MaSfS and Rigging.

Each of the three masts of all but
very small vessels consists of a num-
Der Of sticks one above another. The
'heep' of the topmast comes o little
below the "head" of the lower mast
and is secured by cap" a sort Of
iron band, and bar, called a ed"
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 a 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 a yarn about a
lad who wanted to go to sea until he
heard that the fore t0pgallant studding
sail boom tricing lining thimble block
housing was the name of about the
smallest bit Of rope on board ship,
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 a
farmer

ParRnini,s Cab.

The characteristic good nature Of
Paganini, the celebrated Italian violin
list, is we'll illustrated by the following
anecSote: One 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 a ia
vor of you-a very great favor I am
father of four children and have the
honor to be your fellow countryman
You are wealthy, your fame is i'm
equaied, and if you please you can
make my fortune
What do you meang'
We'll, authorize me TO write in large
letters at the back of my vehicle these
two words: 'Paganinis Cabr"
The musician consented, says Olga
Racster in al 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.

GypsieS and TartarS.

Some ethnologists claim that the gyp-
sizes are of the same family as the Tar
tars. They are said to have appeared
first in Germany in 1417 under the
name Of Tartars or Zegins and by a
statute Of Henry VIII. were expelled
from England in 1880. This not prov
ing efficient to eXterminate the race
stronger measures were taken, describ-
ed by Thomas Cromwell in a quaint
letter still extant "And in case We
shall here or knowe Of any such Clip
cyans," he writes to "My Lorde Of
Chester" 'that We shall compel them
to depart to the next porte of the see,
and eyther without delaye upon the
first winds that shall conveye them, or
if they shall in any wise breke that
commandment, to see them executed,
without sparing upon any commysion,
license Or placards that they may
shewe or aledge for themselves to the
contrary"

THE COW AT CALMING TIME
Importance of Proper Food and Care

Importance of Proper Food and Care

In cold weather comfortable box

Dairyman. This is period when good
care and little careful attention count
for good deal.
II it is in the sumner, the COW needs
but little attention The attendant
should note, however, the condition Of
the cow, and after the calf is licked
dry it should have strength enough to

MIXED nearly dry, and if the udder
is in a feverish or caked condition the
cow should be MIXED frequently and
her udder bathed in hot water and
then rubbed until it is thoroughly dry
and then apply lard, lubricating OIL

yaseline and massage thoroughly. I'm

Of warm water will be greatly appre-
ciated by the COW, for her system is
somewhat exhausted and feversh at
this time. In no case should the cow
posed to cold drafts of air. In chilly
weather it is we'll to keep the COW
blanketed until she regains her normal
condition. Gunny sacks sewed tOgeth-
err will answer the purpose if there is
nothing better at hand.
At the beginning of her milking pc
ROD the COW should be fed very lightly,
preferably bulky and loosening feeds,
and, as she increases in milk flow,
her ration may gradually be increased
until she is receiving ali that she is
capable Of handling to advantage It
takes from three to four weeks to
bring her to a full flow of milk and
to the eating Of a full ration. There

A Bird In the Hand.

It is impossible to trace the earliest
use Of the proverb "A bird in the hand
Is worth two in the bush," which in va
rious forms Of expression is common
to many countries
In middle English we find phrases
which have the same purport. Thus in
Hille's Commonplace Book $500 we
find ga byrde YIN honde Us better than
three in the. wode," and in Rhodes
'.Babees' Book" also of early date, "a
byrd in hand . = is worth ten fye at
large"
No doubt our modern version springs
from these old saws, and it is possible
that they may have originated in the
quaint remonstrance of one Will Som
ers, jester in the court of Henry
VIII, to whom Lord Surrey, in graft
tude for many good turn, had given
kingfsher from his aviary. When
Surrey sought to recover it, promising
to replace it another day, the sapient
jester is said to have declined, saying,
II prefer one bird in the hand to two
in the bush!'

A Fine Sense of HumOr.

The Russian Emperor Ivan ". once
ordered one of his high court officials
to procure for him a measure full Of
feas, and when the poor man failed,
jumping out Of the measure, had his
head cut off and inflicted a fine of 1000
rubles on the city Of Moscow for it's
share in the failure On other occa-
sions he would wander away into the
country with some boon companions
and few Gagged bears, and when he
came to a peaceful village would let
slip the bears and shrek with laughter
as the villagers rushed for safety or
fell victims to the hungry animals.

A Shot From Behind.

One of the most interesting features
of the tragedy in 1859, in which King
Kamehameha ". shot his secretary,
Mr.. Nelson, arises from the manner in
which the monarch fired his revolver.
1t is said that both men were in a
room alone and were drinking beer.
The king walked over to a mantel
glass. He toyed with a revolver for
awhile, his back to his victim, and
then, taking note of Nelson's position
at the opposite side of the room by
means Of the mirror, he pointed the
revolver over his shoulder and fired.

To Die In the Last Ditch.

The phrase ''to die in the last ditch

originating during the civil war. In

with France was asked what he would
do in case the troops Of Holland were
defeated in the field and who replied,
