STORY OF A BLACK CAP.
Sentence of Death Was to Be His
 Portion.

Here is an amusing story that Capt Christopher Craddock, skipper of the Swiftsure, a vessel now in the British Channel fleet, is fond of telling. A court-martial was being held on board the Hibecnia at Malta for the trial of a gunner who had been drinking not wisely but too well. The evi- dence had been taken, the finding decided on, and the court cleared to consider the sentence. The court was reopened and the prisoner ush cred in. Hardly had he crossed the threshold when, to the astonishment of the members of the court, he threw himself face downward, uttered a wild shriek, and pleaded piteously for mercy. Every one looked at the pres ident, and the reason for the prison CTS strange behavior at once dawned on their: perplexed minds. The pres ident's hair on top was conspicuous by it's absence, and in private life he invariably wore black skull cap. Now, the Hibernia was one of the draughtiest ships in the navy, and tHC oCIOCi otiOAS ldu UCCn ooHiC" " Aae long, so in the prisoners absence the president had covered his head with it's usual protector, but on the mans reentry quite forgot to hide it by putting on his cooked hat.

ARBOR DAY IN IRELAND.
Land of Shamrock Would Like to Be
 Known as "lsland of Woods"

Ireland is trying to reestablish its claim to be known as the Island of Woods" says Forestry and Irrigation It is interesting to know that an American importation, "Arbor day. is being made use of largely in fur thering the ends of forestry.
 Since Arbor day started in Nebras- ka 35 years ago it's observance has spread all over the United States The tangible result in this country has been the planting of over 6,000,- 900 trees, for the most part by indi vidual school children, besides the interest aroused in animate and mani mate nature and in forestry. In Ire land a similar movement is now fair ly launched and is rapidly spreading throughout the country. The time set for planting trees is in the fall, in stead of the spring, as in most Amer ican states, namely, the week com mencing October 29 of each year.
 Last year circular was issued by the Irish Forestry society to all the bishops, clergy and public bodies urg ing them to organize an Arbor day in the various districts. hearty re sponse was received, and the support came from all sections of the com munity, from peers, peasants, clergy and artisans, not emitting the school children.

Leather From Whale Skins.

The British consul at Chicago has made report to his government con cerning the whaling industry carried on by Newfoundland fishermen. They have been attempting to make whale leather commercial product, and are said to be meeting with some sue cess. The average whale hide covers surface of about 1,500 square feet A square foot of the hide weighs from 2 to 5 ounces, and is priced as high as 50 cents. The leather is very tough and is said to have great wearing qualities, and may, therefore, be adapted to the covering of furniture, buggy tops and seats, and also auto. mobile uses. It is also claimed that it can be used for boots and shoes Leather made from the intestines of the whale resembles kid, and is to be offered to glove manufacturers for making the longsleeved gloves now worn by women.

There has been delay of two years in getting these campaign badges ready for distribution.
