ALONE ON A GREAT VESSEL
The Dreary Duties OF the shipkeeper In
New York Harbor.

New York Barbor.
One of the most lonesome, and to q
landsman the most disagreeable,
places which sailor may Til is that
Of ships keeper. Every ght, as the
shadows around the South street
piers in New York begin TO deepen
and the swirling currents OF the
East River change from greenIsh-
brown 10 dull, grimy black, men may
be seen climbing up the companion
ways OF the trim American sh ps and
the more or less untidy foreign ones.
These men are called keepers One
OF them steps over the rail OF a big
clipper and looks carefully about the
deck. After few words of instruc-
tion the skipper goes ashore and
leaves the Big, black, lonesome hulk
TO the keepers care. ..""
All over the ship from stem to
stern, goes the keeper Into all the
dark places away up under the fore
castle deck. up one side and down the
other, looking after the fastening OF
the lines leading TO the pier, he goes,
with his eyes trained To see in the
darkness almost rs clearly as cat
can, and sometimes with cat for
company. A sharp lookout IS needed,
for, In spite OF all the vigilance OF
the police, there are some river
thieves yet left on the New IoIE
waterfront
If il is pleasant night. so mach
the better There is ALWAYS a. little
l q. ..S l. Il l..A. Of
night is lightened by the lamps on
shore and the hum OF the citys never
ending noises. But when the clouds
gather and the wind begins TO puff,
and the sound OF the flowing tide" is
increased by the Flap lap" OF Iittle
waves. then comes the weary part OF
the nights business Gently nc first
but with constantly increasing vol
June, comes the snow The wind be
gins TO whistle through the taut
rigging, the lights gradually become
less plain, the passing Ola ferry boat
is known only by the noise IL makes
and with his oiled coat and SOU
wester buttoncd on and down, the
keeper makes hurried trip to . the
pier TO see that his lines are fast,
There they are tense and rigid as
fiddle strings. Then back on deck
he goes TO cover matches with tar
paulins shut all doors crouch Under
the weather rail and 'let her blow"
Blow she does, and the whistle IN the
rigging changes TO shrill piping as
though a gigantic A olian harp were
suspended In the air over his head.
The high sides of the ship feel the
force OF the gale and she tugs and
strains as II full OF life and trying 10
escape from bondage. '.H &C.
But IL will not DO TO stay under
the sheltering rail for long. Up and
out again, for on nights like this the
'longshore pirates" love TO do their
work, and sharp knife and a swift
cut may mean few fathoms OF
hawser for the thief and unknown
damage to the ship, since Junk shops
are not particular and there IL an
other pier only rod or SO away.
So IL goes all through the night,
and when morning comes and the
shore people appear ready for work
they lind the tracks OF the keeper in
every part OF the ship where snow
has settled, and up and down the
pier, mute but indisputable evidence
that II anything is wrong II is some
thing the presence OF the keeper
could not prevent.

A Hint To katherine Men.

The enormity Of the butterine fraud
can hardly be imagined by those not
familiar with the statistics in the
hands OF the revenue collector who IS
expected 10 enforce the butterine
laws or course the rapidity with
which the stock yard packers are en-
abled TO pile up their millions OF ill
gotten gains Is some evidence OF the
competition which the honest dairy
men are compelled TO meet The
National Dairyman expresses a wish
TO give a pointer TO the poor butter
inc makers, who only realize about
800 per cent. gross on their product
Take pound OF medium creamery
butter, one pound OF whole sweet
milk and teaspoonful OF black pep
sin or caustic soda, or any other OF
the numerous fraudulent butter 'in-
creasers" and little good butter
color; churn Them all together, and
you will get two pounds OF nice
LOOKING compound that you could
pass on poor Judge OF butter as
1.-THE finest creamery" All the water
and casein and mineral ash that was
in the pound OF milk is also in the
two pounds OF compound. DO not let
IL stand over week, for IL you do
the taste and smell OF IL would para
I'VE a man with an iron tongue and
a celluloid nose.
Take one fourth OF this lovely-look-
ing compound and mix IL with three
fourths OF your lovely compound OF
hog fat and bull tallow, and yoI will
have bulky and beautiful brand OF
"noly terror butterine," which, II
sold quickly and swallowed whole 10y
the greedy mu titudes, will make you
a profit Of 400 per cent! Ii this
pointer TO you butterine makers Is a
little backward in coming forward,
and you were already ''onto the
racket" years and years ago. we beg
your pardon.

DOCTOR HOBART.

From a story by Edward w. Flags. in the
New England Magszine.l
Elsie Hobart was just trife hot

the little cottage preparing an early
breakfast. Her husband had been
out of work over month and she
had been obliged TO support him and
the children sewing day and night,

ened. She thought Of her wedding

Hullo, Bob Wren,
Are you back again?
Glad 10 see you 60 well and so merryi
Fear we're here
Rather early this year.
Dear, bat wishd ! q bite OF a cherry
just ripe in the south.
Melt in your mouth
Weren't you sorry 10 leave the sunny
Land OF bloom, and Of bees and honey?
BY and by here twill be bright and jolly
With bud and blossom, but somehow now
The atmosphere seems melancholy.
For there's not a leaf on u single bough,
And the wind, oh, how IL makes YOU shiyer
And long for the balny air that blows
That blows he reeds that culver
Above some river
That warm in tloridian sunlight howsl
Have you any new songs TO sing this season?
And do YOU know where you are going to stop
We've taken rooms in the very top
OF THE Maple'-prices quite within reason
You've a fat nearby that youy leased till fall
How nice! Then surely you'll came and call.

The only difficulty about growing
sorghum in place OF fodder corn for
fall feeding is that its seeds are very
small, aud the early growth OF the
plant is slow. But when IL once gets
a start IL grows much faster than
will corn. 1t Is also deeper rooted, and
when droughts come that wither corn
leaves, the sorghum grows all the
faster. Stock, and especially milk
cows. are extremely fond OF it, and
will eat sorghum stalks In preference
TO corn. 1t is good plan To have
some sorghum planted for fall feed,
as nearly every year much OF the
fodder-corn crop is shortened 10y

waited early. After IL gets TO grow

New Forage Crop.

The Michigan experiment station
has been experimenting with spurry
as a manurial plant for sandy soils,
and as fodder plant, especially for
cows and sheep Its report says
spurry has shown wonderful produc-
tiveness, and It's value as manurial
D ant on light soils Is pronounced.
When plowed under II seems To en-.
rich the soil the most rapidly OF all
the plants used. 1t yields great
amount Of forage, and is profitable
crop TO feed stock. The soil for
spurry requires the same preparation
as for clover. The seed may be sown
and narrowed in the same manner as
clover. From six TO eight quarts OF
seed should be sown an acre. This
thick seeding will give an even field
OF fine pasture, and heavy crop Of
cut hay. When desired TO- hay IL
should he cut as millet is-after the
seed has fully formed, but before it
has ripened. The seed terminates
quickly, and II the weather Is warm
the fields will begin TO show green on
the third day from sowing. IL IS
ready for moving for hay In about
six weeks, or will ripen its seed in
two weeks longer. 1t is in the best
condition for pasture in four TO six
weeks after sowing, though it can be
utilized much sooner II needed. IL
makes excellent pasture for cows, al
though they will sometimes refuse TO
taste it at first; but, having once
tried il, they will leave the best
clover pasture in order TO return 10
it. The crop seems especially adapted
TO light or dry soils, and will prove
OF much value on soils where a catch
OF clover can be easily procured

II is good sign that owners OF money
are moving about 10 search Of profitable
investments. Idle money in London and
New York banks draws no interest, and
oven wealthy men must have income.
They do not want 20 consume their ac-
cumulations. Henry Clews a Co, the
New York bankers, say in their last cir
cular:
"Ihe confused increase in British
trade and the active speculation on the
London exchange are accepted as clear
evidence Of a new era Of confidence and
enterprise in Great Britain. The sus-
pension OF new creations Of corporate
capital for the last two or three years
has resulted in a real scarcity Of invest
ments. and prices Of certain kinds OF Sc
curities are becoming abnormally high.
Alert bankers and promoters are on the
lookout first for bargains 10 existing
issues, and next for opportunities FOR
new enterprises. London agents are
now in this country prospecting for bus
mess of t1.1 kind. They are likely 10
find plenty Of chances growing out OF
the very marked curtailment OK railroad
construction during the last four or five
years. Schemes OF that character are
now in process Of formation; and, a. a
later stage, European capital is likely to
have its opportunity for participating in
their fruition. Evidence as yet beneath
the surface indicates that, SO soon as
pending obstructive legislation is out Of
the way and business has resumed its
normal course, there will be a launching
Of new enterprises that will give EN-
ployment to the large amount Of nov
idle home capital and Of the same time
attract active cooperation from foreign
money centers. IL therefore would not
be surprising il, twelve months hence,
We find the United States and Europe

OF these tendencies become gradually
