MERELY MAKING WORK.

'In recent years." said an ordnance
officer to New York Times reporter,
Everything on a war vessel gives way
tc target practice. The one thing Il
commander is more interested in thrn
anything else is the record that his
men can make at the ranges Bur
there was a time when the man behind
the gum was not recognized as the
most important element In the efficiency
Of fighting ship.
"To illustrate: was junior officer
on the old Essex many years ago. In
those days we had target practice once
quarter. We were forced by regula-
lions to expend so many rounds of am
munltion every three months, and
well, that was about all there was TO
1t. 1t was a perfunctory kind of prac-
tice, and every one was glad when 1t
was over.
zone day we went out for the quar-
terly practice, anchored the target, and
went at It, The targets we used IN
those days were three planks fastened
in triangle, a spar stepped in the
center to hold the canvas which formed
the target proper.
"Now the gun captain Of the forward
pivot rife was an excellent marksman,
and on his first trial ne sent a shell
through the spar, which smashed It
into flinders. That, of course. stopped
the practice, and out went a boat TO
tow the wrecked target alongside for
repairs.
"When it had been patched up, 1t
was towcd back to its place and firing
was resumed.
again the same gunner had the first
shot and again his shell brought down
both the spar and the canvas.
''The boat was again sent out, but
when the repaired target was being
towed back to the range. the captain,
who was much out Of humor by the de-
lay, spoke his mind.

ALBINo BROWN TROUT.
Extraordinary Lot OF Little Fellows
Now in Gotham Aquarium.

Extraordinary Lot OF Little Fellows
Now in Gotham Aquarium.
Extraordinary among fish freaks is
lot of 1873 albino brown trout now at
the aquarium, says the New York Sun.
These queer little fishe, were Matched
out in the aquariums hatchery in
February. Originally there were 800
OF them, of which fifteen died in the
first two months. In the last four
months only two have been lost. one
Of these by jumping out of the tank
to fall on the floor. Something of the
success that has thus far attended the
rearing of the fishes Matched from
them must be attributed to the facii-
ties which this model hatchery af-
fOrds for looking after both eggs and
fishes; for here with comparatively
small lots of eggs, 1t is possible to
give them almost individual care and
to insure that all the little fishes shall
be properly fed.
Another extraordinary thing about
these little albino brown trout Is their
number as compared with the total
number Of the hatch of eggs from
which they were Matched. Albino fish
es are not very common among such
varieties as brook trout and lake trout
and among brown trout they are very
rare. but these 100 albino brown trout
were Matched out of a lot of 5000
eggs; very remarkable proportion Of
alblnos.
The little alblnos are here to be seen
all in one tank, while near them is an
other tank of brown trout OF their
natural color Matched from the same
lot of eggs. Seen thus the little al
blnos with their almost colorless bod
les but with dark set eyes become all
the more striking.
The albinos are now growing faster
than their little brown brothers, but
what will happen to them later nobody
can tell, for albino fishes are not so
long-llved as fishes of their natural
color they are more delicate and as a
rule they die young. II an aibino trout

Late one night her husband was

lower floor of their house. Jumping
out of bed, the husband took his revo'-

ly to the head of the stairs. Presently
the wife herself was awakened by n
loud report, followed by a mad scur-
rying Of feet. Much agltated, she I'm

door, where she met her husband re-

CAT AND CHEESE"

IL ever, In connection with cheese.
ones thoughts fly to cat instead of a
mouse, it must surely be to that famous,
grinning cat from the county OF cheeses,
the Cheshire cat But the cat asso-
ciated with a cheese in the annals of
certain family, whose ancestors were
pioneers, was no such amiable creature.
Neither was it an ordinary cat, nor
was the cheese an ordinary cheese.
Little Lucy. eight years old. was
sent to neighbours two miles distant
on an errand. The road. although
scarcely more than a track. ran through
cleared land, except for few rods of
wood, and was supposed to be safe.
But in the woods the child became
aware that something, Skulking and
rustling in the underbrush, was follow
ing her. She ran, and emerged safely
into the open, hut to her horror Wild
cat, which must have been extraordl-
narlly hungry. burst boldly out of the
brush. and came bounding down the
road in pursuit.
The farmhouse was in sight, and she
screamed for help; but it was plain
she must he overtaken before help
could come.
JUST as the creature was about 10
spring upon her, the little girl, with
desperate flash OF courage, stopped,
faced it, and N,th arms extended hort
zontally. began whirling wildly around
and round. She kept whlrllng till she
was Oreathless ana dizzy. then dipped
lui.Sly to the ground, and with her
ended skirts made a cheese"
These aaa2inS proree lings 81 dlscon-
ert..d the wildcat that although il re-
manned slarlug ana growing near by,
it did not dare to pounce. BY the time
it gathered courage to crouch again
for spring. Lucy gained greath for
mother wblrl; and again her dizzily
mysterious gyratlons averted the at
.ack. Three times she whirled and
made cheese" then a lad from the
house, who had heard her cry ran up
with his gun and shot the cat.
The skin he gave to Lucy. whom he
afterward married. and the tippat made
from it was duly handed down with the
story to another Lucy. But furs are
