Ho lives 1 y himself, has his own cnliins, bin own i'tcpa, Ilia own servnntR. N;ivnl ctinnrtt nnd cus tom hnvo estiililished this huhit of Isola tion for tlio mini on tho ship who hits command of all tho rent. Tho it.ikoii is nndnnhtcdly to be found in tho very fact thnt ho represents extraordinary power. Under these circnm r.oos r.ny nttempt to forget the Btiperimity of his mnk hy lr.enns of n common c: mj of mepsroni'.i for him and his anlmri'lii'itog would only remilt in embarrnHsment ou both sides. This does not mean thnt ho Liny not lio sociable, for much depends npjn tho num. But it is sufo to any flint nuy show of effusiveness among thoso who livo nhaft the niiiBtmust come from his side, if he wishes it to be general. The situa tion is a rtelionto one. In tho freer nir of the wnrdroom wo find from 10 to 20 officers living togeth er, tho number varying with tho sizo of the ship. Their ages may rungo from 25 to 60. nnd they nro of nil ranks above that of imvul cadet, and of all corps. lCn;;iinw ollleers, line olllcers, nietlical oflieers, ninrino officers, ono pay officer and one chaplain, umylill bo included in tho wardroom of a lnrgo ship. Them men live in staterooms arranged about a common space, which is known as tho "waHroom country. " This assumption of a s-jinco of piuirieliko dimensions is comparatively truthful in tho crnnipod quarters of a ship. In this "country" exists tho sociul lifo of tho wardroom. Here thoso men i4 varied callings, yot nil f tho sen' following, livo, tnovo nnd iinvo their social being. A day spent t n wnrdrnom bya land lnlibrr wonlrt reveal ninny inrerosting diffcrenceg bi-tweou naval olllcers and their brethren cu shore. To begin with, they nro more cosmopolitan Hu their speech. The men in onr wardrnoms nro guthered together from nil parts of tho union.

Ont- sirto of his nwi country ho is so great n traveler that very few civiliaiii can keep np witn tuo way ho skips in conversa tion from China to Peru or to Tasma nia. Other characteristics thnt are quickly notiooablo nro his simnlioitv. hi cheerfulness and his heartiness. The wardroom is constantly resounding with langhtor. The men iu it are heulthicr. than men who live in houses. They get tip earlier in the morning and go to bod earlier at night. Most of our wardrooms are bnstling witih officers at 7 o'clock in the morning. A glance at the breakfast table shows the senior line officer presiding, and the other officers placed near him according to tank. At the other end of the table is the man who Jius been elected by his messmates to direct the entering of tho moss. Between this early meal and tho breakfast proper, which comes at half past 11 or 13 o'clock, there is aot much. life is the wardroom, for the daily mil itary routine is full of drills and exor cises which keep most of the officers ou dock. There are drills with groat guns and with small urius, drills iu clearing ship for action, drills iu handling am munition and niauyothors all of thniu rooted iu the one idea thnt yon must preserve your own Ufe by destroying that of your enemy. As soon as au officer return's to the wardroom from oue drill aud begins a conversation or perhaps hums a song he is interrupted by the bugles on dock und must buckle ou his sword and return to anothor drill. At every cull to quurters all officers must report themselves ready for duty. The chaplain and paymaster, having much less to do with drills thuu tlio other olllcers, are usually the first to bo back in the wardroom, whore there is other work for thorn. The medical offi cer has gone forward to the sick bay to look after his patients. - When the midday breakfust comes, there is the first breuthing space for a little leisure and relaxation. Cut the drills for the day are not yet over, und at 1 o'clock the bustle it resumed inrougnout I no snip. A sunoencaiimny como for collision drill, or firo drill, or bnttalion drill. If at sea, n floating tar get may bo dropped overboard, nnd for uu hour tho ship bo shaken from stem to stern by tho discharge of gnus. From 8 to fi o'clock in the afternoon there Is generally n respite from work, and tho Wardroom begins to show signs pf be ing it home, riiime in it nre rending or wriling, others nre smoking or playing games or loafing. Still others nro iu their rooms taking tho seaman's after noon nap. Cut at 0 o'clock the drilla and exercises como ngaiu. By (I :!J0 o'clock there is a fooling that one run sit down and dine without fear of interruption. The mess ns a wholo is now gathered together, nnd the meal is generally it thoroughly enjoyable und delightful alTnir. After it is over there are cigars, games, music, or tho right to withdraw within oneself without ex citing remark. By 10 o'clock most of these, sailors are in bed, but even now tho drills may uot hoover. At midnight tho bugles may sound, nnd iu two min utes all tho ship's company be rapidly making ready for nu enemy. Kew York Post. t MAY BE THE MISSING LINK. That Sfysterlons anil ITiieteiis Organ of Man, the Vermiform Appendls. A distinguished paleontologist claims to have discovered facts serving t show thnt the vermiform appendix, that mys teriously useless organ that hnsnunnyod tho human family so much of late years, is no moro nor less tlmn tho rudi mentary remnant of the gizzard with which ho believes the monstrous pro genitors of man of the tertiary period of tho earth's existence were supplied. Somo of these gigantio creatures, lizards in form, birds iu kind, animals iu somo functions, aro believed to hnvo devel oped by tho grndnnl stages described by tliu supporters of tho thoory of evolu tion into the semblance of a linmau bo-lug- If tho bird form bo the original of tho human race, it is reasonable to beliovo that it may hnvo been supplied with a gizzard, which in tho bird of modern time possesses a definito and important function in tho digestion of tho food. Tho bird having no teeth tho food is In many eases swallowed wholo. Somo birds rnu crush tho food with their beaks, but normally tho digestion is permitted largely through tho agency of tho gizzard, where tho food is ground into flno particles. The interior coating of this organ ,is rough nnd muscular. Many birds swallow, as far as tho giz zard, small pebbles that aiil tho process of attrition. Thua it tho latest theory be correct n curious pnrndox is present ed. Whereas in tho beginning, ns now, tho gizzard performed its functions most satisfactorily when supplied with indigestible substances, its rudiment that now remains iu tho human struc ture becomes a center of dangerous con ditions rrs soon as any foreign sttbstiuico, and especially any bard matter, is de posited in it. One of tho marvels of anatomy for somo j curs has been this strurgo sue iu tho upper intestines, apparently with out tfio least function in tlw digestive system and capable of beijig removed without alleeting tho health of tho pa tient save to a favorable degree. Ko searches have revealed many traces of suvih rudiments in the human system. Darwin's studies brought to liglt many resemblances between man and tlio lower orders. It may iow bo that tho tlospised vermiform appendix will bo exploited us the real "'missing link" binding man to tho uxt ages, when life assumed many forms that aro today un known. Wushiugtou Star. Vlllacer's Idea of Hotel Business. A young luwyer in oue of tho leading ialte cities recently passed a few days at tbe home of his childhood, a rural ham let iu an adjoining county. While there ho ran across ono of the characters of the place, a quaint old man whom he hud known ever since he could romom bar. "How's bizuess in towur" inquired the aged man. "Pretty good," replied the lawyer. "Whatyedoinuowr" "Practicing law." "What's your brother Jim doin?" "Jim is running a hotel," and he named ono of the largest publio houses in the city. "Is Jim married yet?" "No." The old man raised his head with a commiserating glanco. Then he dryly observed : "Has to doe-pond on hirod holp, eh!" Cloveluud Pluin Dealer. Bernhardt mad Lotl. Sarah Bernhardt recently said to a persistent newspaper correspondent: "I have told you everything. There is noth ing that remuius for me to say.

"Oh, simply that ouoe upon a time he made np his mind that he was going to make my acquaintance, First he wrote mo a letter expressing his admira tion for mo, und did mo the honor of dedicating a book to me.

IMlf a llllllnn lnllurs Worth Owned Here Amount llniililly Itierennlnff. Ill no country nr- there moro dia monds to be found than in the United States, according to tlio population. It is estimated by n lendin t Mi.idcii lane (Now York) diamond dealer t .'tlhero nro upward of $500,0(1(1.00(1 Si'th of diamonds in tbis enmilry . , .cover, tlAs vast amount In increasing year by year. Until qnito recently diamonds were rarely cut iu this country, but Amer ican inventors have developed a process for diamond cutting which is vastly su perior to that done abroad. The loss in weight through cutting is sometimes fully ono half, but tho value is increased probably more than two told. Tho Dutch city of Amsterdam has been tho great diamond cutting center of tho world from time immemorial nnd up to a few years ago over 19,000 peo ple in thnt place were directly or indi rectly dependent npnn this trado. lint it was not reasonable to suppose that Amsterdam should conliuuo to hold a monopoly of diamond cutting. n one of tho greatest importing cities of the world, New York gradually offered in ducements to diamond cutters, nnd nu industry has been gradually built up hero that is now very flourishing nnd profitable. In 1H58 Henry D. Morse of Boston Invented a machine for cutting and polishing diamonds, nnd sinco then improvements hnvo been mado upon it that nro very important. Tho foreigners continr.o to polish their stones by hand, but in this country machinery is large ly used. A famous gem expert places tho total value of nil the diamonds in the world nt over $1,000,000,000, of which $!1C0, 000,000 worth nro iu tho hnntls of deal ers, carried as stock. All of tho other diamonds me iu tho hands of privuto in dividuals, and the question naturally arises, who owns them? This is not so easily nnswcrrd, except in tho enso of largo nnd world famous gems. Godey's Magazine PAYNE'S DESERTED TOMB. Rrmlnliireuces of the Aathor of I'llmne. Sweet Home." The old Christian cemetery nt Tunis is ouo of tho strangest sights in that strange town. Just off a busy thorough fare, under an ancient archway, is a heavy wooden gate, much worn by tho lapse of time, thickly studded with fan tastic nails and provided with n prodi gious knot her. Tho latter, howovor, is not needed, for tho gate yields to nn energetio push, and you find yourself in a large, walled inclosuro, half garden, half graveyard, where nn Italian worn uu is hanging out clothes among tho gaunt wiiite tumbs. It is 13 years since any one was buried here, nnd tho place I is beginning to look neglected. Tho 1 modern cemetery is now outside tho I walls, und its guardian told inn that j many people came to him to inquire for I tho monument of "uu American poet" or "an American consul, "and ho hud to send I hem to tho old graveyard. Tho monument iu question is that, of tho uulhor of "Home, Sweet flnmo," nnd it bears tho following inscription upon its sides: "In memory of John Howard Payn, author nf '1101110, Sweet Homo.
