Fly fishing must have been practeed

a gradual evolution could account for

With His Dying Breath He Asked
Garibaldi For a Coffin.


Garibaldi For a Coffin.
When EMO Ferretti entered actively
into the Italian war Of independence
he was just seventeen. He left Parma
secretly, deserting, as it were, his IA
ther, mother and family to fight for his
hero, Garibaldi. He walked over the
Apennines without penny in his pock-
ct and, arriving half dead at Genoa,
concealed himself on one Of the ships
bound for Sicily. When at his destina-
ton he emerged and gained the nick
name of the "boy Of the regiment" "
From that time for some months he
fought until the day for rest came. He
was shot in the head and carried to
the hospital in a dangerous condition.
Everything possible was done for him,
but it was evident that he was trou
bled, and at last it came out that he
could not die happy because be had
never seen his hero. II have fought
everywhere and sought always" he ex-
claimed, but have never succeeded
in seeing him. How can die never
having caught a glimpse Of him?"
Another preoccupation was that he
feared he might be buried without q
coffin. Morning, noon and night his
cry was, LET me have coffin" The
very day he died, by a fortunate
chance, Garibaldi arrived at the hos
pital. Having heard Ferrettis story,
he stopped and spoke to him. The sick
boys expressive face lighted up and
he exclaimed: ".Now I can die happy.

The Story OF the Duel Between Ham
ilton and Burr.
The story Of the Hamilton-Burr duel
is tragic in its brevlty. The little party
Of fve-the principals, their seconds
and the surgeon-was on the ground
not long after sunrise. The prelimi-
naries were soon arranged. AS Pen
dleton, Hamilton's second, gave him
his pistol, he asked, "Will you have
the hairspring set?"
'.Not this time," was the significant
reply, and then the men faced each
other.
According to the best authorities up
on a disputed subject, Burr fired at the
word. At the report, Hamilton started
forward with q convulsive movement,
reeled, involuntarily discharging his
pistol into the foliage above him, and
fell headlong. Burr, with on express
sion Of pain upon his face, sprang to-
ward him, but Van Ness, his second,
seized him by the arm and hurried him
down the lank and into their boat

again into unconsciousness be was
again revived by the fresh air Of the
river. 'Pcndleton knows" he said,
trying to turn toward his friends, that
I did not intend to fire at him."

had breathed his last.

A Curious Tribe, Low Down IN the
Scale Of Humanity.
A hunter Of big game in Africa gives
q description Of tribe of natives
whom he found there, the Watwa.
s.These natives" he says, Give in the
swamps, their staple article Of diet be-
ing fish and -four made from the seed
Of the water lily, although during the
rains they grow patches Of eeassava
root and sweet potatoes at the edge
Of the swamp. They smear their
bodies with mud to protect them from
mosquitoes and are extremely dirty
and evil smelling in consequence. They
are very low down In the scale Of hu-
manity and have q bad reputation
among tribes living on the high ground,
which reputation they upheld during
our visit. We engaged several Watwa
natives as carriers, but they only came
to see what they could steal. One day
I shot reed buck in sight OF the
camp and left two Watwa to carry it
in while I went after hartbeest, but
I never saw either men or buck again.
It was no use following them into the
swamps, as they knew every inch
Of the ground and water. They mad
small canoes hidden everywhere, and
Immediately they crossed stream
they sunk the canoe again where they
alone knew where to find it. Our boys
were afraid to follow them, as they
used poisoned arrows and sometimes
set notsoned stakes IN the tracks lead
ing to their hauntS."

Monster Bowl of Punch.

In 1894 Admiral Edward Russell,
commander Of the English Mediterra-
mean feet, entertained G,000 people in
8 large garden in Alicante, where he
served the largest bowl Of punch ever
brewed. 1t contained twenty gallons Of
lime juice, four hogsheads Of brandy.
one pipe Of Malaga wine, twenty-five
hundred lemons. thirteen hundred
weight Of fine white sugar, three pack
ages of toasted biscuits, ffty-one
pounds Of grated nutmegs and eight
hogsheads Of water.
The whole was prevented from dilu-
ton in case OF rain by a large canopy,
which spread over marble fountain
bowl which held the punch. The punch
was served by 4 boy. who rowed about
the basin Of the fountain in 4 boat
built for the purpose and refilled the
empty cups.

A Scotch schoolmaster in Banffshire
years ago had strong views On the sub
ject Of dress. In the day when crino-
line was the rage girl came to school
with very extensive one, which much
exceeded tie space between the desk
and the form on which she had to sit.
The teacher, seeing this, said to her,
Gang AVA home and TAX off thae
girds (hoops) and come back to the
school as God made ye."
Another rough and ready dominic
was examining his boys in catechism
and asked if God had a beginning.

end?" "Yes," he replied. This was
followed instantly by buffet on the
side Of the head. 'Will he have an
end noo?" no" said the boy, and the
master was satisfied.

This Name Is Given to Some Turtles
and Other Animals.
The giant turtles which are found
along the Atlantic coast and frequently
in southern waters in great numbers
are known as loggerheads. They COM
monty attain weight Of 1000 pounds,
are rapid swimmers and are often seen
far from land, floating asleep upon the
waves.
Carnivorous by nature these huge
to-toises feed on crabs and fish, espe-
cia,ly on a large species Of conch, which
they break open with their massive
jaws. The flesh Of this terrapin is
leathery ana oily. with strong smell
Of musk. Young specimens are more
paaatabie aud are oftea on sale in the
markets.
Aduck. as large rs our goose, which
is native of the shores of TERRA del

called loGgerhead, from its seeming
stupidity and helplessness.
In the West Indies this name is also
given to two or three sorts Of fly
catchers.

A Peculiar Ornament.

Berlin has probably one Of the most
peculiar ornaments fer reading room
that has ever been seen in similar
position in 4 civilized country. This Is
q gravestone which stands, large and
massive, in one corner Of O small room.
It Is not only graTestone, but IS in
its legitimate position at the head Of
g. grave. The history Of its location In
the house is interesting. It was not
put up in the house, but the house was
built around the stone. Its original
position was in the burial grounds in
the churchyard at St. Hedwig's.
