Her steel walls, | bristling with guns, shelter a small army of men.

The ra- ons are purchased by the navy depart- ud comprise such vies as hard bread, cornmeal, catmeal, hominy, alt pork, be peas, rice, pre- ecrved meats, butter, coffee and tea. Lvery man in the navy, from the last boy shipped up to the adwiral, hasan allowance of 30 cents a_day for rations which I y draw cither in food orin money. The paymaster of the ship has | charge of all the provisions, which are dealt out by his ‘‘yeoman,” who is in turn assisted by the Jack o' Dust. The person lust named attends to opening the barrels and packages. Coffee and sugar are served out once in ten days, flour every four days and meats duily While in port fresh provisions are fur- nished, each man receiving one pound of fresh bread, one and one-quarter pounds of fresh meat, and one pound of fresh vegelables per diem. These take the place of the ordinary ration, only tea and coffee being provided in addition The allowance is at all times so liberal that the enlisted men canuot possibly consume the whole of it, so they tak: part of it in cash, which they utilize in ways presently to be described. n cony t fa essible neces 15, s, isckeeping Aboard Ship, The methoedsof housekeeping on board of ashipof war are very interesting. Allof the officers and men are divided up into httle elubs, cach of which has its cook and manages its own affairs. These clubs are ealled “*messes.” The is the captain's mess, the wardroom mess, the junior ofticers’ mess, the war- rant officers’ mess, the petty officers’ mess and the men’s messes. lvery ofi cers’ mess has a catorer, who is e periodically from its own membership. Members are compelled by the naval regulations to serve in this capacity when ealied on, though no one can be obliged to hold the place more than two consccutive months, It is a post of re- sponsibility, the incumbent having to direct the purchase of provisions, to keep accounts and 10 pay all biils. Some men like the task and may retain it for a long time together. il the mess is pleased. The captain, because there is only one ot him, must cater for himself. He messes by himself in his cabin and eats in lonely state, save when he ehoos invite oflicers to dine with him. If th vessel is a flagship he may mess with the admiral or not, justas he chooses The admiral has his own cabin, course, The captuin has his own steward private cook, and two cabin boys. The admiral hus u like staff of servants, with | perhaps an extra boy. 1t must be under- | stood that the boys on a war vessel are enlisted men at lenst 21 years old. The wardroom mess has its own cook and steward. On the New York it com- prises twenty ofticers and has six boys in addition. "The juniors' mess on the same sel—embracing ensigns, midship- men, ¢ has a cook, steward and four boys. The warrant officers’ mess is com- posed of the sail maker, gunner, carpon- ter and boatswain: it has a cook, stewaed and one boy. The same provision of service is made for the master at arms s, including the petty officors of the first-class—namely, the mastor at - arms, quurtermaster, paymaster’s yeoman and apotheeary. The messes of the warrant officers and petty officers above men- tioned are conducted just like those of the higher officers, drawing their rations in the shape of money and buying their own provender. s to Messes of the Jackles, The men are divided up into messes of twelve usaally, ach such club elects its own caterer and chooses one of its members for cook, with the approval ¢ the exeeutive ofticer, The most impor tant requirement forthis calinary post is ability to make bread. Good bread- makers are in great demand for such positions on board ship, The mess cook receives from the wages equal to the money equivalent of from one to two Mions monthly—that is to say from $9.30 to $15.60 per month, This salary is 80 much in addition 1o his pay from 1 government and renders the office very desivabie. The incumbent draws ra tions from the master and prepares them for the table. But becauso the al lowance is greater than needed he takes only eight rations in food and the vemaining four in money. The cash thus obtained goes to form whal is called the mess fund, to which cach ally adds about monthly fund pays the cook and provides ail sorts of luxuries, such as sweets, ¢ densed milk und many other good thi that can be purchased when in port The messes are organizations military chavacter. All of them are under the direetion of the excentive ofti- cer of the ship.

There is a certain vigor and unholy activity about the fel- low, a kind of brass imitation of the golden resourcefulness he has seen abroad, which makes him the natural ringleader of the slower and more timid stay-at-home loafers, and he gathers them up and propels them along as force for confusion, waste and wrong, which no one knows how to stund up against.
