POINTED

The poorest thing you can offer a
friend is an excuse.
Two things a man puts of-buying a
lot in a cemetery and making a will.
1t is not enough to admit that you
are a fool. You must try to get over 1t.
After a man fails to make money his
wife loses all awe of his bunch of office
keys.
When a boy helps his mother with
the dishes, how do the other boys find
it out?
There is no greater fallacy in the
world than that sense comes with age
or experience.
When you think yourself over in the
middle of the night you give mighty
poor satisfaction.
It is going to make a mighty poor
jam for your crust in poverty to eat 1t
remembering what you spent on fool
ishness in youth.-Atchison Globe.

MALAY PRoAs.
The Way These Peculiar Boats Are
Built and Fitted Out.

The Way These Peculiar Boats Are
Built and Fitted Out.
Great fleets Of Malay vessels go into
the sci south of Borneo each year to
fish for trepang, o. sea slugs, which
are esteemed a great delicacy in Chi.
ma and other Asiatic countries. A
British government official writes:
"The proaS are peculiar looking con-
Germs and present q most clumsy ap-
pearance. The hull is Of wood, and the
top, sides, deck, roof and yards are
made Of bamboo, the sails Of mating
and many Of the ropes and hawsers of
plated cane. They are steered by
two rudders, n on either, side of the
stern. Some Of them carry iron an
chors, others wooden ones, with heavy
stones dashed to them. Often when
the anchor is let goa man is sent down
to see that it is properly fixed in good
holding ground. The mast is a pecul-
lar concern, being formed of wood or
bamboo, having two stays, so that in
appearance it resembles a lengthy tri-
dent, the spaces between the masts
and stays being Nsted with wooden
steps, on which the sailors stand to
hoist and roll up the sail, which I'M
rolls again by a simple %contrivance
like q window blind.
"When. you go on board a proa you
20 over the bow, that being close to
the waters edge, the stern being away
up in the air. You then climb a beam
and step across IN opening to the
deck in front of the captains cabin,
| which Il situated on one side Of the
bow, a similar one being on the oppo-
site side for the second in command.
The deck is Of split bamboo, worked
together with wire or fiber, and can be
rolled up at pleasure. The entrance
to the cabins is about 2 feet by 2 feet
6 inches. OF course to enter or leave
you must go on your hands and knees
Inside there is room for a man to SIT
or lie down in. The stern, which is
high up, has several small rooms, OF
holes, like a great pigeon house, and
in these and on top of the cargo the
crew lives. the galley being a large
iron pan with a quantity Of sand in II
to light the fire on.
"Proas have q sort of bowsprit rig
ged out and sometimes carry two OF
three headsails. On top of the house:
they carry plenty Of spare bamboos
and %rattans, which they get at the is
land of Kissa, near Timor. on the way
down."

LIFE ON A WARsHIP.
Why the Men Are Allowed to Indulge
In Athletic Sports.

To see a thirteen inch gun loaded
and fired is a sight not to be forgotten.
The projectile is thirteen inches In
diameter, about three feet in length
and weighs LOO pounds. The powder
charge for target practice Is $50
pounds. The cost for each shot is
about $500. When all is ready on the
range the signal siren sounds, there Is
q binding flash, q roar like thunder
and a jarring shock. Then you hear
the whining screech Of the shell, for
all the world like Il fast express round
ing a sharp curve. The projectile Is
visible almost from the time 1t leaves
the gun. You see it rip through the
target and strike the water beyond,
throwing UP a column of liquid many
feet high. The shell skips, much like
the fat stone skipper of our boy
hood, and again a column of water
shoots up two miles or more farther
out, to be repeated time and again.
The shell in its flight can be watched
without the aid Of glasses for eight
miles or more in clear weather.
While the life of IL sailor, from cap
tain down to apprentice, is an almost
continual round of work, some time Is
found for athletic sports, such as
boat racing, football and baseball. The
object of this is to give the men rec
reation and at the same time to foster
the spirit of competition. Besides, it
makes the men easier to manage. The
ship with q strong football OF baseball
team or the fastest race boat almost
invariably has a happy and easily
managed crew-a that will swear
that its officers are the finest men In
the world, and likewise the officers
swear by such a crew. Some ships
have training tables for their athletic
teams, the expense usually being de-
frayed by the officers. The team or
boat crew, as the case may be, Is
petted by the officers and idolized by
the crew, and for some time before q
hard contest the men are excused from
various duties in order that they may
give more time to training.
Every battleship and cruiser has Its
race boat, purchased by contributions
from officers and men. The prices paid
for these boats is, as u rule, contingent
upon their winning certain specified
races. The builders are willing to take
a chance, knowing that the e will do
its best to win. For a winning boat the
price is often as much as $1,000, while
for a boat that proves less speedy tho
builder will accept $500 or less. On the
result Of. a feet boat race as much as
$4,000 has been known to change
hands, and large sums are also
wagered on baseball and football
games. This is, of course contrary to
the letter of the regulations; but the
sporting instinct is as strong in the
navy as elsewhere-and it is not always
possible to hold down the lid.-Leslie's
Weekly.

A Bit Of Translation.

The difficulty Of avoiding 'howlers'
when one IL tr~anslating from English
into such a language as that of the
Micmac Indians Of Nova Scotia must
be very great, says the London News.
We hear from the Bible society Of a
curious case. In the first edition of
St. Matthew in Micmac the translator
found when he came to revise it that
in chapter xiv, Z, instead Of "Nation
shall rise against nation" he had writ.
ten, "a pair Of snowshoes shall rise
up against a pair Of snowshoes." And
yet there was only one letter misprint.

The Salt In the Sea.


The Pythagoreans held that the sea
was salt by reason Of the tears shed by
Kronos, father Of Zeus. According to
the old Hebraic tradition, the ocean
was originally a great body Of fresh
water, but which was made salt by the
abundant tears of the fallen angels.
One sect of Buddhists believe that
Lots wife-that is to say. the pillar OF
salt which was once the wife Of the
humble gentleman named above-lies
at the bottom Of the ocean in a certain
narrow strait and that once each year
the waters Of all ear dow through
that narrow channel: The Talmudic
writers say that 1t was never salt until
Moses wept repentance after breaking
the tables of stone.

spare Moments.

Chancellor D'Aguesseau, observing
that his wife always delayed ten CT
twelve minutes before she came down
to dinner and reluctant to lose so much
time daily, began the composition Of a
work which he prosecuted only while
thus kept waiting. At the end Of If
teen years a book In three quarto vol
umes was completed, which ran
through three editions and was held In
high repute.

indeed in all the great levels OF the

Many lakes well known during the his

Explorations in central Asia have
proved that for centuries a zone stretch
