and
A London gentleman advertised far
apartments at a fashionable watering
place and received many repllea. He
pitched upon one chiefly because it
mentioned a splendid "sea view,” and,
as it was not convenient for him to
leave his business to see the apart- *
men Is, he closed with the offer by
poet, sending a substantial deposit.
When the time came for him to take
his holiday he duly arrived at his
destination and was surprised to find
that not a glimpse of the sea was ob
tainable from any window Of bla
apartments.
"I thought you said there was a
splendid sea view?” he said angrily
to the landlady.
"So there Is, sir,” replied the land
lady. drawing his attention to a picture
on the wall, a really excellent painting
of the sea.
"Why, you—er—er— What do you
mean by such a swindle?” gasped the
gentleman, “I meant a view of the
real sea.”
“Oh, did you, sir?” coolly said the
landlady, "If you will refer to my
letter you will see that I distinctly
stated there was a splendid sea view
‘in’ the drawing room. Had I meant a
view of the real sea I should have said
there was a splendid sea view ‘from’
the drawing room. I cannot think how
an educated gentleman, as you evi
dently are. could have made such an
egregious error!”—London Tit-Bits.

WING SHOOTING.
It Cannot Bo Taught to Hunt.r« by
Reading Books.
Wing shooting can no more be theo
retically taught than can riding, skat
ing, sailing a boat, milking a cow or
playing the violin. Practice and perse
verance In this, as In all field sports,
can alone make perfect, while the most
persistent effort even then often fails
to make a “crack shot." Certain rules,
however, must govern the beginner,
which. If observed, will materially aid
him In becoming an expert.
When a novice takes the field for
game he is very apt to become flut-
tered, or "rattled.” at the critical mo- I
ment when the bird Is flushed, and
then he will stare, open mouthed, and
wonder how It happened. This often
• occur« In the field, and the tyro Invari
ably has some plausible excuse to of
fer. His "gun was not cocked," he
“stubbed his toe Just as the bird rose”
or some equally weak explanation Is
made, or else he lays all the blame on
his dogs, whose thoughts, could they
but express them, It would be Interest
ing to Interpret.
The best wing shooters do not close
one eye In aiming, nor do they follow
the bird In Its flights wltb the muzzle
of the gun, but closing one eye Is ad
mittedly better than tightly shutting
both, as many young would be sports
men have been known to do.—James
W. Dixon In Recreation.

Wagner's Childlike Happiness.
While In London in 1855 Wagner
took a walk every day In Regent's
park. There, at the small bridge over
the ornamental water, would he stand
regularly and feed the ducks, having
previously provided himself for the
purpose with a number of French rolls,
rolls ordered each day for the occasion.
There was a swan, too, that came In
for much of Wagner's affection. It
was a regal bird and fit, ns the master
said, to draw the chariot of Lohengrin.
The childlike happiness, full to over
flowing, with which this Innocent occu
pation filled Wagner was an Impress
ive sight never to be forgotten. It was
Wagner you saw before yon, the nat
ural man. affectionate, gentle and
mirthful.—From Ferdinand Draeger’»
"Wagner as I Knew Him.”

Huxley’« Larger View.
James Hannay, once a member of
the staff of the Pall Mall Gazette, was
a typical man of letters. And Huxley,
as everybody knows, was a typleal
scientific man
nannay had been a
midshipman when Huxley was a naval
surgeon. Years after the two met
each other on the steps of the British
museum. "Huxley.” said Hannay, “I
care nothing for man except as a crea
ture of historical tradition.”
"Nor I.” answered Huxley, “for him
except as a compound of gas and wa
ter.
"But." he added. "If we were each
of us better educated men than we
are we should know how to respect
each other's studies more."

Fir«
Th« Mosquito«« That lnf««t th« Region
of Lak« Nya«»«.
The career of the wrecker on a big
railroad 1« like that of a fireman In
the fire department of a big city, only
more strenuous. Like the fireman, the
wrecker 1« on duty every second day
and night, and. like the fireman, the
wrecker braves blizzards and sleet
storms, often facing hardships and
cruel suffering and even death for
the saving of life and property, But
whereas even in emergency the fire
man never covers an area greater than
the most populous section of a city—the
line traversed by the wrecker covers a
hundred or more miles—and whereas
the fireman 1» In touch with at least
such comforts as he may snatch while
on his feet, not Infrequently the wreck
er is landed In the heart of a wilder
ness miles and miles from the nearest
town, and the pangs of hunger arc
added to privation.
Sometimes when a big wreck has
happened and cars and engines are
piled high on crushed and mangled
bodies the wrecker Is rushed through
darkness and snowdrift to work from
twenty-four to forty-eight hours with
out even a chance to take his cap off,
and Just as bis "Job” Is nearly complet
ed along comes another alarm that
sends him sixty or seventy miles In an
opposite direction, where box cars and
coal cars have heaped themselves thir
ty feet high, paralyzing the road and
costing thousands of dollars' worth of
loss In time and prestige almost every
hour.
Despite these hardships, the danger,
the excitement and the bustle of the
work endear it to the men.—A, W.
Rolker In Appleton’s.
In -his book "From the Cape to
Cairo” E. 8. Grogan writes: "The
Kungu fly. which is peculiar to Lake
Nyassa. resembles small May files,
and at certain seasons of the year they
rise from the water In such stupendous
clouds that they blot out the whole
horizon. Seen In the distance they
have exactly the appearance of a rain
storm coming across the lake. When
they are blown landward they make
every place uninhabitable by the
stench which arises from the countless
millions that lodge and die on every
Inch of sheltered ground, I myself
have seen them lying a foot deep In
a room, and I was told that they are
often much worse. The natives sweep
them up and make cakes of them.
“Biting and poisonous ants are an
other pest, but the mosquito is the
great enemy of man. It was abso
lutely necessary to turn In half an
hour before sunset and to make all
the preparations for the night. I piled
all my belongings round the edge of
my net and kept a green wood fire
burning at each end, and then I lay
Inside, smoked the native tobacco and
prayed for morning. As soon as the
sun went down the mosquitoes started
operations.
“It was like having a tame whirl
wind in one's tent. They ftuld not
possibly have been worse.
Every
night 200 or 300 contrived to enter my
net—I have no Idea how. The most
pernicious and poisonous kind was a
very small black mosquito that might
possibly have penetrated the mesh. I
used to turn out in the morning per
fectly dazed from the amount of poi
son that had been Injected during the
night.”
EASY FOR MORPHY,
8tory of the Great Chess Master and a
Celebrated Painting.
Paul Morphy, on his visit to Phila
delphia. was the guest of a clergyman,
the Rev. Mr. H. On his arrival at the
minister’s home the chess master was
first ushered into the library, and his
attention was at once attracted by a
painting over the mantel, which was a
fine copy of a celebrated painting rep
resenting a game of chess between a
young man and the devil, the stake be
ing the young man's soul.
The artist had most graphically de
picted the point In the game where it
was apparently the young man's move,
and he seemed Just to realize the fact
that he had lost the game, the agony of
despair being shown In every line of
his features and attitude, while the
devil from the opposite side of the ta
ble gloated over him with fiendish de
light. The position of the game appear
ed utterly hopeless for the young man,
and Mr. H. said be had often set It up
and studied It with his chess friends,
and all agreed the young man's game
was certainly lost.
Mr. Morphy walked up to the picture
and studied It for several minutes,
when finally, turning to Mr. H., ho
said:
“I can win the game for the young
man.”
Mr. H. was of course astonished and
said, “Is It possible?”
Mr. Morphy replied, “Get out the
men and board and let us look at it.”
The position was set up, and In a
few rapid moves he demonstrated a
complete win for the young man, and
the devil was checkmated.
Rice at Weddings.
At a wedding breakfast, according
to What to Eat, a bridesmaid was
heard to tell the true reason for rice
being used at weddings. It was once
believed that If on their wedding jour
ney a newly wedded couple saw a flock
of doves It would mean a long life of
peace nnd happiness to them. A bridal
party In passing so frightened a flock
of these timid birds that they flew
away In great alarm, and to avert the
evil omen that their flight signified for
the newly married couple rice was
thrown In great quantities to lure the
birds back to the place from which I
they had flown. This plan was so
successful that the wedded pair went
on their way rejoicing and lived ever
Afterward a happy and prosperous life.
Since then rice has been used as a
symbol of good luck, peace and happi
ness at weddings.

In treating the lagging, torpid liver It Is
a great mistake to lash It with strong

indication of an Ill-nourished, enfeebled

Foresight With Which These Animals
Build Winter Homes.
In the month of March, before the
rivers have opened, on the snow around
the heads of the creeks and about the
airholes in the thick fee may be seen
the curious trail of the muskrat. It
can readily be recognized by the firmly
planted footmarks, heavily and slowly
Impressed, and the sharp after drag of
the long, scaly, bladelike tall. All
through the cold winter months these
heavily furred animals have lived
warm and comfortable In their well
constructed houses, rearing their third
and last litter. One house erected
about September seemed planned with
almost human foresight. Here, with
their long sharp teeth and strong, inch
long claws, they had cut and cleared
wide paths through all the marshes—
paths so deep that three feet of Ice did
not close them, so wide that we have
often paddled along them, marveling
at the great floating masses of torn up
aquatic vegetation. These paths were
a hundred yards long and four feet
wide and were cut through a mass of
tangled cover high enough In most
places to thoroughly conceal a duck
hunter and his canoe. In the winter
months the muskrats can easily dive
from their houses into these under Ice
channels, and the whole marsh is be
fore them to choose their meal from.
The long yellow roots of the flag and
the Juicy tubers of the wild onion (the
muskrat apple Is the more poetic OJlb-
way) hang exposed before them or are
readily torn out.—Bonnycastle Dale in
Outing Magazine.
The American Sailor.
It is related of Commodore Decatur
that after he had tamed the Barbary
powers, whose energies had been re
awakened while the war of 1812 kept
our navy busy, he set out in his flag
ship, the Guerrlere, to make bls way
across the Mediterranean unattended
and suddenly found himself in the
midst of one of the corsair fleets which
had remained lu a neutral port during
hostilities. The situation looked rather
squally. The corsair admiral hailed.
“What sheep Is dat?” “The L’nited
States ship Guerrlere. Commodore De
catur." was the reply. “Where you
going?” was the next question. "Where
I please!” thundered Decatur through
the speaking trumpet, and the Guer
rlere proceeded unmolested. - Boston
