Inspection and General Muster the
Bane OF a Sailors Existence.

To the average American bluejacket
the function known as Sunday inspection
and general muster is specimen of
elaborate nonsense that overtops all
others. On board commissioned man
of-war it takes place fifty-two times q
year, and takes precedence over every
thing else short of shipwreck, fire, or
some other disaster. The preparations
shat are made for il would lead an OBJ
server who is not familiar with the ways
of war vessels to think that il was a sort
of state affair that happened once in a
hundred years. They are begun Friday
night, when grease spots and stains on
the deck are coated with lime to render
them more susceptible to the influence
of the bolystone.
Saturday morning all hands are called
at early daylight and set to scrubbing
and holystoning the decks. When the
decks are white and clean, other wood
work, together with ladders, ramrods
handspikes, ETC., is attacked and scrub
bed into an immaculate whiteness. Af-
ter breakfast attention is given to the
brasswork of the deck and battery, and
both are polished until they are as bright
as cleaning gear can make them.
The day is generally occupied in touch
ing up spots with fresh paint where the
old has been worn off, and coating ca
bles, bits, and ringbolts with coal tar.
With the exception of the holystoning
the decks, the same performance is gone
through with Sunday morning. After
breakfast the crew array themselves In
their best suits of mastering clothes, the
marines put an extra coat of pipe clay on
their helmets n Il belts, and everybody
hides everything that belongs to hin
somewhere out of sight. Woe betid'
the luckless person who leaves any part
of his property lying around. 1t il
promptly confscated by the sailors nat
ural enemy, the master at arms, and the
owner is reported for the offence.
Finally the buglc sounds the call fol
inspection, and the crew muster in the
parts of the ship where they belong. Th'
commanding officer emerges from hi
cabin and, accompanied by his hrs
lieutenant and the officers of the deck
starts on tour of inspection, which
generally lasts about an hour. Quar-
ters' and general muster" follow. Th
'Articles of War" which every on
among the crew generally knows by rotc
are read by the executive officer. Tn
reading takes half an hour or so, AM
when it is concluded such general order
as may have been issued by the Nav
Department since the last muster ar
read. The Paymaster next takes tn
crew in hand and calls the name Of ever
person attached to the ship, who answer
with his name and rank. The entir
forenoon is occupied with these variou
matters, and the result is that Sunda
to the man % -warsman is a day of per
ance instead of a day or rest.

Mr.. Gladstone at Home.

When relieved from the affairs OF state,
Mr.. Gladstone finds no pleasure so great

his family are gathered together, and the

that went wrong in all Great Britain and

Disaster.

against the charge OF criminal destruction

neer whose recklessness gave the touch

The cass upon which the indictments
we're based was the accident on the Pitts

street crossing on Dec. 90 A crowded
horse car was permitted TO pass through
the gates, and before IL was half across the
tracks locomotive drawing construc-
tion train at a furious rate OF speed struck
It. The car was smashed and In the wreck
four persons lost their lives and many were
injured. Tho accident was so clearly
chargeable TO the carelessness of
the railway employees and 70 the
absolute recklessness OF public safety
countenanced by the management In
the running OF trains. that the States At
torney determined TO make the case a mat
ter OF grand jury investigation. The jury
heard the testimony and came TO the con-
clusion that the matter should te carried

dictment was found are that conclusive
evidence was presented to show that Mr.

road lines and that he was responsible for
the speed at which the trains we're run.

The Fish Industry.

Everybody knows that fishing is one of
the important industries of towns on the
coast, but it is question if any one has
a definite idea of what bountlful
mother the sea is to us. The Dominion
of Canada is particularly noted for Its
great fisheries, and the value OF the tish
drawn from the waters on its coast In one
year is about $12, 100000. This does
not include fish taken from the waters of
British Columbia, Manitoba or the North
west. If these be added nearly $50, OOO,-
600 will be the total. Another $780,
600, 600 will represent the trade done in
this country. In these figures the yields
from all branches of fisheries are given.
Splitting it up into items the largest
we have is the cod, the yearly yield being
about $6, 100000. Nova Scotia alone Sc.
cures 50 800, 900 of this and $1,000, 600
worth of mackerel. The cod is as Tar
ahead of mackercl as that fish is ahead
| of all the others.
The cod is an inhabitant of the tenn
| perate zone. He is found in great abund-
ancc off the Cape OF Good Hope, where
he nibbles freely at the baited hook
dropped from the sides of ships by sail
ors becalmed on their way home from
the East Indies. He also exists In
Australian waters, but his chief homes
are the Banks of Cape Breton shore and
some portions of the Bay of Fundy. He
is not particular about the bottom.
His chief care is to allay the cravings
of n capacious stomach, which is ready tC
accommodate itself to anything that turns
up without much discrimination. Ht
lies close to the bottom usually, awaiting
his prey, his dark back and sides scarce
ly discernible from the surrounding
rocks. and darts like fash upon any o
the smaller fry that are so unfortunate a
to come within his reach. If herring anC
similar fish be scarce he searches amoni
the stones for crabs, clans or other shell

whether Mr. Harrison would go to Califor-

his practice of law in Indianapolis He
would probably have adhered to this inten-
tion had not domestic afiictions changed
his plans. The annual trip to California
will be pleasant diversion for him. and
as his time there will not be spent
in idleness the place he has ac-
cepted will be particularly pleasing. He
will go to California in October TO deliver
his course and It is expected that he will
spend some time In sightseeing. His
salary has not been made public, but 1t
