Of battle ship OF a frigate were excep-
tional mon in this way, aud much more
so perhaps just about the time thas sail
power was receiving it's death warrant
than ever before. These young men had
to race aloft to nearly the highest points,
at top speed, eight or ten times week
when the ship was in harbor, to keep
their heads and maintain their breath
while holding ON by their eyelids," as
the phrase went, and manipulating
with a careful and measured order Of
action thevarious and intricate arrange
ments for crossing or sending down"
the royal and topgallant yards. II was
all done at full speed, for it was uni
versally held that the upper yardmen
gave character to the whole ship and
that one which was foremost in this ex-
ercise was ever considered "the smart
est ship in the feet -" The upper yard
men were always the coming men. They
had most opportunities for distinguish
ing themselves, were the best known,
and were most under the eye Of the au-
thorities They developed great muscu-
lar power in chest, shoulders and arms
Their lower extremities suffered, and
one always knew the men who had been
upper yardmen by their tadpolelike ap-
pearance when they were bathing.
But in the modern steam line of bat
tic ship and frigate these extremely ath-
letic specimens formed a very small
minority Of the "ship's company, and
none of them could lose his turn at be-
ing upper yardman so long as the ships
reputation depended ON the speed with
which the upper yards were crossed and
sent down. In harbor the rest Of the
bluejackets had the handling Of yards
and sails for exercise ouco or twice q
week. but at sea the use Of sails for pro-
pulsion grew less and less important.
and most Of the work aloft was more Of
an exercise and less Of a necessity.

ceived every mark Of Difference from the

France at least 1000 watches In his

Very curious also was the experience
Of a former inspector general Of customs
here. During visit to Geneva ho bought
a clock and instructed the vonder to for
ward Il only when he had informed him
Of his return to Paris, adding that no
must be careful to pay the duty. One Of
the first things that he noticed en- his
arrival at his home was this identical
timepiece in his drawing room, and in
reply to his questions his coachman ex-
planned that the tradesman had himself

Making Table In = Day-Tho balls Sea-
soned In Inoubators.
A billiard table can be built in "a
hours If carte blanche is given to the
manufacturer, but he prefers to have
time to get the right effects from one
month to six. The wood needs to be sea-
soned for a period of nearly seven years
Rich, deep Spanish mahogany is used,
pollard cak, ebony and satin wood.
Tables are not always covered IN
green. Blue is sometimes used and a
pure olive green. The late Prince Leo
pold was the first to make use Of tho
latter color, and olive green is known
today in the billiard world as Prince
Leopold's color.
The balls must be we'll seasoned be-
fore they are used for play. Manufac-
turers have incubators in which to store
them that they may undergo the drying
process. Some incnbntors will hold fully
5000 balls. When they arc first made,
they are green. Solid ivory is the
only satisfactory material Of which 20
make them; artificial balls" (those
made Of composition) are much heavier
and do not wear we'll. English makers,
TO give the red balls a perfect color,
steep them in a decoction that is some
times described as the "guardsman's 3

coats Of Tommy Atkins, and for bill

The Rev. DR.. A. D. Mayo, in a re-
cent interesting address, quoted James
Walker, former president Of Harvard,
as saying, "The Grafton will die with
Mr.. Robert @. Winthrop" But the ora
tion in no sense died with Mr.. Win
throp. What is more, tho oration, we
may be sure, will never dio until hu-
man nature is fundamentally different
from what it is at present It is the
fashion nowadays to meer at eloquence.
One might as we'll sneer at music or
poetry. Walkers reference to Winthrop
was fine, considered as a compliment.
Taken literally, it will not hold water.
1t recalls an assertion made by Mr..
Howells a few years ago that the stories
had all been told. In fact, hasty gem
eralizers are always with us. People are
more critical than they used to be, they
are more easily bored, they have less
time for anything than they ever had
before, Nevertheless the man with a
genius for oratory, the man who has
something to say aud who knows how
to say it--who can cay it with a silver
tongue-is perennial. he will always
command an audience. Boston Com
