I'rltish Casablanca.
I Wherever the British ilajj floats oncl
ft floats pretty nearly everywhere that
I he wind blows men take off their hats
l.n approbation of the JJritish tar. Even
Ibeii'ankeewhogave Johnny Bull such a
lot of thrashing in the war of 1S12 and
can do it over again docs not demur too
loudly at the tuneful proposition that
"Britannia rules the wave."
And in Britannia's journey round the
world wherever she has gone grabbing
territory and pocketing good hard dol-
lars there the British tailor has been at
the fore taking hard knocks with only
the thoroughly Saxon determination to
give them lnclc ag; in with compound
interest. When the game has been
ngainst him when the enemy has been
too fierce or too frequent or a flying
missile has battered the English
sailor's hulk fo that he was unlit for
service and perhaps had only a brief
Jesuitic of life left in him it has been
discovered and set down in history that
he died as he had liieri game and a
glutton for tight. He has invariably
had the English Jack lining when
the waters of eternity closed over
him.
He has lived for centuries in the full
belief and consistent practice of that
doctrine so recently and well cuunci-
ntcd by Eessendeii of Connecticut:
"God Almighty hates a quitter."
But of all the British sailor-men who
in all ages and in all clinics have
brought glory and renown to England
-there has never ben one with more un-
adulterated British sand than little
Horace Comer. Horace Coiner is not an
admiral. He is not cen an ensign or a
midshipmite. He is only a first-class
apprentice and a mere speck of one it
that; but he has the stuff in him which
England will need some day upon her
quarter decks when the .Russian lnar
takes to following thesalt water in
search of conquests. There was a lad
like him in the French navy once be-
fore. His name was Nelson. The
French knew him and there is a mon-
ument in Trafalgar square now to his
memory.
The story of ITbracc Center might be
hraded: "Casabiauca Up to Date."

THE NEW IJR1TISH CASADIANCA.
The lad who so many cars took up his
stand
"on the burning deck
Whence all but him hnd lied"
tnd who is still standing there a model
Df fidelity and courage to the youth of
all time to come had no whit the bet-
ter of little Horace Comer. He too
saw the flanvs rushing from the ship's
hatches and licking the tarred rigging
with greedy tongues and the great
English heart in him rose in the face
of the forlorncst hope the seaman ever
knows. Little ns lie is he was master
of the situation and not n captain In
till the scricc ever did more yeoman
fluty than he did. He saved a goodly
ship for England. Horace Comer age
14 learned the rudiments of seaman-
ship on board the famous Exmouth
training ship and when he had learned
under the marine masters there some-
thing of how to hand reef and steer
and ship a salvage he was shipped on
board the Marino n steamer of G.OOl)
tons. He went a couple of voyages in
her attended to his business and gave
pvidence of being a good sample of the
thorough-going English boy. On her
latest voyage bound for Yokohama the
Marino took fire at sea during a
Ftorm. The crew bnttled stubbornly
with the flames but it looked a losing
tight. They had the boats all ready to
cast off when little Comer jumped into
the shrouds and scouted: "I won't go!
I've shipped on board this ship nnd
where she goes I'll go with her. What's
the xise of takin' on men? If we've got
to die. let's die like men nnd Jike Eng-
lishmen!" The British tars heard him nnd
stopped and began to fight the fire
fcgain. They fought it sq well with the
lad's taunt ringing in their ears that
Ihey brought the vessel safe into the
Azores.
Little Comer's fool was badly bujned
so badly that he implored the ship's
mrgeon to cut it off. "They'll give me
wooden one I know" he said. But
the foot was saved to occupy maybe
seme day an admiral's shoe. X. Y.

sJdi or warss shelter of a'ledge with
eyes hungering jfor a speAr of green
grassy sd unfolding leaf or callow bios-som-bwL
or any Visible token of spring
and with ears thirsting for its sounds
the hunger and thirst of the senses are
measurably appeased bj tfte sight and
sound of a chipmunk.
How fresh and bright he looks his
striped coat unsullied bj long burial!
How cheery his full-mouthed cluck or
sharper chirp without a trace of
drowsiness after months of sleep! lie
seems to'have burst-into new life as
freshly as a leaf or a flower and he
voices spring ns perfectly and joyously
as do the birds and the running brooks.
He suffers you to come so near his
seat on a sun-warmed rock or mossy log t
that you catch the full expression of
his bright eyes regarding you with alert
curiosity aud can see every vibration
imparted to his little body by his
ecstatic clucks. But if you overstep
the prescribed limits or make a sudden
movement he is gone like a flash with
a light quick rustle of dry leaves and
a "chitter!" that is smothered in the
depths of his burrow.
LaTer in the season he maj' be guilty
of sins against the furmer as unpar-
"HOW UHIG11T HE LOOKS!"
donnble as the crows' but you will not
outlaw him for uncommitted crimes
and would no more harm him now than
you would the welcome robin or be-
loved bluebird or dear song-.sparrow.
You wish that he might not be led into
the teniptat;on of the newly-planted
cornfield and might be delivered from
guns and cats and naughty boys.
Though you would not harm a hair of
his sleek .body to-day yon remember
with a pang of remorse how miserable
3'cu made his life with the slings and
arrows of outrageous boyhood. You
are thankful that the gathering years
have softened your heart. But alas
for the chipmunk! there are yet boys.
Many yeais ago one nuinmer day
when the chipmunk had long been a
familiar of the sun and when wood-
side and ledge were shadowed by full-
grown leaves 1 was lounging on the
grass that grew in the hal.'-shaded
spaces between the scattered trees of a
sugar-place. Near by was an old sugar
house an open shed fronting a rude
fireplace and both now that they were
fallen into the indolence of three sea-
sons were the homes and haunts of sev-
eral chipmunks.
Five or six could be seen at once
some perched in crannies of the fire-
place others scampering in and out of
the shanty aud all looking very pretty
and cunning. As 1 watched them I be-
gan to whistle softly with no more
definite purpose than to attract their
attention.
This I at once succeeded in doing nnd
three of my audience evidently young
fellows full of youthful curiosity left
off their romping and came out toward
me through the tall grass which to them
was forest jungle.
For a minute they were hidden in it
and then they reappeared within four
feet of me.
I happened to have a herdsgrass stalk
in my hand and J cautiously advanced
the heed toward them moving it
gently to and fro. The little fellows
watched it a moment and then began
to follow its movements at first timid-
ly like shy kittens but after a little
they were chasing it back and forth
quite fearlessly often running over my
feet uud legs.
So we amused each other till 1 could
stay no longer. Though I arose with
the utmost care not to alarm them my
pretty playmates were seized by a sud-
den panic and went scampering ami
cluttering into their various places of
refuge. Perhaps when I stood up they
instinctively recognized in me a sem-
blance of the terrible hoy.
I do not know whether it is because
the decrease of larger game has forced
the weasel the fox and the hawk to
content themselves with such small
deer that we less frequently see the
jolly little hermit tacking along the
angled thoroughfare of the rail fence
or sitting on some rock or cradle knoll
near the door of his cell and so seldom
hear the continuous iteration of his
cheery note; but even so it is as every
woodland stroller must confess.
At the same time too he must de-
plore the loss of this atom from the
wild life of his favorite haunts. Bow-
land E. Kobinson in Youth's Com-
panion. A Fountain In a Tree
There are more ways than one to ob-
tain pure cool water in the parched
and torrid regions of central Africa.
An explorer named Henri Leeointc re-
cently returned from the Congo and ho
clls how he was able to slake the burn-
ing thirst of his whole party by means
of a wonderful growing fountain. This
fountain Is a tree called the"moosanga."
It grows to great heights nnd has huge
spreading branches. After Mr. Le-
comte's party had suffered from thirst
for sevetnl days one of the natives re-
vealed the secret of the mcosanga and
one of the big trees was nt once cut
down and a shallow trough made in
the stump. At once the pure Clearwa-
ter began to run out and by morning
there was a big pailful ready to drink.
For several days the stump continued
to give out water and it was consumed
without fear of poison or malaria
Dentistry Among" the Kaffirs.
The most barbarous method of dentis-
try is that practiced by theKaflirs. The
Kaffir dentist places his patients on the
ground and four men hold him down.
Then the operator kneels beside him
nnd with a piece of sharpened wood;
ivory or steel digs away at the gum
until the tooth is loose enough' to be
pulled cut with the thumb and finger.
The time occupied is sometimes 30 min-
untes and wc can imagine that a
Kaffir must have a terrible toothooie
before be goes to a dentist for relief.

MINING SPECULATION.
Even tho Women I!ho tho loor la
Auckland.
The influence of Hauraki mining re-
vival has made itself more or less felt
in all the big commercial centers
throughout the colony but nowhere
naturally to the same extent as in the
city of Auckland which has the gold
fields so to speak almost at its doors.
When the Hauraki mines were in their
prime many years ago Aueklanders '
rushed to the Coroinandel in such num
bers that there were scarcely vessels 1
enough in the harbor to take Chem
across there. In the "Ikjoiu" now on
instead of Hocking to the Coroinandel
tftey iloek to the Auckland stock ex- very hard kernels. While I can gie j
change where to meet the excited rush no reason for the fact it is true thxit; (
ii "free" stock exchange was established I of hundreds of varieties tested at dif-
for a time. Never in the annals of Auck- fcrent experiment stations the avorago I
lami nas mere ncen such a lloating of
new comp-inies and such a tremendous
traffic in shares as within the Inst IS
months or so. Never have Auckland
brokers had such a busy time. To cope
with the necessities of their situation
a new association of brokers has been
formed and the old greatly reinforced.
Hut still the business to be overtaken
has compelled them to work to such late
hours that the labor inspector hah
deemed it his duty in the interests of
the clerks to occasionally make a mid-
night raid on the stock brokers offices.
The share list has swollen to such nn
enormous extent that it takes nn hour
and a half to "call" it over. It is also
found necessary to have three "calls"
daily the first at 9:30 a. m.
Knots of eager-faced eager-voiced
men throng that jwrt of the exchange ;
open to the public and there you may
ree a broker prosperous and well
groomed in aspect in earnest confabula-
tion with a rough-looking miner in a
Crimea shirt and bell-buttoned trousers
the Sir Crackle of the moment just over
from Coroinandel with the graphic
details of the latest bit of mining
news. All over the town the talk is ol
mining topics. Tn the city restaurants
in the lunching hour any chance words
distinguished above the general hum i
of conversation are sure to relate to '
mining matters. When friends meet i
in the street they exchange instead of J
remarks about the wealher straight j
"tips" in regard to their favorite min- '
ing shares. In the trams taking the
business men back to their homes in the
suburbs there is always a rapid and
large exchange of pennies uud papers J
when the newsboy enters with his bun-
dle of Evening Stars and then the eyes
of all the men seek with simultaneity
the column with the latest share quota-
tions in tlfeir respective papers.
Even the. women have caught the
fever of mining speculation ami it is
said that at afternoon teas they discuss
rises and falls in ihc share market in a
very knowing way while they com-
miserate with poor .Mrs. X whose
shares in the "Never Say Die" have
dropped to a fourth of what she paid
for them and congratulate Mrs. Y
on having sold yesterday at ten and j
six pence the S00 "Golden Hopes" she
bought last week at a shilling. Their
sex is already represented on the ex-
change but n lady stock broker can only
be regarded as a natural phenomenon

dominions thnt has given its women
the franchise nnd produced a lady
mayor. Chambers Journal.
TnUm Without Rati.
Experiments which are described ai
satisfactory have recently been made
in the suburbs of Taxis with a train
drawn by n steam locomotive running
not on rails but on nn dinary rond.
The train used at -present consists of
only two cars one of which contains
the locomotive machinery together
with seats for 14 passengers; while the
other has 21 scats. The engine is of
16 -horse power and the average speed
is nboul seren miles nn hour. The
train is able to turn In a circle only 23
feet in diameter. Another train has
been constructed for the conveyance
of freight. It is hoped by the inventora
that trains of this kind will be exten-
sively employed in and near cities.

THE COLOR OF CORN.
Feeding Vtu. !;.jh Irf. 5Irr... I Not
AITcrteil by It.
I'pon the niuch-dicu.seil que.-tioii
of whether there is a material diuVr-
ence in the feeiling alue of ellow and
white corn. Prof. U. K. Mtirrow writes
the .Metropolitan and Burnt Home:
"Chemical analysis shnws that noappic-
ciable dilTcretiee depends upon t he color
of corn. There arc minor iliflcrenoi.s in
the composition of di'.Tctetit aricties
and considerable difference in the
sti ueture of the kernels as to hardness.
! In mv observation eIlow -tariclics aro i
more frequently haul than white ones
! but some of the white varieties have
. y:eld ol the wiuie lias iieen soinewuai i
laiL-er than that of the vellovv. Prob-
i
ably a majority of the farmers believe I
that the white varieties have not as i
much value as the vellovv. 1 have often
heard the expression that the yellow
corn is more 'heating. .My own view 13
that neither yield nor composition de-
pends on the color of the kernels: th.it
some varieties are much better in v ieid
and slightly better in quality of 01:0
co'or and some of the other."
FACTS FOR FARMERS.
Pnlcss a careful selection of corn is
made each year it will tend to "run
out."
A poor farm can be bought mm h
cheaper than a rich one ami by proper
rotation the poor farm can soon be
made rich.
There should be regular hours for
work m the farm. Too mariV fanner-

except on a spiall scale. The biisiucsi
ot the experiment stations is to carry !
extensive experiments.

AVhnt a Cow Should Yield.
It takes loU pounds of butter at a
good market price to pay fort lie keep-
ing of a cow one year. At the stand-
ard of four jkt cent of butter fat. that
amount of butter will require :but

must v iehl e.r-oo pound of milk or say
1700 (piarts to just stand even with
her owner if butter is ifiade. In older
to give a fair prolit on the investment
a cow should yield at least 5.000 po'iuds.

The
Blue and the Gray.
Both ineri and "women aro apt to feel a little
blue "when tho gray hairs begin to show. It's
a very natural feeling. In tho normal condition
of things gray hairs belong to advanced age.
They have no business whitening tho head of
man or woman v.ho has not begun to go
down tho slopo of life. As a matter of fact
tho hair turns gray regardless of ago or of
life's seasons ; sometimes it is whitened by
sickness but moro often from lack of care.
When tho hair fades or turns gray there's no
need to resort to hair dyes. The normal color
of tho hair is restored and retained by the use of
Ayer's Hair Vigor.
