laoh Man, With His Feet and Legs
Bare, Sorubs His Own Cloth and
Qets Them Ready For Inspection.
"Jimmy Legs" and the "Lueky Bag."
nave you ever noticed bow clean and
well dressed a sailor lad looks when
on shore leave, bow white bta clothe
look when you board the ship on 'visiting-
days? lint did you ever realize
that be was hits own washerman?
With a shrill blast of hla s.iver whis
tle the chief boatswain's mate will
pipe, "Scrub and wash clothes!" and
every man hurries to bis bucket, got
bis soiled clothes, salt water soup,
draws a bucket of briny or fresh wn
tsr, as tbe case may be, and begins bis
washing.
He la generally barefooted at this
time, so that be will not wet bis aboes
and stockings. lie wears bis trousers
very bell shaped at tbe bottom in order
that he may roll them up over tbe
knee.
After acrubblag and rubbing hla
clothes until clean he turns them In
side out and with 'stops" proceeds to
get them ready for hanging up, These
stops are short pieces of twine, twisted
and with whipped ends, that be usee
in lieu of clothespins, They are fas
tened la eyelets placed at the side
seems and bottom of his shirts and tbe
waistband of his trousers. He turns
all his washed clothes Inside out to
prevent the right side getting soiled..
They are then hung on a line which,
ays the Touth's Companion, is ran
from the bow to tbe topmast or upper
top of a fighting mast The well in
formed man now usually puts bis
clothes to soak the ntgbt before In a
backet half full of water Into which
he baa either sprinkled a handful of
aoap powder or a email piece of salt
water aoap. in the morning a little
rubbing and his clothes are clean and
bung up, while the "landlubber" has
Just begun.
When they have been thoroughly
dried, the chief boatswain again pipes,
"Scrub and wash clothes!" and every
man rushes for the clothesline to
claim his own. If be falls to secure
tbom within a reasonable time, tho
master at anna, or "Jimmy Legs,"
takes them down, and they go Into tbe
'lucky bag." Then the only recourse
tbe unlucky owner bas is to go to tbe
mast, or the "stick," as the court on
board ship is commonly called, and pe
tition the "Unit luff," or executive offi
cer, to order them released.
As a rule, Jimmy Legs, who bag
charge of tho cleanliness of the decks,
always has extra cleaning, painting
and so forth In mind, and the man
whoso clothes get Into tbo lucky brig
receives so many hours' extra duty as
a gentle ren: tinier to 1e mora careful
In tho future. Ills nsme goes on Jim
my Legs' time book, and when there
Is sny extra labor to be performed be
Is called upon to attaint
This Is usually tho lot of tbe "lands
man" who bas not been aboard long
enough to "learu the ropes."
After they are taken from the line
the stops are taken out and the clothes
rolled In such a manner that they need
no Ironing. These rolls are then tied
at oach end with the stopa and are
stowed away In the clothes bag. In
this way all his clothes, both blue and
white, are kept clean, and when Sun
day morning comes and there Is gen
eral inspection on the quarter deck be
has no fear of being reprimanded for
having on a soiled uniform.
The hardest things of a sailor's outfit
to wash are his blanket and hammock.
Tho hammock forma part of bis equip
ment but belongs to the ship. lie la,
however, required to keep it clean.
Ills mattress and blanket are laahed
Into tho hammock and stowed In the
nettings or crates provided for that
purpose.- '
Every day a couple or more men are
detailed to Btow them away and at
night to break them out It Is this
handling so much that gets them fear
fully dirty, especially whllo a ship is
coaling. When washing hla hammock,
n sailor lays it fiat on the deck and
uses a wire brush to get it clean, with
the assistance of soap and lots of "el
bow grease."
; In visiting a foreign port and before
tbe ship bas come to anchor it will be
surrounded by "bumboats," generally
bringing out washerwomen, who are
usually negrcsses and who clamor for
any work in the laundry line. They
do good work and charge very' little
for it They always show their refer
ences from tho last ship and always
want a new ono to add to their already
long list. ' ,
II; is in wet and stormy weather that
the sailor has his own troubles trying
to dry his clothes. Round tbe uptakes
of the smokestack there Is a drying
loom In which clothes may be hung,
but as they grow yellowish when hung
there often this room is used as little
as possible. , In the newer men-of-war
there are installed washing and drying
machines which greatly facilitate the
laundry work, making it Inexcusable
for a snllor to have soiled clothes.
This machine, which dries clothes by
centrifugal motion, does the work rap
idly and well.
These machines, which are being
addod to all tbe new ships, will in
time do away with all band work. Tbe

clothes strung from bow to masthead

DID LEE EXPECT DEFEAT?
The Cantral's Significant Statement
After Sailors Creek.
My last oltlclnl Intercourse with Gen
eral Lee was on tbo rutn-nt I wa.i
sent to him with dispatches from Pres
ident Davis and reached him near mid
night of April 0 near Ulce's station. I
approached without being challenged
by a single sentinel and found hint
standing near a smoldering fire with
ono of his IuiuiIb resting on an am
bulance wheel, lie was dictating some
order to Colonel Marshall, who sat In
tho ambulance with a lap desk receiv
ing his dictation. As General Lee
spoke ho gawd Into tbe bed of couIh
as if weighing every word. There was
no staff or escort about so far as 1
could see. Touching Sailors Creek, be
spoke bitterly and said In answer to
Mr. Davis' desire to know his proposed
line of retreat that it was beyond hi."
control; that be bad Intended to re
treat by the line of the Danvlllo road,
but had been forced off that route by
the arrival of Sheridan ahead of him
at Burkvlllc; that be was tbon follow
lug the Hue of the Southsldo road to
Lynchburg, but tho enemy was out
marching him and might force him olT;
that his movements were dependent
on the developments of each hour, aud
then ho added: "llow can I tell? A
few more Sailors Creeks and It will all
be over just whero I thought It would
end from tho beginning." When I first
published this statement Its truthful
ness was questioned. Fortunately 1
aftorward saw two of his staff, both
of whom said they bad beard blm ex
press himself In the same way. There
may have been times when General
Lee, elated by somo of his surprising
successes, folt hopeful about the tri
umph of our cause. From tho proba
bilities based on numbers and resources
bis Judgment may have been warped
away now aud then by the feeling he
expressed when, nftof Second Manas
sas, Sharpsburg, Fredericksburg and
Chancellorsvllle, he said, "No general
ever commanded such troops as those
under mo." But his mind was too
mathematical In its workings, and all
Its calculations were too habitually
based upon what could be done with
a given number of men and n certain
amount of material to make blm forgot
the vast disparity between tbe contest
ants or hope for ultimate trluraph.

A WITTY JUDGE.
His Conclusions c-rt the Evidence ef
Ditto' and True.
The late lion. Noah Davis, well
known throughout tbe country as the
Judge who tried and sentenced Boss
Tweed, was Justly celebrated in many
ways. He was of that type of Jurist
for which western New York was
famed during tbe half century follow
ing 1850. Orleans county is proud of
him as ono of her noblest and most dis
tinguished sons. lie was slightly
above medium height full habited,
largo head, fine, clean cut face Indeed,
a striking figure In any community. lie
was a well read lawyer, an honest
fair minded Judge, with a keen sense
of humor and withal something of a
writer and poet Tbe following lines
from his pen, written on the spur of
tbo moment and in the midst of a trial,
Illustrate the alertness and quality of
bis mind. They are perhaps the best
play upon words of which we have any
record In tbe English language.
It was at the Niagara circuit In the
early seventies. Judge Davis presided.
An action in ejectment was called.
The dispute was over a party wall or
a division Hue. It was purely a ques
tion for the civil engineer. The divi
sion line established aud the case was
won. The defendant's attorney, realis
ing this, called as expert witnesses the
non. John A. Ditto, city engineer of
Buffalo, and tbe lion. A. R. True, the
engineer who constructed the cants
lever bridge over Niagara river at the
falls. They were two of the most emi
nent civil engineers In the state. They
made a survey of the premises and es
tablished the division line as contended
for by the defendant and when called
to the witness stand so testified, giving
monuments, courses and distances with
such minute exactness that they could
not be successfully controverted. The
moment True, who followed Ditto as a
witness, left the stand, Judge Davis
wrote these lines and passed them to
the clerk to band to plaintiff's counsel:
Since True swears ditto to Ditto,
And Ditto swears ditto to True,
If True be true and Ditto be ditto,
I think they're too many for you.
Daniel II. McMillan In Buffalo Truth.
Man and His Sweet Tooth.
"If you want to have that tradition
upset about women only having a
sweet tooth," remarked the stenogra
pher who works downtown, "Just go
into a quick lunch room occasionally
and watch the men who drink coffee
or chocolate with their midday meals.
I give you my word I have seen not
one, but many men, put six lumps of
sugar into their one cup of coffee or
chocolate and then eat apple pie that
Is fairly covered with powdered sugar."
