THE CREW OF A CUP DEFENDER

Nowhere than on a Cup defender is IL more important to have a man for each place and every man in his place The crew is divided into gangs under the immediate command of the mates, of which there are usually two, and other subordinate officers. The first mate controls the set and trim of the head-sails; the second mate. under di- rection of the skipper, the handling of the nainshect: the captain" of the bowsprit. the carrying outboard and taking in of the jibs. There are also masthead men and men assigned to work in the rigging. But while each man has his designated place, in an emergency every man not actually en- ploycd is required to lend a hand where needed. Discipline, of course, is the rule. while alacrity and coolness are the special requirements.
 The captain, at the helm, has his eye on the trim and draught of the main sail. the most important detail in the art of sailing: but in his position at the wheel he cannot see the head-Sails. and as those must be watched by an eX- perienced eye they are under the inn mediate charge of the first mate. This officer must be a man of good judg lncDL, TOT 1T the nPdQ-SdllS are not prop erly trimmed the yacht will not make her best speed.
 The full crew of the defender is sixty men. Besides them are the owner and his guests, varying in number from six 10 dozen, as d rule efficient amateurs who are ready to lend a hand at sheets or halyards ia case Of need. Formerly the crew was housed on the yacht. but that involved stripping her of interior furnishings when the time of the matcl; arrived. This inconvenience, coupled with the incl easing size of the defender and corresponding enlargement of the crew, led to the employment of steam tenders to accommodate the owner and his men. Nigilant was the first of de lenders to have regular tender. At the present time the hold of the yacht is used for slowing the sails actually needed in the race. Even the duplicate sails are carried on the tender.-W. F.. Simmons in September Outing.

WHY THE WIDOWER LOVED HER

A lady from Alexander. Va, visiting su Philadelphia quite recently, told an anecdote of her retiring cook which is good enough to be told again.
 Myra, the colored cook, gave notice to Mrs. Richardson of her intention to leave at the end of the week. Mrs. R. highly priZed the cooks abilities in the culinary line and proceeded 10 interview her in an effort to learn the reason for her departure. The following con- versation ensued:
 'Myra. are you not satisfied with the wages and the home 1 give you?''
 Yes. Mis- Richurson, I allus bin hap py wiv you all.i'

THE EVERGLADES OPENED.

The last refuge of the Seminole h. dians in Florida is taken away by the newly published decree of the United States land office which throws open the Everglades to occupation by the whites. That famous region of swamrs which cover something like one thous- and square miles, will be immediately parceled cut into farms, and steps will be taken without delay to drain it and make it available for agricultural pur- poses. Already tffere has been planned q mighty canal, three hundred feet wide and fifty miles in length, which will connect Lake Okeechobee with the Atlantic ocean. for the purpose of car rying off the floods of the rainy sea- son.
 This canal will cost S2, ,0O0,00O With a depth of twelve feet it is easily calcu- lated what an immense volume of wa ter will run off through the ditch In this way. it is reckoned, net less than 6C9,Oo0 acres will be redeemed from the sWamps. Indeed. the Everglades re- gicn few years from now is likely to be an immense garden patch, produc ing in winter unlimited quantities Of spring vegetables and summer fruits fer the markets of the North.
 Lake Okeechobee is vast pond, 100 miles wide. which receives the whole drainage of Central Florida It is bor- dered with endless morasses. which ex- tend to the southward sixty or seven- ty miles. and this part is called the Everglades. The region. however, does not in it's character correspond to the ordinary description of d swamp. but should rather be pictured as a scatter ing of hummocks of land, sometimes oi considerable extent. with water spaces between. In this strange territory re- sides remnant of the once powerful tribe of Seminoles, which in former days defted the whole authority of the United States government and was on ly subjugated at length by great army.
 Dr. H. w. Wiley, of the department of agriculture, says that the Okeechc- bee region is capable of producing moro sugar than is now grown on the entire island of Cuba. The soft muck sol when the water has been drained away will yield from two to three tons pel acre of suCar-not sugar cane, mlno you, but cane sugar. Most of what IS now an almost impossible swamp VII soon have a value of something lkt $50 an acre.

HIGH SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS Prof. McDonnold, superintendent of the city schools, has arranged with Prof. Blount, principal of the high school, to give examinations next week to ap- plicants for admission to the high school. This is an innovation which will be appreciated by students. Here tofore it has been the custom to hold examinations for the high school only at the beginning of the term for the benefit of pupils who failed at the spring examinations. The examinations of next week have been scheduled for the accommodation of teachers and pupils alike, and will lessen the work connected with the examinations which will be held at the beginning of the term.

ITCHING ECZEMA And Other Itching, Burning and
 Scaly Erlpiols. Instant Relief and Speedy Cure Afforded by
CutieHra Soap, Ointment and Pills
 When All Else Fails.
COMPLETE TREATMENT, $l.00.

The agonizing itching and burning of the skin, as in eczema; the frightful scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss Of hair and crusting of the scalp, as in scaled head; the facial disagreement, as in pimples and ringworm; the awful suf- fering of infants and the anxiety of worn-out parents, as in milk crust, tet- ter and salt rheum, all demand rem edy of almost superhuman virtues to successfully cope with them. That Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills are such stands proven beyond all doubt. No statement is made regarding them that is not justified by the strongest evidence. The purity and sweetness, the power to afford immediate relief, the certainty of speedy and permanent cure, the absolute safety and great economy, have made them the standard skin cures and humour remedies of the civilized world.
 Bathe the affected parts with Ilet water and Cuticura Soap, to cleanse the surface of crusts and scales and soften the thickened cuticle. Dry, without hard rubbing, and apply Cuticura Oint- ment freely, to allay itching, irritation and inflammation, and soothe and heal, and, lastly, in the severer forms, take Cuticura ResOlvent Pills, to cool and cleanse the blood. A single set is often sufficient to cure the most torturing, disfiguring and humiliating skin, scalp and blood humours, with loss Of hair, when all else fails.

if I am reading out there I don't hear the trains at all.
 Well, about a month ago my family tock d cottage down a a. little town where the trains run through at the rate of about half a dozen day. went down there to spend my vaca- tion with them.
 The first day I was there we were sitting on the back porch when we heard a train coming. Immediately the whole family-wife and all-made rush for the front of the house and stayed there until the train had gone on it's way. When my wife came back l asked:
 Expecting some one?'
 No.
 Anyone on the train that you knew :
 No
 "'Then Why on earth did you rush to the window to see the train come in?'
 '' oh. l don't know. We always do.
 II said nothing, but it struck me as ridiculous that Q woman who was as used to trains as she is should act like a village gossip every time a train pulled into the station. And I found out that one of the children was in variably at the station to meet each train and collected enough small talk to last a sewing circle for an hour or mere.
 Tt made me mad at first, but. by gum, do you know. I hadn't been in that place three days before 1 found myself doing the same thing. The station is sort of bulletin board, where you read the latest news of the day. Dhia Press

erly the owners of Florida, they will be obliged to content themselves with small allotments of land. Fortunately there are only about two hundred and twenty-five of them left. They are handsome people, and their women are the prettiest of all Indian squaws. Though disposed to be peaceable, they have steadfastly refused to be concil- lated by the government which has in flicted upor them such deep injuries, and they do not care to learn to read and write. The ways of civilization do not attract them, and an attempt to establish schools for them was a dismal failure.-NeW York World.
