o;e+v ba. been secured forthwith be-
canse a certain particular man mas
consented to head it. And on the
other hand many a committee nay
failed to make the slightest headway-.
though the object for which 1t exists
may be unexceptionable simply De-
cause the cooperation of MI. So-and-
so has not been obtained. Though
this NAV not indicate a very cheerful
state of things, tits nevertheless a ON
NOR experience. A committee or
society having been established, and1 its
chairman appointed. it becomes incum-
bentupon the latter to attend the meet-
incs with unfailing regularity. For ms
own comfort.and convenience he wllldo
so. since it mustbe obvious that the mo-
ment he closes touch" with the affairs
of the committee he then and there
labors under a distinct disadvantage
and his usefulness, moreover, is dlmlh-
ished. In committee work he will have
due regard to punctuality-beginn1ng
the proceedings at the selected hour:
If he is lacking in this respect. he will
find the members Of the committee
o o growing equally remiss-not to
the benefit Of the business which calls
them together. In committees it IS
customary to permit of a good deal OF
the conversational style of transacting
affairs, and within well-defined limits
this is unavoidable. But in a meeting
on a larger scale, public or otherwise,
the chairman must regulate the busi-
ness in the st%rictest possible manner.
Again, Mr.. Chairman must take care
shat his meeting does its work. Let
him always have it well in hand. He
must not allow any one to speak mere
than once or to wander from the sub
ject, or to obtrude upon an unwilling
audience. The only exception to the
first point is made in favo, of the
speaker who introduces a subject, and
who is accorded a right of reply
which, however, is usually not claimed
at public meetings. As regards the
second point, he will call the Grant
orators attention to the irrelevancy OF
his remarks, and invite him to discuss
the matter under consideration, or re-
sumo his seat. And in reference to the
third, which has not ~unfrequently
proved itself a thorn in the chairman's
side, should the speaker persist in adj
dressing people who are manifestly re-
luctant to hear him, the chairman will
probably be able to put an end to the
unseemly scene by requesting the audi
ence to vote as to whether the ohstruc-
Zionist is to be heard or not. In all
| cases the chairman must see that his
ruling is upheld and acted upon. Re-
spect for the chair must be a cardinal
principal.-Cassel's Family Maqaziae.

LIFE in THE NAVY A r

Business Scenes During the Greater Part
of the Day-Oficers' Relaxation.
The Brooklyn Navy Yard, like most
military and naval posts and reserva-
tons, is a little world of itself. When
one passes through the squalid part OF
the city that lies about its walls and
enters the great gates, where the sol
emn marines with cleaning bayonets
keep guard night and day, he is in an
other atmosphere. The hum of traffic
from the twin cities sounds far away.
Before him is a broad street stretching
down to the river, where men-of-war
are lying. There are trees and green
grass, ships being repaired and Ships
being demolished. marines walking
post and sailors moving about with the
peculiar rolling gait which distin-
guishes the ~seafaring man. A drive
way leads up a little hill to the left. to
the Communicates house. Before the
house stands an orderly in white gloves
and above his head a flag floats from
the top of a lofty pole. About half
way down the main street. in a build
ing of yellow brick, is the offices of the
commandment, where all the headquar-
tiers business of the ..Naval Station of
New York is transacted. Here also is
the Office Of the captain of the yard and
n or two other functionaries. Other
buildings, mostly OF yellow brick, scat
tered about the yard are machine-shops,
sail-lofts, sto%re-houses, etc. There are
two immense wooden structures, under
one Of which is the unfinished frigate
New York, and under the other the old
Colossus, now being demolished.
In this, the chief naval station of the
United States, there is always plenty of
work to be done, for ships-of-war are
always being fitted out for sea, Or come
in to go out of commission or to be re-
paired. For each particular work
there is a department. There arc the
departments of steam engineering, pro-
visions and clothing, navigation, ord
nance, etc. At an early hour in the
morning the sound of the hammer and
| the saw begins to be heard, the ma
chinery starts up, the workmen and
| clerks arrive, the officers in charge OF
! the different departments enter thei1
offices, and until four o'clock in the at.
ternoon the business of the yard is III
full blast. Imagine the business Of q
great ship-yard combined with the
supply of provisions, the m%anufactur.
ing and supply of clothing for several
thousand men and officers, the making
OF sails, ropes, spars. engines, flags
and signals, the supplying Of ordnance
and the thousand and one things that
are used aboard a man-of-war from q
pillow-case to a carpet or knife and
fork. Add to this the work Of the pay

THE CHAIRMAN.
His Duties as They Exist in England
Points for the People.

His Duties as They Exist In England
Points for the People.
For the ordinary work of committees
or societies, it is by no meansnecessary
that the chairman should be a good
speaker-perhaps the reverse, on the
whole. A chairman who likes to hear
the sound of his own voice will very
soon ruin the committee or meeting
over which he presides, unless steps be
taken promptly to remedy the mischief.
The model chairman should be able to
say his say in a few brief, appropriate
entences when circumstances requires
it-as, for example, in stating the OBJ
jects for which a meeting is being held;
but usually he has to do more with
controlling the speaking of others.
lie must be a man of tact, Judgment
and an even temper-possessing the
knack OF coming if need be, to a
swift and sound decision upon the

business man, of good social standing

invited to take the chair. He will at
once give an air OF substantially to
the committee, stamping it with the
sign and seal of worth. Often enough

THE SKIN.
To What the Color and Discolorations of
the Skin Are Due.

To What the Color and Discolorations of
the Skin Are Due.
The color of the skin is due to s'pig-
ment" paint sccreted by glands at the
bottom of the c%uticle, or scarf-skin.
On this pigment depends the color that
marks different races. Even the fair
est of the white race have more OF less
of it. Its entire absence of it in the
negro gives us the albino-sometimes
seen on exhibition-with strangely
white skin, white hair and pink eyes.
This coloring matter is confined to the
scarf-skin (cuticle.) The true skin
(cutis rera) has the same color in the
Caucasian, Asiatic and African.
Sometimes the coloring matter, in
stead of being equally ditfused, is in
creased in quantity in spots and patch
es; or, failing to be secreted in patches,
is augmented in the contiguous parts.
In no case, however. does anything
more than a slight deformity to the
eye result.
The most familiar form is that Of
freckles. These are confined to per-
sons of fair complexion. Such are often
born with a sure tendency to them. so
that the appear even in infancy. 9th
ers freckle only when much exposed to
the sun. Even the former have
their freckles intensified by exposure.
Both need to avoid undue exposure.
The latter may be wholly relieved, but
it is not SO with the former.
7awny pat.aes.-These, ayellowish-
brown, begin as small round discolora-
tions, which enlarge and become more
OR less irregular in outline. They do
not generally appear before adult age.
They are much more common in wom-
en-. They occur, however in men. In
both they may be caused by exposur
to the sun in which case theydisappear
in winter. In women, they are often
due to certain arrangements, the cor
rection of which will remove them.
The physician a aid their removal by
a wash for the skin.
Blamched patches.-These appear as
small white dots, which slowly in
crease in size. Their edges are clearly
defined. AS they get larger, The sur
rounding skin becomes darker. 1t is
common among the dark races, and
among the dark complexioned of the
white race. 1t gives us the ..piebald''
negro. No known treatment arrests
it. Sometimes, however. it disappears
spontaneously, to reappear at a future
day.-louth's Companion.
