STEWARD OP AN OCEAN LINER.
A Petition of Respo nslblllty With an
Army of Subordinate*.
It may surprise some old globe trot
- ten to know that the Mg ocean grey
hounds running between New York
and the European ports carry on an
average of 19,000 pieces of sterling
silverware for their table service, and
that this large amount of plate is han
dled during the voyage by from 200 to
■v; 240 waiters or “stewards,” as
they are oalled on shipboard. The
chief steward is responsible for ev
ery pleoe. He must be a man of quick
powers of observation, a student of
human nature and be up to all the
little devices of a small army of sub- j
ordinates usually keener.and quicker
' witted than those usually found
ashore in the same calling. It is a
- busy day for the steward twenty-four
hours before tho time set for depar
■\ ' ture. He has purchased or contracted
for all the supplies and an assistant
sees that the contracts are fulfilled.
But his personal attention must be
sj given to the silverware. He
keeps a regular debit and credit
account and can tell to a tooth
pick just what he will start away
with. On the voyage passengers are
apt to lose spoons or forks or other
ware by accident, and occasionally a
gay blade may think it amusement to
toga a sugar bowl or half a dozen
knives through a port hole. It is
^ needless to say that he furnishes a
quid pro quo before he goes ashore,
f When the other side is reached the
1'x chief steward spends a day in balanc
ing accounts. He started with so
much and so much should be on hand.
It there is a difference'he seeks to find
it, and if he can't find it he“makes
’ good" himself. The responsibility of
such a position naturally commands a
high salary, and every chief steward
onevery ocean steamship is, without ex
ception, a man of unimpeachable in
tegrity. The extraordinary record is
that in thirty years there have been
but two accusations of a betrayal of
a trust.
ONE OP CHINA'S CITIES.
Canton, IVUere the Pliguo Comes From,
and It Isu't Surprising.
A line or two from Mrs. Archibald
Dunn's new book gives a striking pic
ture of the horrors of life in Canton.
•‘The circumference of the city walls
measures from six to seven miles, and
within their enclosure there exist
$1,000,000 Chinese people. I had been
in many oriental cities and smelt
many oriental smells, but those of
Canton,” says Mrs. Dunn, “were
giants of them all. The passage-like
streets are open sewers, every de
scription of refuse being cast into
them and forming continuous heaps
on either side of the way. The water
supply is raised from wells in the
streets, the mouths of which are on a
level with the ground, and a shower
of rain, or drippings from the buckets
in whieh they lift it must carry back
the surrounding filth in a way horri
ble to think of. Through miles and
miles of these high, narrow alleys did
we travel, through the most fetid, air
less atmosphere that human lungs
could cope with, through the most
evil and noisome odors that could as
sail human nostrils, past the most
loathsome sights in the shape of ab
normal butcher meat—such as dogs
and cuts, skinned and dressed ready
for cooking; rats, both dried and
hanging alive by the tails; frogs and
unnatural-looking fish in tubs of
water, alive, and awaiting death and
consumption.
Powder and Patch.
Wigs are of very ancient origin.
According to Xenophon, Astyages,
king of the Medes, wore a wig. In
the writings of L’ivy, Plutarch, and
many others, references are made to
this covering for the head, which was
made of hair, silk, thread, or other
material. The ancient Romans were
prone to use the natural hair, and
preferred the blonde locks of the
Germans. It is stated that “Henry
III., of France, having lost his hair
by sickness, wore a wig, and his
courtiers began to follow his exam
ple.” At the time of the French rev
olution both wigs and powder dis
appeared; but the large white wig is
still worn by the English judges.
Misdirected Sympathy.
An absent-minded landlord called
on a tenant to condole with him on
tlie death of a valuable cow. The
cause of its disease had been envel
oped in mystery,and while explaining
it, the landlord, though a kind and
sympathizing person, went off into
the clouds. The last words of the
narrative were: “And would you be
lieve it,when we opened her we found
she had been choked by a large turnip
that was sticking in her gullet.” Here
the landlord woke up, and, in a con
gratulatory tone of voice, observed:
“Ah,yes, and so you got your turnip?”
Knrly Christian Milkmen.
St. Ireneeus, one of the very early
fathers of the church, in the second
century after Christ, writes as fol
lows: “As was said by one, concern
ing all who in any way deprave the
things of Ood and adulterate the
truth, ’it is evil mingling gypsum
with milk.’ ” Some have thought
that St. Peter, when he used the ex
pression in his epistle, “the sincere
milk of the word,” means “unadulter
ated” milk. Certainly the Greek word
which means in one version we trans
late “sincere,” would bear this inter
pretation.
Burled In the Same Grave*
In the violet calm of evening, just
as dusk was deepening into darkness,
and the pall of night was settling
over the world, she spurned his suit.
“No,” she said calmly but firmly.
“Then I will be avenged,” he hissed!
Presenting her little brother with a
toy pistol he swallowed a phial of
prussic acid. They were buried in
the same grave.
The Ice Water Ilablt.
The ice water drinker is just at
much of a "fiend” as the morphine
eater. In many oases the habit of
the former is just as strong as that
of the latter, and just as hard to
break. It has been frequently dem
onstrated that the drinking of ice
water is an acquired habit, and not
one that comes naturally. Give an
infant ice water and you will notice
by its action that the drink is very
distasteful. It usually has the same
effect upon an Indian or upon any
person not accustomed to it. Be
sides it is very unhealthy, and any
person that can avoid drinking ice
water should do so

DID NOT LIKE THE BED.
Sarah Offers a Concla iiva Reason for
Not liuyln^.
Two maiden ladies walked into a
New York furniture stor3 the other
day and asked to be shown some
chamber suits of reasonable price.
They were tall, thin, prim and
sisters.
The salesman showed them an ex
tensive line of bedroom furniture.
At last a suit was reached that
pleased one of the women.
“What's the price of this?” she
asked.
“Twenty-eight dollars,” replied the
salesman. “Seven pieces in the set.
Made of thoroughly seasoned wood.
Everything is first-class about it. You
couldn't buy one like it anywhere else
in the city for less than 835. It's a
bargain.”
“It does seem reasonable, Sarah,”
said the woman who had asked the
price of the set.
Sarah walked around the bedstead,
scrutinizing it carefully from several
points of view, and finally shook her
neau.
“It don’t quite suit me,” she Baid.
They left the store.
When they had reached the side
walk Mary said:
“Sarah, I think wo made a mistake
in not taking that suit.”
“Do you really believe that?” asked
Sarah.
“Yes, it was a bargain.”
“But that bedstead, Mary?”
“Well, what about it? I didn’t see
anything the matter with the bed
stead. It was stylish looking and
well made, as far as I could see.”
“Yes, yes; but it was so low.”
“Well, what of that? For my part
I like a low bed.”
“But, my dear sister,” said Sarah,
reproachfully, “that bedstead was
altogether too low. It would be ut
terly impossible for a man to crawl
under it.”
Matches.
The first match was the product ot
the ingenuity of John Frederick
Komerer, who early in this century
was imprisoned in the penitentiary at
Ilohcnasperg, in Germany. lie in
vented the lueifer-match while in his
gloomy dungeon. The German gov
ernment forbade the manufacture of
matches on the ground of public pol
icy, because some children playing
with them had caused a fire. Komerer
was ruined by Viennese competition
when he was released from prison,and
died a pauper. Up to 1863 the Vienna
manufacturers controlled the match
business of the world.
The Judgment Seat.
A high seat called “kursl” is to be
found in the courtyaed of all well-to
do houses in Cairo and other large
towns of the East. It is occupied by
the master of the house when decid
ing domestic affairs. Such seats are
never wanting in the courtyard of the
houses of the sheikhs, heads of tribes,
or of persons in authority. The seat
is placed in a shady part of the court,
and judgment is delivered from it ou
matters which are brbught for decis
ion by the inhabitants of the district,
or by members of the tribe over which
the master of the house nresides.
