JACK TAR'S GROWL.
A Story Illustrating the Sailors
Habit of Grumbling.


The author of From Edinburgh to
the Antarctic" writing of the sailors
habit of grumbling, says: THE dinners
are all the same-that is to say, Mon
days dinners are all alike, and what
we have today we shall have this day
six months hence. Jacks forefather
this day 100 years ago had the same
menu and made the same uncompli-
mentary remarks about the dishes, and
100 years hence on this day Jacks chill
dren will growl over their salt horse
and plumless duff" The author also
tells this yarn" to illustrate that
Jacks habit of grumbling can't be
cured and must be endured:
Once upon a time there lived skip
per whose wife said to him that if she
went to sea the poor men would never
find fault with their food. Her. hus-
band took her with him on a voyage,
and the good woman attended to the
cooking in the galley herself.
The scouse was thick with fresh veg
out weevils, the meat was good, and
the duff was almost half plums, but
still the men growled.
Then the skipper's wife thought of
the hens she had brought on board to
lay eggs for her husbands breakfast.
She took them out of the coop wrung
their necks with her own fair hands,
plucked them, roasted them and sent
them to the forecastle on the cabin
china.
"Now the men," she said to herself,
will know how much we think of their
comfort"
At eight bells she stole forward to
the forecastle to listen to the praise of
her skill as cook. She looked down
the hatch and saw big black fist
plunge fork into the hen and heard a
hoarse voice growl, Il say. Bill, what
dye think this ere bloody fowl died

The London Bus.

English Travellers" says a London
correspondent OF the Boston Tran
script, "have so jeered our advertising
outrages upon architecture and scenery
that | fancied we were Of all nations
most culpable. But after seasons
residence in England l hold America
excused. Our advertising efforts are
modest, even feeble, beside those Of
our British cousins.
a London bus is mere advertis-
ing van with accommodation for pas
sengers. 1t takes almost as long to
read one through as to read a daily
paper. The destination Of the bus is
marked in inconspicuous letters, the
smallest on the canvas decorated We
hicle, and the chances of disentangling
those letters from the maze Of adver-
tising announcements about them In
time to hail the bus you want are small
or still"

PICS NEED SUNLIGHT.

A young pig is much like flower; it
must have plenty of sunlight to make it
develop and grow into usefulness.
MANY fine litter has been seriously
injured for the lack of it. A writer 10
Wallace's Farmer makes the following
sensible remarks: When farmers have
a hog house in which u number of brood
sows are having their litters, we advise
putting in cheap sash on the south
side, which can be done very easily and
at present prices at very small cost.
A brood SOW should never be allowed to
produce litter in a dark place. The
north side of the building is no place for
her at all. Choose the south side, or the
east, if nothing better can be done, and
let there be plenty of glass windows to
admit the sunlight. In the summer
time these windows can be removed and
their place taken by some kind of screen,
or, If nothing better, a coarse gunny
sack, which will admit the air and keep
out the flies if pigs are to be kept in the
building. A little attention to this
matter of light will save plenty of money
and prevent serious disappointment.

lake which looked inky black against
the snow which lay all around. Here
and there on it's borders great gray
bowlder, snow capped, but bare and
dark on its scooped out sides, stood
upon the fiat eXpanse of untrodden
snow. Nothing else, not tree, not a
bush, broke up the mOnotOnous stretch
of bleak, desOlate shore and black,
lonely pool. AS the big snowtlakes

Even the rustic in front seemed to
be impressed by the wild and awful

Cured hY Forgetting.

This is an English story, and. strange
as it may seem, it made a hit when 1t
was told at the Lambs club, says the
New York Telegraph. 1t was perpe'
trated by Lawrence dOrsay, the Eng
lish actor. Several members Of the
club spun yarns of dubious merit,
when Mr.. dOrsay in his peculiar way
began:
"Now, gentlemen, I'll relate a story"
One man present pulled out his
watch. and they all thought it was go
Ing to be a serial One or two started
to go, but the actor stopped them by
his assurance that the story wouldn't
be very long.
There was q friend of mine in Lon

memory. Then he forgot to smoke Gig
arettes, and he got well again"

NUMBER L.



A bus weighs 1920 pounds and costs
f14j. 1t is made of ash and oak except
the paneiing. which is mahogany, and
the windows are of plate glass. Before
a bus is allowed to earn its e los.
day it has to be licensed, or, as they
say, you have to get a number plate
for it." This number plate is the white
plate with black figures surmounted by
a crown seen at the tail of the bus. 1t
is provided by the police and costs f2.
Then there is wheel duty Of los. per
annum to be paid to the inland' reve-
nue..
After making these payments any
one can run bus in London wherever
he likes, subject Of course to the gen.
eral rules and regulations bearing upon
all vehicular traffic. Attached to each
bus is stud Of II horses, Of which on
ly ten, or five pairs, are worked In any
one day. thus securing a complete days
rest for each pair every sixth day. AS
a bus runs 81 miles day and five
pairs of horses are used 1t follows that
a bus horses days work Is 13 miles,
which he does in less, considerably
less, than three hours, the rate at
which he travels being between five
and six miles an hour.
This does not seem a great deal to
exact from a horse, still the work Is
hard, often involving prolonged dead
pull at the trot, and the crowded condi-
tlon of the London streets makes 1t
harder by necessitating continual devi-
ations out of the way of obstacles and
abrupt stoppages to avoid collisions

The MAINE STATE GRANGE,

/
1t was "a grand reception which the
city of Lewiston rendered the Maine
State grange, Monday evening, at City
hall, and il was "a grand body of patrons
who gathered in response to the call of
the state officers. The decorations were
fine, the programme choice and the
whole affair upon a more elaborate scale
than was ever attempted by any other
city. The boards of trade of Lewiston
and Auburn attended TO every detail and
personally looked after the comfort of
the patrons. Fully l,500 were present
at the reception and everything passed
off pleasantly. The addresses were TO
the point, and the response of State
Master Gardner happy in the extreme.
The citizens of the twin cities are TO
be congratulated over the event, and
surely the grange as body becomes of
gathering. The hotels were filled and
the attendance larger than for years.
On Tuesday came the formal opening,
with the officers all present. There is
one vacant chair and we miss the strong,
earnest face of our revered State Lee
turer, Bro. Cook. The grange lost one
of its ablest and most devoted members
when he died, and the gap in the ranks
has not been filled. This is one of the
regrets of this bright, sunny session.
The Masters address, delivered Tues
day afternoon, provoked great interest
because of the strong position taken.
The calling of the roll of members
showed that almost every grange in
Maine was represented, the attendance
being larger than in the history of the
order.
The report of that faithful officer,
Secretary Libbey, indicates the steady
growth of the order in Maine and will
be enjoyed by all friends of the grange.
V. 2. DeCoster presented resolution
which went to the committee on resolu-
tons without debate
RESOLVED: That we declare In favor of the
publishing of itemiZed accounts of expenditures
by each and all departments connected with the
state government once In two years that the
pee. lie may have opportunity 10 review the eN-
penditures of their servants.
q. NJ. Twitchell presented the follow
ing TO be referred TO the same commit
tee:
RESOLVED: That this State Grange declare
itself squafey and emphaticauy In favor of an
impartial and persistent enforcement of all laws,
and demand that those against the selling OF
Intoxicating liquors be observed and enforced
by all officials, to the end that good order, peace
and prosperity may be secured and the state OF
Maine freed from the charge of notification SO
often made at the present time.
The election of Bro. WI. Thompson
as State Lecturer will give universal
satisfaction. His rare good sense,
thorough devotion to the farm, kuOwl-
edge of agriculture and broad education
will place him in the forefront among
the workers of the future.
In selecting the two members of the
executive committee, Bro. Il. ID. Leavitt
was reelected and the new member is
Bro. 5. F. SweetSir of New Gloucester.
