health and high spirits go skipping
through the tops. Then Cooks below
is piped, and all the boys who are not
cooks have liberty to go out on the big
wharf and play all the games they
choose until dinner.
School begins again at . o'clock and
lasts until ). Cooks below" pipes out
again, and everybody tumblcs down to

themselves as they like. At that hour

out" is pircd, and the schoolboys day
is over. Half an hour before bedtime
they lay out the fire-hose where it will
be handy if needed.
In the play hours of the evening the
boys may choose their own sports and
have all the fun they like. The lieuten-
ants teach them how to fence and box
once in a while and provide them with
masks and boxing gloves out of their
own pockets.
At sea the port and starboard watches
do regular duty, just as watches of full
grown sailormen would. That, of course,
prevents them from keeping such regu-
lar hours as they do in port, but they
still have plenty of time for sleep, work
and play.

lots of play and enough sleep"
The boys soon learn how to handle a
ship. and they serve their tricks at the
wheel, stand watch, and make and mend
sails in ship-shape order. After one

Habits of the Owl.

A Georgia paper amuses its readers by
a story about the domestic habits of the
owl family. lie says in the early spring
the old hen owl lays an egg, and imme-
diately sets on it until it is Matched, and
then hovers over the little fellow until
it becomes full fedged. When this is
done she lay another egg, and the young
owlet assumes the maternal responsibility
to ha Itch out that egg and rear the
younger owl. BY that time owlet num-
Der one is able to fly away, and number
two takes his place, and matches out the
next egg. This operation continues as
long as the season lasts.

During the summer the St Mary's
cruises in the Atlantic, and the boys
have lot of chances to learn all about
practical seamanship and navigation. In
the winter she is laid up in this port, and
the boys go to school in the neat little
school house on the spar deck, where
they are taught English grammar.
geography and history and mathematics
and the theory Of navigation. School
begins November /, and the term ends
April 16 each year. The examiners from
the New York City Board of Education
spent pleasant three hours last Monday
fiji ding out how much the st. Mary's
boys knew on these subjects. They were
well pleased with the amount of intelli-
gencc they found, and complimented
highly Commander Crowninshield and
his officers on the thoroughness of their
instruction and the brightness of their
pupils. From now until May the boys
have vacation. Meantime the ship is
going to be docked and overhaulcd.
Here is the plan of her annual cruise:
Leave Newport May 10 for Bordeaux,
arriving June 8; sail June - for Lisbon,
arriving June Il, and sailing for Madeira
June %. Thence July for Teneriife,
arriving July g, and sailing for New
York July II. Home August 6, and
cruise along the New England coast
until the middle of October.
To join the ship a boy must live in
New York City, be of good moral char
acter and in sound physical condition,
and he between fifteen and twenty years
old. His parents or guardians must
bring him. I he course of instruction
lasts two years. The only expense for all
that time is $50, which each boy has to
pay on being received aboard ship. This
pays for his uniforms and bed clothing.
When a boy joins the ship he is put in
the third or lowest division, and Il back
bag and diddy box are assigned to
him. The ''black bag" is a long cylin-
der of black canvas and fills the place of
a trunk. The diddy box is one of hun
dred little lockers that is fastened with
big paddock and holds the boys comb
and brushes and all sorts of little traps
The boys all sleep on the gun deck.

:5Stfhe Mheel. + youngsters, and the
ambition to be one of the tight trousered
crowd who 90 skipping through the tops
has been enough to make many boy
leave home by stealth and try to go
aboard. Alas for their hopes. Also
alas for their ambitions! No boy will
be taken aboard the ship who is not
brought there by his father or mother or
by his legal guardian. The st. Mary's
is no place for truants. Any 10y who
wants to sail in her must not only have
the consent of his guardians; he must
be the owner of good moral character
in first rate working order, otherwise he
will never hearken to the orders of Com
mandcr Crowninshicld or listen to the
hearty voice of Lieutenant Field.
Many years ago, when American ships
were not so scarce as they are nowadays,
the Board of Education of this seaport
town resolved to teach boys how to be
frst-cla sailormen. 1t was one OF the
best resolves that learned Board ever
made. The United States Government

ment detailed commander, three lieu
tenants and one surgeon from the ma
tional navy to look after the welfare of
the boys and train them up in the
way they should go. The city of New
York has ever since maintained the ship
and her crew, and the Government has
supplied her with proper officers.
