to be made into vinegar from time to
time. A good wine or alcohol barrel is
carefully painted on the outside to pre-
vent corrosion of the hoops. A vent
hole is now bored In each end of the
cask near the chime on the side next
the bung and covered with a fine
screen to keep out insects. At the bot.
tom Of one end a spigot Is inserted and
perpendicular row OF gimlet holes
bored and fitted with wooden plugs to
act as gauge. Fresh wine, which
must first be fully fermented, can be
added from time to time through a
tube passing In at the bunghole and
ending near the bottom Of the cask.
In this way the active film will not be
disturbed by drawing Off little vine
gar or adding little fresh wine. The
tube must not be Of metal, but can be
Of glass where available. In this re-
gion large stalk Of native cane, the
joints OF which have been perforated
with hot iron, makes very service
able tube. A tin funnel may be used
In pouring the wine into the tube. A
similar apparatus has been found very
serviceable In France for converting
table wine waste into vinegar. Such
wastes under suitable temperature
conditions yield good vinegar In nine
ty days. The generator Is started with
a mixture of about three-fourths wine
and one-fourth good vinegar. When
once started no new vinegar need be
added.

GOOD HoRsEMANsHIP.
An Old Hunters Illustration OF the
Gift Of "Hands."

Gift Of "Hands."
Your heart and your head keep IN,
Your hands and your knees keep down,
Your knees keep close to your horses

And your elbows to your own.
This old bit Of advice for the would

Baily's Magazine and declared to be
perennially sound.
He quotes another old hunter on the
subject Of what he calls "the divine
gift OF hands" In riding. This old
hunter, John Darby. used to attach
two pieces OF Irvine to the back Of an
ordinary chair and draw the same
tighter until the chair balanced on its
lore or hind legs, according to his own
position.

 "Husking cocoanut is one of the simplest looking operations In the world, but I have not seen the white man who could do 1t effectively" writes Beatrice Grlmshaw in her book, Tn the Strange South Seas" Every native 9c Tahiti Is apparently born with the trick.
 A stick Is sharply pointed at both ends, and one. end is firmly set in the ground. The nut Is then taken in the hands and struck with a hitting and tearing movement combined on the point of the stick, so as to split the thick, intensely tough covering of dense coir fiber that protects the nut.
 The nut comes forth white as ivory, about the same shape and size as the brown old nuts that go by ship to England and America, but much younger and more tender for only the smallest of the old nuts, which are not wanted in the islands for copra mak. Ing, are generally exported
 \ large kuuC lS used To crack the top of the nut all around, like an egg shell, and the drink Is ready, a draft of pure water slightly sweet and just a little aerated, if the nut has been plucked at the right stage.
 There Is no pleasanter or more re freshing draft In the world, and 1t has not the least likeness to the milk" contained in the cocoanuts of com. merce. No native would drink from old nuts for fear of illness, as they are considered both unpleasant and unwholeSome. Only the milk of half grown nuts is used for drinking, and even these will sometimes hold q eau. pie of plnts of liquid.
 The water of the young cOcoanut is food and drink in one, having much nourIshIng matter held In solution. On many a long day of hot and weary travel l had cause to bless the re- trcShing and restoring powers of heav- ems best gift to man in the tropics, the never failing CocOanut.

B. S. Jones of Homewood, Pa, has been compelled to fasten a steel mug gle on his giant rabbit to prevent 1t from tearingg to shreds the trousers seats of mischievous schoolboys, and he has had to chain 1t down with a ring In Its nose, like an angry bull. And he is no competitor of Professor Long for nature faking honors.
 The rabbit Is universally accorded the virtues of modesty and gentleness and In the experience of most persons Is easily frightened and tImid. But We will let Mir. B. S. Jones tell his own story:
 "When l first got possession of my lepus," he says, q kept him in the chicken coop. But he raised rows with half a dozen big game roosters, and one after another he took their measure. It was great to watch him fight a rooster. As the cock closed in, striking and pecliing, the big rabbit drew back from the clrcllng spurs and, watching his chance, shot his long hind foot with its sharp toe nails out and up in regular cross counter that sent the rooster sprawllng on his side three feet away.
 But 1t is in fighting dogs that this wise old cottontall displays almost hu- man resource and stratagem. He picks d quarrel with every cur he sees, swats

Does this bullet belong to Mrs. JonesT he asked her No, indeed 1t don't, sir she replied Then he turned to the other woman. Does this bullet belong to Mrs. Smith? It certainly does not, the second woman replied.

When he reaches a favorable place the cottontall slackens speed un- til the dog approaches; then he leaps into the air, turns a back sOmersault, lands sQuarely on the dogs launches and sinks his teeth into his body and is off again like the wind. He repeats this programme until the dog is beat en outright or quits from exhaustion.

Crew of Morrill, Airship Might Have
Prevented Catastrophe.

Oakland. Cal, May 25.-It is be-
lieved that two of the sixteen persons

maker of the craft and head of the
company which was exploiting 1t.
The inventor of the airship had ex-
plicit faith in the -dirigibility and lift.
ing power Of his immense vessel and
advertised its adaptability for CONNER
made the ascension did SO with the in
tention of investing in the company if
the ship proved a success.
The envelope of the vessel was made
of fiimsy material. The inventor had
been warned that it would not stand
the weight put upon it, but he de-
clared that it had been chemically
treated and was perfectly safe.
1t was estimated that there were
Ia, 900 persons in the vicinity when the
ascent was made. The event had been
widely advertised, and spectators came
from miles away. The machine rose
easily at first and was soon about 800
feet above ground. Then a thrill OF
apprehension went through the great
throng as it was realized that the
monster craft was in trouble. The
enormous gas bag assumed a perpen-
dfcular position and came in contact
with the fans Of the engines which cut
it and let out the gas.
The airship began to sink slowly at
first. but the speed increased momen-
from the rents in the bag. When the
machine was still about seventy-f1ve
feet in the air the last OF the gas ap-
peared to be exhausted and the ship
came down with a fearful rush, bury
ing its crew and passengers under a
mass of wreckage and the immense
bag.

For a while it looked like a shutout

Just why Wooley should pull off such
a trick as he did was not evident to
Speer. The two were former team
mates and are always known as great
pals For this reason or some other
with two down Speer passed up Arnold,
thinking to work himself out of trouble
on Wooley. 1t happened thusly: Syl-
vester Olson started with a safe bingle.
Kahl tried a bunt but it worked the
wrong way as Speer nabbed Olson at
second. Emory Olson followed with
his third single Of the afternoon and
Kahl was held at second. Boles flew
out to Cermack on a long fly and it
looked all over when Arnold stepped to
the plate. Arnold drew four wild ones
and the bases were full. Then It was
