tempt today to race for the cup offered
by the Newport Racing Associations but
as was the case two weeks ago, an ac-
cident stopped proceedings after tho

today for after getting a lead of a mile
CT her rival, her new and practically
untried steel mast broke about 30 feet
from the deck and her entire suit Of
sails tunbed into the water Fortu-
nateiy no one was injured
Never before had the Columbia shown
such superiority over Defender as she
did III the fragment Of the race started
today Within a few minutes after the
start she was we'll ahead and after
that seemingly did not try to incr,,as Sc
her lead. The boats. in a fine south
west breeze. were having a grand beat
to the windward when the accident oc-
Cured.
At the time of the accident Defender
was two minutes and forty seconds
astern, while a fleet of tugs and steam
yachts We're not far away. Every yes
sci was rushed to the assistance Of the
disabled boat, but it was found that
the crew were able to take care OF
themselves and they reported no one in
jured. 1t took nearly an hour to clea
away the Wrcckage and get it on board
Then. in tow Of q press tug she started

Fatal LOQuaclty.

In a New England village rich in
quaint and amusing characters John
Bates was renowned for his ability to
hold his tongue. The gift approached
genius, but John was keenly alive to
what he considered it's incompleteness,
although Of course he said nothing
about it.
He made mattresses for a living, and
one day a native of the village came
into his shop and said:
"John, what's the best kind Of q
mattress
"Husks," said John and said no
more. .
Twenty years later, SO the tradition
runs the same man came again to the
shop and asked what, in Bates opinion,
was the best kind of a mattress.
"Straw," said John.
"StrawY You told me husks was the
best!'
John gave q despairing sigh, eve
always ruined myself by talkin, said
he. -Youth's Companion,

The SOrrowful Tree.

There is a tree in Persia to which the
name ''the sorrowful tree IL given.
Perhaps because it blossoms only in the
evening.
When the first star appears in the
heavens the first bud Of the sorrowful
tree opens, and as the shades of night
advance and the stars thickly stud the
sky the buds continue gradually open
ing until the whole tree looks like one
immense white flower. On the approach
Of dawn, when the brilliancy OF the
stars gradually fades in the light Of
day, the sorrowful tree closes its flow.
ers, and ere the sun is fully risen not a
single blossom is visible. A sheet of
flower dust as white as snow covers the
ground around the foot of the tree,
which Seems blightel and withered dur
ing the day, while, however, it IL ac-
lively preparing for the next nocturnal
festival. The fragrance Of the blossoms
is like that of the evening primrose.
II the tree is cut down close to the
roots, a new plant shoots up and attains
maturity in All incredibly short time.
In the vicinity Of this singular tree
there usually grows another, which IL
almost an exact counterpart of the sor-
rowful tree, but less beautiful, and,
strange to say, 1t blooms only in the
daytime. st. Louis Globe Democrat.

When u lobster IL required, insert a
narrow bladad knife into the third joint
Of tho tail, severing the spinal cord,
This will cause instant death and II
much leas cruel than To put II into the
water alive, especially II II IL not boil
Ing, NJ the lobster then suffers n slow,
lingering death
TeTapin also shonld no mapelfHlly
killed before heing e00ked,
The eal tribe IL sAid 10 no n terrible
sufferer from mans inhNmanity 10 fish,
No difficult N II apparently to hill GELS
that people have oven ceased 10 try to
kill them ut all, II their heads We're ont
oil before they were otherwise handled,
they would nj onea no ont ct misery -
