When a ship approaches ihe Sar­ gasso sea it appears to bo heading, straight for n meadow thickly ear* poted "with coarse autumnal grass or a Scottish moor covered with yellow gorse. A nearer view discloses what appear to be innumerable small Mote* generally round in shape and varying in width from 50 to 100 yards. These islets are intersected with lane* of clear wa­ ter* and whore the blue, of a cloud­ less shy is reflected in these open channels the yellow color of the isletB becomes intensified by con­ trast to bright golden. When a stiff breeze begins to blow they change form, lengthening out in broad, un­ dulating strips, all moving.wiih.ihe with^then ohd alibaff 'ox it, but the distance between them on each side remains uniform and never' becomes wide enough to admit of the passage of a ship or narrow enough to close up altogether. This produces the strange effect of a blue ocean even­ ly striped with parallel bands of yellow, ■When the sea is perfectly smooth again the strips ,resume their usual round or oval shapes," and a vessel moving through them baa the ap­ pearance of a ship sailing over- a meadow. Closer inspection shows the floating yellow stuff to be com­ posed of compact masses of a trop­ ical species of seaweed, whiob, torn from the bottom of the gulf by the fury of the storms, drifts into the circular currents of the Sargasso sea and remains there until it slowly decays under the hot "rays of the sun. The yellow color is • due to clusters of amber hued berries ex­ actly like bunches of .grapes with which it is covered and which, cause sailors to call it'raisin weed. It is also full of. marine life. Tiny crabs scurry to and fro across it, aquatic spiders lurk ampng the ber­ ries, andmicroscopic shellfish of va­ rious kinds cling to the stalks. Most people who. cross the Sargasso sea want to take home a specimen of this famous weed, and an obliging sailor-Usually lowers a bucket over the side and scoops it up. Ipclosed in a widemouthed bottle filled with sea water and, tightly corked, it will keep a long time.—New York Press. Stood .byHI* Dad, - Once when John VamBuren, son -o^-Bresidenfr-Van-Buren,■ avss unak-- ing a. speech in behalf of his father an old democrat rose m the audi­ ence and upbraided him as a bolter; Few men were more effective on the this: something “One day a ,map. on horseback came up with a who Voa eon-’ tending with an overturned load of hay,' Instead of tossing the hay back in the wagon, the boy was en­ ergetically ; tossing it hither and thither, regardless of where it land­ ed. The traveler halted and said; ’My young friend, v^hy do you work so furiously this hot weather? Why do you not toss the hay back in the Wagon and be .more deliberate in yourlabor?’ The hoystopped, wiped the streaming perspiration off his face on his shirt sleeve and, point­ ing to tho pile of hay on the road­ side, exclaimed, 'Stranger* dad’s un­ der thar,’ and then he set about work more furiously than ever/’ * Got What H* WanUd. "Good morning, unde. How are you today?” "Ah, nephew, P am well. How are you?” "First rate. Goes* what brought me here/’ ... "Oh, the old story, I suppose.” " "PH bet you 5 shillings you can’t guess.” 'T il take it! You Came here to borrowsome money/’ ‘You’ ve lost! Pay me the 5 shil­ lings! I only wanted to inquire how aunt is today!”—London Tele-, graph, . A 8*riou* Jok*. A noted joke immortalized in Le­ ver’s ’ "Charles O'Malley” Was ac­ tually perpetuated by Mr, Frederick Welcome, a student in. Trinity col- legd, ‘ Dublin. Mr. Welcome pre­ tended to hear a voice in the sewer and persuaded the mob that a pris­ oner had escaped into tho 6ewcr from the Jail and that ho was per­ ishing there. The mob excavated the street, Tho troops were called out, and a riot followed.

Rtmarkabl* Metaphor. The EagUiih wom«a suffragists have contributed beaWea other things to the gayety of nation* a remarkable mixed metaphor. One of these stren­ uous ladies, speaking of the lack,of interest of women in their rights, said:. ’A* ?*t It is but a flea bite on the ocean, hut let m arise in all our strength and nip if in the bud. W6 have seen too much not to know where the boto pteohes.'* * * * k m m game . ’ Walklrtg Suit* Every Mood, Soften* Trouble and Temper* Sorrow. There is no substitute for the art of walking. It permits no prox­ ies, Books may be retold by the reader, sermons repeated by the hearer* pictures may bo described by the art critics or the humbler visitor, Ho oiiq can portray the pleasures of walking, nor can its ad­ vantages be secured at second hand. It must be one’s own individual em­ ployment. Walking is game for any mood. Tho sad, the downhearted, the exultant, the serenely content, all, and those in any other mental condition, may find satisfaction in wandering out upon the earth. Walking softens sorrow,, tempers trouble and adds a halo unto hapni-" ness. _ It gives health-and vigor^to has been chased away by walking and many a heartache lifted or lightened, The best thing for the inside of a man is the outside of the earth. Unlike other games, walk­ ing may be played in company or alone. It may be for one, two or more. It is at its heat, of course, when played by two Avho are really one. Yet a solitary journey is bet­ ter far than a continual stay in the house at toil or in company gay. Better loaf and invite one’s soul than work or play overrrfuch and leave one’s spirit atrophied." Sun-, shine and fresh air are twin agents in the promotion of happiness and health and peace. Every man who walks should he a lover. He should he not merely; a lover of his companion, but of the birds and buzzing bees, the burst­ ing leaves and- the blue ceiling of the sky beyond. One may walk in winter -days full of frost and in summer when the days are full of iire% ’Tis in the year’s rosy dawn, when nature is robing in garments of green and gold* that she gives most of her beauty to him who loves and worships her. The man who slowly walks adown the 6treet or through the country fields may then,, if ever, look through the na­ ture up to the nature.’s God.—Wal­ ter Williams in Columbia Herald. A Curious Looking Egg. A shark’s egg is one of the most odd looking things imaginable and lias no more resemblance to an egg, strictly speaking, than it'"has to a paving "stone. In one variety it is pilloAv shaped andbas a longhorn” ■fly"'“feeler” at each corner. It is about twojnches long and tile color almost pure black. It is unprovided with, shell, as we understand that word, hut the contents are protect­ ed by a thick, leathery covering which,has ahnost as much elasticity about it as a covering of rubber would have. The "feelers” men­ tions catch hold of and windthem­ selves around pieces of seaweed and other floating objects'and hang un­ til the egg is,hatched. One variety of the Bhark lays eighteen eggs dur­ ing the month of April. These float about until early in December, when the little sharks emerge. Rarest Bird In Cub*. Tho rarest of all birds in Cuba is the, ara tricolor, commonly known as tho Cuban macaw.' Its habitat is the swamps, and the following gen­ eral description will illustrate its beauty: Forehead,- red, becoming yellowish on top and shading into bright yellow on tho neck; back feathers;- cinnamoir^ edged with green; under parts, scarlet, with a dash of orange on the throat; sec­ ondary feathers, bright blue on the upper surface, pnle brown under­ neath^ legs, brown;- eyes, yellow. Seen m the dusk resting on the lily pads of a swamp, the ara tricolor is one of tlie handsomest specimens of the bird life to be found in any land or any clime. * 8a!t Is e Necessity. "Salt is a most necessary article of food,” says a Well known scien­ tist. "All races of mankind, either civilized or in a savage state, have the same regard for salt. In parts of central Africa the natives regard salt as a luxury and will willingly do much to obtain it. So much do they like the taste of Balt that the ashes of tho burnt veldt grass are used to season their meat. These ashes contain saltpeter, which im­ parts the coveted flavor to food. Animals, too, are fond of salt. In a wild state they will readily go to a spring the water of which has been salted. Sportsmen know this and use it as a bait.” IDllSTRIBtiTfNG DEPOT FO& "Pittsburgh Perfect” Fences For some time we have been investigating a New Idea, In Wire Fencing, After a most careful examination we have been- convinced that we have found the best"field fence manufactured.
