MANNING THE STATIONS.
Discipline Aboard Ship at Sea In
Times Of Emergency.

Discipline Aboard Ship at Sea In
Times Of Emergency.
At no time is the perfect organiza-
ton aboard ship SO well illustrated as
in the time of an emergency. The
slightest scent of danger In the wind
must find every man ready. And
every man is ready. Every man has
a number Every man has station.
A bell tap may send your dining room
steward off at run just when he is
serving your soup. At the bell tap he
is no longer your steward. He is
mo. 49, in the ships emergency or
ganization, and when he gets to his
station he finds Nos. "a, rs, 230, III.
24S and some others there to act with
him like a machine. Aboard big
ship there are sometimes as many as
sixty stations about the vessel, and at
the sound of an alarm bell thirty sec
onds have not elapsed before every
man has responded to his number at
his station and Is ready to act, to fight
fire, to man the lifeboats, or what not.
Up in the wheelhouse is further ex-
emplification of what system will do.
Within reach Of the officers are 4
dozen contrivances Of machinery that
connect with every part Of the ship.
A touch of one lever closes bulk
head in this or that compartment OF
the hold, touch Of another mans all
emergency stations. lever here mans
lifeboat so-and-so, and lever there
mans any one or all. Here is tele-
phone, its wires extending to every
part of the ship, and an officers voice
carried to distance station in the
bowels of the ship Is SO magnified
by mechanical means that 1t can be
heard twenty feet from the receiver
and fairly bellows its orders.
A sailor or steward never knows at
what minute, day or night, he may be
called to his station. At the sound Of
the signal bell he must be at his post.
There Is drill of some kind every
day aboard ship, but the men never
know whether they are running to
real fire or only drill Boats are un-
covered, falls overhauled, davits swung
out Every boat must have its COM
pass, night signals, fresh water and
provisions ready for immediate action.
From the chart room the captain can
start squad In the most remote part
Of the ship simply by pressing but
ton, and the flashing of tiny electric
lights faithfully record how every de-
tail of the drill is being carried out
A chart gives the location of all bulk
heads, and tiny light sparkles when
this or that water tight compartment
is closed. In case Of a collision every
bulkhead below the water line is closed
by turn of lever In the wheelhouse,
making the modern ship practically
unsinkable-Van Vliet Aiding in Book

AN UNCERTAIN RIVER.
The indus Has a Bad Habit Of Chang.
ina Its Channel.

Ing Its Channel.
The river Indus in width during the
year may vary by miles. Traffic for
long distances cannot be guaranteed
because the ever shifting channel
throws up mud flats and sand banks
here and overwhelms good land there
in a manner which defeats the wis
dom of the ancient boatmen.
With the Indus, too, 1t Is not merely
q question of land or water. There is
always gamble as to the kind of
land which the river will recede from.
In one place 1t will leave magnificent
soil ready at once to take n splendid
crop Of wheat even If the winter rains,
as is too often the case, amount to
nothing. In another the greater mois-
ture will only allow leguminous plants
Of country peas and pulses. In the
dampest ooze of depressions plant
caller shamuka Is produced, Of little
value save AS fodder, but beautiful
with Its bright green color and excel
lent to the sportsman as an attraction
to foeks of gray and bar headed
geese. Other lands again will grow
nothing but long reeds and low tama-
risk scrub. These, II properly placed In
the neigbborhood of fields, have their
value as preserves for black par
tridges and hare, but for utlltarian
purposes can only provide materials
for hunting or at best give employ
ment to the makers of fan handles;
but. alas, there is the possibility that
In the place OF soil-good, bad or indif-
ferent-sand only may be thrown up,
and the Indus has bad reputation for
the amount of sand 1t carries. Native
lore gives the river the title of "fille
de joie."-Ailahabad Pioneer

He Daxed Low Wallace.

Shortly after the first success Of
"Ben-Hur" Lew Wallace had occasion
to go over to London and one day
picked up a pirated copy of the novel
at railroad newsstand. To his
amazement he found the subtitle left
off, a preface interpolated and one of
the chapters rewritten. OF course be
boiled with rage, and as soon as pos
sible he called on the publisher. That
gentleman coolly admitted his crime
and told Wallace he thought the
amended form better adapted to the
British taste, doncherknow. His gall
was SO stupendous that the novelist
was awed and went away without
splitting his gore.

II Was Good Advice.

A wildly turbulent peasant was once
witness in trial before Chief Baron
O'Grady The counsel, after Fostering
him for some time, put a question to
him which reflected on the witness
character.
"If We az me that again III give We a

The counsel appealed to the court
stating that an answer was necessary
to his clients case, ending up with
the query, "What would your lordshir

question:" replied the court, I'D advise

The asp borrows poison from che II
uor.-Latin Proyerb

That the roots of many native plants, grow
ing wild in our American forests, possess
remarkable properties for the cure of human
maladies is we'll proven. Even the untutored
Indian had learned the curative value OF some
of these and taught the early settlers their
uses. The Indian never liked to work so he
wanted his sQuaw to get well as soon as pos
sible that she might do the work and let him
hunt Therefore, he dug "papoose root for
her, for that was their great remedy for fe-
male weakness. DIR. Pierce uses the same
root-called Blue Cohosh--in his "Favorite
Prescription" skillfully combined with other
agents that make it more effective than any
other medicine in curing all the various weak
nesses ard painful arrangement peculiar to
women.

The native elephant driver never has
to bother with step ladder in mount
ing his beast after he has trained him
for little time, for the easiest way
to get up is to ascend by way Of the
trunk. Standing in front Of the ele-
plant, the driver grasps him by the
ears. this being signal that he wishes
to mount, and the obedient monster
promptly arches his trunk SO that the
master can easily step upon 1t and &c

THOSE LITTLE HAMMERS.

II has been a source of personal
pleasure to know that some of our en-
terprising citizens have commenced
boosting for Athena. A public park

for regret that we must record the fact
that some have gotten out their little
hammers and commenced "knook-

confinement to put the knockers. But
who would be door keeper? Let US
confess that we are too much inclined
to knook-knock on enterprise. knock
our merchants--in fact knock every
thing but the thing that needs .knock-
ing, and then when someone has the
"grit" to knock the thing that needs
it, someone at once begins to knock on
him.

proyement. What shall we dc to
bring it aboutF One thingis to put'up

ATHENA. ORE. cAPRIL e....... 1909

Canada has a problem in its Senate.
AS at present constituted it is an ap-
pointed not an elected body, and the
appointments are for life. Ii either
of the two parties remains in office
long time naturally the political com
plexion of the senate changes, for the
vacancies caused by death or resigna-
tion are filled by appointees of the
same politics as the government. The
result is not good and there is much
dissatisfaction ever it. Now the SEN
ate is considering plan of having
two thirds of its mem bership. elected.
The idea is to have each province
divided into senatorial districts, the
number in each province to be deter
mined by its population.
