Conversation in rublic Flares.
Iooli for a moment at conversation as we
ovei hear it on tho street, the horse and steam
car ;, Ilei o we find ourselves involuntarily
deciding who arc those best acquainted with
the laws of polite society and good breeding.
Betting aside tho cause of deafness, we are
often annoyed at tho persistency with which
leople in near proximity to ourselves en
deavor, ia conversation with their friends,
to c nlighteu all the others ts to their privato
af?airsT business, poverty or wealth, friends,
Eervants, r.nd what not. This is duo partly
ti be :iuO education in the matter of .conver

numbers cf those who ijav acquired wealth

Tli "lt 1owh" Churcli for Clar Siky and
, Smooth Su Tlie "Maud l'" Church
for Kuuli Weather Description of
Iluth Methfid of Worship.
We hail two separate and distinct kinds of
divine worship on board, especially adapted
to the exigencies of the weather. One was
know anionr us as "Sit Down" church; tho
ther as "Stand Up' church. When the wind
was fair and tho uea smooth, when the isky
was clear and the sun bright, when the sur
face of the ocean was rellweting from myri
ads of dimpling" wavelets the brilliant hue
and glancing beams of the firmament above,
then Sunday at sea showed no very striking
contrast to the day of rest ashore. The serv
ices of tho church were prefaced by tho serv
ice of the stato known to us as "divisions,"
when a careful and searching inspection of
ship and crew was carried on in grave and
dc-orous silenco by captain, commander and
senior lieutenant.
"Divisions"' over, the crew would disperse
for a short time while the order to ""rig
church" was -nrried out. In a large frigate
this was always done upon the main deck,
tho principal gun carrying deck, that is, of
the f-hip, thoroughly protected from wind
and ruin by tho upper deck above it. Here
accommodation was provided for the men,
some .KO in nuinlier, by placing capstan bars
and planks across inverted "washdeck tubs,"
afTording thus 'a kind of rough and ready
form on which to sit. These were placed
"athwnrtships," across the breadth of the
deck, while chairs were arranged further aft
for the senior and junior oilicers, who gener
ally sat on opposite sides of tho deck. The
chaplain, who on loard ship is known by a
thousand more or less irreverent names
padre, sky pilot, etc. is supplied with a
jKirtable apparatus as nearly akin to the
reading desk of tho shore as the wit of a
ship's carpenter can devise. This is also
"rigged" in a commanding position between
tho oliicers and men.
All being reported ready to tho comman
der, the order is given to "toll the bell," and
forthwith the sentry begins to thump slowly
and monotonously upon the ship's bell, the
clapier of which is held in tho hand and used
as a hammer, instead of the bell itself being
swung. Tho men are marched off to their
places, the officers take their seats, tho cap
tain comes out of his cabin, the chaplain en
ters his desk, and the familiar and solemn
words of the service fall uikhi the ear, accom
panied in this case by the muffled groaning
of the ship as she sways before the pressure
of the breeze. The responses aro, as a
rule, not loudly or distinctly made, but
merely muttered; whereas, were all
that congregation of men fully im
bued wjth tho spirit of praj-er, a
great and emphatic stream of supplication
should ascend from that compact parish
to the throne of Him who rules the raging of
tho sea. Hut when the time arrives for
Praise, then, provided that the tune is well
known and popular, tho blue jackets break
into a burst of song, often most harmonious,
always admirable from the power and rich
ness of tho volume of sound, and in which
many may be noted taking, with well trained
accuracy, the tenor and even the alto parts.
This is sometimes led by a small harmonium;
sometimes, should the ship bo large enough
to possess one, by the ship's band. Then fol
lows, as on shore, the sermon ; but when at
last the blessing has been given, and ere the
more seriously inclined have risen from their
knees, the loud imperative order comes from
tho lips of the commander, "Boatswain's
mate, pipe down!" the shrill trill of that
jxtty officer's whistle is instantly raised, in
obedience to the mandate, and officers and
men leave the main deck, which is speedily
cleared of its Sunday paraphernalia.
This, however, was fine weather worship,
when we all could meet in prayer without
hindrance. But there came Sundays when
the conditions were far otherwise when tho
wind was shrieking and whistling with fiend
ish uproar through spars and rigging; when
the waves were roaring and hissing, striking
with the force and thud of a steam hammer
against the bows of the laboring ship, which
herself added to the din by the indescribable
moans and groans and cracks by which she
gave expression to her indignation at such
unfair treatment. She would writhe and
Wallow, would plunge and roll, would trem
ble and stop, and then make a still more furi
ous rush forward, until all thought of divine
worship in the usual form was out of the
question.
These were the days of "Stand Up" church,
and now the elaborate arrangements of the
fine weather function were conspicuously
absent. The main deck ports wers closed to
deep out Iba hissing and angry seas, and thr
only light came from the hatchways above
many of them closed by gratings. A.
stood, officers and men alike; and those wh j
had experience of such things kept their eyes
on a handy ringbolt or friendly breeching of
a gun an3"thing, in fact, to which they
iaight cling should tho motion of the ship be
come too violent tven for well trained se
legs. Then the chaplain, no longer trusting
himself within the compass of his reading
desk, but clinging with all the strength of
one arm to an iron stanchion supporting the
deck above, lifted up his feeble voice in op
position to those of the strident elements,
which seemed to unite in the effort to smother
his solemn tones with their demoniac, uproot.
hst they should wing their way upward and
attain their goal. No sermon now, no hymns,
r.o litany, just the simple morning prayers,
pnd tho liiou aj-e dismissed tq find whai
comfort they caa on the close, musty, dark,
wet drtcks.
A Theatrical Superstition.
It is a superstition in the theatrical profes
sion that the placard "No Free List" is the
harbinger cf bad business, cs it generally
hapjeus thai it is tartly displayed excepting
ut establishments where the' business is no!
good. It is contended that the mere fact that
the hoiises a:-e crowded deters ''deadheads'
fro:n making applications for the eourtesict
of the estabih-huient, and that consequent
the sign is not necessary. - It is doubtful il
the display of the sign "Standing Roorr

I'eople 'Who Il I'nnectiamirlly.
Man people die unneceftiarily. Few peop!
take proper care of themselves. Healthy
jieople are pron to lo careless, and so de
stroy their health. Youth and health placo
the individual in a sort of intoxication. Tho
healthy young man is full of life, energy,
ambition, hope, enthusiasm. He thinks ho
can do anything with his vigorous constitu
tion, and ho generally does about everything
with it. He finds that a night of sound sleep
recuperates him, and ho imagines that this
will always be tho case. Instead of husband
ing his forces, ho wastes thc-in. He is as ex
travagant with h: - h h :.. .
may be with his money. Ho is living on bis
capital, and not on the returns from his in
vestments. Men and women ought not to die as ycuing
as they do. Our science has taught us that
the lower animals attain to a number of jenrs
five times us great as tho number of years
that bring them to maturity, barring, of
course, accident and disease. Man readies
maturity at tho ago of 25. Five tin.es 'J.V
125. Tho natural life of man ought to be 1-5
years, according to physiological laws. Of
course, ho must live iu a climate that does
not offer too great a resistance. 1'hysk-ian
in Boston Herald.
Dudes and Their Dog.
Another fad of our gilded youths is to go
about the streets with enormous dogs, pre
sumably of rare breeds and great value, trot
ting at their heels. Tho contrast between the
magnificent caninity of the dogs and tho
puny pusillanimity of their owners is amus
ing. I was in one of our uptown cafes the
other night and saw two slims eater, each
with a great dog after him, ono a St. Bernard
and tho other a mastiff. The dogs eyed each
other with surly look. The masters glared
with haughty rivalry in their eyes. Sud
denly the canines tackled each other furi
ously. Everybody jumped out of the way,
and tho poor boys were afraid to separate
the brutes. It was aa interesting situation,
only broken by a cyuical barkeejr, who
camo out and dashed some red pepper over
the interlocked heads of tho dog due-lists. It
was good sport while it lasted, not the less
on account of tho helpless and miserctilo
appearance of tho dudes who owned the dogs.

An EfTcctivfl Police System.
The police authorities of Russia boast that
they know the whersabouts and disposition
of every citizen of the empire every nigLt,
and it is through the dyomiks tliat they get
tho most of their information. No mora
effective spy system could l)o organized.
People must live iu houses, and the law re
quires every house to have a dvornik. No
one can be so employed who does not belong
to the artel, and the police control the artel.
The tenant is therefore completely at the
mercy of his servant, who, if so disposed,
can send him to Siberia on a charge of trea
son any time ho likes, and it requires little
more than a dvornik's testimony to obbiin a
"wolf's passport," as a sentence to exile is
called. William Eleroy Curtis in Chicago
News.
Two Set of Rank.
Go into any regular savings bank, and on
days when crowds of depositors arc there you
will see the best representatives of the ranks
of labor. Go into ono of the down town com
mercial banks, and you will see, not the day
laborer or mechanic, but the manufacturer
and the merchant, or their clerks. The first
set of banks is patronized by those who save
little by little, and don't have big piles of
money. The second set is used by those who,
whether they actually own large fortunes or
not, do, for the time, have big sums passing
through their hands. These two kin.ls of
banks have distinct species of patrons, anil
seldom doea any one bank have many custo
mers of more than its own particular kind.

Rather Costly Sport.
They were talking about bowling when
Stormy Sintcn Truss came up.
"Talk about bowling," said Stormy, "I
know tho tinio in New York when it cost mo
$50 every time I rolled a ball."
"How was that?" was asked.
"Why, I n5Jed liottles of champagne for
pins," replied Stormy, and the crowd dropped
out of sight. Cincinnati Enquirer,
The Grizzly as a SpeeJet.
I once chased a lean grizzly for several
nrdles, and. it was all I could do to keep up
with him upon a fleet horse. I man could
not have run half as fast as he did. Indeed,
I doubt if the fleetest pedestrian hunter could
make his escape if pursued by an exaper- i
atod grizzly bear in any condition, uidess he :
reached a tree or used his firearms effectu
ally. Brig. Gen. It. B. Mnrcy in Outing.
