THE NAVY PAY CORPS.

Men Who Dispense the Cash to INCL.
Sans Fighting Sailors.
The paymaster general of the navy
is usually chief of the bureau of ac-
counts in the Office of the secretary OF
the navy, and he does not go to sea-
The pay directors and the pay inspect
ors usually have shore duty at some
naval pay office. So do some of the
paymasters, and, of course, everybody
has his share of shore duty at these
stations, unless, as occasionally kEp-
pens, an officer prefers the higher pay
of sea duty. Paymasters and assistant
paymasters high on the list are as
signed to big ships, the juniors to
smaller ships and subordinate posts
ashore. The pay corps stickles for
rank and precedence, just as the line
does, and to each of its members is off.
cially accorded the dignity due to the
degree of his relative rank. The popu-
lar impression that the paymaster is
something less than a fighting officer
is mistake, though a good many of
the fighting officers wish that this
were the case. In the wardroom the
paymaster is Familiarity known as
s'Pay," unless he happens to be on
such terms with his shipma ties as to
justify them in calling him by his last
name unadorned with any title Folks
who wish to be polite call him pay
master, even when he is only an assist
ant paymaster, but nobody calls him
by his military title.
The paymaster is not mere account
ant, and the government supplies to
him clerk, who is expected to do the
real drudgery of the pen. The pay
master also has a yeoman for les,
clerkly duties, and may call upon the
Jack o. the dust when there is need OF
a strong arm. The. paymaster must,
however, give bond in many thousands,
and upon him devolves the purchase OF
stores when a ship is about to sail, and
from time to time in foreign ports upon
long cruises. The paymaster may also
be called upon in q semi-o official capacity
to advise Jack rs to the best .way Of
caring for his earnings, and it is no.
unimportant part of the paymaster's
duty to exercise caution in dealing
even with his brother officers, for naval
officers are not exempt from the COM
mon human frailty of running into
debt, and . paymaster of weak will or
too much good nature might easily be
persuaded to extend an officers credit

LAWSUIT IN PARIS.

An Ohicial Who Paid SEQ, 1000 for Calling

A most amusing lawsuit has just
taken place here, which has terminated

two or three other letters of the same
tenor, fell into the hands Of gang Of
blackmailers. who forthwith proceeded
to extort money from the old admiral
under the threat of publishing the con-.
tents Of these letters in some of the OBJ.
position papers. The admiral, who
held at the time the position OF perfect

why He Wasn't Cured.

Judge Brady, of New York, had been
off on sojourn to Europe by his physi-
clans order. His honor thoroughly en-
joyed the trip and on his return found
himself for the nonce financially en-
barrassed. He was sitting with a few
friends in the saloon on the steamer,
and as he neared home he turned to
them and said:

WILLOW AS A CROP.
Cutting Time Comes Once In Four Years,
but 1t Paws.

but It Pays.
In beautiful sweep of lowland
north of Melvale station, on the North
ern Central railroad, and about nine
miles from the city, there is peculiar
farm. 1t is peculiar in that it renders
to its owner and tiller but one crop in
four years, and thata crop Of willow
shoots.
The farmer, Antoine Spath, came
from Frankfort, Germany, many years
ago, and after erecting himself COM
Portable stone house, which still stands
in the midst of a picturesque clump of
willows at the end of the little valley.set
abOnt planting his first crop of willow
shoots. Every year since he has gone
on planting row after row, until the
valley has become covered with them.
Spath had learned the art of weaving
willow ware in his boyhood days by
the shores of the River Main, and as
fast as his little plantation grew he
gathered the shoots, stripped them Of
their green outer covering, and, after
drying them, woye baskets of every
conceivable form or size.
st seems rather peculiar work in
this country, . said the willow farmer,
in speaking of his business, "but in all
parts Of Europe, especially in the Ger
man provinces, it is a very common
thing to find willow plantations and
willow weavers, for there willow is
used in many forms and for greater
number of purposes than find it used
in this country. In Germany and
France willow is employed in making
at least twenty different sorts of bird
cages, while in America metal is used

laundresses, baskets and panniers to be
carried upon the backs of men and

I'm preparing the willow for the
weaver, we plant the slips in long rows,
parallel with running stream Of
water, and cut them when they have
attained four years Of growth. The
cutting time is early in the spring, be-
fore the sap is done running, and after
tying them in bundles they are placed
in ponds of water to keep them in q
green state until ready for stripping.
