It wold be useless to*look for the "bridles wW the bowline" in the hard driven tramp of to-day, with her stumpy funnel and masts, which are merely derric standards. For the sea teres #f the old-time mariner are disappearing with the lofty spares of the ships he sailed in and the interlacing rigging for every rope's end, of which he had his particular name. Yet certain of the old words und | phrases are not without distinction The cable is paid out to the "bitter end." A sail is "asleep" when there just sufficient wind to keep the canvas full. No doubt the apt word whe suggested to the ancient navigs tor by a windless day on the line, when the canvas swung heavily against the mast (every flap of the mainsail half a crown out of the own- er's pocket), and cach creaking block and tackle made its own separate noise. Then as a light 'breeze spreac over the water the ball bellied out, ropes went taunt and a silence fell upon the ship. The 'dolphin strik- er," which supports the bowsprit stays, and in a deep laden ship plunges under water as she cour- is tesies, is fitly named to any one. who | has watched a shoal of lively fish play | around the bows on a tropical night, | crossing and recrossing just in front | leaving | of the advancing stem and rings and trails of phosphorescence in their wake. The "heave of the sea" is not an unpoetical way of exproass- ing the allowance which must be made in the day's run for the diversion from course caused by the get of the ocean swell. There was a wealth of detail in the mariner's vocabulary. The anchor may be a bower, a steam or a kedge, leaving out of account the yachtman's "pick," and has a shank, a stock, a erown, a throat, a fluke, and a bill Seca. poetry has familiarized us with it when a-weigh, but it also a-peak, when the ship is hove short and rides directly over it. It "'comes home" as it breaks ground, being "shod" if so much soil adheres to the flukes as do prevént it from again biting. When it is raised clear of the bottom it is "a-trip"; when the stock ig' about to break the surface of the water it is at which time the cheery cry of "heave and a-wash" used to urge the erowd at the capstan on the fo"e'sle head to a final effort And when brought up to the cathead it is said to be "'a-cockbill."

Its Capacity For Making Itself in visible In Dim Light. "In the wild state one seldom sees a lion either in repose or. majestical- ly alert," writes a correspondent of i The London Times. "A glimpse the hunter may get of him, standing mag- nificently rigid when suddenly dis- turbed in early morning at his kill of overnight, and more séldom it has been given to a man to watch one, himself unobserved, gazing from an eminence at the grazing herd. But the lion is a nocturnal animal, pos- sessing an extraordinary capacity for making itself invisible in dim light. Many a sportsman has testified to the experience of being unable to see a lioh on a night not altogether dark, ¢though it was so close that its breath- ing was plainly audible, and mary a native of Africa has fallew vietim to the suddén onslaught of what, as he passed it a few feet away, he took to be only a small bush or the blot upon the darkness made by a tussock of grass. "The literature of big game shoot ing contains perhaps no incident more bloodcurdling than the experience of Dr. Aurel 8chulz, who, when with his | THE DATLY BRITISH | gun bearer he was stalking a hippo- | potamus at night found that a lion was in turn stalking them. By chance the gun bearer noticed that a bush Yhehind them had a queer way of be- ing always about the same distance in their rear. In spite of the moon- light they could not be certain that it really was a lion, but when, to test it, they turned wpon their tracks, im- mediately the shadowy thing swept, dim and noiseless, in a wide semi- circle, so as to plant itself again be- hind them. So, one going backward with his face always to the lion, the hunted hunters made their way back | to camp, hippopetamusés having ceas- ed to interest them." | As to the moral character of the } beast, the same writer continues: "It | has been said of the lion that he at- {tacks only those who withstood him, scorning to strike one who fled or sued for elemency, wherein in real ! life if you run from a lion he will | chase you; moreover, that full grown men only were his enemies, that he | would not harm babies. But in the lion house one may see any day the eyes which look so indifferently on the men and women who come and go | before the cages light up with sudden | savagery as some small child toddles alone across the floor. The lion has | learned that men and women are not ! for him, but this smaller creature | nice antelope size, soft and helpless presents itself to the royal mind " easily killable." Aas The Game of Mum-Budget. One cannot help thinking that the mysterious old, English game of "mum-budget" must have been a pre- monition of the silence which chan- cellors of the exchequer in later cen- | turies would succeed in keeping each year about their financial intentions. At any rate, we shall probably never know what mum-budget really was, although thousands have puzzled over Slender's words to 8hallow, *' 1 come to her in white and cry 'mum'; she cries 'budget,' and by that we know one another." According to Cotgrave, | "to play mum-budget" meant "to be graveled, put to silence or a nonplus," children's game in which silence was called for. But, considering the fre- quency of allusions to it from before Shakespeare's time until "Hudibras," it is strange that all knowledge of its nature should have been lost. Past Finding Out. 'Well, well, Neighbor Weaver, I see as how ye's got a new hired man over to your place," remarked Uncle Char- lie Seaver as he leaned over the pas- ture fence and accepted a chew from his friend's tobacco pouch. "'Some- thin' peculiar about the way that fel: ler walks. Is he a mite lume?" "Huh, dingbusted if I know whe- ther the cuss's lame or not," ejaculat- ed Mr. Weaver, expectorating into the pigweed beside the fence. "To tell ye truth, Neighbor Seaver, I never seen the cuss mov fast enolgh so's { 1 could find out. Thet hired man | may be lame in th' nigh leg, as ye | say, but IT guess wa'll never know the truth. Huh!" Absentminded. The keeper of the zo» was smiling over a newspaper account of a monkey that had died of love. "It's a good story," said the head keeper. "This reporter has an original turn to him. He's like the western jury. "A westerner, you know, once hung himself to the bedpod by his sus- penders, and the verdict of the eoro- ner's jury ran: " 'Deceased came to his death by coming home full and mistaking him- self for his pants." Found Famous Nugget. The discoverer of the famous "Wel. come Nugget" has died in the Ballarat Benevolent Asylum, Australia, aged 74. He returned to Ballarat three | years ago, poor and in ill-health, and was compelled t# seek shelter in the { asylum. The "Welcome Nugget." one of the largest pieces of natural gold { in the world, was taken from Bakery i Hill, Ballarat, in 1858. It was found at a dépth of 180 feet. It weighed 227 oz. 16 dwt, and was sold for £10, arried on Deathbed. Mr. F. Cornell and Miss Gertrude McNeil, had arranged to be married in Sydney, New South Wales.
