OCEAN LINERS IN PORT.
The Work That Is Done by the CreN
Tint Never Sails. -..-.r

The captains authority over an ocean
liner. and equally, Of course. his respon-
sibility for her. extend only over the
time when she is crossing the sea.
Practically the responsibility ceases
when she approaches land on either
side, for the pilot assumes charge OF
her navigation as soCS as he comes
aboard. When the ship arrives at her
pier. or as soon, to be exact, as size is
within hailing distar"c, the captain Is
no longer in control. She is then under
the authority of the marine superl1-
tendGnt, who is in command OF tie
r;crs and tugs and harhor front equip
ment of the line and who takes charge
of the docking of all vessels.
To bring IL giant Liner to rest at her
pier is Il delicate operation. The flow
her engines before they stop. the depth
of the water, must all be taken into
consideration, for the quarters are mar
row. and If she were to ram the pier
it would mean a bad smashup. But
with the skill of long experience the
superintendent, by voice and hand, con-
trolls the great vessel perfectly, and
with tugs helping her and cables draw
Ing her she glides into her resting place
as quietly and easily as tired child
slips beneath the covers at night
Practically, from the moment when
the liner ia made fast she Is turned
over to the crew that never sails. Her
officers remain on duty, and their work
is rs arduous and almost as incessan mt
In port as Mt sea. But the law requires
that the crew Of each vessel shall be
paid of and discharged at the end OF
every voyage. h the case Of the liner
they are again signed Immediately, but
during the period while the vessel lies
in port they are not officially connected
with her, and the work which naturally
would fall to their lot is performed by
the port crew.-Earl Mayo in Leslie's
Weekly.

remained for several years until the

for two hours respite, which was re-

BOY BATTLES.
Let the Youngster Learn to Stand Up
For His Rights.

Have you forbidden your son to fight
under severe penalties? And have you
sent him to public school hampered
by this injunction? This is the infalli-
BILE result: Either he will fight and
deny it to you, which is far more
blameworthy than fighting, or he will.
If a strictly obedient boy. refuse to
fight or to resent imposition, and thus
gain the reputation of "milksOp" or
| SISSY" and his school days will be
made miserable by the injustice Of this
stigma and by the indignities and an
noyances to which he will be subjected
by his mates. If you find your boy
quarrelsome and inclined to impose
upon other and younger boys punish
him as severely as you wish. 1 am
fully in accord with you there, for
quarrelsome, tyrannical bully is nui-
sance in any school: but as long as
there are schools so long will there be
Quarrelsom2. tyrannical DULLES, and
you and |. my dear madam, wish our
! boys to take these DULLES in hand and
thrash them. Now, isn't that so?
DO you suppose that Fatty was any
the worse for his fight with FfShy?
And when, in after years. Fatty be-
| came one Of the best football players
and cane rilshers that Dartmouth col
lcce ever boasted and one of the best
business men in New Hampshire is
there any doubt that this fight had
some intiuence-a slight influence, per-
haps, but still an inhuence-in produc-
ing this development? And do you
suppose that he was any the less a
gentleman and a good citizen from
| having learned to stand up for his
rights and to resent improper interfer-
ence with his affairs? Let your boy
learn to box, to wrestle. to fence. and
so develop every muscle. I never yet
saw boy who knew how to box

gerous weapon. Judge Henry A.

A tepid bath at about 80 degrees
Fahrenheit taken just before retiring,
I'm a tub where the whole body except
the face is immersed, is an excellent
substitute for sleep, says Henry Ben

tute known to science for natures

of prolonged and chronic insomnia to

OUR INSTINCT TO CHEW.
1t Manffests Itself In Numerous and
Curious Ways.

Seeing that the maxillary apparatus
of man has for long ages past been put
to vigorous use, it is not surprising that
the need to exercise it should express
itself as powerful instinct. This in
stinct manifests itself in many and
curious ways. During the early months
Of life the natural function Of feeding
at the breast pcOyides the infants
jaws, tongue and lips with all the need
full exercise. This bottle feeding fails
to do, and we frequently find bottle fed
children seeking to satisfy the natural
instinct by sucking their thumbs, fin
gers Or any convenient object at hand.
The teeth are a provision for biting
hard foods. but even before they actu-
ally appear we find the child seeking
to exercise his toothless gums on any
hard substance he can lay hold of, and
there can be no doubt that exercise of
this kind tends to facilitate the erup-
ton Of the teeth, truth indeed recog-
nized universally, whether by the prim
tive mother who strings the tooth of
some wild animal round the neck of
her infant or the up to date parent
who provides her child with bejewel-
ed ivory or coral bauble.
When the teeth have erupted, the
masticatory instinct finds among print
tive peoples abundant satisfaction in
the chewing Of the coarse. hard foods
which constitute their dietary; but
among us moderns, subsisting, as we
do, mainly on soft foods, affording but
little exercise for the mastcatory ap-
paratus, it does not find its proper ex-
preston, and thus tends to die out.
Nevertheless it dies a hard death and
long continues to assert itself. Witness
the tendency Of children to bite their
pencils and penholders. have known
a child to gnaw through q bone pen
holder much in the same way as a
carnivorous animal gnaws at bone.
This instinct to chew for chewing
sake manifests itself all over the world.
In our own country not only do chill
dren bite pencils and penholders, but
they will chew small pieces of india
rubber for hours together. The prac-
tice Of gum chewing, so common among
our American cousins, evidently comes
down from faroff times. for the print
tive Australians chew several kinds of
gum, attributing to them nutrient
qualities, and the Patagonians are said
to keep their teeth white and clean by
chewing matri. gum which eXudes
from the incense bush.-Lancet.

The Bishop md the Widow.

Work and Leisure Should Be Mated

Work is good. No one seriously
doubts this truth. Adam may have
doubted it when he first took spade in
hand and Eve when she secured her
first pots and kettles, but in the course
of a few thousand years we have learn
ed to know and value this honest, trou-
blesome, faithful and extremely exact
ing friend. But work is not the only
good thing in the world. 1t is not a
fetch to be adorned, neither is it to be
judged, like a sum in addition. by its
outward and immediate results. The
god of labor does not abide exclusively
in the rolling mill, the law courts or
the cornfield. He has a twin sister
whose name is leisure. and in her soci-
ETY. he fingers now and then to the last
ing gain of both.-Scribner's.
