Black Brunswickers in Prussian Uniforms

BLACK brunswickers in Prussian Uniforms
The last traces of independence in
the minor German states are being
obliterated. The distinguishing uni
form of the Black Brunswickers is to
be abolished and they will henceforth
wear the dress of the Prussian line.
The sable garb and skull and cross
bones emblems were adopted to show
the intense desire OF the Brunswickers
to avenge the death OF the father of
'Brunswick's fated chieftain,' and
English papers are cruel enough to
revive the story that at Waterloo, the
first field upon which they had an OPP
portunity to display their ferocity. they
were only remarkable for the celebrity
and unanimity with which they Quilted
the field at the first onset OF the French
dragons.

An Object lesson,

A doctor Prescribing or a baby was
sadly vexed Ivy the officiousness OF the
child's feminine relatives, who tried all
sorts of home remedies for it, saying in
apology:
eve thought il they did no good they
would do no harm, doctor"
At the end OF his patience the doctor
one morning called for bowl, spoon
and some fresh butter, and began stir
ring the latter round aud round with an
mir OF grave importance. The ladies
gathered about him inquisiiively, but
he gave them no attention until, ct last,
curiosity becoming rampant, they cried
In chorus:
''Oh, doctor, do tell MS what you are
going to do with the butter?"
Here was his chance. Facing them
solemnly, he said: II nm going to
grease the baby's elbow with it. It
may not do any good, bnt it won't do

Fishing With a Rife.

Surf shooting, says Forest and Stream,
is practiced in Oregon and Washington
Territory, but chiefly in the vicinity of
and to the north of Gray's Harbor. For
merly all the shooting was done from the
beach, or from the bluffs, but as the
otter became scarcer, increasingly wary,
and so more difficult to obtain, other
methods had to be adopted.
Tue sea otter shooters of this coast de-
ylsed the plan of building scaffolds in the
water out beyond the surf from which to
shoot. A the lowest tides in the spring
they plant firmly in the sand three or
four long poles SO that they shall form
the angles of a triangle or of o square.
These are braced by means of Stats nailed
from one to the other, which also form a
ladder by which to ascend, and ut the
top of the poles a platform is built with
sides and a roof, forming q sufficiently
comfortable house, forty feet above the
waters surface. These shooting scafolds,
Or, as they are called locally, ''derricks,"
, give the otter shooter great advantage.
In distance he Gains 400 to 500 feet,
while the elevation above the water
greatly extends both his ralge of view
and that of his rife. In fair weather
the shooter goes to his "derrick" before
daylight in the morning and returns at
night to the shore, but sometimes, when
the tide is high and q heavy surf is roll
ing, it may be impossible for him to get
to it for a week at a time, or he may be
unable to reach the beach for the same
period.
The skill attained by these men in
rifle shooting is something almost be-
yond belief. 1t will be readily under
stood that the head of the sea otter
the only part that is seen above the
,yatcr-is q very small mark, certainly
rot more than three or four inches in
aameter, and yet it is said these shoot
ars not unfrequently kill at a distance of
1oop yards. Most of their shots are
Nd at 200 yards and over. They use
haar, Sharp's rifles, fitted with tele-
soon;c sights, and shoot always from a
rest.

ready to plunge it into the fish as he broke
water. The steward was standing neal
the foremost.
"Get aft, get att" roared the skipper,
$50 that you can give it to him good"
NAft went the steward. He stood with
raised lance The huge fish neared the
boat. His great eye was upturned. He
Seemed to sense the gravity of the situa.
ton in an instant. AS the steward was
about to hurl the lance, the immense tail
lashed the water and filled his eyes with
briEe. In a jify the monster was of
again. The skipper gave line slowly un.
til at least two hundred feet were taken
out. The fish wentsto the bottom and
tried to sulk. The; pressure, however,
was too great. -
All this time the schooner was slowly
holding her curse with, a dashed tiller.
Both men went at the fish with renewed
earnestness. They worked him from
the bottom inch by inch, holding what
they secured by pressure on the gunwale.
Finally the monster gave way. He came
toward the surface, appearing on each
side of the ship, and darling under the
dory trailing astern. Then he made a
break for the bow, and for some minutes
kept neck and neck with the bowsprit.
He next stationed himself under the keel,
and kept Roadway with the ship. Again
he essayed to reach the bottom. The
strain was too much. He took out nos
more than fifty feet of line and rested.
His fighting spirit was gone.
CHOW, rush him, rush him up!" cried
the skipper.
Hand o" + hand the fish was once more
drawn to the surface. AS the living blue
log rolled into sight beneath the waves
the skipper seized the lance and made re-
peated thrusts into its brain. This
stunned the monster and made it sick.
1t vomited a bushel or more of small fish
and rolled stomach upward. In a flash
the lance sped into it's vitals. The water
was dyed with blood. Around the enor
nous tail went the blight of a rope, and
by the aid of q tackle block the game
was drawn ON deck, its huge head rest
inc upon the bow bulwark. There W.,
n slight spasm and the fish was dead. 1t
was over sixteen feet long and weighed
over 400 pounds. Its sword was nearly
four feet long and over four inches wide.
As the great fish died it took on all the
colors of the rainbow. Its back I'D
and sword were at first of IA beautiful
bronze, and its under side pearly silver
in color. A dying dolphin alone could
have shown more lovely tints. The eyes
were exquisite. They were the size of
ice cream plates. The pupils were as
large as half dollars and as t~ransluctant
as m~oonstones. The tail was spread out
like the wings of an eagle.
The huge fish wa rolled forward and
covered with a tarpaulin. The decks
were washed, the sails set anew, and the
schooner Mystery sailed homeward, while
the red lights Of 4 setting sun illumined
the ocean.

The plan of voting in assemblies by

wedding the time lost in making dlV1-
lions, has been before the French Cham

ject was presented by NJ. Montant. In
hat report the .advisability of employ
nc a machine which would indicate not
,nly the total votes sspour' or ''contre" a
neasure-that is to say the ''ayes" and
"noes"-but also the number OF volun-
;ary abstentions from voting, as distinct
from the number of abscntces. Such an,
apparatus has been devised by NJ. lie
Goaziou. On every desk in front OF a
member is placed a small box fitted with
two handles, which the member works
when registering his vote. The right
handle registers his "aye," the left his
"no," and both moved simultaneously
indicate his abstention from voting. The
results are printed by means OF electro
magnets in a receiver, and are visible at a
dance. Provision is made for a member

be brought out by Captain Woodward, u,
the Royal British mail steamer Don, by
which it is proposed to do away with oars
as a means of propelling ships lifeboats.
It consists of a hand power screw pro-
peller, which enables the boat to be
driven by anyone in it, though I'M
acquainted with rowing. This, Captain
Woodward points out, will obviate the
chance of passengers who may get away
from a stranded ship finding themselves
in a boat without oars or having them
without anyone skilled in their use. The
machinery takes up little room, and
seems to be both efficient and simple.
