L ' ■■ ' THEY HAVE MANY VERY SERIOUS DU- J TIES TO PERFORM. BmlOm » Thorough Nautical Training the Meer Who Na»lgate«. • Mu-of-wif Hut Be pewened era Vast r»d a Technical Scientific Knowledge. It is doubtful if any office in the navy, aside from an absolute command, involves so task a responsibility as that of navigator of a man-of-war. The du ties of this important station in former years fell to officers of the rank of mas ter, but with the abolition of that grade its affairs devolved upon the lieutenants holding the highest num bers on the list. Upon the navigator of a warship depends the task of shaping the vessel’s ▼ourse for any point across the seas to whloh her des tinies may direct her, but also the re sponsibility of piloting her in and out of harbor and of selecting a safe anchor age for her in every port visited during the period of her cruise. Henoe, it fol lows that, combined with a thorough nautical training, the competent navi gator must be possessed of a vast fund of geographical, meteorological and. hy drographical knowledge. While at sea, he must know the vessel's position to a degree, which necessitates his taking frequent observations of the celestial bodies and making solutions of intricate problems in geometry and trigonometry, such as constantly arise through devia tions, brought about by innumerable causes, from her given course. Unquestionably the most important element in navigation, because of its infallibility under ordinary conditions, in determining the longitude and error in the ship’s compass, is what is known in maritime phraseology as “nautical astronomy. ” With the aid of a sextant or quadrant for measuring the altitude of the heavenly bodies above the horizon or their distance froip each other, a timepiece to mark the instant of an observation, a chronometer to show the time at the first meridian, a nautical almanac and an azimuth oom pass, the navigator can readily deter mine his position with the utmost ex actitude. The average voyage is more or Ims characterized by-erroneous estimates in distances sailed, in varying currents, careless steering, deviation in the com pare and numerous other obstacles, and upon the navigator rests the responsi bility of adjusting such errors. In long passages across the open sea the navi gator is governed by a rather complex combination of motives, which may be gummed up as follows: To cover the re quired distance in the shortest space of time with the smallest expenditure of fuel mid the least wear and tear of the vessel that is possible. With these objects in view the navi gator must prior to sailing superintend personally the stowing of the hold, the arrangement of ballast, water,. provi sions, stores, etc., and the Inspection and adjustment of the motive appliances of the ship, all of which features, sever ally and collectively, greatly affect her speed and seaworthiness. If his vessel possesses the facilities for making sail, he must while at sea exercise the keenest judgment and fore sight as to utilizing the same, for sail used to good advantage is a great saver of coal, while otherwise, if used indis criminately, it may entail much, lore of time. The expert navigator draws the line with exceeding fineness between a high fair wind and a gale, making the most of the former as long as his vessel is not jeopardized, heaving her to at just the proper period and getting under way again at the first sign of moderation in tbo weather. The commander of a warship reposes the utmost confidence in a skilled and careful navigator and rarely interferes with his plans. Anoth er of the numerous details coming under the navigator's supervision is the keep ing of the ship’s log. This is commenced by him at the time the vessel is placed in commission, and its pages record the events of each succeeding day. There Is absolutely nothing which transpires of ficially on board of a man-of-war that is not written in the log, and each day the navigator must carry it to the com manding officer for his inspection. At the expiration of every six months the ship’s log must be closed and forwarded to the navy department at Washington, where it is placed among the records. The navigator is provided with a large and varied assortment of instru ments and appliances designed to facili tate his work. While in port he is often detailed to make surveys of portions of tbo coast line which may be defective upon the charts or to determine the ex act location of rocks or shoals which hitherto have not been marked with sufficient accuracy. The navigator has charge of all the various weather indicators of the vessel and must render quarterly reports of all meteorological observations. These are taken at regular intervals by the quartermaster of the watch and fully entered upon the ship’s log. The navi gator must regularly inspect the steer ing gear, compasses, anchors and chain cables of the ship and daily report their condition to the commanding officer. He must also keep a separate book in which are recorded all calculations re lating to the navigation of the vessel and in which no erasures are permitted to be made. At the expiration of the cruise this book is forwarded to the bureau of navigation. The duties of a navigating officer are more than sufficient to fully occupy his time, but, notwithstanding this fact, he frequently stands his watch at saa. While in port he is ex officio the execu tive officer during the latter’s absence from the vessel. * The illustrious Dewey was, during the earlier period of bis Career, an ac knowledged expert as a navigator, and to bis excellent ability in maneuvering may be largely accredited his splen did victory at Manila.—Philadelphia STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE. .

STORY OF A HAT. Bevealiag tho Secret of Its Two Trips Around a Table. A number of literary men were at one . time gathered in a well known chop house in New York. The conversation was of course brilliant, and the repartee sparkled with mirth and wit. During a . lull in the talk the door slowly opened, and an old southern darky, grizzled with age, poked his head in and then slowly drew his body in after him. A waiter started to eject him, when one of the gentlemen cried: “Wait a moment Let’s see what the old boy wants. ” The darky bobbed up to the table where this gentleman sat and held out his hat Throwing a wink to his neigh bors, the gentleman took the hat and, making a show of placing something into it, passed it on to the next man, who did likewise. The hat made a tour of the room, to the puzzled wonder of the darky. ,Tho last to receive it sol emnly handed it back with a polite bow, saying: “There, sir, don’tyou think you have something .to be thankful for?” The old darky looked solemnly around the company and, mechanically taking the hat, he said: “Gen’men, I’ze indeed glad dat I got eben de hat book!” The reply was so thoroughly enjoyed by the company that the darky left the place a much richer man than when he had entered it.—Kansas City World.

She had her back turned to him, but He saw she wore a trim costume, had a neat ankle and a nicely arranged lot of hair. Bax ter is very particular about a girl’s hair. This girl looked so attractive that he paused. There was something pa thetic in her attitude, he thought. Was she waiting for a cavalier to join her on the tandem? A wild idea entered Baxter’s head. Ho would do a daring thing. He walked up to the girl. She turned a frank, merry face on him as he approached. “Pardon me,” he laughingly said, “but are you L iking for an accompa nist?” and he pointed to the tandem. "Well,” she (smilingly answered, “now that you mention it, I guess I am.” A moment later they were whirling UP the street When it began to grow dark, they famed bnek. “My tandem?” cried the girt “Why, it tan’t my tandem. ” “Not your tandem?" shouted Baxter. “Whose is it then?” “ Why,” said the girl, “I thought it wasyours. ” “Heavens, no!” groaned Baxter. “But you acted as if it was yours,’’ said the girl. “What shall we do?” moaned the girl. “; “Take it back,” said Baxter. So they rode back in silence, and when they were about a block away the girl said: “I guess I’ll stop here.” Leaving the tandem as near to the place where he saw it as he could, he scuttled away in tie darkness.—Cycling Gazette. ' - TWO HUMOROUS BROTHERS. They Won Wogan on the Strength of Their Own Homeliness. Many years ago there were two broth ers, named Joel and Jonathan, who were famous throughout Wayne county, Ind., because they were both such frights. One day they were on their way to Cincinnati by wagon in the days of the old canal. The wagon was of the covered variety, and only Joel was visible to the natural eye as the vehicle plunged into and out of the chuck holes that infested the way. Joel was said to be the next to the ugliest man in all the country round, and his brother took precedence. The two brothers met a stranger, who, attracted by the supremely homely face of Joel, stopped his horse and said: “Excuse me, my friend, but would you mind tellin me your name?” In a sepulchral tone that fitted well the hideous face Joel replied: “Well, I guess I hain’t never deme nothin that would make me ashamed to tell my name. My name is Joel”— “ Where do you Ute, if it is a fair question?” “I live in Wayne county, Indianny. ” “Well, stranger, I’v.e seen much of Indianny, but I’ll bet you |lO that you’re the ugliest man in the state.” “Well, I hain’t no gamblin man,** replied Joel, “but I hain’t never seen nothin in the Scriptur* ag’in bettin on a sure thing, an I’ll jest take that bet. ” Turning to the wagon cover and peer ing into its depths he called: “Jonathan, stick your head outhyer. ” Jonathan did as he was requested. The stranger paid the money Without a word of complaint.—New York Mail and Express. He Got HU Leave. The Rev. Robert Nourse relates this story in The Oongregationalist: On a certain Sunday morning the or derly of the colonel of the Eighth Ohio presented himself before that officer. “Everything all right, colonel?” he asked. After looking around and find ing that the tent had been put in order and his boots blacked he replied in the affirmative. “I have a foyer to ask,” Mid the orderly. “State it,” said the colonel. “I beg that I may go off today, colonel, and go a little earlier and re main a little later.” “For what rea sons?” demanded the colonel. The or derly produced a letter and said, “Sir, I have received this from the president, and he invites me to dine at the White House.” The president of the United States is in every way to be ranked among the great rulers of the world. But the gen uine and unaffected democracy of the man who now holds that exalted office is shown in this incident, which could not be paralleled in any other country In the world. Santiago de Cuba has an ecclesias tical distinction, and that is that it is the oldest bishopric in the western world. When all Pennsylvania was a traceless waste, an archbishop ruled a see of no mean proportions from that city and. under that title. From the city of Santiago also went out the two great missionaries to the Indians and negroes, the first, who evangelised nearly all Central America, and the second, St Peter Waver, who worked among the negroes of Brazil.— Philadelphia Calk Millie—tree- Ste Mt.
