Life of tho Naval Apprentice?Staking
Steel Pens Guards Set
by Animals.
"Apprentices of the United States
Navy" || the title of on article in St.
Nicholas. Almost every boy by thi?
time knows of battleship! and cruisers,
of torpedoes and torpedo boats and of
the gallant officers and jolly Jack Tara
who man the ships. Dnt it is safe to
pay that there are few indeed who have
ever heard of the young naval appren*
ties, the work which ho has to do and
what bis chances are?for the fntiire. It
is tnongh at present to say that bo is
an enlisted boy who by means of a
great deal of drill and training develops
gradually into a most efficient and use?
ful man on board of our modern ships.
Although tho apprentice can never
hope to become a commissioned officer,
there are many positions of trust and
henor in tho service that are open to
him if he but applies himself to the
tasks assigned to him day by day and
is awake to the opportunities that are
6ure to turn up for him.
The boys at the training station truly
may l?9 said to livo in a little world of
their own, for they do not need to go
ont?ido of their own circh* to find any
of the needs of life. At certain honrs of
the day they form u well regulated
school, in which they are taught all the
elements of science, English and mathe?
matics?enough to enable them to un?
derstand thoroughly and to handle in?
telligently tho variuus fittings and
armament of a modern man-of-war.
Well informed and thoroughly prac?
tical officers are stationed there to in?
struct the apprentices in all the drills
and maneuvers used by seamen afloat
and ashore, inclndi ig infantry, light
artillery, seamanship in all its forms,
both theoretical and practical, the sev?
eral kinds of signaling used in the
service, tho handling of boats under
steam, oars and sails, and the use of
sword and gun in the arts of fencing
an<1 of bayonet exercise.
A chaplain in the navy is detailed
regularly for duty among the boys and
to look after them in any way he may
think most conducive lo their highest
moral imp/ovement. Every Sunday the
boys are assembled on deck to join in a
regular church worship, presided over
by the chaplain, and it is a most inter?
esting sight to see several hundred boys
of tender age, all in tho same blue uni?
form, joining heartily in the service.
Those with voices worthy of any culti?
vation are as? igned to tho choir, and
they enjoy this honor quite as much as
any of tho sevcrrt) privil ges that fall
to their lot. At vrtaiu other times, in
the seenings, during recreation periods,
they are permitted to assemble for any
kind of innocent amusement, and 0116
of the most popular pastimes among
thoni se mis to bs dancing.
Every spring and summer the ap?
prentices are taken aboard some of the
older vessels of the navy and are sent
abroad for a cruise, daring which, un?
der efficient oincers, tbey are taught
the full duties of seamen afloat. All the
theory of seamanship and gunnery is
then reduced to practice, and the ap?
prentices are put through the evolutions
of furling, reefing and loosing sail, of
abandoning ship and of aiming and fir?
ing the guns on board, antiquated
though they may be.
Making Steel Pens.
Briefly described, steel pens are made
as follows: First tho steel is rolled into
big sheets and then cut into strips about
three inches in width. The strips are
heated to a bright red and are then al?
lowed to cool gradually, which anneals
them.
They aro next rolled to the necessary
thinness and are cut into blank flat
pens, and the pens, while flat, are usu?
ally stamped with the brand or the
name of the manufacturer.
To shape the pens is the next process.
The rounding makes them hold the ink
and distribute it more gradually and
evenly than could be dono if they were
flat. To harden them they are heated to
a cherry red and then suddenly cooled.
This not only hardens them, but makes
them elastic. The polishing, slitting,
pointing and finishing come next, and
then they are ready for use. The little
holes in the pSBI at the end of the slits
serve to make them more elastic and to
facilitate tho flow of the ink.
It is said that more steel is now used
in the manufacture of pens than in that
of twords. It is even claimed that the
metal annually used in their manufac?
ture weighs more than all the metal
used in the manufacture of war imple?
ments. If this bs true, ranch force if
added to the time honored saying that
"the pen is mightier than the sword."
Guards Set by Animals.
It is well known that many animals
appoint one or more of their number to
act as sentinels to guard against sur?
prise while the rest are asleep or feed?
ing or at play. Among the animals
using the word in its widest sense?
that are thus prudent may be named
the following: Wasps, ants, chamois
and other antelopes, prairis dogs, wild
horses, rooks, swans, Australian cocka
toes, zebras, quails, certain monkeys,
flamingoes, New Zealand silver eyes,
ahags and other birds, marmots, inounen
and other sheep, seals, African wild
ga|tlc. huanucoSj elephants, eta

Bishop liailor, at a banquet at which
lbs bishop of Kentucky was present,
told title Btory mi the latter gentleman: |
"In one of the backwoods towns of
Kentucky/' saitl Bishop Oailor, "the 1
pastor of the Baptist church gave out
this notice before the sermon one Sun?
day morning:
"*i itm told and have been partially
convinced,' he said, 'that it Is my Chris? i
tian duty to give the C dlowlng notice?
to wit: That a man who styles himself
"bishop of Kentucky" is about to visit
this town and will hold forth in the
court bouse on Wednesday evening. I
desire to add. however, my brethren,
that, in the humble opinion of your
pastor, the place for members of this
congregation on Wednesday night will
be in this place listening to your own
pastor rather than listening to the
words of that pompous prelate at the
courthouse.'
"On the following Thursday morning
the Baptist went out upon the street
seeking for some of his congregation
who had not been at the Wednesday
evening meeting. The first one he
found was a deacon.
" 'Well, deacon,' he asked, 'were you
to the courthouse last night?
" 'Yes.' said the deacon.
" '1 trust.' said the parson, with some
Irony in his tone, 'you were edified by
the words of the pompous prelate.'
" 'Now. looky here, parson,' said the
deacon, 'that man ain't no pompous
prelate; no such thing, lie's just as
common as there Is. What do you reck?
en he did? lie preached in his shirt
sleeves!' "?Indianapolis Sentinel.
Whites Demand Separate Seats.
MontiIOMBBT, Ala., May 20.?A very
emphatic protest is being made by the
white citizens of Montgomery because
of the failure of the street railway com?
pany here to provide separate seats in
the street ears for the use of white aud
negro passcugors. Montgomery has a
large negro population and a petition to
the council is being circulated praying
that the whites and negroes bo accorded
separate seats.
Five Children liurncd to Death.
BALUOHi May 26.?Five children of
Daniel Person, a negro, were left at
home by their mother, in Franklin
county, near here, while she went visit?
ing. On her return she found only the
ashes of the house and bones of her chil?
dren. The children were from 1 to 7
years of age. It is supposed the floor
caught fire and that the children wero
too small to extinguish it.
