Hasbrouck, called by his neighbors Mount
ain Dan Has6rouck,' owned farm which
took in part OF the mountain whore The
Traps are. One forenoon he starred out TO
build piece of rail fence. He had cut the
rails about two weeks before, and had them
near at hand. The night before was cold
one, and early in the morning the frost COW
cred every thing. Dan worked hard and
fast. About eleven o'clock he went home for
dinner. The forenoon had been cloudy and
disagreed bic. The wind blew cold and
chilly, and Dan was satisfied 70 go home
early. About noon the sun shone out
brightly, the wind died away and it was
warm like. Mountain Dan after having
finished his noon meal, returned 10 his
work. When he reached the spot he found
that his fence had disappeared. Not one
rail was left. The disappearance of the
fence which had been carefully made by
him was beyond his comprehension. Going
to the spot where he had commenced his
work, he was startled by big black snake.
"'There, said Dan, as he told the story.
IN DE busted, by gosh, if I hain't laid that
there fence up with olachsnakes.'
''Sure enough, the snakes had been
frozen stiff during the night, aud Dan
thinking they were rails, had laid them up
just as he would wooden rails. While he
had gone to dinner the sun had warmed
them up bit, and they crawled away.
Dam says that he measured the snake ne
killed, and it was eight feet in length. He
had an axe with him, and il was as long as
four lengths of the handle. l reckon the

| At length her subjects reioiced in the
knowledge of a new element in the queens

| AS she retired from public view through af-
| lection, so she returned; she began TO make
| longer visits, TO be seen much more, and I'm
ally delighted her people and many foreigners
by her visits TO Germany and other parts Of
| the continent
Fashion writers in many lands have amused
their readers with mild satire on her majes-
tyis drawing room etiquette, and the question
of high neck or decollete dresses at her recep-
lions became an almost international one
She has insisted on the old style, however,
and those who would be received by the queen
In high neck dresses must get permit from
the lord high chamberlain on the ground of
age, i'll health or inflrmity. All these things
show that her majesty Is interesting herself
more in social matters, and the successive
marriages of her grandchildren occupy her
mind greatly, especially that of Prince Albert
Victor, oldest son of the Prince of W ales and
therefore prospective king. By the royal
marriage act he cannot espouse a Roman
Catholic, and just at present Protestant prin-
cesses of suitable rank are scarce. 1t is wins
pered that he is very much in love with Prin-
cess Victoria of Teck, -oldest daughter of the
Duke of Cambridge and his cousin in the
third degree only; but Der majesty Is decided
ly opposed to their union.
Not long ago her majesty delighted an Amer
lean admirer, an officer, by sending request
for an autograph OF Gen. Andrew jackson,
whom as she said, she greatly admired. Dur
ing his early political career Gen. jackson
wrote a letter to Col Boteller, a southern
congressman, asking him to get blu passed

he thought there was no necessity for it. This
letter was thought the most suitable to send
to her majesty, ar it was forwarded accord
ingly.
In private life the queen has many more
amusements than is generally imagined She
Is specially fond of parlor theatricab and
tableaux vivants, and during her stay in the
Isle of Wight last year the Princess Beatrice
devised many tableaux, she and her husband,
Henry of Battenberg, taking the leading
parts. Among the scenes which particularly
pleased the queen were those of Solomon re-
ceiving the queen of Sheba and Sir Waller
Raleigh spreading the cloak for Queen Elixa-

composition on hand. Perhaps she viii have

A NEW CENTERBOARD.
With 1t Boat Can Head Right Up Into
the Eve of the Wind

With It Boat Can Head Right Up Into
the Eye of the Wind
Assemblymau NJ j. lyman, of Stapleton,
proposes to select out of any feet of seventy
foot boats or under the poorest one on the
wind, provided she runs at good pace with
free sheet, and at his own expense put into
her trunk his new kind of centerboard, which
he guarantees Will make her a wonder in
windward work, says The New York Sun.
A slight alteration in the shape of the
trunk, without any change whatever in the
slot in the keel, is all that will be necessary;
so that the boat cannot possibly be injured
by the change. Several experts, he says to
whom he showed this continuance, have
spoken in the highest terms of it. 1t consists
of two sliding boards that fit neatly into each
other, and form an immense rocker" or
crescent shaped keel One or both can be
used at will, and they can be lead loaded if
necessary.
So far as it has gone this centerboard has
an interesting history. Some years ago Mr..
lyman was an enthusiastic yachtsman. In
1873 he owned boat called the Elizabeth
She was fast before the wind, but was a
worthless bundle Of boards when close
hauled 1t was this radical defect that set

The racing season of 1889 is well under
Gay, and bids fair TO equal that Of last year
The earliest surprises were the defeat OF
Proctor Knott twice By Spokane, the first
time at the Derby, the second for the Clark
stakes at Louisville, and the winning OF the
Brooklyn handicap By Exile. Proctor Knott
was beaten purely on his merits, and his de-
feat has plunged his admirers into the depths
of uncertainty. True, he has been defeated,
but he is by no means done for.
Proctor Knott is a, big, impetuous, coarse
looking animal, and shows no evidence of his
high rate Of speed. Spokane, the horse
which did up Knott so easily, Is owned by
Noah Armstrong and is by Hyder Ali, dam
1nterpose, and is a grand looking colt, just
about the same size and build as Proctor
Knott. He started once before This season
In the Montgomery stakes at Memphis, and
was good second TO Strideaway, although
then not nearly fit. ,-
The uncertainty OF racing and the inability
of favorites to win when expected was very
well demonstrated In the recent Brooklyn
handicap. Every one knows how Exile, an
to chance, defeated such flyers as Hanover,
Terra Gotta, Elkwood and Prince Royal.
Exilo won easily by a length and half, and
once more demonstrated that he is one of the
most valuable handicap horses on the turf to-
day. He is almost invirrcible at any distance

that would hold her up to her work, and the
result was the invention for which he OBJ
tanned a caveat in June of the same year.
With this windward machine in her trunk
he entered the Elizabeth for the Bayonne
regatta in September, 1873.
He was laughed at for sending such tub
to compete with fast boats, but surprises are
always in order on the water, and the Eliza
beth, after keeping company with the yachts
on the free run, walked through the fleet and
made them look like a pack of hounds after a
fox when she got down to business on the

clock, which MIR. lyman still keeps as a tro-
ply, with the record of the race In the

times, contending with boats considerably

is what every man, woman or child who falls
overheard or is thrown into the water beyond
their depth should attempt if tLey cannot
swim. To float in perpendicular position
one assumes the most natural attitude, as is
shown in the cut illustrating the easiest per-
pendicular floating position. The man should
have his hands down by his hips, his head
thrown well back, and all of his body sub
merged up a line drawn from just below his
ears to his mouth. If he lifts his arms out of
the water or throws his hands up over his
head he will sink unless by treading action
with his feet he keeps himself up. His lungs
should, Of course, be inflated to enable him to
keep his head above water unless he is a man
with an enormous front knapsack that Will
never let him sink
"a man who cannot swim. but who is forced
overheard, and must do something to save
himself from drowning, should always at
tempt this, the easiest of floating attitudes.
Then he should have confidence enough from
the fact that he is lighter than the water to
permit himself TO be submerged, as far as
his mouth, or a little higher, without throw
ing up his hands, raising an outnry, thus ex-
haling the air from his lungs, and going 60 the
bottom. Very few people ever float or attempt
to float in a perpendicular manner, as most
of them prefer to float In a horizontal posi-
ton, lying on their backs.
FLOATING ON THE BACK
next to the perpendicular floating the
floating on the back is the easiest thing to do
in the water. To float on your back in the
easiest manner you must, of course, have
your lungs inflated, keep your limbs rigid,
throw your head well back and place your
hands over your head, holding your arms
straight close up to your ears If your lower
limbs are heavy and they will not come on
a level with your body when you lie in the
water, you can, by holding light weight of
some kind in your hands over your Lead

OF course the results achieved by Mr.. Bur-

way by having very hollow sections of the

then making fore and aft water tight COM

constructing a long galvanized iron tank.
