A CARGO OF RICE.
The Water Got to 1t and It SwelIed
 Up and Busted. the Shtp.

The old sailor in the seaman's board- ing house finished his saucer of rice pudding. and then slnacked his lips, says the Philadelphia Record.
 T fit battle with rice Wunst, and got licked he said. Didn't ever tell ye about it? Back in '79 the thing hap pened. wuz a foremast hand on the brig Heave Ho. bound from Ceylon to Frisco with full cargo of rice in the hold.
 "All went well till we wuz seven days out. Then the Heave Ho sprung leak. It wuz small leak, and at first we thunk nothin' of it; only we noticed after we had been working the pumps vile that the durned things didn't seem to fetch up no water. There wuz the water leekin' into the Heave Ho all right, but no soonsr did it enter than 1t disap- peared. the pumps couldn't get smell of 1t
 The skipper. when he seen how things wuz goin'. turned as white as yer shirt.
 ~ Men he sez. the rice in the hold is Rbsorbin' the water faster'n we can pump 1t out. The rice is a-sweIlin' Ifitkeeps on a-swellin it'll bust this ship
 "So then and there began battle be- twixt us an the rice as to who was to get that water that leaked in. We pumped, tell ye; we worked hard; but. hard as we worked, the rice worked harder--it collared more 0 the water than ws did, an 1t kep a-swel1in' an a-swel1in'. At the end c the second day the blanks an timbers began to groan They wuz be- in wrenched an twisted out O place by the swel1in' O that bloon,in' rice.
 We'll have to take to the boats, men,, the skipper seg, at the end, am to the boats we took, leavin the Heave Flo on a starry night.
 We didn't leave her none too soon. She busted an hour after we wu3 gone With a great rendin' sound she busted an white cloud of rice shot up into the rnoonIit air. 4 strange sight, 1t were, lads, an one seldom saw by mankind"

ferret, if the law allows. or he is certain upon In an emergency.
 Tn hunting with the live squeak the animal is taken from pocket, from the trouser leg, or from almost any portion of the clothing where it has squirnaed to in transit, and at the entrance to ths rabbits burrow, or to it's hole in the brush pile, the ferret is turned in; nose first. If there is another exit from the burrow or the brush heap, the rabbitgoes out of it with the momentum of light; if there is only one entering passage the rabbit still comes out at the given rate, having passed it's slim enemy in the burrow entrance. Then 1t is that the hunter gets in his deadly work with charge of shot.
 But in the Fox lake country one can not hunt with ferrets, and the Chicago man who is piIing up the scores above every one in the neighborhood of Fox lake station Is Squire Muehrcke's friend with tho talking machine.
 Before starting out on his shooting trip, the Chicago man takes his ferres to the machine in which he has inserted "a new registering cylinder. Pinchins the creature and furnbling 1t before ths instrument, he accumulates series of hysterical sQueaks upon the wax cylin- der, which is calculated to bring terror to the biggest bunny that ever holed up in the woods of Lake country. Then with the machine under one arm and the gun under the other, the hunter is ready. - Before g burrow showing fresh tracks in the, snow, the hunter places the de- tonating barrel Of the machine, clicks the starter, and in a moment there is a series of excited shrieks, and chatterings and goueaks, and gnashings of teeth rever- Iberating through the bunny burrow making the Miller's station dugout and the automatic trio look less tban 3t cents. A Washington park hostlel couldn't hold the rabbit from bolting iand at the psychologist moment the hunter takes the cottontail on the jump.
 All Lake county has been stirred deep CT than burfow over the innovation 1 on the part of those who shoot rabbits Hor sport, 1t is declared to be wholly 1 within the law. On the other hand, those who shoot for dinner declare that it is l a patent evasion of the lava some ethins designed for the rich man who can af- l Ifosd a talking machine and take it out into the woods instead Of keeping it in the third fiat at home, buzzing it on solo work.
 l ! in the meantime the mere dog who <tKnows his masters voice. is entirely ! ,passe in Lake county Illinois.

t,he,,u docks.

Cheap clocks are often said by watch. makers to be not worth repairing. In that case see what good cleaning will do. for often clock gets too choked with dust to perform it's duty and will go perfectly when that dust has been removed Screw off the back of the clock and them immerse the works in naphtha. When clean and dry, replace the works and probably your clock will go as well as. ever again.

The sportsman who sighs for the pond that has never been fShed. and the nook Of woods that has never been hunted, says the Illustrated Sporting News, should pack his outfit and go to the tablelands that lie along the southern slope of the cordilleras in the new republic of the Tsthmus of. Pan- anna. For the hardy sportsman m who would equal Roosevelts work among the partners and other cats i'll Colorado--the stalking of the jaguar is the real sport. For the panther is a kitten beside the jaguar. The ma tives there call the panther the friend of man, as those of the Ar genuine do, but they call the jaguar a devil. The natives hunt the jaguar by putting out bait and lying in wait for him on some elevated hiding place. I saw a man who had killed jaguar thus with bow and arrow. For stalk ing a jaguar in man fashion, the best place is on a sandy stretch or sea beach, and the time when most likely to find the game is on a moonlight night. For the jaguars are as partial to the sea beach on a moonlight night as more or less civilized cats are to back fences of the city. They can be found in the uplands, however, with no great difficulty, and it is safe to say that wherever found they are not to be considered lightly. They have not learned to fear man on the isth- mus as they have. in most of the other parts of the. world where found and they do not hesitate to charge when they think there is any occasion for it and even without occasion, 4 moon light hunt for the .jaguar may be called the best sport the new republic affords

Ginger.

Tn buying ginger avoid the brownish yellow dust, which comes from inferior black ginger The best ginger is the Jamaica or white ginger, which is pre- pared from the dried root, freed from the thin skin which covers it. White pepper is apt to be purer than, the black, which is largely an admixture oi paper shells, pepper dust and other adulterations.

Every Husband

should at the beginning of the new year make a resolution to make the fire in the morning and the resolution should be lived up to. The wife who works hard, late and early, to keep her home neat and pleasant, ought to be permitted ap extra hour to rest in the morning. When man prom, ises to Hove, cherish and protect' a woman, he should show his honesty by his acts. To make fire in the morning and get his breakfast, leav- ing the house warm and comfortable for his wife. will cause her to in crease her love for him and make her more ambitious in her household af- fairs.
