THE STEWARDS STORY.
How the Public Servants on Trans
atlantic Lines Increase Their
Incomes.

No one can blame the stewards when
they think of their work and know
what their wages are. They must live
and ought to be well paid, though
sometimes, as l have shown, there an
too many of them after tips" had
several conversations when on board
with a man who had spent thirty year:
IN the service, and has been employed
by all the principal lines and crossed
on all the best vessels.
(which line do you prefer to shil
on?" said /.
''Well, there is not deal of differ
encs so far as wages go. but We ali like
the Cunard ships best"
"Why?"
''They are more considerate about
their stewards and the men as rule
have been in service longer. And then
there are more wealthy people travel on
that line and tips run higher.
About how much do you clear on
round trip?''
"Of course, that depends largely on
the season of the year, the class of pas
sengers and the location of your rooms.
Il can understand the first reasons,
but not the last one?''
1--WE stewards understand IT, sir,
said the man, with something akin 10
a respectful wink. You see a steward
who is up to his business always chooses
the starboard side of the veSsel."
And, pray, why is that:'
''Because that Is generally the side
the gentlemen prefer. Ladies rs rule
prefer the portside, and, though there
are some exceptions, the gentlemen
pay the best"
isHow much money does a steward
clear in tips on a round trip"
On n good trip We make from :, 10

not average anything like that. Ihe
bedroom stewards make more than the
dining room stewards, because while
the former may have twenty or twenty
five passengers the latter III no case
has more than eight.
''Do passengers continue to pay rs
cheerfully as they formerly did,
II can't say that they do. The fact

steward, the smoke room steward, the

are all after their fees, and passengers

truly said. a serious item.

Louisa NJ. Abbott replied "from

Helen Campbell believes 10 man ft
to marry before 30 and no woman before
25.
Lucy Stone does does not believe in
early marriage, so she puts the suitable
age at from % to 30 years.
Mary L. Booth avoids figures. but
regards immature marriages as fruit.
full source of Cnhappiness.
Eunice White Beecher believe that
there are many reasons why marriage
of girls from is to 81 would seem 70
promise the happiest results.
Rebecca Harding Davis wrote that
she thought ths time for a girl to marry
is when she meets man who heartily
loves her and whom she heartily loves.
Louise Chandler Moulton thinks that
more girls are capable of wise choice
at % than at 20, and that nine-tenths
of our girls would be happier should
they wait until the maturer period.
Madeline Vinton Dahlgren thinks
that young woman of 20 must have
seen enough of the social atmosphere in
which she lives to be able to discrimin-
ate wisely In the choice of a husband.

Keep the mouth closed and breathe
through the nose. especially in cold
weather. There are two good reasons
for this. Air drawn through the nasal
passages is slightly warmed on its way;
if breathed more directly through the
mouth it reaches the lungs too cold.
1t is also said, and it looks reasonable,
that the fine hairs lining the postrils
keep out dust and disease germs which
would find free passage to the throat
and lungs il one breathed through the
mouth. Children should be taught
correct habits Of breathing from the
beginning.
