HeIping Kim Out.

Mrs. Hoyt, wife of Charles Hoyt, the
playwright, added much to the enjoy
ment Of Lambs club banquet in Chi
cago by her sharp and witty tongue,
always ready for home thrust. Mr..
Hoyt was second on the list Of speakers
and was badly frightened. He con-
Guided that he would plunge quickly
into his speech when called upon, and,
with this idea, he arose briskly when
announced and started in: Ladies and
gentlemen, feel honored, I'm sure, by
this request Of the POSTMASTER, but it
is 80 unexpected l really had no time to
prepare-a-I really had no time to pre-
pare-a"- And he stopped. Every one
felt sorry for him, but Mrs. Hoyt seem
ed in no way disturbed. When she no.
ticed his predicament she turned to-
ward him suddenly and called out,
why, Charley, you did it perfectly
this morning.

WHY THEY ARE POOR.

Their ideas are larger than their
purses.
They are easy dupes of schemers and
promoters.
They reverse the maxim, DUTY be-
fore pleasure
They have too many and too expen-
Sive amusements.
They do not think 1t worth while to
save nickels and dimes
They have risked a competence in
trying TO get rich quickly.
They allow friends TO impose upon
their good nature and generosity
They try TO do what others expect Of
them, not what they can afford.
They prefer to incur debt rather than
to do work which they consider be-
meath them.
They think it will be time enough to
begin to save for rainy day when the
rainy day comes.
They risk all their eggs in one basket
when they are not in position TO
watch or control it.-Success.

Reading and Thinking.

The things one merely reads about
never stick. Those on which one
thinks become permanent acquisitions;
hence the man who is not afraid OF
thinking and who does not dread that
cursed hour in the dark" is at a dis
tinct advantage on every ground. He
passes the time without being bored,
and he strengthens his mind. To say
this may no doubt sound slightly prig-
gish, but it is none the less true. The
man who can enjoy and make use of
his own thoughts has heritage which
can never be alienated. Even blindness
for him loses some Of its terrors.-

A congressman who thought that one
Of the great national parties was trying
too hard to find an issue when there
was no issue in sight rebuked his op-
ponents by telling this story:
"a client of mine has large family
and accordingly is rather pressed for
money. He came to me joyfully one
day, declaring that he had found oil
flowing from spring on his land and
bringing me a sample.

THE SHIPS COMPANY
HOW A MODERN OCEAN LINER Is
OFFlCEREO AND MANNED.

The Captain Vested With Absolute
Power Over Passengers and Crew.
Responsibilities of the Chief En-
Einecr-A Floating City.
One Of the most remarkable things
about the modern ocean liner is the
fact that while at sea she gives EN-
ploymcnt to between 800 and 800 peo-
Pile II might seem incredible that
any vessel, even one capable of carry
ing from 1900 to 1000 passengers,
could keep so many men occupied, but
1t is true that full count of the otfi-
GERS and crew on any one OF the mod
crn Atlantic steamships will give at
least the former figure, while on the
biggest and most famous ships, such
us the Oceanic, Cedric and st. Louis, 1t
falls not far short of the latter.
To begin with the organization Of
the ships company from the top, there
is first of all the captain. He is the
absolute master of the ship and of all
on board, with direct responsibility for
her safety to her owners and to the
travelling public at large He has con-
troll of the ships navigation and of
her internal affairs us well, and he Is
privileged to clap a member of the
crew or a passenger who does not be-
have himself into irons if he deems it
necessary. Perhaps nowhere else can
one find an example of such absolute
and despotic power as the ship captain
may WELD if occasion requires.
Under the captain the administration
of the big vessel is divided among three
departments. The first of these is the
deck department, which has charge of
the navigation of the vessel; the second
is the engineers department, devoted to
operating the boilers and engines, the
power producing branch of the steam
ship; the third is the passenger depart
ment, presided over by the purser and
the chief steward and having for its
chief function to look after the com
fort of the travellers for whom the
great ship and her elaborate staff
primarily exist
In the deck department are various
officers, usually the chief officer or first
officer, second and junior second. third
and Junior or third officers The chief
officer is the captains assistant. He
relieves the latter on the bridge, takes
his place in the daily inspection of the
ship and has charge particularly over
the cleanliness of the ship. seeing to it
that every part is in spick and span
order. The second officers take turns at
standing watch on the bridge and su
perintending the decks, while the jun
ior officers, as the thirds are called, are

Why the President Smiles.

BY the way, a lady of the official
circle claims she has made a discov-
cry as to the origin of one of the pres
ident's best known traits. 1t is the
habit Of keeping smile or the sem
blance of a smile on his face on all oc-
casionS. IF you ever saw the preSi-
dent when he was forced to Danish
his smile." this lady contided to a
friend the other day, you would un-
derstand why it is he has acquired the
habit of wearing it on all possible oc-
casions l never saw him without it
until the other day at Mrs Hoar's fu-
neral, and | give you my word l don't
want to see him without it again No
one would call his face handsome or
attractive, even when he looks his best
and smiles his genialeSt But when
his face is in absolute repose and not
only serious, but solemn We'll. it's
enough to Startle a timiu person. It's

that out long ago and that's why he

THE CITY OF LIGHT.
Philadelphia Claims to BE Brightest
Town at Night.

Philadelphia now claims to be sthe
best lighted city in the United States
II is led to make this claim after hay
ing erected 800 new electric street
lights and us a result of comparison
with the number of street lights main
tanned by other cities.
The Quaker City now maintains
nearly 10000 lights, or. to be exact,
9.9T7. Chicago, covering Il much larger
area. now operates 4,SSl arc lamps
from its municipal plants and rents
G01 more are lamps, which are oper-
atod by private companies. making
total of ,1,iN6 electric street lights. In
addition to these lights, however, Chi
cage has -,5,0D gas lamps and G,2OO
gasoline la:aps. Iii the absence of fig
ures regarding PhilHdelpha's gas lamps
it is not possible to make comparisons
as to total lights Of AL kinds. In the
matter of are lamps, however it is evi-
dent that Philadelphia is away ahead
of Chicago
The history Of street lighting in Phil
adelphia is Interesting because it is q
history of the dcNe!9Dlannt of the are
light. When Brush of Cleveland in
vented tie are light. as every one
knows, he had Il hard time convincing
city authorities OF its rracticabilit 1t
was ridiculed by inventors and electrl-
clans ana it, fail;lro predicted. After
many unsuccessful et3'oltS to secure its
adoption in IhilHdell njA a local com
pany offered 10 light Chestnut street
With the are lights for Il year for moth
ing. The offer WAS accepted in a city
ordinance passed by the Philadelphia
council on June 20, 1851. ard the dark
and gloomy thorOughfHre was convert
ed into Il brilliantly lighted promenade.
This marked the beginning of y very
wide and rapid extension of the arc
lighting system not only in Phladel
phia, but all over the Union. In Phil
adelphia. it is claimed, the increase Of
lights has caused great decrease in
crime, burglary and thievery being
very rare 1t has also effected a great
change in house architecture. the old
fashioned outside "shutters' being
done away with and ornamented glass

THE CAPTAIN AT HIS POST ON THE BRIDGE.
employed in the steering of the vessel,
one Of them being constantly engaged
in this work, with the assistance of the
quartermasters.
Then a number of petty officers is to
be noted in the deck department, such
as the quartermasters who perform the
actual work of steering the ship; the
chief boatswain and his assistants. who
look after the rigging and deck equip
ment, and the carpenter, who is respon-
sible for the good order of the sparS,
boats, water tanks and decks and who
inSpectS these and also the maStS, yards
and pumps twice each day. Besides
these officers, there are the ordinary
seamen, who perform all sorts Of du-
ties, from working the deck machinery
to scrubbing the decks and rails to
keep them in shining order Altogether
from forty to fifty men are employed
in the Geek department.
At the head of the engine department
is the chief engineer, who has as as
SiStant officers what are known as first,
second and third engineers Next to
the captains post the chief engineers
is the most responsible station in the
operation Of the liner and the engineer
has under him Il great number of work
ers-the trimmers, who bring the coal
from the bunkers to the fire rooms the
stokers, who feed it into the always
hungry furnaces, and the %reasers, who
keep the engine parts clean and we'll
oiled. There are also a number of
men who look after the pumps, the
blowers and the electrical plant which
is under the chief engineers super
vision.
In the passenger department there
are two very important officers, one Of
these being the purser, the man with
whom the passengers come into con-
tact most frequently and who is large
ly responsible for the popularity or un-
popularity of the ship.
The other principal officer in this de-
partment is the chief steward, who ex-
ercises authority over a small army of
stateroom stewards, saloon stewards,
stewardesses, cooks, scullions, store
keepers and bootblacks, and who Sc
lects the food and makes out the menus
for the meals. H5
