Where Vessels Capsize Frequently,

Where Vessels capsize Frequently.
The capsizing of vessel tied up to
pier is common enough in the bay
Of Fundy and it's tributary streams.
The usual rise and fall of the tide
along that bay are from forty to fifty
feet, and high tides sometimes exceed
sixty feet. With the fall of the tide all
craft are left high, but by no means
dry, with an area Of chocolate colored
mud all about them. This mud is too
shifting to hold vessel in safety, so
each pier is provided with one or more
strong wood frames called shoes, fixed
at the bottom of the stream or bay.
Upon these shoes all vessels rest at
low tide. 1t frequently happens, how
ever, that vessel does not get her
shoe snugly on. so to speak, and if a
strong wind comes when she is thus
Ill balanced over she goes into the
mud, to be buried forty-fve feet under
the next rising tide.

Some Golf Eeate.

One of the earliest achievements Of
]. E. Laidlay, the famous English
golfer, was to send a ball over the
s;rand stand on the Musselburgh race
course. He was at Loretto at the time,
and the feat was one much envied.
The accomplishment of more extraor-
binary feats than this is duly anthem
ticated. A golf ball has been lifted
over st. Giles cathedral in Edinburgh.
An American golfer wagered that he
could drive a ball over four and half
miles of streets in Pittsburg in 1856
strokes. He won his bet, for he took
only 119 strokes. 1t is stated that he
did $500 worth of damage which
works out at about 1925 worth at ev-
cry stroke.
A ball has been driven off the face
Of a watch without damage to the
latter. This is magnificent. of course,
but it is not golf.-London NJ. A. P.

Medical Fees In Ancient Greece.
The remuneration Of physicians orig

time Of Hippocrates payment in money
was already customary. Physicians
received also public praise, the "crcwn

privilege Of eating at the kings table.
Physicians employed by the state re-

eses H., with Adam at my
right and his eldest son at my
left, when a distant church bell
announced rather prematurely the
birth of the new year. Near me lay, In
their figured caskets, the mummies OF
the noblest Of ancient Egypt, and the
great kissing arc light outside the win
dows disclosed gently falling snow and
glinted or cast shadows Of snow laden
brambles on the scores of m lrble fig

the adventures that were to be mine
ere morning But let me narrate
them in orderly fashion.
There had been silence for a few
minutes. The sexton Of the distant
church, finding that no one followed
his lead, had stopped ringing. l
looked at my watch. One minute OF
midnight. Ugh! How shivery cold it
was getting!
Suddenly there broke out the usual
din with which New York welcomes in
the new year. Cannon, bells, steam
whistles and revolvers joined In the
noisemaking, and amid it all l could
hear family the faroff chimes of Trim
ity. But only for a moment, for just
then from every pedestal around me
down jumped it's marble occupant,
striking the marble floor with stony
thump, but instantly stretching limbs
and yawning with great show Of sat
lisfaction ut release from the cramped
attitudes Of statehood. That l did
not die where sat was the chief mar.

The Lady Doiphins.

A lady who conducts a school of
classical dancing hears some quaint
remarks as she converses with her
child pupils. One day preparatory to
the first lesson in dolphin dance she
delivered to her class little lecture on
this fish. She described the grace of
the dolphin, and afterward she de-
scribed its habits and mode Of life.
"And Children she said, "a single
dolphin will have 1000 offspring."
A little girl gave start.
"And how about the married ones7'
