WASTE ON OCEAN LINERS.

A man who came ove on q recent
trip of the big Cunarder Campania.
being Of an inQuiring turn OF mind,
used his eyes and ears to good adj
vantage all the way, and he expressed
to a reporter the most unqualified
amazement at the constant wholesale
waste Of valuable material. II don't
think so much Of the stewards selling
saloon fare to the steerage," he said 70,
a writer for the st. Louis Post-Dis-
patch, because the food would b0
thrown overheard anyway, and the
stewards, or '1unkieS,' as the Seamen
call them, may as well make something
Of it if they can. Their pay Is small,
so the transaction results in substan-
tial benefit to them. A great many
persons come over in the steerage be-
cause they don't care what their accom-:
modations are so long as they get good
food, and they are pretty sure of being
able to buy that from the stewards.
OF course, it isn't the square thing to
do, but what I wondered the most az
was the utter disregard for the ships
outfit. 49,
For instance, a steward would take
down to the steerage a dozen dishes and
plates of choice food in a large bucket.
carefully covered, SO the contents would
not be seen. OF course the bucket
contained silver forks, spoons, knives
n very often silver vegetable and
dessert dishes and individual Chocolate
and coffee pots. When the food was
eaten the china and silver went back
to the bucket and the whole business
was quietly dropped into the refuse
chute and down into the sea. I've seen
as many as ten buckets taken down
by the same number of stewards three
or four times q day throughout q trip
and In every case the crockery, silver
ware and bucket went overheard. You
may take my word for 1t that anything
a steward carries below never geta
back to its proper quarters a~gain-not
only because Of the risk Of detection.

SUGGESTIONS OF THE SEA

Signs That Terrify Jack Tar Who
Believe in Witchcraft.
A sense Of %unreality, weirdness and
sometimes of uncanny feeling actuates
nearly every one connected with the
sea, this being particularly strong on a
moonlight night, when the water Of the
ocean looks more cruel, If, withal, more
beautiful than at any other time, says
the Boston Transcript. Then it Is that
a ring around the moon is frequently to
be observed, and the sailors believe
that this Is a sure sign of bad weather,
while Longfellow, In his Golden
Legend" interprets it thus:
II pray thee put in yonder port,
For I fear a hurricane;
Last night the moon had a golden ring,
And tonight no moon we see"
We have often noticed how quaint
the fsher-folks are who live in solitary
places near the ocean, and this is true
to a greater or less extent Of all dwell
ers by the sea. It is believed on Cape
the New England coast that q sick man
cannot die until the ebb tide begins to
run. Watchers by beds of sickness
anxiously note the change Of the tide,
and il the patient lives until the turn,
he will live until the next ebb. The
best educated and most intelligent peo-
pie on the New England coast are not
entirely free from this superstition, and
to them there is a vivid meaning in
Dickens description Of the death Of
Barkis, "And it being high water, he
went out with the tide"
The belief that the ninth or tenth
wave was more powerful than the 9TH
ers has existed since Oyid's time, who
says: 'aThe wave that is now coming
O'ertOps all the others; it's the wave
that comes after the ninth and before
the tenth" Even nowadays at the sea-
shore you will hear people counting the
waves and saying that the next n
will be the biggest. Fishermen on our
own coast think that the swell some
times noticed during a fog is caused by
1t, and they call it the fog-swell; while
In reality it is simply the incoming tide;
but fog is associated with such terrible
disasters in the minds of fishermen that
it Is little wonder it is believed to have
power to raise the waters Of the sea.
Woman, though bringing good luck
to man on land, is proverbally the oppo-
site on the sea, and at a certain place
the waters Of the ocean are. reputed to
enrage themselves at the sight Of q
woman. Storm-raising witches are
quite well known in New England.
There was Polly Twitchell, who lived
in Casco Bay In the seventeenth CEN

wreck ships, and put to sea in severe
gales. Goody Cole, In Whittier's
Wreck Of Rivermouth,' . prophesies dis
aster. The skipper says:
Tn scary always to see her shake
Her wicked head"
The ballad ~recounts that she was
jeered at by the pleasure party, and in
revenge predicted the loss OF the boat-
which occurred soon after.
