The Fatal Bowsprit.

Now, if you have never reefed miz-
zen or jigger as we generally call it,
on a small boat running off under a
press of sail in seaway, you have
never done an acrobatic stunt that
knocks out the most thrilling feats of
the arena. It is not so bad as laying
out on the headspar to shift lib,
because the wet is left out, and there
fore it is a job not so detested by
seamen. Working on the bowsprit is
most dreaded Of all sea jobs. More
men lose their lives off that spar than
from all other parts Of the ship to-
gether Driving along she takes a
plunge into it, at the same time the
heavy foot of the sail bangs across,
knocking off your hold, and overheard
you go to be swept under and trodden
upon by the swift rushing forefoot. A
dark night on jib boom with half
nuzzled sail storming about and the
spar end pitching, bucking and forking
the brine at every plunge-there may
be nastier places; If so, they have new.

So Called Intelligence In Animals.

So Called Intelligence In Animals.
Now the so called intelligence Of
the lower animals is largely like that
Of the rills that find their way to the
sea, or Of the seeds of the plants
that find their way to their proper
habitat. Marsh plants find their way
to the marshes, hill plants find their
way to the hills. The spores Of the
black knot seem to hunt out every
plum tree in the land. The rats and
the mice find their way to your new
house or new barn because they are
constantly on the search for new
fields. The squirrels find the acorn
grove and the birds the cherry trees
for the same reason. Their necessities
for food send them in all directions
till they hit the right spots. 1 cleared
off swamp in the woods and put a
ditch through it; in two or three years
the cattail flag was growing in my
ditch. These winged seeds from dis
tant swamps traversed the air in all
directions, and when the wind dropped
them on the proper soil they took root
and throve; all others-vastly the
greater number-came to naught.-

head that the Indiana man was con-

towns over in the state Of literature.
That gave him a bunch, and he wrote
back as follows:

and Of short life are as true today as
they ever were. You won't live long,
Bacon pointed out, if you have soft,
fine hair, fine skin, quick growth,
large head, early corpulence, short
neck, small mouth, brittle and separat-
ed teeth and fat ears. Your life, bar
ring accidents, will be very lengthy If
you have slow growth, coarse hair, a
rough skin, deep wrinkles in the fore
head, firm flesh, a large mouth, wide
nostrils, strong teeth set close together
and a hard, grisly earl

The Claw of the Devil.

In the middle ages people recognized
witches and possessed persons by seek
ing on their bodies for what was called
the claws of the devil. It was a more
or less extensive part Of the skin in
which the subject was insensible to
any touch or prick The expert intrust-
ed with this work would close the eyes
Of the subject and, armed with a sharp
needle, prick here and there the differ
ent parts of the body. The sufferer
was TO answer with cry to each
prick, and the claw of the devil on a
certain spot was recognized from the
fact that he did not cry when this spot
was examined. = From ''The Major

Presence of Mind.

Although it is not given to every
body to know exactly what to do at
the right moment, one woman at least
can lay claim to a presence Of mind
which may, without undue exaggera-
ton, be considered phenomenal. This
woman's little boy was ailing with
some trivial childish complaint, and
the doctor ordered him some medicine.
He had just taken his daily dose
when his mother said, with some ex-
element:
II quite forgot to shake that bottle
afore gein yet, Johnnie. Come here. "
Johnnie obeyed, and, much to his as
tonishment and disgust, was subject
ed to a vigorous shaking from the
strong arms of the parent, at the
conclusion Of which he was laid down
with the remark:
'There, my laddie, that'll dae. 1t
should be gey weel mixed up moo, I'm
thinkin', but don't let me forget
again"
Johnnie promised.-Pearson's Week

that they are not natural to them.
