The Way 1t Blew on the Lske.

A party Of yachtsInen were becalmed
out On Lake Ontario Sunday afternoon,
and while waiting for a breeze the time
was occupied in spinning yarns. There
were two or three old salts on board,
and they did all the spinning, while the
Younger and less experienced tars sat
and smoked and listened. Finally one
of the old salts took his pipe from be-
tween his teeth long enough to draw
breath, and said:
"You fellows give me a pain talking
about big storms. Why, | was out in a
storm in the summer of 80 that was SO
much bigger than any that you have
ever seen that they are like cats paws
compared to it."
Then he stopped and began industri-
ously to draw upon his pipe again.
Tell us about it," said the young fell
lows in chorus.
sit was in the month of July in the
year 1869, and | was out on the lake in a
yacht of mine," he said, after pausing
long enough to fill his pipe afresh and
light it, land the wind began to get
pretty fresh. | paid but little attention
to it, but it kept blowing fresher and
fresher, and one of my crew asked if we
had not better shorten sail. thought
that there was no danger and said that
there was time enough. All Of a sudden
the wind began to blow harder than l
eyer saw it III this latitude, and we all
began to get badly scared.
Il gave orders to take in sail, but be-
fore the men could lay hands on a rope
a big puff came and away went the sails
into ribbons. There we were out in the
middle Of the lake with no sails, and the
situation began to look desperate. How
we were going to get in | did not know,
but the very storm itself furnished US a
way and we rode safely to shore"
Here he stopped and began to smoke.
"How did you get in" asked the
youngest sailor Of the lot.

blew so hard that it blew the ropes out
fat and they served for sails.

TRANSLATED FOR THE D1sPATcH.l
On the banks of clear, swift-howing
stream, stood large water-mlll, whose two
great wheels turned busily, night and day,
and with a roaring, splashing sound hurled
the water from its immense paddles. The
mill was built Of red stone, and all the wood
work about it was painted bright green.
Around the building grew tall linden trees,
whose graceful tops were mirrored in the
crystal brook, and the fragrance Of whose
blossoms, in the spring time, drew countless
bees toward them.
Nav had come The banks of the brook
were covered with those little blue flowers,
called forget me-nots. The trees we're put
ting forth their tender green leaves, and the
fish, who had lived all winter under the
frozen stream, now in their joy over the re-
turn Of spring, sometimes leaPed clear out
of the water. The birds were all home again
after their visit to warmer climes, aud the
meadows rang with their voices as they
chstted to their mates and planned about
the nests they were building. And at night
when all was still the nightingale raised its
sweet voice and all the other birds awoke
from their slumbers to listen to the rich
melody, and then fell asleep again and
dreamed of paradise and sunny realms.
The swallows, because they so admired
human dwellings, had, unlike the other
birds, built their nests IN the old mill, whose
projecting gable roof afforded protection
from the rain aud the wind. This summer
they had come in great numbers, and had
built their small brown nests in long rows
on the red stone, and the parent birds were
kept busy trying to fill the ever-open mouths
OF their young with flies, gnats and other in
sects which swarmed over the mill pond.
The miller's son was a fat, stupid boy,
who cared for little else than eating and
sleeping; but when he saw the swallows
nests ne said: "What right have those lazy

4 REMARKABLE CAT.

Some Of the Peculiarities of q Feline Epicure
in Brooklyn.
"Broady" is big Brooklyn cat. He is a
Maltese of the deepest dye. Seven years of
life have passed over his shapely head, but
each year has added to his store of intelli-
gence. Now he is probably the best in
formed cat in the block in which he prowls.
"Broady," says the New York Herald,
is very regular in his habits. When
meal time rolls around he is always
found meowing in front of the refrigerator
in which his food is stored. And there he
stays, crying and scratching, until some-
body attends to his wants. This he does
three times a day.
Although particular about the hour at
which he is fed, he is more so in regard to
what he eats. Calves liver, raw, too, is the
only thing he indulges in. Nothing else,
not even chicken, fish or other tidbits dear
to the feline heart. can tempt him from the
liver.
His memory is strong, for he never forgets
friend or forgives a foe. When his master
returns from business at the usual hour
"3roady" is at the door to greet him with
his deep, musical purr. IF his master is not
on time "Broady" sinks away to his favor
lite place, on chair near the kitchen range,
but when his master returns he is all ami
nation, and springs up to receive a caress.
Outside of occasional incursions into the
precincts infested by rats and mice, he sell
dom absents himself from home. And there
he receives every attention. Nothing is too
good for him, although his wants are few.
When he wishes drink of water he climbs
upon the sink and news. Two plain.ive
cries notify the household that he is thirsty,
and water is soon forthcoming.
At the dining table be is favored guest.
His chair is placed beside that of his mas
ter regularly, but he will not take it until it
has been nicely cushioned with newspaper.
And the louder it crackles the better he
likes it, There he sits, quietly gazes upon
each member of the family in turn until the
meal is concluded, aud then he leaves the
table promptly with the diners. Having
been well and carefully trained, he is able
to participate in conversations like these:
Hello, Broadly are you feeling well
this morning?" somebody asks.
Meow" he will respond.
That means "Yes."
"Want some liver?"
"Meow." This is always uttered with EN-.
phasis.
Two cries are taken for a negative reply,
and three, accompanied by the same num-
Der OF scratches, signify that he desires te
have door opened. He dislikes whistling
and If anyone does so, he "meows" twic,
and stalks out of the room in which his tor
mentor is. He sleeps in the same apartment
as his master, ID almost as valuable as
watchdog, and, taken all in all, is quite /,
remarkable cat.

Have the person whose name you wish to
know inform you in which of the Upright
columns the first letter OF the name is con-
tanned. If it is found in but one column it is
the top letter; if it occurs in more than one
column, it is found by adding the alphabet
ical numbers OF the top letters of the col
umns in which it is to be found, the sum
being the number of the letter sought. By
taking one letter, at time, in the
way outlined above, the whole word
or name may be plainly spelled out.
Take the word Jane for example. j is
lound in two columns beginning with and
H, which are the second and eighth letters
down the alphabet; their sum is ten, and the
tenth letter down the alphabet is J, the let
ter sought. The next letter, A, appears in
but one column, the first, where it stands at
the head. N is seen in the column headed
B, D and H, which are the second. fourth

they give the fourteenth, or N, and so on.

The nymph now declared that punish
ment should speedily overtake the miller's
son, and the next day when the boy was
fishing in the mill pond, the nymph seized
him, carried him into his grotto. and threw
countless crabs upon him, after which he
hurled him upon the bank. The crabs
pinched with their sharp claws until the
boy cried out with pain, and the men in the
mill ran to his assistance. But from that
time the rich miller's son always had a
large, red nose, and as be passed through
the village streets the children would point
their fingers at him and cry: There goes
the boy whose nose has become so large and
red because he was cruel to the little swal-

As much alike as are two pins
So much alike they must be twins
Are these two words; in one we see
Four syllables-the other three.
Yet all the difference can spy
Is in-here's slang-is in your ].
The question is, which shall choose
When such word wish to use.
Perhaps each has its proper place,
For each is "a particular case"
And "a peculiar case"as we'll,
The bother is, which way to spell,
NV whole or last just at this time,
In shaping puzzles into rhyme;
In this, as well as in my talk.
On words do not wish to talk.
Indeed, always tax my mind
The most appropriate word to fnd,
But where / have these two in sight

And Webster's Unabridged, my guide,
Does not help me to decide.

That the shortest is the best.
