growth a half inch high. Beautiful
crystals, in their graceful outline sug-
costing quaint pagodas and gnarIed
trees, rose up everywhere from the
porcelain pattern.

collector. 1T is one of those plates
whose clay, containing aluminium and

crystals under the enamel. Such plates
are very rare. paid $4,000 for this

"Only a half dozen growing plates

other, that had belonged to a poor

value to it, sold at auction in 1891

plate in your collection. This specimen

BACK TO HIS SHIPMATE.
~@~~@~~@~~~@~@@@~@~@@@@@

When the frigate Cumberland went
down in Hampton Roads, rammed by
the Merrimac, says a writer in the
New York Sun, Jack Gardner, a sailor,
mounted the main rigging, flag in hand
and there waved defiance to the enemy.
Although the ship grounded with the
masts out Of water, and Gardner was
not drowned, his name went round the
world for the spectacular deed.
Some time later a steam cruiser,
hunting the seas over for the Confed
crate Alabama, put in at st. Helena
island for coal and water. While the
bunkers were being filled a fisherman
came near in a small boat and threw
out his lines. He was dressed in a
ragged uniform of a United States
marine. A boat was lowered from the
cruiser and several seamen put out to
see the fisherman.
Hello, matey" said the officer i'll
charge.
"Hello yourself!' said the fisherman,
throwing out another line.
Were short of men. Don't you
want to come along"
mo This suits me-
"YOur country needs you"
''This is my country right now"
Evidently the troubles of his native
land troubled him not at all. He was
supremacy comfortable and rested easy.
1t seemed a hopeless task to interest
him in the service, until one of the sea-
men spoke up.
"Gardner's with u.s." he said.
The fisherman became alert.
"Jack Gardner of the Cumberland"
he asked.
"Aye."
"He's on there with you fellers. ?"
"Aye."
"Call him up"
The sailor hallooed for Gardner and
the hero came to the rail.
"Ship alloy, old JackT" called the
fisherman.
"HelIo, Bill!' returned the man-of-
wars man.

Higher Prices for Farm Lands.

There has been a general increase i'll
the value of farm lands, equipment
and buildings of over SO per cent dur
ing the last five years. The highest in-
crease has been in the South and West
and the cotton lands show the greatest
change. This is all the more remark
able in view of the fact that in some
of the Eastern farming sections where
the soil has been robbed and where the
country estate owner has not invad-
ed there has been material decrease

HUNTED FOR FUR AND OIL.
Skunk Source of Revenue to the
Thrifty Maine Farmer Boy.

Skunk Source of Revenue to the
Thrifty Maine Farmer Boy.
Though Stunned by society and de-
spised by all save the hunter, the
skunk is a source of large revenue to
many persons in Maine during the
months when fur is in it's best condi-
ton. Skunks are easily killed, and
nearly every farmers boy and many
farmer. too, turns over not few dol
lars by their capture and the sale OF
their fur and oil.
Every acre of meadow land will have
from half a dozen to a dozen skunks
roaming about through the long grass

feet their death. Many are trapped,
and the country lad who is acquainted
with the habits of the little animals
will have his traps set about the corn
field and henyard, places the skunks
are most likely to frequent.
The man who hunts skunlzs for their
fur and oil will postpone his hunting
until late September. Then, when the
moon is bright and the nights are get
ting frosty, the skunks roam abroad in
the greatest numbers Then, too, the
fur has thickened after the shedding
of the old winters coat and the skins
bring the best price. The season for
skunk hunting lasts from the middle of
September until we'll into November.
When the heavy frOsts of the latter
month come the fat sEunks which con.
tain the valuable oil, den up for the
winter Others, which may not have
the necessary fat to carry them through
the winter in a snug den, wander
abroad all winter.
The prices paid for skunk skins are
regulated in large part by fashions in
furs. The skins which are most valu-
able are those of the darker animals.
A pure black skin is worth from 81 to
50, according to quality. Striped
skunk skins bring from % to 10 cents;
while those with a part stripe bring
from 80 to 70 cents. Three years ago
the skin of a dark skunk brought from
$3.50 to So, and there were not enough
of the skins to meet the demand. Since
that time, however, the muskrat has
supplanted the skin in popular favor

THE BRAZILIAN JANGApA.
Queer Craft Which VIII Ride the
BiIIOyVs Like n Cork.


BiIIOyvs Like n Cork.
To any one but a sailor it would
seem as though one type of sailing
craft would suit all seas and all con-
litiOns Of navigation. Our trim yacht,
or it's practical cousin the fishing
smack of the New England fisherman,
appear capable of sailing in any wa
ter or weathering any storm, yet ev-
cry country has some peculiar species
of vessel, which differs widely in de-
sign and construction from our own
type Of ships. For example, it seems
stupid in the Hollanders, with such
excellent models at hand as our own
ships present, to persist in building the
bulky, slOw-moving sloops in which
they venture out to sea but, no doubt,
these apparently clumsy craft exactly
suit the peculiar conditions of those
waters and the calling of their own
ers.
At first sight, the boat shown in the
picture might also meet the disapprOv-
al Of the inexperienced landsman as
a most unseawOrthy makeshift, yet no
craft has been devised that so we'll
meets the conditions of the rough wa
tiers in which it is employed. It is the
jangada, used by the boatmen of Per-
nambucO, Brazil. The hull, if so it
may be called, is constructed Of light
logs 10 to Is feet in length, snugly
dashed together. The triangular sail is
bent to a bamboo mast, which on ac-
count of its pliability and toughness
can withstand the pressure OF the
heavy winds that frequently blow on
that coast better than a wooden spar.
The helmsman guides the raft with the
aid of the long oar projecting over
the stern.
When the heavy seas roll over the
coral reef enclosing the harbor Of Per

ton of this awkward raft, dare ven
