The Reckoning of Ships.

There are $50 degrees of longitude in
the entire circle of the earth. AS the
earth turns around on its axis in twenty
four hours, 1-24th of $50 degrees, which
equals fifteen degrees, corresponds to a
difference of one hour in time. Now, if
a ship is sailing eastward from London,
when it has reached point fifteen de-
grees east of that place the sun will come
to the noon line (or meridian) one hour
sooner than at London. When it is
thirty degrees east it will be noon on the
ship two hours earlier, at forty-fve de-
grees three hours earlier, and so on.
When a ship is sailing westward the
noon line is passed one hour later for
each fifteen degrees of longitude. Il
two ships meet at point $50 degrees
from London, the one sailing east and
the other sailing west, the one will have
gained and the other will have lost
twelve hours on London Time. The
rule of navigators is to drop out day
when ship crosses the 1s0th degree
meridian sailing westward (that is, the
1SOth degree from the observatory of
Greenwich, near London.) and to add a
day when they reach the same degree
sailing eastward. In this way the reck-
oning of ships sailing east and west
around the globe is made as nearly uni
form as possible. Ocean.

The devices for attracting and pleasing
customers in New York stores are various
and ingenious. In one store buffet has
been opened for free lunching. A neat
maid serves out tiny sandwiches, cakes
and coffee. She is an expert, however,
and puts the dainties where they will do
the most good to her employers. She
discriminates between little and big
buyers intuitively; she soon spots those
who bring their empty stomachs too often
to be filled, and especially is she kind to
the children of liberal purchasers. For
these youngsters she has special supply
of pastry, and with them she opens the
hearts and purses of the fond mothers.
Probably this luncheon counter does
not cost more than $25 day, and in
fuences more than enough business to
pay for itself.

The Wheeling (W. Va.) Register says
that the most noted hunter in the State.
west of Moorfeld is Gabriel Cooper, e
whose deeds have caused him to be known
by his neigh5ors as Dan'l Boone. Dan'l {;
keeps two dogs and brown mare, and
he knows every hog path and deer trail
in West Virginia. 1t is said that the
animals know Danl so well that when
they SEE him and his brown mare they
flee the country. What Danl Boones
cannot tell in the shape of hunting adj
venture is not worth hearing. Every
stream in Hampshire county has his traps
set along its banks. With his rusty
rifle he has brought down twenty-eight,
deer this season. One day Dan'l was
visiting his traps on Lost River. A mile
above where this river disappears IN the
earth is a bend where the stream IS broad
and deep. Dan'l keeps little feather
weight skif in the bend for his private
use. While sloshing up and down the
bank of the river he started big buck
with six prongs. The animal sprang
from cover into the water and headed for.
the opposite side. Dan1 leaped into his;
skiff, and few powerful strokes brought
him nearly alongside of the buck. His
purpose was to secure him alive, but,
when within ten feet of him the buck
turned about and swan for the boat.
The hunter, recognizing his peril; drew
his sheath knife and caught the creature
by the horn, as he made a vicious lunge
at the boat. Dan'l held on to the horn,
and the buck lunged and butted furious
ly. The hunter tried to get at its throat
and in the effort the skif upset, ana

ming from it the experienced woodsman

again, until he was forced to the surface

by the wounded beast were terrific. The
river was dyed with blood for twenty
feet al found where the combat ragged. As
the hunter poked his nose above the sur
face to get air the animal cut with its
horn long furrow in his side. 1t waa
the bucks last expiring effort. With
