BROTHERHOOD OF AMERICAN YEO-
MEN.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1903-06-27

whether 1t be in American or British
waters, will witness scenes most excit-
ing and picturesque if they chance to
see the ships fire and boat drills which
take place during the liners stay in
port.
The fire drills of the big liners at New
York usually take place on Sunday.
The great vessel lies serene, her broad
decks deserted except for the presence
of the officer who happens to be on
watch and a few seamen engaged in
desultory tasks.
Suddenly the air is cut by the sharp
notes of a changing gong. Dong dong"
it clangs; then an interval and then
again dong dong" That gong is prac-
tically cry of ''Firer' The two sharp
strokes close together mean that the
blaze is located amidship. Had 1t been
located forward there would have been
a single stroke of the bell; if in the
after part of the vessel there would
have been three.
The previous placidity of the great
liner is transformed in a twinkling to
tremendous activity. Men sprang into
sight on every part of the deck. There
is hurry everywhere, but no confusion
and very little noise. That IS part OF
the training-discipline, no disturbance.
Each man on board, from the captain
to the youngest deck cadet, moves
quickly to the station that has been as
signed him. Each knows from training
and from frequent instruction what
duties are required of him. The crew
musters under the bridge; the officers
take their positions at the different
pumps: the boatswain looks after the
hose; the quartermasters take charge
of the nozZles and axes, and the car
penter hurries to the chief officer with
the axes that will be needed by the
men who are to fight their way against
the fire in the holds. 1t all happens in
q minute.
But the activity is by no means con-
fined to the deck. Down in the engine

rooms, where they know nothing of
what is happening save what the warn
ing gong and the rush of huTrying
feet above have told them and where
the strain is consequently even more
intense, there are scenes of similar en-
ergy. The second engineer officer takes
charge of the hydraulics for lowering
the boats. Others look after the steam
valves, through which steam can be
forced into the various cargo COM
partments to fight the fire; others
assume direction of pumps and hose.
In the passenger quarters, too, there
are equally important duties to be per
formed The pursers first task Is to
look after the ships papers and the
mails. The surgeon quiets the passen-
gers and attends to those who may re-
Quire his care. The cooks and bakers
hurry provisions to the boats. Some
of the stewards gather up blankets for
possible use. Others attend the hose
or prepare to pass buckets, and still
others re-enforce the crew assembled
on the deck.
This is the first alignment of the
forces arrayed against the fire. Their
further movements must be governed
by circumstances and Will be deter
mined by the captain. He has his army
well in hand now. He knows where
every battalion and company is. and he
proceeds to advance upon the foe with
all possible speed. The hose is quickly
coupled, the pumps set to work, and
streams from all directions are concen-
trated on the fire, while the reserve
forces are on hand, armed with buck
cts, to quell any minor blaze that may
be started by flying sparks or brands.
The boat drill in practice is a per-
Torrance entirely separate from the
fire drill, although it usually takes
place directly after the other. When
the call to the boats is sounded each
man moves as quickly as possible to

The First diamond Mt Kimberley.

The First Diamond AT NlmDeEAeys
1t was not until the autumn of 1870
that the first diamond was found on
the present site of Kimberley. There
was shallow, circular depression,
known as Dutoitspan, on the edge of
which O farmer named Van Wyk lived
in a cabin plastered with mud. This
hut had no architectural pretensions,
but, in its way, it went beyond the
luxury of Fifth avenue, for the mud
with which it was daubed was sprin-
killed. with diamonds. One day Van
Wyk's children prospected the plaster
ing of their home and extracted sew
eraI gems. The farmer and his friends
began digging at the spot from which
the mud had been taken, and found
more diamonds.
Miners swarmed in, and a new
camp, called Dorstfontein, sprang up.
In June of the next year the Kimber-
ley mine proper-one of the four great
deposits that form the present KIM
berley group-yielded its first diamond.

into jaded men and women new vital

1t seems personal pleasure to the
doctor to do these good deeds quietly

anxiety in the matter seems to be to
extend his aid and counsel to every
sufferer on the face of the earth, and
at his own expense and without charge
he IS giving one weeks treatment alb

eatableS requires all the attention OF n
special department In each of the big
steamship companies.
This duty is in charge of a port
steward, who has under him an as
sistant and several clerks. One of the
factors to be considered is the possible
delay by accident of the ship. So as
to avoid possible danger of the passen-
gers going hungry the big liners, which
ordinarily make a voyage in less than
seven days, carry provisions sufficient
to feed its passengers and crew for Il
month.
When the port steward enters upon
the task of deciding the quantity and
variety of supplies necessary to equip
the ship in hand for her next voyage
he first aScertains what is left over
from the voyage just ended. This in
formation is furnished by the chief
steward of the vessel, who keeps a rec
ord of the exact amount of every COM
modify on board that is consumed from
day to day At the end of the voyage
this record is checked up and shows
exactly what is left in stock.
The chief stewards sheet is turned
over to the port steward, who there
upon proceeds, in consultation with the
chief steward, to make out the requisi-
ton for the ensuing voyage. When it
is completed this requisitiOn reads like
the commissary orders of an army.
Here are some of the items taken from
recent voyages of line steamers: Fresh
beef, mutton and lamb, $4,000 pounds;
$50 chickens and ducks. $500 pounds
of ham and bacon, 10000 eggs, 5000

Probably the most famous doctor
on the face of the earth today is DR..
J. Alvin Horne. One of the most mod
est and unassuming of men, yet he
stands today at the head, looked up
to and respected by all the noted
specialists in each branch of the medi-
cal profession, in the old world and in
the new. Some of the greatest medi-
cal discoveries of the age are the pro-
ducts of his deep study and research
in his splendid private laboratory. All
this has brought this scientist the
praise of the learned men of the
world without stint, but far above
that he values the thankful words of
gratitude that come in the letters from
humble people whom he has by his
marvellous skill saved from a certain
and horrible death or a lifetime of
misery and sickness. 1t seems as
though all diseases are alike TO this
physician. He cures them all. The
stories of his wonderful cures of
hopeless cases told by the happy pa
TENTS themselves read like romances
or the miracles of bible times.
There is no question of the doctors
sincerity in his claim that all diseases
can be cured by his marvellous meth
cd, and one can hardly doubt his abil-
ity to carry out his claim after having
talked with people whom he has cured
quickly and safely of all kidney and
liver disease. lung and stomach trou-
bic, consumption, constipation, rheu-
matism, neuralgia, catarrh, bronchi-

Food and Production.

Each breed has certain advantages.
In experiments made with several
breeds it was found that results vary
according to the size and age. The
Dorkings laid 100 eggs each year, the
average weight Of the eggs being two
ounces. or eight to the pound. Inc
food eaten each day was five ounces.
or about 113 pounds for the year. This
was heavy feeding and consisted OF a
variety of grain and grass, being over
one pound Of food for each egg; out
1t must be considered that a large por-
ton of the food was directed to growth,
as the record was kept from the first
six months Of age to eighteen months.
The birds were also kept over winter,
when a large amount Of food was de
rected to heat. The production OF eggs
was good, but as the birds were forced
the cost was excessive, though the
cocks had made eight pounds growth
when six months old. The Dorkinss
pay better as superior table fowls than
as layers.-Farm and Fireside.

The Proftless Cow.

Much has been said and written on
the subject of scrub stock, and the
scrub cow has come in for her fuli
share of condemnation. The Live
Stock Farmer has the following to say
on the subject:
"a cow census would show that, so
far as the farmer is concerned. half
OF the COWS could be sent to the
butcher without loss to their owner.
The public would. Of course. be the
loser. for q definite amount OF milk
would be taken out Of trade. and the
remainder would be in such demand
that the price would be enhanced.
On the farmers side. however. the re-
suit would mean profit. Ultimately
the general public might get its milk
as cheap as at first. for the poor COWS
would no longer produce poor COWS,
but the entire supply Of calves would
come from profitable mixers. Now.
year after year; the farmer puts GER
tain sum Of money in the way OF food
into his cow and gets back the same
sum. He throws in his work. Most
of the men that are doing this do rot
know it. for they have never kept an
account of what they are doing. They
have no idea as to the results from
milking operations. They take 1t Tor
granted that the hard work they are
putting in Is profitable. Little by little
the Door COWS are being weeded out OF
the herds, bat progress is slow. We
need to use more universally the milk
scales. the Babcock test and the lead
pencil"
