NEW YORK CITY (Special. The
life of the sailors aboard Admiral
Dewey s flagship, the cruiser Olympia,
is duplicate of the routine peculiar
to every other boat in the United
States Navy. The discipline has not
been relaxed because the jack tars ac-
quilted themselves so well at Manila.
On the contrary, an extra effort is
made by the crew to hold by good be-
havior in peace the laurels they won
in time of war. The men-o'-war's men
of the Olympia are feted and petted
while ashore, but once under the Ad-
mirals eye they return to the stern
realities of life on the ocean wave.
1t is 2ot very fascinating or wildly
hilarious life that of the man forward
on board modern warship. There is
a monotony and sameness of things
that eat into the heart at times, and it
is only the excitement caused by
wreck or storm or o series of battles
like that recently experienced that
lends welcome air of diversion to the
naval day. Torise at 80 to the harsh
notes of bugle and drum is the or
der, except during the few winter
months, when half hours grace lis
permitted. The ''musics," as the
marine drummers and buglars are
called, are summoned ten minutes be-
fore time by the corporal of the guard.
The two lads, rubbing the sleep from
their eyes, take their stand near the
forward hatch, and, at the word from
the officer of the deck, break into the
stiffness of the early morning with an
Internal hubbub technically known as
"reveille." The hideous uproar speed

gests the sudden realization of high
educational ideals made possible to-
day by great wealth, in contrast to
the slow growth of the past. There
is one thing, however, that gift like
this cannot do. A university, like a
cathedral, is built by its associations
as we'll as from the plans of archi-
tects. Nothing can ever deprive the
older universities of the educational
influence due to their history. From
the broader point of view, both the
old and the new supplement each
other for the good of higher educa-
ton.

small table and gas stove, she dis
covered that, no matter how much care
was exercised, light housekeeping
would leave heavy odors. But she
finally hit upon plan that makes
light housekeeping odorless, easy and
practical, even if the keeper has only
one small room.
She had little box kitchen built
outside of the lower part of her win
dow. In this there were two shelves,
the lower for gas stove and the up
per for variety of culinary utensils.
The window kitchen is miniature ex-
tension, and can be made out of a
strong pine packing box and attached
outside of almost any ordinary win
dow. 1t mu st be firmly screwed to
the woodwork on either side, and the
top slanted and covered tar paper. A
row of holes about an inch in diameter
should be bored through each parti-
tion of the miniature kitchen, to as
sure good ventilation and to carry out
the steam and odors that come from
cooking. A hole must also be bored
in the lower sash of the window, large
enough for gas tube to pass through
and be connected with the nearest gas
jet. This allows the window to be
raised without interfering with the
tube.
In warm weather the upper shelf of
the window kitchen can be used as a
receptacle for food to complete the
kitchen arrangements. Inside the
room the inventor had window seat
built and upholstered. The upholstery
and hanging could be removed while
the meal was being prepared and the
seat used as table, while the draw
ers and compartments and cupboards
built underneath served as a recep-
tacle for dishes and table linen. She
hung a neat little pair of curtains from
the middle sash OF the window, which
could be moved back and forth when
the stove was in operation.
After the dishes had been washed
and restored to their shelves and cup
boards the upholstered seat is put
back and the end of the couch piled
up with pillows. The curtains are
drawn, and no one would ever know
that meal had been prepared.

see visitors and enjoy themselves ac-
cording to their individual inclina-
tions. With mess-gear in the early
evening, the working day ends. Sup
per is followed by period of re-
Taxation until the mellow notes of the
bugle sound taps, and the boatswain's g
mates whistle echoes through the
decks in the last call of the day
"pipe down."
There are many other incidents
which go to make up the naval day.
At sea, when the ships company is
divided into watches, the monotony is
greater than in port. 1t is during the
latter time, with the feet at anchor off
some friendly city, or when the ship
is tied up to dock in one of the home
navy yards, that Jack finds his hours
filled with variety and pleasures suffi-
cient to satisfy even his desires. 1t
is then the liberty list-a potent term
IN the navy-is made out. To dis

stronger, from the occupants of the

ing upward in a ghostly procession.
Each figure carries upon his shoulder
his individual hammock, carefully
lashed and fettered. This he de.
posits in the receptacles prepared for
the purpose and then HES himself to
his mess, where he finds steaming cof-
fee without milk and barely sweetened,
but extremely welcome as an eye
opener.
The spotlessly clean decks of naval
vessels are proverbial. This cleanli-
ness, which seemed novel even to royal
eyes, is the result of hours of hard,
constant work every morning on board
every ship in the service. 1t is to the
executive officer that all praise or
blame in reference to the condition of
a ship belongs, and directly after the
crew has had its early coffee he is on
deck personally experimenting the
holystoning and scrubbing and per-
haps painting. Herelieves the officer
of the deck, who goes below for a light
lunch, and then sees that the boat
swain's mates and the captains of the
different parts of the ship distribute
their men to the best advantage. II it
be wash day the crew is allowed to at
tend to its laundry work before the
scrubbing begins, for, be it understood,
there are no "Hop Lees" or colored
women in the naval service.
1t is seldom that the ships cook,
who has the exclusive privilege to
make and sell dried apple pies at
twenty-five cents a pie, and the ships
barber, who pursues his tonsorial art
at the rate of 81 each quarter for every
man on his books, scrub their own
clothing. They are rich enough to
hire a needy landsman or coal passer
to DO il for them.

other mode shows cape with long

and then over this to the hip falls an
other cape of fur, and it is perfectly
patent that the long-haired pelts are
to be first in the hearts of our country
women this year.
Long cloth coats that might easily

their pockets are ample and the one
feminine suggestion is the tall, up
rolled collar, often lined with nole's
fur that gives the tenderest, most
grateful touch to the face possible,
and the smoked pear-gray color, which
forms soft becoming background for
the face. The majority of these long
coats are made to fasten with the but
tons out of sight, or one or two very
choice cut steel disks hold the fronts
together and twinkle in the soft, deep
hair
There is a pretty fashion coming in
of using bullet-shaped buttons of
brass as trimmings on sleeves and
yokes and the fronts of cloth suits.
These are copies of the buttons that
small boys in livery wear, and they
are not the first brass ornaments that
have crept into women's wardrobes.
Brass is evidently the successor to
much of the popularity accorded to
gun metal, and by treating it to high
polish and OVERLAPPING it with pc.
culiar lacquer it neither loses it's lus-
ter nor conveys any ugly odor to the
hands.

they are "going out" they are still in
great demand.
Styles vary, aud special designers
in the large shops always are working
out novelties. The new flannel and
silk waists merit going long dis
tance to see, for they are beauties,
and not at all expensive. OF course,
the best are tailor made, as they
should be to have the quiet style SO
necessary in this garment; but of all
things worn by woman the shirt waist
is, perhaps, the only article which can
be made at home and really look the
real thing. There are good patterns,
which fit, too, and if the maker is
careful about stitching well and press
ing correctly, she can turn out really
good waist.
But silk ones are another story,
with their endless number of tiny
tucks; the delicate hemstitching; the
rolled edges, with narrow embroidery
slipped in, and all the perplexing de-
tails. So much depends upon the set
at the back, toe hang of the sleeve,
the way buttons are sewed, and, above
all, the cravat, that it is small wonder
that woman prefers to be well
dressed in one expensive waist rather
than have several badly made or in
ferior in quality.
For silk waists, tucks and hem
stitching are the proper mode. The
tucks may run lengthwise in groups,
may be tiny or large, or stitched in
squares. So long as tucks are used
one cannot fail to be in the fashion.
For flannel a combination of stripes
has the smartest effect. The exam
Piles shown in the large engraving,
taken from the New York Press, are

fort no design can be found which

AT MESS ON BOARD THE OLYMPIA.

ladders and gratings with sand and
canvas continues until ten minutes of
8 o'clock, when the call to "spread
mess gear" is sounded by the boat
swain's mate on watch. This is also
the signal to clean up, and each jackie
grabs deck bucket, gets his share of
fresh water from the captain of his
part of the ship, and makes his toilet,
which, if not elaborate, amply suffices
for his needs.
After the washing, the sailors
toilet consists of vigorous rubbing
with coarse towel-his own private
property-and a hair brushing with
the aid of an ancient brush and a small
wooden-framed glass generally carried
in the little chest, or ditty box, which
is the officially approved trunk of each
jackie.
At the stroke of eight bells, s
O'Clock, the call to breakfast is given.
Salty air and an open, free life pro.
duce excellent appetites, and there is

Uncle Sans beautiful Girl Model.

A beautiful little New York girl has
the distinction of having her picture
on every 80 bill issued by the United
States in 1896. Her name is Rose
Marston, and she is but sixteen years
of age. Little Miss Marston is said
to be the most shapely child known to
the New YORK artists. She is par
ticularly remarkable for the beauty
and grace of her arms, hands and foet,
which closely resemble the old Greek
models. On the 1896 SO bill there is
group of five beautiful female fig
ures. The one which represents Roso
Marston is that of the girl kneeling
on the left of the group. The ac-
companying illustration gives fair
representation of the girl in one of
her poses. She has posed for leading
artists for over four years. The fig

BREAKING DOWN CUSTOM.



and Its Results.
When l was young boy the Gus
tom of eating beef began to spread.
AS blood was regarded as unclean and
also as Japan has been a strong agri-
cultural country, there was a deep
rooted disinclination to eat beef" says
a japanese writer in the Popular Sci
ence Monthly. In this, of course, one
has to recognize the influence of the
vegetarian principle OF Buddhism, but
to anybody who had ever tasted beef
1t was SO delicious that he could hardly
control his natural appetite by his re-
Hgious scruple. My father was one of
those who knew its taste, so now and
then we used to treat ourselves 20
beef. But where did we eat it? We
did not eat it inside the house. We
cooked and ate it in the open air, a2d
In cooking and eating it we did not use
the ordinary utensils, but used the
special ones kept for the purpose.
Why all these things? Because beef
was unclean and we did not like to
spread its uncleanliness into our
house wherein the god shelf is kept
and into our ordinary utensils which
might be used in making offerings TO
the gods. The day when we ate beef
my father did not offer lights to the
gods nor say evening prayers to them,
as he did usually, for he knew he was
uncleaI and could not approach the
gods"

The oyster openers are a class by
themselves, as distinct and clannish
as the 'longshoremen for ocean liners.
They receive 81 thousand, and it
is poor shucker that cannot earn $5
in a days work of eight hours. Many
of them earn IS and SO.
There are as many ways of opening
an oyster az there are Of carving a
duck, and each shucker thinks that
his way Is the best. 1t depends upon
where man has been brought up to
the business. Men who have been
brought up in New York use nothing
but the knife, but they use it in diff
ferent ways. Not one man in a hun
dred is a good side knife opener.
Other men who use nothing but the
knife simply stab the oyster. Epicures
declare that this spoils it, but OYSTER
men say that for the general trade it
makes little difference. If shucker
has been brought up in the South,
Baltimore or Norfolk, for instance, he
uses a hammer as we'll as q knife in
opening an oyster.

There is no longer outcry OF any
moment touching abandonment of
farms in New England, says the Lewis
ton (Me.) Journal. There are fewer
idle farms than year ago. The troll
ley will eventually make the idle farm
busy lard for some purpose OF other
as our prosperity advances. Some of
these farms have been bought for
summer resorts and vacation homes.
Some prosperous farmers are enlarg-
ing their borders-seeing that graz
ing and dairy and beef products sup
ply profits. The advance in the price
Of timber is worth many millions to
the State of Maine. What the full
effect is to be in the farming industry
of New England has yet to appear,
but some of the results are already
discernible. The energy and enter
prise of the shop is coming to the
farm to make it a really successful
business enterprise.
