The work of steering big ship, even
with the aid of all its machinery, Is
much more delicate than one would Inn
agine. The larger and faster the ship,
the greater the difficulty. 1t Is not
enough to hold the wheel In the same
position TO keep the ship on her course,
for the wind and waves and the cur
rents Of the ocean tend constantly to
knock her off. The great wall of steel
offers a broad target for the wind and
the waves. The art in steering is to
adapt the ship to these forces, and
when she Is DETECTED, to bring her back
quickly to her course. If you could
watch the pinnacle, especially in bad
weather, you would see the needle Of
the compass constantly shifting from
side to side, which means that the
great steel PROV Is not going forward
In a perfectly straight line.

The Pnrty OF the winds.

! Big clustering, boisterous Northeast
invited all the little winds that live
up in the sky to come and play. North
east was so merry and mad that he
briskly blew and friskily flew, getting
ready for his party.
He whisked the leaves and twisted
the trees, and broke off twigs with
greatest ease. He was awkward, too,
and made a big hullabaloo, for the lit
tie work he had to do. But at last all
was ready and the guests began to
arrive North and East came togeth-
err; they were cousins in weather.
North was quite bright chap, with
a cool manner and clear complexion.
He brought az a present some glorious,
glittering icicles.
East was high-spirited maiden
who could never keep still minute
and she brought a gift of puffy, fluffy
snow.
The three winds played a while.
They made little twirls and whirls in
the snow, then they made little tossings
and crossings of the twlgs in the tree
tops They bristled and whlstled, they
hustled and hustled and tussled.
But when they heard West Wind
coming, the three went away and hid
in the deep dark wood.
West was such a mild, gentle little
lady she was quite contented all by
herself, and smiled sweetly and played
little lonely but lively games OF pun
and Whit. Then she went away.
She tried to find the hidden ones
but although she blew into every crack !
and crevlce and raised terrible dust, /
she could not find North, Northeast or
East.
Then South came, and finding no one
to receive him, ate all the ice and snow,
like the greedy fellow he was, and
went back to his orange blossoms. !
What strange party YOUTHS Com
panion.

Living by the Pen.

The fountain pen has proved Its use
fulness In a way hitherto unknown to
the general public and undreamed of
by its inventor, according to writer
In the Detroit News-Tribune. Two par
entless squirrels, but few day. old,
hungry and disconsolate, were reeestly
discovered In the hollow of a trce in
the suburbs of Detroit. They we're
rescued and given to sympathetic
man who lives near, and who willing
ly assumed the duty of foster-parent.
After the orphans were safely estab-
lished in a roomy wire cage, the prob
lem of feeding them presented Itself.
They were too young to crack nuts for
themselves, and their little teeth were
too sharp to permit the use of rub
Der tube for liquid refreshments.
In this emergency, their protector
had an inspiration. He filled the reser-
volr of his fountain pen with milk, and
inserted the point In each small mouth
The orphans drank eager
ly. Succeeding experiments have been
equally successful, and when last
heard from the pets were thriving Wig
orously.

A Perambu1ating Pudsina

A 'commuter" who lives up the
Hudson River. and who is, of course.
accustomed to "go downtown" every
morning, contributes a specimen of
Finnish humor to the New York Sun.
By the commuters confession, he is
prone to prowl around the refrigera-
tor almost every night and quietly
dispose of any ''unconsidered trife"
that may tempt his appetite, without
publishing the same to the household
at large.
Recently his wife was discussing
luncheon with new importation from
Finland. named Hilda, and remem-
bering a pudding that they had not
been able to finish the day before,
said to the kitchen autocrat:

cold pudding ISL"
Without a smile on her face Hilda
answered:
yes, ma'am, 1t has gone down4~
town."

Not Much Play About Hunting I'm
Scotland, Says Boston Man.
"The Americans who think that En-
gllsh sport is play made easy have
something to learn" said John Mason
Little, who returned to Boston this
morning on the Saxonia after a months
shooting In Scotland. 81 know that the
notion prevails over here that the En-
glish go In for their sport in u spirit
of enjoyment while we are supposed to
make hard work of it. That Is pretty
| dream. As a matter of fact, the En-
glishman turns his sport into the hard
est kind of work 1t may not be pro-
fesslonalsm, but their golf and their
hunting are undertaken In dead earn

Since early in September, when he
went to Scotland for a vacation from
business, Mr.. Little, accompanied by
Mrs. Little and his two daughters, has
been in the Scottish highlands at Beau
fort castle, the country seat Of Lord
Lovatt, which had been leased for tho
shooting season by Mr.. Little's son-in-
law, Charles w. Ogden OF New York.
says Boston Transcript.
"The Englishman who is stalking
deer in the highlands may think he Is
having an easy time because he has
never been used to anything else, but
shooting in the Maine woods Is holi-
day compared to the scramble up hill
and down after those Scottish deer. In
the course of a days stalking you are
fairly sure to cover fifteen or twenty
miles. while even If you go out for
grouse, the tramp from cover to cover /,
will take you ten miles before you know |
It,"
The economic condition of Scotch {,
lands Mr.. Little found especially inter-
esting to a stranger. Practically the "
whole of rural Scotland" he said, SIS
leased, at all events, during the hunt

valuable that there is hardly a laird

CURING A BAD HABIT.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. RI.

When Sir Sanford Fleming, the
noted English engineer, inspected the
proposed route of the Canadian Pacific
Railway In 1853, he was accompanied
by the Rev. George Munroe Grant The
party encountered the usual hardships
of travelling through a wilderness, but
has many interesting experiences. One
Of these, says Mr.. Grants biographer,
was meeting the different parties Of
engineers stationed along the way.
| The most picturesque person asso-
ciated with this exploration of the
covererer and engineer of the passage
through the Selkirks. Rogers was an
energetic man, renowned for unconyen-
tionallty but exceedingly profane. The
engineers who were passed on the east
ern slope of the mountains were in a
state of great expectancy at the pros
pect Of the hard-swearing Rogers being
host to clergyman.
Rogers at first was under the impress
sion that Grant, who was addressed as
IOClOI, was LHCbiIdl hC
day after the first meeting was Sunday,
and Fleming proposed that DR.. Grant
should hold divine service.
The major took the suggestion as a
joke, and with great energy drummed
up his men. DR.. Grant preached at
length, and dexterously brought the
subject round to profane swearing.
Avoiding any appearance of aiming
at any one hearer, he pointed out the
uselessness of the habit, and incident
ally noted its gradual disappearance
from the conversation of gentlemeH.
He had observed with accuracy one
salient point in Rogers character. The
man was passionately determined to
live like a gentleman, and to have his
men regard him as gentleman. The
discourse struck home. Then and there
Rogers resolved to abstain.
Once at least during their stay with
him his guests pity was excited by
MS herOlc suppression of his vocanu-
AIRY at a trying moment. Something
vent wrong with one of the canoes.
togerS opened MS moutn, pul III INC
nick of time remembered his resolve
md stood helpless.
Grant laid his hand on his arm.
"Major, If you've got to get rid Of 1t,
70 behind tree and say it."
Sir William Van Horne was fond Of
elling Of his first meeting with Rogers :
Ifter this affair. After some talk, Sir
William said:
whats the matter with you,
Rogers? You haven't sworn once"
"Well, Mr.. Van Horne, Fleming
,rought a parson up here named
irant He gave us sermon on
wearing, and he made out that it
wasn't gentlemanly to swear, so I

"JACKASS BATTERIES. %

Men and Mules Required for Work
! in the Mountains.
One of the most interesting organiza.
lions which took part In the maneu.
vers at Camp Tacoma, Washington, OF
| Western troops under General Freder-
lex Funston was the Eleventh Battal-
ion, field artillery, Major G. A. Ben
| nett commanding.
This battalion consisted of the Sew
enteenth and Eighteenth batteries,
sometimes referred to as "Jackass" bat
teries, says Leslie's Weekly, because of
the use Of mules. The battery pieces
are transported in sections on the backs
of mules, the guns and carriages being
divided into four parts, making four
packs for the same number of animals
This enables the batteries to be
transferred through the most difficult
regions accessible to troops, and the
guns can be brought into action in
mountainous country. In the United
States army these batteries are COM
paratively new, but they received their
baptism in the Philippines and have
proved their practical value in many
skirmishes upon the cottas and forts
of the Moros
1t is surprising how rapidly the
mules are unloaded, the parts of the
gun thrown together and the gun load
ed, sighted and ready to be fired. At
test Of the Eighteenth battery the
men ran the mules back fifty PAGES,
unloaded and assembled the gun and
fired in fortv-flve seconds. This was a
worlds record.
The work requires not only intelli-
gent but powerful men. The gun Itself
weighs 236 pounds and the trail the
same, but the men handle the pieces
With ease.
The mules, too, are familiar with
the drill and perform their parts in
very intelligent manner. They know
their respective positions, and when the
load is lifted they Immediately jump
forward, 50 the piece can be placed
directly on the ground
The gun used in those batteries has
a range of from $500 to 1000 feet 1t
fires large shell, but has a lower
velocity than the larger field !
pieces. In design the piece is some
what similar to the screw" gun of the
British army.
