THE BYGONE CABIN BOY. No Place For Him In the Merchant Ma- rine of Today.
These are inauspicious times for the boy who, after having fired his mind with the tales of Marryat or Clark Russell, is filled with a consuming desire to seek his for- tune on the sea. In the days of Midship- man Easy, or when the celebrated Captain Kidd pirated and mysteriously buried his treasures, something of romance may have hung over the career of a sailor, but the glories of that time have departed. Neither in the merchant marine nor in the navy can the place of cabin boy—the first which the seastruck lad aspires to—be said to ex- ist any longer. If it still remains in the cases of a few small sailing vessels, tt is merely a belated relic of former days, which
is continually becoming rarer.
The duties of a cabin boy, before the profession languished into its present dis- appearing state, were manifold. They varied according to the kind and size of the ship he was on, but the place was never anything remotely resembling «a sinecure. The boy waited on the officers or the passengers, or both, in any way they might require. He was the steward’s assistant in the pantry and dining room. He helped the cook under more or less use- less protest, and he was general ‘‘fag’’ for the entire crew. Although he was often a favorite with the seamen, it was neverthe- less remembered that as a boy he was evi- dently intended as a kind of scapegoat for anything which might be out of order. Various sins of commission and omission were laid at his door, and he might get out of the scrapes as best he could. He was always a butt for the jests of the crew. There were standing practical jokes which were played on all new cabin boys. One of these was to instruct him when he be- gan his duties that ‘‘nothing must ever be thrown to windward except hot water and ashes.’’? Bearing these two exceptions in mind in all innocence, the unlucky boy would appear on deck with red and stream- ing eyes, and the crew would explode into roars of laughter at this proof of obedience to orders.
But those days have passed. On the ocean liners, the merchant vessels and the warships of the navy all the ‘*mess boys,” paradoxically speaking, are men.
‘There is no longer any place at sea for a boy,’’ said an old captain a day or two ago. ‘“‘In the present state of maritime service only ablebodied men can find em- ployment on shipboard. If I had a boy, rather than let him go to sea, even if he could manage to get work, I would put him to breaking stone on the road. There is no chance of bis rising to any position that would be worth while on a vessel. In the old days of sailing ships things were dtfferent, but with the modern changes in the construction and management of ves- sels men are needed for all the depart- ments of work. The only thing that the boy who is determined to go to sea can do now is to wait patiently until he is big enough todo a man’s work and then ship as an able seaman.’’-—-New York Tribune.
His Frightful Predicament.
He walked up and down the room ges- ticulating excitedly and saying unconspli- mentary things about his rival.
‘It is terrible!’ he said.
“What is terrible?’ they asked.
“Talk about being between the devil and the deep sea!’’ he exclaimed, ignoring the question. ‘*Talk about the problem of the lady or the tiger! Why, this is a thoa- sandfold worse than either!’’
‘*What is?’’ they asked.
**My rival has been carrying false stories about me to the girl I love!’’ he cried.
They laughed.
“Is that all?’’ they said. ‘Well, it wouldn't take any of us long to decide what we would do under those circum- stances.”’
**He has insulted me in her presence,” be went on bitterly.
“And what did you do?” they asked.
“Nothing,’’ he answered. *‘1 was pow- i erless."’
Again they laughed scornfully and mada merry jest at his expense.
**Powerless!"’ they said. ‘‘ You, a large, strong wan, powerless! A man calmly steps in and carries away your ladylove in addition to insulting you, and you claim to be powcrless!"’
“‘What would you have me do?’’ he in- quired.
** sill him!’ they replied.
He shook his head.
**At least,”’ they insisted, “you could thrash him within an inch of his life. You could resent an insult by pounding him until be would figure principally as a non- entity for the next six cr eight weeks.”
‘You forget,’’ he said.
‘“‘Porget what?’’ they demanded.
**Hecarries both accident and life insur- ance in the company that I represent.’’
Then they realized that the young in- surance agent spoke truly when he refer- red to the lady, the tiger, the devil and the deep sea.—Chicago Post.

On the Wrong Lay.
Green had beem in new lodgings just one week and had arrived at the concla- sion that his tenancy would not be of long duration unless there was a material dif- ference im the quality of the breakfast egg. He did not like to tell the landlady point blank, so he adopted a roundabout method of communicating his epinion on the sub- ject.
‘Didn’t you telk me you were fond of reading Macaulay, Mrs. Bluff?’ he asked her as he broke the shell of the egg.
‘It was my lamented’s favorite reading, Mr. Green,.”’ returned the widowed lady.
‘Ah! Now L understand why you have your eggs from Ltaly.”’
‘*‘Whatever makes you think that, sir? They came from a farm near here.”’
**Really!’’ exclaimed Green, with a very pronounced sniff. ‘‘ These eggs remind me most forcibly of the ‘Lays of Ancient Rome.’ Funny, isn’t it?’’
He had notice on the spot.—Pearson’s Weekly.
Slow at Seeing.
Fog—Fenderson is a good enough fel- low, but he is terribly slow at seeing a joke.
Bass—lIs he?
Fogg—He slipped om a piece of orange peel the other day and had a fall. Every- body laughed, but Ferderson couldn’t see the point of the joke.
Bass-—-Not surprising.
Fogy—He saw it about 24 bours later, however, when anocher fellow did the same thing.—Pick Me Up.
Delay Would Be Dangerous,
“According to this cablegram, they were married in Paris yesterday,’’ he said.
‘*We must send our congratulations at once,’’ she returned.
**By mail or cable?’’ he asked.
“From what I know of both of them,” she replied, ‘‘we ought to send them by cable if we wish to be sure that they will be acceptable when they reach them.’’-~ Chicago Post.
