WHAT-SAILORS EAT.
A Diet that is Largely Made
Up of “Salt-Horse,*’
Origin of the Term* and Other Facts About
Seamen's Food Aboard Ship.
. Perhaps some of • the young admirers
of a “life on the ocean wave” would like
to know how they fare aboard ship.
There is no mother’s pantry
to visit. Each sailor fur
nishes his own tin plate, coffee-cup and
knife aud fork. Uc has no table placed
for his convenience. When “grub” is
ready to be served the cook gives the
signal. A sailor comes and receives a
pan of bread, another takes a pan of
beef, the third takes the large coffee
pot, with hash or potatoes, as the cook
chooses. The bill of fare is fixed by law.
At the beginning of the voyage the cap
tain calls his crew aft and inquires if
there are any who wish to have their
food weighed. They always prefer to
eat as much ns they cau “stow away.”
The sailors eat in the forecastle. If
they are disposed, they can rig them
selves a table; otherwise they must sit
around on trunks or the deck in rough
weather, and take their raitions The
officers eat with the captain in the cabin,
where a table is set aud furnished the
same as at home. A rack is used in
rough weather to keep the dishes from
dancing. If there is a good cook on
board, everything goes well, but an un
skilled cook makes all hands miserable.
During rough weather passengers do
not attempt to sit at the table, but take
whatever they require in their hands
and eat the best way they can. One
day a sailor was eating his rations during
rough weather, when the ship gave
a lurch, and a piece of beef went gallop
ing across the deck. The saiior raised
his fork, and making a dash for the beef,
shouted: “Stop that horse!” The
sailors call their beef “salt horse.” The
story which they tell is this: “One voy
age, when the beef was particularly
tough, a horeshoe was found in the bot
tom of the beef barrel, whereupon one
of the sailors got up the following
rhyme:
‘Old horse, old horse, what brought you
here?’
* Prom Saccarap to Portland pier,
I was dragging lumber for many a year,
I was kicked and cuff oil with sore abuse
Aud saltod down for sailors’ use.
B-'tween 1 10 mainma taud the puinp3
I was salted down iu great big chunks;
They hauled mo out and picked my bones,
Then Love me over to Davy Jouos. ’ ”
The captain of a sailing ship was
asked by his wife if she couldn’t give
the sailors a good dinner. He replied
that he was afraid it would make them
saucy. Sue finally prevailed. A fine
turkey was procured from shore and
given to the cook, who served it up in
good order and gave it to the sailors.
One gave a scrutinizing glance and ex
claimed: “What is this old bird doing
here?” Another said : “I wonder how
old it is? Must have died of old age.”
The third remarked that if it had been
good for anything they would have kept
it in the cabin. They finally hove it
overboard and made a dinner of “salt
horse.” The captain’s wife after that
never meddled with her husband’s house
keeping.
Sometimes a dolphin is caught, and as
you watch the dying colors of blue and
gold as he writhes upon the deck, visions
of savory chowder and fresh fried fish
pass before you.
With what an important air the cook
comes into the cabin and asks for a piece
of silver, which he puts into the frying
pan with the sputtering fish. If the
silver turns black he considers the fish to
heve been poisoned. He says they some
times eat the copper from the bottom of
a ship or from copper banks. How
anxiously we await the test those on shore
can never kuow. The silver is usually
found to be bright and shiaing, and the
luxury of a fresh-fish dinner is enjoyed
with unadulterated happiness. Often a
porpoise is harpooned, and then there is
great excitement. The liver and heart
taste similar to those of a hog, but one
must be exceedingly hungr\ r to enjoy the
meat. It has one virtue- that of being
fresh. The oil is usually saved, being
quite valuable. That fouud iu the head
is much esteemed for oiling clocks, etc.
When a Spanish mackerel is caught a
savory dinner may be expected.
During severe storms the cook has
many trials trying to serve his meals. Iu
carrying the dinner from the galley to
the cabin he is sometimes struck by a
heavy sea, the basket washed from his
grasp, the dinner and dishes wrecked.

Cartons Cat Stories.
On the battlefield of Sebastopol a week
subsequent to the conflict cats were found
chngiug to the knapsacks of their
masters, whom they refused to
after their death.
A curious story is related by a cor
respondent of the London BV.d of a
tabby cat which produced and success
fully reared a family of five kittens in a
disused magpie’s nest at the top of an
elm tree.
A cat carried a live snake into a dwel
ling house of W. H. Stephenson at
Hartwell, Ga., and when it was dis
covered was playing with it as if it were
a rat. The snake was killed and the
cat’s fun destroyed.
A noted singer of Paris once had a cat
possessed of such an ability to detect a
musical imperfection that she never sang
a piece in public until she had sung it to
puss, confident that she would please an
audience if her rendition was satisfac
tory to the cat.
Among the Copts (says a writer in the
Cosmopolitan), the descendants of the
inhabitants of ancient Egypt, the notion
is entertained to this day that twins
(until 10 or 12 years of age), if they go
to bed hungry, roam about in the guise
of cats, their bodies lying at home ap
parently dead.
Some felines may be destitute of grati
tude; all are not. A cat, whose leg had
been mangled by a trap, was tenderly
nursed by its mistress until the wound
was healed. Thenceforward for many
months each mouse that became its prey
was taken to its mistress, the cat refusing
to eat it until she had accepted the gift
and restored it to its donor.
Upon a cape extending from the Isle
of Cyprus, there formerly stood a monas
tery whose monks were solemnly bound
to keep cats to destroy the snakes in
festing the island. When a certain bell
rang the cats came to their meals, and
then set forth again n pursuit of tha
reptiles. The monastery and cats were
destroyed by the Turks, who conquered
the island toward the close of the six
teenth century, but for many years after
the cape was c lied “Cat Cape.”
According to Peter Hue, the Chine-e
used the cat as a clock. “They pointed
out to us,” says the missionary, “that
the pupil of its eye con:racted gradually
as noon drew near; that at noon it was
like a hair, or an extremely thin line,
traced perpendicularly on the eye. After
midday the pupil again began to dilate.
When we had attentively examin and the
cats in the place, we concluded it was past
noon. The eyes of all presented an ex
actly similar appearance.”

W. H. Crawford, a railroad conductor
who has seen service on the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy, Wabash, Uuion
Pacific and Hannibal and St. Joe sys
tems, and who began as a peanut boy,
was at Broad street station yesterday.
A friend of Crawford’s, who runs a
train on the Pennsylvania, said: “One
day while Craw lord was employed on
the Wabash a sweeping invitation to
conductors to send in their resignations
was forwarded by the general superin
tendent. Crawford was one of the un
fortunates. His resignation was for
warded and accepted, and in return he
received the pay due him and a letter
strongly indorsing his ability as a rail
roader. A few days later he applied to
the superintendent of the Hannibal and
St. Joe for a train, presenting the Wabash
indorsement.
“I see,” said the St. Joe chief, “this
letter says you understand the business,
but makes no reference to your integrity.
Now, Mr. Crawford, if I should give
you a train, what percentage of the cash
receipts would you be willing to turn
in to the company?”
“Whatever has been customary with
the old conductors,” was Crawford’s
answer.
“But they have been keeping it all,”
remarked the superintendent.
“Well,” said Crawford, with a smile,
“that will be satisfactory to me.”
To his surprise the superintendent
told him to come around on Monday and
he could have a train, adding: “I
rather hke your frankness.”—-[Philadel

WEALTH ON WHEELS.
The Interchange of Freight
Cars Among Railroads.
A System Which Governs the Use and
Eeturn of Scattered Oars*
To the average outsider it is a source
of wonder that the ra.lways of the
United States should fce able to main
tain order and system, with their con
stant interchange of rolling stock. Take,
as an example, a great railway having
5000 freight cars, and it is likely that
on any given day, from 1500 to 2000 of
these will be scattered all over the
United States on scores of different
lines of road, and yet so simple and per
fect is the system that with a compara
tively small force of clerks the general
car agent can tell within a few miles of
the point where ear No. 3651 is to-day,
and if it is not promptly accounted for
can very accurately place the responsi
bility for its detention.
The general principle, founded upon
motives of economy, is that cars should
be run loaded both ways over the road
whenever this is possible. For example,
if the Wabash were to make rates for
the shipment of 200 car loads of mer
chandise from Chicago to a point on the
Pennsylvania Company’s lines, it would
endeavor so far as practicable to load it
upon cars of the Pennsylvania Company,
thus sparing its own rolling stock, ac
commodating the Pennsylvania Com
pany and saving the two and three
eighths cents per mile which every road
exacts for the use of its cars by every
other.
The application of this principle some
times makes the journey of a car a slow
and tortuous one. According to rail
road ethics it is entirely proper to load
the car of another company to any point
toward the general line of its traffic, but
improper to send it farther away, or re
tain it for local service.
Thus a car of the Boston & Maine
road might be loaded with general mer
chandise from Portland, Me., to San
Fraucisco. After it is unloaded the
question of its return arises. To send it
back light would mean an expense of
some sixty dollars. Hence it may be
loaded with fruit to Salt Lake City;
with household furniture to Omaha;
thence with grain to Kansas City; re
loaded there with sand for St. Louis;
take another cargo to Cincinnati, an
other to Philadelphia, another to New
York, and still another to Boston. All
the time that the car is beirur run on
other roads than its own the companies
using it pay the mileage named, whether
it is full or empty, and this gives them
an incentive to load it whenever pos
sible.
In the office of every company is kept
a set of books wdiere its cars are entered
by numbers, and their movements from
day today entered. Suppose a car of
the Michigan Central road to pass off
from its. line, en route to Chattanooga,
Tenn. It would naturally go to Toledo
and there be delivered to the Cincinnati,
Hamilton & Dayton, to which road it
would be promptly charged. When it
reached Cincinnati, the Cincinnati,
Hamilton & Dayton would send a postal
card, “Delivered car 1961 to L. & N.,”
otherwise the Lousiville & Nashville
road. When the car returned it might
be delivered to the Louisville, New
Albany & Chicago road, and reach the
Michigan Central again at Chicago, or
come back by any one of a dozen differ
ent routes, but whatever one it took, at
every junction point the road delivering
the car would send its card of notifica
tion, so that the record is complete, and
every road using the car for however
short a distance is charged the mileage.
Any railroad using the car of another
is supposed to inspect it when tendered
and to refuse to receive it unless it is in
good condition. Once accepted the car
must be returned to its owner or to the
proper connecting road in as good con
dition as when received, necessary wear
and tear expected. If a car be destroyed
by fire or otherwise the road upon which
the accident occurs is absolutely respon
sible and must pay its value. Similarly
it must make all necessary current re
pairs.
Sometimes it takes a deal of dunning
to induce railroads to give up cars that
they get into their possession. Especi
ally is this tiue of roads that are poorly
equipped and are unable to raise the
funds to buy cars. These find the roll
ing stock of other roads very convenient
for their local traffic, and will some
times keep it until compelled to dis
gorge.
Then the car-tracer, of whom every
road has one or more, camps on the
trail of the car or cars, taking them up
at the point where their delivery is in
dicated by the last “junction ticket,”
and, as a freight car is too large to con
veniently hide, he always succeeds.

Costamos of the Croatians.
The Croatian peasant costumes pre
sents some peculiarities. The men wear
often the gray jacket and broad trou
sers that are especially Hungarian. They
are not interesting. The dress of the
women is more picturesque, and to see
this to the best advantage one must
visit the market-place. This is not
specially true of Agram. You follow
the same rule everywhere in Europe—
in London, Paris, Brittany, the Loire
valley, Spain, Italy, Germany. It is
the last place invaded by fashion. The
market-place is a broad, open, un
adorned space. On one side of it the.
most fashionable cafes, with journals,
though not many, from Berlin, Paris,
Vienna, Buda, Pesth and Trieste; on the
opposite side a few shops, none of which
would be called fashionable in a large
city, and around a great portion of the
space the women, most of them squatted
on the ground, selling their wares from
trays or baskets. A market-house
would be an unparalled luxury at
Agram. Here and there I saw a few
booths, where men sold fruit and meat,
or women who seemed a little better off
than the rest exposed small articles for
domestic use. The majority of the ven
ders were women, whose whol# stock in
trade was only worth a few florins.
Most of them were barefooted, though
some wore a sort of buskin laced up tlie
side.
The costume is made as in Hungary,
of coarse home-made linen, with a band
of red about the bottom of the skirt, a
red belt about the waist, perhaps a
bright-hued apron and a string or
strings of coral about the neck. I say
“strings,” for the ornament is composed
of so many parts in some cases that they
cannot readily be counted. Not even
in Naples, the center of the coral in
dustry, have I seen this form of per
sonal decoration so freely used. It is
evident that the profits of marketing
go largely to this vain luxury. Some
times the sleeves form a great puff like a
ball, ending at the elbow, their extremi
ties, as also the apron, being occasional
ly adorned with coarse lace. A hand
kerchief of brilliant dyes covers the
head. The man wbo invented the
handkerchief is entitled to even more
consideration than he who invented
sleep. It is the head covering of most
of the women of Europe. It therefore
saves millions in inditary bills. If a
poor woman is the happy possessor of
two she transports her worldly effects
from place to place m the second.
Trunks and valises arc thereby dis
pensed with. Nearly all the millions oi
handkerchiefs, specimens of which art,
seen ail over South America, in the
heart of Asia and Africa, and * serving
as head gear for a great part of the
present women of Europe emanate from
British looms.
Agriculture in Jdpan.
We all know that Japan is made up of
a chain of volcanic mountains, which
cover a large portion of the surface, but
the entire arable land of the empire is
officially put at only 11,215,000 acres—
less than one-half the area of the state
of New York —and this is so fertile and
thoroughly cultivated that it feeds a
a population of 37,000,000 —about that
of France.
Rice is one of the principal crops, and
of this some 2,000,000 bushels are raised
annually, but among other leading pro
ducts are wheat, barley, beans, potatoes,
sugar cane and cotton; and nearly all
agricultural work is denominated “spade
husbandry,” from the fact that hand
labor is generally used, to raise large
crops and keep the land in the finest
condition, two or three crops a year
beiijg raised on the same land.
Artificial irrigation is general, being
necessary over more than one-half the
cultivable area, aud it is frequently
the case that the water is taken from
streams from twenty to thirty miles dis
tant. Steam plows and reaping machines
naturally find little room for employ
ment here, and all agricultural imple
ments are of the most primitive forms.
The total number of horned cattle is one
million, one hundred and fifteen thou
sand, ana of horses one million, six hun
dred and five thousand. Wood of all
kinds is cheap and abundant, nearly all
the buildings being of timber, and wood
constituting the priueipil fuel. The
area of forest land is nearly three times
as great as that under cultivation.
An Astronomical Puzzle.
The curious “canals” on the surface
of Mars are like nothing else known, and
still remain unexplained. They are
seen as nearly straight lines, and appear
like cuttings, with parallel sides, ex
tending from sea to sea across the plan
et’s continents. They are about fifteen
miles wide. They were discovered a
few years ago by Schiaparelli, an Italian
astronomer, and their existence has
since been confirmed by several other
observers.

DENTISTRY.
A Dentist Talks About Teeth
and. Their Owners,
A Profession Which Has Undergone Many
Changes in Late Year3.
“Pulling teeth is not easy work, I as
sure you,” said a prominent New York
dentist to a Mail and Express reporter.
‘To pull a number of teeth one alter
another requires muscle and considerable
endurance. A dentist who pulls many
molars has strong, muscular wrists, aud
cm make things petty warm for an an
tagonist in a boxing match. When I
began studying for the profession I was
weak and slender. My friends told me
I never could do hard dental work. So
I went to a gymnasium and underwent a
regular athletic course. The dentist of
today is not required to pull teeth so
frequently as the men of the old school.
It used to be the main object of a dentist
to destroy bad teeth. The main object
now is to preserve them. Many of our
most prominent dentists decline to pull
teeth. They send their patients to some
place where extraction by laughing gas
is made a business. I have not
pulled a tooth for several years.
But in my younger days extracting
w*as the rule and filling the exception.
My first office was in a Southern
town, before the war. There were plan
tations for miles around. At certain
seasons of the year the owner of the
plantation had a dentist come out and
examine the jaws of all the family and
then of the slaves and their families. It
took a whole day often to treat one of
these plantations. I recollect one plan
tation that I reached before breakfast.
The owner, who was very wealthy, in
vited me to breakfast with him. I
arrived at 8 o’clock and breakfast was
not served until 10. So I began my
work at once and before breakfast I ex
tracted just 212 teeth. It was the hard
est morning’s job I ever attempted, and
my appetite was something enormous
when I finally sat down at the table.
“Dentistry, like every pi-ofession, is
constantly changing and we think is
constantly improving. We have means
by which teeth can be filled and even
nerves killed without the patient feeling
the least bit of pain. A little cocaine
on cotton, inserted in the tooth and ap
plied on the outside deadens all pain.
The tooth can be filled and drilled with
out the least annoyance or inconvenience
to the patient. We have ascertained
that teeth can be transmitted by physi
cians. I mean that a tooth from one
person can be extracted and fastened in
another person’s gums, so that it will
grow fast and be as sound and useful as
a native molar. Of course it is not a
process that is particularly enjoyed by
the person securing the tooth. The
previous character and history of the
tooth is so uncertain that the mind is
apt to dwell rather painfully on the sub
ject. It is not a matter of reminiscence.”
Curious Origin of Dakota’s Name.
The territory of Dakota, is, in many
respects, the most interesting grand
division of our country's domain. For
a few years it has occupied more atten
tion than any other. No state or terri
tory, certainly, has ever risen to such
rapid and surprising importance.
The origin of its name has been the
subject of some dispute; but the best
Indian authority, a dweller for forty
years among the Sioux Indians, makes
the word an abbreviation of Pa-ha-
Sota, which means “many heads, or
plenty.” The affix “Sota” always means
“plenty” in the Sioux language. In the
word Minnesota, it means plenty of
water, the appropriateness of which
designation is made manifest when you
consider that the state bearing that
name is only two-thirds land, the re
maining one-third being water. What
the many heads were that gave to Da
kota its title I do not pretend to say
from actual knowledge, but I suppose
they were the heads of buffaloes. Noth
ing could be dearer to the Indian than
this game, and here they abounded.
Their “countless trails and wallows are
still to be found on every hand * * *
not to speak of the elk, deer and ante
lope,” specimens of which have survived
the buffalo’s practical extinction in the
territory. [Cosmopolitan.
