WARSHIP WORSHIP.
HOW JACK -RIGS CHURCH” IH UNCLE
SAM’S NAVY.
Divine Service tn Sunday on Board a
United States Mm-01-wh and Bow It la
Conducted—The Church Ensign and Its
Meaning—The Chaplain.
When there is seen flying from the
gaff of a United States man-of-war a
small, white triangular pennant, bear
ing on its field a bine Greek cross near
the pike or halyard, it is a signal that
divine service is being held on board.
“Rig church I” is one of the regular na
val orders, issued usually at about 18:30
on Sunday morning.
Church is “rigged” in various places
according to the construetion of the ves
sel and according to the weather condi
tions. If the day is fine and not too
cold, the quarter deck will probably be
selected, although in some ships it is
customary to bold the service on the
forward part ot ths gun deck. In stormy
Weather the berth deck below is used,
Where the men may be under shelter,
though they Are more cramped for room.
Assuming that the service is to be
held on the quarter deck, the arrange
ments for it will proceed about like
this: When the bugler gives the signal,
the “church ensign” is hoisted to the
gaff, and some of the men, under the
direction of an officer, bestir themselves
briskly in making the simple prepara
tions which are necessary.
A table or desk, covered with the
American flag, is placed at the end of
the quarter deck for the chaplain. A few
wardroom chairs are brought up from
below and ranged along the starboard
side, where the officers are to assemble,
and benches or capstan bars resting Cn
buckets make seats for the drew on the
port side.
The organ—for every ship that has a
chaplain is provided with an instrument
of this nature—is put in' a convenient
place. If there is a band, and its serv
ices are desired, a few musicians are se
lected and stationed near by. Then the
ship’s bell is tolled for about five min
utes, giving the officers and men, when
ever they may be on board, sufficient
time to assemble, if they are so inclined.
The boatswain may call down the
hatchways “Silence, fore and aft, dur
ing divine service!” but it is well un
derstood by the entire crew that the
ship must be quiet now for about three
quarters of an hour. Finally the bell
stops, the captain, after a glance
around, makes a sign to the chaplain
that all is ready, and the service begins.
HoW it is conducted depends upon
the denomination to which the chaplain
belongs, and various sects are represent
ed among the naval clergymen. The
singing, accompanied by the organ,
which is played either by an officer or
by some musician among the crew, is
generally fine. The men enjoy it, and
their voices ring out strong and fresh in
the open air.
During the prayers they are required
to remove their caps, but throughout
the rest of the service they may remain
covered. When it is over, the order to
“Pipe down!” is given, and church is
“unrigged.” Sometimes an evening
service is also' held, but this is not the
general custom.
Attendance at church on the warships
is of course not compulsory, but the offi
cers are expected to attend byway of
furnishing an example, and most of
them usually do, accompanied by per
haps about half the crew—sometimes
more and sometimes less.
But by no means all the ships of the
navy are provided with chaplains. For
the 60 or more war vessels now effective
for service there are fewer than 80
chaplains, or less than one for every
two ships. They are attached to the lar
gest and most important vessels, where
their ministrations may reach the great
est number of persons.
4 A queer incident happened a few
years ago, when one ot the modern
cruisers was put into commission. It
had been intended that she should carry
a chaplain, but when the officers* quar
ters were completed it was found that
his room had been entirely overlooked.
No accommodation for him thus being
available, the ship put to sea without a
chaplain and did not have one for at
least two years.
In an action the chaplain’s duties are
with the sick sfid wounded. Occasion
ally, however, his aid has been required
at the guns, and in many instances the.
chaplains have proved themselves hero
ic fighters as well as good preachers. In
the old days of the navy the chaplain
wore the full uniform of his rank—lieu
tenant, lieutenant commander or com
mander—-but it is now customary for
him to wear a suit of black or the regu
lar costume of whatever church he rep
resents, sometimes with the insigma of
his rank upon his sleeve.—New<York
Tribune.
The Army Offloert Trunk.
The army officer’s trunk, which is an
article of limited but regular sale, in
peace times, being sold chiefly to regu
lar army officers, is a stout, well made
trunk of rather generous proportions,
so divided inside as to afford spaces for
both military and civilian attire. There
is a place for an officer’s chapeau and
one for the silk hat of a civilian and
room for the different clothing, and the
trunk is large enough to admit a sword
laid diagonally. A trunk of this sort to
made not of sole leather, as might be
supposed, to withstand rough wear, but
with a rigid frame, so that it can be
roped or strapped on to a load or packed
with other things piled on it in the ex
igencies of wagon or other transporta
tian without being crushed or damaged.
—New York Sun.
Broadly speaking, the essential differ
mce between merchant ships and war
ships is that the farmer are designod to
carry their loads or principal portions
thereof low down in the hold, whereas
warships have to carry their heavy bur
dens of armor and armament high up
on their sides.
A BEE’S RESTLESS LIFE.
It lleilui Work Wi.cn Three D.JI 014 1
Md Diu MlvrV-fto. I
G. W. Reynolds of Los Angeles, 1
one of the oldest traveling men in the 1
United States, has a ranch of which he J
enjoys telling even more than he does 1
es the experiences through which he j
has passed during his half century upon
the road. The ranch is near San Diego, ,
Cal. The chief product is honey. Thia ,
product is gained from two apiaries, .
which Mr. Reynolds visits every time <
his business permits him to go to south- i
ern California.
“In my apiaries, which arc cared for 1
by my son,” said he, “there are 140 j
stand of bees. The honey season lasts ;
from April to July. Last season my ,
bees yielded 40,000 pounds of honey,
which sells in that country in bulk lots <
at 4 cents a pound. Two of the hives i
gate over 500 pounds each. For ton
years I have been interested fa bees in a
small way, and I take .greater interest '
in them every year. A hive or stand of ;
bees is worth $2.50. In it are the queen,
the drones and the workers, a total
population of from 20,000 to 25,000
bees. '
“This very good sized colony,” he '
continued, “resides in a hive or wooden
box. In the hive are a dozen frames 18
by 7 inches. In these the bees make or
deposit the honey, a foundation of was
having been first placed in each frame
by the beekeeper, eo that the bees may
have something to buijd upon. The
honey is taken out of the frames every
other week during the Loney season.
While doing so there is little need of
protecting the hands. The bees seem to
be .most inclined to sting one fa the
face. So, as a precaution, the man who
is removing the honey from the hives
wears a straw hat, from the brim of
which is hung a silk veil, like they have
to do up in the Klondike country to
ward off > the Summer mosquitoes.
“The queen fr an absolute monarch
within her dominions. She is the un
disputed boss of the job. An ordinary
bee lives during the working season on
ly 45 days. Young ones are being hatoh
edjaut aß.fae time. A bee to work
at the tender age of 3 days and hustles
like a veteran for 42 daya Then ft is
just naturally all tired out, I suppose,
for it dies. The queen lives longer, and
when a young queen comes into exist
ence in the hivb she drives the old
queen out Her loyal subjects follow
her in her banishment, and that is what
makes the swarm.
“In southern Califomiajhe bees make
watjr white honey when the black sage
is in blossom. When the white sage is
flowering, the honey has an amber
tinge. In winter the bees make no hon
ey. Seventy-five carloads of the article
are shipped out of San Diego county in
good years. ” —Denver Republican.

GREATEST OF COLONIZERS.
Math of the Barth Owes fta Sottlemeat to

It bps been well said that gold is the
greatest of oolonizers, and'tlns has prov
ed especially true in the last half of the
present century. To what lone regions
the footsteps of man were attracted in
the earliest times by the discovery of
gold we may not know, but within the
memory of living men great regions of
the earth’s surface have owed their set
tlement and occupation solely to the
finding by search or accident of a few
shining particles in the earth-
California was a remote and outlying
province of Mexico, inhabited by Indi
ans, gathered in missions or scattered
abroad, and cattle baron* and their de
pendents, visited by a few ships each
year in search of a freight of hides,
when the picking up of a few grains of
gold in the banks of a mill xacfl called
the gold seekers from the four quarters
of the earth and transformed a wilder
ness into a populous empire.
Australia was a corner of the earth
selected on account of its remoteness
from their former home as a place of
banishment for British criminals when
the gleam of gold illuminated it and
filled the distant harbors with sails and
their shores with cities.
South Africa might have remained
forever a grassy waste, the home of sav
ages contending with the Boers and the
British for the possession of illimitable
pastures, had not gold called the miner
and those who follow him to build Jo
hannesburg.—Kansas City Times.
The Sea.
It is the sea which ennobles every
thing. - Between the line and the stoi
there was but the ancient foreshore,
Covered with prickly tamarisks and
mauve colored heath, with yellow sand
conspicuous here and there. At the lim
it of the foreshore the rugged border
line out clear into a deep and somber
blue. It *ia she—blue as any grape <m
this (fluster which hangs in die cooling
breezet The asure deepens, filling up a
good half of the range of sight; the
white sail of a fishing smack floats
alone, like a hollow shell; the eternal
monotone of ocean is borne upon the
ear. Draw near and see the leaping sil
ver foam.
Above this intense blue the sky is trans
parently, superbly pale, and the start
are hurrying to light their lamps. There
is not a living soul, n«r a plant, no*
any sign of the hand of man. There
might be nereids and fauns dancing
cb the strand, as in the days when the
world was young.—H. A. Taine fa

•The Iceland Foay.
While there are camels in the desert,
Uamas in Peru, reindeer in Lapland, dogs
In Greenland and caiques among the Eski
mos, Iceland will have its ponies, who on
those “pampas of the north" will still
perform the services done by the mustangs
of the plains of Mexico, the horses of the -
Tartars and gauchos, and even more than
is performed by any animal throoghout the
world. Without the ponies Iceland would
be impossible to live in, and when the last
expiree the Icelanders have two alterna
tives—either to emigrate en masse or to
construct a system of highways for bicy
eles, an undertaking compared to which
all undertaken by the Romans and the
Incas of Peru in the same sphere would be
as nothing.

like an alligator on land, a Texan cowboy
or a gaucho left “ascot,” or like tlqj
Medes, whom Plutarch represents as tot
tering on their toes when they dismounted
from their saddle a and essayed to walk.
Ponies are carts, are carriages,

only moans ot transport. Dales of salt fish,
packages of goods, timber projecting yards

Volubility.
Without knowledge volubility of words
is, as Cicero says, “empty and ridiculous."
The vice of the earlier rhetoricians, Geor
gias and other Greek sophists, lay here.
They made words a substitute for knowl
edge. They boasted that their art enabled
a man to speak well onwvery topic, and so
it did in a shallow, superficial way, which
Socrates justly held up to ridicule. Noth-
has done more to discredit rhetoric as
an art than this false theory and the prac
tice engendered of it. The story runs that
when Hannibal, driven from Carthage,
came to as an exile to seek the
protection of Antiochus, he was invited to
hear Phormio, an eloquent philosopher,
declaim, and for several hours this copious
speaker harangued upon the duties of a
general and the whole military art. The
rest of the audience were extremely de
lighted and inquired of Hannibal what
be thought of the philosopher, to which
Hannibal replied not in very good Greek,
but with very good sense, that be had seen
many doting old men, but bad never seen'
anyone deeper In his dotage than Phormio.
There are many Phormlos, and the mis
take they make is in thinking that oratory
is in words instead of in the thing. Knowl
edge full and exact is essential to tho or
ator. Whatever causes he undertakes to
plead be must'aoqulre a minute and thor
ough knowledge of them. On the other
hand, to say, as Lord Beaconsfield used to
say, that there is but one key to successful
speaking, and that is a knowledge of the
subject, or even as Plato did, that all men
are sufficiently eloquent in what they un
derstand, is going too far. Knowledge of
bis subject will not alone make an orator.

u Prince Dhulsep Singh’s Marriage.
The recent marriage in England of the
daughter of the Earl of Coventry to Prince
Victor Dhuleep Singh, eldest son of the
late maharajah of Lahore, has interested
our transatlantic relatives and takes rank
as the most stirring British matrimonial
experiment of the season. Tho father of
the groom was the adopted son of Runjeet
Singh, king of the Punjab, who died in
1889. His legitimate heir, Shore Singh,
succeeded him, but was murdered, and
Dhuleep Singh, son of a slave woman, was
put on the throne. He reigned nominally
for six years and then the British govern
ment annexed his realm and allowed him
8200,000 a year on condition that he should
live in England and behave himself. Ho
agreed end on his way to England mar
ried, in Cairo, a Miss Muller, whose father
was a German missionary, and her mother
a woman of the Coptic race. Their first
sqn was Victor, to whom Queen Victoria
stood godmother.
Dhuleep, the father, proved to bo excess
ively ill regulated and didn’t pay bls
debts or keep to bis bargain. Finally he
revolted, left England, abjured the Chris
tian religion,abandoned his wife and made
all the mischief be could until, his allow
ance being stopped and his credit exhaust
ed, be had to apologize to the queen to get
his allowance back. He died about six
years ago. The son, who also has an al
lowance from the British government, is
said to be popular in English society,
though what bis true inwardness is does
not appear. Lord Coventry’s eldest son
married Miss Bonynge of San Francisco.
Lady Coventry’s nephew, the Earl of Cra
ven, also married an American lady.—

Up to a year ago Samuel Gingley was
the oldest barber in point of continuous
service in the interesting old county of
Bucks. Early last year, however, he re
tired from business, and most of the effects
in his store wore sold. He held on to a set
of shaving mugs, however, wbioh had the
merit of being undoubtedly the oldest and
most complete in the entire state. These
mugs, which are of blue and purple de
sign, each adorned with an old fashioned
landscape, were made in England over 100
years ago. They passed to Mr. Glnsley
from a relative, who had been a barber
many years before him. Each cup was
numbered, and for 60 years ft had its spe
cial place upon the shelves of the little old
shop in Doylestown. The faces of many
dignified judges and great lawyen of the
county have been smothered In lather
brewed In these old cups, and many fine
tales might be told by each of these bite of
china if they could but speak. Mr. Glnsley
kept the cups for awhile after ho gave up
his shop, but they were recently purchased
by an old curiosity dealer in Bristol.—
