THE SAILORS FIGHT
Japanese Likely to Figure In the San Francisco
Water Front War

SAN FRANCISCO, March 27.-The
Ship Owners Association is threatening
to bring new element of disturbance
into the sailors strike.
The boarding masters here have just
about exhausted their supply of non-un-
ion men. They are making arrangements,
it is said, to import several hundred Ja-
panese from the north to take the place
Of the striking sailors in the coastwise
trade. Japanese can probably be secured
for $25 month. while the union men are
demanding $35.
Though the strikers have caused no Sc
rious trouble thus far. the importation of
any considerable number OF Japanese
would undoubtedly stir up the lawless ele-
ment on the water front.

Ever Faithful to "Mars Tom"

Il saw pathetic instance at Green's
boro of a negro's fidelity said w. L..
Williams, a travelling man. About
ten miles from the town l saw grave
with marble slab at its head. Seated
near it was an old negro with bunch
of flowers which he was placing upon
the mound. l stopped my horse and
spoke to the darby. "' Whose grave is
that, uncle?' l asked. "Mars Toms,
boss. Pm his nigga "'Oh, no; you
are no mans Niger now. Didn't you
ever know that you were fret?'
" Dunno muffin bout dat, sab. Pse

81 was interested in the old fellow and
wanted to hear his story. The slab at
the grave told me that it was that of
Col. Tom VIM, killed at the bar of
Shiloh and l questioned the tai hlul
negro further: "'How old are you,
uncle?' "'Mos' hundred, l reckon,

The Romance of a Bullet.

An advertisement in one of the New
York daiies lately for lost watch
charm, consisting of bullet set In sill
yer, brought out little romance of the
eventful days of the siege of Paris. The
woman advertising tells the romance of
the bullet as follows: " When the siege
began, l, like number Of other Amer
lean women, offered my services as a
nurse. There were enough of us, am
proud 10 say, to maintain hospital of
our own. About the last of October
or the first of November, twenty -four
years ago, our ambulance drove up one
day to the tent over which had charge,
and they lifted handso ne young zou-
ave out of it. He had been shot in the
calf of the leg. The surgeons immedi-
ately laid him upon the operating cot
and began probing for the bullet. l
was bathing his head and trying to re-
lieve his pain. When they finally cut
the bullet out took it, washed it and, as
is customary, handed it to the wounded
man. With cheerful smile he said :
Won't you keep it, mademoiselle9
AS soon as | get we'll can go out and

promised that l would keep it and wear
it. had a silver band placed around
it, with three little silver chains, so

The Soldiers Knapsack.

In the matter of the knapsack, it's
average weight and in the obligation to
carry it, the American soldier of today
has decidedly the advantage over his
European brOther-in. arms. The latter
never thinks of throwing away his pack,
no matter what it's weight or the length
of the march. To do so means punish
ment, sudden and severe. The former
fires it bodily away the moment he
feels that he has carried it far enough,
preferring any punishment to making
a pack mule out of himself. Neverthe-
less the knapsack is very necessary
arti lie of the soldiers equipment, and
a great deal of time, experiment and
thought have been given to the perfec
ton of pack that will carry every
thing necessary and yet be, when
packed, of the minimum weight and
size. The knapsack as at present in
use in the service is simply water
proof canvas bag, supposed to contain
when packed one blanket, one COM
plete change of underclothing, two
pairs of stockings, one pair of shoes,
towel, soap, blacking-kit and comb.
To pack these articles properly the
blan ket is folded lengthwise so as to be
II inches wide. Roll tightly, leaving
10 inches unrolled, and place in the bag
until the roll is tight against the bot.
tom. Then fold the unrolled part I'M
til the fold is even with the opening of
the bag. The drawers, folded the same
width as the blanket, is placed next,
after which comes the undershirt. The
shoes are then placed, heels up and
soles out, between the folded blanket
and the side of the bag, one on each
side. Between the drawers and the
undershirt two pairs of stockings are
then placed so as to show the double
fold. The blacking-kit is then placed
above the undershirt and out of sight,
the toilet articles neatly disposed in the
pocket, the flap of the knspsack turned
down and buttoned, and the pack is
complete. There now remains the
overcoat, which when rolled is fastened
by straps on the top of the pack.
To secure uniformity the following
method of rolling the coat has been
adopted by the war department.: Turn
the left sleeve inside out; fold the coat
down the middle seam of the back,
right side out, front edges to the left,
and lay it fatty and smoothly on the
ground, tail away from the feet; pull
the cape out from under the coat and
spread it double; turn both tails OF
coat up about eight inches, the upper
one over and the lower one under; fold
the skirts in from both sides until they
just meet in the center, which will
make the roll just the width of the
knapsack. TIL fold the cape same
width as the coat, and beginning with
the cape roll up very tightly and as

Beds and Health.


AS we become more intelligent concern
ing the laws of health we are beginning
to realize that the single bed, designed
only for the occupancy of one person, is as
much a necessity for hygienic living as
toothbrush or "a napkin is for the individ-
ua use of every person. All the condi-
tions that make for health, for rest and
for refreshing sleep urge its use as pre-
caution against contagious diseases i'm
pure air and disturbed slumber If one is
setting up housekeeping and has all her
beds to buy, it will really cost little more
to buy two beds of enameled iron, or OF
brass and iron, than one of expensive
wood, even including the two mattresses
and two sets of springs that will be ncces-
sary. If one does not like these bedsteads,
the single or twin beds, rs they are
called, are to be had in great variety in
woods They are designed to occupy little
more space than the old fashioned double
bed and are usually placed in room side
by side and under one wide canopy, when
"a canopy is used. The canopy Is rarely
the old fashioned affair that shut out air
and held dust in the folds Of its heavy
drapery. 1t usually projects only over the
head of the beds and the curtains of wash
able material are draped far back, so that
they do little more than soften the iron
lines without interfering with the health
fulness Where two beds are used instead
of one 1t cannot be denied that more sheets
and more laundry work are necessary, but
In the end seeming extravagances often
prove ones real economies.-New York

Bread.

Mrs. Rorer is an ardent advocate
of the whole wheat -four. Bread, ,
she says, made from this flour not
only contains IS per cent more nour.
ishment than white bread, but it is
natures own remedy for dyspepsia
and kindred ailments, brought or
by excess of starch in white flour
bread. Apoplexy and Bright's disease
can be traced in many cases to ar
excessive use of starchy food. En-.
tire wheat bread is so rich in flavor,
palatability and nourishment that
only a few weeks regular use of il
suffices to make all other bread taste
fat, insipid and unsatisfying -

Making the World HOmelike.

In an address before the w. G. 7. L.
convention at Cleveland Miss Frances H.
Willard said:
Il remember that no one subject pua-
Zled or veXcd me more in my youthful
days than why it was that men could
range the whole world at their will and
then have the home besides, while wom-
en- did not have the world, but the
home only. l did not think this fair, and
l resolved to build in my life to help to
make the world so homelike that women
could freely go out into it everywhere side
by side, with men, and also to help bring
1t about that men should share in larger
measure than they have ever yet done in
the hallowed ministrations of the fireside
and the cradle side, through which, as be-
lieve, they are to reach their highest and
hottest development"

A Story Of Governor Curtin.

One of the best anecdotes of the late
Governor Curtin relates to sensation
he created in a Washington theater in
serving in the house. He was very
anxious to see Henry Irving, who was
then acting in that city, and he told his
wife and his daughter, Mrs. Wilson, to
90 to the theater, where he would meet
them after congress adjourned for the
day. lyon need not engage seat for
me- he said az they parted, Gas some
thing may arise that might prevent my
coming until the very last moment. |
can procure seat easily enough if |
do come" The house, however, stayed
in session on the river and harbor bill
until quite late, and when the governor
reached the theater there was standing
room only, and very little of that. He
wedged himself along one of the side
aisles, and unintentionally stopped in
front of some men who were perched
upon a window sill. One of them
touched Mr.. Curtin rather roughly on
the shoulder, and commanded him to
move aside. Governor Curtin looked
about, surprised, but before he could
explain, II big, double-fsted fellow of
herculean proportions, who was stand
ing close by, poin ed his enormous in
dex finger up at the three window-sill
ornaments, and Numbered out in stem
torian tones: "Say, do you know who
you are shovingp That's Ex-Governor
Curtin, our old war governor | " Then
turning 10 Mr.. Curtin he shouted, as
his face grew purple with indignation !:
Governor, Pm one of 'the boys
served under you, and nobody shall
shove you around where l am. Get
down off that window sill, you scoun-
drels," he yelled, "get down, quick |
Shall knock 'e n down ?" And he
jumped around like an Indian in his
excitement. By this time the men had
slid off the sill and the doorkeepers had
arrived. "Git the old gov .rnor good
seat" said the VI teran as he pulled out
large roll of greenbanks. "Git him
the best seat in the house," he con-
tinued in voice that silenced Mr. IT.
wings on the stage. There was pri-
vate box not yet occupied and the man.
ager of the theater was glad to rush
Mr.. Curtin into 1t and end scene that
was not on the programme. zone OF
tne boys, as ne Calleu hlmseli, luen
stationed himself IN the middle aisle
and for the rest of the evening gazed
intently into the private box at the old
war governor, who, during the melee
was unable to avoid the attention be
was receiving. 1t created more anus e.
ment and applause than any scene in
the play. Mr.. Curtin made futile ef'
forts to ascertain the name of his gal
liant Observation-Disclosures Times.
