But he did. He knew it bettor than all ot na.

Twang and Bting, and, if you like, I will let yon train them.’ Of course I accepted his proposition eagerly, and lay awake half that night thinking over my good luck. The next morning the horses were sent to the track, and, boy like, I wanted to begin operations on them at once. Bo I harnessed Sting np to a snlky that I borrowed for the occasion from one of the trainers, and while this was being done took Twang ont in the field inside the track, and turned him out to gnaar tying him by a long rope to a strong stake which I drove into the ground. Than I went back and began driving Sting. “I warmed the old horse np pretty well, and started to drive him a full mile. We got along very nicely until we came to the place where Twang was nibbling grass. The old horse saw hia mate coming at a very unusual rate ol speed, and as we neared him he gave a loud whinny and started in hot pursuit. When he had galloped the length of the rope that held him, there waa a snddr stop. The stake to which the rope tied held its own, and the rear’ w “ that Twang turned a double and broke his neck.

While Joel 0. Harris (“Uncle Remus’’) was sitting at his desk in the Atlanta Cfma'ifntion editorial rooms, OoL Exrs K. Watterson, the well-known planter of Long Cane, accompanied by a friend entered and demanded to know by what antbority Mr. Harris was mak ing such free use of the name of his daughter, Mies Dora. The demand completely nonplussed the genial author, and the irate father look his hesitation as an evidence of guilt. Hostily throw ing his band hack to his hip pocket he waa grasped by CoL Sam W. Small and With much difficulty was restrained. Palling out a memorandum-book he took therefrom the following newspaper paragraph: “Joel 0. Harris, the humorist of the Atlanta Omutitution, is about to be married to Miss Dora W* tter#on > the youngest daughter of OoL Ears K. Watterson, the richest cotton planter in Georgia." "It is a shame, sir,” said the old gentleman, “that snob use should be made of a lady’s name. My daughter, who Is shortly to be married to one whom the has knpwn from childhood, has been thrown into serious illness by the publi cation.” Mr. Harris, on examining the para graph, found no difficulty in tracing it to Eugene Field's column in the Chicago Newt. The Chicago humorist had in advertently hit upon the names of genuine people. When convinced of this OoL Watterson declared his intention of having satisfaction, even if it made neoessary a trip to Chicago, He is jnst the man to carry ont his promise walls of the reception room with nauti cal designs, sea-serpents, and other ma rine monsters; and throngh his instru mentality at least one of the old masters has been placed in every room—in some oases two. Ranged side by side at long tables in a well-appointed dining-hall, the weath er-beaten old salts are served by a num ber of their comrades, selected by tbs governor especially for this service. There is no stint—no fixed quantity or ration beyond which an inmate may not go. The tables are loaded down with well-selected, well cooked food, and it is a pleasing tight to watch the fine old fellows as they "buckle to,” to to speak, in dead earnest. That niot distinction that obtains on shipbosrd between the position of inmates of the cabin and the forecastle has no place here. Men who have keen disabled while serving before the mast sometimes find it difficult to comprehend this, and it is said that in stances are by no means rare where new comers have shown an inclination to keep on the lee-side of the dining-room in deference to the presence of captains under which they have served. They soon outgrow this, however, and learn to sit at the table beside their former com manders with oomposhre. Thus it not infrequently happens that the once master of a great ship finds himself in company with men who, during the tempest and the gale, were wont to do his bidding. When skies are dear and freshening breezes drive the prow throngh glistening seas, the great war ship strides haughtily past the peaceful merehsmtrasn er humble fishing-smack; but whes clouds lower and tempests threaten,' they seek alike the shelter of the same harbor, and ride side by side at anchor as members of one common brotherhood. So at Snug Harbor the captain, the inmate of the galley, and Jack before the mast forget their former stations. Shattered by the same gales, they have dropped anchor here till the storms of life are oast.

All that is'required is an ordi nary wooden tab and a shallow galvan ised iron tray, twenty inches in diameter, having the bottom in two parts hinged to a central bar so as to open downward. The trayte to be placed in the tub,' which is then filled with sea water. A number of fiat stones are arranged in the tray ahd the water te then fertilized and the stones coated with eggs. This having been dona, the tray is taken ont of the tab and lowered to the bottom of the sea by means of four cords, two of which are attached to the rim of tha tray and one to each half of tha bottom. When the tray has reached the sea floor the cords attached to tha hinged bottom are set free and the tray raised by the the cords fastened to Its edges, the re sult being that the stones coated with the fertilised ova are left on the natural hatching-ground.
