Tbo Vast and Varied Force of Mechanics la the Service Here Skilled Labor Finds Steady Employment With Sure Iy. Seaman Class Worst Paid. Although the seamen nnd even the. petty officers of tho United Stnten nnvy ar largely of foreign birth, there never was a time when plncts In the navy be low the rank of commixRioned officers were o attractive to nativo Americans. As tho old wooden ulnps and the old fashioned steam propelled ships give plane to modern marine inohii!es tho navy becomes more and more suited to the tastes of cnpnblo Americans. Since the Kearsnrgo laid her bones tipon Roncndor there aro left tn really active service only 10 wooden ships, though thero nro 13 others used its re ceiving ships nnd ns schoolships of one 'irt or nnother. All the sailing ships that ever wovo from place to place nro the training ships nnd schoolsiiips. The navy has long been mado up chiefly of steam propelled vessels, nnd it will bo only a fow years before tho whoio no tivo list will bo composed of iron or steel steamships. This gradual chango in tho nary has wrought a marked chango iu the per sonnel of tho petty ofilcoi'A nnd tho en listed men, as in the conditions under which thoy work. Captain Codman's mournful cry that thero ore no more sailors is as true of the navy ns of the merchant scrvioe. Tho navy still ships seamen at wnge ranging from $10 to 24 per month, lint it also ships a host of artificers, mechniiics, firemen and whatnot nt wages sometimes exceeding $70 per month. The new navy as it. grows will need an increasing number of men in those special classes. Thoi e are nearly as many new vessels building as there are wood en ships now on the active list, and ev ery new iron steam propelled monster that is added to the navy creates on in creased demand for the skilled and high paid classes of enlisted man. Already there are some scores of machinists at $70 per month, boilot makers at $00, blacksmiths at $50, plumbers at $45, water tenders, oilers, firemen and print ers at from $30 to $40 per mouth., to say nothing of coppersmiths, shipwrights and ooal passers at wages varying from $50 per month down to $33. The seaman class, the worst paid of all in its lower branches, ia very well paid in the higher ranks. The lad that enters as a third olass apprentice at $9 per month may reasonably hope to be come chief master at arms at $65 per month. The lad with a gift for mnsio may easily find himself transferred to the special olass that Includes musi cians, writers And apothecaries, and here the waplifTary from $18 to $60 per month. There la a special provision of law to enoonrags good men to tsmain long in the service. The ordinary term of en listment is three years, and by this pro vision any honorably discharged man who re-enlists within three months from the date of his discharge returns to the navy with his pay raised $1 per month. The extra dollar is added at each re -enlistment, and there may easi ly be half a dozen re-enlistments, or for that matter a dozen. It means that a good man who sticks to the service for life gets a three months' vacation every three years, followed by an increase of pay. It usually happens that the man who thus enlists and re-enlists has reached the grade of potty offloor at his third or fonrth enlistment; and after that the larger pay of his new place increases regularly $1 per month every three years, should he chooso to continue in the service. There ore other small per quisites of one kind or another that swell the earnings of the sailor that sticks to the navy, and there awaits him In old age a safe retreat ashore with old companions. It is true that mechanics in the navy reoeivo nominally amollor wages than men of their trades ashore, but they are subject to none of the uncertainties of business. The navy goes right on in times of panio, and tUuro is no docking for illness. Employment and pay are secure for the rest of a man's days, and promotion is almost within his own control. The uristooratio organization of the navy doubtless has kept many self re specting native Americans from enlist ing, but the service is vastly more democratic in practice than in theory. True, 110 enlisted man may hope to be- como a commissioned olllcer, Imt tho enlisted nmn of tried ability and known good conduct nlwnys enrns tho rcsport ninl the consideration of his superiors. Tho brntnl officer of the) deck is nlmost unknown in the United States nnvy, nnd the self respecting enlisted mntl is sel dom made to feel that any one looks down upon him. His food is wholesome, clean nnd Abundant, and tho officer of tho doc must tosto it beforo it is served to the men nt any meal. His quarters are bet ter nnd better ns the nnvy improves, nnd tho privileges of the well ordered sea man nro many nnd agreeable. Tho navy department holds out as an inducement to men that think of enlisting the pros pect of seeing foreign parts. "Yes, through a porthole, " was the old time Juck Tor's cynical comment when a re cruiting poster met his eye ashore. But tho seaman whose own conduct does not curtail his "liberty" may see foreign parts as an enlisted man in a satisfactory and Instructive fashion. There are scores of enlisted men who are thoroughly trusted ashore as tho most staid inmates of the wardroom. A man's repute in this regard is not left to mere chance, but is matter of careful record. The man who can moke np his mind to endure With patience a life of discipline and regularity finds the navy agreeablo, interesting and profitable. New York Sun. The Might For Sleep. Man, in common with most of tho animal crention, has accepted the plain suggestion of nature that the approach of night should imply n cessation of ef fort. If ho ignores this principle, his work is dono against inherited habit nnd so fnr with additional fatigue. It follows, too, thnt he must use artificial light nnd sustain its combustion nt the cost of his own atmosphere. Naturally, therefore, when he does rest, his relief is not proportioned to his weariness. As in many cases, however, sensation is not here tho most reliablo guide to judicious practice. Established custom affords a far truer indication of the method most compatible with healthy existence. The case of tho overworked and the invalid lends but a deceptive color to the argument of the daylight sleepor. In thorn excessive waste of tis sue must be made good, and sleep, al ways too scanty, is at any timo useful for this purpose. For the healthy majority, however, the old custom of early rest and early waking is certain to prove in future, as returns of longevity and common experi ence alike show that it has proved in the past, most conducive to health and active life. London Lancet Cliarlty at a Pawnshop. A man who had been to his uncle's said: "No one can claim that charity is not widely distributed in this city after seeing the contribution boxes that are hung np in conspicuous places in the smaller of the pawnbrokers' shops. The particular relative to whom I spoke of it told me that the little boxes were put np every year about the beginning of the autumn and generally were for the benefit of some Hebrew charity. "Thoy are token down just before the holidays, and he said that for the post 10 years the one in his shop had aver aged between $1S and $15, mostly in 5 and 10 cent pieces, although onoe the agent had found a $5 piece in it 'One doesn't look for much charity among persons who have to pawn their goods, ' he said, 'but I've seen the very poorest class of men and women look at the box with interest and then drop something into it'" New York Mail and Ex press. Trees rive Thousand Yean Old. The oldest as well as the most inter estlng botanical monuments now grow ing npon the earth are the baobab or sour gourd trees of Africa. This remark able tree has a short branching trunk which seldom attains a height of over 70 feet, while its diameter Is often as great as 80 or 100 feet Adonson, the naturalist who gave the genua its botan ical name, calculating from scientific data, says that the age of soma of the oldest of these trees is tittle if any short of 6, 000 years. The hollow trunks of these forest giants, which are often of a capacity sufficient to furnish room for 40 or 60 bodies, are used as tombs y the native Africans, who suspend the temaiqs of their departed friends and relatives on hooks fastened npon the in terior of such trees for that purpose.

An Incident Tlmt Cnnsrd the Oi-ncral to lie Overwhelmed With ClR-nrs, "My father," snld Colonel Onuit, "tried to stnoko whilo nt West Point, but only beennse it was ngninst the reg ulations, and then he didn't sticcinid very well nt it. Ho really got tlio lialilt from smoking light cigars nnd cigarettcii during tho Mexican war, but it wasn't a fixed habit When ho li ft tho army and lived in tho country, ho smoked it pipe not incessantly. I don't think that ho was very fond of tobacco then, and reolly there was always n popular misconception of tho amount of his smoking. But he went on ns a light smoker, n casual smoker, until tho day of the fall of Fort Donclson, Then the gunboats having been worsted some what, and Admiral Footo having been wounded, he sent ashore for my father to come and see him. Father went aboard, and the - admiral, as is custom ary, had his cigars passed My father took one nnd was smoking it when ho went ashore. There he was met by n staff officer, who told him that there was a sortie, and the right wing had been struck and smashed in. Then my father started for the scene of opera tions. He let his cigar go out naturally, but held it between his fingers. He rode hither and yon, giving orders and direc tions, still with the cigar stump in his hand. "The result of his exertions wns thnt Fort Donclson fell after he sent his mes sngo of 'unconditional surrender, ' and 'I proposo to move immediately upon your works' With the message was sent nil over the country tho uews that Grant was smoking throughout tho bat tlo when ho only had carried this stump from Footo's flagship.

" From nn Interview With Colonel Frederick D. Grant About His Father in McCluro's Magazine A llothnm Incident A scene that attracted a crowd oc curred in the Bowery very early one morning. A girl not over 20 years old, many of whose natural beauties of face could be distinguished through her tears, sat on a doorstep of a saloon. Hho was well dressed. A group stood watch ing her, nnd while some of them in quired sympathetically why she seemed so distressed a young miss wearing tho customary poke bonnet of tho Salvation Army edged her way through tho crowd, and catching sight of tho way ward girl wont up to her. The Salva tionist resting npon one knee on the stone step, threw her right arm over the shoulder of the weeping girl, aud tak ing her by the hand drew her close to her and began talking to her earnestly in a tono too low to be hoard by the by standers. The utmost quiet prevailed, although the crowd soon numbered sev eral hundred. After a littlo while tho girl was noticed to have ceased crying. She brightened up, and the blinding moisture disappeared from her eyes. A mile took the place of the drawn look on her face, and she clung closely to her comforter. She finally arose, embraced the Salvationist warmly, and thoy both started np toward Third avenue, the arm of the Salvation Army lass in twined around the waist of her appar ently reclaimed sister. Tho crowd si lently dispersed. New York Sua. English Honsee and American. On entering an Englishman's house the first thing one notices la how well his house is adapted to him. On enter ing an American's house the first thing one notices is how well he adapts him self to his house. In England the estab lishment is carried on with a prime view to the oomfort of the man. Ia America the establishment is carried on with a prime view to the oomfort of the wom an. Men are more selfish than women; consequently the English home is, as a role, more comlartable than the Ameri can home. An Englishman is continually going home; an American Is oontinnally going to business. One is forever planning and scheming to get home, and to stay home, and to enjoy the privileges of home, while the other is more apt to devote hkjvwrgk to make his business a place to fct to and in whioh to spend himself. These minor details of domes tic life pnt their impress upon larger matters of business and poll ties. Price Collier in Forum. AsVmbla. A swallow flew down and plucked a mail piece of wool from the bock of a sheep. The sheep was very indignant and donoonced the swallow in scathing terms "Why do Von make such a fuss?" asked the swallow; "You never say anything when the shepherd takes all the wool yon hove on your back. " "That's a different thing entirely, " replied the sheep. "If yon knew how to take any wool without hurting me as the shepherd does, I would not object so much," This fable is meroly Intended to ex plain why millions can be stolen with ' impunity, while the theft of a pair of boots or a loaf of bread ia punished with such severity.

Finally they gathered up tholr overcoats to go, and as they step ped toward tho desk, apparently to set tle tho bill, one of them said" to tho waiter, "Call in our cab driver and give bim a drink.

He was almost famous for his tall stature, Imposing air and portly figure, and was at once tlie tallest of the Paris beadles and the senior of them all. Provost, the beadle of the Madeleine, stood next in stature, and after him came the beadle of Notre Dame, an ex-drum major, who was engaged two years ago by Archbish op Richard. Discours was a passionate lover of bil liards and went every evening to play tt the Cafe Regence, where he nsed to measure his skill with M. Grevy before the latter was president of the republic. He constantly saw there a man taller than himself, Mr. Theodore Tilton, the American poet, who went to La Re gence to play chess and was more than a match for Grevy. The post of beadle In a Paris church Is a much envied one among the class of men who compete for It. At Notre Dame, the Madeleine and Bt. Clotilde the salary is 60, and there are perquisites at grand weddings and funerals. In smaller churches the pay Is 40. The gorgeous uniforms and sil ver headed wand are provided by the vestry. London News. Boiler Reals. The use of oil in preventing boiler scale now so prevalent is met with the objection that in using other than stand ard oil of ISO to 800 degrees fire test there is danger of the formation of what is called oil scale. This, according to chemical authority, is owing to the fact that when the higher fire test oils are Introduced they rise and float npon the top of the water, and the latter, impreg nated with sediment and mud, boils and bubbles np through the oil scum on top, and on the water becoming vapor ized it liberates the particles of mud and scale contained, which fall back npon this layer of oil upon the top of the water. After awhile the layer of oil becomes so Impregnated with mineral substances that it sinks to the bottom of the boiler, forming an incrustation, or oil scale, which is as Injurious to the boiler as is the lime or magnesium scale.
