The jolly jack tar of the British and
American ship is a hard worker at sea.
In these days merchant vessels, as an
old salt in the United States shipping
office remarked to a New York Graphic
man, “carry no more cats than can
catch rats.” Ships go to sea with just
enough oi a crew to enable them to
manage the vessel and in had weather
they have a bad time of it. When the
ship is weathering Cape Stiff as the
boys term the Horn, Jack does not
spare himself, but pulls out the weather
earring with frozen and benumbed
hands, as he glances into the vast con-
cavity of blue and icy water below him.
He does not object to trim cargo when
it shifts, or to go aloft to secure a main
top royal when the wind is singing a
death rattle through the standing rig-
ging, when the foot-rope is running
slack through the stirrups and the reef
points are stiff as iron rods. But he
most decidely objects to receive or dis-
charge cargo in port. That he consid-
ers the duty of’longshoremen employed
by tho stevedores. ’Longshoremen are
many here in New York. Two years
ago they were very prominent in the
Knights of Labor, but since they inaug-
urated a strike against the Dominion
line a few years ago they have not been
the objects of much newspaper atten-
tion. They are line, manly, able fel-
lows, and if they do hang around the
saloons on the “slips” and all over
South street it is because their work is
of an intermittent nature, and not be-
cause of any desire to idle away their
time.
The ’longshoremen whose business it
is to load and unload ships must be
within the reach of the stevedore from
daylight to dark, and so down on South
street near the ferry and on Burling
and Coenties slips, where boss steve-
dores congregate, rooms are fitted up
for the men in rough sailor fashion,
where they- can sleep, drink and play
cards in their off hours.
About 20,000 men, all told, handle
the freight that comes into and leaves
the port of New York, and the wages
paid them yearly is estimated at over
$10,000,000. Every race is represented
except the Chinese among these work-
ers along the shore.
In New Yoi’k harbor there are, all
told, 300 stevedores, and many have
amassed great wealth. They are in
effect the agents of the consignees to
whom cargoes are brought, and like
s to present his Christmas agents for the “charter party,” the
legal maritime term for any person or
company chartering a vessel to convey
a cargo of goods from one port to an-
other. To illustrate: A vessel has
been chartered to convey a cargo from
New York to Liverpool. She is ready
for her cargo and her cargo ready for
her. The “charter party” calls for his
stevedore, as all large shippers usually
continuously employ the same man,
and contract with him to put their car-
go aboard. This does not mean that it
shall merely be put on the vessel’s deck.
It must he stowed away in the hold and
between decks in a proper manner for
an ucealT Voyage. ' These contracts are
based either on weight or measurement,
and often on both; and the cost of load-
ing a cargo of a 1,000-ton hark or a
great ocean steamer will vary from
$1,500 to $6,000. While tire vessel is
being loaded he is practically its mas-
ter. For while a ship’s captain may
suggest regarding stowage, he must
after all yield to tho arbitrary ruling of
the stevedore, who thus becomes the
responsible party for the good condi-
tion of the cargo on delivery at its
foreign port.
The stevedore usually has several
foremen in his employ. These are
’longshoremen who work either by the
hour, week or month, at an advance of
about one-third over the ordinary
workmen. When vessels are to be
loaded or unloaded these foremen start
out on the street and select with almost
unvarying impartiality their “gangs”
among the ’longshoremen always wait-
ing about the approaches to the docks,
frequently in most picturesque groups,
and then the liveliest of commotion be-
gins. The ’longshoremen working
force comprises a foreman at each ves-
sel, who has entire charge of the work
and who keeps the time of the men,
assistant foremen ip number propor-
tionate to the magnitude of the task,
“headers” and regular laborers.
“Headers” and assistant foremen re-
ceive five cents per hour extra.
If a vessel is loading and the steve-
dore is able to secure the cargo rapidly,
a large number of gangs are worked.
Usually one gang is employed at each
hatch and side-port, hut frequently, if
hurried, two are used. Then there is
the dock gang, who handle the freight
to the ship’s Side and see that it is
started right in its assent by the
“whip” to above the hatch for lower-
ing, and the gangs below who are load-
ing the cargo. These usually consist of
two men and a“header”on either side of
tho vessel. The header practically re-
ip resents the stevedore in the proper
stowing of the freight, and the “head-
ers” must be bright men, for on their
directions and care rests the possible
good condition of the cargo. The spots
where heavy and light materials must
be placed; arranging so that freights
likely to injure each other are kept sep-
arate; stowing so that the cargo shall
be borne at the vessel’s gavity, and that
she shall not roll and strain from great
dead weights in improper places; and
then that the craft’s utmost carrying
capacity shall be utilized; all must he
considered and met and adjusted; for a
badly placed cargo may “shift”
any moment in a storm and send a j>-
sel to the bottom. The rajsing and
lowering of the “whip's tackle is sig-
naled by the shrill call of an assistant
foreman’s whistle by the hatch, where
this man stands at the port side and
receives the packages coming in or go-
I lug out of the vessel and attends to
very wharves.
The stevedore business of the portoi
New York is now crowded into narrow
limits. For want of dock room some
of the big steamship companies have
been forced to the Jersey side, while
those on the New York shore are
crowded. Along the North river on
the east and north along the East river
shore the sailing craft of the world
mainly clusters, while the Brooklyn
shore for a little distance above the-
bridge is covered with docks and basins
extending for miles.
The ’longshoremen differ much from
sailors in one essential respect. They
are provident, and many of them have
quite a little pile in the savings banks.
Their work is hard, and the pay not
large, but quite a number of ’long-
shoremen, especially the Irish, manage
to marry and support a family in mod-
erate comfort. They are a peaceable
set, seldom figure in the police courts,
and not half as rough as their rough
calling would cause one to imagine.

—Washington Critic.
Diplomatic Romances.
Many diplomats have recently wedr
ded Americans, writes a correspondent
from Washington. A few years ago,
however, there was even a, greater
eagerness to wed American girls. One
Del Campo, of the Chilian Legation,
angled earnestly and widely for an
American girl with a fortune. He was
a rogue, and kept the city in an uproar
hv his sprees. After an unusually im-
passioned appeal to a Washington girl
he was recalled, and, returning by
way of Panama, he wrote a letter to'
her, purporting U> come from a Mend,
describing in vivid language an
account of the rejected Del Campo’s
death by the dread fever of the tropics.'
His obituary was done up by himself in
good shape. The girl was still lament-
ing her coldness to the sensative south-
erner when she heard from the Chilian
who took her lover’s place that thq
former attache of the Chilian Legation
was now attache of a horse-car in the
Chilian capital, y
Theoe modern romances of American
girls and foreign noblemen can no1J
match the alliance of forty years ago,
the marriage of the old Count de Bodis-t
co, the Russian minister, and Mis^
Harriet Williams, the Georgetown,
beauty. He was old and decrepit. Itj
was said that he wore “plumpers” in
his cheeks and dressed his poor, broken
old form so that he would look like a.
man of forty, after he saw the beautiful,
school-girl at her father’s house in
Georgetown. For she was a school-,
girl—only fourteen when he married;
her. He sent her to Europe to finish!
her education, and when she came back
she was said to be the most beautiful
woman in America. A magnificent,
fair woman, with golden hair and brown
eyes, was this young wife of the old
Count de Bodisco. After leaving here
her husband returned to Russia, and
she became the reigning belle of St.
Petersburg.
More pathetic than this story, for it
was surely pathetic for a girl of four-,
teen to marry a man of seventy, wag
the story of her sister, Miss Fanny
Williams. At the time Count de Bodis-
co was minister lie had with him as at-
taches two nephews of the same name,
whom in his last hours he acknowledg-
ed as his illegitimate sons. One of
these nephews loved the sister of his
incomparable aunt. The Count de
Bodisco claimed that the Russian law
forbade such an intermarriage, and the
two were seperated. She went to St.
Petersburg with her beautiful sister,
became engaged to a Russian nobleman,
and on the eve of her marriage was
found dead, with the ivory miniature of
her first lover in her hand. The tales
of the old days are best.
American children, whose Lilliput
levee is attended only by the fine young
lady doll from Paris, with her excess-
ively modern wardrobe, and by an oc-
casional solitary peasant doll of Nur-
ernburg extraction, or a very stiff Sand-
ford and Merton doll, with about one
hundredth part as much play in him as
sawdust, can hardly imagine the variety
and splendor of doll life in England a,t
Christmas time. Nowadays in London
even the old Twelfth Night figures of the
king, queen, and so on, which suggested
Thackeray’s romance of “The Rose and
the Ring,” and which we have, unfor-
tunately, never . had, are swamped
under the tide of costumed dolls. In
the London Queen there are some most
elaborate bints on doll-dressing, which
suggest the comprehensive extent of
this annual masquerade. More or less
complete directions are given for dress-
ing dolls as Queen Elizabeth, the Em-
press Josephine, Mines. Leclerc and
Bacciochi, who were typical ladies of
the Directoire; a Tunbridge Wells
belle of the eighteenth century, a
Chinese bride, an army hospital nurse
in uniform, an Elaine and Tyrolese
and Russian peasants. Gypsies, fairies,
royalties, courtiers, sweeps and Red
Riding Hoods are spoken of as every-
day figures. The London Truth has
instituted a yearly Christmas competi-
tive examination, to which the Fort-
nightly Review would find it difficult'
to object, of dressing dolls. After an
exhibition and award of prizes, the
dolls competing are distributed among
the hospitals, schools, infirmaries and
workhouses. A very pretty and practi-
cal lottery, which in effect sets numbers
of skillful needle-women busy prepar-
ing gorgeous presents for poor children
who otherwise would get none at all.
The Truth competition brings out
great ingenuity and historical research.
The show is quite bewildering in its
beauty and variety.
Here is a hint for Amerscan ladies
who are expert with their needles. To
say nothing of the appropi-iateness of
such presents for nieces and sisters
themselves would probably be very
willing to say something—a ready
market for such work could doubtless
be found through the toy shops and ex-
changes for women’s work. There is
of course no special reason why the
already ever-lucky children of to-day
should have an inci’ease of luxury in
their toys, hut there is an educational
side to the question, and it may be an-
ticipated that a young lady who grows
up among correctly costumed Joans of
Arc, Josephines, Queen Elizabeths
Zenobias will in her maturer years, if
she does not catch something of the
heroic mold of their minds from her
association with them, at least be able
to assume their dress with ease and ac-
curancy when fashion whirligigs back
to their epoch and apparel again.
Begn HydropnoMa.
There may be such a thing as hydro-
phobia, a ftpecifio disease caused by
the bite of a rabid dog, hut it is safe
to say that for every one death oaused
by any such disease there have been
half a dozen deaths from a strange
nervous disorder due to fear of hydro-
phobia. Undoubtedly it vrould have
been a saving of life if the doctors had
rejected the idea of hydrophobia.
During a few years more critical at-
tention has been paid to cases of al-
leged hydrophobia, and the result indi-
cates the greater frequency of a purely
neurotic disease than a disease from
a specific poison. The diagnosis of
hydrophobia seems simple enough; it
is not possible to mistake the disease
for anything else, but it is not possi-
ble to mistake the disease due to fear,
which simulates hydrophobia, for that
disease.

A Lover Worth Having,

was out the other day with his sweet-
heart horseback-riding, when her
horse became frightened and ran at
great speed. The young man spurred

both horses were running at break-
neck speed he caught her about the
waist and snatched her from immi-
Securing a Jury.
The length of time spent in fruitless
efforts to obtain a jury in the Cleary
case demonstrates conclusively * tlmt
our jury system, of not obtaining a jury,
is not conducive to the administration
of justice.
The slowness with which a jury can-
not be procured to try a New York
hoodie alderman, like the peace of
mind spoken of in the Bible, passes all
understanding. The snail, the messen-
ger boy, the Grant monument, and all
other non-progressive institutions must
take a hack seat when compared with
the lack of speed developed in the
selection of a jur||in New York.
The artist who mseeking for a still
life subject shoulcPtake a look at the
mode of excusing jurors in the trial of
Cleary. The opposing counsel appear
to be able to find something objection-
able, so to speak, in every juryman
that is examined.
They remind one of what the little
city girl said, when, on visiting her
uncle’s farm, she saw for the first time
a thrashing machine in operation: “O,
mamma!” she exclaimed, rushing into
the house all out of breath, “There is
something out in Uncle John’s barn
ivith two horses in it, and they keep
going and going and never get any-
where!”
Just so the lawyers keep on going
and going, hut they never get any-
where.
The principal objection to a prospect-
ive jury seems to be intelligence. The
amount of stolid ignorance requisite to
an acceptable juryman is something ab-
solutely appalling. He must not be a
crank, for he has a certain kind of per-
verted intelligence.
However, there is nothing like per-
severance. After months of delay a
jury is perhaps secured without having
to draw on the asylums for the feeble-
minded. The result is that juries ren-
der verdicts which cause the general
public to remark that justice ip this
world seems to be meted out in straw-
berry boxes, and that Justice herself is
not quite as blind as the man who goes
to law with the idea that he is sure to
have his wrongs righted.—Texas

Nine years ago Scrofula attacked two of my chil-
dren, and they were badly afflicted with that dis-
ease, which resided the treatment of my family
physician. I was persuaded to use Swift’s Specific
by seeing an account of cures in my county paper.

The Perfect Home.
The most perfect home I over saw
was a little house into the sweet in-
cense of whose fires went no costly
things. A thousand dollars served as
a year’s living for father, mother and
three children. But the mother was
the creator of a home; her relations
with the children were the most beau-
tiful I have ever seen. Every inmate
of the house involuntarily looked into
her face for the keynote of the day, and
it always rang clear. From the rose
bud, or clover leaf, which, in spite of
her hard housework, she always found
time to put beside our plates at break-
fast, down to the story she had in hand
to read in the evening, there was no
intermission of her influence. She has
always been and will always be my
ideal of a mother, wile and home-
paaker. If to her quick brain, loving
heart and exquisite face had been add-
ed the appliance of wealth and enlarge-
stopped S iuents of wide culture, hers would have
rs.b completa- J been absolutely the ideal home. As i
Philadelphia j was. it was tho best I have ever seen

A DELIGHTED YOUNG WOMAN.
Look at my face and my hands—not a pim-
ple,
Such as you saw there some time
ago.
See my fresh cheeks, and I’m getting a dim-
ple,
I don’t look at all like I used to, I
know.
i
I a3ked the delighted young woman what she referred to, and she answered,
Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It is the best beautifier in the world,
because it purifies and enriches the blood, and pure rich blood gives good heal h,
and good health—beauty.
Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery is guaranteed to cure all Blood,
Skin and Scalp Diseases, as Blotches, Eruptions, Salt-rheum, Tetter, Eczemb,
Erysipelas, Scrofulous Sores and Swellings, in short, all diseases caused by bad
blood, or money paid for it will be promptly refunded.
