Advice To Young Men.

Young men, keep out of poll
tics, says Senator Platt. That adj
vice would be all right if Senator
Platt had said: keep out of Repub-
lican machine politics, which are
rotten to the core. Every citizen OF
a republic should take enough in
terest in politics to investigate the
policies of the parties and vote-al-
ways vote according to the result of
his Investigations. Young men es-
pecially should take an interest in
politics, for It is upon the young
men of today that the government
of the Republic viii rest tomorrow.
Some young man Of today will be,
in a few years, President of this
great country, or he viii be Senator,
or Congressman, or Governor of his
state. What would happen if the
young men of the country keep
out Of politics2' Young men should

Reporter Howe's Experiences on the Trip Up
Deep-Sea Vessels and the Strange
Ways of Sailor Folk.

+ the same al a woman at home on lana.
The captains living quarters are fur
nished with bathtub and all modern
conyeniences, and occupy the rear end
of the ship. The sailors live in the
front part of the boat, where the
kitchen. or galley. is also located. The
men work in four hour shifts. There
is always something to be done on
ship. and if there is nothing else to
occupy them. they are put at work
scrubbing the decks. This is a prac-
tice on all ships, steamers as well as
sailing vessels. the idea being to give
the men something to do. The deck
of a battleship is probably scrubbed
more than anything else in the world,
the officers approaching the fact that
as long as the men are at work, there
is less thance for them to get into trou-
BILE among themselves.
Sailors never use lanterns on ship.
When it is necessary to change sails,
or take in canvas on account of
storm, the men go about their work
on deck and aloft without any light
whatsoever A sudden storm is the
time sailors are needed most. When
with the increase of a breeze the mate
decides to take in the sails, all hands
are ordered on deck, and the men climb
into the rigging, even to the highest
point on the mast, usually about $50
feet wheSe the immense sheets of
white canvas are hauled in, and dashed
to the cross bars. 1t is wonderful how
the men perform their work with the
gale blowing and the ship rocking from
side to side, plunging up and down and
the masts trembling as if to rid them
selves of their human burden. I used
to watch. them for hours and marvel
at their dexterity, but they never look

Sailors at sea are not "grandstand

Sailors are very superstitious. They
have all sorts of ideas about good and
bad luck. On the "Kaiulani," the
sailors caught shark. After letting
it flop about the deck awhile, they cut
off it's tail and fins and threw it over
board. The cruelty impressed me, and

prevailing, I felt as though something
would happen to that ship to repay the

There is the captain. sometimes ac-

engaged at some task; about the ship,
and are seldom in the humor to an

sc, 900 bags of raw sugar. The trip re-
quired seventeen days, this being fast

two weeks and a half away from the
world seems months when one is not
used to it. Dozens of sailing ships with
cargoes of sugar, go from the Hawai-

SUMMER DRINKS IN CUBA.

Cafes are found everywhere in Ha-

the tables are not on the sidewalk, as
in the latter place. the cafes all are
open to the street, the sides of the
buildings literally rolling up like cur

counters in these refreshment places
are piled high with fresh fruit Of
every description and also green cocoa
nuts. Many drinks are made with the
native fruits like the guanabana or
sour sop. and the anona or sweet sop,
and the sopotas or star apples. These
fruits are also made into ice creams,
which are very good and quite unlike
anything in the ice variety in America.
Lemonade in Cuba is invariably flavor
ed with cinnamon, and the addition is
a pleasing one to the average taste.

also new to Americans, although the
paste can be purchased in any grocer's
in America. One of the most popular
