Puppies and Flower Feds.

We once watched the united efforts of
a litter of setter puppies, the particular
object being the destruction Of fine
bed of geraniums, an enterprise which
promised maximum of result" with
a set off Of a mere trifle Of an effort, if
once protecting fence of wire netting
could be surmounted. One after another
the puppies charged the fence, only to
fall back bafhed, but not discouraged.
Failure only made them more deter
mined. With savage banks and growls
they returned again to the attack until,
after desperate leap and scramble, the
biggest puppy rolled over among the
geraniums. For a moment he was al
most awed by his success. He squeaked
and sat down, but only for moment.
Then he hurled himself into the thickest
part of the bed and tore the geraniums
to pieces.

In Catskill the Famous Actor Taken For

ferson. II accepted, and when l arrived
was met by the president and other
members of the club, among whom was
young Nicholas Vedder, who claimed to
be lineal descendent of the original
Old Nick. 1 was taking cup of tea at
the table in the hotel,'' continued Mr..
Jefferson, ''when L was attracted to the
colored waiter, who was giving a
graphic and detailed account of the
legend Of the Catskill mountains to one
of the boarders who sat nearly opposite
me.
yes, sab, said the waiter, Rip

THROWING THE DISCUS.

It Will BE Feature In an Athletic Clubs
Games
The Knickerbocker Athletic club of
New York, an institution famous for
its wide awake management, has nov
Ell feature among the events arranged
for its annual games. The club has i'm
ported the Grecian game of discus
throwing, and will hereafter give it
lace among the clubs regular pastimes.
So much curiosity was aroused by the
!ucccss Of Captain Garrett of Princeton
III this event at the recent Olympic
Cames that description of the implo-
ment and the method of using it may
be interesting.
The discus is perfect circle, having
steel edge about half an inch in diam
oter, inside the steel edge there being u
convexed surface of lignum Vita 90
inches i'll width; then in the center is IL
solid piece of brass inches in diameter.
either surface of which is fiat. 1t reseIn-
bles i'll shape two saucers placed togeth-
er face to face, the whole being inches
in diameter and weighing seven pounds.
In delivering it the athlete has lex
9 feet square, instead of the foot cir
Gle which is used for the hammer and
the shot. Unlike these events, the dis
lance is not measured on q line with
the center Of the box, but from tho
front edge, or, in case the discus goes
to che side, it is measured at line ex-
tended at right angles to the front Of tine
boX-that is, the same as the running
| broad jump. 1t will thus be seen that
the object in throwing the discus is to
make it go as nearly in a straight line
as possible. In fact in ancient times
there was such an event as throwing the
discrs at an object.
The step used in throwing it is some
what peculiar In the case of right
handed thrower the athlete stands with
his right foot just inside the rear line
OF the box facing the direction III which
he desires to throw the discus, with his
left foot extended well forward, the
discus held in his right hand in a rcr-
pendicular position-that is, with NE
edge across the fingers inside the hand
and the discus lying against the palm
of the hand and the lower portion of
the forearm. He then raises the right
hand until the discus is almost over tine
left shoulder, where he steadies the low
er edge of it with the left hand He
then draws the right hand down and
back swiftly, taking a step with the
right foot just as the discus reaches its
lowest point. AS he completes the draw
ing back of the arm to get the throw
he takes another step forward with the
right foot and gives as near as possible
scaling motion to the discus by ex-
tending his hand quickly forward. -

THE BEAUTY OF A SHIP.
Mrs. Stoves Fascinating Description OF q
Vessel Under Sail.


Mrs. Stowe, i'll 1.-THE Pearl of Orr's
Island, gives this fascinating tescrip-
son Of a ship under sail: "What is
there belonging to this workaday world
Of ours that has such fund of never
failing poetry and grace as a shipi A
ship is q beauty and mystery wher-
ever we see it. Its white wings touch
the regions of the unknown and tho
imaginative. They seem to us full of
the odors of quaint, strange, foreign
shores, where life, we foDdly dream,
moves in brighter currents than the
muddy, tranquil tides of every day.
Who that sees one bound outward, with
her white breasts swelling and heaving,
as if with reaching expectancy, docs
not feel his own heart swell with
longing impulse to go with her to the
faroff shores? Even at dingy, crowded
wharfs, amid the stir and tumult of
great cities, the coming in Of ship is
an event that never can lose its inter-
est. But on these romantic shores Of
Maine, where all is so wild and still
and the blue sea lies embraced i'll the
arms of dark, solitary forests, the sud-
den incoming of a ship from a distant
voyage is a sort Of romance. Who that
has stood by the blue waters of Middle
bay, engirdled as it is by green slopes
of farming land, interchangod here and
there with heavy pillows of forest trees
or rocky, pine crowned promontories,
has not felt that sense of seclusion and
solitude which is so delightful? And
then what wonderl There comes o
ship from China, drifting in like q
white cloud the gallant creaturel How
the waters hiss and foam before her
With what great, free, generous plash
she throws ont her anchors, as if she
said cheerful Well donel' to some
glorious work accomplished The very
life and spirit of strange, romantic
lands come with her. Suggestions Of
sandalwood and spice breathe through
the pine woods. She is an oriental
queen, with hands full of mystical gifts.
All her garments smell of myrrh and
cassia, out of the ivory palaces, where
by they have made her glad. No Won
der men have loved ships like birds and
that There have been found brave, rough
hearts that in fatal wrecks chose rather
to go down with their ocean love than
to leave her III the last throes of her
death agony"

charge is violation of the ritual Of

to the charge preferred by Grand
Chancellor j. j. Brown, of using the
German language 10 the opening and
closing ceremonies OF the lodge, con-
trary to the fundamental laws of the
order, occupied the entire morning

der and witnesses were intro
duced to show that Germania
lodge had violated the law of
the order in the use of foreign Ian
guage in its lodge room ceremony.
AS q defence Germania lodge raised
the question as to the jurisdiction of
the grand lodge to try the case, hold
ing that it belonged entirely to the
grand tribunal of the state to hear
and decide matters relating to the
revocation OF charters. The grand
lodge voted on the question and de-
cided by practically unanimous
vote as to its authority in the
pre- misses.
Germanis Lodge Expelled.
Then came the action on Germania
lodge and it was expelled snd it's
charter permanently revoked. The
lodge was out Of existence. how
ever, but a short interval, as an APP
plication from 60 loyal members of
the lodge for a new charter, which
had been placed in the hands of the
supreme chancellor yesterday, was
Immediately voted upon and a new
charter issued under the old name Of
Germania lodge. This matter which
has been for so many years a vexed
question and which came very nearly
leading to an enlargement between
the supreme chancellor and the grand
chancellor of Illinois, was amicably
adjusted.
Germainia lodge was in existence
90 years, and had a membership Of
$50 members. The violations OF the
fundamental laws of Pythianism. of
which it is accused, have extended
over a period of about three years.
Grand Chancellor Brown found the
question facing him as soon as he
entered upon the high functions Of
his office year ago, and added to
the perpl xltiss which it brought to
him, was the fi.mness with which the
supreme chanceliors, both Walter
