A Clever Idea.

A dish drainer was thought out
by an invalid whose mind is much
stronger than her body. 1t was so
cleverly thought out that it saves
at least one-third of the work-the
great, great work--of dish drying
The dishes are firmly held at their
lower edges in the bottom Of the
wire basket. They are rinsed on
both sides at the same time and do
not steam. There is a central bas-
ket which holds knives, forks and
spoons upright, insuring perfect
drainage and preventing soaking
and loosening of knife handles. No
pretty finger tips are scalded in
hot rinsing water.

a TALE OF THE ARMADA.
The Blowing Up Of the Florentine Gal
leon, the Floreneia.

Over three centuries ago vessel
of the Spanish armada was blown
up in Tobermory bay, off the coast
Of the island of Null. Recently
numerous relics haze been recovered
from it by divers. They include old
cannon, swords, pistols, plate and
coins. The vessel was the Floren
ella, a Florentine galleon which
came from the Levant, one of the
Italian possessions of the king OF
Spain, and was commanded by one
Pereija. After the defeat of the
armada the Florencia was forced by
bad weather and lack of provisions
to put into Tobermory bay. There
Sir Lauchlane MacLean, who, be-
cause of. his feuds with his neigh
bors, had been made denounced
rebel by King James of Scotland.
formed an alliance with the Span
iards. With the aid of hundred
soldiers from the ship and of his
own followers the wild chieftain
made war on neighboring clans fol
some time.
At last he received a message
from Captain Pereija requesting
that the Spanish soldiers be sent
back at once, as he was preparing
for sea. At the same time he heard
that the provisions supplied to the
Spaniards had not been paid for.
Sir Lauchlane demonstrated with
the don for his injustice, and salts
faction was promised. On the
strength of this the men were sent
back, but MacLean, not relying en-
tirely on the captains promise, re.
tanned three of the soldiers as
hostages till the debt should be
paid. At the same time he sent one
of his own men, Donald elias Mac
Lean, on board the Florencia to re-
ceive an adjustment of the demands
of his people.
Donald Glas when he went Oh
board the ship was disarmed and
made prisoner, and no communica~
ton was allowed between himself
and his friends. But Donald elias
conceived plan which, though it
meant certain death to himself,
promised a speedy and terrible retri-
button to his captors. Finding that
the cabin in which he was confined
was close to the magazine, he forced
his way into it, and, laying a train
from it to the outside, he fired it.
The ship was blown tc pieces, kill
ing the 800 or 400 persons whc
we're on board.

VANISHING GAME BIRDS.
Destruction Of Prairie Chickens Great
er Than the Reproduction.

Destruction Of Prairie Chickens Great
er Than the Reproduction.
The general prospects this season
for good prairie chicken shooting
one of the keenly popular upland
sports with dog and gun--seem in the
main to be unfavorable Undoubtedly
there are small acres here and there,
mere hooks in comparison to the
whole vast prairie habitat of the pin
mated grouse, which contain birds
a plenty and which will afford ample
sport for the favored few who have
access to them, but for the hundreds
of chicken shooters, who take their
chances without preliminary investi-
CATION, much failure and disappoint-
ment are in store
The reports from many of the
prairie districts where the pinnated
grouse in times past were in abund-
ance, or at least plentiful enough to
afford good sport, indicate an un-
usual scarcity.
Undoubtedly the destruction of the
pinnated grouse is greater than its
production. The decrease in its num-
bers seems to be steadily progressive
with the passing years. The area OF
the habitat of species also is grad
ually diminishing, though this Is not
manifested by the entire and sudden
determination of the chickens in
certain section, nor their sudden
abandonment of It.
The change from abundance to
dearth comes about gradually. Some
sections in former years which ar
forded sport for weeks in later years
afford sport for days only. From
abundance the supply becomes
meager. Oftentimes the changes
from plenty to poverty, the lamentable
results of determination or abandoned
habitat, are not noticed by the sports
man till he is confronted with the
fact when diligent seeking for sport
afield with dogs and gun ends In
failure.
The enormous decrease in the mum.
bers and the decreasing habitat OF the
prairie chicken are not realized by
the younger sportsmen of the preesnt
time. Nor do the older sportsmen
realize 1t by any comparisons of more
recent years. A comparison of pres.
emit conditions concerning chicken
shooting with those which obtained
fifteen or twenty years ago will bring
into conspicuous relief the progress
sive decrease, which has resulted IN
the scarcity of the present.
Twenty years ago the habitat OF the
prairie chicken, beginning in Western
Louisiana and Texas. extending
through the prairie region of the Mid
die South and West, far up into Brit
ish America, and plentifully stocked
with chickens, was far in excess OF
the prairie chicken habitat OF the
present Plentiful as were the birds
then, they occupied lessened habitat
and were far less in number than
they were when Audubon, on visit
to Kentucky, wrote of them as being
so over-plentiful there and destruc-
tive to crops that they were little
short of being pest.-Forest and
