AN OCEAN VOYAGE.
The Proper Fees to Pay on Board an
Atlantic Liner.

The Proper Fees to Pay on Board an
Atlantic Liner.
Fees are too indefinite to be regulated
by rule, but certain amounts are Gus
tomary at sea. The voyager, if he is
not seasick, is dependent for comfort
first on the table steward. To this man
1t seems to be the rule to give So 80 for
one, or So for two or three persons in "a
party, whether one is served in regular
courses or orders what he pleases from
the bill. Late suppers might increase
the fee.
Ones next best friend is the deck
steward, if he is attentive and has fol-
lowed out suggestions about the steam
er chair and rugs Sometimes one can
eat on deck when it is fatal to go below,
and then, IL the deck steward is oblig-
ing, he deserves the larger part of what
would go to the table steward in reg
ular course. II the weather is at all
fair, it is most agreeable to find ones
chair well placed and the rugs dry ev-
cry morning, especially if one is in
clined to seasickness. Moreover, this
steward is the one who continuously
brings sandwiches and broth Oh deck,
and, as he is obliged himself to fee the
cook 8 assistant to get these articles pre-
pared, 1T is clear that he should be well
remembered at parting, if any one is.
On many lines his pay, like that of
most OF the stewards, is not higher than
$l2 a month, and the company, on gen
eral principles, keeps back one third to
pay for breakage. Another third goes to
the cooks i'll fees. Where, therefore.
would he be without tips?-Lewis Nor.

THACkERAY AND GOETHE.
ehe NoveIist's First Interview With the
Great Poet.

In The Century there is an article by
Walter Vulpius, entitled "Thackeray at
Weimar. " The following is Thackeray' s
account of his first meeting with
| Goethe:
OF course | remember very we'll the
perturbation of spirit with which as a
lad of 10 | received the long expected
invitation that the Herr Geheimerath
would see me This notable audience
took place in little antechamber of
his private apartments, covered all
round with antique casts and as-reliefs.
He was habited in Il long gray drab red
ingote, with white neckcloth and
red ribbon in his buttonhole. He kept
his hands behind his back, just as in
Rauch's statuette. His complexion was
very bright, clear and rosy, his eyes ex-
traordinarily dark, piercing and bril-
liant fancied Goethe must have
been still more handsome as an old man
than even in the days of his youth. His
voice was very rich and sweet He ask

answered as best | could.

time beautiful little golden haired

face the earth has long since closed. |
Alma Won Goethe died at the age of IL |
years while on visit in Vienna in |
1914.
Though his sun was setting, the sky |
round about was calm and bright, and |
hat little Weimar was illumined by it.
IN every one of those kind salons the talk
vas still of art and letters. At the court
he conversation was exceedingly friend
y, simple and polished. The grand
uchess, a lady of very remarkable en-
owments, would kindly borrow our
looks from us and graciously talk to

OLD CHUM OF GRANT.
A PRIEST WILL BE CONSPICUOUS AT
THE MEMORIAL EXERCISES.

Father DsshOn's Picturesque Career-H'
Roomed with Grant at West Point ano

Down His Gun and Took Holy Orders.
A priest will be one of the most pic
turesque figures at the bier of the great
soldier
Roommate of Grant at West Point
and his companion IN arms in war sol
der while the land was torn with strife
and missionary when the clamor of bat
tie was stilled, the Rev. Father Deshon
has been deemed worthy to receive a
special invitation TO be present at the
dedication ceremony ON April %.
The somber garments of the warrior
priest will single him out among the
weareIs of bright uniforms and nodding
plumes who will march in honor of the
dead His white matched head will be
bent in mingled sorrow and pride that
will be as purely personal as the feel

hero
For the man who is now renowned as
a Paulist priest loved his friend, the
man who was 10 carve with his sword a
fame far greater than his own. He was
one of the star members of Grants
class in the military academy, and the
two youths were the closest and most
confidential of friends
They were the more drawn TO each
other because they differed in tempera-
ment Grant was ever the man of ac-
ton, Deshon the man Of thought |
Grant, who early showed his genius for |
the handling of great bodies of armed |
men, was assigned TO the infantry corps |
after graduating. Deshon, who knew no
rival in the scientific branches of the
military curriculum, was commissioned
in the engineering corps, whence he
was afterward transferred TO the ord
nance department.
Deshon's career as a priest began
when his career as a soldier ended. But
whether as soldier or priest he retained
the love of the man whom his country
men had learned to adore.
Father Deshon is full of interesting
of Grants life at West
Point. Whenever sorely troubled by
some difficult mathematical problem,
Grant always sought the assistance of
his chun, Deshon, and when the latter
could not master a technical military
question it was 10 Grant he went for aid.
Father DeshOn joined the PauliSt or
Ter shortly after resigning from the
army. He is now one of the oldest active !
preachers i'll the society. He is per-
talker, man of great and va I

was Being Lifted.

New York. March 22.-The Crom-
well line steamer Creole, which arrived
to-day, reports that a boat belonging to
the Vile de st. Nazaire. was picked up
with six dead bodies in it. When the
steamer got alongside of the boat. it
was seen that she contained six bodies
in a heap. Hosting the boat so as to
empty some of the water, the bodies
were washed out and sank. The boat
contained some clothing, mostly sea-
mems trousers and jumpers, two wo-
mems shoes of different patterns,
child's sock. a nipple to a nursing bot
tie. part of a bottle of soothing syrup,
and some claret bottles containing fresh
water. There was also quite a guam
tity of French bread, and two case
knives.
There is some question as to one of
the bodies being that of woman. Diff
ferent persons who saw 1t having differ

The survivors of the wrecked steamer
Vile de St. NaZarie, who were brought
to this port. are having a hard struggle
to regain their health. Captain Berri,
Surgeon Marie and Engineer Sauts are
still confined to their rooms in the Hotel
Martin. Their condition is somewhat
improved. Progress is also reported in
the condition of the surviving passen-
ger, Juan Tejada.
