ghost stories.
There are the four COLLINS of Dun
ter's Ness, not ghosts, but evil water
spirits, who appear twice a year, only
in midwinter, but bring bad luck in
a very short time to the ship from
which they are sighted.
We must mention ADMINISTER, the
dreaded ghost of the Cape, that used
to be seen in halo of cloud and
mist over Good Hope, and also the
silent man of Wexford harbor, the
wandering soul of the Dutch skipper
who lost his smack on his way to
Dublin some three centuries ago.
Ghostly apparitions are not, how
ever, the only ones to be feared at
sea. In the cose of st. Elmo's fire
these apparitions take the shape of
spectral lights suddenly cleaning
from yardarms or mastheads. 1t was
known by ancient navigators as Cas-
tor and Pollux-the best omen il seen
double, but a signal of danger if seen
single.
Jack has score of we'll known su-
perstitions, many of which are of very
long descent, such as the presence of
figure-heads, the blasting of ships and
the crossing of the line" And it
will be remembered that the Prince
and Princess of Wales both paid
tribute to old Neptune while on their
journey to Australia

Woman's Ways

The young man kissed the maiden
fair,
And she did not resist,
Nor any protest offer as
She twice-and thrice-was kissed.
But when he smacked her once again
With a resounding pop,
She stamped her pretty foot and cried,
'Don'tn' "Stop!"
The young man was chagrined to be
SO frigidly repealed;
And mutely drew his head away
And freed the hand he held.
Deep silence reigned-one might have
heard
A tiny hairpin drop
Until at last the maiden lisped,
Don't stopi"

The patient cow gives a flowing
pail of milk to her gentle mixer, and
enjoys her clean stall as much as
we do a good bed. 1t is joy to see
well-taken-care-of cow patiently
chewing her cud and responding to
the kindness of the good herdsmen by
her happy demeanor and evident con-
tentment.
The sagacious dog will do anything,
even to the risking of his life. for his

Wild animals are trained as much
by kindness as by coercion, indeed
all nature literally responds to deeds
which SAVIOR of kindness.
The slovenly farmer or gardener,
who neglects his crops, can not be
said to be kind, and has to suffer for
his want of attention. If he does not
give his plants a good bed to be in,
provide them with proper material to
nourish them, lets them be robbed or
smothered by noxious weeds, cheWed
by rapacious vermin or destroyed by
rust or rot, for the want of taking pro-
per precautions to prevent it, or does
not cultivate them SO as to give fair
play to their respiratory organs, he
can not be said to be treating them
kindly; and what is the result? They
give him no responsive satisfaction
and are a shame to him instead Of
a pride, as they should be. Besides
the loss financially, he has no pleasure
in them, can not take his neighbor
to see his fine crop, and would much
rather keep away from his failure.
caused by his own neglect, is perpet-
ual cause of secret annoyance to him
if he is not utterly depraved.
On the other hand, the careful cul-
tivator who has given due care to
his work, meets pleasing response
in his plentiful harvest, and his mind
reposes in the thought that he has
done his best, and his efforts are am
ply rewarded by the satisfaction of
having done so.

Bread and cake boxes must be

KINDNESS PAYS

The Cow-Puncher's Elegy

I've ridden nigh a thousand leagues
upon two bands of steel,
And it takes grizzled Westerner to
know just how l feel;
The ranches dot the strongholds of
the old-time saddle men,
And the glory of the cattle days can
ne'er come back again.
oh, the creak of saddle leather
Oh, the sting of upland weather,
When the cowmen roamed the foot
hills and drove in ten thousand
steers;
Through the years, back in the
dreaming,
] can see the camp-fres cleaning,
And the lowing of the night herd
sounds, all family, in my ears.
There's a checkerboard of fences ON
the vast and wind-swept range,
And the haystacks and the windmills,
make the landscape new and
strange;
And the plains are full of farmers,
with their harrows and their
plows;
On the roadside loiter kidlets who are
driving home the cows"
Oh, the quickly faded glory
Of the cowboys brief, brief story!
How the old range beckons vainly in
the sunshine and the rain.
Oh, the reek of roundup battle,
And the thund'ring hoofs of cattle
But why dream useless day-dream
that can only give one pain?
Where have gone those trails historic,
where the herders sought the
mart?
Where have gone the saucy cow
towns, where the gun man played
his Part?
Where has gone the Cattle Kingdom,
with its armer, heroic strife
Each has vanished like bubble that
has lived it's little life.
Oh, the spurs we set a-jingling,
And the blood that went a-tingling
When we rode forth in the morning,
chaps-clad knights in cavalcade;
And the mem'ries that come troop
ing,
And the spirits, sad and dropping,
When the cowman looks about him at
the havoc Time has made.

Give Your Horse More Water.

Water should be before horses at all
times when indoors, and at least no
meal should ever be offered and no
night lights ever turned out until every
animal has had his chance at as many
brimming buckets as he will take, says
the Outing Magazine. The shy drinker
may be tempted by many artifices, like
mixing little molasses, or salt, or oat-
meal, or f1aXseed Jelly, or bran, etc.
with the water, and constantly varying
the flavor. Horses may even have all
they want right after feeding, provided
they have not been deprived Of water
for some time previous. Many shy
drinkers, like shy feeders, who are gen
orally nervous, take all nourishment

his sarcophagus to be carved by one of
the most famous sculptors Of his time.
But Wolsey died in disgrace, and the
sarcophagus remained empty at Wind

thriftily employed to hold the remains
of the hero of Trafalgar.
