of the main upper topsail buntlines

the swapping of the Irvine aloft could
be heard. A moment later the bos'n
came ford and sang out!
Jack, go up and overhaul the main
upper stopsail buntlines and stop them
to the jackstay!'
Every man became silent at once
and looked uneasily into his neighbours
eyes Jack gasped, then paled to a
sicl1ly white. His hands trembled as
he slowly rose. On the bos'n face was
! an expression of almost abject apology,
as though he meant to say:
For Gods sake. don't blame me
it's orders"
Jack climbed slowly and painfully
aloft, as though he had aged ten years
m the last minute.
He did as he had been ordered, but
for the rest of that passage he was no
longer the same man he had been.
When the ship reached port, Jack
went ashore and by chance met the
mate in a grog-shop. The few drinks
! he had taken broke the last restraint,
and had not bystanders interfered, he

The Disgrace of Dirt.
In spite of the rough life they lead
sailors are undoubtedly cleaner and

other workmen of their class. SLOW
emily man in a forcastle never has :
pleasant time with his mates. To be
called dirty is a keen disgrace. This is
especially impressed on young bows on
their first trips.
On an American bark that traded be.
tween San Francisco and Honolulu
there was once a green fellow from
the Seattle coal trade, where the mer
can't keep clean. He had learned al
he knew of sea life there, and conse
quently was under the impression thai
he could SLOUGH about deck on a deer
water vessel in the manner he haj
been accustomed to aboard the coast
ing collier.
AT frs his shi2mates intimated BY
hints tina his ways did not suit them
and when he disregarded them they
told him plainly that he was a filthy
! cub. But he was not sailor enough to
take that as an insult.
One early morning watch they
dragged him out of his bunk and
scrubbed him down with the deck
brooms, and thereafter he was barred
from social intercourse during the
evening dog watches. A man whom
it had been necessary to treat in thai
manner was considered disgraced fol-
life. Never again was he treated or
terms of equality in any forecastle he
afterwards went in, the story having
| spread all over the coast. On this
| account he was dubbed DIRTY Dick"

People ashore with only a limited
knowledge of men who sail in ships
are not apt to regard the sailor as a
gentleman of dignity Slovenly, I'M
shaver and drunk, he rolls down the
grimy streets of the water front dis
tricts. dsregardful of what people
think of him, apparently without pride
But. for all that Jack is a most SEN
sitive being, keenly conscious of what
constitutes disgrace according to his
own peculiar code of morals.
There is no keenly felt disgrace to
the genuine deep sea sailor than hav-
ing his ability as a seaman impeach-
ed. You might cast all sorts of
doubts on the integrity of his moral
character but, provided you qualified
them by admitting his professional
ability, he might still be your friend.
Reverse the order, and declare him a
good man but a poor seaman, and he
is on the warpath at once.
This popularity is fully understood
by ships officers, they, of COURSE be-
ing more susceptible to it than the
men under them. So when they wish
to infict some particularly severe form
of punishment on a sailor they do not
resort to physical violence. Assault
with a Delaying pin might imply mere
ly a momentary displeasure. That is
not the bucko mates method when he
wants to be especially cruel. He sim
ply sets his victim to work at some
job ordinarily given to the deck boys,
and thus strikes deeper than mere
blows ever could That sort of punish
ment has set more than one sailor
brooding during the night watches
until he ended his misery by a leap
overheard.
/ remember a particular case where
in an old sailor, who had sailed every
sea on the globe, was punished in this
manner. He had given the mate some
back talk. At first it looked as if
there would be a fight, but the mate

ness, but the aprons which many care
full mothers still consider essential for
the smaller students are an excuse in
themselves. They are of sheerest linen
lawn, nainsook and dimity, trimmed
with exquisite embroideries. Many Of
them are hand embroidered in colors.
Even the bingham aprons which were
the bugbear of many a beauty loving
child have blossomed out into prettl-
ness. One Bingham apron is ring dotted
in blue on a white ground. The full
skirt is gathered into a deep shaped
yoke of all-over blue and white en-
broidery. Many of the white aprons
! have the long French waists belted IN
by wide sash of the material or Oh
| ribbon.
The headgear of the small school
girl is as simple as her frocks. Tam
o'-shanters are always correct. Tne
bright red ones look CHEEKY on a colo
| day. For the older girl the shops are
showing imported knitted golf jackets
| with '"Tams" to match. The golf jack
ct has gilt buttons down the front, ana
with a trim golf skirt of some heavy
| suiting makes a stylish costume for

Nearly all the hats for the small glrl
have wide rolling brims. They furnish
