THE AMERICAN SAILOR.
Sacky Has Become a Specialist and Credit
to the Navy.

to the Navy.
Jacky, who used to be more sailor
than gunner, is now more gunner than
sailor. Just i'll proportion as he has
ceased to be part Of the great engine
on which he lives, so he has come more
and more into the control of it, and as
the cardinal purpose of warship is to
hit things with her projectiles Jacky
has become specialist in getting that
work out of her. He does it in two
places-at the guns and at the engines.
Correctly pointed guns are of no use
unless the platform ON which they rest
is put in proper relation to the thing to
be hit and kept there. Equally it is use
less to get the ship into proper place
unless the guns are correctly pointed.
Men who can do either of these things
must have natural capacities and be sus-
Ceptible to education, and only men Of
this sort are eligible for our navy
Accordingly the "beach comber," or
the rock Scorpion" or any other va
riety of that ruck of marine refuse
which drifts around the great maritime
ports and ships i'll any craft where
grub" is plenty and work light, no
longer sings his hammock on Uncle
Sans berth deck, as he used to do, to
the shame of the service, in years gone
by. Nor can the tramp nor the jailbird
nor even the incorrigible black sheep Of
the family thus be provided for, to the
relief of constables and long suffering
relatives. No man or boy can now pass
~
unless he is clean, healthy, honest,
young, strong and intelligent, nor can
he afterward get that advancement,
which is certainly open to him without
fear or favor, unless he continues to
show aptitude and ability.-Park Ben

Must Cater For Custom.

The trouble with normal schools is not
wholly internal. was the third party i'll
d conversation between Il normal school
principal and visiting school executive
from another state. The latter was giving
the principal some unsolicited advice upon
how to conduct his normal school When
the adviser had finished, the principal re-
piled:
Il agree to a great deal of what you say,
but if l should follow your advice this
normal school would soon be without pu-
pills If should carry out your views, a
particular superintendent, who usually
takes eight or ten of our graduates, would
look through our school and tell me that
he was obliged to do his shopping at an
other store. He wants a teacher who can
do things just so and so. 1t would be the
same with other supcrintendents, and pu-
pills would soon find this poor place from
which 10 seek positions. Frederic Burk

ARMY AND NAVY GUNS.
A Vast Difference In the Number of Men
Required to Handle Them.

A Vast Difference In the Number of Men
Required to Handle Them.
The number of men required to man
naval guns Of the British, French, Ger
man and American navies is about the
same, although the French are under
stood to have more men as rule for
some of the larger guns.
For the inch and 8 inch all services
require four men to work each piece;
for the 6 inch, six men are needed, and
for the 10, IL and IS inch the same
number.
AS nearly all our 8, 10, 10 and IS
inch guns are used in pairs and mount
ed in turrets the IL men working them
are protected by heavy plates Of steel.
For the little l Founders three men are
necessary to work them rapidly, and
for the 3 Founders and 6 Founders four
men are assigned, and for the Hotchkiss
three men.
Treble the number of men seem to be
required to work the same caliber of
guns in our coast defense system, al
though there is no special reason for
this, unless it be due to the fact that
the army guns are mounted on disap-
pearing carriages and are not provided
with turrets, which naturally limits the
space Of the operators. An army s inch
gun takes Is men to work it; 10 inch
gun requires Is men, and IL inch
gun, the largest now constructed by tho
army, calls for 81 men.
1t will be seen, therefore, that a Is
inch naval gun is operated by six men,
while an army gun of one inch less cali
Der calls for 81 men. The navy gun can
be fired just as rapidly with its six men
as the army gun can be fred with its
larger number.-Boston Herald.

One Of the many strange sights on
the plains of southern Africa is party
of waltzing ostriches- Their queer an
tics have been described thus:
"When there are number of them,
they will start off in the morning and
after running few hundred yards will
stop, and with raised wings will whirl
rapidly round till they are stupefied or
perhaps break leg. The males pose
also before fighting and to make their
court. They kneel on their ankles,
opening their wings and balancing
themselves alternately forward and
backward or to one side or the other,
while the neck is stretched on a level
with the back and the head strikes the
sides, now on tho right, now on tho
left, while the feathers are bristliug.
The bird appears at this time so absorb
ed in its occupation as to forget all that
is going on around him and can be APP
preached and caught. The male alone
utters a cry, which sounds much like
an effort to speak with the mouth shut
tight. "

VISITING A SHRINE.
lieutenant Rawlinson's Daring Entry Int
the Sacred City of Kun.

lieutenant Raw1inson's Daring Entry Into
the Sacred City of Kun.
Kun, walled city of Persia, ranks
second to Meshed in sanctity, on ac-
count of the famous shrine of Masuma
Fatima, sister of the Imam Ria, a IA
NOUS saint of the Mohammedans.
While Lieutenant Rawlinson was on
his way to Teheran he heard much of
this sacred city and the glories of the
shrine, which, it was said, no Euro
pean had ever entered. Death, so rumor
whispered, would be the portion of the
audacious infidel who should be discov-
cred within its precincts.
Toa young and ardent spirit danger
GUS adventure is an irresistible attrac-
ton. Young Rawlinson determined to
visit the shrine. Disguised as Persian
pilgrim, thousands of whom annually
journey to the sacred city, he Joined the
crowd of pilgrims. His knowledge OF
Persian and of the customs Of the coun-
try enabled him to pass undetected
through the temple gates and to make
his way to the tomb of the saint. The
guardian gave him the customary form
of words and he repeated them.
But his curiosity almost caused his
detection. Attracted by magnificent
suits of steel armor which hung on the
walls, he was gazing at them, when
suddenly he found that he had turned
his back upon the sacred shrine where
in the saint was entombed.
A thrill of alarm startled him, but
the discourtesy, impossible to TRUE
believer" had not been noticed. If il
had been, there would probably have
been no further career for the young
lieutenant, who subsequently became
the decipherer of Assyrian and Babylo
MAN inscriptions and texts, and died the
renowned orientalist, Sir Henry Raw
linson.-Youth's Companion.

INSULTEO ONLY HIS HAT.
A Duel Which Didn't Take Place Between
Houssaye and Sherbette.

Houssaye and his wife once went to the
ball of the Hotel de Vile with Victor
Hugo and Nine. Hugo. When they en-
tered the dancing hall, there were very few
vacant chairs. Upon one that Houssaye
noticed there was merely mans hat He
took up the hat and gave the chair to
Nine. Hugo; then, not wishing to hold
the hat the rest of the evening, he put it
on the floor Its owner soon came back.
He was a celebrated duellist, deputy, NJ.
Sherbette. He walked straight up to tho
chair, saw his hat on the floor and turned
savagely to Houssaye:
SIS it you, sir, who have removed my
hat?" he said.
Yes" said Houssaye.
did you put it on the floor?"
Eyes. Do you think l ought to have
put it on my head?'
"Sir, you have insulted me. Here is
my card"
Houssaye in turn took out card and
threw it into the hat
Sir" said the deputy furiously, "do
you suppose 1 am going to pick up that
hat?"
Sir" answered Houssaye, "do you
suppose 1 am going to put it on your
head?"
~ require, SIR" said the deputy, "that
you replace my hat on the chair where it
was
Houssaye merely laughed, and finally
the deputy, under pretext of looking at tho
card that had been thrown into the hat,
picked the hat up.
M. Houssaye, he said, 1--WE are from
the same town, a reason more for our
meeting"
Il await your seconds, said Houssaye.
Within 10 minutes four seconds had been
found, and it was decided that there
should be a duel with pistols at 90 PAGES
in the Bots dc Boulogne at daybreak or as
soon as the ball was over Accordingly
after spending the rest of the night dane
ing principals and seconds met in the
cloakroom ready to proceed to the dueling
ground.
1T is nuisance, said one of the depu-
tvs seconds, Ito have to go to the Bots in
this snowstorm.
Come" said the other to his princi-
pal, las you are the injured party you can
apologize.
'Neyer!" said the deputy.
The seconds then went to Houssaye.
Say one word to free us from this task
We want to go to bed"
"NeverP' said Houssaye.
He thereupon damned on his hat with
a slant over the right ear, the deputy jam
med on his with slant over the left, and
they were ready to start. At this juncture
Hugo, who wanted to go home with his
wife, interposed.
"After all, +" he said, at think that Ar
sene Houssaye, having insulted only NJ.
Sherbette's hat, might make an apology
to it,
The deputy paused.
"If Arsene Houssaye declares" he said,
"that in offending my hat he did not mean
to offend me, will be satisfied with his
declaration
Houssaye promptly assured the deputy
that he had not aimed at him under his
hat, and the duel was at an end.-Ex

upon the brave boys in blue thicker than bulle.S could be poured i- by any foe; tears coursed down the cheeks of staid citizens and proud danes until 1t seemed as though there must be sud- den collapse of the enthusiasm. But it only grew with the advance of the recipients.
 Proudly the men sped along, scarce looking to right or left, and never break except when a hand was stretched forth to receive from by stander-sometimes little school girl, again a richly gowned woman-a bunch of flowers Then the muZzle of the sol diers muSket was called upon to do duty as a vase, and by the time Market street was reached almost every piece in the command was thus adorned.
 Wilder grew the enthusiasm and more furiously rained the blossoms as the column neared Golden Gate avenue where the crowds were densest. It would be marvel if the soldier who less than an hour before had kissed wife and babes good-by at the Presido should not for the mo- ment forget the tear-Stained faces he had left behind and exult at the pa triotic demonstration over him.
 While riding down Van Ness avenue at the head of his regiment Colonel Miles was captured by a band of maidens. who decked his charger with magnificent wreath of roses. For a moment the old hero's lip quivered and his gantleted hand made a sudden dash across his eyes. He could only bow his acknowledgements as he re- sumed his march. A short distance further the colonel was halted again. this time by handsome little fellow of 8 or years, 10, perched upon his fathers shoulder, held a beautiful silken flag which he pressed into the warriors hand. A careSsing pat on the cheek in return and again the colonel pressed on. carefully tucking the em- blem in his breast. These were only a few of the incidents; it would require a page to tell all.
 Golden Gate avenue contained al- most as great a crowd as the wider thoroughfare, and so congested was the street that police, cavalrymen and in fantrymen were obliged to break into column of fours. The cheers swept down the street ahead of the troops like a mighty wave. telling those on Market street that the men they had gathered to pay homage to were com ing.
 From Golden Gate avenue to the ferries Market street was packed all most from curb to curb with a mass of patriotic humanity that waited patient ly for the moment to arrive to give demonstrative greeting to the little

canvas leggings, while the roll of blan- kets. canteen, haversack and other ac- couterments did not add to the sym metry of the lines. The dress parade soldier had disappeared and in his place marched the countrys defender, fully panCplied for war.
 He was admired before; yesterday he was loved-yes, worshiped. Where it was well-bred applause then, it WAS cheering continuous and deafening from one end of the street to the other now. And the cheers were not confined to the children. Men swung their hats. canes, handkerchiefs, and yelled like demons; women, from the bewitching bud to the whitened grandmother, cast all restraint to the winds, and. nav Jap, for the first time in their lives, gave full vent to their emotions.
 Looking down the avenue to Gv.den Gate from the crest of the hill at Jack son street, the sight wcs thrilling be- yond description. Myriads of tiny flags f1uttered in the breeze, while from the buildings either side far out into the street was a solid mass of people, a narrow passage way down the center alone being kept clear for the men. With the appearance of the police a cheer arose that swelled into a roar when the cavalry escort forced it's way through the multitude and grew still louder in volume as the gliStening lines of muskets swept over the hill like successive pillows on the sea.
 Banners waved from every window and in almost every hand; flowers fell

ton as they passed down the line. It was a suggestive incident, showing the feeling that has Quickened the public pulse and made possible such demon- Stration as that witnessed yesterday. A conspicuous figure that attracted much attention was that of a butchers ap- prentice who stood on the edge of the overhanging cornice of a building and awaited the approach of the troops. He still wore his soiled apron, but he had wrapped a piece of red white and blue bunting about his body until, as he stood there outlined against the sky, he looked like a very sturdy and very picturesque statue of Liberty.
 The temper of the crowd was made evident when, long before the appear ance of the troops, three trucks, each drawn by four horses and piled high with camp equipage and stores for the troops, passed down Market street on their way to the ferry. Each truck was accompanied by two or three sol diers in uniform and these were greet ed with cheers that must have been gratifying to the ears of the boys in blue.
 When the body of police that pre- ceded the troops turned from Golden Gate avenue into Market street the fac, was heralded by cheer that acted or the multitude of people between that pOlnC anu tIe IeTTleS like SpdTh Oll train of powder. The cheer was taken up by the waiting thousands and iron, one end of the street to the other there swept a wave of sound that fired the heart and sent the blood racing through ones veins It was but the prelude of the vociferous bravos that greeted the warriors as they passed on their way through the narrow lane between the two solid walls of humanity. Men shouted themselves hoarse and maids and matronS vied with each other in making oral and physical demonstra- tions of their love and pride for the brave boys who will risk their lives in defense of the nations honor. It was a sight that was good to see. and one that will live long in the memories of those who were so fortunate as to wit ness it.
 The most impressive scene along the line of march occurred when the troops reached the foot of Market street. The vanguard of police formed in single column line along the south side of the street, as did the troop of cavalry that preceded the body of infantry. Then as the troops marched past in review they were saluted by the city blue coats and the troopers. Cheer after cheer was given and returned with a will that spoke volumes for the broth erly love between those who were go- ing to repel foreign foe and those who remained to protect the home ano
