FOOD ABOARD A WARSHIp.
The Same Is Provided for Every Man
ms That Which Goes to the
AdmiraFs Table.

A man who has just returned from a
visit to United States warship, on
which his son is stationed, complains
of the food dealt out to the men, and
adds that it is not as good as served
on the officers tables. AS several hun.
dred Chicago boys are now serving
their country aboard warships their
friends at home. may be interested in
knowing the nature of their food.
Every man aboard a government
ship receives the same amount and
class of food, be he landsman or an
admiral. Its financial equivalent is
nine dollars per month, and no au-
thority below an act of congress can
change the quantity, unless in emer
gency cases, when the captain may or
der short rations. The bill of fare at
sea for one week includes salt pork,
beans, picked beef or salt horse"
as it is known on shipboard, bareback,
coffee, sugar, pickles, salt, pepper,
-four, raisins, vinegar and molasses.
So many ounces are dealt out to each
man, and if he ever goes hungry it is
from some other cause than INSULT
cheney of food.
Each mess has it's own cook, usually
a landsman, who, besides being re.
lieved from deck duty, receives his own
board free by having his rations com.
muted, that is, drawing nine dollars a
month instead of the ships provisions,
If he be handy at cooking he is usually
given the money equivalent of an ex-
ira ration and sometimes ration and
half.
Breakfast will consist of "scouse,' -
or bread hash, which is very palatable:
good coffee, with sugar, but no milk
bareback, or set biscuits, which are
made of the best flour and in taste and
| hardness resembles the Bent water
crackers. At noon there is plenty of
| good pork and beans, bean soup, coffee,
| pickles, bareback and such extra
dishes as the cook can prepare with
his limited means. Supper consists of
/
soups, hashes, ETC., with bread and
coffee and pickles on the side.
The other foodstuffs first mentioned
are served on other days. Fresh bread
is always on hand if the cook knows
how to make it, and he generally
learns. Duff, puddings and like dishes
are served with molasses. When the
ship is in port fresh beef, potatoes,
vegetables of all kinds are served three
times a week
If man could always have as good
food as the American man-of- warsman
gets he could count himself fortunate
He would grow fat and never know the
pangs of indigestion.-Chicago Even

The southern darkies are a constant
source of amusement, when they are
not the cause of unmitigated wrath,
to the northern people who go down
there among them. The other day a
young northern woman, living in
Washington and possessed of deep
and abiding antipathy for flies, COM
planned to Lucinda, the colored sery-
ant, that there were good many OF
the pests in the house.

severely, chow all these flies could get

Down in Mississippi, in one of the
lumber towns, which is owned by
northcrners, the house servants and
some of the laborers are darkies, They
are not very strict in their notions OF
law and order, and they have theil
own and very lax ideas along the line
of matrimony. Wives and husbands
are snapped off with such freedoms
and frequency that it is rather hard
to keep track Of the exact contempt

groes at a given time. The coloreC
people have solved the delicate point
of expressing exact relationship by
avoiding the subject of matrilnony al

"She stood than like horse lookin
