Capt. Geo. T. RanIett and the vigiIant


The Boston Sunday Herald of Oct 4th had
two pages devoted to the work of officials at
the quarantine stations at that port, includ-
ing half tone illustrations of the quarantine
steamer Vigilant and her commander, Cart
George I. Ranlett, who is a Waldo county
man. He has been many years in the SER
vice, and has not only the reputation of be-
ing very efficient officer but has a record
as life saver. The Herald says:
The boarding of incoming vessels from
the board Of health's steamer Nigilant is nc
child's play, even in the best of weather.
and when it becomes necessary-as it was
for several days recently, while the boat
laid off in order that her boilers might be
cleaned-to board from a row boat, the task
looks appalling to a landsman. 1t is not so
difficult to board sailing vessels as ocean
steamers, because there is less climbing to
be done. The Vigilant is quite a sizabe
boat when seen by herself, but alongside
one of the great liners she looks like a min
now by whale. Capt. Ranlett, who COM
mands the Nlgilant, is a veteran with many
years experience at this work. He slides
his shapely craft up alongside so deity that
in smooth water, though both vessels are
going along at fair speed, the jar of their
contact wouldn't spill glass Of water set
on deck But the lofty sides of the big
steamer tower far above the top of the Vigil
lant's smokestack, and when the boarding
physician starts to climb the ladder set on
the deck of the health boards boat, he takes
chances that to a layman seem extra haz-
ardous " When there is a heavy sea on,
the feat is still more difficult of accomplish
ment. The smaller craft, tossed about by
the waves, makes very unstable base for
the boarding ladder, and it is often neces-
sary to abandon it altogether and jump for
rope ladder hung over the side of the ves-
sci to be boarded 1t is a wonder that no
body has been drowned in performing the
peril Gus duty

Whether large or small hats will be

remains an open question; the former
although very picturesque are heavy and
expensive, difficult to keep in place and

hats are graceful in appearance, due in a
great measure to the popularity of velvet
or ostrich plumes, and a severe contour
is sometimes noticeable in large hats; but
even then, five or six velvet folds soften
the stiff edge. Colored taffeta ribbon
bound with black velvet is shown by the
piece, and small round hats may be made
throughout of velvet bound ribbon loops
on strong net foundation; the loops
being comparatively small near the edge
of the hat, rising higher as they approach
the top, usually terminating in plume of

bound with black velvet. White feathers,
lace or aigrettes are used with black or
colored hats, and very wide gilt passemen-

Antics of the Sand Hill Crane.

A sand hill crane is a very bright
bird. A Recreation writer says that
its very name Is synonymous of Wig.
Iance and alertness: It feeds on the
treeless plains or in the barren Wheat
stubble, where it can see a long way
beyond gunshot. Or one of flock is
posted as sentinel, and this bird stands
with bill half open ready to give an
alarm. 1t eau be killed by decoying
1t with pasteboard figures cut to prop
er size and shape and painted, buf
mounted birds are better. A pit is
dug deep enough to conceal man,
the decoys are put out and the cranes
are shot as they come over. The best
region to shoot them is in the Colum-
bla River watershed and south of it ID
the Pacific Coast States.
When one shoots bird of the size
and build of crane in midair, it col
lapses, like a card house or a tent.
But such apparent collapses are some.
times deceptive, as, for instance:
Before could reach him he scared
OF into the air with wheeling flight.
Again he hit the ground with fearful
violence, but again he got on his feet.
hunnlng up, thinking to get him alive
for decoy, tried to tap him on the
head and stun him. He showed fight,
and L used my gun as 1 backed off
and he took to his wings"
The sand hill crane is something of
a fighter of men if wounded, and the
only safe crane is dead one. Their
bills are long and sharp and are capa-
BILE OF putting out a mans eve.
The sand hill crane has some curious
habits that make him of more than
passing interest to the student of
birds. Out on the pIairies parties of
them have balls in the spring, to
which the select birds seem to be in
vited. These balls are picturesque
affairs from the human standpoint.
There are curious dances, which are
sort of solitary waltzes or pretty slow
jigs. Sometimes the birds leap over
one another's backs and flop their
wings, giving their peculiar cry. Some
times rival birds have fierce duals, us
ing their keen bills like lances, battle
axes and swords.

larger horses, but retain much of the

The most successful experiment ofthis
kind was made by an enterprising
stockman, who, in 1890, transported a
number Of ponies of Castilian and
Canadian extraction from Nevada to
his ranch on the beach for the purpose

many ways to the beach pony, being

no larger, and the result was in every
