SHIPS JUST LIKE A VILLAGE.
Strange Little Worlds Are the South
Pacific Ocean Steamers.
In the motfnlng (how strange af sea)
I "was awakened by the bleating of a
lamb and by a lusty cockcrow. The
Royal Mail steamers of the west coast
are a strange little world. Built for an
ocean where storms are unknown,
they combine certain comforts not to
be found on much more pretentious
boats.
Their saloons and cabins are excep¬
tionally' large and open directly upon
the promenade decks that stretch the
entire length of the ship, there being,
properly speaking, no steerage and no
second class. The natives anql others
who cannot afford tlie first class ticket
travel in the “cubierta,” as it is called,
a deck at the stern roofed with canvas,
but otherwise open, where iu pictur¬
esque confusion, surrounded by bags
and bundles, they loll In hammocks or
Tie wrapped in shawls.
Toward this deck the hencoop faces
—a big two story affair, partly filled
with ripening fruits, bananas, oranges
and the like .and partly with chickens,
ducks and other forlorn looking fowl,
fatfeulng for the table. Between
decks, stand your beef and mutton on
the hoof, gazing mournfully up at you
as you look down the hatchways.
Upon this homelike boat, quiet and
cbntgrit&L with no uuseemly burry,
you meander down the coast 'at ten
knots. The air is soft as a caress, and
for at least eight months of the^-ear
the sea Is as placid as a mountain
lake, a glassy mirror reflecting an
azure sky.—Ernest i’iexotto in Scrib¬
ner’s Magazine.
Man’s Complex Makeup.
The average man in health has the
material for 13 pounds of candies, one
pound of nails, carbon sufficient for
800 pencils, bindings for 16 octavo
books. 500 knife handles, 28 violin
strings. 20 teaspoonfuls salt and one
pound of loaf sugar.
Small Demand for Buttons.
The Rev. G. Preston Tonge of St
Paul’s church, Yarmouth, England, in
his Parish Magazine, under the head
lng of "Acknowledgments.” says:
“Several anonymous contributions of
buttons have been received. We are
6tlll wondering how to use these gifts
to the best advantage In the district,
as, for obvious reasons, they are un
•uited to the needs of the heaten."
BIROS OF ANCIENT LINEAGE
Wild Fowl In London Park In Tenancy
Since 1611, According to Old
Documerit.
London.—Some curious old docu¬
ments offered for sale recently by a
London dealer prove clearly that the
wild fowl which occupy the lakes .in
the London parks were in occupancy
Phere in the reign of James I. One
document Is Lord Rochester’s bill of
charges “for keeping the fowl® and
beasts at the St. James parke and
gardens for April, May and June,
1611.”
It is signed by the earl of Salisbury.
Another document is for the "charges
layed out on St. James parke and the
springe garden for keepinge and feed
inge his majesties forrayne bestes
and fowle there 1611-12,” and this is
signed by Sir Julius Caesar.
THEATER ON WHEELS CLOSED
Balky Traction Engine Caused Parle
Manager to Abandon His Pet Pro¬
ject-Will Try It Again.
Paris.—One of the most Interesting
theatrical experiments of late years,
the Theater Ambulant Gemler, or the
Gemier Traveling Theater, is about to
come to an end in its present form,
and the company is going into liquida¬
tion.
Mr. Gender, the enterprising actor
Manager of the concern, formerly of
the Comedie Francaise, states that
although, from the point of view of
the receipts, averaging $600 a day,
the new venture has been a complete
success. It Is impossible to continue
the present method of tugging the
heavy theater, scenery, properties,
dressing room, caravans, lighting
plant, etc., along the roads by means
of a traction engine, which, when
working properly gets up a speed of
three miles an hour, and at other
times, falls into ditches, dashes down
hills Into churchyards and otherwise
complicates matters.
The founder, therefore, thought it
best to go into voluntary liquidation;
but he has not the smallest Idea of
giving up this yortabie theater. He
will still take it around the country,
putting it up ltt town after town as
he arrives; but henceforward all the
vans will be transported by rail In a
special train.
M. Gemier seems to have had noth¬
ing but trouble ever since he started
Another setback was that at a number
of towns booked he was unable to give
performances owing to the dear-food
riots.
