~ BATTLE ON A BRIG.
Truthful Account of the Rate cf the
Old Heave Ho,
An old sailor on having a plate
ful of rice pudding put before him
became reminiscent.
“I fought a battle with rice wunst
an’ got licked,” he said. “Didn’t 1
ever tell ye about it? Back in ’79
the thing happened. I wuz a fore
mast hand on the brig Heave Ho,
bound from Ceylon to London, with
a full cargo of rice in the hold.
All went well till we wuz seven days
out. Then the Heave Ho sprung a
leak. It wuz a small leak, an’
at lirst we thought nothin’ of it,
only we noticed ai;fter we had been
working the pumps aw’ile that the
things fetched up no water. There
wuz the water leakin’ into the
Heave Ho all right, but no sooner
did it enter than it disappeared.
The pumps couldn’t get a drop of it.
“The skipper, when he seed how
things wuz goin’, turned as white
ns yer shirt. ‘Men,’ he sez, ‘the rice
in the hold is absorbin’ the water
faster’n we can pump it out. The
rice is a-swellin’. If it keeps on
a-swellin’ it’ll bust the ship!’ So
then an’ thci;c began a battle be
twixt us an’ the rice as to who was
to get the water that leaked in. We
pumped, I tell ye. We wrorkod hard,
but hard as we worked the rice
worked harder—it collared more o’
the water than we did, an’ it kep’
a-swellin’ an’ a-swellin’.
“At the eml o’ the second day
.the planks an’ timbers began to
groan. They wuz bein’ wrenched
an’ twisted out o’ place by the swell
in’ rice. ‘We’ll have to take to the
boats, men!’ the skipper sez at the
end, an’ to the boats we took, leav
in’ the Heave Ilo on a starry night.
We didn’t leave her none too soon.
She busted an hour after we wuz
gone. With a great rendin’ sound
she busted, an’ a white cloud o’ rice
shot up into the moonlit air. A
strange sight it were, lads, an’ one
seldom saw by mankind!” — Ex
change.
Shocked the Old Lady.
There used to be a stately old
Englishwoman, a nobleman’s moth
er, who was an energetic opponent
of tobacco using in any form in any
place and by men of any condition.
The late King Edward one time
visited the old castle that was the
hereditary residence. As a mark
of honor the old noblewoman had
cigarettes passed aTound, to the
wondering amusement of the king.
When the cigarettes reached a
neighboring earl, who had attend
ed the gathering with his countess,
the former took up a cigarette and
handed it to his wife with a marked
bow. The old noblewoman stared
and swallowed hard. King Edward
told the story many times within
(he next week. The old lady never
again sull'ered herself to relax in
her antipathy to tobacco for fear
she might bring another woman
i user to light.—New York Sun.
He Took Chances.
| A judge in a frontier town had
declared that he would stop the
carrying of firearms on the street.
Before him appeared for trial a
j tough youth charged with getting
drunk and firing his revolver in a
crowded street.
“Twenty dollars and costs,” said
the magistrate.
“But, your honor,” interposed
counsel for the prisoner, “my client
did not hit anybody.”
“Why, yon admit that he fired
the gun.”
“Yes, but he fired it into the air,”
explained the lawyer.
“Twenty dollars and costs,” re
peated the judge. “He might have
shot an angel.”
Made It All Clear.
There are endless numbers of
correspondents who would like to
make the excuse given by a youth
who was spending his first year at
a boarding school.
The first letter was anxiously
awaited by his loving parents. When
it came, some time after his arrival,
it read thus:
Dear Parents—1 hardly think 1 will be
able lo send you many letters while here.
You see. when things are happening 1
haven’t time, and when they aren’t hap
pening I haven't anything to write. You’ll
understand how it is, won’t you. father?
And. mother, you Just ask father to ex
plain to you how it is. So now I’ll say
goodby. with lots of love. In haste,
RAYMOND
—Everybody’s.
H* Didn’t Care.
The car was crowded. The con
ductor, seeing a suit case in the
seat occupied by an insignificant
looking man, said, "You’ll have to
take this suit case away from here.”
The man replied, “1 guess that
case has a right there.”
The conductor was angry. He
said, “When 1 come back, if that
case is there I’ll throw it out of the
window.”
The case was there when he re
turned. He threw it out and said,
“I told you to take care of it or I’d
pitch it out, and 1 did.”
“1 don’t care,” the man said. “It
isn’t mine.”—Philadelphia Ledger.
CHIEF TYPES OF CLOUDS.
And the Messages They Convey In
Forecasting the Weather.
The three chief types of clouds
are the cirrus, stratus and cumulus,
and the best times to study them
are at sunset and sunrise. Cumulus
clouds are the most impressive of j
all clouds and are more commonly I
to be seen in summer than winter.
These clouds pile themselves up
in masses near the horizon. When
they are only of a moderate size
and gradually melt away during the
evening they indicate a spell of
fine weather. But if, on the ccon
trary, the clouds continue to pile
themselves up like huge snowy
mountains, then look for rain.
The stratus cloud is generally
formed at the end of a fine day. It
ig like a widely extended horizontal
sheet and hanging so low that it
frequently touches the earth’s sur
face in the form of a fog. When
such clouds are formed in the morn
ing it tells the sky experts to look
out for another line day. Stratus
clouds, indeed, seldom indicate rain.
Cirrus clouds, as their name indi
cates, are white curly clouds, like
curly hair or curly feathers. They
are the highest of all clouds, float
ing five to ten miles above the earth
and often drifting in quite a con
trary direction to clouds lower
down. Cirrus clouds are called by
sailors cats’ tails or mares’ tails and
generally foretell rain.
When cirrus clouds lie in long,
straight wisps from west to east,
then be sure that rain is coining.
When they float at a lower level
than usual they become what is
known as cirro-cumulus, small,
round masses arranged in groups or
j lines, giving the appearance known
| as mackerel sky.
A mackerel sky.
Not twenty-four hours dry
! is one of the oldest and truest of
j weather proverbs.
; The nimbus cloud is a mixture of
all three of the chief types of clouds.
It is a dark shapeless cloud, with
ragged edges as a rule and floats
! about a mile high. From its sur
face it throws oil' cirrus clouds,
known to sailors as scud, and the
amount of rajn that falls varies gen
erally with the amount of scud.
The more rapidly nimbus clouds
form the sooner will the rain be
j over, as a rule. When a dark niin
| bus cloud is topped by heavy masses
| of clouds like huge mountains, then
| look out for thunder.—New York
j Press.
Strength of Bone.
j The wonderful power of bone
' structure lias been tested seien
| tifieally to show how hollow bone
j bears strain. A very small bone,
j only one square millimeter (.0155
| square inch) in diameter, will hold
j thirty-three pounds in suspension
| without breaking, while a piece of
i the best oak of the same thickness
j will hold up only twenty-two
] pounds. The hone is therefore half
again as strong as the solid oak.
Nature is economical in the weight
‘ given to hones, making them hollow
land at the same time making them
; stronger than if they were solid and
much heavier. This principle has
been recognized in mechanics, as
engineers use hollow steel tubes in
stead of solid to meet great strain.
—Family Doctor.
Applause.
This act opens with the wife ad
dressing her husband severely.
“John, a messenger from my
dressmaker called on me this after
noon.”
“Bring anything pretty?” yawned
the husband.
“She did. A very pretty thing.
! It was a note saying that my dress
| maker wjll not make me any more
] clothes until you pay the bill we
! owe her,”
I “Did your dressmaker send a note
| like that?”
j “She did!”
I “Bless her, bless her!”—Dos An
geles Herald.
Curious Mexican Relic.
A weird looking creature is that
known to scientists as the mys
I terious tone lizard of Cuernavaca,
j Mexico. This reptile, carved on a
j huge bowlder lying on an overgrown
I hillside, is situated about eight
| miles from Cuernavaca and seventy
miles southwest of the City of Mex
ico. It was there, centuries old,
when Cortes first saw Cuernavaca
and is supposed to have been carved
to commemorate some events in the
wanderings of the prehistoric civi
lized race which built the great pal
ace at Xochicalco, a few miles away.

Heat From the Sun.
One square yard of the earth’s
surface receives each day averaging
six hours of sunshine, an amount of'
heat equal to that contained in 1.8
pounds of coal. At this rate an
area of about l?200 miles receives
during a year an amount of energy
from the sun equivalent to that ob
tainable from the 1,100,000,000
tons of coal mined annually in l?u
rone and the United States.
