Our earlier ptforts at wash ing en lied forth contemptuous expletives from tho old sailors, who said that such badly washer clothes hung in the rigging yere a disgru'.'fi to the bhip. We reported at timea to a sea wa-sh, which consists in tying ii Manuel shirt to a line, flinging it oVerboruil an 1 letting it tow idler the f hip. ,Sotnotiino3 we hauled in our lines lees the shirt Ironi badly lie-el knots, and sometimes, when llo fchij) was surging ;-long at the rate of ton kjiots an hour, we hauled in a shirt less a ftood deal of f ho warp, for a bit of cloth vvon'.t J.irit long wlje;j treated in this manner.

Some of us had be longed to tho Dainty-and-di'.Ticult-to-suit' -ub order of boys grumbled at the coffee for breakfast, turned up our nose:; at this or that dish, and tixlo "mother hustle to pet us something lit to eat," Three weeks at sea cured us of I lint.

These were "benavlins." That is the sea phrase for tho crumbs that fall to the boys from tho eaptain's table, '-l.obscouse" is made of ihard bread, lioilod a short time with s.hredded salt beef. It is a relishable dish unywhere. A midnight luxury for a sea lunch is a biscuit, an onion and a slice of law pork. It sounds rough to the Lmds iiiaii s ear, but I have seen sailors, alter Jcing a month ashore, longing eagerly fer this "combination.'" LEAKXIXO COOD MAXNT.r.S. I am almost asliaiacd to say that it was necessary for us boys to go to sea in order to learn some necessary manners. For instance, when spoken to by au offi cer or ordered by him individually to do jny duty it was'required of us to say "Aye, ayo, sir," in order to show that we had heard wliat he had eaid and not go off without saying a word, as we had often done in somewhat similar circum stances with our parent;-;, leaving them in doubt whether wo liad heard them or not. Then we were required to show a certain deference, even to the older sailors, but wo had not been in the habit of doing to many of the grown up men of our village. If a boy on shipboard was too fresh, as the modern saying goes, with the old salts of tho forecastle and loo much inclined to move his tongue glibly when in their company, either with them or his own mates, he was very quickly reminded that his chaff and verbal horse play must lie reserved for !iis own special company and for a time and place. Our ship was furnished with a bully second mate. lie was knocking some body down much of tho time. This wns during the flush of the era of fast Cali fornia clippers, high sailor's wages and fast passages to San lYancisco. Men shipped, claiming to lie able seamen, who had not mastered their trade, lio icsuse an able seaman's vocation is a flrad as much as is that of a shoemaker. Jle should know all about knotting and splicing and be equal to any repairs or work required aloft. An "ordinary sea anaa" is expected to "hand reef and siteer," which, in 6ubstance, means he "'should know the ropes." be able to make himself useful on a yard in reefing and rot hang on a useless encumbrance si3 I did. Ho should know also how to tteer a ship properly, which, in the case of a great square rigger, jjosaibly having ell studding sails set, is a very tLhTerent and more diliicult affair than the cteer ingefaforo and aft vessel. A "boy, in. maritime parlance, is not expected to know anything, and a greenhorn wiii bo rated as a boy. though he is CO years ld. Pieatice ilulford in Kew York Btar.

New York Wprjtl." The Pri-tty Girl of IHctiiuond. People who have gone te the exposi tion at Richmond speak of the many hanelsomo women seen in the crowds there. TJiis observation is noeloubt well i'ounel.id. Richmond is a very provincial city in iuny respepis; but she is metro politan if not cosmopolitan in (hp beauty of her women, if this me'ant that the beauty of her women is imsurpasscel. There are no pre-eminent belles in Rich mond now as there were in the days closely' following the war, when Mattie Ouid translixeel with both her wit and beauty everybody sho met, but v.-hat has been "lost in individual celebrities has been more than made up in a great multi tuelo of wonderfully attractive women. Many of them pro blondes. There is a larger proportion of blonde women in Richmond than In any other city in the country. This comes naturally and lawfully from tlvcir English ancestry. Thero is very littler of the Spanish or French intermixture found in Virginia, and hence- tho creolo type of beauty is rarely seen in tho state. The work! runs after 'blondes" nowadays, especially after blonde or golden." hair; and such hair as fho Richiuonel women have! It is a special connection of (the genial southern sun, and is as dietmct in its beauty as tho golden leaf tobacco for which Virginia is so celebrated. If a .nan wcro starting out generally in search of a. bride, if he were willing to allow himself to drift where the Ameri can woman reaches the pink and apex of physical perf ection and attractiveness, ho ought to drift towards Richmond.
