NEW WARSHIPS 10 BE MANNED Life of a Sailor on a Man-of-War and His Pay. MOSTLY AMERICANS A MERICAN MEN-OF- war’s men have no distinctive title. They are variously termed “blue jackets,” “Jack tars” dnd “* jackles. The last is by far the most common name given the men who “plough the rag- ing main” on ships of war. It is a con- traction of the other two, and it applies alike to the sailors of all navies, A British sailor’ is a “Jackie.” So {s a French sailor, a German sailor, an American sailor and, in fact, the tars of all navies. The British soldisr has a distinctive name in “Tommy Atkins” that applies to him alone the world over, but the American soldier and the Ameri- can sailor have no such distinction in the matter of a popular appellation. Special attention 1s directed to the American naval sallor just at this time, because of the preparations of the Navy Department to enlist 1,000 men for that branch of the service. The recent rapid increase in the number of vessels of the navy, as a Star reporter was informed, has naturally necessitated an addition to the force of men to operate them. Secretary Herbert represented to the last Congress that 2,000 additional men were needed to meet the requirements of the service during the coming fiscal year, beginning on the 1st proximo. Congress found it expedient, however, to provide only for an increase of half that number. The total enlisted strength of the navy at White Jamper. present is 9,000 men. The authorized en- listments will swell this total to 10,000 dur- ing the coming year. The increase will undoubtedly be suf- ficient for the few months intervening be- fore the assembling of Congress, but will by no means, it is said, meet the require- ments of the service in the coming winter and spring, when one or more of the big battle ships will be ready for commission. In authorizing the enlistment of the ex- tra one thousand men Congress provided for their pay, but fatied to make provision for their rations and clothing. As a conse- quence Secretary Herbert has found it nec- essary to limit the immediate additional enlistment to 600 men. Food and clothing for that number can be provided for out of the general appropriation for the mainte- nance of the navy up to the time of the meeting of Congress, when an opportunity will be given to provide for the deficiency. These new men will be needed within the next few weeks for the manning of the second-class battle ships Texas and Maine and the gunnery practice ship Lancaster. The three vessels will be put into commis- sion about the ist of August, the Texas at Norfolk and the Maine and Lancaster at New York. The complement of these ves- sels will be about 125 in excess of the ad- ditional force of 600 men, but for that mat- ter nearly all of our’ war@hips are short of their complement. There are other vessels that will soon be ready for active sea service, including the tam Katahdin and the torpedo boat Erics- sen. 2 The cruisers Eoston and Marion, which have undergone extensive repairs at San Francisco, could be put in commission to- day if crews were available. Men for one or the other of these vessels may be ob- tained by putting the coast-defense vesse] Monterey, or some other ship on that sta- ticn, out of commission, but not otherwise. The first-class battle ships Indiana and Massachusetts,the finest ships in the navy, will probably be completed this winter. In case of an emergency the Secretary of the Navy would undoubtedly change his present orders limiting enlistments to 600, and add the entire 1,000 men authorized to the service as quickly as possible. Nothirg of this sort, however, is anticipated. Officials of the Navy Department say there will be no difficulty in getting the ad- ditional men, and that it will not even be necessary to advertise for them. The Blue Suit. classes of men wanted are seamen, lands- men, firemen and coal passers, and it is ex- pected that most of these wiil be recruited at New York. Enlistments will also be made at Philadelphia and Boston, if neces- sary. The men are needed mostly for rman- ning the batteries and for looking after the fires and machinery. New York city is the only place where recruiting goes on in_all ratings. Men, physically and otherwise qualified, who have served in the navy, are enlisted in the following ratings at the monthly pay designated: Seamen, $24; ordinary sea- men, $19; machinists, $70; first-class _fire- men, $35; second-class firemen, $50. When qualified and advanced to the ratings of petty officers, as vacancies occur, they re- ceive from $25 to $65 per month. Men twenty-one years of age or upward, physi- cally qualified, who have not served at sea, are enlisted in limited numbers as lands- men or coal heavers, and are paid $16 and $22 per month respectively. All enlistments are for a term of three years, Every enlisted man 1s allowed a com- mutation of rations at the rate of thirty cents a day. It 1s a matter of pride in the navy that there is no ration given by eny foreign nation that is equal to the ration of the United States navy, either in weight or nutritive qualities. “Although the Amer- ican sailor may be crainped !n his sleeping quarters, he has no fuse, it is asserted, to complain of his food, it is the best pos- sible under the circurtStances, and vastly superior to that of hfs: brethren in other navies, excepting noné!” Living room is very‘ Hmited on board modern warships. Evetything below decks is sacrificed to enginés, boilers and coal bunkers. Consequently ““jackies” are hud- dled together like sheep 'in a storm. Each man is allowed but fourteen inches room for his hammock, and, the hammocks are dcvetailed together frot beam to beam, so that the sleeping tars‘form a solid, com- pact mass, with hatifty room to swing even in a rolling sea. This is the greatest drawback to service 6h a modern man-of- war, and is a source’ of general complaint from the veteran who has experienced greater breathing space in the more spa- cious wooden frigates, of bygone days. With thfs exception, ‘the lot of the mod- ern tar is much easier in every respect than in the olden days of sailing ships. He is now better fed and better cared for. The discipline is not 80 Severe and exact- ing, and he is afforded better protection against tyranny and oppression on the part of the officers. Their general nature, however, has not undergone any material change since the days of Cooper and Mary- att. They are a jolly, happy-go-lucky set, always ready for a lark or a fight, with an abnormal fondness for grog, and are chronic grumblers over imaginary ills. Nevertheless, it is said, they are stanch and true, and patriotic to the last breath, and will never go back on their country or a friend in distress. = ‘The best ratings open to “Jackies” are boatswains and gunners. These places pay from $1,200 to $1,800 a year. They are open to any sailor who has served more than one enlistment in the navy, and who shows special aptitude for promotion. All ap- pointments as warrant officers are based on the record of the applicants. There are several vacancies in, the list of boatswains at present, but none in the list of gunners. Warrant ‘officers are retired on three- quarters pay. Petty officers are pensioned on half pay if physically incapacitated for e ent. revery body is acquainted with the familiar’ loose blue uniform of the jack tar, and those who have seen him on shipboard in the tropics will recognize his counterfeit presentment in the well-known white “jumpers” of the service. : Recruiting is slack just at present, but it 1s expected to pick up in the fall. The ex- planation of this {s that most of the avail- able men are engaged on pleasure yachts for the summer. The improved financial condition of the country is also given as a reason for the present falling off in en- listments. ‘There is a popular impression that the rank and file of the navy is composed of aliens, who have no patriotic affiliation with this country or its institutions. That this is erroneous is demonstrated by the last census of the navy, which shows that nearly 70 per cent of the entire enlisted force Is composed of citizens of the United States, either by birth or naturalization. The other 30 per cent is made up of aliens, the majority of whom are Scandinavians, Englishmen and Irishmen. There are many Chinese and Japanese in the navy, but they are employed almost exclusively in the mess rooms. Negroes are numerous, but they, too, are mostly mess attendants. —————— QUARTER-ACRE FARMING. Some of the Phases of This Method of Helping the Poor. From the New York Times, The quarter-acre farms managed by the Society for Improving the Condition of the Poor are a great place for children, and the society does a good open-air work there, as well as by its regular excursions. A little boy of thirteen was watering the crops of the family farm with a big water- ing pot yesterday morning. His mother was coming out in the afternoon, with the children—six of them, all under twelve— he said. # Another of the sotiety’s farmer proteges has already sold $53 worth of produce —onions, radishes and lettuce, his wife ped- dling everything he cag rai: He is a farmer by profession, and managed his crops so that they matured one after an- other in succession, 2 J. W. Kjelgaard, the superintendent three assistants. It is estimated that by working twelve days of twenty-four hours each a season’s crops can be raised. The men, -yomen ard children who work the farms come at all hours of the day, from 4 o’elock in the morning, and remain as late at night as they can see. 5 The ground is plowed, in the first place, for all of them, and, further than that, if necessary, they are assisted vith fertilizer, seeds and tools. Most of the farm workers are head of families out of work or with only ecca- sional work to do. The results have been very satisfactory so far to the people interested in the ex- periment. Only one of the farmers has failed to take care of his crops. Some of the produce is said to be even better than that raised by the regular Long Island farmer. The co-operative division of the farms is a valuable adjunct to the work. It is in charge of the society, and men who have their own farms are permitted to work upon it at a certain sum per hour. With this money they are able to support them- selves until their crop returns 2re received. The society has not had the money to take on all the men who would like to work on the co-operative farm. Conse- quently, some of them come to work on their own plots withott breakfast, and leave without having had dinner. Since the crops have begun to appear the application by would-be farmers for land has been made at the rate of some- times twenty a day. One thing that the society would lke now is to make arrangements with large establishments or hotels to take their fresh vegetables to be delivered at segular mar- ket rates, and thus bring quick returns to the workers. a practical farmer, ts of the work.

Some time ago the proprietor of a travel- ing wild beast menagerie well known in Italy quarreled with his wife, and the pair separated. The wife soon afterward went into business on her own account in the wild, beast sind. Last week the hus- band’s menagerie arrived in Bologna, and it was followed two days later by that of his wife. The husband was equal to the oceasion. He had the walls of the town placarded with the following ambiguous announcement: “In consequence of the ar- rival of my wife in this town my stock of wild beasts has been increased.” a An Elopement Postponed.

Some Practical Suggestions for Those Who Desire to Picture Nature. Now that the suitable season is fairly here, sketching parties and outdoor classes are being organized The readers of The Star who are without experience in the art of sketching and have not the good fortune to be under the watchful eye of some mas- ter while endeavoring to transfer the beau- ties of nature to paper may find the follow- ing hints of some assistance: If one be a novice the first f2w skctches should be made in pencil or- charcoal, so that the student may become familiar with the principles of composition, proportion and light and shade without the complica- tions of color. A sketch book cr pad, con- sisting of slightly rough paper, a rather soft pencil, a rubber and an ordinary camp stool (the whole outtit to cost about G0 cents) are all that is necessary in the way of materials. From the center of a card or small piece of paper cur an oblong, as in the illustration. Holding the frame thus made a short distance from the face and looking through the opening with one eye closed select that portion of the scene which you wish to sketch. The simpler the subject the better, Take the corner cf a fence with bushes and an old tree; a group of rocks reflected in the water; a rowboat drawn up on the sand with an old log washed ashore; a little cabin with its surroundings, or an old dump cart under a tree are all good studies. Sketch lightly the outiiue as.you would any still life or group of cb- jects in a room. In doing so a certain amount of taste should be exercised, leav- ing out any object which would prove un- pleasing or crowd the picture too much. The main object or sroup must not be placed directly in the center of the paper, but a little to one side. Lines perpendicu- lar in reality will be drawn perpendicular, and for determining the slant of all other lines a simple method will prove effective. Closing one eye, nold the pencil horizontal- ly at arm’s length, so that one end of it appears to touch one end of the line to be drawn. Note the angle that the desired line makes with the pen: Then mark the horizontal line corresponding to pencil on the paper and draw the line, making the same angle as found. If the line be nearer @ perpendicular than a horizontal, hold the pencil perpendicularly and note angle same way. Where the sketch ‘s te consist of one prominent group, begin with that at once and regard the distance simply as a background. If it consist of a long stretch of ground with perhaps a path and tree or bush, place the horizon line lightly and then the objects, the horizon being not too low. Look through the half- closed eyes and get a general idea of the light and shade of the whole scene. De- termine at once which 1s the very darkest spot in your picture and shade this first, making it as dark as possible. This will serve as a guide to the other darks, which, however dark they may seem, will not rival the darkest. Note also the lightest spot and indicate this with a dot to strengthen your memory, which will surely be short. Begin with the distance to shade, so that the hand will not rub the drawing, and come down to the nearest objects. The greater the distance the tainter should be the strokes, gradually getting darker and more decided as the foreground is reached. In making foliage, indicate the large dark places and the large light places, ob- serving the shapes of these masses closely and filling them in with short strokes. Do not, under any circumstances, try to indicate each leaf, even though the trees be near. Keep the dark masses distinct as possible from the lignt masses, and your sketch will be clear and strong. Let your strokes be at all times somewhat uniform and their direction be such as will best Suggest the object. Experiment on the margin of the paper as to the best method of shading. A common rule is to follow the form with the strokes, but this methed cannot always be followed to best ad- vantage. ee The Irrepressible. From an Exchange.
