Mrs. McRaney's Experience. Mrs. M. McRanev.

'perly. In the first place, the hoops should be just large enough -not - large. however, that the sail does n. set close to the mast. Lower the th "at first and follow it with the peak. If the peak is dropped first, says a n-riter in Country Life In Amer ica, t' sail will not come down. It 1 goes v .thout saying that the sail must ] be sh i en when you want to lower 1 It. Tc lower a centerboard when un der way put the helm up and keep the boat cfr. A small boat can be stop ped by putting the helm up and down across the boat quickly. This is use- 1 ful in coming up to a dock or moor ing. A boat can be got out of stays 1 by dropping her peak and then hoist- 1 ing it when she is under way. An other way is to put the helm down. 1 slack the main sheet and let her drift 1 back; then trim her quickly and she will sail away. Always go to the lee side of a dock. When a boat is towed 1 make sure that it has a good painter, especially at night. Candor. The colonel had remonstrated vigor ously with Uncle Eph about the old darky's persistent excursions into the state of inebriation. Uncle Eph, 1 though he promised faithfully to re frain from frequent dips into the flow ing bowl, failed to live up to the colo nel's expectations. On numerous oc casions the colonel saw Eph under the1 influence of liquor, but the darky when taken to task stoutly denied the ac cusation, affrming emphatically that he did not drink. One evening the colonel met Ujncle Eph in a condition1 which made It plainly evident that 1 the darky was "caught with the goods on'" "Eph," began the colonel seriously, "I thought you told me that you had given uip drink?" "Ah sho' did, Massa Kern'l; Ah sho' did," replied Eph. "But lately Ah dun took up drinkin' an' gib up lyin'." Harper's Weekly. The Crab In the Oyster. "The little crab found in the oyster," said "a dealer, "Is not, as supposed by tw'sthirds of the oyster eaters, I the yo~img of the blue crab, but is a] distine: species. It is a messmate of and caterer to the wants of the oyster, being, therefore, a benefit instead of a1 detrime~nt to the latter-. In return for the oysters kindness in protecting ~lt1 against its enemies the little crab catches and crushes food which In its entire state could not be taken by the oyster. A singular thing in connection with thaem is that all found inside of the oyster are females. The male of the sam~e variety has a hard shell." A Story For Papa.

"when the Englishman will marry the Boer girl ind have an English wife as well!" Respectable dowagers looked their urprise, and the men began to smile.

"Women viewing another woman's wedding presents say things which are likely to be misinterpreted," said the bachelor who declares he hates weddings, but always goes when in vited, according to the Washington Post, "and other things which no fa vorable interpretation would make complimentary to the bride or to the givers. It's the way of the sex. I sup pose. Now, why is it that the most common remark of the women who are inspecting the layout of silver and cut glass and other gifts more or less useful is. 'What a lot of presents she goty They don't mean anything un kind, but the inference an uninitiated eavesdropper would draw is that they wonder why she got so many, as if by rights she shouldn't have had half so many. Of course they vary the re mark. 'What a lucky girl!' says one. as if she would like to add. -Some per sons have too much luck.' And an other says, 'I wonder where they all came from' implying almost as if the bride couldn't have enough friends to make so many gifts and must have sent some of them to herself just to making a showing." World's Cleanest Soldiers. The Japanese soldier considers it a disgrace to be dirty. Soldiers of other nationalities are not always overpar ticular, but, as Mr. Kipling has sung: Oh, east is east. aed west is west. and never the twain shall meet. However, the Japanese military man is not provided by a grateful and be neficent government with a portable bath. so when on active service he has to set his wits to work in order to ob tain the necessary adjuncts to his ab lutions. The Chinese. for reasons of their owr.. manufacture long and large jars, whose diam:eter is that of a western main drain. It occurred to a br-ight Japanese that one might just as well have a bath standing up as lying down. Accordingly he and his comrades in ter-ed a jar. built a furnace beneath it and illed it with water. Soon a boiling hot bath - bubbled before them. Imitators sprang into being and sub sequently into similar baths.-Bystand er. Had Been Anticipated. A London composer was one summer engaged en the score of an opera, and as the weather was very hot he worked with the windows of his study open. This fact was taken advantage of by his neighbor, a lady, an accom plished music-ian. with a very quick and retentive ear, to play upon him a harmless practical joke. i One morning he completed and tried over a new march, and the lady on the same afternoon seated herself at her grand piano, opened her windows and rolled forth the air fortissimo. The composer rushed distractedly into his garden to his wife and, tearing his hair in anguish, cried out: "My dear. I give It up! I thought I had composed an original tune, but it must be a delusion, for my grand march-my chef d'oeuvre, as I thought it-is only a reminiscence and is al ready the property of some music pub Uisher!" They Sat Down. One night at a theater some scenery took fire, and a very perceptible odor of bur-ning alarmed the spectators. A panic seemed to be imminent whben an actor appeared on the stage '"Ladies and gentlemen," he said. "omnpose yourselves. There is no danger." The audience did not seem reas sured. "-Ladies and gentlemen," continued the comedian, rising to the necessity of the occasion-"confound it all-do you think if there was any danger I'd be here?" The panic collapsed.

Walk up from the outskirts of the city and you will pass the font whieb gave bamptism to King Etheibert 1,300 years ago. The font still stands. the worshipers still tount the slope, and One considers whether it was Augustine or Bertha who dragged the king aud. husband to that font.-London Chronicle. I A Gallant Clergyman. It is said that the Rev. Sydney Smith could be gallant as well as witty on occasion. "Oh. Mr. Smith, I cannot bring this flower to perfection," said a young ldy to him once as she showved him about her conservatory. Whereupon he took her by the hand and said, "-Then let me bring perfec tion to the flower." A "Place of Learning." Sydney Smith, once asked why a ce tan college was called a place or' learn Iing, replied that, although a great many had been there to get learning. no one had ever taken learning away: hence it was appropriately named. - Officeholders.

Now that smallpox, thanks to com pulsory vaccination, has become a rar ity in civilized communities, scarlet fever steps forward as the worst of the eruptive diseases of childhood it is a malady of enormous; antiquity. Thueydides, writing nearly 500 years before the beginning of our era, called it a heritage from the remote past. It has scourged the white races in all ages and all countries, and the phy sicians of all schools h:ve leveled their hcavics- artillery upon it. Yet it remains a puzzle unsolved and an enemy unconquered even today. We are in doubt as to its cause, and there is no drug or antitoxin that will cure it. But despite all this the death rate from scarlet fever is steadily declin ing, and we may expect it to decline more and more as the years go by. The reason for this. I take it, lies in the fact that the modern doctor is a great'deal more sparing with pills and I powders than his predecessor and a great deal more lavish with water, air and antiseptics. In the old days it was customary to dose :carlet fever patients with all sorts of violent reme dies in staggering quantities. and as a result many of them died. Today medicines are but minor auxiliaries in the sickroom, and both doctor and nurse devote their main energies to preventing a spread of the infection. Delineator. USE FOR A TELESCOPE. Interesting Discovery One Woman Made by Use of the Glass. "I thought it was a pretty fair sort of telescope for one that wasn't very big," said Uncle Silas. "I rigged it up in the attic by the high north win dow and had it fixed so it would swing around easy. I took a deal "of satisfaction in looking through it, the sky seemed so wide and full of won ders. so when Hester was here I thought I'd give her the pleasure too. She stayed a long time upstairs and seemed to be enjoying .it. When she came down I asked her if she'd dis covered anything new. "Yes.' she says. 'Why, it made everybody's house seem so near that I seemed to be right beside 'em. and I found out what John Pritchard's folks are doin' in their outkitchen. I've wondered what they had a light there for night after night. and I just turned the glass on their win dows.

The late Dr. James Freeman Clarke used to tell this story of his dog: "At one time my dog was fondl Oi going to the railway station to see the people, and I always ordered him to go home, fearing he would be hurt by the cars. He easily understood that if he went there it was contrary to my wishes. So whenever he was near the station if he saw me coining he would look the other way and pretend not to know me. If he met me anywhere else he always bounded to meet me with great delight. But at thr' station it was quite different. He would pay no attention to my whistle or my call. He ev-en pretended to te another dog and would look me right in the face without apparently recognizing me. He gave me the cut direct in the most impertinent manner, the reason evi dontly being that he know ho was doing what was wrong and did not like to be found out. Possibly lie may have relied a little on my nearsighted ness in his maneuver." Crushed. Stonebroke-Do you think your fa ther would object to my marrying you? Heiress-I don't know.
