Refinement II, Serving Food

Refinement in serving food, the use
of pretty dishes and clean nspery,
having hot food hot, and cold food
cold, is the difference between home
cooking and riding house cooking.
The idea seems to prevail among
boarding house keepers that what
boarders want is variety, and variety
is given, often at the expense of quail.

preparation. The things that should
be not come to the table in luke.
warm condition, and cold things are
anything but cold in reality, In the
whole bill of fare, there will be not
ono single thing that is properly pre-
pared, or perfectly served. A single
chop, hot roll and cup of coffee,
all perfect in their way and properly
served, will make an angel OF q crank,
when dozen half.cooked dishes,
served in slovenly maner, will simp
ly drive one into n passion. Wash

WOODSTOCK. VT. SATURDAY. APRIL TO- 1897.

tered the cabin, and as I was good TO,
nothing, needed no more urging
than the mate to remain in my posi-
tion.
Prescott went first, holding his pis
tol in one hand and lantern in the
other, while Bob closely followed with
his cutlass. We saw them descend the
hatchway. All was still, and then
heard the single exclamation from
Prescott:
ooh, my God!"
This was followed by terrible roar,
quick succession OF pistol shots, and
then all was still again. The next
moment both Prescott and Rackstay
Bob emerged to view, covered from
head to foot with blood.
"Come aboard" said they. "The
danger is over"
The next instant we were on deck.
I rushed to the hole, and gazed down.
Merciful heaven! what did / behold?
By the dim light OF the lantern we
beheld the mangled body OF Captain
Luster. The head and one of his limbs
were gone, and there was scarcely a
semblance OF humanity in the remains
before us. Near him was the gaunt,
terrible form of an expiring Bengal
tiger, killed by the bullets, cutlass
and dagger of Prescott and Backstay
Bob.
The two latter, on entering tue
cabin, saw the mutilated body OF Cap
tain Luster. A low growl warned them
of danger, and as Prescott turned his
gaze he saw the tiger crouching and
in the very act Of spriuging. Drop
ping his lantern he fired his revolver,
and, US the terrible animal bore him
to the hoor he drew his dagger and
stabbed him again and again. The
needle.pointed instrument reached his
heart, which, united with the slashing
blows of Backstay Bob, settled his
hash before he could inhict any ma
terial injury.
We now made critical examination
of the place. A number OF human
bones strewed the floor, and several
articles Of wearing apparel, which
seemed to indicate that the place had
been tenanted by two human beings
of opposite sexes, and had probably
been torn to pieces by the tiger. The
room was long and low, extending the
whole length of the vessel, and hav.
ing at either extremity massive iron
chain, terminating in heavy ring at
one end, the other being fastened by a
strong staple to a beam in the vessels
side.
The brute had chain to his neck
and had 3een confined to one corner
of the room by delicate iron ring,
which had been put there to be
broken. Over the centre OF the room
was written something in IN Indian
dialect, which was pronounced by the
mate (who had spent several years in
India) to read:
II have sought II have found that
which l sought-vengeance.
Carefully removing the body of the
captain to the little boat, we scuttled
the mysterious craft, and saw it sink
to the bottom Of the ocean. Shortly
after, the captain was wrapped in his
winding.sheet und followed.
The strange, awful tale regarding
the old craft we never learned. 1t
ever remained to US all decided
mystery of the sea.-New York News.

regular $100 wheel Of Q well.known

regular 800 wheel Of Q well-known
make, weighs twenty-five pounds, and
has no special features except that it
has step on each side in the rear. in
stead Of on only one side. This slight
variation was made for the special ac.
commodation OF the prisoner who has
to stand behind. Mr.. Messenger says
that the only changes he would sug.
gest in the construction OF wheels il
that the spokes ought to be made
heavier and the pedal cranks thicker.
With these changes he thinks the
strength would be increased in such .
way as better to suit his purposes.
Instead OF using the toe OF his foot for
pedaling, he uses the hollow, close to
the heel. By so doing he thinks he
gains in extra strength what he may
lose in speed, and, OF course, strength
is needed in propelling wheel with q
prisoners extra weight on it. He is
contemplating buying tandem, on
WHICH lie expects to be able to bring in
two prisoners at time instead of
one.
Mr.. Messenger claims that the BIZ
cycle has numerous advantages over
the horse for the uses Of peace
officer. He claims that it is not only
safer AMI more noiseless, but that it is
cheaper and far speedler. He got his
wheel last May, and has spent only
sixty.five cents on it for repairs up to
date. AS to speed. he recently rode
from Speer to Whitesboro, stopping
along the way to summons three wit.
nesses, AMI still covered the nineteen
miles in less than two hours. Con.
sidering the stops. it would have taken
an extra good horse to have done that
we'll. As to the safety of bringing in
prisoners in this way, it is only fsir to
observe that this doubtless depends
much on the officer himself. Mr..
Messenger is a man Of powerful build,
and has the reputation OF being as
brave Texan as ever faced bullets and
guupowder. He is by no means a man
whom the average citizen would care
to get into fight with. In the case
of an officer OF different kind, this
device might or might not work so
