END OF THE HACKNEY.

How He Is Worn Out In the Service
of Society.
The prancing, high stepping hack
neys that draw the shiny carriages of
the rich are often driven the pace that
kills. In Horses Nine" Sewell Ford
tells the story of such a horse and his
mate and how they were worn out.
The author says: Seeing them come
down the street, heads tossing. pole
chains jingling, the crest and mono
gram of the house of Jerry gIistenin2
on quarter cloth and rosette, their pol
ished hoofs seeming barely to touch the
asphalt, you might have thought their
lot one to be envied. But Bonfire
knew better
He curved his neck and threw his
hoofs high, whether his muscles ached
or no; in winter he stamped to keep
warm, in summer to dislodge the flies;
he did his work faithfully, early or
late, in cold and in heat, and all this
because he was a son of Sir Bardolph
and for the reason that it was his ma
ture to. Had it been put upon him he
would have worked in harness until
he dropped, prancing his best to the
last.
No supreme test, however, was ever
brought to the endurance and willing
ness of Bonfire. They just kept him
on the pole, nerves tense, muscles
strained, until he began to lose form.
His action no longer had that grace
and abandon which SO pleased Mrs
Jerry when she first saw him. Long
standing in the cold numbs the mus
cles 1t robs the legs Of their spring.
Sudden starts, such as are made when
you are called from line after an hours
waiting, finish the business. Try as he
might Bonfire could not step SO high,
could not carry a perfect crest. His
neck had lost its roundness, in his
rump a crease had appeared.
At last the inevitable happened. Two
young hackneys, plump Of neck, round
Of quarter, springy of knee and hook,
were brought to the stable. Bonfire
and his mate were led out of their old
stalls to return no more. They had
been worn out in the service and cast
aside like a pair of old gloves.

Victor Hugo No Dramatist.

The flashing brilliancy of Hugo's ver-
sifcation blinded many spectators for
brief season and prevented most Of
them from seeing what was made
plain at last by an analysis of the
plays in prose, Mary Tudor, for exam
pie. When no gorgeously embroidered
garment draped the meager skeleton, 1t
was not difficult to discover that Victor
Hugo was not a great dramatic poet
"of the race and lineage OF Shake
speare." A great poet he was beyond
all question, perhaps the greatest poet
of the century, but his gift was lyric
and not dramatic He was lyrist of
Incompatible vigor, variety and sono-
rity, and as a lyric he had often an al
most epic amplitude of vision. AS a
dramatiSt his outlook was narrow and
petty. He could not conceive boldly q
lofty theme, treating it with the I'M
failing simplicity of the masters. His
subjects were lacking in nobility, in
dignity, in stateliness. His plots were
violent and extravagant, and his char
acters were as forced as his situations.
The poetry to be found in his plays Is
external rather than internal. 1t is al
most an afterthought. Under the Tyr
ical drapery which is so deceptive at
first there is no more than a melo-
drama rander Matthews in Allan

SPEED OF SHIPS.
The Way Sailors Ascertain How
Many Knots They Are Going.


Many Knots They Are Going.
"How do you ascertain the speed OF
ship" is a question frequently adj
dressed to naval men, and an eXplana-
ton will therefore probably be of in
terest to many readers. There are sew
eral methods, says Army and Navy II
Illustrated, the commonest g4ld most an
cient being by the use of the log. This
instrument consists of three parts, the
logship, the line and the marks. The
logship is a piece of wood about half
an inch thick and shaped like a quad
rant, with a piece of lead let in round
the circular edge to make it float per-
pendicularly In the water. 1t is hung
by lines at each angle, the three lines
being joined together about two feet
from the logship. Two of the lines
are securely fixed to the ship, and the
other has bone peg at the end, which,
being pushed into a hole in the ship,
temporarily fastens 1t there.
From the point of juncture of the
tree lines a sufficient length is meas
ured, generally about 100 feet to take
the logship well clear of the ships
wash. This is called the "stray line"
and is marked with piece of bunting.
From the bunting is measured AZ feet
8 inches and the line marked here with
a piece of leather. Then another Al
feet 3 inches is measured off and
marked with two knots, then another
space the same length and marked
with three knots. Half way between
each batch Of knots one single knot is
made. The log line is then ready for
use.
The space between the knots is found
from the simple little rule of three
sum-as 5000 seconds (number of sec
onds in an hour is to twenty eight sec
onds Qength Of sandglass), so are 6,0S0
feet (number of feet in a nautical mile)
to the length Of line required, which
works out to AZ feet 3 inches.
To use the log four persons are re-
quired-two men to hold the reel on
which the line is wound, the quarter.
master to hold the glass and the mid
shipman of the watch to heave the log.
The last named puts the peg firmly in
the logship and then gathers three or
four coils of line in his hand, sufficient
to admit of the logship being thrown
well clear of the ship. He asks, CLEAR
glass, quartermaster?" CLEAR glass,
sir" comes the reply, and overheard
go the logship and line, the reel rap
idly revolving. Presently the MILDLY
feels the piece of bunting passing
through his hand, and he gives the or
der, Turn" The quartermaster turns
the glass and watches the sand, while
one "reeler" holds well over his head,
so as to give the line fair play. When
the sand has run out, "Stopw cries the
quartermaster The midshipman grasps
the line, assisted by the other "reeler,'
and looks for the nearest knot, finding
single one close to his hand. Then
the line is hauled in, and four knots
appear, which signify that the ship is
going four and one-half knots through
the water. The jerk of the line drags
the peg from the logship, which now
floats on its fiat side and is easily
| hauled in. When a ship is going over
four knots, fourteen second glass is
used, the speed being double that
shown by the knots on the line.-Home

A Hearty Eater.

There is story in the French army
of a captain who made q wager one
day that drummer of his company
could eat whole calf. The drummer,
proud of his distinction, promised to do
honor to the captains compliment Ac-
cordingly, calf was prepared in vari-
Gus appetizing ways and was being
promptly disposed of by the drummer.
When he had finally consumed about
three-quarters of the repast, he paused
for another draft Of wine and, placing
his knife and fork on his plate, said to
his superior officer, "You had better
have the calf brought on, had you not,
for all these little kickshaws will end
in taking up room"
