LIFE ON A TORPEDO BOAT.
The Men Have to Take Their Sleep add Food in "Catch as Catch
 Can" Fashion.

A man on a torpedo boat has to catch his sleep lon the fly" and he becomes exceedingly expert, being young and adaptable, at making up the required amount of slumber in little mosaics of an hour now, half an hour then and ten minutes later on~ He becomes accus- toned to drop into doze whenever a favorable minute arrives and he is not on duty, and to stay in that condition until a sudden lurch of the boat shakes it out of him. Never at sea does he ex- pect to be able to turn in for a full nights sleep, says writer in the Boston Globe.
 This difficulty of sleeping on a torpedo boat at sea is one of the principal rea- sons why the fleet of destroyers sent to Manila had an itinerary arranged for it and only 70 at sea. This 90 days of rest against 70 of active seagoing is calculat- ed to be about the limit of endurance of picked crew on a torpedo boat. A de- stroyer, it must me remembered, is only a torpedo boat of larger growth, and not so much larger as to make any mate rial difference in the amount of discom- fort and strain put upon the crew, espe- cially where the theater of action is the open ocean.
 A man who has had much service on a torpedo boat said to the writer:
 Tt is not only sleep with which you have to play catch as catch can on board O hui h Q un fn y,1 fo O with your food as we'll. If there was anything like sea on, we never used to think of sitting down to table, but took such food as we could get in one hand and ate it while we held on with the other
 "A great part of the time cooking was next to impossible, and cold canned stuff, or what was left over of the stuff which had been cooked in port, had to suffice us, and we grabbed that as we could and when we could.
 "The cook always, or almost always, used to make coffee for us, though how he managed it was a mystery, for, though he used to lash the coffee pot to the top of the stove and toe down the lid, the pitching and the rolling of the boat in a heavy seaway would spill a large portion of the contents of the pot out through the spout.
 '"Then cookey would put cork in the mouth of the spout, and when the boiling coffee generated steam enough the lid would blow off, or the cork would fly out Altogether, it was only by the exercise of indefatigable energy and skill of the sort which ought to have been recognized in general orders that finally enough coffee would be manufac- tured to give each man cup."

THE SYRIAN BARBER BOWL.
A Novelty in Tonsorial Utensils That Is Popular with Some New
 Workers.

"I have quite a number of novelties from my country" said the Syrian bar Der in Washington street, relates the New York Times, "but I keep them for my American customers. The Syrians want the latest Yankee notions. Of course, once in awhile an old mountain ger happens in who longs for the ancient customs, but he is only a bird of pas sage-a maker of laces or peddler of saddlebags-going through the metrop- oils to some other city.
 "The Syrian bowl seems to please New Workers most. A number of artists come to my shop just to have it used on them. Here it is. Quite ornate, isn'tit They're not all alike, but keep this one because my customers admire the inlaid work on it, and while I'm shaving them enter tain them with the story of it or the in dustries of the villagers who produce this kind of merchandise. The shape is the egg-basin. The semicircular brim fits the neck of the customer, and if he likes he can use silver wire clasps about the ears. In Syria the father is made right 7 in the bowl with the hand and applied by the hand to the face of the customer, but New Workers won't have that, they like the brush dipped in. The native brush is unique, made of soft split grass, but only my people stand for it; the smooth, tender skin of Yankees can't stand it's harshness of fiber.
 My people like plenty of perfume put in the bowl, but perfumes and scented soaps make Anglo-Saxons mad. Weuse moistened, scented clay after shaving as sort of powder for the face. It is splendid for the skin and acts as disin- fectant, but though import quite a lot of it from the mountain country, have hard time to get rid of it among my for eign clients. Lately some ladies have been buying it to use in their cosmetics. They are finding out its medicinal quali- ties, and they don't have the prejudice against it that the men seem to have A society woman happened into my shop a day or two ago and bought a Syrian barber bowl and an ear razor for shaw ing the inside of the ear. These razors are fine things, and all the nobility use them at home. I showed her how to handle the blade and told her to be care- full and always employ the tiny ear-mir- TOT with it.
 ''She thanked me, but replied: "Oh. dear me, I wouldn't use that beautiful thing for any horrid purpose like that. I want it for an ornament; sort of book leaf cutter"

Tempting Sandwiches.

At an afternoon tea some particular ly attractive open sandwiches were served. Rounds of bread were spread with a mixture of cream cheese and finely chopped olives. Around the edge of each larger pieces of olives formed a sort of wreath and directly in the center was piece of olive. Brown bread sandwiches made of cream cheese and chopped olives are particu- larly delicious. Chopped green peppers may also be mixed with them.-Detroit Free Presa

..S ALL PREPARED.
That When Hobson Sneezed His Good Wife Was Right There
 with the Remedy.

MT. HObSOn Sneezed and Mrs. HObSOn
 marked that he must have caught
 bld. MT. Hobson is one of those men
 ho hate to have fuss made over them. Ne has been trying to impress that fact -6n his wife's mind for 20 years relates the Chicago Daily News.
 What makes you think I've taken cold?" he demanded, irritably.
 You sneezed," replied Mrs. Hob- son.
 That doesn't signify" He paused.
 But it does signify It is one of the first signs of cold. You went out with the ashes this morning without thing round your neck" "I always do."
 And now you've caught cold" MT. HObsOn returned to the reading of his newspaper without replying. In few moments Mrs. Hobson said: Henry" "Well?"
 You've got to do something for that cold" ...
 Cant sneeze without being accused of cold? Is there any law against sneezing, or do have to get a permit from the health department" "I don't see anything foolish in taking cold in time," Mrs. Hobson said, calm ly. eff you would let me put your feet in hot water and mustard, and get you to bed"
 MT. .Hobson resumed his paper, and as he did so he felt an annoying tickling in his nose. He struggled heroically for nearly half minute. Then he sneezed again.
 "There-" said Mrs. Hobson, in melan-' choly triumph. You've sneezed again!"
 "I've sneezed twice, and I'm not ashamed of it," Hobson replied, coldly. eff feel like it, I'm going to sneeze again. I'm"
 Three successive and violent sternu- tations interrupted him.
 "Now will you let me heat that water, Henry?"
 "No, thank you"
 "Will you take some quinine, then?" "No."
 Mrs. Hobson sighed.
 'Sneezes," MT. Hobson explained, are convulsions caused by an irritation of sensitive membrane. The irritation may be caused by the introduction of any small particle of foreign matter, such as a grain of dust. Snuff has been known to produce sneeze; so has pepper. You can get up fairly good imitation by tickling the nostrils with straw. It is not, as you imagine, an infallible indi- cation of cold"
 q suppose" said Mrs. Hobson, reflect lively, "that you would object to an onion poultice, too?"
 Hobson rose from his chair and started for the door. With his hand on the knob he paused to say, with dignity: "Im going up to my room now. I've got some work to do, so guess had better be alone for the rest of the evening""
 Hobson sneezed twice on the way up- stairs Then the door of his den closed explosively. Fifteen minutes later the door opened and Hobson's voice called down the stairs: "Maria!"
 What is it. dear?'
 Say, if you think I really ought to take hot foot bath suppose it won't do any particular harm, whether I've got cold or not. Would it be troubling you too much to heat the water?"
 Mrs Hobsons voice replied cheer fully:
 "Its all ready now, dear. I've heated 1t and got some blankets nice and hot. When you're ready I'll bring them up."

JOY In Work.

The spirit of art for its own sake, of
for its own sake, regardless of the re-
suits or rewards that follow after, is
coming TO be the dominat ting motive Of
every one who is worth while. The
true secret of recuperation is to make
each task II joy. This is likewise the
secret of success. \ man will do that
thing well that he loves. Nor will the
doing of it bring WEAKNESS, but beyond
little physical wear and tear, which
is soon mended, will actually renew
and rest him. There are tasks that
make us weary before we begin them.
But any work into which the soul en-
ters is IA JOY and so invigorates and
stimulates the mind that it in turn in
vigorates and stimulates the body.
President Charles w. Eliot of Har-
ward recently touched this thought in
its social relation. He said
The winning of satisfaction and content
in daily work Is the most fundamental
Unless this satisfaction and content can
be habitually won on an immense scale
the hopes and ideals OF democracy can
not be realized. Therefore Joy in work
should be the all pervading subject OF the
Industrial discussion. for 1t Is at once
motive. guide and goal
A happy people are good citizens. \
people to be happy must feel that they
have justice and must take delight In
their daily occupations.
Work should be made play. No man
should follow an occupation that is not
congenial and inspiring. The fact that
II is otherwise shows that he has not
found his niche in the world. or
course there are the derelicts and the
indolent TO whom any occupation is
Gistasteful. But they are the excep-
ton. The average human being desires
to be employed provided the employ
ment is that which belongs to him and
for which he is fitted.
Joy in work is the secret OF achieve
ment.

One of the most noteworthy OF the
baccalaureate addresses of the year
was that by President Hadley of Yale,
In which he offered just criticism of
the tendencies of this age of scien-
tltic progress and material prosperity"
Such an age, he says, finds the old
dogmas by which discipline was sup
ported undermined" Most men are
so constituted that with discipline re
Taxed they are not Eat the mercy of
blind passion" but they are lat the
mercy of an almost equally blHd spirit
Of selfish calculation" The result Is
disastrous
1t is an unfortunate fact that very few
nations have achieved wealth or dominion
without suffering loss OF faith and enthu-
siasm and remaining with the empty
husk of greatness at the very moment
when they deemed themselves most pow
erful. Tor along with the acquisition of
power there is apt to come a relaxing
of discipline. Along with the achieve
ment of the means OF industrial ease
there comes a philosophy of life which
makes industrial ease the goal and end
of human effort.
The portcnts of these things DR..
Uadley sees in our own country and
in our own time: almost every evil,
political, social or commercial, which
constitutes serious menace TO the
permanent prosperity of our country
can be traced directly TO our tolerant
acceptance of seltishness as II basis of
morality" Is this warning unneeded?
Is the doctrine of enlightened self
interest" so confidently advanced, Il
standard lofty enough to guide the race
to its great detectives? The philoso
ply of life which makes industrial ease
the goal and end of human EFFORTS
1t as n philosophy either complete or
wholesome?
In reply the New York Mail says:
To ask these questions is to answer
them, even before the backwash OF an
advancing industrial age brings the an
swer into view on its own wreckage. The
era which cxalts overmuch the gospel of
success and negects the gospel of service
carries In 1t the Identical tragedy that
poisons, at the moment of victory, the
career of the individual to whom the
world Is only Pistols oyster.
The age of selfishness is passing out.
1t has brought to the world all the evils
under which men now suffer. From 1t
grow war, greed with all its attendant
industrial and social injustice and ev-
cry species of crime known to man.
Each, If traced to its logical source,
will be found to proceed from the tap
root of selfishness. Good men and wo-
men everywhere are perceivlng this
truth and are raising their voices
against this enemy of mankind. The
progress must go on till the motto will
be, Everything for the nation, for the
race. for God-nothing for self"
