Patriotic Rule.

There is a new rule in the navy depart.
ment that is as picturesque as it is pa.
%triotic. Whenever government vessel
on its way up or down the dirty Poto-
mae passes by Mount Vernon the bell on
the vessel tolls, and the sailors and off
GERS form in line and doff their caps and
salute the home Of Washington. No
matter what the crew are doing, all
work is stopped while the ceremony is
gone through. Sailors will stop in their
labor of sweeping off the deck, drop
their brooms and rush to get into line.
There has always been a kind of desul.
tory practice of this kind, and the home Of
the Father of His Country has generally
been honored in an informal way BY gov
eminent vessels in passing, but now this
tribute of respect is compulsory. and the
vessels vie with each other in the prompt
ness with which this salute is performed.

Columbian 81 stamp. cornerea.

Stamp collectors have learned witt sur.
prise that a New York firm has bought
up all the 81 stamps Of the Columbian
issue and raised the price to 8 so apiece.
1t is said the Spectators learned that
only about 10000 Of the 81 stamps re.
manned unsold and purchased them il
imall lots from postmasters all over the
country. The full issue of Columbian
stamps at their face value is worth
1854, and it is estimated that there is
a demand for 10000 full sets. No set
will be complete without the 81 stamp.
The only way to break the corner is for

He Got His Rife Back.

A good story is told of a young re-
cruit who enlisted in q regiment of foot
The young fellow joined the army while
the country was threatening war with
Egypt, and he intended to make a good
soldier. One day he was on guard duty
and was slowly stepping along when
an officer approached.
After the usual salute the officer said,
Let Ele see your rife.
The raw recruit handed over his rifle,
and IL pleased expression stole over his
face. As the officer received the weapon
he said in a tone of the deepest disgust:
You're a fine soldier. You've given
up your rife, and now what are you 60
ing to do?" The young fellow turned
pale, and putting his hand in his pocket
drew a big knife, and preparing for bust
ness said in voice that could not be
misunderstood:
"Gi' me that rifle, or III bore a hole
through you in a minute"
The officer instantly decided not to
play anysfurther with the raw recruit.
and the rifle was promptly surrendered

ture." Another sort Of a club is the
Castilian club, which had a meeting not
long ago with a paper on Royal Chapels
of Cathedrals and Converts and Burial
Places Of Spanish Sovereigns." This
wasn't a very enlivening subject, but the

ceiving from a member the autograph of

The sketchine Of the Masters.

One Of the wonders of a collection OF
drawings of the old masters is how they
worked with anything that came to
hand-with crayon, chalk, charcoal,
sepia, india ink or silver point They
model you a hand or arm or whole fig
ure from the life with as much appar-
ent ease and certainty as a baker molds
a loaf. mol have they any care as to how
they arrive at the result-a wash. a
rub, a scratch, does the business-the
light of heaven shines in smear of chalk,
and the darkness of the inferno is re-
Yealed in a smudge of ink.
Probably because they served a long
and hard apprenticeship, had grown up
i'll studios and workshops, had been
licked with the mahlstock and had
paint pots thrown at their heads, did
they acquire this easy, infallible meth
cd of theirs. Not that this explains the
whole Of the mystery, but it may 60
part of tie way.-Ali the Year Round.

Huge Monsters weighing From One Hun
dred to six Hundred Pounds
Chris Schmidt, q longshoreman,
caught three black sea bass recently,
weighing 22I, 337 and 376 pounds re-
spectively. After hooking his game he
tied the end Of the line to a powder key
and let the big fish run around in the
bay until exhausted. when he pulled it
IN and killed it.
This land locked bay of San Diego
and the kelp bed at the harbor mouth
is a favorite home for the black sea
bass. or jewish, as it is commonly
called Catching these fish is excellent
sport They weigh from 100 to 600
pounds and in appearance are much
like the small mouthed black bass of
eastern lakes. Along hand line the size
of a window sash cord, q large hook of
quarter inch iron. baited with a white
fish, an AK and a rowboat are all the
tackle needed for this sport
The baitcd hook is dropped to the
vigorous bite and the fish almost hooks
itself. Then the fun begins. The long
line plays out with the rapidly Of a
whale line when the harpoon strikes
home. The jewish tires more quickly
than the whale. The man in the bow
of the rowboat begins TO take up the
slack line. This rouses the fish. Away
he darts again and stops. The slack is
pulled in again The efforts of the fish
become less vigorous. The line is made
fast in the bow. The helmsman is
warned to look out The fish begins to
run away. The line tightcns. This time
it does not play out. The fish. feeling
the weight of the boat, strives hard to
get away from it
Faster and faster goes the boat as
the captive fish tows it seaward until
the bow is pulled down almost beneath
the waves, and it is sometimes necessary
to put out the oars and attempt to re-
tard the dangerous progress. By degrees
the fish gets tired coping with such
heavy odds and finally allows itself to
be drawn alongside the boat. A blow
Gil the head with an ak ends the fight.
