in the water than formerly, on account OF the
removal Of several tons Of lead from her ballast,
but as there had been no opportunity for q re-
measurement. she could claim no reduction OF the
handicap because OF her shortened water-line.

TIE RIGHTS OF THE EoArs.

II was. therefore. for the Regatta Committee 20
decide what rights one boat has another when
both running almost free. They had also TO
decide whether there was any rule which allowed
the Defender to crowd the Nalkyrie across the
starting line before the gun was fired; and also
whether the Vakyre had right TO turn where she
was. She had 10 somewhere And she could
not pass leeward because the Defender was
broad on 10 her the leewar1 side. Neither did
she wish TO be crowded the line before the
gun. There was nothing for her TO do but to round

many happy hours are spent beneath

The membership is not now composed
exclusively of wheelmen, although the
large majority of active members are

musical entertainments and public re-

upon public occasions with piano re-

many prominent business men have

Ferrets and Squirrels.

Young ferrets can be easily raised by
smuggling them in among litter of
kittens, and when Cincinnati few
years ago experienced a revival of the
speckled rat craze | utilized hutch OF
the little nuisances by making them
adopt a hatful of young gray squirrels.
There were about two dozen rats in
the wire box, and at sight of the new
corners, committee of females issued
from their bsldoirs in a bundle of cot.
ton waste and subjected the bushv-
tailed strangers to close scrutiny.
The little woodland orphans had their
eyes open, and at first tried to avoid
familiarities by clambering up the
wire netting, but were speedily pulled
down and gently but firmly dragged
into the interior of the cotton thicket.
The next morning one of the squirrels
was dead, and, suspecting the cause OF
the suspicious-loobing sores about its
neck, l removed all the buck rats
from the nursery and noticed that
within few hours their grass widows
trusted their foster-children on the
outside of the cotton fort and soon
joined them in their scram bles on the
floor of the cage. The four survivors
had been divided between the presiding
matrons of the esta blishment, and in
the rout of domestic scrimmage
always flew for protection to their in
dividual foster-mothers.- IN. Y. Jour.
