race begins in earnest down the other side,
and SO fast they go that at times 1t almost
seems that they are falling. With the dis
appearance of the rigging on men-of-war
and the increase of the military masts this
common sport of the old navy must go.
Then comes another novel feature, the
spud race. Along as many seams of the
deck as there are contestants rows of equal
numbers of potatoes are placed, with bas-
ket at the beginning of each row. the con-
testants standing by the baskets till the
go; then each one must go to the first
potato and carry it back to the basket, and
so on until all are in the basket the first
one winning, of course. 1t would at first
seem an easy task to pick up hundred po-
tatoes placed at one foot intervals and car
ry them to the basket, and to look at them
one would at first think only few minutes
necessary, but an easy calculation will show
that the actual distance to be gone over is
but little short of two miles, and consider
ing the time taken in picking up the pota-
toes and turning around each time, it is a
fast speed" racer who can finish the race
In twenty minutes. The crowd Of jackeys

Then come boxing contests, sack races.

of being either one of the laughing audience

the ship has a glee club among the jackeys
the evening Is taken up with a concert till

swung anu the NSntS turned OUT and all
Is quiet except for the lookouts, at the side
lights, as they call out each half hour on
the stroke of the bell, "Starboard cathead,
bright light" and Port cathead, bright
light!' Here and there on the decks near
the standings. lights that burn all night, a
sailor or apprentice boy is writing a letter
to mother or sister back in 1.-The states"

countered or from the first port.
Up on the bridge the officer Of the deck
PAGES up and down. open eyed for any dan

thoughts turn to the home back in 1.-The

christmas night, and he knows that their

that absence only makes the heart grow

But his reveries must not be too deep, for
the big ship under his care Is steaming
along through the blue sea and the dark
ness at fifteen to twenty miles an hour and
another ship may loom up at any time, or
the summer skies da-ken into a sudden
squal. So hopes and friends and love and

A WOODEM LEG AND A DOG.

How Nearly They Altered Bismarck's
Triumphant Career.
A wooden leg and a dog nearly
changed European history. In 1865,
just prior to the war between Prussia
and Denmark, Bismarck was staying
at Bis,rritz. One morning, accompanied
by a huge dog, he was walking along
a road which runs along cliff, pro-
tected by :, low wall, when he met an
old French naval captain with a
wooden leg, but powerfully built and
Of a quick temper. The dog became
unduly attentive to the captains leg,
and the Frenchman struck at
the animal with the butt of his
fishing-rod. Bismarck used a round
German oath, and the sailor followed
with nautical emphasis. From words
the two came to blows, and in a few
minutes Bismarck found that, strong
as he was, the Frenchman was lifting
him bodily rpon the top of the sea
wall. Another moment and he would
have been in the sea below, and the
whole course of history would have
been changed. At the critical moment
came help-by the irony of fate-in
the shape of an equerry of Napoleon,
who rescued the German from his ter
rible opponent If that equerry could
only have known for what he had
saved himi
