A singular story is told of a gallant cock whose moral influence at a crit- fcal moment during the battle of St. Vincent helped to save a British man of-war from the hands of the enemy. The fowl in question formed part of the live stock of the Marlborough, a vessel which had suffered so severely that her captain was considering the advisability of striking bis flag. The ship was entirely dismasted, while the chief officers had been carried below severely wounded, and the crew, with- out anybody to cheer them up, were beginning to grow sullen under the heavy fire of the ememy, to which they were hardly able to respond. At this emergency a shot struck the coop in which the fowls were confined. The only surviving occupant, a cock, find- ing himself at liberty, fluttered up and perched himself on the stump of the mainmast and surveyed the scene of carnage around him. Then, flapping his wings in defiance, he began to crow vociferously. He was answered by three hearty and exhilarating cheers from the crew, who all had a good laugh and, with spirits thus renewed, continued the action with a vigor that lasted until a turn in the battle res- cued them from their tight position.— London Chronicle. Perry’s Big Guns. Commodore Perry had not yet elec- trified a grateful pation with his im- mortal message, “We have met the en- emy, and they are ours.” While the battle was In progress the sound of the guns was heard at Cleveland, about sixty miles away In a direct line over the water. The few settlers there were expecting the battle and listened with Intense Interest. Finally the sounds ceased. They waited for a re- newal. None came; the lull was pain- ful. over; but the result—ah, that was the point. One old fellow, who had been Iying flat with his ear to the ground, soon settled that point. Springing up, he clapped his hands and shouted: “Thank God! 'They are whipped! They are whipped!” “How do you know?” the others in- quired. “Heard the big guns last!” Perry’s guns were the heaviest. Turning a Tight Screw. Any one who has attempted to re- move a very tight screw knows what a very difficult business it is. After straining and twisting for a con- siderable time the operator frequent- ly ends by losing his temper and destroying the bite of the screw, which remains fixed as tightly as ever. ‘With the aid of a palr of pinchers, how- ever, the affair is quite a simple one. Place the screwdriver in position and then catch hold of the blade with the pinchers just above the head of the screw. Press the screwdriver firmly and at the same time twist round the blade with the pinchers. The tightest screw will yield immediately to this sort of persuasion. Bird Dogs. Bird dogs have been known as such for only about three or four centuries. So far as we know. the Duke of North- umberland, sixteenth century, was the first trainer of bird dogs. The duke was followed by others who trained dogs to “set” birds, but it was not till the beginning of the nineteenth cen- tury that any reliable record of a dis- tinet brand of bird dogs can-be found. The Gordon setter was founded by the Duke of Gordon about 1800.—New York American. A Retort Disceurteous. A young lady full of good deeds no- ticed the tongue of a horse bleeding and with a use of technieal terms too little appreciated sald to the cabby. “Cabby, your horse has hemorrhage.” “It's 'Is tongue's’ too large for his mouth,’ said the cabby and added sen- tentiously, *‘Like some young ladies.”— London Globe. Then they knew the battle was; that this jewel was a dlamond. The Fearful Tortures. Bome years ago 1 was ‘a teacher in Afghanistan, and during my stay .in || that country 1 was'often ‘an unwilling witness of some horrible exhibitions of torture, - Here Is one they use in the case of women to extract testimony. It consists in prying off the finger | najls by means of a small chisel or brad awl, which is shoved in slowly, but firmly, from the finger tip down- ward under: the quick of the nail; which is then lifted up and out. ‘This Is another that I once saw used in the case of a small child who would not own- up to some petty theft: Sticks were thrust between its fingers and the fingers then squeezed together, so that the sticks crushed into the bones. So much for women and children. Here is a method of eliciting informa- tion from an unwilling man: The cul- prit is stripped to the waist, and then bolling oil is flicked on to his back. This seldom fails to find the man’s tongue. The above are the chief forms of “fghana,” or.torture, for the purpose of eliciting Information, but it must be stated that such inflictions as nip- ping of noses, tearing out tongues or splitting eyeballs do not come under the heading of “fahana,” they being punishments rather than tortures.— London Standard. Duchesse and Anarchist. Upon one occasion the Duchesse @'Uzes-and Louise Michel met at the bedside of a poor sick woman whom they were mutually aiding. They met here frequently for a brief period. The woman died. Louise Michel, who was present at the death, wrote to the duchesse: “Madame—Our poor friend is dead. I have looked among her few belongings for a souvenir for you. Here is a small plece of passementerie done by her hands. Accept it” A few days afterward Mme, la Duchesse d'Uzes, nee Mortemart, went to the home of Louise Michel, the aparchist —a bizarre abode at Levallols where the pcor found always both a good word and a plece of .bread—to thank the “red virgin” for her letter and her gift. A friendship so was cemented between the oddly assorted pair that was later not without result in the operation of the most gigantic charity of the Duchesse d’Uzes—Boulangerism. —Harper’s Bazar. He Left at Once. He had been worshiping her for months, but had never told her, and she didn’t want him to. He had come often and stayed late—very late—and she dould only sigh and hope. ~He was going away the next day on a holiday, and he thought the last night was the time to spring the momentous ques- fon. He kept it to himself, however, until the last thing. It was 11:30 by the clock, and it was not a very rapid clock. “Miss Mollie,” he said tremulously, “l am going away tomorrow.” “Are you?” she said with the thought- lessness of girlhood. “Yes,” he replied. *Are you sorry?” “Yes, very sorry,” she murmured. “I thought you might go away this evening.” Then he gazed at the clock wistfully and said good night.—London Scraps. The Power of the Whale. If the whale knew its own power, it could easily destroy all the machinery which the art of man could devise for catching him. - It would only be neces- sary for him to swim on the surface in a straight line in order to break the thickest rope, but instead, on being struck by the harpoon, he obeys a nat- ural instinet, which, in this instance, betrays him to his death. Not having an air bladder, he can sink to the low- est depths of the ocean, and, wistaking. the harpoon for the teeth of a sword- fish or a shark, he instantly descends, this being his manner of freeing him- self from these enemies, who cannot bear the pressure of a deep ocean, and from descending and ascending Im small space he thus puts himself in the power of the whaler.

It is the holy grale, or vessel, and does not mean real blood, though it contained the real blood, collected by Joseph of Arimathea. It was made from a dia- mond and emerald which fell from tke crown of Satan when he fought with Michael. M. de Villemarque, who has written about Armoric legends, says word greal is old French, as I under- stand, for I have no knowledge my- self that it is so. In the legend of Percival it is shown that the grail is a vessel. “‘The holy grail? Percival heard whispered by one voice after another. Then from the shining ves: sel streamed an endless supply of the costliest dishes and wines.”—London Notes and Queries. A A Poor Defense. “Speaking of a poor defense,” said a lawyer, “reminds me of the valet who ‘was accused of drinking his master’s wine. To this valet the master said: “‘Look here, you! I belleve that you have been at this decanter of claret and then filled 1t up with water.’ “‘Oh, no, sir, said the valet in an aggrieved tone. “‘Well, it tastes like it said the master, and he set down his glass with a wry face. “40h, no, sir,’ sald the valet excited- ly. ‘In the first place, sir, I never drink wine; in the second place, when I do drink it I never think of filling the bottle up with water, and, in the third place, when I do put water in-I. always am very careful to add a little: brandy so that the wine may not lose: its strength.’” g 3 When Rubbers Become Neccessary And your shoes pinch, shake into your shoes Allen’s Foot-Ease, the antiseptic powder for the feet.
