day norn1A4e, vomeS ana there IS gen. eral inspection on the quarter deck he has no fear of being reprimanded for having on soiled uniform.
 The hardest things of sailors outfit to wash are his blanket and hammock. The hammock forms part of his equip ment, but belongs to the ship. He is, however, required to keep 1t clean. His mattress and blanket are lashed into the hammock and slowed in the nettings or crates provided for that purpose.
 Every day couple or more men are detailed to stow them away and at night to break them out. It is this handling so much that gets them fear fully dirty, especially while ship is coaling. When washing his hammock, a sailor lays it flat on the deck and uses wire brush to get it clean, with the assistance of soap and lots Of Gel bow grease.''
 In visiting foreign port and before the ship has come to anchor 1t will be surrounded by "bumboats." generally bringing out washerwomen, who are usually negresses and who clamor for any work in the laundry line. They do good work and charge very little for it. They always show their refer ences from the fast ship and always
 want a new one to add to their already long list
 It is in wet and stormy weather that
 the sailor has his own troubles trying to dry his clothes. Round the uptakes
 of the smokestack there is a drying room in which clothes may be hung, but as they grow yellowish when hung there often this room is used as little as possible. In the newer men-of-war there are installed washing and drying | machines which greatly facilitate the | laundry work, making it inexcusa ble 1 for a sailor to have soiled clothes. l This machine, which dries clothes by l centrifugal motion, does the work rap- | idly and well.
 These machines, which are being | added to all the new ships. will in | time do away with all hand work. The | old familiar sight of long line of l clothes strung from bow to masthead l will no longer be seen, and the boat

 "Jimmy Less'' and the Lucky Bae."
 Have you ever noticed how clean and well dressed sailor lad looks when on shore leave, how white his clothes look when you board the ship on vis- iting days? But did you ever realize that he was his own washerman?
 With a shrill blast of his silver whfs- tie the chief boatswain's mate will pipe, Scrub and wash clothesv' and every man hurries to his bucket, gets his soiled clothes, salt water soap draws bucket of briny or fresh wa ter, as the case may be, and begins his washing.
 He is generally barefooted at this time, so that he will not wet his shoes and stockings He wears his trousers very bell shaped at the bottom in order that he may roll them up over the knee.
 After scrubbing and rubbing his clothes until clean he turns them in- side out and with stops" proceeds to get them ready for hanging up These stops are short pieces of twine. twisted and with whipped ends, that he uses in lieu of clothespins. They are fas- tened in eyelets placed at the side seams and bottom of his shirts and the waistband of his trousers. He turns all his washed clothes inside out to lrevent the right side getting soiled.
 They are then hung on line which says the Youths Companion, is run from the bow to the topmast or upper top of a. fighting mast. The well in formed man now usually puts his clothes to soak the night before in a bucket half full of water into which he has either sprinkled a handful of soap powder or a small piece of salt water soap. In the morning a little rubbing and his clothes are clean and hung up, while the 'landlubber'' has just begun.
 When they have been thoroughly dried, the chief boatswain again pipes "Scrub and wash clothes!' and every man rushes for the clothesline tC claim his own. If he fails to secure them within a reasonable time. the master at arms. or Jimmy Legs takes them down. and they go into the 'lucky bag" Then the only recourse the unlucky owner has is. to go to the mast, or the stick as the court or board ship is commonly called. and pc tition the first luff." or executive off cer, to order them released.

New York, Jan. 19.-The inherit ance by Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, wife of the United States ambassador to Great Britain, of $30,00O,000 half of the estate of her father, the late D. o. Mills, places her among the wealthiest women of the world. The other half of the $60,000,000 Mills estate was left to Mrs. Reid's brother. Ogden Mills. Recent years have seen the passing of some of the world s largest. fortunes into the hands of women. The most conspicuous in stance, of course, that of the estate of Edward H. Hartman, estimated at 5O,60O,000 which was left almost entirely to his widow. Mrs. Hartman is managing the estate with great shrewdness, and it is said to have increased considerably since MT. liar riman's death. The reserve is true of the $S0,O00 900 estate of the late Russell Sage, since his widow is de- voting the greater part of her time to giving away money. Mrs. Hetty Greens fortune came originally to her by inheritance, not from her hus- band, but from her father. She has increased its proportions by her fin ancial genius.

TO RAzE HISTORIC BUILDING
The Jay Cooke Building, Where
Civil War Was Financed, to
Be Torn Down.

WASHINGTON.-The Jay Cooke
bank building in this city, one of the
landmarks OF Washington, where the
celebrated Philadelphia financed the
United States during the trying days
of the civil war, is soon to be demol-
ished. When the building was erect
ed in the late sos Jay Cooke & Co.
moved in and occupied the first floor
The second floor was used by the
First National Bank. In the back
room, now matted with cobwebs and
discolored by time, Cooke held many
anxious consultations with Secretary
of War Stanton, and old-time resi-
dents still tell stories of how more
than once Abraham Lincoln secureS
aid there when harassed by want of
funds to keep the federal army in the
field.
President Lincoln, Secretary STAN
ton and other high government Off
Gals kept their private accounts with
Jay Cooke & Co., and many officials
of the government owed large sums
to the t1nancier. After accommodating
an immense fortune in these stupen-
dous operations Cooke saw it all
swept away in the panic Of 1873.
The house of Jay Cooke & Co. dis
appeared from the scene of it's tri-
umphs and the First National Bank
moved downstairs and took the whole
building. Other banks succeeded it,
and when the last one moved the
historic old building was sold to a
wealthy company, which will tear it
down and erect a modern skyscraper.

TRADE IN COBWEBs.
Applied to Bottles of Wine to Give
Evidence of Age.

In Europe, especially in France
and Germany, there exists quite a
trade in cobwebs to be applied to
bottles of wine thought to call for
that additional evidence of age. The
dealer who furnishes cobwebs to the
wine sellers has likewise a liquor
that softens and colors the cork to
make it assume the stains of time.
These cobwebs are not spread upon
bottles without due preparation.
They are previously STEPPED in gum
in order that they may the more
readily adhere to the bottle. When
they have been laid upon the botLle
a little SCOT is sprinkled upon them,
which final touch completes the de-
sired appearance of great age.
