BATTLE ON A BRIG.
Truthful Account of the Fate of the
Old Heave Ho.

An old sailor on having a plate
full of rice pudding put before him
became reminiscent.
81 fought battle with rice wunst
an got Licked" he said. Didn't ]
ever tell ye about it? Back in '79
the thing happened. | wuz fore
mast hand on the brig Heave Ho,
bound from Ceylon to London, with
a full cargo of rice in the hold.
All went well till we wuz seven days
out. Then the Heave Ho sprung
leak. 1t wuz a small leak, an
at first we thought nothin' of it,
only we noticed arfter we had been
working the pumps awhile that the
things fetched up no water. There
wuz the water lcakin' into the
Heave Ho all right, but no sooner
did it enter than it disappeared
The pumps couldn't get a drop of it.
"The skipper, when he seed how
things wuz goin', turned as white
as yer shirt. Men, he SEE, the rice
in the hold is absorbin' the watcr
EASTERN we can pump it out. The
rice is a-swellin'. If it keeps on
a-swellin' it'll bust the shipp SO
then an there began a battle be-
twixt us an the rice as to who was
to get the water that leaked in. We
pumped, ] tell ye. We worked hard,
but hard as we worked the rice
worked harder-it collared more O
the water than we did, an it KEEP
a-swellin' an a-swellin'.
"At the end O. the second day
the planks an timbers began to
groan. They wuz bein' wrenched
an twisted out O. place by the swell
in rice. We'll have to take to the
boats, menu the skipper SEE at the
end, an to the boats we took, leav-
in the Heave Ho on a starry night.
We didn't leave her none too soon.
She busted an hour after we wuz
gone. With a great rendin' sound
she busted, an a white cloud O. rice
shot up into the moonlit air. A
strange sight it were, lads, an one
seldom saw by mankindp - Ex-

The Bees Feet.

Naturalists say that the feet of
the common working bee exhibit
the curious combination of basket,
a brush and pair of pincers. The
brush, the hairs of which are ar
ranged in symmetrical rows, is seen
only with high grade microscope.
With this brush of fairy delicacy
the bee brushes its velvet robe to
remove the pollen dust with which
it becomes loaded while sucking up
the nectar of flowers. Another deli
cate apparatus is the spoon shaped
appendage that receives the CLEAN
ings that the bee wishes to carry to
the hive. Finally, by opening the
brush and the basket by means of
neat little hinge, the two become a
pair of pincers, which render i'm
portant service in constructing the
cells for the reception of the honey.

HIGHLY COLORED HILARITY.
Queer Kind of Fun That Goes With
One Hindu Festival.

One Hindu Festival.
The "Holi Festival" as celebrated
annually by the maharaja of Patiala.
India, is described by Charles Ber-
tram in his volume, "a Magician In
Many Lands" Mr.. Bertram writes:
early in the morning | went to the
club, where found many of the
guests, who were taking part In the
ceremony for the first time. We were
provided with a complete new suit Of
Hindu garments, and our dressing
was superintendent by the maharaja's
servants. We had camels, elephants
and victorias provided for u.s. ! was
on an elephant, in a kind of box, and
we drove In procession to the palace
of the native city.
1--WE were received with great ac-
claim by the natives. and was led to
believe that 1t was to be decidedly a
dignified occasion, but was woefully
mistaken The fun had not begun.
Certain formalities had to be gone
through before the signal was given.
1--WE took our seats In the courtyard
loaded with large gilt dishes filled with
different colored balls as large as or
anges and filed with holi powder. AT
a signal the brother of the maharaja
came to the front of the table and sa-
laamed to the prince. who took one of
the balls and threw it gently across
the table. striking the officer on tho
breast.
"The ball broke and scattered the
powder over his costume. Then there
was a general scramble, and in less
time than 1t takes TO write hundreds
of balls were flying about, their many
colored contents scattered broadcast
on the crowd. Next baskets of loose
powder were thrown upon us in hand
fuls.
ut was no use to eXpostulate; the
moment you opened your mouth some
body filed it with powder. The battle
grew fast and furious, when suddenly
an enormous stream of water from a
fire engine drenched everybody. The
colored powders became wet and, min
Cling together, dyed US all in brilliant
ly variegated hues.
after this sort of thing had gone on
for half an hour it ceased by mutual
consent, and we returned to the pri-
vate gardens of the maharaja. where
we were most unceremoniousy pitch

At the Bottom of the Sea.

As to the topography of the sea
bottom there are few sudden de-
pressions or elevations, except near
the continents. In general it is
vast plain covered with a layer
composed chihy of the remains of
minute organic creatures, largely
the rhizopods, which furnish food
to so great part of marine ami
mails. Over this lies flaky materi-
al, once supposed to be kind of
primordial organism and named by
Huxley bathyblus. 1t is now known
not to be living matter, but it is
certainly organic and consists of
the partially decomposed remains
of marine creatures.

How He Wrote the Name.

Had not Sidney Porter, better
known by his pen name, o. Henry,
decided on literary career, he
might have won fame as a cartoon
list OF even as a portrait painter,
having natural talent in that direc-
ton. 1t is related of him that when
he worked for his uncle as a clerk
a very important acting gentleman
came in one day and ordered some
things which were to be charged.
He assumed that the young clerk
knew him, and Porter did not like
to admit the contrary by betraying
that he could not write the custom
er's name. SO instead he made
list of the articles sold and at the
top jotted a drawing of the gentle
man which enabled the uncle later
to identify the purchaser.

The late King Edward one time
visited the old castle that was the

of honor the old noblewoman had

When the cigarettes reached a

handed it to his wife with marked
