Sandy" has returned and there is
rejoicing in the breast Of his master
and his masters friends Sandy is a
dog Of the skye species. He wears an
intelligent air and an abbreviated tail
and is clothed in a suit of the sandiest
kind of hair He also possesses an
affectionate disposition and is so de-
voted to his master that they were
never known to be separated. Wher-
ever his master went there also went
Sandy, and whatever the weather or
the occasion might be it made not the
slightest difference-yOu never saw
one without the other.
When, therefore, one day recently
Sandy's master appeared on Broad
street without him people could hard
ly believe their eyes 1t was evident
that some great calamity had come
about. Had Sandy barked his last bark
and taken his departure for dog heay-
en-? Alas, no! A much worse fate
had overtaken him. He had gone trav-
cling with his owner, and in rash
moment had left his side and climbed
down out of the car upon the sandy
soil of Richland county some thirty
miles below Columbia, where he was
left behind.
The last seen of Sandy as the train
disappeared down the track he was
making for the woods, and there was
a whole pack of yellow dogs at his
heels trying to introduce themselves
to him and learn Charleston dog man
ners. Sandy's master exhausted every
means that ingenuity could suggest to
find out what became Of his pet, but
all to no avail. He evidently did not
like the dogs that tried to push them
selves upon his acquaintance, and with
true Charleston exclusiyeness turned
IN his nose at his country cousins and
made for Columbia as the next best
thing. Sandy trotted 80 miles up the
track until the towers and domes of
the inland metropolis appeared, and
then he lay down and rested. When
he woke up it was another day and
there was a house near by Sandy
walked over to the house and sent up
his card. and then proceeded to make
himself at home and await develop

master and old friend but as long as
the meals kept coming his way Sandy
decided to adopt the attitude Of {

four months went by and Sandy was

noon as he was lying in the yarC

GoInr 10 sea d DInsront Now.


Going 60 Sea Is Different Now.
Going to sea as a cadet on an Ameri-
can Liner Is a different thing from
shipping as a cabin boy a century
ago. The cadets, since they go aboard
our ships with the expectation OF
commanding them some day are
treated, from the beginning, as gentle
men. They have their own sleeping
quarters, and their own mess rooms.
They rank as petty officers. They are
under the supervision of the chief Of
ficer, who instructs them in seaman
shin and navigation. On the first voy-
age they are paid at the rate Of ten
dollars a month. After that they
are paid fifteen dollars a month.
OF course they have no expenses. In
reality, they have free instruction in
the art of handling ships, and the
small sum the company pays them
cannot be considered as wages.
AS soon as they become proficient,
they are offered positions in the COM
panys service, and many of our young
officers were developed in the ranks
of the cadets. Half of these appren-
tees are in the deck department, the
others in the engine department. Just
now, it is unfortunate that we lose
some of our best junior officers, after
we have trained them to be of service
to us, because of a provision of the
American law The government will
not issue a masters license to anyone
who has not had experience as a
watch officer, and, on the American
Line, we require our watch officers to
have masters licenses. The result is
that our fourth or third officers, be-
fore they can gain further promotion,
must go to the service of some other
line, where they can act as watch of
ficers. Our idea is that no man should
be q watch officer who is net capable
of commanding ship.
So many are the applications now
for cadetship that we are taking only
graduates from the three scholarships
on the Atlantic Coast, the est Mary's,"

Few of the young men who apply for
cadetships become officers, for the
weeding-out process sends to other oc-
equations men who are not fitted to be
merchant-marine officers OF the one
hundred and twenty-nine young men
who were appointed last year, eighty
one left the service. The first voyage
usually is enough to weed out the most
incapable. Those who do stay with
us learn to love the sea. Captains
berths are waiting for them, if they
will but prove their worth. Command
ers in the service of the American Line
are paid from three thousand, six hum
dred dollars to four thousand, FIVE
hundred dollars year, the salary of
the commodore being four thousand
| five hundred dollars year. The salary
of captain is increased one hundred
dollars each year he is in our service
Chief officers are paid one thousand,
four hundred dollars. The reason for
the great difference between the pay
of chief officer and a captain is that
promotion from chief officer to captain
of an American Liner goes by way Of
commanding positions in the other
lines of the company The lowest
salary we pay captain is one thou
sand, seven hundred and fifty dollars
a year.-Clement A. Griscom, Jr., in

Some years ago a German scientist
began to study rats and mice with the
object of ascertaining why they are so.
fond of gnawing food-and, indeed, al
uaost anything on which their teeth
can be employed-and news now comes
shat his patient researches have at last
been crowned with success. He SAYS
that these animals-and especially rats
have teeth which grow longer every
year, and keep growing longer during
their entire life, and that the object oil
the animals in gnawing is to keAn
