A FAMOUS YACHTS FATE.
Commodore Colts Dauntless, Anchored, q
Floating Memorial.

Commodore Colts Dauntless, Anchored,
Floating Memorial.
Full many large and handsome
yacht has lost her owner because he has
tired of her, or, again, because areduced
income forced him to abandon the ex-
travagant luxury, but here is one that,
losing her master by his untimely death,
has been specially provided for in her
declining years. SteadSst unSo the end,
she was not sold off for half price to get
rid of her, but, like faithful dog or
horse that has outlived its days Of use-
fulness, has been allowed to finish out
her life in quiet repose
1t is only few years ago that the
schooner yacht Dauntless was one of the
very stanchest boats afloat. In race
across the Atlantic with the Coronet she
did herself proud Her commander was
a commodore, and her graceful form
was a familiar figure in the great yacht
ing world. Now, with sails forever
furled, with pennants hauled down for
the last time and housing canvased over,
she tugs at an anchor that seems des-
tined never to rise again.
The master whom she thus serves in
spirit was in life Commodore Caldwell
H. Colt, the only child of the late Colo
mel Samuel Colt, the arms manufactur-
er. He died at Punta Gorda, Fla, about
three years ago, while off OH cruise.
This circumstance, together with his
fondness for the boat, led his wealthy
mother to preserve it, though no longer
of use, just as others lay away in
drawer the toys of dead children. So it
is that the yacht idles her life away, a
silent memorial. In further remem-
brance of the dead man g yachting career
the new Colt memorial house in Hart
ford. costing several hundred throusand
dollars, bears on its facade beautiful
reproduction of the Dauntless in sculp-
tured stone and many other suggestions
of the sea.
Anchored off Essex, few miles up
from the mouth of the Connecticut river.
the good old yacht is now living out her
life Of ease. It is said that she will
never again 60 into commission--cer-
tainly not so long as the mother lives.
The spot is quiet, secluded and all that
retired favorite could ask for in her
old age, and the same waters that lap
her side flow, 40 miles up stream, with
in stones throw Of the celebrated fac
tory whose machinery produced the
wealth that purchased and maintained
the boat. .-Brooklyn Eagle

You are in paradise land Of peace.
The smoky city is miles distant. No
village looms in sight. But one solitary
habitation breaks the monotony, II, in
deed, it can be called monotony. Pas
toral solitudes stretch out on every hand.
The hills. beautifully rounded, clad in
all hues. heathered, benty. gorsy. grassy.
descend with gentle. slope to the green
meadow where Tweed's we'll rises in its
cooling pool. Here at the fountain head
it is only some three yards round, no
more than bubbling spring-a well"
caller, clear, inspiring-where you may
stoop down and drink and experience in
its delightsome refreshment thrill Of
poetic rapture from q scene so gloriously
Arcadian. One is tempted to muse at
the shrine by the place of the old pill
grim cross and to read into Tweed's
source parable of human life, with its
first pure fow unmoved by storm and
tempest, and as yet untainted by the
gathering years.
Round about Tweeds we'll there still
cling to several places certain names
that recall the historic associations of
long dead days. With the passing CEN
turies the whole aspect Of the district
has changed. Now it is bare and tree
less waste. The wind sweeps unhindered
from farthest glen and hilltop. And yet

missionary zeal moving him to plant
churches in the most outlying parts of
his province; Gwenddolen, prince Of the
| Cymri, resolutely defending his ances-
trail Druidism; Rydderch Hael Of Ro-
man birth, hero of the new Christian
| faith, and Arthur, shadowy and mystic,
| with his knights of brave renown, ready
| to face every danger and to follow their
liege lord into all his bloody battles.
OF all these many traditions still sur

GARDEN AND ORCHARD.

Cutting out is the only remedy for
peach borers.
Successful gardening depends upon
Sgood manure pile.
No fruit pays for judicious pruning
or thinning better than the pear.
In the fall, after the leaves drop, IA
good time to prune the grape vines.
When the ground Is frozen an inch
or two deep is the best time to mulch
Btrawberries.
One advantage in mulching is that It
in measure preVents q too early
growth in the spring.
One reason why plants do better IN
the kitchen than any other room Il
because of humidity in the air.
After apples have been kept few
weeks they should be sorted over, as
some good ones will show defects later

a breast plate in double rig has been the
difficulty of so attaching It to the yoke
that the horse might hold back the load
easily. The accompanying illustration

And to join them heart and hand.

Make no delay,
Come from every household

Bring your country friends along,
And don't be afraid,
For here is where the cornerstone,
OF liberty is laid.
'Tis here the boys resolve TO be,
Both practical and wise,
And prove the bone and sinew,
OF the country that we prise.
The girls here too, determine,
With hearts of loYe and truth,
To make the most Of learning,
In the early days Of youth.
