A Story of Bosun.

The manufacture of anecdotes about
dogs was constant source of amusement
to Captain Marryat. AS the creator Of
"Snarleyyow" Marryat showed marked
ability. How much that great practical
joker, Hook, helped Marryat as collabo.
rator in dog yarns is not known. The
most ingenious one is about Bosun,
represented to be Newfoundland dog.
Bosun's master made bet that, if a
half dozen silk hats were put down Oh
the floor, his dog would bring them all to
him in his mouth at once. The wager
was accepted and six high hats were
put on the floor. Bosun was introduced
and requested ''to fetch em."
Did Bosun hesitatep Perhaps for a
moment, but the noble animal was only
thoughtful, not embarrassed Examin.
ing the circumference of the many hats,
Bosun selected at once the largest, then
the next in size and slipped the smaller
into the larger hat and SO on until he
had comfortably nested the whole six in
the one large hat. Then taking the en-.
tire hat package neatly by the rim, he
brought the six hats to his master. This
story, when Marryat saw it copied all
over England, gave him the keenest de-
light, and, for aught that is known, it
still floats around in the columns Of
French or German newspapers.-Ne
York Times

Tho Value of Lime Water.

The value of lime water about the
house in the summer can scarcely be
overestimated. To prepare it is an easy
matter, as all that is necessary is to put
layer of unslaked lime in o wide
mouthed jar and fill it with cold water.
There is no danger of using too much
lime, as the water will only take up so
much, however much is put in. 1t
takes only few hours for the water to
take up all the lime that is possible.
After it has stood say five hours the wa
ter may be drained off and more wa
ter added until the lime is all absorbed.
Acidity of the stomach is corrected by
adding little lime water to the drink
ing water. A teaspoonful of lime water
added to glass Of milk corrects the
tendency which milk has to coagulate
in the stomach, forming hard, indi-
gestible mass. For this reason it should
be added to the milk fed the little
children, and nursing bottles should be
rinsed with it. AS mild disinfectant
there is nothing safer or better.

Auniept and Modern pres,.


think the ancients exercised vastly
more Judgment in the matter Of wearing
apparel than do the moderns. Compare
the dress of Roman senator with the
haberdashery of o member of the Ameri-
can house Of millionaires. The former
was graceful, comfortable, picturesque;
the latter is the reverse of all these. We
do not realize how incongruous and in.
artistic the modern male costume is, be-
cause we have become accustomed to it.
A high silk hat, spiketailed coat and bag
gy trousers constitute our ideal of fault
less attire, yet it is sufficient to give an
artist an acute attack of the mulligrubs.
Sculptors avoid it as they would the
plague; artists frequently resort to gross
anachronisms to get around a combina-
ton which makes a man resemble no.
thing created by the Almighty, and des.
titute of single line of beauty.
We are continually lecturing the la
dies on the subject Of dress, yet they
have preserved some of the beauties and
comforts of ancient costumes, while we
have sacrificed them all and are as
proud Of it as an Indian squaw who has
traded buffalo robe for a secondhand
pair Of soldier pants. Even the extrav-
agances of male costumes during the
Middle Ages were infinitely preferable
to the stupid garments Of the present.
We will probably never return to the
toga of the Romans or the gaudy colors
of the crusaders, but the baggy trousers,
the spiketailed coat and the idiotic
'plug" cannot last forever. Some genius
will yet lead us out of the wilderness OF
absurdities into which we have fallen

"Learn" and "reach. !"

The difference between the use of the
words learn and teach is often insisted
upon, and yet, strangely enough, it is
often disregarded even by persons who
should know how to speak correctly.
The following conversation, which actu-
ally took place in one of the leading
clubs of Boston, illustrates the way in
which the error is committed:
One member said to another, who was
his friend, and whom he had met driv.
ing during the day:
"Whyin the world didn't you lift your
hat to me today when was with Miss
Blank"
"Oh," the other returned easily, 81
just didn't want to. You can't learn me
manners"
"No," was the quiet response, ''but
could teach you English if you would
give me half chance. youths Com

Why. Indeed?

"Why does a dog run sideways or di-
agonally?" inquired the purchaser of q
fine black Newfoundland pup Of a dog
fancier the other day. "Well, sir, that's
a question I've been asked frequently,
and after some investigation have con-
cluded the reason is that the animal has
been brought up that way. Why does
chicken roost on one foot, or an owl
keep its eyes wide open all night long,
or rooster crow vigorously at the break
of early dawn, or pig run homeward
with straws in its mouth before ap-
preaching rain? These are questions
that are as difficult to solve as some of
the astronomical problems. "-Philadel-

SHE WAS SHOT.
But the Missile Was Projected by q
Harmless Airgun.

But the Missile Was Projected by q
Harmless Airgun.
"I had a curious experience while
passing through New York" said a
western lady to some friends on the
beach at Newport. "We had taken
rooms at the B-k, and unfortunately
reached New York just in time for an
absolutely torrid hot wave AS had
pressing need for few days shopping
kept my husband and brother in town
for forty-eight hours, to their great dis
comfort, and they spent their evenings
by the windows of our sitting room in
the lightest of attire, drinking iced
drinks and trying vainly to keep cool.
The night before we left town we re-
tired rather late, after the men had
been solacing themselves in their usual
fashion.
"'It was so hot that it was some time
before could sleep, and just as was
DOING off l remembered that I had left
my rings on the dressing table near the
sitting room door, the windows Of which
were wide open on little iron balcony.
"A good chance for robbers thought
drowsily, but was too lazy to get up to
put them in a safer place. Late in the
night was aroused by the report of
pistol, or what sounded like one; and
my first impression was that I was shot,
for I was literally bathed, head and
shoulders, in something that felt sure
for the moment was blood.
"'Henry,' screamed, I have been
l. ~le 1xxs~ AL I'll
and giddy that I was sure my end was
approaching. Take good care Of the
children, I murmured. And, oh,
Henry, promise me not to marry that
horrid Miss NJ that you seem to ad-
mire SO muchv what nonsense, Emf!
said my callous spouse, as he struck O
light and turned on the gas, you have
been dreaming
"'But am wet with blood' I ex-
claimed Indignantly, feeling that after
all he wasn't worthy of tender death
bed scene, and that felt all right again
by Jove, you are moist he said, put
ting his hand on my shoulder, but it is
not blood, whatever it is.' Suddenly he
gave great guffaw of laughter and
pointed to the parlor, which was dimly
lighted by the gasjet in my room.
We'll, what is it? I don't see any
thing put in Grossly, for by this time
felt thoroughly upset.
"'Oh, it is too delicious he gasped.
You have been shot, you poor little
thing, but not by burglars; only by
soda water bottle, and there on the table,
where he and my brother Harry had left
them, lay couple of bottles, one point
ing as straight for my bed as if it had
been aimed at me. Henry had cut the
wires confinlng the cork of one of the
bottles and had then concluded not to
open it, and I suppose the heat may have
helped the effervescence, for the force of
the explosion carried both cork and the
soda water across the room, hitting me
on the shoulder.

two men enjoyed my shooting affair
and what capital they have made out Of
it."-New York Tribune.

columbus, Idea of tho world.

Columbus believed the solid part of
the sphere to be larger than the liquid
part, and the distance by the sunset road
between the East Indies and western
Europe to be less than it is.
But in those two capital errors lay the
great incentive to the execution and sue
cess of his purpose. Had he known the
vast planetary spaces covered by the
waters; the continent interposed be-
tween his own Europe and the land of
diamonds, gold and spices; the difficulty
and peril of the passage yet to be braved
in the far regions of the antarctic pole in
order to sail from our continental Eu-
rope to the oriental Indies by the west
ern way, he would perhaps have shrunk
back in alarm and dread.-Emilio Cas-
telar in Century.

Rubber Tires for Carriaces,

The success of rubber tires ON bicycles
has frequently led to attempts to in
crease the comfort of buggy and car
riage riding by fixing tires on to wheels,
but in the majority Of instances the at
tempt was not a success, as the tire
either came off or wore out in very
short space Of time. Since, however,
pneumatic tires have displaced the solid
ones on bicycles, the attempt is being
renewed, and buggies and other vehicles
are likely to be seen on the boulevards
in large numbers before long as noise.
less and free from vibration as bicycles.
Carriage builders believe there is an
immense amount Of money to be made
out of vehicles with rubber tires on the
wheels, and they are likely to keep on
experimenting until they finally succeed
in producing the desired article.-St.

Training Race Horses.

Study the idiosyncrasies of each indi-
vidual horse. Endeavor that the ground
over which you try should be as nearly
as possible similar in its gradients to the
course over which the race will be run.
Give your horses plenty of fresh air and
exercise, but feed and clothe them we'll.
If it is suggested that they should be
lightly clad in.winter consider how you
would like ityourself. Above all things,
remember that race horse is always
going up or down hill in point of condi.
ton, and that he is very rarely on the
summit. Change your exercise ground
as often as possible, horses being as liza,
BILE to boredom as rnen.-London Satur-

this best is considered q great actor.
