Floating Homesteads.

On all the great lakes Of China are
found floating islands, which are enor-
nous RATS Of bamboo, overlaid with
earth and unfolding above the surface
OF the water pretty houses and gar
dens. They are, in fact, aquatic farms,
bearing crops Of rice and vegetables.
The rich bottom mud, utilized as an
artificial soil, is extremely fertile and
yields bountiful harvests, though on a
small scale. In country where there
is such lack Of available land owing
to the overplus Of population these
floating plantations are most service
able, large sails being attached to the
dwelling house as we'll as to each cor
ner of the island whenever it is desired
to move about. After gathering a
crop of grain or garden truck from the
surface Of the lake the floating farmer
casts his nets into the waters and from
their depths brings up a supply of fish
for lis family.

Pets the Sailors joy.

Animal pets have ever been a great
joy to the average sailor. There is
hardly ship afoat that does not carry
one OF more such little favorites to
whom the crew are universally kind
More than this, there is frequently de-
veloped an attachment between men
and animals that is seldom to be seen
on shore, and the intelligence display
ed by these animals often far exceeds
the wonderful stories we sometimes
see in print. On men-of-war there is
probably more consideration shown the
crew in this regard than on merchant
men; at all events you will find there
many more ships pets. 1t is by no
means uncommon to see upon the same
deck dozen or more we'll trained ami
mails of various kinds whose natural
homes are separated by thousands Of
miles.-St. Nicholas.

Turn1ne the Tables.

Pliny tells us that the phrase turn
ing the tables" arose from the extrava-
gance of the Romans. In the time of
Augustus men Of wealth spent fabu-
lous sums of money on tables Of costly
material, such as ivory, gold, silver,
marble and highly priced woods, espe-
cially the citrus wood of Mount Atlas.
These last were called tigrine, or pan
Uterine, from the spotted appearance
of the grain, as our birdseye maple
takes It's name. Cicero, man of mod
crate means, gave nearly $4,000 for
one. Hence when the gentlemen
charged the ladies with extravaganza
in jewels, especially pearls, the ladies
retorted on their lords by pointing to
the vast sums spent on tables and thus
literally turned the tables" upon them.

fought around Chattanooga. This re-
union will be held at Chickamauga

that it will be the largest and most
notable gathering ever held in the
South. On the above dates, the rem
nants from the armies of twelve
states, comprising the following:
pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, In
diana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas
and kentucky, will assemble, many

cause to rejoice. The lowest rate ever
secured has been given the entire
public for this occasion, one cent per
mile, short line distance,

its historical connections. 1t is the
opportunity of a lifetime. Go and see
the old war generals and other officers
point out the places of interest on the
battlefield; let them show you and ex-
plain, in person, the markers erected
on the battlefield showing positions
of the opposing armies at the time of
battle. 1t will not be long until none
will be left to do this noble work;

escape YOU it is worth six months in
