The Earliest Anchors.

The earliest anchors of which we have any record were of wood, ard gradually, through the iron anchor of one hoOk and tlle anchor in the shape of rake, there was evolved the an chor with the straight thick shank, the two curving arms with tlattened eXtremities and the long cross stock. The process of storing one of these old anchors was long and laborious one It was hove close up to the capstan or windlass; q man was let down by rope to hook on huge tackle, by which tie anchor was then hoisted still perpendicular, to a stout project ing timber. Then the lower end had to be hoisted up horizontally by an other tackle and the whole made fast In the modern stockless anchor q chain is attached to 1t at the balancing point, and this is passed through a pulley at the head of the anchor davit When the anchor is high enough, davit and all swing round until the anchor is over the billboard, where 1t rests and is secured by chains.--London Globe.

A Fish Story.

''Trout protection! Nonsense" said gunner of local eminence Trout are amply able to protect themselves. Look at their depredations among ducks, for example, and you will agree with me that it's the birds that need protection. It's common thing for trout to jump from the water, seize a duck by the neck, drag the unfortu- nate fowl into the depths sufficiently to leave its feet sticking in the air. where 1t can get no purchase upon the uni verse, and thus drown 1t. Then the trout picks the feathers from the bird, eats it at its leisure and swims away out of the jurisdiction of the courts. Are there any fishermen? None? Too bad. This would be a match for one of their fish stories. ."-Philadelphi Record.

Trapping an Elephant.

Elephants are easily trapped" said zoo keeper, "very easily trapped and very easily tanned The trapper chooses spot popular with elephants and digs a hole five feet deep and twenty feet square. He surrounds this hole with a high board fence except in one place, where he hangs swing gate. Next he finds herd of elephants, chooses the animal he wants, maddens it and makes 1t chase him. The man tears along on his nag, the elephant thun- ders close after, and just at the gate way the man swerves to the right, but the elephant, too heavy to swerve, bangs right on through into the hole. He's mad at first, terribly mad. But they give him no food or drink, they build around the pit fires of damp wood that almost suffocate him with smoke, and they daze and stupefy him with shouts and banging of brass pans. The elephant is completely broken and subdued in three or four days. He comes forth and follows the trapper humbly and timidly, with tears in his eyes,"

HyperboIe.

A Rochester clergyman was accus- toned to use scientific terms, which the people did not understand. A deputa- tion waited on him with the request that in the future whenever he used such terms he would explain them. On the following Sunday he used the term hyperbole and added: "As agreed on, beg to explain this word. Were I to say that at this moment the whole of my congregation are sound asleep it would be hyperbole, but if say that one-half are asleep that is no hyper bole, but the truth" The next day the dep6ation again called to say that the minister need not explain technical terms. The people would learn their meaning from q dictionary.-Roches Herald.

A Boy and Thousand Dollars

A New York judge gave his son $1,000, telling him to go to college and graduate. The son returned at the end of freshman year without dollar and with several ugly habits. At the close of the vacation the judge told his son that he had done all he could for him. If he had wasted the money that was to have taken him through college. he might as we'll leave home and make his own way in the world. It was rude awakening for the young man, but he knew that his father was right. And so strong was the good influence of his upright father that he did leave home to go to work in downright earnest. He went back to college, made his way through, graduated at the head of his class, studied law, became governor of the state of New York, entered the cab inet of the president of the United States and made a record for himself that the country will not willingly let die. It was William H. Seward.

SIano of Other Days.

Slang has always been q fruitful source for the expansion of language and instances may be multiplied of words now respectable which were once tabooed as vulgarisms. But. on the other hand. there have been many slang phrases in use for centuries which have never become acceptable to the purists. As long ago as 1750 the celebrated letter writer Horace Wal pole used to speak of s'sitting guzzling'' and getting drunk as an owl" Then again in the diary of one of the most prominent woman writers of the eight eenth century, Frances Burney. are found good slang phrases of the Amer ican college girl of today, as, for in stance, ''I sneaked out," Did you ever know such a toad?" and q had a vile cold."-St. Louis Republic.

Workino In Steel Masks.

The workman wore steel mask with glazed eyeholes, rubber suit. rubber gloves and rubber boots. and he carried pair of tongs of silvery alu- minium.
 ''1n certain departments of the plant" said the dynamite manufac- turer, "all our workmen are dressed like that. They must be. Otherwise they would be smeared with chemicals and splashed with acids that would eat their flesh like liquid fire.''
 But the aluminium tongs?"
 "They are for lifting the gun cotton out of its nitric acid bath. Aluminium Is the only metal upon which the nitric acid has no effect"
