To the landlubber one of the pe. culiar and ofitimes diseomforting ele ments of life on a warship during tar get practice is the necessity for nu merous bathi. After ench volley all I the men on deck must take : bath. Sometimes there are four or live baths a day. This becomes quite uonoto nous. The Japanese inaugurated this practe. A bath is taken before and after shooting to guard against pos' sible infection of open scratches and cuts fpom the flying powder. When the big guns go off the landsman on deck is thrown into consternation. A horrible. sickening wrench makes one feel as if each limb were separately grasped and pulled in various direc tions, and it is a long time until he gets his "sea legs" again. Life aboard ship is not the ordeal that rumor has characterized it. The hardtack legend is erroneous. The sailors are well fed with the best viands procurable. and their bread. far from being hardtack. is as good as that which Is served In any high class hotel or restaurant. There is a spirit of good fellowship among the men below decks. Each man has his separate duties definitely designated. and there are no petty jea!l ousle.-J. W. Aide in Leslie's. No Place For His Talents. At St. John's a man stowed away upon Harry Whitney's yacht, bound for an arctic hunting trip. He was discovered too late to return him to the little Newfoundland port, but Whitney detzrmined to make him work his passage. He wasn't success ful at this. however. The stowaway simply couldn't see any srt of work Short of personal violence he couldn't be made to button his collar. "By thunder." Whitney said one day, "re a notion to leave you here at Etah.- The stowaway seemed mourn ful. "Bee-lieve muh. Mr. Whitney." he said emphatically. -you haven't made me so welcome on board your jiggered old yacht that I w'ant to stMy. But what could I do up here?" He swept his hand around at the Eskimo buts, half roof and the rest hole in the ground. "What is your business. anyhow? 'Whitney asked curiously.

'They were intense experiences. The pathetic ones had, indeed, such an In, tensity that they couldn't be used In literature. They'd seem overdrawn. For example. one cold and dreary Thanksgiving evening as I passed a famous restaurant I saw a little urchin standing before the area. Through the area gratings the kitchen, brilliantly Illuminated. could be seen. The cook. in his white dress, bested a half dozen great brown birds. -'L, Timmy:' the urchin cried, and a second youngster turned toward him. 1'HI, Timmy. come an' eat yer-crust In the smell from this here kitch en. It makes it taste just like roast turkey.' "-Detroit Free Press. The Arab Steed. An Arab steed of pure breed would probably be outpaced in a race by an English thoroughbred, but In other re spects It outshines its western rival. It is so docile that It is treated by Its owner as one of the family, and It has an Iron constitution, for It sleeps out at night without covering or shelter. Nature protects the Arab horse with a thick. furry coat, which is never touched by brush or comb and which falls off at the approach of spring. when the body and legs. which bad been shaggy as those of a bear, again resume their graceful beauty and glis ten in the sun like polished marble.
