion, as J lead the

always sold the best Clothing, and tlie
people know it.
My Stock is marked exceedingly
