THE MASTER OF A BIG OCEAN STEAM ER IS NOT A PLUTOCRAT Kwerytliing i onni• (ilvcn Other 4). Iren* lor Oocrnaw l*ur wr and Surgeon. It is tho general impression among those who do not know that the duties ami responsibilities of tho average skip per of a tegular liner ure us many and onerous as the successful hank president and that in addition bis salary is just as large. The responsibility of the one is about as great as the other, but when it comes to duties the sea dog has as a rule n m il more to bear, w hile, unlike the I auk president, his salary is us small us ins duties are large. It may surprise some of the ri gulur transat lantic travelers to learn that their beau ideal i f a sea captain who in faultless gold lace gois about the deck laughing and chatting with the touiists, putting tin half faro tots on the hack and dolling his cap to the rug clad occupants of an easy steamer chair between the time that lie spends in his berth, in the chart room or on the bridge, gets little more money n month Ilian the detective sergeant or the average steamboat cap tain. In many instances Mr. (told Lace gets less. One of the most successful lines run ning between this port and Kurope pays its commodore, who has been over 20 years in this particular service, £8f> a month, or about f 175. Tina is about $40 a week. The other captains in ibis line are paid tho equivalent of $120 for 110 days’ labor. Any number of matter of no fact stories have been printed with tho object cf showing that the com manders of the great liners received in some cases sums ranging from $7,000 to $12,000 per year. But such talk is idle. Them is not a single captain on tho ocean who enjoys such an income. That many of them deserve to is anoth er matter entirely. In an argument that master mariners are well paid tliu point is advanced that the oflleerH are fed while at mu and even alongside the wharf with the best that the market adonis and at the ex pense of the steamship company Yet 80 per cent of these well fed gold luces are married and have tag families (hat demand food, clothes and a home either hero or abroad, whctbci or not the ship is in port, 'ibis establishment costs us mueh while the master mariner is on the bosom of old Neptune us it does when he is playing dry cob at home for a short period. His going or coming adds or deducts littlo from the general cost. There are few pursers on the Atlantic who command a higher monthly salary than £‘!0. They must liuve years of ex perience, a host of friends und he “top sawyers,” as they say at sea, to com mand even this hgnro. Unlike the stevvuids, and, in the majority of cases, the ships’ surgeons, the purser is sel dom made the recipient of u generous tip. Nobody seems able to explain why it is so, unless it he tbut the purser, handling all the money of the voyage, which includes extra passage money, the receipts from the smoker made through the chief steward, the wine bills from the tables, all amounting to a pretty large figure, is recognized as the financial end of the floating hotel and so treated accordingly. The smoker and its many attachments arc luxuries which the captain is not permitted to enjoy, or if permitted rare ly indulges in. Any skipper who would maku himself a jolly good fellow in the smoker would lose the confidence of tboso under his care as fast as a trout taking u May fly. Not tlm-t his appear ance there would make him any less the sailor, but passengers for some reason or another seem to believe that the only pkico for tho master of their ship is on the bridge or in tbo chart room. And if they can picture him on this bridge iu oilskins and so’wester with tho wind and sleet and ice blustering around him so much the better to the narft.clifiii rtf fh*«ir ififiii nf t.liM itmf'l.inAl ainl capable mariner. Tbe poorest puid man in an official capacity on a great liner is probably tbe surgeon. Home passengers have tbe opinion that as tbe company pays tbe ship's doctor those using him on a trip ure nut supposed to give liuuucial recog nition to bis atteutou. It is true that none is obliged to, but lie should. The demand of a doctor at sea is in nowise different from that demand on laud. The steamship companies give a passen ger board, lodging uud truusportutiou at a oust that could not be cquuled on any railroud of tbe earth, when distuuoe, accommodation uud utteutiou ure oou sidered. Tbe luxury of a doctor, while generally forced, is ut tbe same time an auxiliary of sea travel for which tbe company receive* nothing, and which, when free tutdiciues ure included, as they invariably are, costs quite a good deal. i.xpiritueid c, says in the Halil tin re Fuu that tin- Fellah novelist I# i y slniplo In his in.inn, ■» mud is rather sib nt s to ii in w - n ty but lie I* a tp-od llsti tier I-1 a g-sal »l ly He Is id luedi uu site, rather dark ami is Inclined to .ahlnwes, witn a hint of gray over th* l. uipb i The liaiiic |s |.n.it- "isnl t'b- u kaV veeleii, with the s i« nl 0*1 the text • ml syllable ami (lie rh pioieonned as in i hild Ills limiw I* o, » at V\ .nss ll . sh uu*.

Simple Mumoim That Prove (effective la a Caae of Syncope. Fainting, or syncope, is a temporary loss of consciousness, occam :g with enfeebled and retarded action of the beart, as manifested bv a slow and al most imperceptible pulse, extreme pal lor of the face, especially the lips, anil a coldness and lividityof the hands and feet. The attack of unconsciousness is gen erally preceded by a feeling of slight nausea, a swimming before the eyes, noises in the ears, a fullness of the bead and an indescribable feeling of “all goneness, “ of the extreme wretchedness of which no one can have any idea who has not exjierienced it in his own per son. Tlie voices of those around gradually become indistinct, objects grow dim, the breathing is oppressed, anil tiuully darkness closes in, the muscles relax, and the sufferer passes into that myste rious and awe inspiring stute called un consciousness. This lusts for a variable period and then the mind gradually re sumes its supremacy, the patient coining again into possession of bis suspended faculties, like one raised from the dead rather than like one aroused from slum ber. In its essence the act of fainting is merely a symptom of amrmiu of the brain, with which is associated u great ly weakened action of the heart, both dependent uimhi some usually disagree able impressiou from without, such as the sight of blood, an unpleasant or very powerful odor, a sudden fright, pain, oppressive heat of the atmosphere, the receipt of bad news, less often a great and sudden joy, and the like. Young women, people in delicate health, the nervous and sufferers from beart disease are more prone to syncope than others, yet fainting may oocnr in the strongest men from the effect of slight causes. Were it not so familiar a sight a per son in a faint would All the bystanders with terror, so closely does the condi tion simulate death, but fortunately the state is one nsnally of short duration.

Kdain, in Holland, where the Dutoh cheese comes from, has a museum of local antiquities, and among the not least interesting of the exhibits are the accounts of the mnnicipul executioners during the eighteenth century, says the Loudon Chi 'niole. One of these func tionaries. bj iiunie Vogel, presents a de tailed bill da . d Dec. 19, 1718, in which be sets forth a claim for 6 florins for one decapitation uud 8 florins eaob fora sword ami winding sheet, with 8 florins 14 cents for a coffin for the decapitated one. His charge for hanging a criminal was also 6 florins, with the further ad dition of 8 florins for “cutting down and impaling ditto.” “Breaking a man ou the wheel" was a costlier luxury and ran to 9 florins, while for “supply ing nine new lashes for scourge” the charge was 37 florins. On the whole, however, Mr. Vogel was a moderate man in his charges or the value of human life went up a good deal in the next M> years, for in the no less oircum stun tial accounts of Johannes Ka, presented Aug. 1, 1764, we have a charge of 13 florins for “going on board the Hans and preparing instruments of torture, “with a like charge for “tor turing one person. ” But this must have been Tor the lesser torture only, as on Aug. oO the saute Johannes sends in a bill for “torturing three persons at 76 florins a head"—total, 335 florins, while a few days later no less than 600 florins is charged for "hanging four persons at 160 florins each, "and for “flogging two persons and burning a third" be exaots 150 florins. Clearly considerations of economy, if not of Im munity, must have tended toward the reform of the criminal code in Holland.
