BALs AWAITING.
Lucky Breeze Saves Marines From
 the SoIp Bowl.

From the Atlantic Monthly.
 At Il o'clock at night, while the captain and myself were engaged on deck in our usual game. the second officer, MT. Me Farland, came up excitedly, and said, "Captain Mather there are breakers ahead" The islands had been visible for day or so. and now were not far distant on ether hand.
 We went to the bow and looked and listened. The roar of the breakers was as audible as that of the surf on the south shore of Long Island The night was clear, and the light of the moon end the stars was brilliant. The wind lad almost died away; the canvas was full spread; the sails hanging idly, oc- easlonally hopping. We soon found that very strong current was setting us in rapidly toward the breakers, and that the wind wholly failed to help us counter it. We at once equipped two large boats with studding sails and hal- wards for two lines, manned the boats with six oarsmen each, and lowered them from the 1avits. They instantly took hold of the ship, and the twelve oars were vigorously pulled. With the ut most eXertion of the oarsmen TOT hours the ship only swung found head on to the current and the men could barely hold the ship steady
 With the Id of the glass We saw thous- ands of natives at point on the shores. evidently waiting for our approach, and expecting disaster. They were reputed to be cannibals. and our chances were discussed with considerable interest. The captain, then in reduced flesh. assured the chief officer, usually plump and ], feshy, that he 0he chief offieer) would be roasted and carved first, and that he (the captain, would be kept awhile ai | least till they could fatten him. We generously passed down good Jamaica rum to the oarsmen and encouraged 1 every exertion. After several hours oi l toll and tension a breeze-a blessed breeze a favoring breeze-sprang up, filled our sails and cnabled us to claw off, and slowly round the southern islands of the group.

There were few sucl modulations as '"Once over, Clean, bus not too close and all that sort of thing We were shaved, then the chin was swabbed with bay rum and some years later powder was added. It is only a few years ago that the use of witch ha- gel in New ! ork barber shops became al all common The hot towel'-that de- light of the tender-sl1inned-is still newer.
 "Yes, the latter-day New Yorker doesn't know all he has to be thankful for in the tonsoIial line. Ten or twtlve years ago you might still see in the lower class of barber-shops sign read ing; Shave. 10 Cents With Bay Rum 15.' That sign is survival of the days when a regular shave had absolutely no accompaniment in the form of libations and when such additions cost exert How would you nave liked to be alive then?
 "But in one respect the Gotham barber of 1860 had the call on his brother of the twentieth century. He could trim a beard to the queens taste. Nine bar bers out of ten were expert beard trim mers. Now a-davs about one barber in four can trim beard so that it won't look like lightning blasted heath,

Woes of Man Who Got Shaved in Old
 New York.

From the New York World.
 +rve been shaving-or, rather. I've been shaved-for upwards of forty years" said the Man Whose Turn Came Next, as he watched the barber laying a sustomers chin with various mixtures. And l can tell you there have been more innovations in New Yorks barber shops during that time than in almost any other local trade. For instance forty or even thirty years ago there was enc barber-shop where now you will find ten. As for a shop of the sort in an office building, that was unheard or For cne thing, the four and five story office buildings of those days offered scant practice to an ambitious barber.
 "I can remember, too, when bootblaclSs became a feature of big bar-shops. That was considered a tremendous innovation. and the first New York barber-shop with q bootblack attachment had a run of GUS tom that should have made it's owner rich. A lalge proportion of New York's barbers were eoored men in those days. Now you seldom see a colored barber.

 In the choice of his staff, Colonel Ken nedy has been most fortunate. He has stuck to military men throughout, and every man has had long training in the A. N G. Adjutant Smith Is one of the most thorough military men in the city, and as captain of the Oxford company he had one of the best organizations in the A. N. G.
 Major Northington is now captain and assistant surgeon on the staff of the commanding officer of the Second, but he is a Birmingham boy and would nat urally rather be with the Third. He Is one of the most popular and success full young physicians in Birmingham.
 Arthur Welborn will make an excellent quartermaster, as he has had good deal of experience in this line, and is considered hard worker, which is need ed in the place he is to occupy. Captain Edmundson gives every assurance of fur nlshlng good commissary for the regi- ment and he has reputation for Know ing just what will please the soldiers.
 Captain Smith of Decatur is also 8 thorough military man, and will make an excellent ordnance officer. Captain Evans, now commanding the Woodlawn company, has shown great ability as l commanding officer, having raised the woodawn company until 1t now ranks as one of the best in the regiment He is specially strong as an instructor or 1 guard duty.
