CHINESE BOAT BUILDERS.
Turn Ont Ugly and UnwieIdy Craft,
with Flimsy Material, But
seaworthy.

The main features Of Chinese shiI
and boat building are the light, and
apparently frail, nature of the mate
rial with which vessels of every sizt
and shape are constructed; the clumsy
form given to his work by the celes'
tial artificer, and the marvellous ease
and safety with which craft, both
large and small, ride out the toughest
weather on sea and river, says the
London Mail.
This last is no rash statement, the
writer well remembering witnessing,
when himself sailing the China sea In
the teeth of a typhoon, the total
wrecking of more than one European
vessel, while the junks, and even small
native boats within sight, simply
reefed or struck their mast sails, and
triumphantly passed with the British
ship through the Ly-ee-noon pass
into the sheltered harbor OF Hong
Kong.
The reason for all this Is not far to
seek. The beam Of the junks is usual
~ broad; they sit upon the water
like a fiat Moorish arch. Their sterna
are round, and by consequence, resist
i've Of any tendency to take aback."
A peculiar and noticeable thing
about them is the Brobdingnagian
"eye' which glares out from each
side of the prov. This is an ancient
superstition.

term be allowable, are in many parts

Here is enthroned the image of the
god OF waters, before which the aro-
matte joss stick is forever burning.
The Chinese sailor is nothing If not
d slave TO his faith in omens, and all
and sundry the supernatural beliefs
OF his countrymen.
He is, when he likes, a fairly good
hand on board ship, but, being by ma
ture and educative example a coward,
he more often than not seeks to save
his skin at the expense of his duty.
is very little difference in form
and ftment between the war junk and
the commercial variety.
The weapons are not Of the same
description as are those in the few
European-built steam warships pos
sessed by the Chinese government. OF
a long obsolete pattern, they are not
very formidable except to themselves
China has not assimilated western
IDEAS with the eagerness and rapidity

matter Of naval progress, whatever
she may have done Of late, as we are
told, in the acquisition and mighty

CARE OF A GUN.
some Practical Advice From an Old

some Practical Advice From an Old
A veteran hua:..esn lays this down as a
point which must be carefully attended
to; Never under any circumstances
lay away your gun at night without
cleaning it. Never mind how tired you
are, attend to it at once. There should
be no next day about it." Not few
OF the older hunters would profit by ac-
cepting this advice. The veteran quot
ed above says he got this idea from
his father, who loved his guns and
dogs almost as well as he loved his
children. The old man gave his boy a
single barreled nuzzle loader, which
was for many day the youngsters
treasure OF treasures, and was never
allowed to get rusty. Before being put
away for the winter 1t was carefully
cleaned and oiled and was once in a
while taken down and examined. II a
speck of rust appeared anywhere IL
was at once removed. After an outing
among wild pigeons, squirrel or grouse
he removed the barrel from the stock,
swabbed It out with hot water and
wiped 1t out with clean rag Then
he fired little powder. just to be sure
that no moisture was left, after which
an oil rag was used assiduously. Then
stock and barrel were rejoined and the
weapon was put away for the night
The breech-loader is much less
troublesome. but the same principle
obtains in both cases. BY using care
such as is Indicated this hunter has for
fourteen years kept gun in first class
condition. though it has done great
deal of work
