THE LATEST IS OUT.
J. CROCK EFT,

A man was travelling in Texas
recently and tells the following
joke on a dutch barber, who
when he went to "spcing" it gt'
it slightly mixed. 1t goes like
this: A man asks you: "Havt
you heard the story about the
two dirty collars?" You are
supposed to answer NO. Ant
then the man says: "That's one
on you"
A dutch barber who had beer
sold on this joke concluded to try
it on the next customer who came
into his shop. So as he was get
ting ready to shave the next call
or he asked him:
"Haf you heard dot stor!
about der two dirty ccllars"
"No," answered the customer
"vel dots Won you got on."-

Varied Duties in Field and Wood
Faithfully Performed by Members of
the Craft
Besides hawking, other old fashioned
country pursuits on the border line of
sport are being revived. Decoymen,
swanherds, rabbiters, warreners, lake
keepers, marshmen, net fishermen for
private estuares, water bailiffS, trout
and salmon rearers, greyhound walkers,
trainers of field dogs, each year adds to
the staff employed on our estates. Be-
sides these are the battalions of grouse
keepers and moor watchers, and further
north still that sterling body of men
from whom Lord Lovat has recruited
regiment of scouts, the stalkers and gill
lies of the Scotch deer forests. The lat
ter are specialists of a marked kind; so
are the decoymen. but most of the 9TH

with one of the craft whose preserve

covers, a broad and a marsh In add
ton to looking after the first and rear
ing his pheasants, he gathered and sold
the eggs of large cutlery" on the
broad, looked after the nests of eleven
kinds of ducks and wildfowl on the
edges of the broad and in the marsh,
and managed the fishing, which had
reputation to be maintained for big
pike and monstrous cells. Modern feel
ing for wild fowl has added to the in

it has made it more difficult to succeed

One Cuttleffsh With Tentacles Twenty
five Feet Long-Another Measuring
Forty-four Feet.
On the coasts of Cornwall the largest
forms are readily caught on the fisher
mans hook and an Objectionable COM
panionship is sometimes the result.
This was the case recently near Meva-
gissey. On a dark autumn night, in a
small boat, Samuel Kelly was fishing on
the high rocks off the Griffin Headland,
when one of these devilfish took his
bait, and with the usual effort was
hauled on board. But his difficulty was
to get the hook to continue his work
for he had been successful in catching
several pollock and conger, and the mo-
ment he touched the brute some of its
clammy tentacles would embrace his
arm. holding him to the spot, for its
other arms were fastened around the
thwart Soon the beast became so vio-
lent that it really made him fear it. He
made a supreme effort to get his hook,
but the creature fastened its largest
suckers on the back of his right hand,
and in the battle he had to drop his line
and with the nails of his left hand to
dig the suckers out of his flesh, for they
seemed to bury themselves there. After
this experience there was no more doubt
or indecision in the fight, for Selling a
sharp knife he quickly cut the hook
from it's hold, upon which the cutie
crept away to another part of the boat.
But this did not finish Mr.. Kel1y's night
work, for on again throwing out his line
he had a still heavier haul, and when 1t
came 70 the Waterline he could not get
1t an inch further, although he used all
his strength, for the line was new and
stronger than he could break.
In this dilemma he had to hold on
tight. and on looking over the side by
the aid of a pickering light he found
himself glazing into the eyes OF anoth-

payment of interest on the debentures.
The raison d'etre of the whole line from
Salisbury to Beira is, of course, the de-
velopment Of Rhodesia, which thus gets
a three hundred and seventy-three mile
railway journey to the sea on the east
coast as an alternative to the 1850 miles
from Bulu to Cape Town on the south.
Eventually the Cape railway, when
now has its terminus at Buluwayo, will
be extended via Gwelo to meet the line
at Salisbury, and Cape Town will then
be in direct railway communication
with Beira, a total length of two thou
sand miles of continuous railway being
available for this purpose. At the pres
ent moment however, there Is no rail-
way between Salisbury and Buluwayo,
a distance of two hundred and eighty
miles, and the ordinary traveller pro
ceeding from the one place to the other
does so either by coach, which accom-
plishes the journey in five days and
costs twelve pounds, or by bullock wag-
on, which is both slower and cheaper.
The Beira -Umtali line was originally
constructed on a two foot gauge, the
carriages oVerhansing the wheels to
about the same extent on each side.
The Umtali- Salisbury line, however,
was made on the three foot six inch
standard of the Cape railway system,
and the Beira railway is now being re-
laid, so that it now corresponds with the
same standard, with the exception OIL
some sixty miles, thus avoiding the de-
lay, inconvenience and expense of trans
shipment. Good progress has already
been made with this work, but without
any interruption in the service, the only
difference, until the transformation mas
been completed, being that the change
from the one system to the other is now
made before Umtali Is reached
The influx into Beira Of the consider
able body of troops who will form Sir
Frederick Carrington's force will natu-
rally tax the resources of COMPARE
lively new line, which has hitherto been
used mainly for the conveyance of
goods. But the Beira company has for
ty-eieht engines available, the rolling
stock is constantly being increased, and
though the present supply or ordinary
railway carriages is limited, there is an
abundance of trucks, which, with COW
ering to protect against the sun, seem
To be preferred by the average soldier
in his journeys across country, to the
ordinary railway carriage, and would
no doubt be especially preferred to the
diminutive carriages still run on the
two foot section of the Beira line. The
only difficulty that is anticipated is in
respect to the conveyance of horses, but
there is a certain number of horse boxes
available, and there are also some COW
cred in goods trucks which might be
adapted for the purpose. Happily too,
the line is under the charge of an agent,
Mr., A. l.. Lawley, who possesses in
domitable energy and resource, and it is
regarded as certain that from his head
quarters at Beira he will do verything
that is physically possible to facilitate
