the feathers were sixty six eggs. 1

NIGHT ON A wARSHIP
The Regular Duties and the Time For
General Relaxation.

The first call" is sounded again five
minutes before sundown, when the en-.
gine and the jack halyards are manned
and staylight made ready for hoist.
ing to indicate the ships whereabouts
during the night. Then the color call
follows at sundown as the flag is low
cred, and saluted by all as it reache
the deck. The assembly is then sound
ed for evening quarters and muster,
but there Is no drill.
AS rule, it is just after sunset when
the buglo call is sounded to "stand by
hammocks." That brings all the crew
on deck, and they stand in silence close
out to the ships side beside the ham,
mock netting. in two ranks facing the
stern, until the boatswains 3 mate re.
ports 10 the officer of the deck, "All
up and aft" The latter then orders,
"Uncover-pipe down." aud in obedi-
ence to this order and the boatswain's 3
whistle the MEETINGS are thrown open,
and the hammocks are served out and
taken to their proper places. Each
hammock has printed on it number,
and that same number is on the hooks
below decks where that has to be
swung, 80 that each man sleeps in the
same place every night, and that place
is called his "billet."
Unless, now, boat is called away
there will be no more bugle calls until
five minutes of nine clock. The period
is one of complete relaxation, and 10
spent by the sailors in smoking, spin
ming yarns, singing, playing on musi.
cal instruments and dancing. AT five
minutes of nine the first call is again
sounded as a warning to the crew to
prepare to turn into their hammocks
and go to sleep. Then at nine O'Clock
comes the call known as tattoo"
This tattoo is the survival of an old |
custom' In the "old navy" it used to |
last fifteen minutes, and was perform
ed with drum and fife, playing all |
manner of airs and quicksteps accord
ing to the fancy or ingenuity of the
drummer and the fifer. 1t is even said |
to have been handed down from a
period of superstition, when they used
to make hullabaloo after dark to
drive the devils out Of the ship. AT the
last note of tattoo the ships bell is
struck twice for nine o'clock, and the
whistle sounds, "Pipe
down." Every man must then turn
into his hammock, whether he be
sleepy or not, for an inspection is made
by the master at arms to see that all
have done 30. Then sounds that last,
long, mournful call, "taps. June st.

Here is tiger with a glass eye.
Every menagerie and geological garden

look after the many ills that wild
beasts in captivity are heir to, says the
New York Journal At Stuttgart the
services of an eminent oculist we're re-
Gently invoked in behalf Of tawny
monarch of the Bengal jungle. The
beast had been suffering for long time
with an incurable affection OF the eye.
Removal of the optic was determined
upon. In the operation cocaine was
used, chloroform being out of the ques-
ton, as members of the feline race sue
cumb very easily to the fumes of the
anaesthetic. Several strong keepers
were called in to hold the animal down
during the operation. He was bound
and muzzled. During the cutting open
Of the lid, an operation which was
necessary to loosen the sinews, the tiger
showed little uneasiness, but 1t evil
IDENTIFY suffered much when the muscles
and the nerves of the eye were cut
through. Immediately after the opera
ton the animal became very quiet and
soon appeared to be much relieved. A
tiger with one eye is an un-canny look
ing object. A week later, when the
wound had healed, a glass eye with the
proper expression of ferocity was intro
duced into the cavity. This seemed to
perplexity, and he has since sat for
hours at time endeavoring to rub out
the glass optic. The eye was specially
constructed from measurements made
of the one taken out. 1t Is the first in
stance on record of wild animal being
supplied with an artificial eye.
