It is one p< of the most profitable branches of the w: icr/ice. There is n station on the blufl si' of tho Highlands of Navesink, coast of w New Jersey, from which stretches a wire fa that taps stations at Sandy Hock and gl the C^unt antine grounds on St>'/9n Ial- tli and on its winding way to this city. Those three stations report all the ves- re eels that enter and leave port by way of y< Sandy Hook. Tho stations are called hi marine observatories. Those ot Sandy ki Hook and tiic Highlands of Navesink are 'r conducted by three men, who take turns ^ of eight hours each. Their principal ni duty is to sight and signal passing craft, 81 but, in addition to being marine observers, they are experienced telegraphers. ra First of all they sight au incoming craft in the cast oiling oi seaward toward the w east or south, and then they read the ? four colored Hags which sho flies. These flags are part of the international code of siguals. . , ? . < By uicnris of an international agree- 'H meut every registered ocean vessel has ^ a certain set of signals to indicate her name. No two vessels belonging to the " same company havo the same signals. ' Tl...r? arn .... 1.. A f t.,. lo * "VI'/ ???w UW *"'?

The disaster signals of incoming eraft arc also a source of great trouble to tha marine operator. The mere presence of the signal flags II. B., N. M. or N.

"T ~T~ ERDS of wild homes are still dri l^i 'OUQ^ roaming orer the plains wa X^l. of western Kansas and eastern gr< Colorado, where the irrigating ' * ditch has not yet meandered, and conse- I quently the ranchman is still absent. I in' There is plenty of buffalo grass on theso am arid prairies, but crops will not grow we without artifical application of moisture, mil henco t^o wild horses and the almost trs equally wild cattle hare etUl undisputed tioi possession. . ? tro The wild horse isn't the least bit like nor the Texas or Indian pony. He is hoarier, weighing from 800 to 1000 pounds, smi while the pony weighs from 500 to 750 pat pounds; he is squarely built, broad tw< across the hips, strong limbed, high *'lc headed and stylish, while the Indian >u" pony is slim, thin leggod, slendor in ,nH body, low headed and a "slouch," but the pony is shipped Eait and sold, while ?IX the wild hdyse ia kept at homo. There ,n are two reason* for keeping tho wild ?' hones at home. First, the plainsmen 111,1 know when they have a good thing, and, *ac second, a wild horse has to be broken an' wii every time he is hitched up. There is no U90 in trying to broak a wild horse so that ho will stay broken; ar one might as well try to teach an Indian to wear curl papers; but these wild am hones are sure-footed, long-windod ? strong-nerved saddle horses,and untiring crc in harness. A team of these fellows, the weighing not more than nine hundred to pounds to the horse, will travel, week in and week out, at the rato of 100 miles a ,jUj day, drawing the driver and an ordinary the two-seated light waj^on. cit< The method of capturing thoso wild to I horses is peculiar and worthy of deaorip- mo tion. They are not run down, but are ten walked down. Each band of wild horses enc k.. it. ? S.l 1 uob no mug*;, naa woo t3 any cor Intruders from other bands. The range use seldom exceeds fifty miles in extent. i Those who make it thoir business to cad* cvt ture them go in parties of four, with a Yo wagon in which they carry provisions , for themselves, grain for thoir hones, barrels of water, lariats, etc. As arulo they take with them fifteen or twenty r01 saddle horses in order that they may 3?* change mounts three or four times each 041 twenty-four hours. They travel until *w they discover with strong field glasses a bard of wild horses ten or fifteen milos distant. Then they make camp , leaving two map in charge- in, ' "ot itio supply wagon and the e\tra saddle cu horses. Tho other two then be^in their *hi fatiguing task of walking the wild horsei F? down. They start toward thoir game ?h bearing slightly to the right, in order to " get tliem started in a circle. Their ob- ro1 I ject is to keep them circling around tho ha I camp within a radius of twonty or thirty 1?' miles. This Is for the purposo of being t? near enough to their base of supplies to bu i obtain fresh horses, and to allow the nil tired one? to rest. When tho "king" of 'ol the hand first catches sight of tho men, he ho starts off at break-neck speed, the t? rest following him. For a few miles f?' t they pound along in a straight line an I w? then begin to circle slightly. The pur- to suers manage to keep sight of the game w< and to kocp them going until they begin ?n to get tired and thirsty. The riders let , never rush in on thorn; that would apoil ah all thoir chancoi of a successful result. H Their solo object now Is to keep the ar game moving an I prevent tliom from ^ obtaining any water or food. Hurprising ha f as It may soom, it takes about three , tl< , weeks of this "Dr. Tanner" business to | 'r< ( to get tho wiMhorsoa sufficiently starved 1 down to allow an approach within a mile fo I of tliem. After this point is ? .. - ' ? lenonea, uie mon can easily koep the 11 horses going in an over decreasing circle, (* until at last they arc "milling" around be within a radius of not more than tifty Wl i yards. Now all four of the men corns ni into active service. They take a rope, at fr< least dee hundred feet long, and, making w< i a alip loose iu one end of it eight or ten be . feet in diameter, tbey apread this upon Uu . the ground aaid drive tho game over It. wi , One of the men pulls the rope ?nd goner* af ( ally succee Ja in snaring the foot of one fa of the wild horses.

He can't ratko bi , ranch speed, because the chain wraps around his other foreleg sod impedes his ra I progreaj. After the chain is attaciel in l the bhrse is release 1 and allowed to join at | tho band. This process of capture and bt , release is repeetod until all of the wild , horses have been ohaioed. 1 The hont is noW over, the "game*' ^ ? captured and taisol to thy <hgtty of ^ i trainee in the minds of tho men.

The fnvor with which the new bread, made with Royal Baking Powder instead of yeast, has been received by our beat housekeepers and moat expert bread makers ia really wonderful. It saves all the hard and tedious work of kneading 8nd moulding," writes one. "Leas than an hour from the dry flour to the most perfect loaf of bread I ever saw," writes another. Fresh bread every day/'saysf'nother, "and that tho lightest, finest and most wholesome, is something to live for." "Wo relish the bread better than the old kind;" "it is ahead of any yeast bread I ever baked;" "the bread was whiter and softer." "Best of all," writes an enthusiasts housewife, "we can eat the Royal unfomented bread when freshly baked, or even when warm, with perfect impunity. It is actually an anti-dyspeptic." ' This bread has a 'nutty' taste, thai is peculiarly pleasing," writes still another. This is owing to the fact thai tho active gas-producing principle of the Royal is derived from the pure grape acid. The great value of this bread arises from the fact that in it are preserved all me most nutritive clcmeuts of tbe dour, some of which are decomposed and destroyed byjthc action of yeast. The Iom of theso properties is what makes fresh yeast bread unwholesome. Tbe use of the Royal Raking Powder instead of yeast is fonud to make a finer, lighter bread, devoid of all dyspeptic qualities. The samo gas?carbonic?is produced as where yeast is used, but it is evolved from the baking powder itself and not from the flour. Thereby the bread is made more wholesome and actually antidyspeptic. The greater convenience, where a batch of the finest bread can be made and baked in 1r?s than an hour with no danger ol ->v .1 or heavy loaf, must be appreciated by everyone. The receipt for making this bread is herewith given, and housekeepers will do well to cut it out and preserve it: To mako one loaf?One quart flour, one teaspoonful salt, half a teaspoonful sugar, two heaping tenspoonfuls Royal Baking Powder, half medlum-siled cold boiled potato, and water. ttift together thoroughly flour, salt, sugar and baking powder; rub in the potato; add sufficient water to mix smoothly and rapidly into a stiff hatter, about as soft ss for poundcake; about a pint of water to a quart of flour will be required?more or leas according to the brand and quality of the flour used. Do not make a stiff dough, like yeast bread. Pour the batter into a greased pan, 4^x8 inches, and four inches deep, Ailing about half full. The loaf will rise to Ail the pan when baked. Bake in very hot oven forty-five minutes, placing paper over first fifteen minutes baking, to prevent crusting too soon on top. Bake at once. Don't mix \tith milk. Perfect success requires the most careful observance of nil theae details, and the author of the receipt emphasises the statement that Royal Baking Powder only can be u*ed because it is the only powder in which the ingredients ar< prepared so as to givo that continuoui action nccessnry to raise the larger bread loaf.
