the problem before the commissary depart
ment is not merely that of feeding so many
hundred people each day. The human
freight of a great steamer Is divided INTO
many classes and families, and for each of
these separate provision must be made. No
less than 20 meals are served daily on board
a hig steamship, and each of these meals
must be separately ordered and prepared.
The manner in which the Tpeals are ar
ranged and the amount of foodstuffs re-
quired for them will give an idea of the
scale on which the entire organization of
great ocean liner lies.
On the afternoon of each day the chief
steward retireS to his office and ma keS out
q list of the various menus for the following
day. As soon as these are completed they
are turned over to the ships printer. who
prints them off on a small hand press.
They are then given To the various chief
cooks-the meat cook. the baker, the chief
pastry cook the conf actioner, and so on.
Each Of these estimates the amount OF the
various materials which he will require.
and these lists, when signed by the chief
steward. become acquisitions upon the
stoTekeeperS in charge of the supplies.
Then the various heads of departments
set TO work. Each chief cook concoctS his
special dishes in little Office which he has
to himself, and his directions are carried
out by a corps of assistants.
Everything about the kitchen OF a great
steamship is on a most elaborate scale. The
range weighs many tons. The various
soup caldrons are constructed to hold 20
gallons. Loaves are baked by the hundred,
joints roasted by the Dozen each in sepa-
rate and specially constructed compartment.
To serve the meals, thousands of plates,
pieces of silver, cups and saucers and nap
kins are required, and the average break
age in the galley of n big ship amounts TO a
barrel of china every day.
The amount of stores required for
single voyage by great liner is compar-
able only to the commissariat of an army
Here are n few figures furnished by the
chief steward of one of the big German
ships from the order sheet for n recent trip:
Sixteen tons of fresh beef five tons OF lamb
and veal, $500 head OF chickens. ducks,
geese and game, four, tons of sailed meats.
/ 900 dozens eggs. three tons of sugar. 100
barrels of flour, 700 bushels OF potatoes,
two and one-half tons Of butter, 1000
quarts Of milk, and 500 gallons of ice cream.
Of course this is not an exhaustive list, but
it will serve To give an idea of the enormous
appetite which the storeroOms of the ocean
liner must satisfy. No less wonderful
than their amount is the manner in which
they are stored, prepared and served within
the restricted quarters OF even the largest
vessel 1t represents a triumph OF perfect
systematization."
The National tribune., 1900-06-21
Transatlantic Crews.

The men of chief importance in driving
the modern ocean liner are the men in the
engine rooms. They are seldom seen by
the passengers except possibly at the end
of voyage when they emerge, grimy and
blackened as strange imps, TO get a breath
of the fresh air which has been denied
them so long. Their labor is the hardest
labor that men perform anywhere, and il
is carried on far down in the depths of the
vessel, where the usual temperature is far
above 100 degrees. Out OF the crew of hall
q thousand men, 200 are likely to make uI
the engine room department. These are
divided between the stokers, who feed the
glowing furnaces, the trimmers, who bring
the coal to the furnace mouth, and the
greaserS, who keep the machinery bright
and in running order. 1t is a curious fact
that with all the advance that has been
made in mechanical appliances, no substi-
tute has been found for hand labor i'll the

it likely that the shovel and the fire rake
can be dispensed with in favor of an auto.

form Of liquid fuel comes int general
adoption.

well-being Of passengers. This is divided
into bedroom stewards and stewardesses

call them on land-cooks, scullions, store
keepers and galley employees Of many
kinds. On a great steamship there are
likely 10 be 100 bedroom stewards, half q
hundred dining-room stewards, and as
many more galley employees Of all ranks.
The ordering of such an army requires
the perfect organization that always ex
cites admiration on shipboard. While
the Captain holds supreme authority, each
department is in the charge Of a chic
officer. The sailors are under the direction

There are many gray haired heroes
Alive on earth today

And many cherished one

And some who live oday on earth
Are battling fate as then.
For they have touched mistortunc's shore,
To bear. God only knows.
The agony and pains OF life
That multiplied their woes
And some have seen the shadows creep
Where love once reared its throne.
And forced those brave ill-fatcd men
Inside Soldiers Home.
And there they live, from day TO day.
But still keep fighting on
To keep the grim old warrior Death,
From life thus nobiy won.
But spite of all they know full well
Their ranks arc thinning fast
For oftcntimc Old Glory floats
In sorrow at half mast
They see the long line shorter grow.
And growing less and less
As down lies journey they march on.

March on to where life's trials end.
They reach that fatal goal
Where ncvermore they answer here,
Their names arc oil the roll.
But while they live beneath Gods roof
Their memories oft recall
The shrek of lifc-dcstroying shells.
The hiss of mimic ball.
The tented camp. the bivouac,
The skirmish- line and drill.
The battlefield the empty ranks.
The trenches death has filled.
All these awaken solemn thoughts
That in the long ago
Went hand in hand with bloody war,
Its carnage and its voc
Yet spite OF all these stirring thoughts
OF soldiers brave and true,
A few are forced TO wear again
The suit Of honored blue.
And so they live mid dreams and hopes
That cannot always last
For day by day 'Old Glory" drops

And he noted all who fell.
And those who sleep meath Southern skies.

God did not miss grave.
And when the last name on the roll

A Story of Cullom.

Just at the busy time one afternoon
when the crowds from the depart
ments packed the cars a tired looking
man with painful limp came in with
the crowd at the Fifteenth street
transfer station and stood clinging to
strap just in front of Senator Gull
lom. The senator looked up, and, see
ing the weary face, instantly rose and
offered his seat. The man demurred.
The senator insisted.
"Sit down, sit down." said he cheer
lily. "You mustn't stand; sit down"
The man sank into the seat, and the
tall lllinOisan contented himself with
strap. From beneath great poppy
laden hat the bright eyes of little
girl, near whom he stood, peered up
at him eagerly. At last he looked
down and saw her.
won't you take my seat?" she said
politely.
The senator smiled down at her and
shook his head.
NO, thank you, child" he said. "You
mustn't ever give up your seat to a
man. 1t sets bad example. Chi

Children's Parties.

Miss Marguerite Tyler entertained ten
of her little friends last Thursday after
noon in honor of her sixth birthday.
The little people had merry hour with
games and songs. Later they assembled
in the dining-room where dainty sup
per was served at which time the little
hostess cut the birthday cake very grace
fully. A few of her older friends were in
vited to watch the fun and to share in
the supper.
About 10 young friends of Willie Boyn-
tons were delightfully."- entertained at his
home Thursday afternoon, in honor OF
his ninth birthday. Games were partici-
pated in from 3 to 6 o'clock and refresh
ments were served. His birthday is Feb
ruary %, but his patriotism invites him
to celebrate it on the same day as Wash
ington's birthday.
Harold Penniman entertained "a friends
very happily at his home on Mt. Pleas
ant street Saturday afternoon. Games
were played and dainty refreshments
were served.
Miss Olive Darling entertained about
80 OF her friends very pleasantly at her
home in Bank Block Saturday afternoon.

Dublin BOOtbIacks, 1850.

Among the populace of Dublin In
1880, says the University Magazine, the
shoeblacks were numerous and for
midable body. The polish they used
was lampblack and eggs, for viii, i
they purchased all that were rotten in
the markets. Their implements con-
sisted Of three legged STOOL basket
containing blunt knife, called a
spudd, a painters brush and an old
wig. A gentleman usually went out In
the morning with dirty boots or shoes,
sure to find shoeblack sitting on his
stool at the corner of the street. The
gentleman put his foot in the lap Of the
shoeblack without ceremony, and the
artist scraped it with his spudd, wiped
1t with his wig and then laid on his
composition as thick as black paint
with his painters brush. TAI
The stuff dried with rich polish, re-
curing no friction and little inferior
to the elaborated modern fluids, save
only the intolerable odors exhaled from
eggs in high state Of putridity and
which filed any house which was en-
tered before the composition was quite
dry and sometimes even tainted the air
of fashionable drawing rooms. Polish
ing shoes, we should mention, was, at
this time refinement almost confined
to cities, people in the country being
generally satisfied with grease. g
