And we may be sure that, four hours later, the shrill note of the bosun's pipe that summons him to dinner, falls like music on his ears, for if ever 8 man has right and appetite for a good square meal it is "Jack" at "eight bells." There is no laggard in the: joint rush, at the -bidding of the pipe, to the cook's galley, from which rise 1 mingled odors of baked 'meats, vege- tables, and the succulent "duffs," so dear to Jack's heapt. Tt-is no Syba- rite's meal that Awaits these hun. dreds of hungry sailors--it may be salt pOPic- with" pea-soup, op) salt beel and pudding, or liberal gortions of preserved beef or muttgd, familiarly known as "Fanny Adams," with pota- toes or rice on altérnate days. But whatever it is, it 4s good and plenti- ful, and does no require the sauce of hunger to,/make it appetising. Nop is, the meal prepared by any cunfiing chef. Every member of every Mwar deck mess takes his turn to cook though Je may know as little of cooklgg, «5 of quadratics, and the results mdy at times be more startl- ing than agreeable. It is the duty of the day's cook to get the provisions for his mess from the issuing room, where ship's stewards officiate; and, after manufacturing the meal from his raw materials, to carry it to the ship's cook for its final stages, which no doubt do much to remedy the in- expert work of the Mmess-cook. At "one bell" (half-past twelve) the bugle-call, known and beloved as "Nancy Dawson," rallies the forces to the grog-tub for the daily distribution of ram; a ceremonial€as popular in the time of Nelson as in our own. The day's allowance of grog is mixed with sérapulous care in an enormous tub which bears on its bulgy side, in large brass letters, some such loyal words as "The King, God bless him."' Three parts of water to one of rum go to the mixing, 'and the grog is served out by a petty officer and the marine sergeant of the guard to the waiting queue of mess-cooks --. as many hall-pints to each as there are men awaiting them in his mess. Every tar above the age of eighteen is entitle to his half-pint: and those who have no taste for it are allowed to draw money instead at the rate of 31-2 cents every two days. His dinner, his grog, and his, pipe serve to pass an hour and a quarter very agreeably for our sailor, and oc. casionally it furnishes him with an opportunity to make a few cheap addi- tions to his wardrobe, for the dinner hour is found a convenient time for disposing 'by auction of the effects of men who have deserted or are dead, and it is often possible to pick up a white duck-tunic or -other article of raiment for a very "small fraction of ils cost. At 1.15 Jack is ready, at the bugle- call, to resume work--cleaning guns, or whatever it may be, but on Sun- days and Thursdays he is indulged with an "afternoon off." 'This is Jack's opportunity for doing a little tailor's work op his own account, and he spends many a happy afternoon, pipe in mouth, on the upper deck "making and mending clothes," with a skill. the slop-shop worker might well envy ; for Jack is noted for his clever needle-work. But the needle has no monopoly of Thursday afternoens. This is the time also sacred to the rites of the "seran- bag." with its mysterious contents. A warship, as-we all know, must be kept as spick and span as the sittin room of the most careful housewife. 1 Jack carelessly leaves any of his pro- perty about--as, of course, he often does--~from a tunic and a towel to a book or & pound of tobacco, the hand of the ship's corporal pounces on it, and in it goes into the capacious can- vas-bag, there to be imprisoned until the hour of liberation comes. Every Thursday afternoon the bag, full of its miscellaneous booty, is opened, and each article is ¢laimed by one or other of the sailors crowding around, its owner being allowed to redeem his property by the payment of a penny fine--the price of an inch of yellow soap--for every derelict article that is his, But Jack is not only a skillful eedieman, he is also an accomplished "washerman," as he proves on the evenings which he spends periodical ly, with his arms in the soa ; restoring his clothes to a vinginal whiteness, and if he is a good ler 0 a deft wielder of the razor he can pul many an extra pound into his ket by operating on his fellows' ag chins. . - , There are a good many preachers who never think of preaching in a way that will help to bruise the ser pent's head.

Thwarted at one point by the dense joliage, it seeks the line of least re- lance, some times creeping { the sun. The consequence is that many 'aquatorial forests are a tangled net- work of stout ropeslike creepers which lattice adjoining trees, and form great loops and natural bridges. In the region of 'the Cameroons in West Africa, also in Western Uganda, Congo, the Liana is represented by various kinds of Landolphias, a genus of rubber-bearing trees or shrubs, rubber derived from Africa. These rubber "vines" climb over the big trees, sometimes to a height of 200 feet above the ground, hanging ocea- sionally in great loops like enormous cables. The flowers of -these Landolphins are deliciously scentéd. They are white, with a golden centre, and not unlike in shape the flowers of the periwinkle. The foliage is a glossy dark green, and the large fruits which they bear are brightly colored. The rubber is a sticky sap, which flows from the lining between. the outer bark and the inner core of woody iber. To obtain thg valuable pro. duct, the natives cut the Lianas up in sections, strip off the bark and boil it until the whole of the viscid sap is extracted. -------------- Muscular Labor M.P.
