The star. (Reynoldsville, Pa.) 1892-1946, 1899-09-20


There are few things more interest
ing in the natural history Of animals
or, indeed, more wonderful, than the
partiality which individuals Of totally
different race have exhibited for each
other. About ten years ago a friend
who was rector of rural parish in
North Wales, bought n pig at one of
his village fairs. 1t belonged to
cottager who lived nearly four miles
from the place where the fair was
held, and who had probably brought
it on foot from his cottage that morn
ing.
The pig was driven up to the rec
tory and placed in the sty, and on the
next morning my friend went to see
his new purchase and to turn him out
into the fold to take an airing, where
he was left to pick few peas that had
been thrown down to make his pas
time more agreeable.
After awhile the pig was not to be
found aud a servant was sent to see if
he had strayed back to his old home.
There he was found happy and free
among the other animals Of the cot
tage. He was again driven to his new
quarters, and confined to the sty for
nearly two days. When it was thought
he had become reconciled to his new
home or had forgotten his old one, he
was again liberated and suffered to
roam at will about the fold.
He was watched for awhile, but
seemed to be so entirely at home that
he was left and forgotten until it was
time to contine him to his own quar-
ters, when he was again sought for in
vain.
He had once more strayed TO his
old haunts, and had to be brought
back again.
On the morning following this
escape my friend went TO the sty and
found near it little brown dog,
which he then remembered he had
seen about the premises several times
since the fair, and it occurred to him
that the pig and he were acquainted
and would, if the opportunity were
offered, trot home together.
So the pig was liberated in order to
see il the surmise was correct, and
sure enough, recognition, sweet and
tender, was soon witnessed.
They were followed at respectable
distance for fully half mile, as they
diligently trotted home together, the
dog leading the way, and auxiously
looking back every now and then to
see if his friend was following.
The little dog had been missed by
his master for long periods together,
and his absence could not be accounted
for till my friend solved the mystery.
There was evidently strong attach
ment between them, but whether it
was the force of this attachment or
anxiety to look after his masters in
terests, the conduct of the dog was
equally wonderful.

the recent accident to the Columbia.
When the crosstree snapped the top
mast was loosened and fell before the
wind with such force that the steel
mainmast broke short off about half
way of its length. Next to the mast
in Importance is the bowsprit (3),
which is held down by the bowstay
and the bowstay fall (16 and III. The
main boom (4) spreads and holds fast
the lower portion OF the mainstail (A).
At the top of the mainsail is the gaff
10y, and above that is the club topsail
CD), reaching higher even than the
top Of the topmost. These are the
principal sticks in sloop yacht. The
racers are also provided with n very
important boom called the spinnaker
boom ~. This boom is removable,
and is only used when the yacht is
running full before the wird. It is
always conveniently placed on the
deck, 80 that when the wind is right
it can be instantly placed in position. 1t

guy (26). 1t is usually spread almost
opposite the mainsail, so that it gives
to the yacht practically two broad
wings, by means of which she can take
full advantage of a following wind, in
this way immensely increasing her
speed. A yacht with spinnaker set
and bellying full of wind is most
beautiful sight, resembling some huge
seagull skimming over the surface of
the water. Indeed, the sails are so
big and reach so far on each side of
the yacht that the body of the boat
itself is hardly visible. No doubt
much will be said in the reports of
the coming races about the spinnaker
and how it is set, for it is an exceed
ingly important feature in yacht rae
ing.
The principal sail OF sloop is the
mainsail GAY. 1t is held in place by
the ropes and tackle shown at (25j.
