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<ean traveler* sel
dom forget the surgeon wbiu necessity
makes them calk for bu am otion dur

FAINTING.
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.
The patient should be placed Aat on
the back, with no pillow or support un
der the head. Those not In immediate
attendance should keep at a distance,
and fresh air should be admitted freely.
The clothing should be loosened about
the neck and the waist, the face should

cold water ou the face and chest. The
bare chest and arms may also be slapped
with a wet towel. Smelling salts may
be held cautiously under the nose or a

COSTLY EXECUTIONS.
Bills For Killing Criminals That Ware
Foroiarl? I'alil In Holland.
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.
