A How Jack Tars Are Encouraged : to Be Thrifty. : That Jack is not unthrifty is evident from the fact that at the present time £390,000 stands to. the eredit of 30,000 depositors in the ship rd and mar- ine banks. As a rule 'sailors in the- navy prefer to deposit their mgney in the ship's bank, which is managed by the paymaster, and which pays" mterest at the- rate of 334 per cent, while in the other banks the usual 274 per cent. only is allowed. : : Another advantage which the ship's bank 'has over the dockyard bank is that while on foreign service money caf be withdrawn with little trouble b: 1, however, "a sailor has deposited all his savings in the dockyard bank and wishes to draw out while serving abroad he usually has to wait about 'three weeks before an order to pay is received from the cashier of the dockyard, ° Jack's savings are derived from a variety of sources. Wher on a three or four years' commission he usually man- ages to have reater part of his pay, for there are mot a great many oppor- tunities afforded. him when on foreign service, of spending money. Moreover, if he does not mind working in his spare: time there dre Several ways in which he can augment his pay to a con- siderable extent. Before certain new regulations eame into force a year or so,ago which com- sel the sailor to buy. his'clothes ready- nade from the paymaster it was no un- sommon thing for Jack to earn £4 or ts per month extra by 'tailoring. A sailor, of course, has, to provide his ywn clothes, and a suit consisting of- rousers and jumper (loose jacket) ob- jained from the 'Paymaster. will cost im about half a guinea, He is obliged, 1owever, to take the wearest fit, and as his .was- not always te, his liking he nuch preferred to buy ' the material, vhich cost him 3d. a yard, and make the lothes himself, or, if he was not handy vith. the needle or scissors, get a mess- nate to make them for him. i. The latter usually charged 5s. for naking a pair of trousers and a jump- sr. the work being done with a hand ewing machine. Some sailors stitched heir own clothes, by hand, but this be- ng a rather long' task Jack usually 'ound the purchase of a sewing machine 1 good investmént, for with its aid he vas sometime sight suits in a week. But now, of ped. Even more profitable at times, how- wer, is laundry work. Twopence per irticle, big or' little, bar blankets, for vhich sixpence is charged, is the price vhich Jack has to pay for his' washing f he does not do it himself: On an werage a~sailor's washing costs him bout one shilling a weekgand as one nan will sometimes wash 'fpr thirty or 'orty of his shipmates hef-more than loubles and in some cas¢s trebles his ray. 1 The money is well caned, however, The washing and ironing \of the clothes § no small task and ta io, care of the irticles while they are [drythg is some- imes a harder joh still, There aic al- vays mischievous souls gboard ready to 'ut down the line on Ahich the clothes nay be hanging for of joke, necessitating \ double washing, while, if the laundry- nan does not keep his eyes open some »f the articles. lay be missining, in vhich cise he ha¥'to replace them. And, s one "Ship's lauhdtyman significantly 'emarked to thie Writer recently, when mn article has been down in the stoke- old for a day of two it js scarcely wecognizable. Barbering is a profitable business boatd, and many a sailor earns from +08. to 185. a week by shaving his ship- nates fora permy 'or cutting their hair 'or twopence. Then, again, Jack is a handy man' whefitit' comes to making 'ancy articles, such as woollen shawls, shoto frames, models, ete. Generally, owever, he gives most of these away o his relatives and friends, although ie sells them now and again to his shinmates, or visitogs who come aboard. Although money lending is strictly wrohibited or hoard his majesty's shins, t is, nevertheless, somewhat extensive- v practiced in secret. « Interest is usual- y charged at the rate of 20 per cent. + month, so that if Jack wants to bor- ow, a sovereign from the "professional" noneylender on his ship he pays 24s. for t. Perhaps at the end'of that time he s unable to pav back the loan; in which ase, of course, he pays 4s. interest. In- tances have been known of 'sailors yaying the interest on a sovereign for welve months, and, of course, they still ywed the pound at the end of that time, though they had paid 48s. for the loan f 20s. } Another reprehensible * practice in vhich some sailors indulge is that of outing for bookies. Betting on hotse- aces is becoming very common inthe wavy, in spite. of the attempts of the withorities to 'stop it. A bookie will vay a sailor 20 and sometimes 30 ner ent. commission for all bets received board. Not only, however, does he ave to run the risk of being severly yunished if found out, but the mess to vhich the tout belongs may turn against him, for, if discovered, he brings dis- 'redit on the whole mess, who are sus- vected of aiding and abetting. He Could, Too. _ When Sir William Gilbert was 27 and 'was known to the world as a promising writer, his father, who was a retired naval surgeon, wrote a semi-metaphysi- -al, wemi-medical book, entitled "Shir- ley Hall Asylum," his first book. Not long ago Edith 'A.
