A PILOT’S ARDUOUS WORK. HARDY MEN WHO BRING BIG OCEAN STEAMERS INTO PORT. The Pilotage System Under Strict G overnment Surveillance—W ork Done by Pilots and Their Pay. The lives of some of the New York pilots tell a story of the sea more dramatic and interesting by far than ever fell to the pen of a novelist to relate. They are, for the most part, a set of hardy men, bred, almost from their birth, to the pur suit of their precarious professions and inured to hardships which the most heroic landsman would shrink from experiencing. The pilotage system of this country is governed by strict rules, enacted by Con gress and administered by a Board of Commissioners of Pilots, consisting of five persons, having offices at No. 40 Burling slip. Three of the members are usually appointed by the Chamber of Commerce and two by the Board of Underwriters, which has so much at stake on the safe coming and going of our foreign and domestic craft. Through rain and shine, summer and winter, the pilots are ever on the watch, some cruising close to shore in the vicinity of our harbor, while others go as far east as Halifax, N. S., and sftutli to Cape Henry. These two routes are called the Eastern and Southern cruises respectively, and cover most of the waters of our coast inside the Gulf Stream. Strange to say, no pilot boat ever crosses that singular sheet of water, and the only vessels of the sort to be met with off shore are the daring little clippers, with their intrepid crews, who hail from New York. Sometimes our metropolitan pilotboats cruise around for weeks without sighting a vessel. At other times ship after ship is picked up in rapid succession until the supply of pilots on- board is exhausted and she is compelled to return to New York and take a new and fresh force. When a vessel is hailed by a pilotboat the law requires that a man from that boat shall be taken on board. Some shipmas ters, however, prefer piloting their ves sels in for themselves, although by doing this they risk their claims for insurance in case of disaster. If they reject a pilot after being hailed they must still pay at the regular rates at the office of the Pilot Commissioners. While a pilot is on board a vessel within the pilot grounds he has the con trol of it, and is answerable for any injury that may happen through his fault, and this liability was carried to such an ex tent by the early maritime law of some European countries that the pilot, if un able to render full satisfaction, atoned for his negligence with his life. While the pilot is on board the power of the master of the vessel is not, as is erroneously sup posed, wholly superseded. It is his duty, in case of obvious and certain disability or dangerous ignorance or mistake on the part of the pilot, to dipossess him of his authority. So it is the duty of the mas ter to see that a lookout is kept, and gen erally while the orders of the pilot are imperative as to the course the vessel is to pursue, the management of it is still under the control of the master. When a great Ship, half dismasted and deep laden with precious freight, is feel ing its way through storm and rain, like a blind man, toward its goal, when every moment threatens destruction, the pilot’s voice coming through the darkness, in which only a couple of dancing lights denote the pilot boat, sounds like the salutation of a specter. “Ship ahoyl Do you want a pilot?” is the usual cry which often rings out through a fog so thick that no sign of a vessel, if we may except the little light, can be seen anywhere about. At such times the pilot leaves the deck of his lit tle craft at the risk of his life. His cockle shell of a boat dances on the huge waves under the streaming side of the laboring ship. A rope is thrown him, at which he grasps, and is hoisted up the ship’s side, while the boat disappears in the darkness. Sometimes he misses his hold and plunges into the black water to rise no more. At others the miserable shell of a yawl perishes midway between the pilot boat and the vessel for which it is bound and all hands are lost. Every sailor on a pilotboat is eligible to the post of pilot, in due turn, if he can pass an examination and demonstrate a proper knowledge of the obstructions of the harbor and the elementary principles of navigation. Even if he has not money enough to purchase a share in a pilot boat, he is appointed to service on one, and usually, in the course of a few years, sates money enough to buy a portion of her. The average gain of a Sandy Hook pilot is S2OOO a year. The pay of a boat keeper is S3O, of a seaman $25, ot a steward SSO a month. This money is first subject to a reduction for expenses. The 2 per cent, is deducted for the Board of Commissioners and a small sum for the owners of the boat for rent and repairs. The pilot boats in the New York ser vice number twenty-two. They are built of the best material, sheathed and fast ened with copper, and rarely cost their owners less than $40,000. They are usually manned by twelve men—six pi lots, five seamen and a steward—and are commanded by one of the seamen, who is known by the generic title of “boat keeper.” Tho pilots are classed according to their service and record. The B class is the highest, and comprises men who have seen the longest term of active service in these boats. Others are rated at 16 feet, eighteen feet, etc., which means that they are restricted from piloting vessels of greater draught than that to which their rate assigns them. These latter are all young pilots, who, as they gather ex perience, are rated higher in proportion to their merits. There are two schedules of rates for pilotage, governed by the seasons. In summer, when the service is a compara tively easy one, the rates on merchant vessels are a little less than those expected during the severe weather of winter. The deficiency in amount is made up for, how ever, by the increased number of vessels arriving and departing. In winter the number of vessels arriving at fnis port falls off at least one-quarter. Vessel* bound hither are frequently forced by stress of weather to seek refuge in inter mediate ports and transfer the cargo. Others, again, meet the fate of tne Dan mark, and add their timbers to the bleach ing ribs of other stately ships which strew our coast from Florida to the borders of Maine. The fees for summer pilotage, as estab lished by law, are as follows: For every merchant vessel inward bound and draw ing less than fourteen feet of water $2.78 per foot draught is paid. For vessels be tween fourteen and eighteen feet the rate is $3.38 a foot. Between eighteen and twenty-one $4.18 is charged, and for any ship with a draught of twenty-one feet oi ovUr $4.88 per foot must be paid. Ii boarded out of sight of Sandy Hook one fourth of the above rates are added. Foi outward pilotage there is a reduction made of about a dollar a foot. In winter time, from November to April, an ad ditional sum of $2 is charged on every vessel. This the pilots call “mitten money.” —New Yorlc Star. NEWS AND NOTES FOR WOMEN. Green remains the color most in vogue. A new shade of pink is called raw veal. The peacock’s feathers are no longer in vogue. There is a society of lady artists in London. Spring willow is a lovely shade of gold en green. Seven ex-mistresses of the White House are living. Morning toilets show many varieties ol Directoire rediugotes. The favorite rose for white rose tulle bonnets is the eglantine. The Lady Guide Association in London is proving to be a success. Pompeiian blue looks royal and beauti ful in velvets and plushes. Black mull, drawn hats and bonnets arc in fashion for country wear. The yellow mimosa is a favorite trim ming flower on black hats and bonnets. Round waists and belts are gradually displacing pointed bodices and basques. Princess Christian and Princess Louise often drive about London in hansom cabs. Mrs. Mona Caird has organized a scheme of neighbors’ clubs in England. Miss Morstock, an English painter, had five pictures in the Royal Academy this year. Chicago has a home for self supporting women where board is to be had for $2.25 a week. Mine. Rukmabai, a prominent woman of India, has gone to London to study medicine. Dresses of pale green crepe de chine are now fashionable with black gloves and ribbons. Dainty petticoats of nainsook and cam bric are finished with tiny tucks and in sertion of point d’esprit. Mrs. Sarah Oates, of Kansas City, has made a fortune of $2,000,000 from a real estate investment of S2OOO. Children may wear sun hats of pale rose, blue and white chambery, shirred upon extremely heavy cords. Rich brocades, antique in color and de sign, are used in various ways to brighten up dresses of black surah or faille. The organization known as “The King’s Daughters” is only six years old, but it has forty thousand members. Worth has returned to the use of plain grenadine and the old-fashioned Ilernani for handsome black summer gowns. Mrs. Celia E. Wentworth is said to be the only lady pupil Cabanel, the famous French artist, ever received into his studio. For occasions of ceremony the Queen Regent of Spain sometimes puts aside her black garments and wears a lilac gown. Mrs. Spurgeon, wife of the celebrated London preacher, sends books to poor country clergymen and bonnets to their wives. Turned-downed plaited frills of em broidered muslin are the favored finish for the neck and frills of little girls’ frocks. New glove buttoners are in the form of large gold initials. Others have attached to them tiny knives with blue enameled handles. Short waists are no longer popular for little girls, the embroidered band or rib bon sash being used to give the short waisted effect. The accordion-plaited skirt, notwith standing its objectionable features and the difficulty it requires in managing it, is very popular. Corded silks are still retained for even ing wear. The favorite shades are golden willow, apricot, Parma violet, golden tan and dove gray. Black trimmings, especially black moire or satin ribbons, more than hold their own against alf the colors of Paris and Persia combined. Soft low-crowned toques are the most popular head covering of the season. They are worn en suite with costumes of nearly every description. Oskaloosa, Kansas, under its women of ficials, has got ten clear of debt, and now has a balance in the treasury for the first time since the war. The widow Callahan, of Texas, owns 150,000 sheep and 20,000 acres of land, and yet it has been five years since she had an offer of marriage. Brussels has distinguished herself by a bonnet show. The first prize was given to a “flat,oyster-shell sort of contrivance, decorated with raspberries.” Silk gloves, fine, clinging and long wristed, come in all the new shades, and will more than divide honors with kid ■fchen warm weather comes. Among the recent importations are toques of lace and straw lace is nearly flat shapes, the trimmings being small, soft rosettes of comete ribbons. Shot stuffs, either silk, satin or silk and wool mixed, are made up into Directoire coats for wear over skirts of piece lace, cither white or black. THE FARM AND GARDEN. REMEDY FOR ROSE BOGS. Rose bugs are killed by means of a spray of water in which insect powder is mixed in the proportion of one teaspoon ful to a gallon. This is sprinkled over the foliage by a hand-spraying syringe. The most effective fertilizer for flowering plants is a solution of a pound of nitrate of soda in a barrel of water, of which a quart is poured around the plants directly after a shower or when the shower is fall ing. In dry weather this solution is in jurious, as it rapidly increases in strength by evaporation of the water. A good liquid fertilizer is made by infusing wood ashes and han manure in water; about one shovelful of each to a barrel of water. —New York Times. SHIPPING BEES. Bees can be shipped long distances if only precautionary measures are taken to confine them to the hive. They also need ventilation while in transit. Our hives are Lanstroth with porticoes, and in preparing some colonies for transporta tion to Nebraska lately, good, strong colonies were chosen, in which the frames were securely fastened with propolis or bee-glue. A couple of thicknesses of old blanket were wrung out lightly of warm water and spread over the frames, plenty large enough to reach over the sides of the hives, and then a board nailed on. The dampness in the blanket served the double purpose of keeping the bees cool and furnishing water while in transit. Wire gauze was nailed securely over the front of the portico. Bees fixed up in like manner, missing their destination, and that were knocking about as freight for three weeks, yet finally arrived at their destination all right. The bees we shipped were sent by express. —Prairie Farmer. ISHMAEL OF ANIMALS. The mule is a hybrid with no pedigree, belongs to no genus or species, has a bad reputation, and has been abused all his life, says Galen Wilson in the New York Tribune. If persistent treatment of any kind will finally breed that characteristic into the blood and bones he has sufficient excuse for being an Ishmael among other animals, with his heels against all of them. Even in the questionable sawdust circle he has no place of “trust, honor or emolument,” but is ever compelled to be a guy and a clown, and yet he possesses many solid virtues. He matures quicker than the horse, is hardier, will subsist on less and oarser food, is less liable to dis ease, is stronger in proportion to weight, needs less care, will do as much -work every day and live twice as many years, and as such commends himselsto all who have occasion to employ beasts of burden. His ample, elongated, auricular append ages denote acuteness of hearing, and the bones, muscles and sinews of his physical anatomy are noted for their flexibility and aptness at sudden impulses of ac celerated impetus. CHICKS ON THE FARM. Poultry reared with free range of orch ard and meadow are the largest and also finest in plumage and symmetry. They have a prouder carriage and a look of thrift and health not often seen in chicks reared within the limits of town lots. If the breeder must, of necessity, limit the range, he must provide artificially the ad vantage which the country naturally sup plies. Inseets he must replace with chopped meat, and, lacking grass range, he must cut grass and clover daily. Shade must be provided during the summer, otherwise failure is sufe. Poultry raising and fruit culture go hand in hand, and may be combined on the same ground. An orchard is much benefited by allowing fowls free range, as the crop of harmful insects is kept down. In the heat of summer the young chicks will grow and thrive in the shady orchard and pick up much of their living in it. If the breeder lacks these advantages and is compelled to raise his fowls in confine ment he may by extra care raise fair birds, but even with the best attention they will never equal in beauty of plumage and vigor of constitution and size the country reared chicks that have developed their muscles in many a foraging expedition.— New York Herald. PLOWING WET GROUND. Nothing is gained by beginning plow ing too early. Important as early seed ing may be, and hurrying as farm work may prove after it fairly begins, it is better to wait until the ground will turn up pliable rather than sticky. Under draining is a great advantage to the farmer in enabling him to plow early. The soil is made porous by the sinking away of superfluous moisture, so that where the drainage is thorough the plow may be started almost as soon as frost is out of the ground. Once plowed with the soil not sticky ii is to the depth of the furrow much more thoroughly ex posed to air than before. But if the soil is wet stirring only puddles it and makes it harden into clods during the summer. Clayey land is often injured for years by being once plowed when too wet. Fall plowing with the surface left rough is the best corrective to such land after it has been brained. Without drainage the wet mass runs together and the sun hardens it as bad or worse than before. If the land is in sod it will bear plowing when somewhat wetter than if it were naked. The sod under the furrow will not press down closely, and this leaves chances for the warmer air from above to enter and dry it. Early plowed sod ground brings much better corn or po tatoes than that plowed just before plant ing, provided the land was not too wet at the earlier plowing. The mistake of too early plowing is more apt to be made in hurrying to get grain sown. Better wait a few days later, put on more teams, or merely cultivate the surface and then sow or drill in the seed. —Boston Culti vator. TRAINING YOUNG ANIMALS. It would be impossible to compute the immense loss that is sustained each year by farmers, owing to the improper train ing of young stock,renderiug the animals in many cases vicious and unsafe ever afterward. Some suggestions on this subject are given by a correspondent: In most sections of agricultural practice we have made a decided advance, and it is somewhat singular that in the rearing, training and breaking of animals—what we might style the education of animals, so conductive to the comfort or discom fort of man—we still pursue a course that is closely associated with the dark ages. One common foundation cause forms the basis of our non-success in the education of animals, and ii is the root and the re sultant cause of the evils that follow. We assume that all animals at birth possess hereditary vice, and that vice must be eradicated before the animal can become a useful servant to man. This is most certainly a mistake, and one that leads up to numerous evils. The same erroneous practice prevails in the training of horses, bulls, dogs, etc., but it is probably in the case of horses where the greatest mischief results. In the education of a colt or a filly, or a young bull, the same care is needed as that of a child. The disposition should be studied, and defects eradicated by kind yet firm treatment. At present, if a foal is of a lively temperament, it is at oDce put down as vicious, and if either of its parents have showed what is mis called vice, the result of mistaken brutality in their education,then the foal’s liveliness is put down as hereditary vice, and a prolonged course of harsh conduct and beating is deemed necessary to effect a cure. If, on the other hand, the young animal is of a slow and heavy nature, it is erroneously supposed to be the result of vicious sulleuness, and the same treat ment as in the case of the lively foal is undertaken—harsh treatment and beat ing to bring them into so-called sub jection. In each case this cruel dis cipline had just the opposite effect to that sought, and hence we have sadly too many kicking, biting, jibbing and bolt ing horses. In place of having horses wliich entertain affection for man we have them in constant fear of man, ever ex pectant of a blow,and their worst actions, often leading up to accident or death, are too often the result of this fear; possibly some movement of the driver not con nected with them being misconstrued into the intention to inflict a blow. In the breaking and education of all young animals firmness should blend with kind ness,but never with harshness or brutality. London Live Stock Journal. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Begin early on the weeds. Sunlight is as necessary as corn. Silage is not a substitute for hay. Exercise is cheaper than medicine. Fresh water is abundant and cheap. Carbolic acid is cheaper than cholera. Did you ever sow beans in drills? Try it. Lime is cheaper than rupe and fumiga tion than lice. Parsnips sown early make an excellent food for stock. Don’t neglect to rose bushes, cutting them well back. The wild cherry trees form a breeding place for the tent caterpillar. The hen is a scratching bird; therefore let her scratch—but the gardeu. The best stock is the cheapest ;»erc fore never sell the best and buy anything but the best. A crop of buckwheat will rid land of the wireworm, says Professor J.A. Luilie, New York State Entomologist. Basswood is pronounced by good au thority probably the best honey plant in the world, all things considered. The Southern Cultivator does not con sider any green crop turned under a de sirable preparation for a crop of peas. By planting sweet corn every week for a few weeks, a supply of green foddei may be had the whole season through. Vick pronounces the spirea one of oui best flowering shrubs, ranking next tc the hydrangea for general effect and ease of culture. “Always have a nice bunch of hay be fore the calf, to induce her to eat, there by expanding the stomach,” advises a cattle-breeder. No good housewife can set a good table without plenty of eggs. Hence the necessity of every farmer keeping a nice flock of poultry. Calves should be watered regularly, says a farm authority. They often suffer greatly from thirst—the milk not being all the drink they need. Feeding silage from the top, rather than cutting it down from the sides, is considered preferable by Professor Cook and many other good authorities. In no other way can the farmer so radi cally do the work of nature to his advan tage as by using 'tile; for underdrainage both lengthens the seasons and deepens the soil. Any novice can propagate current and gooseberry bushes from slips, and . very home should have at least a half acre devoted to this kind of fruit. An acre is not too much for the most of our homes. Silage as a change of food for stock will cause cholera.in horses, affirms H. Talcott, Assistant Dairy Commissioner of Ohio. So, when you commence, feed only a little. It'is safe to feed it to mules. If a lamb dies in a flock where there are twins of the same, age, take the dead out of the sight of ' the mother, strip off its skin and sew it upon one of the twins. Put the latter withtthe bereaved ewe,and she will quickly adiopt it. One of the most, 1 important matters in farming is to liavtcyour seed entirely clean. Wheat should be cleaned of cockle and oats of sunflower seed before sowing. And where thedand is foul it may be easily cleaned by summer‘fallowing. Good sheep, good land, and good roots generally go together, at' any rate it is not often they are very far apart, foi wherever land can raise a good crop and is dry enough to carry sheep through the winter it must very soon get, into good heart and be able to grow almost any thing. ' Flying Machines. Attempts to make birds the models upon which man should construct a fly ing apparatus are almost without number History is full of such attempts and their failures. Three years ago, at the meet ing of the American Association for the advancement of science, a certain profes sor, Isaac Lancaster, read a paper before the Buffalo Convention, in which he pro fessed to give the results of many years’ study devoted to the observation of birds in flight. “In 1870,” said Prof. Lancaster, “I went to the Gulf coast of South Florida, below Tampa Bay, and resided there for five years, continuously engaged in this matter. From Tampa Bay to the Keys,soaring birds are found in profusion. These consist of buzzards, frigate birds, various cranes, gannets, eagles, pelicans, gulls, herons, and oth ers of less importance. The buzzards would habitually rest in the sea breeze along the inner or bay coast, between thirty and fifty feet above the water, fac ing the wind for hours at a time on mo tionless wings. They were birds of from four to six pounds weight, with an equal number of square feet of wing sur face. I watched a score of them on one occasion for fourteen consecutive hours, during which time not a dozen flaps were made for each bird. If a bird can float indefinitely in calm air without using muscular exertion, being for mechanical purposes as rigid as a board, then a board or metal body of the right shape and po sition ought to be able to do the same thing. Iu construction it must preserve the essential features of the bird’s wing.” The professor said that nothing was nec essary to success but a nice imitation of the figure of a bird when floating in the air. When you suffer from dyspepsia, heartburn, malarial affections, kidnoy disease, liver com plaint and other wasting diseases. When you wish to enrich the blood and purify the system generally. When you wish to remove all feel ing of weakness, weariness, lack of energy, try a bottle of Brown’s Iron Bitters, and see how greatly it will benelit you. It surpasses all known remedies as an enricher of the blood, and a perfect regulator of the various bodily functions. Ask your druggist. The breweries in Detroit, Mich., have passed into the control of a British syndicate. Is It any Wonder that Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery outsells all other blood and liver medicines, slnco it possesses such superior curative prop erties as to warrant its manufacturers in sup plying It to the people (as they are doing, through druggists) under conditions such as no other medicine is sold under, viz: that it must either benofit or euro the patient, or the money paid for it will ba promptfy returned. It cures all diseases arising from deranged liver, or from impure blood, as biliousness, “liver com plaint,” all skin and scalp diseases, satt rheum, tetter, scrofulous sores a d swellings, fever-soros, liip-Joint di icose and kindred ail ments.
