CHEERFUL WOMEN
How to Keep Happy.


~ ESPONDENCY is a thing Of evil
origin and evil results Worry
- produces nothing but wrinkles
and wretchedness. Let the
reader put up little note on her bureau,
on her desk, and at the head of her bed,
just two words, DON'T WORRY. Worry
Is the greatest foe to the happiness Of
any household. An anxious, despond-
eut face, fretful, complaining voice,
viii make every one uncomfortable.
A womaus nerves are more truly the
cause Of worry than outside troubles
The nerves are to a woman's body the
telegraph system, which surely warns her
Of any trouble in the feminine makeup.

sAD FORM OF TETTER.

For three years I had Tetter on my hands,
which caused them to swell to twice their
natural size. Part of the time the disea5e
was in the form of running sores, very pain
full, and causing me much discomfort. Four
doctors said the Tetter had progressed too
far to be cured, and they could do nothing
for me. Itook only three bottles of s. S. S.
and was completely cured. This was fifteen
years ago, and have never since seen any
sign Of my old trouble.

KANSAS CRY, Mo-, May, 1898.
In 1896 I experienced at times
patches on the inside Of my hends that
itched and burned, causing much dis

worse. I had read medicine in my
early twentics (now so years Of age)
and was convinced that was afflicted
with a type Of Eczema. I consulted
several physicians and a number Of
specialists, and used several external
applications, one Of which was claim

therein dollars as he sells fish and paying
out when he buys rum, mofasses and hard
In the stocking on his return in full of all
accounts With such a system 1T was
necessary to trust the captain and to pro-
vide literally for his welfare. 1t was a
natural outgrowth of these conditions that
on every voyage the captain had either
portion of the hold given to him in which
to store his own goods or else received
share in the owners profits. These were
great The trade was growing, the de-
mand for men continually increasing and
promotion rapid. New England boys went
to sea in their teens and when twenty
one were often masters and part owners
of valuable ships. Nathaniel Silsbee, who
was afterwards United States senator
from Massachusetts, was master of an
East Indiaman before he was twenty.
Sons Followed Their Fathers
Under such conditions the merchant
marine was to New England in the latter
part of the eighteenth and the earlier
years of the nineteenth century what Wall
street is to New York today. The sons of
the great shipping merchants began life
on their fathers ships, sometimes as sup
ercargoes and not infrequentIy as COM
mon seamen. In general. however. they
served as apprentices, knewa in the slang
The Saint Paul globe., 1905-01-22

to all parts of the world 1t was then
the ambition of boys born in the coast
town to walk the quarter deck, and in
their estimation at least the captain of
an American deep water vessel was as
great a power as an admiral of the blue.
In those early days to every captain there
was open the prospect of retiring from
the sea with a competence sufficient to
establish trading house or his own. The
successful sailor Of thirty was often che
wealthy merchant of fifty, and even if he
remained at sea he was usually able to
leave his family a comfortable sum when
he died.
At the beginning of the nineteenth CEN
tury William Sturgis shipped at seven
teen before the mast; two years later he
was captain and manager in the China
trade, and at twenty nine he had left the
sea to establish his great firm which con-
trolled half the trade with China. Cap
tains in those days were something more
than the pilots of a deep sea ferryboat.
Where there We're no telegraph lines, no
cables, no railroads and but few letters.
the master Of trading vessel was as
much of merchant as he was of a sail
or, and to him the financial fortunes of
the owner were entrusted as well as the
ship and the lives of his crew.

BuIlen records an instance of one captain
who made practice of taking down
saucepan from the cooks galley and wip-
ing it out with a white handkerchief. Ii
the handkerchief bore any traces of dust
or grease the cook heard from the skip
per in no mild way. Another captain was
accustomed to put his handkerchief on
the end of stick and then poke the stick
>into every corner or crevice Of the carved
woodwork Of the saloon. Dust upon the
end of the stick meant a stormy day for
the saloon steward
New Means for Training Officers
While in America the deep sea trade no
longer offers opportunity for the exercise
of the talents of ambitious young men,
the great maritime nations are adopting
new means for training officers of their
merchant marine. In England, where the
merchant service represents a capital OF
s125. 600 600. the training of men competent
to take charge of it is facilitated in every
feasible way and the calling Of an Of
ficer of the merchant marine is recog-
nized as honorable and of Importance In
the extension OF British power and in
fluence For the education OF future COM
rnanders of merchant craft training ships

as compared with his predecessor of the
last century sea captain is seldom now

cordingly he is not called upon to securs

and agents. But the commander OF the
modern vessel must know many things

electric machinery and of much more
complicated construction than were the
old timers, and these new conditions cali
for especial training and knowledge. and

especially valuable to his country In time

composed OF officers OF the merchant
service, affords material which could Dc

number of seamen employed makes II
much easier to find crews for cruisers and
battIeshfps than is the case in this coun-
try The three sailing vessels now being
built by the United States government
and the two training ships. the ST. Mary
and the Saratoga, maintained at their own
expense by the cities OF New York and
Philadelphia, are the outcome of the reah-
zation of the fact that without sailors TO

Special to The Globe .
WASHINGTON, D.. c.. Jan. 21-The
discussion of measures for the revival of
the American merchant marine has in
cidentaIly revealed the fact that the
American boy has not lost the spirit of ad-
venture and the love for a calling which
would take him to distant parts of the
world and give him chance to show his
courage and enterprise Men who are
familiar with shipping matters have re-
gently received letters from all parts OF
The country asking how young Americans
may fit themselves for service ia the mer-
chant marine, but just now. it is impos-
sible to give the writer's of these letters
much encouraging advice, for American
ships today carry less than per cent Of
the country's foreign commerce, proper
ton in striking contrast to that which
obtained during the first three quarters Of
the last century. With the disappearance
of American ships from the seas there
has been lost the opportunity formerly
enjoyed by young Americans to enter
upon an honorable and lucrative career,
and this is matter which is likely to re-
ceive good deal of attention during the
discussion of the general subject.
In the palmy days of the clipper ships
the merchant marine was largely man
aged by young men Vessels we're cap
tainei by youths who had scarce attain

of those days as ships cousins, ana
were regarded as brevet officers. Natural
ly they were spared some of the ordinary
drudgery of the sailors life, but tneir
training in seamanship was as thoreugh
and practical as that of the Tougnest salior
before the mast The Puritanism OF Ne"
England was not infrequently carried on
board ship. Nathaniel An1es, Harvard
graduate, has recorded the fact mat ON
the first vessel on which he served, every
fo'castle hand was obliged to bring Ger
tiffeate OF good moral character from tne
clergyman whose church he had attended
last.
With the establishment of fast packer
lines and the growth of the rich trade
with China there was developed new
aristecracy of the sea which rapidly sup
planted the old-time merchant captain
The master OF the packet or the emma

Mersey two of these vessels, the Worces-
ter and the Conway, are anchored. On
board well to do young men of good fam
lily are trained for the merchant service
as Systematically and as carefully as are
the future officers OF the royal navy.
Such seamanship as can be taught on
stationary ship is, of course. the main
subject in the curriculum of these floating
colleges, but naval architecture, foreign
languages and engineering are also con-
sidered necessary for the proper equip
ment of first class officer of the mer-
chant marine In addition to these high
class training ships, life on board of which
involves some expense, there are num-
ber of other vessels designed to afford
somewhat similar training to boys whose
parents are unable to afford the expense
of sending them to the Worcester and
Conway. Moreover, every well known firm
of ship owners carries on its rolls num-
ber of apprentices. many of whom pay
more than ESQ for the privilege of four
years experience on board ship. When
their four years are over these boys are
entitled to examination for a certificate as
second mate, and from then on to the
time when they find themselves in pos
session of the much priced masters GER
tificate, their rise is watched by the board
of trade.

that this was not the bottom of the
