Unpleasant Experience of an Amateur
Sailor with n Flying Fish.

Unpleasant Experience of an Amateur
Sailor with n Flying Fish.
Persons who have not experienced
some seafaring among the West India
Islands and become to some extent
familiarized with the tricks and antics
of the flying fish which abound in these
waters will be surprised at the velocity
they attain in their short flights The
fish will never leave the water unless
compelled to do so by their natural enc
mics, the dolphins and when they do
fly they shoot through the air like a
rocket.
Some years ago, while on voyage to
Rio Janeiro, had an experience off the
Cuban coast with flying fish that l am
not likely to forget and which made me
the subject of considerable merriment
among my older companions. The ma.
jority of them were old sailors who had
visited these waters many times before
and were we'll acquainted with the
tricks of the winged fish.
They prefer flying at night, and 1T was
during the midnight watch that l met
with my adventure. The night was one
of those balmy evenings peculiar to sub
tropical waters, seldom if ever expert
enced in the north. The full moon was
shining so brightly that one could al
most feel its rays. The breeze bad fall
en- away completely, allowing the sails
to flap lazily against the spars in accom-
paniment to the monotonous squeaking Of
the vessel as she wollowed lazily in the
trough Of the long ground swell. AS
far as eye could reach around tho
horizon not a ripple was visible
on the surface of the sea. The
very elements appeared to be
slumbering. The whole watch, with
the exception OF the man at the wheel
and l, wero gathered around the comb
ings of the fore hatch gambling away
their tobacco, spinning yarns and smOk-
ing. was seated mp on the capstan on
the ''look out" but the somnOlence OF
the very atmosphere itself kept me in
@ drowsy state just between waking and
sleeping. This, together with the mus
ical chirping Of Mother cSrey's chick,
ems" in the fore rigging, proved toe
much for my feeble efforts at wakeful-
ness, and several times I came within
an ace of falling overheard. This con.
tinued until near the end OF my watch,
when as l peacefully dozed off heard
q sudden swish" and before was
aware Of what had happened received

How to Clean Delicate Laoos.

A method sometimes used TO clean and
whiten very delicate lace Is to basic the
lace smoothly on linen cloth, then to
fold the lace inside, and TO put the cloth
in bowl and cover It with the best
olive oil, letting it soak for ten hours.
1t should then be boiled for quarter of
an hour in water having in solution q
small quantity Of pure hne soap Rinse
in cold water, put through very thin
starch water, and dry. Do not at any
step Of the process wiring or rub tho lace,
but squeeze and press It gently. When
dry, many OF the loops and meshcs may
be put into shape by passing pins Of
various sizes or bodkin through them.
A firm lace may, after careful bastinR
upon cloth, be cleaned by gontlo scrub
bing with hne brush dipped in strong
solution Of CASTLE soap. To clean thor
oughly ii must be brushed on both sides.
After rinsing In soft water containing Q
very little powdered alum, dip . soft
cloth in starch water and slightly
moisten the lace on the wrong side, then
lay thin cloth over it and press on ne
same side with moderately hot iron.
Point lace that is very much sotieA may
be cleaned in this wSy.-E. Y. Post
