down with a lace yoke or putting a

and the body of the skirt.

TWO LOVES OF A SAILOR.

Oh, an old man sat and b1inked T. the sun,
And gong Of the sea sang he.
he sang song of mariner bold
And his sweetheart SO true the sea-
Sing 10, 20 no, sing heyI
Ger crested pillows, through dashing spray,
With sails a-bulging, she scuds away
Away, away, DER the waters gray
Away through the dying dayi
Sing no. sing heyl
Oh, the mariner bold his ain love pressed
To his heart and her sweet lips kiss
sweet lips that swore they would e'er be true
When he sailed away i the mist.
Sing hey, oh, hey, We hol
Through the singing tops the wild winds blow.
into the dank mists the ship doth go,
And the mariner sings as he rolls below,
my love will be true, / trowl'
Sing hey, 20 hol
Oh the lassie ashore forgot her man,
But his sweetheart, the sea, proved truel
She lulled him to rest on her heaving breast,
And her white arms about him threw,
Sing no. ye no, sing hey
He went to his one true love that day
At peace in her arms fore'er and aye
Less lasting the lasse's peace, they say
She wed with a lump O. clayl
Sing no, sing hey!

We are again overwhelmed with a

especially when the tendency is to have

Skirts are as much rufiied as ever,
but few of the ruffies are put on in
straight lines. They usually dip in
front and are raised slightly in the
back to go with the long fronts. A
favorite way is to put ruffies in a series
of toothed effects or to head them with
wide, diamond shaped applications of
lace and tuckings. A popular way Of
making the wide gored ruftle is to lay

Natives Who Walked Over Red Hot Stoncs

Two New Zealand medical men, Drs.
Hocken and Colquohoun, recently vis-
tied Fiji, where they had an opportu-
nifty of witnessing the now rare fire
ceremony of the natives. 1t is so rare
that the power is now confined to a

Suva. These people are able to walk.
nude and with bare feet, across the
white-hot, stony pavement of huge
oven.
An attempt was made on this occa-
sion to register the heat, but when the
thermometer had been placed for
few seconds about five feet from the
oven it had to be withdrawn, as the
solder of the covering began to melt.
The thermometer then registered 2S2
degrees, and DR.. Hocken estimates
tnat the range was over 400 degrees.
The fire walkers then approached,
seven in number, and in single file
walked leisurely across and around the
oven. Heaps of hibiscus leaves were
then thrown into the oven, causing
clouds of steam, and upon the leaves
and within the steam the natives sat
or stood. The men were carefully ex-
amined by the doctors before and af-
ter the ceremony.
The soles of their feet were not thick
or leathery, and were not in the least
blistered. The men showed no symp-
toms of distress, and their pulse was
unaffected. Preliminary tests failed
to show that there had been any spe-
cial preparation. Both doctors, while
denying that there was anything mi
raculous about the experiment, ex-
pressed themselves as unable to give
any scientific explanation.-London

WHAT FISH EAT.


There are many thousand species
of fishes, and naturally there is a
great diversity in their food. Never
theless, it is possible to divide 1t into
seven distinct classes. Now, all the
animal life rests on foundation of
vegetables. Plants store up the vital
forces in the air and sunshine and
pass them on to the great army of
Vegetarians, who in their turn yield
them up to the animals which live on
flesh. One or two additional steps
may sometimes be interposed, but the
result is the same. A caterpillar eats
a cabbage, an ichneumon fly quarters
her brood on the caterpillar, an in
sect-eating bird snaps up the fly, and
a bird of prey pounces upon the fly
catcher and finishes the story. The
inevitable order is plant, vegetarian.
flesh-eater.
The vast majority of fishes feed
on fishes or other animals found in
the sea. Probably, however, the vege-
tarians are more numerous than ara
generally supposed. For instance, all
the text books declare that the gray
mullet feeds on the living matter OBJ
tanned by straining sand or mud in its
mouth, which doubtless is true, but
they go on to explain that owing to
the peculiar construction of its throat
larger bodies are prevented from
passing into the stomach, which is not
true. No amount of letter press will
persuade Lands End fisherman that
gray mullet cannot or does not eat
seaweed; he is convinced from life
long observation OF it's habits that it
does, and the fact that the fish's
stomach is often found full Of sea-
weed proves that the fisherman is
right. Fishes which undoubtedly
catch and swallow living prey are
wont on occasion to treat themselves
to a dish of vegetables. I have just
assisted at the post-mortem eXamina-
tion of a Dream, which contained in
addition to a crab large helpings of
two kinds of seaweed in different
stages of digestion.
But doubtless it is a fact that fishes
live for the most part on animal diet,
and it is obvious that this must con-
sist largely of some other class than
their own. Il fishes ate fishes only
the race woulo soon become extinct
Fortunately the sea is full Of life, and
for those which cannot or will not eat
seaweed there are worms innumer-
able, jelly fishes, star fishes and sea
urchins, the great host living in
shells from the oyster to the periwin-
kle and the limpet, crabs and all 9TH
er kindred, and lastly other fishes.
The appetite must be caprcious, in
deed, which cannot find something to
tempt it among all this vast array

To tho Pole by Wire.

The conditions surrounding Arctic
travel are such that the principal diff
Guilty is found in maintaining com
munication with a base of supplies.
1t is believed that wireless telegraphy
has now reached a point where at least
it promises such development that fu-
ture exploring parties will be able to
carry along apparatus and keep con-
stantly in touch with their base camps.
If this proves to be the case much of
the terror OF the Arctic will be re-
moved, and exploration will be made
both easier and safer, with the possi-
bility that this added instrumentality
will enable the discovery of the pole
at no far distant date.-Electrical Re-

ENGLAND'S NEW SWORD.
Made TO Thrust, Because the Old One
Would Not Cut.

That the rifle is mightier than the
sword is an uncontrovertible fact; but
that the sword will be finally sheathed
as an unusable weapon in modern war
is not true, despite the endeayor OF
the pen to prove the worthlessness of
it. AS a shock weapon the sword
holds no place with the lance. but its
handiness in pursuit is undeniable il
the sword be of the right kind. In
South Africa our weapons, made os
tensibly to cut, were used by our
troopers to belabor fugitive Beers in
vain efforts to make a cut, and cess
that flagellation would appear to be
the proper term to apply. Recogniz
ing this, the war office is going to
arm the hussars with a new sword. .
whose chief use will be to thrust. The
edge of sword cannot be maintained
upon prolonged service, but General
Grant, the inspector general of cav.
airy, in recommending q new sword,
suggests the preservation of a Ger.
tain degree of sharpness by the use of
leather scabbards. The new sword
will be modelled on the pattern now in
use, which was introduced in 1899.
but with certain notifications, con.
forming with the Italian school. The
hilt will be broader, to give freedom
to the THRUST, and the point will taper
more, making the weight about a
pound less. The new sword will in.
troduce more thoroughly the Floren.
tine system of fencing, to which the
inspector OF gymnastics, Colonel NAL
colin Fox. has for so many years pin.
ned his faith, and whose value its
chief eXponcnts Captain Edgeworth.
Johnstone, Sergeant Major Belts and
ex-Staff Sergeant Forester have so
often demonstrated in open competi.
tion. Swordmakers believe in this
thrusting weapon provided it is heavy
enough to meet the rough usage of
a campaign. This is just what the
new sword win bean unbreallable
