P ■ I THE AMERICAN SAILOR. I y Mkr Mm Became a Saeeiellrt .nd a Crete) to the Nary. • Jacky, who used to be more sailor than gunner, is now more gunner than sailor. Just in proportion as he has ceased to be a part of the great engine on which ho lives, so he baa come more and more into the control of it, and as the cardinal purpose of a warship is to hit things with her projectiles Jacky has become a specialist in getting that work out of her. He does it in two places—at the guns and at the engines. Correctly pointed guns are of no use unless the platform on which they rest is put in proper relation to the thing to be hit and kept there. Equally it is use less to get the ship into proper place unless the guns are correctly pointed. I Men who can do either of these things must have natural capacities and be sus ceptible to education, and only men of thia sort are eligible for our navy. , Accordingly the “beach comber,” or the “rock scorpion, ” or any other va riety of that ruck of marine refuse which drifts around the great maritime ports and ships in any craft where “grub” is plenty and work light, no longer slings bis hammock on Uncle Stun’s berth deck, as he used to do, to the shame of the service, in years gone by. Nor can the tramp nor the jailbird nor even the incorrigible black sheep of the family thus be-provided for, to the relief of conetables and lortg suffering relatives. No man or boy can now pass a United States naval recruiting officer unless he is clean, healthy, honest, young, strong and intelligent, nor can he afterward get that advancement, which is certainly open to him without fear or favor, unless he continnes to show aptitude and ability.—Park Ben jamin in Independent. . ’ < ARMY AND NAVY GUNS. A Vmt Difference In the Number of Men Required to Handle Them. The number of men required to man naval guns of the British, French, Ger man and American navies is about the same, although the French are under stood to have more men as a rule for some of the larger guns. For the 4 inch and 5 inchall cervices require four men to work each piece; for the 6 inch, six men are needed, and for the 10, 13 and 13 inch the same number. As nearly all our 8, 10, 12 and 18 inch guns are used in pairs and mount ed in turrets the 12 men working them are protected by heavy plates of steel. For the little 1 pounders three men are necessary to work them rapidly, and for the 3 pounders and 6 pounders four men are assigned, and for the Hotchkiss three men. Treble the number of men mem to be required to work the same caliber of guns in our coast defense system, al though there is no special reason for this, unless it be due to the fact that the army guns are mounted on disap pearing carriages and are not provided with turrets, which naturally limits the space of the operators. An army 8 inch gun takes 15 men to work it; a 10 inch gun requires 18 men, and al2 inch gun, the largest now constructed by the army, calls for 21 men. It will be seen, therefore, that a 18 inch naval gun is operated by six men, while an army gun of one inch less cali ber calls for 21 men. The navy gun can be fired just as rapidly with its six men as the army gun can be fired with its larger number.—Boston Herald. At Sea on Maskat. A funny scene occurred many yean ago in congress. A present of Arabian horses, a sword, etc., arrived from the imam of Maskat for President Adams. A western member with some heat moved that the gift should be sent back, with a letter from congress, in forming the ruler of Maskat that the president of the United States was no king, but the servant of the people, and was not permitted to give or receive presents. Another member rose. “Such a let ter, Mr. Speaker,” he said, “can easily be written. But where is it to be sent! Where is Maskat?” There was no response. Apparently not a member of the house was prepared to answer, nor could Maskat then be found in any atlas published in this country. It was found at last on a Ger man map. A civil answer was returned, and the geographers made haste to in sert Maskat in the next edition of their maps.—Exchange. The Other Way Around. The loyalty of the Scottish highlander to his kilt is a picturesque thing. He will never admit that it makes him cold, and highlanders who were suffer ing from cold in the ordinary dress of civilization have been known to substi tute the kilt for it in order to get warm, though this would be much like removing one’s coat and waistcoat dhd rolling up one’s shirt sleeves for the some purpose. It is said that a stranger, seeing a soldier in full highlander uniform shiv ering in a cold wind, asked him: “Bandy, are you cold with the kilt?” “Na, na, mon,” the soldier answered indignantly, “but I’m nigh kilt with , the Tail’d F’—EachA gc. 1 *■’ Hnrrahr W. J. Spratley, the Egyptologist, thinks that “there can be no doubt that the Egyptian soldiers in ancient times went into the battle to the inspiring cheer of the’Hooßa! Hooßal Hooßal* and if the average questioning man asks why he replies with this, ‘Because Hoo Ra (in the tongue of the Barneses) means ‘the king, the king, the king!* ” —. Turning the Stoek. A writer in The Dry Goods Chronicle says: “A good point for the retail mer chant to remember is that it is not how large a business he does, but how many times bis stock is turned in the course of the year, that really indicates the successful merchant” to keep hand or orate lim the said the Board A FRENCH HARNESS. — a case involving patent righto, he is apt to retain forever thereafter a firm disinclina tion to hear any more of the sort. It hap pened that sever i,.t on teases were outba locket of a Nu»v Jersey court, and the Judge managed to defer each one as it tame up and slide It down the list When the end of the term wan well within reach, the patent practitioner* began to demur a little at this procrastination, and finally the leader of their bar was deputed to ask the judge to sot some of these cases for hearing. Ho carried with him a list of the oases, with a side memorandum to in dicate what class of machinery was in volved. The judge looked down the list, not at all anxious to hear any patent case, but recognized that he would have to do so in the end, and therefore prepared to yield as graciously as possible. He noted that this case involved an ore separator, that the next had to do with some electric ap paratus, that almost all of them premised to Involve him in the deepest physics and the most complicated mechanics. At last his eye rested on case 5287, against which was made the memorandum ‘Frenchhar ness.” . ‘‘There, I'll take up that case," ho said. “There isn't much time left in this teem, but you cannot spin that thing out very long. I was brought up with horses, and I have had them all my life. I know all about a harness to begin with, and it won’t be any trouble to pick up the French twist to it. We’ll get that ease out of the way In short order.” The trial opened at the time appointed. The opposing briefs were volumes crowd ed with working drawings of the most cWh plicated sort, the letterpress was filled with equations and mathematics in gener al, all necessary to elucidate some of the most intricate processes in the arts. In addition the courtroom was filled with working models until it took on the ap pearance of a factory ot hh Industrial ex hibition, and this was but the beginning. The counsel cited a host ot decisions in conflict upon every essential point. At last the case Was,submltted. After the re cess some one congratulated the judge on having but one case unfinished. “Don’t speak to toe,” ho groaned. ‘‘l told those patent lawyers that I knew all about harness and selected that case be cause it was easy. It knocked blazes out of my vacation. It took up two months before I could make head or tall of it, and then I was six weeks writing the deci sion.” A French harness is an appliance In connection with the weaving of figured cloths, the intricate ingenuity of which has made it possible to employ the loom in the reproduction of any design. In com parison with it ordinary machinery is as simple as a grindstone.—New York Sun. What Shall Be Done With ClausenY The case of Cockswain Clausen of the cruiser New York, and later and illegiti mately of the stopper Merrimac, will re quire the attention of Captain Chadwick and of Admiral Sampson as soon as the young man gets out of the hands of the Spaniards, by exchange of prisoners or otherwise and returns to his duty. The cockswain has committed an offense which has some parallels in naval history, but which never loses its interest, however Often repeated. It would have rejoiced Marryat’s heart to tell about Clausen’s sin. In leaving his own post without or ders and stowing himself away upon the Merrimac, so that he might share the glory of an expedition Which seemed to mean almost certain death to all concerned, Clausen not only violated discipline in an unpardonable way, but he was also guilty of gross unfairness to the 4,000 men or thereabouts in the fleet who had volun teered for the same perilous service, and were just as crazy as he was to go along with Hobson. This latter aspect of the case is that which will principally strike the blue jackets and others who volunteered to sac rifice their lives with Hobson for the sake of their flag and were not accepted. Clau sen stole a march on them. They end he had the same courage to go, but they had what he lacked —namely, the courage to obey orders and stay behind. He is a brave man, but so are they brave men and he roes, and they are all better sailors than Clausen in one all important particular. Nevertheless, whatever martial law may say on the subject, it is written that no man’s life shall be put in jeopardy twice -for the same offense, and the insubordi nate cockswain’s life has certainly been in jeopardy once already for his offense.— New York Sun. Enoch Arden With Variations. Tennyson has enshrined in verse the story of the sailor who returns home after years of absence to find his wife married. M. Zola has also written a short tale on tho same sort of subject, and a real ver sion of the well worn theme comes from the prosaic district ot La Chapelle in Paris. It appears that during the Franco-Ger man war M. Binot, a grocer of Vincennes, was supposed by his wife to have been killed in one of the battles around the city. Previously his house had been shelled by the Prussians, and his wife went away from Vincennes with her child.' When the war was over,* Binot returned to hto suburban town, and, seeing his old resi dence destroyed, arrived at the conclusion that his wife and child were killed and buried beneath the ruins. Drying his tears, he set to work again, made money and remarried. Meanwhile his wife heard of his return, but kept away from him and brought up her son Gustave, who to now a married man, under the impression that his father was killed in battle. Lately the original Mme. Binot had a dispute with one of her friends, who hap pened to be in the possession of the secret. The friend, in order s have revenge, told Mme. Binot’s son that his father was alive and living at La Chapelte. Thither Gus taVe Binot repaired and found him dining with the other Mme. Binot in a restau rant—Paris Letter. Horae’s Expressive Heeia. “Talk about education, that hone of Major Bartlett’s, of the First regiment, has got more sense and patriotism than a whole lot of people.” The speaker wee Robert E. Lee, the now famous private, who, after being rejected a half demon times, finally got into the Second battalion and was assigned to duty as orderly to Major Bartlett. “That bores, ata',” con tinued too “General,” as he to known, “was being curried by a recruit. The man didn’t knofe his business, sir, and be didn’t half do his work.

THE HEIGHT OF SOLDIERS. I . pe&a Anrtee Ara Increased. the average height of fighting men is-di minished. TheTageblattof Bectinaoanbee the reduction in the average stature of soldiers in modern armies to conscription and toys that in the German army it is now only 60 M inrhe*. Tn the British army the height is inches, showing tho tallness of the average Englishman and Scotchman. Frenchmen and Span iards are taken at 1.64 meters, Italians at 1.56 meters (61 inches), and tho same minimum mecsutonient i s the role in Austria. The Russian minimum is 1.54 meters, and in tho United States ft is 1.619 meters (68.78 inobra). In iB6O, before Ihd beginning of the American civil war r.i.d before the general arming of Europe, tho average height of men serving in too various European armies was as foDo-.vs, given in Inches: Italian, 65; Spar lard. 66.5; French. 66; Hungarian, 6AI; Austrian, 66.6; Belgian, W. 9; Russian, 67: English, 67.5; Irish, 68; Scotch, 88.6; Nonctiglan, 69. Although the average height of soldiers has decreased during tho Inst few years ooneiderably in tbpeo countries tn which eonacriptiou is tho rule, It la found gener ally that in. countries in Which peaceful conditions prevail and no great standing army is maintained the stature of new soldiers is gradually increasing. This is shown conspicuously in tho case of Swe den, where the average of height of new soldiers between 1840 and 1860 was M inches, 66.2 between 1860 and IMO, 6«.6 between 1960 and 1870, 60.8 between 1870 and 1880 and 60 between 1880 and 1890. The proportion of rejected aoldlers In France has decreased from 87 per cent in the decade beginning 1840, 85 per cent in the decade beginning 1860 and 88 per cent in the decade beginning in 1880 to 30 per cent at preoent. The number of conscripts now rejected on account of height is lew every year in consequence perhaps ot the fact that the minimum height limit of the French army has been steadily decreased. American aoldlers have preserved dur ing many years the same height substan tially, though the fact is well known that soldiers from tho western and southwest ern states are, as a rule, taller than those from the east and from the southern At lantic states. Jumped Into tho Ball King. Apropos of Second Lieutenant J. H. Scott, the Philadelphia boy, who to the executive officer of the Hudson, who pulled the Wlnstow out of a hole when disabled at the bombardment at Cardenas, a story of hto love of excitement to given by a classmate while the pair were on the Unit ed States boat Chase os cadets on their practice cruise. The vessel was at Lisbon, Portugal. The starboard watch of cadets were ashore on leave. Some, with “Hutchy," m Scott was familiarly called, went to see a bullfight at a suburb of Lis bon called Cintra. In the royal box that afternoon in Au gust of 1888 sat the present ruler of Portu gal, then a debonair and democratic youth. Suddenly a cadet’s cap was seen to fly through the air and drop in the center of the arena. The owner, none other than “Hutchy,” jumped into the ring, grabbed a spear from a dazed matadore and after giving his trousers a sailorlike hitch the hero of Cardenas proceeded to assail a lively runt of a bull. The multitude that crowded the tiers recognized the uniform and yelled, men, women and children, “Viva el Americano!” Suddenly the bull fell. The first bull killed in a Portuguese arena tat 20 years, and that by a Philadelphia boy. However, with spear in one hand and hto cap in the other,looking very much scared, “Hutchy” was conducted by some attendants to the royal box and received, much to his sur prise, not only congratulations, but Prince Carlos, removing a signet ring from hto finger, presented it to Scott. The affair was the talk of Lisbon for several days, and as a result of the cele bration that followed, for the ring had to be wetted, “Hutchy” and hto chums were kept, on board the Chase for a month or more. '/?' The Army Paymaster. The most popular officer holding the commission of the United States govern ment is tho paymaster. In the eyes of the troops at the front he to only a little lower than the angels. When he arrives in camp, he to received with something like the en thusiasm that surprised the prodigal son. The best that there to in the way of tent, things so eiiand tilings to drink are at his disposal. The colonel smiles, and the majors smile, and the captains smile, and the smile progresses on down to the small est drummer boy. Everybody spruces up, put* op hto best s vailable clothes and does hto beet to do credit to the regiment. You would think that the businesslike man ia a major’s uniform was MtosCo lumhia, the president and the general oom mandiag rolled into one. And then the paymaster reciprocates. He loses no time in getting through the books. He has beep known to toll half the night so that tho boys might not have to wait for their money any longer than was abeolutely necessary. Ae a rule, there is a day's work in the regimental rolls, but the paymas ter doesn’t spare himself ar hto assistants. He looks as satisfied when hto task to done as if he were about to go out with the boys whom he has made so happy. But he doesn’t, for he has to fly away to fresh scenes of activity.—New York Sun. t:,;, .
