Decline Of the Boats,yaIn.

The rumored disestablishment Of
boastwnins. AS an anachronism dating
from the days of sail, Is no more like.
ly TO come to pass than the extermina.
ton OF the carpenters AZ a survival OF
the wooden age. But the former class
have little enough share in the gen.
eral Improvement Of service condi-
uons. What was said in Truth the
other day as to the gunrers getting all
the plums out OF the pudding is partic.
ularly borne out by one grievance un.
der which the bo'suns labor. In 1891
there were nearly 400 boatswains and
like number OF gunnsrs. The respec.
tive proportion OF chiefs and warrants
we're about equal. Today there are
262. including IL i.eutenants and 27
warrants; while there are $50 gun.
ners. including SO lieutenants and, ~
warrants. The expansion of the lat.
ter branch is a natural and necessary
corollary OF the growth OF the fieet.
but 1t Is equally true that the shrink.
age OF the former class is unnatural

TRAGEDY OF TOMATO VINE
Practical Person Makes Discovery
After Nel0hbors Had Given Voice
to Their Wonderment.

Now doth the amateur agricultural
flourish and wax proud at his Luther
Burbank achievements, says the
Brooklyn Eagle. One such nursed a
lone tomato plant from delicate and
sickly infancy to robust maturity.
With all a mothers tender care he
ministered to that plant. lie watered
1t. brushed the dust off It. pleaded with
II, encouraging 1t to better things.
Then one day a member Of the family
rushed into the house with glad It'd
fngs. There was real tomato on the
vine.
What an assemblagc there Was
about that plant! The block was de-
populated temporarily. Amateur az
riculturists climbed on each others
necks to view the wonder. The head
OF the house inspected It through n
masnifying glass. His spouse clapped
her hands and exclaimed: AT last
we shall have our own salad from our
own vine" Even the watchman from
4 row OF empty houses nearby was
called to look. and he remarked SOL
emnly that he never saw such a large
tomato on such a small vine"
Then came along one OF those hor-
ribly practical persons. who said It
couldn't he. and had to have a closer
look. He spoiled II all by his discov-
cry that the tomato had been tied on
with string, and II you want to know
who tied It on ask the woman who
