PASSING OF THE SAILOR.
Sea Mechanics Needed Instead of "OId
Salts" to Man War Vessels.

\ secretary Of the navy, some years
ago in talking to young officer. who has
since left the service. about the crew of
battleship. asked him to give his idea as
to the composition of the crew. says a
writer in the New York Tribune. The
answer was that there should be a good
engineer force to handle the machinery
SO as to give the ship mobility and get
the full benefit of all the mechanical ap-
Dliances: that the battery ought to be
manned by marines and that Il few of the
'old salts" might be employed as helms
men. cockswains of boats and quarter
masters.
When the Vulcan, which was the re-
pair ship during the war with Spain
went to Santiago from Boston the com
plement of ordinary seamen was 50 small
thar the mechanics on board did a. great
deal of the duty ordinarily performed by
seamen. showing that it does not require
training after the archaic method to Sc
cure the efficient performance of duty on
Il modern ship. The sea mechanic. not
the sailor. is thought to be wanted. be-
cause the work of the modern enlisted
man deals almost entirely with machin-
cry. Everything he does, steering the
ship, firing his magazine rifle. handling
the great guns and turrets and running
the motive engines and managing the
searchlEhts and t0rpedoeS. deals with
machinery, and to have this well done
obviously requires mechanic.
The ''Sea habit is, of course. essential
To success in the men whose work must
be on the sea, but this must be obtained
by trained men, both to the sea habit
and to mechanical power. Until this is
done the system of training is imperfect
and distinctly inferior to that of the ma
ton III whose navy mechanics are pre-
ferred above ordinary seamen.

Cheerfulne1s Versus Gayety.

1t is not often that young people stop
to think of the difference between the
meaning of cheerfulness and gayety.
Gayety seems more Of a personal thing
the merriment Of jolity which comes
to us from our surroundings and amuse-
mentS. Cheerfulnpss is a more noble and
lovable quality. The dictionary has many
varying definitions OF this pleasant word,
but they ali express something which not
only makes one'sself glad. but helps other
people. Cordially willing: genial in ac-
ton; hearty. ungrudging - Promoting
good cheer, gladdening. animating, gent
al. These are my favorite explanations
of our little word. and | would dearly
love to let you take it for your motto for
this month of good cheer.
lhe old knights, you know. in the days
Of ch.Valry, always chose some word or
sentence which expressed what they
aimed to do. or desired to defend. carried
this upon their shields when they went
INTO battle. and every day wore it embla-
zoned on their banners. 1t was n very
excellent idea in many ways, and once
having chosen his motto. a knight was
bound to live NJ to its requirements, and
his children took it for their iife-rule also.
For instance. if a man wrote on his
| shield: Faithful to the End" he was
bound to hold every trust with unfailing
fidelity even if it cost him his life.
Now, if we should take up for our de
vice. "Cheerfulness, we should be bound
to bring sunshine ana hope wherever we
went, make light of disappointments and
trials, hold back the tears when we were
hurt or troubled be quick to lend a
hand, and always try to find sunny
side to every cloud. And it would mean
giving up all complaints. and enduring
what we had to endure, not only without
Il murmur-for that we might do by be-
ing onli- braye-but finding way to
smile even when things went very much
against us.-MrS. Farley in Ledger
Monthly.

PALACE GATES FOR SALE.
a Set Going Cheap in London for
Matter of Six Thousand Guineas.

Two sets of palace gates are in the
market. one belonging to Anne Boleyns
palace at Sunbury, the other to Carshal-
ton Park, says London newspaper The
grounds of Anne Boeyn'S palace are be-
ing mangled into building lots. and the
same fate has overtaken beautiful Car
Shalton Park. The gates were bought
10y Il curio dealer in the BromptOn road.
who makes Il speciality of old iron work
very different thing from old iron.
Both sets If gates are unique" said
the dealer. My price for the CarShalt0n
gates is 5000 guineaS: for the Anne Bo-
leyn gates $50 guineas An American
millionaire, one of the best-knOwn men in
the world. has written over for CaItirI-
lars of the gates. He wants one set for
the back entrance of his park, and one
for the front.
In these hard times it is refreshing to
hear thar someone can afford to pay
tItNb odd for the gates. The Huke Of
Devon>hire is said to value the gates OF
DevonShire house in picCadilly mt only
2O0p guineaS. The gates at CarShalt III
Park We're designed by Leoni, the Italian
architect. They we1e to embelliSh Il won
derful palace he had designed for the plu-
tocrat ScaWen. Scaweu died, however,
and the palace was never built-0nly the
gates. They are 100 feet long. of beaten
irnnwork, and date back TO about 1920.
At the sides are two carved stone piers.
Surmounted by huge lead figures of Ac-
taeon and Artemis. According to the
dealer piers and figures are absolutely
unique.
The gates Of Anne Boleyn's palace are
much smaller. Experts in gates think
that they We're put up in the time Of
Elizabeth poor Anne's daughter. There
is quaint SquawneSS about their de
sign which is certainly suggestive of Eliz-
abethan art ideals.

what makes these gates so valuable
