ignorant. There is perpetual pickering
about the quarters, about the food,
about the bedding: innumerable small
'hets occur, which give rise to noisy
wrangles, participated in by both men
and women. "Only row in the steer
age" is on board ship a sufficient expla.
nation for any n sual racket that may
chance to be overheard. Though there
is much talking there is very little fight
ing, for steamer regulations are very
strict, and when brawls go beyond the
limits of wordy warfare interference by
petty officer and two or three brawny
sailors usually settles the difficulty in
short order.
The population of the storage is gen.
orally composed of working people. men
and women Of active habits, accustomed
TO much outdoor life. ami who are, as a
consequence, extremely impa lent of be-
ing shut up in the narrow space allotted
to their daily life on board ship. Dur.
ing their week or t.'O OF confinement
they find themselves ha pressed for
amusement. In their effort to entertain
themselves and pass the time, they are
commonly assisted by the cabin passen-
gers, who frequently make up small
purses for races and for contests in
wrestl ng and boxing. The "tug of war;
is favorite SPORT a long rope being
provided; two champions, generally of
different nationaiities, choosing their
sides and the followers of each side pull
ing against each other. National emu.
latioh in these contests is usually strong,
and the Irishman will e. ert himself far
| more when pulling against an English
man, just as the Frenchman feels it nee
essary to redouble his yigor when pitted
against the German. 1t does not take
much to awaken an interest in anything
on board ship, and contests Of this kind
invariably have for an audience every.
body who is not seasick.
The distinction between the steerage
and the cabin passengers is sharply
drawn. In many ships barrier is
erected between the two portions of the
| vessel; in others o rope stretched across,

ton of passengers, but of crew, and cv-
cry outward ound steamer is obliged to
comply with the regulations laid down
bv the Roard of Trade. Usually as the
vessel passes down the harbor. the crew
is paraded on deck, Board OF Trade
Commissioner calls the roll, while his
associates scrutinize the members OF the
crew to ascertain If they are all present
and if all are able boiled men. This
ceremony, which is by no means a for
maity, being over, the boats are exam
ined to see if food and water are stored
in them, and the Commissioners desig-
nate one which shall be launched. 1t is
let down from the side, two or more sea-
men take their places in it, and row
around the ship to prove the seaworthi-
ness of the little craft. All these opera
tions, so directly in their own interest,
are watched with eager eyes by the
passengers, both cabin and Storage, to
most of whom the ceremony is entirely
new.
Among the 1000 or 1.5oo passen-
gers of great packet there are usually
representatives of every nation in
Europe. Twenty or thirty languages
are spoken, and as the quarters are
crowded there is apparently no end tc
the disagreement among the occupants
of the lower regions in the bow Of the
ship. Every little while, as prelimina-
ries for sailing progress, and generally

IT does not follow that because a
man enacts two distinct and widely
different parts in life, at the same
time, he is therefore hypocrite. Tie
truth is that seven-eighths Of US do
this very thing. Just as the Blue
and White Niles run parallel with
each other for hundreds of miles,
without mixing, so do two natures
quite as strongly contrasted some
times seem to be. in operation stimuli
taneously in the same individual, he
being all the while unconscious of his
own duality. OF course, such one
cannot be called a dissembler. The
butcher who feels no conjunction
about Staying the lamb that looks
pleadingly in his face as he applies
the knife to its throat may be the
kindest and gentlest of husbands and
fathers; the hero of the battlefield
may be mortally afraid Of the tongue
of his wife; even the executioner who
ties the fatal knot with perfect in
difference may be merciful man tc
his dog and quite amiable in his gen
eral behavior.

A DUEL, not Of the French kind,
was fought in the southern part OF
Delaware recently and resulted in
placing both Of the combatants in a
critical condition. The affair grew
out of disparaging remark made by
one Of the duelists about the others

girl was justly indignant, but if he
RECEIVERS from his wounds he will
probably realize that resort to the
code did not afford a remedy for the
trouble, for he has only proved his
own confidence in his sisters honor
without convincing the world of the
fact. Nineteenth century intelli-
gence has grasped the idea that vio-
lent actions cannot take the place Of
proof, but there is an occasional in
stance which seems to indicate the
existence Of the belief in some quar-
tiers that 1t is only necessary to kill
some one to prove that you are right,
or to be killed in the attempt.

Our Immigrants.

Public attention is at prs cni being
called with no little emphasis to the ex-
tent of foreign immigration to this
country. The number of those who
come is attracting serious Consideration
from legislators and Statesmen, while
the character of the immigration is
causing moralists and publicists no little
concern. Something has alfeady been
done in the way of restricting the influx
OF an undesirable clement of foreigners,
but what has been accomplished in this
way is probably very little compared
with what will be done soon after the
assembling of the next Congress
Whatever may have beeil the ad-
vantages or disadvantages of wholesale
immigration such as we have for a few
years past experienced, it is certain that
no more interesting study oflhuman ma
ture in all its phases is presented than
in the Storage of large steamer bound
for the United States For months be-
fore the sailing day Immigration agents
have been at work. Sent out by states

the immigrants both ready and willing
to do any work that presents itself, and
the short handed gang of ailors, pulling

willing helpers among the ablc-bodie
passengers.
If the weather is good the passage is
generally enjoyable, for most OF the
time can be spent in the open air; but il
stormy, the sufferings of the crowds in
the Storage are often severe. When
heavy winds and high seas prevail the
matches must of course be closed, ana in
that case hundreds of human beings are
shut up in narrow quarters with little
opportunity for ventilation, and the dis
comfort is often extreme.
Every ship coming from Europe to
America has class of passengers who

certain to conceal themselves some

orally conceal themselves effectually,
and do not appear until the ship is day
or so out of port. When found they
are roughly treated, and are generally
sent down and put to work in the fur
mace room shoveling coal Their fate
in this quarter Of the ship is anything
but enviable, for in the boiler rooms the
temperature frequently goes up to 100
degrees, and even the practiced firemen
are sometimes forced to leave their
quarters and come up for air. If the
stowawav refuses to work he is kicked,
beaten, starved, often put in irons and
thrown into the ho,d, there to remain
until the end of the voyage. In spite
of the fact that he is likely to be re-
turned to Europe on the same vessel
that took him out, he comes on every
| voyage, and in some of the large packets
as many as seventeen stowaways have
been found when the ship got fairly
| to sea.
But every stowaway, immigrant and
cabin passenger has all equal interest in
the end of the voyage, and when pass
ing up the harbor to New York all look
with eager eyes at what to them is q

mountain ranges of Southern Spain

The valleys are dry in summer, tor
rents in winter, and change on the
instant from one condition to the
other. Destructive floods are certain
in such a region, and those which
have just swept through part Of
New CASTLE have coursed down wall
leys whose usual water supply is a
trickling stream. The terrible loss

fear will not, arouse public opinion

The fact that the Iowa firm which
made the lowest bid for the new
torpedo boat has an establishment
capable of building it, and accord
ingly gets the contract, brings up
the old question in regard to naval
construction on the lakes. When
Congressman Wheeler's ship-building
firm in Michigan made the lowest
bid for the Naval Academy practice
vessel, it was rejected, after much
Cabinet deliberation, on the ground,
as then stated, that its construction
at Bay City would violate the treaty
of 1917. Tt becomes a question
whether, with repeated evidences Of
the ability Of the ship-yards on the
great lakes to construct the smaller
government vessels, they are to be
cut off from this occupation by the
ancient treaty. 1t is true that after
prescribing the force that shall be
maintained upon the American
lakes" the Rush-Bagot treaty de-
CluIcS UlldU oil OUucl dIluCu Vessels
there shall be dismantled, "and no
other vessels of war shall then be
built or armed" 1t was this latter
clause that settled the case of the
practice vessel. But does not the
phrase properly refer to the MAIN
tanning Of vessels on the lakes, and
would it apply to the construction of
a ship which, before receiving any
part Of its armament, should be
taken through the canals and the
St. Lawrence to the Atlantic? 1t
would seem probable that the Brit
ish Government might, if applied to,
concede this liberal Interpretation;
but our own government has evil

operation of the treaty as it stands,
in keeping light-draught English
gun-boats out of the great lakes, as
to hesitate even at suggesting SO

THE flerceness with which the Eu-

of making war upon China is equaled
only by the trepidation with which
they view any incident which seems
to threaten war among themselves.

ropean shoulder, and the skill shown
in avoiding the fall of. any one Of

F.! The Hopkins-Searles will contest
will support a regiment of lawyers
for some years to come. 1t is thus
that many large fortune goes back
to the people. In the old days, when
under the Roman or Florentine re-
public privileged citizens amassed
fortunes so enormous that they be-
came tremendous powers in the state,
they had not carried litigation to the
point Of development which it has
reached in our day. Perhaps we shall
owe to the lawyers the preservation
Of the republic yet.
