What Is sailors kit for a long voy-

as for that matter, no two are alike. One

well, take the average sailor. and give
me an inventory of the contents of his
chest"
Il think l will tell you what we found
in the chest of one of our men who died
last voyage; it would hit the mark, per
haps. We had been struck by a squat off
Hatteras, and had had hard work to get
the muslin off the ship before the gale
which quickly followed, hove US to under
closereefed maintopsail. As the men lay
down from alOft one of them was pitched
headlong overheard by the parting of a
ratlin. and he was aStern and swallowed
up by the angry waves before any effort
could be made to save him. As is the Gus
tom, his chest was brought aft, opened
and an inventory made of his effects, that
might be forwarded to his friends In
addition to the heavy clothes for bad
weather and the light ones for use under
sunny skies, were found many little pres
ents which the dead man had picked up
and was taking to his friends at home.
There were dress pattern of rich China
silks, pretty toilet boxes and bits of fancy
carving. Each was wrapped up and the
address of the intended recipient written
upon it. From letters which were found
in the till of Jacks chest we learned that
he hailed from an inland town of Penn
sylvania, and the gifts were intended for
a mother and sisters there, who will have
to wait long for the return of their sailor

The Dummy-key Trick.
TN- RoSfN,, Tro-,l

An ingenious scheme has been invented
by a congressman which he is studiously
trying to keep to himself, which has so
far worked to Il charm. He calls it ''the
dummy-key racket" This congressman
is very popular fellow, and lives at one
of the large hotels here. He found that
his room had become the headquarters
of a crowd of his friends, who were US
ing it after a free-and-easy fashion of
clubhouse. He didn't like to say anything
about it, but he saw plainly that some
thing must be done and done quickly.
Being of an observant turn of mind he
noticed that visitors inquiring afer board
ers in the hotel looked at the key boxes
back of the clerks desk. If the key was
gone it was tolerably certain that the man
had taken it to open his door and was
probably in. On the other hand, if the
key was in the box of course the boarder
was out. This fact gave the congressman
a very enlarged idea. He knew that if his
friends saw the key there they would think
he was away, and therefore would not
come up stairs, so he had dummy key"
made, which Is always in his box except
very late at night when the clerk remov-
es it, only to replace it in the box early in
the morning. The scheme has worked to
a charm. and the congressman only hopes
he can keep 1t a secret until the end of
the present session.
