eve Gave n Verbal Description"
30 Smiley was overly anxious to know
how a turkey might look,
And we gave him a verbal description as
clear as you'd find in book.
Then what did he do but invite us to
dinner on Thanksgiving day;
'"The turkey I'll have" he assured us,
land cooked in the old-fashioned way.
You tell me wild turkeys are met with
sometimes in the woods about here?
All right; I'm a prince with the rifle. Re
member, don't fail to appear"
Time passed, and it soon was November;
the morning of Thanksgiving came;
We hadn't forgotten the turkey, and
started to tackle the same;
We soon reached the Englishman's dug
out, and Smiley was there with his
feast;
His face was all lighted with pleasure
as rosy as dawn in the east;
II killed ia beautiful turkey" he cried,
and as plump as a grouse;

calmly contemplating the operation.

AN ENEMY TO THE OYSTER
Great Destruction in the Delaware
Bay Beds by the "BOrer."

Great Destruction in the Delaware
Bay Beds by the "BOrer."
The 'borer," pest about the size Of
small strawberry, is working great
havoc among the oyster beds in Della
ware bay and tributary streams, says
the Philadelphia Ledger.
Capt. Moses Veale, of the oyster
schooner White Lily, says that the de-
structive powers of the "borer' have
been known to oyster men only few
years. He had followed oyster digging
nearly thirty-ive years, and the first
''borer" he saw was about ten years
ago, but their ravages in the oyster
beds were comparatively unnoticed un-
til last year.
Capt. Veale said that last year the
lumber of dead oysters with holes
made by bOrers in the shell became so
great that oystermen were alarmed.
This year the work of the borers has
became a grave matter, and if it con-
tinueS many bays will be depopulated
of oysters. From one bed we dredged
on this trip we got 1000 baskets of
oysters, but out of that only 200 were
good, the dead oysters having been
killed by borers. A peculiar thing
about the ravages of the "borers' is
their apparent selection Of the best oys-
ter beds. We have found this to be
true several times this season. We
have found bed of small oysters al
most entirely free from "borers." This
bed will be separated from another bed
of larger oysters by 200 feet, but this
latter bed will be so badly affected by
the creatures that it will hardly pay to
work it.
"From what I can learn from oyster
men the destruction wrought by bor-
erS is much more severe in Delaware
bay than in other Places
''The work of the borer this year
makes a double misfortune, for the
oyster beds were badly damaged by
the big storm in August and Septem-
Der. Very few people who are not in
the oyster-dredging business know any
thing of the methods of the bOrer.
When | first took notice of it's work
secured several oysters just after the
borer had fastened itself to the shell.
When the bOrer faStenS itself it holds
on like leech, and it is with difficulty
that it can be removed with the fin
gers.
Sometimes the 'borer' fastens itself
to the oyster shell near the edge, and
then the oyster is not killed. When
the hole of the ''bOrer" is made near
the center of the shell the oyster is at
tackled in it's vital parts and dies in
three or four days after the hole is
first made
Some of the bed owners near Maurice
river have lost large sums of money
this year on account of the "borer"
Thomas Munsey, who has number of
large beds, it is said, will lose $4,000.
Several other men have lost nearly as
much through this unloked-for calam-
| ity, and a number of men have lost III
the neighborhood Of $4,000 or $1,000.
All oystermen say there can be no way
of taking away the "borer" without
destroying the oyster beds.

CHAPTER, VII,

Somehow or other, Bell did not feel
such a glow of pleasure and enthusi-
asm in communicating her news to
Barney that evening, as she had antic-
ipated. She was very glad, of course,
to have got this employment, It was
a most excellent thing. But, if Mrs
Boddington could have been a little
more friendly and sympathetic, and if
her children had not been so spoiled

that they would prove to be, and
If the work were not quite so
hard; and, above all, if the pay were a
little better! Bell was ashamed Of her.

good care to breathe no word Of dis
content or disappointment to Barney.

rived at q complete knowledge of the

you more? All, my dear, what baby
you are!I'
Mrs. Jack blushed, and protested that
she had not expected anything Of the
kind. Not really expected it, you
know, Barney" she added truthfully

the sort might have gone through my
mind without my consent. But as

Some of the Inconvenience a Man

1t was the Sparks family's first night
in the new fiat, and Mr.. Sparks felt as
every man feels who has been moving

The drayman had dropped trunk on
the family clock and made it useless

Mr. Sparks had just paid $50 to one
landlord to let him out and $50 to an
other to let him in, says the Chicago
Tribune.
"One clock is as good as another"
said he, "and can't waste my money
on fancy ones. The works are all the
same, and l don't propose to pay for

went barefooted down two flights of
uncarpeted stairs, while the bell kept
up its tattoo behind him. He was in
an agony lest it awake the baby, con-
tingency that meant no peace until
morning, for the Sparks baby was OF

A New Form of Atlantic Steamship

A New Form of Atlantic Steamship.
The oldest looking object that has
been evolved of late years from the
mind of the ship-builder is shown in
drawing by NJ. Bazin, a
French engineer, of the craft which he
proposes to propel across the Atlantic
at the rate of thirty knots an hour.
The ship looks like deck or platform
fixed a little above the axles of eight
enormous wheels. M. Bazin's theory
is that the eight wheels on which the
vessel is fixed will so far diminish the
resistance offered by the waves that a
very high speed can be developed;
such a speed, in fact, as would make
1t possible to cover the distance be-
New York in 100 hours. The rollers
enter the water to the depth Of 8
meters, and revOlve slowly within a
platform placed Z IL meters above the
water thus forming a rolling instead
of gliding body, as is the case with
the ordinary system Of propulsion. The
pellers whereby the vessel Is moved,
special machinery being provided for
this purpose. NJ. Balm seems fully
confident of the stability of his ship,
which he says can be built at COM
paratively small cost; at all events,
much more cheaply than ordinary
ships. 1t is estimated that the rollers
will make twenty revolutions per min
ute, easily achieving thirty knots an
hour with force equal to 10000 horse
power, of which 2,4O0 in assigned to
revolving the wheels and 1900 to pro,
polling the vessel. IT is proposed to
construct a vessel on M. Bazin's plan
and should 1t be successful the ocean
greyhound of the future, rolling along
at a fifty-knot gait, may bear a far
greater resemblance to a huge Ferris
wheel than the comparatively slow Lu'
canias Of to-day.
