CHAPTER ",

"A fresh crew came down from Lon.

Of crimp.
Ducklng went ashore to meet them
at the railway station, and they came of
in the same boat they had landed the
others on the previous day. .s,----... So.
They appeared much the same sort
Of men as those who had, left US; badly
clothed for the most part, and but four
of them had sea-chests, the rest bring
ing bags. There was one very big man
among them, fellow that dWarfed
the others; he held himself erect, wore
good boots, and might we'll have
passed for a Life-guardsman, were it
not for an indescribable something in
his gait, and the way in which he hung
his hands that marked him for Jack.
Another fellow noticed as he scram-
bled over the ships side, and sung out,
in tones as hoarse as q ravens, to
pitch him up his ''blooming port
mantey," had a very extraordinary
face, altogether out of proportion with
his head, being, dare say, full third
too small. The back of the skull was
immense, and was covered with hair
coarser than Due king s-as coarse as
hemp-yarns. This grew down beside
his ears, and got mixed up with his
streaky whiskers, which bound up the
lower part of his face like tar poul-
tice.

Sweets for Horses.

The fondness for sweets on the part
Of the horse has been taken advantage
OF in different parts OF the world and
his appetite for saccharine matter
catered to with the best results in
imWovng his condition. Horses
thrive remarkably well on sugar and
molasses, and these ingredients--in-
Interchangeable terms in this connect
ion-hive been regularly used since
1879 in Australia and South Ameri-
ca and other parts of the world Tor
gel ting horses into condition for sale,
and uso for colts while wintering in
the park, In ra sing colts there is a
risk of their suffering from stoppage
OF the bowels il fed entirely on dry
food, and to avoid this they are nj
lowed eau OTIS or roots OF some kind
in addition TO their dry food, Sugar
not only improves the condition OF
the colts, but prevents any risk OF
stoppage above referred to. The
way it is used is to dissolve the sugar
in water and pour it on the chaff or
cut hay, taking care that the food is
well mixed, and in day or two the
colt will be found licking the sides of
the manger long after the last NOR
sci OF the chat has been eaten.-South-

The Gable Speed of Electricity.

The experiments now in progress
ut McGill College, Montreal, under
the auspices of the British and Cana
dian governments to ascertain the
longitude OF Montreal by direct obser-
vations from Greenwich, have led to
the accomplishment OF remarkable
telegraphic feat.
The first thing TO determine was
the length OF time IL took II telegraph
10 signal TO cross the Atlantic. An
automatic contrivance whereby the
land line could work into the cable
was provided and duplex circuit
was arranged so that the signal sent
from Montreal would go over the land
lines TO Casino. thence over the cable
TO Waterville, Ireland, and return to
Montreal again. Attached to the
sending and receiving apparatus was
chronograph which measured the
time.
Out Of 200 signals sent 1t was found
that the average time taken TO cross
the Atlantic and back again-a dis
tance OF 5000 miles-occupied triflc
over one second, the exnct time being
one second and five hundrcdths.

A panzer In sreedlnr.

Even in England the farmers are be-
ginning to think that the breeding OF
these mountains Of horscie.h has been
carried too far. There is an ever pres
snt danger in the breeding OF all ami
mails that the size question will be
overdone and carried beyond an econ
omic standard. A correspondent OF
the London Live Stock journal writes
that paper as follows:
Some breeders are running 50 much after
she heavy type of London dray horses that
hey are leaving the plow out of sight.
There Is, he adds really no reason to do 80,
FOR farmers who wish TO use lighter horses
On their lands can have II market for their
yeldings il the animals are able to trot well,
almost as good as they can have for horses
up to the heaviest wagon work. Nothing
Is more useful ON the London streets ut
present than thick, square-set horse-wide
between the fore legs, active, and not an
inch more than 10 hands, indeed 10 hands
Is good height. They are scarcely pro-
hurnble, however, and leggy mongrels of
no apparent breeding from their looks,
have to be taken instead at low prices,
Bates, the great Shorthorn breeder,
was opposed to the idea OF breeding
lor excessive size. He saw that the
iood OF support was too great in the
expense OF daily maintenance for the
result obtained. The same principle
is true with horses. Muscular power
and effectiveness are not increased in
proportion to size.

Tho Proposed Trans.Pac,fic Tele-
Rraph Cable,

Rear Admiral Belknap's survey Of
parts OF the Pacific, preparatory to
the laying OF tho proposed irans-Pa-
c'tic telegraph cable, indicates that
extraordinary difficulties will be en-
countered. His soundings show the
existence ofa trough or basin OF en-
traordinary depth and extent along
the east coast OF Japan and the kurile
Islands, and under the Kuro Siwo, or
japan or Black Stream. Tho basin
exceeds any similar depression yet
found in any other regions of the
great oceans. In u run OF 80 miles
after leaving the coast Of Japan the
waters deepened more than l,S00
fathoms. and upon the next cast OF the
lead the wire broke after 4,643 faith
oms has been run out without bottom
having been reached. Thermometers
specially constructed for deep-sea
sounding were wrecked by the unpre-
cedented pressure. The depth OF the
deepest cast-5! miles. the deepest
water yet found-is sufficient to hold
two mountains us high as Japan's
great Fusiyama, one on top of the
other, and then the summit Of the
highest would be nearly two-thirds OF

German

Wis. This is the opinion of man
who keeps drug store, sells all
medicines, comes in direct contact
with the patients and their families,
and knows better than anyone else
how remedies sell, and what true
merit they have. He hears of all
the failures and successes, and can
therefore judge: 81 know of no

suffering from very
severe cold. She could hardly talk,

and that few doses would give re-

Whsn to Dig Potatoes.

A good many farmers look upon the
potato crop ms one that can bt

after the tubors are in the right con

true OF the early varieties, which may
bc planted early enough TO mature by
the last Of July, but are then not in.

continues until after corn huskipg.
Tho result OF this method, or lack oi

is when they arc ripe, ms shown by the
