The boat was ^ I coining in response to their signals, and j, the sight inspired Jcnks with fresh q hope. I.ike a lightning flash came the r reflection that if he could keep then) { away from the well and destroy the a sampan now hastening to their assist- t. unco, perhaps conveying the hulk of a their stores, they would soon tire of s slaking their thirst on the few pitcher n plants growing on the north shore. "Conic quick!" ho shouted, adjusting the back sight of a ritie. "Lie down and aim at the front of that boat, a little 11 short if anything. It doesn't matter if It the bullets strike tlic sea first."

Soon both rifles wore pitching twenty j tl i shots a minute at the sampan. The re- i tl ' suit of their ions range practice was ' a not long in doubt. The I>y:;ks danced f from seat to seat in a state of wild ex- v eitomont. One man was hurled over- tl hoard.

One of the favorite sports of a Polish uintrj- gentleman Is to capture a wolf Ive, und as his mode of doing It Is robably new to many Englishmen I ill briefly describe it. A wolf being \ riven into the open, the well mounted , H'semun pursues it, armed only with long whip and some rope. The wolf fter a time tries to take rest, but the der forces It on with his whip till, fter repented attempts at rest, it sinks | thaustcd. The rider then springs 'uiii his horse, jumps astride the wolf ii.l, holding it by the cars, secures it | ilii the rope. Most men require the J ssislnncc of a mounted companion, j In ties the wolf while the other holds j s ears with both hands, and in this ay the capture is comparatively easy, id to do it single banded is a difficult ; \:t. Nasty bites and even dangerous j minis result should the hunter have i dscainitiated the strength of the aid- | ml. No one, however, is considered a j erfeet sportsman till lie lias done this, ! i i many never succeed, (if the large irty assembled only our host, two of is stalwart brothers and cue other >an lmd obtained this blue ribbon of olisb sport.?Blaekwood's Magazine.

The student j liowed his hands, which had sonic , ainl 011 them, and replied that he was oiug to wash thorn. Couture dabbed is thumb in some paint on the palette f the nearest student und made a incur 011 the dainty pupil's forehead. You'd better wash your face, too." io said. The face washing was tho 1st act of the students when they had inished their work for the day. Tho alnty pupil took the hint to heart, pologized and sat down at his easel rltliout visiting the tub.

( I The liar (Ii'm Swift Motion. , Everybody knows that the earth 1 lakes one complete revolution on its xis once in each twenty-four hours, < ut few. however, have any idea of the *' igh rate of speed at which such an im- ' lenso ball must turn in order to no- 1 omplish the feat of making one revo- s ution in a day and a night. A graphic lea of the terrific pace which the old ^ arth keeps up year after year may lie ad by comparing its speed to that of cannon ball tired from a modern high ressure gun.

This is equal to 17 miles a c liuute. j | The EiiiprcHMcn of UumnIm. | During the eighteenth century no loss lian four empresses held sway over *j iussia, and if perhaps the throne was njustly usurped in more than one intance it can at least he said of nil of i liem that they reigned more wisely lian the emperors of that period and s liat they have left names more famous (f lian those of their male predecessors , nd successors.
