just Meandering.

A city girl writes, ut is a fond
dream of mine to become d farmers
wife and meander with him down life's
pathway"
All, yes, that is a nice thing! But
when your husband meanders off and
leaves you without wood and you have
TO meander up and down the lane pull
ing splinters off the fence to cook din
ner, and when you meander along in
the wet grass in search of the cows till
your shoes are the color Of rawhide
and your stockings soaked, and when
you meander out across twenty acres
of plowed ground with club to drive
the hogs out of the cornfeld and tear
your dress ON the barb wire fence,
when you meander back home to the
house, find that the billy goat has
butted the stuffin' out of your child
and find the old hen, with forty chick
ems, in the parlor, you'll put your
hands on your hips and realize that
meandering is not what it is cracked
up to be.-Osborne (Kan.) News.

The Dead of the Sea.

An inQuisitive Frenchman has
thought it worth while to ask what be-
comes of the bodies after death of the
numberless fish and other living crea-
lures that fill the sea. Of course they
all die, sooner or later, and yet it is all
occurrence so rare as to be practically
unknown for anybody who lives beside
or on the ocean to come across the re
mains of even a single victim of the
fate that awaits all things mortal. In
the profounder depths putrefaction can
not take place, so if the dead fish
once reaches those calm, chill abysseS
he would be preserved until the end of
time. Probably, however, no such
peaceful repose awaits more than an
enthusiastically smah proportion of the
finny folk, and no great accumulation
of lifeless bodies exists at the bottom
of the sea. The living eat the dead be-
fore they can make the long, slow
Journey downward AS matter of
fact, extremely few fish, and perhaps
none, ever meet what is known as a
natural death" Almost always they
are slain and devoured and so put
definitely out of the way.

First Recorded Yacht Race.

A race across the Atlantic ocean
would have seemed a wild romance to
King Charles H. when he took a lead
ing part in the first recorded yacht
race 81 sailed this morning. says
Evelyn on Oct. 1, 1861, with his maj
esty in one of his yachts, or pleasure
boats, vessels not known among us till
the Dutch East India company pre-
scented that curious piece to the king,
being very excellent sailing vessels. 1t
was on a wager between his other new
pleasure boat, built frigate-like, and
one of the Duke of York's; the wager,
91OO; the race from Greenwich to-
Gravesend and back. The king lost it
going, the wind being contrary, but
saved stakes in returning. There were
divers noble persons and lords on
board, his majesty sometimes steering
himself" Yacht a word new to Eng
land in 1860, is Dutch, from ''jagten,'
to hunt, to speed, connected with our
''go."-LondOlssC Chronicle.
