Each of the three masts Of all but
very small vessels consists OF a num-
Der of sticks one above another. The
heel of the topmast comes a little
below the 'head' of the lower mast
and is secured by cap" u sort Of
iron band, and bar, called I'D"
Above the topmast comes the topgal-
liant mast and above that the royal
mast.
The running rigging consists OF ropes
used in handling the yards and sails.
and every rope has distinguishing
name. Halyards are ropes used to
hoist yards and sails. Braces are ropes
used to swing the yards around by.
To the beginner the names of ropes
are apt to be very confusing. Old salts
are fond Of spinning yarn about n
lad who wanted to go to sea until he
heard that the fore topgallant studding
sail boom tricing lining thimble block
housing was the name of about the
smallest bit Of rope on board shin.
when he at once concluded that, such
being the case, he could never expect
to master the name of the largest rope
and consequently decided to become
farmer.

The characteristic good nature of
Paganini, the celebrated Italian Violin
list, Is well illustrated by the following
anecdotc: Ore day while in Vienna he
hired cab to take him from the hall
where he had added one more to his
long list of triumphs to his lodgings.
When Paganini awoke the next morn
Ing he found the cabman waiting for
an interview. He, in fact, burst into
Paganini's private apartment.
What do you want?"
"Excellency, come to solicit fa-
vor of you-a very great favor. am
father of four children and have the
honor to be your fellow countryman
You are wealthy, your fame is un-
equaied, and If YOU please you can
make my fortune"
What do you mean?'
well, authorize me to write in large
letters at the back of my vehicle these
two words: 'Paganini's Cab."
The musician consented, says Olga
Racster in an interesting volume en-
titled "Chats on Violins," and six
months afterward the cabman was en-
joying comfortable income solely de-
rived from Paganini's cab.

Remarkable Lunar Rainbow.

l recall many lunar rainbows during
the half century since was nn observ-
ant boy and, If memory serves me. one
double lunar rainbow. But the most
perfect Of these bows that l recall I
saw on the edge of Darlington, S. c.
l was In a road leading north, with ex-
tensive fields east and west; hence my
opportunity. The full moon had just
risen above the tops Of the distant
woods, and the bow In the west was
perfect. The span Of the bow was ma
.terially less than the span of a sun
rainbow, but Its depth, or thickness,
was proportionately much greater. The
rainbow colors were distinct, but pale,
as If the arch were built Of pale moth
er-of-pearl, and they changed and fad
ed less rapidly than the sun rainbows
I have seen.
When in camp on Johns island,
South Carolina, saw brilliant sun
rainbow with one foot of the arch SO
near VIC could stand on it or pass be-
hind and in front Of it, but we did not
dig for gold."-Macon Cor. Scientific

Why We un,e EGGS within Exx,


Instances OF eggs within eggs are re-
ported annually in the live stock peri
odicals, both with poultry and pigeons.
Such cases are examples of retarded
laying. The oviary channel is, through
some unusual exciting state, deficient
In lubricating fluid. The one egg, tenn
porarily stopped. is incased in the sec
ond, which is thus formed around it.
This accounts for the abnormal size
of the completed egg, which is eveptu-
ally evicted Mt times with much pain
and difficulty, and occasions death not
infrequently through egg binding, as 1t
is termed. The condition may be
brought about by too much fat forming
element in the fowls dietary-Indlan
corn, for example. as sole food--or
in measure may be constitutional and
confined to an individual specimen or
even to strain of birds. The inner
egg is often yokeless, though not in
vnriably 80.

A perfect pun makes good sense both

Hint, About screws,

Where screws are driven into soft
wood and subjected to considerable
strain they are very likely to work
loose, and it is often difficult to make
them hold. In such cases the use Of
glue is profitable. Make the glue thick.
immense stick about half the size Of
the screw and put it into the hole.
Then put in the screw and drive 1t
home as quickly as possible. When
there is an article Of furniture to be
hastily repaired and no glue is at hand,
bore hole, insert the stick. fill the rest
Of the cavity with pulverized rosin
then heat the screw sufficiently to melt
the rosin as it Is driven in. Where
screws are driven into wood for tenn
porary purposes they can be more
easily removed by dipping them in oil
before inserting. When buying screws,
notice that the heads are small and
well cut, that there are no flaws in the
body or thread part and that they have
gimlet points. A screw of good make
will drive as easily into oak as others
into pine and will endure having twice
the force brought against it.

A Hat story.

A Birmingham (Ala.) man told q
somewhat remarkable lat story the
other day, vouching for its truth by
saying that he was the we&rcr of one
of the hats. He walked into the din
ing room of an Atlanta hotel one day,
putting his beside the one other on the
hatrack. When he left the dining room
he found that his hat had been taken
and the tother one left in its place.
There was nothing to do but take 1t
and be content. He came north, and
at hotel the hat swapping perform
ance was again repeated. Some one
took from the dining room hatrack the
one taken by the story teller from the
Atlanta hotel.
A few days later the Atlanta man
recognized at the same hotel the hat he
had lost. He took 1t. He vert south
few days later and stayed ut the no
tel he had occupied on his former visit.
One day when he entered the dining
room there was only one hat on the
rack. He placed his own beside 1t.
When he left the dining room and
picked up the one hat left lie found it
was the one he had lost there the year
before-New York Tribune.

Pleasure. OF Tho r.h,a.

Heliogabalus surpassed vitellius as
tar as Nitellius surpassed Lucullus in
the art Of eXpending vast sums upon
the pleasures Of the table According
to Lamprldlus, he cost the government
for each of his dinners more than
S1SO,0GO in our money! This statement
almost transcends belief AT one of
his banquets was served an entree CON
sisting of the brains of 100000 os-
triches, quickly followed by another of
brolled heels of an incalculable number
OF tender young camels! In the days
of Shakespeare good digestion probably
waited on appetite. Dining was n mat
ter Of fact business, and dinners were
so lacking in the variety of dishes that
an appetite was necessity. In these
days, as In the days of Vitelllus, an ap-
petite is superfluity. Among the
high iivers it is satiated, dull, dead,
WORKOUT. Special dishes are invented
to tickle and awaken it. Lucullus, VI
tellius and IIeliogabalus are among the
great departed, but their memory lives.
and even in this day and generation
they have their imitators.

Shakcspearc,s Nama.

1t has often been puzzle to stu
dents Of Shakespeare why his name is
spelled in so many different ways.
Shakespeare himself is said to have
signed his name on different occasions
Shakespeare" and Shakespeare" and
learned disquisitions have been writ
ten to prove which is the proper SPELL
Ing. None perhaps was more amusing
than the weather" reason given in
1851 by Albert Smith, who averred
that he had found it in the Harleian
manuscripts. 1t was US follows:
How dyd Shakespeare spell hys name?
Ye weatherre maybe ye change, we save.
So write 1t as we please.
When ye some shone he maybe hys A,
When wette he took hys Eos.

their worship, worship born of hate

the water should not be more than
two feet deep. in others about six feet
for a very little way and in others
about waist high. This is the key
note of the race.
Each racer has to propel his monitor
by pushing it with his head, which
must remain INSIDE the turret. In
water just up to the neck this is not
easy, and not at all difficult when he
enters deeper water and has to swim
for a little way, but when he reaches
very shallow water his trouble be-
gins. The monitor must rest on the
water throughout the race, the racer
must keep his head inside the entire
distance and must not touch the craft
with hands. So when the water is
only waist high he has to crouch very
low and keep his head in the turret,
and when he strikes a few yards of
the course where the water is hardly
knee deep he must crawl. and the
sight furnished by a lot of racers at
this stage usually convulses the audi
