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 of Cfold. 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.

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. . No Icelander will wnlk a step if he can help it When he dismounts, ho waddles 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.

' 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. —Westnfinster Review. 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.— Harper’s Weekly. Hla Mage. 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.— Philadelphia Record.
