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

glories of that time have departed. Neither in the merchant marine nor in the navy ean 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, it 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 ginecure. 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 remembe:ed 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

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 o!d 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 his rising to any position that would be worth while on a vessel. In the old days of sailing ships things were different, but with the medern 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 Frightfal Predicament.

He walked up and down the room ges- ticulating excitedly and saying uncompli- 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 questicn. **Talk about the problem of the lady or the tiger! Why, this is a thou- sandfold worse than either!’’

‘*What is?’’ they asked.

‘My rival has been cprrying false stories about ine 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,” he went on bitterly.

‘*And what did you do?” they asked.

‘“‘Nothing,’’ he answered. ‘I was pow- erless.’’

Again they laughed scornfully and mad3 merry jest at his expense.

‘*Powerless!’’ they said. ‘‘ You, a large, strong man, powerless! A man calmly steps in and carries away your ladylove in addition to insulting you, and you claim to be powerless !’’

‘“‘What would you bave me do?”’ he in- quired.

** Kill 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 he would figure principally as a non- entity for the next six or eight weeks.”’

** You forget,’’ he said.

**Forget what?’’ they demanded,

“Hecarries both accident and live 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.

BEE BUZZES.

In wintering it is always best tc take away all but one queen.

Very late swarming out is good evidence | that the bees are starved out,

Keep the brood as near the center as

possible and the honey nearest the out- | side frantes.

The queen, no matter how prolific, should be confined to the space occupied by the cluster.

A queen bee lays both fertilized and un- fertilized eggs, alternating from one kind | to another in rapid succession.

The hives should not be shifted around | from one place to another, as the bees will | get confused and it will often incite rob- | bing.

If a colony is left queenless for some ‘time and there is no young brood from which to raise a queen, worker bees often perform the duty of laying eggs.—St. Louis Republic.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

Uneasy lies the face that wears a frown. The closer money is the harder it is to get hold of.

It is easy to find fault, but it’s hard to tell what to do with it.

Some people use very poor material when they make up their minds.

No wonder the occan waves get angry whon the wind is continually biowing them up.

The most popular female in the United States is the blond lady whose face adorna the $20 goldpiece.

The average man never fully realizes at midnight how very sleepy he is going to be at 7 o’clock the next morning.—Chica- go News.

DIAMOND DUST.

A dual system of baseball umpires is good. No matter how Dig or obstreperous a player may be, two o7 thera should be able to put him out. —Philadelphia Times.

The National league is wise in adopting the double umpire system. ‘The chances are always favorable that one of them will be able to go through the game. — Detroit Journal.

The meeting of the baseball magnates in Philadelphia seemed to be similar te an old fashioned “‘swapping’’ bee, with this difference, that men were the commodity instead of horses. —New York Herald.
