A New Ships Log.

The Navy Department will make a
trial of new ship log and will prob
ably place the mechanism on board one
of the torpedo boats, says the Army
and Navy Register The log is of the
Nicholson design and is in extensive
use on the steamers which ply the
Great Lakes. 1t takes the place of the
system of towing a heavy float or pro-
polling wheel on a line, and is said to
operate without regard to the state of
the weather or the condition of the
sea. Naval officers who have examined
the device are very favorably impressed
with it as offering an automatic means
of getting and keeping an authentic
record of the speed of a ship. The
only attention required by the log is the
winding of clock and daily changes of
the cylinder record. The clock placed
at the top of light frame works in
conjunction with the indicator and
regulates the counter and record drum.
One of the dials indicates the miles or
knots per hour at which the vessel is
moving through the water at the time
of observation.

Fishing for Mackerel.

"a mackerel is the finest fish in the
world to catch on hand line" remarked
sea captain who sat in Commercial
street store. about Is years or more
ago the bay was full of mackerel
catchers, and tell you, some fine fish
were taken. | would like to sit in a
dory as have done in those times and
have the fish as plentiful as they were
then. There was no sport like it. If
you managed to toll big school up to
you with wash bait there was certainly
&ing doing as they say nowadays.
on never could tell how long the fish
would stay with you, but they took
hold OF the mackerel jigs in earnest
while they did linger. j have seen two
men sit in dory with their legs up to
the tops of their high boots completely
buried from view by the mass of fish
they had in the boat and | tell YOU they
hated to stop and you can rest assured
they didn't until it was unsafe to put
any more fish in the dory. | have
known two or three men to get IL
barrels of fish that would run 90 to the
barrel III just about an hour and they
sold them for eight cents apiece. 1t
was some satisfaction to fish that way
There were two fellows that re-
member, particularly, who could catch
more mackerel from dory, believe,
than any two men in Casco bay. You
Know you don have to bait your hook
and you don't have to take the fish off
after you get them-ju just give them a
slap on the bottom of the dorv and
they'll let go. Well. l wouldn't dare to
tell you how many lines | have seen
those two fellows keep going, but
know that while the fish were biting
they were coming over the gunwales
so fast that it bewildered one to watch
them. | imagine there will be good

The streets are paved with small

attended by burroquiro, donkey boy
who leads the animal and keeps off flies
by tiourishing horse-tail switch. Lat
terly some of the fair Madeirans have
taken to going about on foot. They
have borrowed from feminine tourists
the fashion of Alpenstocks, and now
you may see them toddling up and down
the slippery sleeps on their ridicuIously
high-heeled shoes, carrying long canes
made of ebony, with rosettes and
StreamerS of ribbons like a Shep-

wearing d tourists cap with a low-neck
satin gown. In pleasant contrast to
these would-be fashionable ladies are
/ the plain, wholesome peasant women,

laced in front and rear. The men of
this class wear shirts and Zouave

PRESIDENT REVIEWS THE PARADE

Washington, Oct. 10. - For more
than six hours yesterday the people in
Washington hummed the chorus of
the civil war song Tramp, tramp, the
boys are marching" and during those
hours the veterans constituting the
Grand Army of the Republic made
good the claim. The parade was the
climax of the thirty-sixth encampment
of the order. The occasion was in
every way worthy of the Grand Army
and the parade did not fail apportion-
ately to delineate the spirit of the war
and the memory of the glorious
achievements the army seeks to keep
green in the minds of the American
people. The route of the parade was
down historic Pennsylvania avenue,
along which many of them marched as
raw recruits in 1861 and 1862, and
many others on the occasion of the
grand review after the close of the
war in 1865. The participants in the
Imposing Pageant
entered with life and vigor into the
spirit of the occasion. Not many of
them exhibited traces of age in their
marching. Almost without exception
they walked along with alacrity and
kept step with precision.
If the veterans had needed any spur
to their enjoyment they would have
found it easily in the crowds who
thronged their pathway and in the
smile which providence bestowed
upon them, for the weather was per-
feet. The spectators were limited in
horc NV h1 90
broad sidewalks, the stands, the
parks, the windows and the housetops
along the line of march. The crowd
was enthusiastic and outspoken in ad-
miration, greeting every division of the
procession with cheers and dismissing
it with God speed" that had in It
both praise and feeling.
President Sees the Parade.
The president of the United States
also lent his energies to the entertain
ment of the capitals guests. Unable
to endure the strain of reviewing the
column from the stand he rose from
his reclining chair and rode up and
down the line. The unusual interest
thus manifested was appreciated by
the old soldiers and the president was
everywhere received with loud ap-
plause.
More than five hours time was con-
sumed by the procession in passing
the reviewing stand in front of the
White House. There was at least U.s.
900 men in line and the estimate of
Commander-in-C Chief Torrance ran as
high as 10000 men. Last night the
veterans held camDfires in the big
tents in the White House lot.

The managing officials declare that
its policies are written with the idea
of furnishing absolutely guaranteed
life insurance with cash returns to the
policy-holder, in the shape of divi-
dends. All modern features conduc-

worthy of investigation. Write to

Duck Raising.

Ducks possess many advantages
over other domestic fowl. They are
very hardy, entirely free from vermin
and liable to few diseases. They take
to confinement much better than do
chickens, and any cheap, low fence is
sufficient to keep them in any desired
place. They are great egg-producers,
and their feathers are of considerable
value. They grow more rapidly than
chickens, and weigh more on reaching
maturity, and, public opinion to the
contrady Notwithstanding, they do not
require more food. The old saying
that duck will "eat his head off, is ?
