A few years ago about fifty families

of struggling for livelihood on the
hills of their native State, began 10

they could better their condition. BY

new location that they named It "rhc

A snake tanner who had trained a
serpent to follow him around the house
and even out Of doors happened one
day to take it with him to a strange

resisted capture with bites and every

again become tame when caught is said

Flower Vases for the Table.

The day of heavy floral decoration
Of massed green and ribbon bows has
passed, and simplicity is now the de-
sirable effect. The flowers which
decorate the table are now arranged
in tall, slender Bohemian glass vases,
extremely effective in shaded green
aud pink. Two of these vases are
placed at either end of the table, and
are charmingly filled with long
stemmed pink rosebuds or pink
tulips. To complete this arrange
ment, III the centre of the table is a
low iardiniere of pink Bohemian glass,
made with an adjustable zinc lining,
filled with moss, and overgrown with
the delicately colored and sweet
scented sweet peas, or waving mass
Of pink poppies shading to deep red.
For special occasions, when elabo.
rate decorations are desired, there
may be used garlands of the princess
evergreen festooned about the table,

white cloth, and if one lives near
where it grows the dining-room may
be trimmed with it also.

LIVING ON THE WATER.
Some Families Spend Their Time ON
Their Anchored Yachts.

A wet sheet and a flowing sea has
aboard yacht, as exemplified in the
Bay Ridge Yacht Basin. in South
Brooklyn, says the New York Herald.
There ere five or six yachts there. one
of them roomy schooner craft, which
for various reasons are not in commits
sion this summer. Nevertheless the
owners and their families or their
friends live and sleep on board. On
one sloop are five young men, who 60
to skyscraper building in Nassau
street every morning and take out
two or three vivacious typewriter
girls when work is over to make
the evenings merry. They rented
the boat on condition that they
would not take her outside the
basin, and hired a retired sea cap
tain, who lives near the basin, to
look after the boat during the day
and to mess" for them. They find it
cheaper than paying board in the city
and ever so much pleasanter. Three
families wintered on yachts in the Bay
Ridge basin last winter, and they en-
joyed the experiment so much that
they talk of trying it again. The bliz-
lard and the rough weather had no
terrors for them. One sloop, the Peri,
was housed above decks very much like
those in the tales we read about Arc
tic expeditions. The families who lived
in this way were on terms of sociabil-
ity and visited every night for games
and cards. They gave a boat party
in January, and their friends in
Brooklyn who are given to assisting
at social entertainments, Joined them
in a modest little vaudeville. When
the basin was frozen solid one night
they gave skating party, with pip
ing hot supper below decks as a wind
up. There are still novelties about for
persons who know where to look for
them.
