MRS. KELSEY, Prop.
lis A GOOD l
JOKE?BUT
"I bean] n very "funny story the other
u Ik ht about Horace \Val|>ole," sold
Mrs. 1 tin ko. "I wish I could remember
who told It. Henry, ran you remem
ber'/ Was It Mr. Sellers?"
"So," said Blake atltlly; "It wasn't
Sellers."
"1 wonder If It could have been Mr.
Windsor?" ,
"No." repeated Blake; "It wasn't
Wludsor."
Before Mr. Blake had a chance to ex
press an affirmative or negative opin
ion of that hazard as to the source of
the Walpole anecdote Mr. Bartou came
In. Mrs. Blake, being by that time
sure o_p herself, tried on him her rec
ipe for winning universal affection.
"Oh, Mr. Barton." she said. "I uui
very glad to see you. I have hardly
stopped laughing since I saw you the
last time."
Mr. Barton, a cadaven us m. it with
solemn eyes, looked rather f?>oll h.
"Indeed?" he said. "May 1 ask what
about ?"
"Over that funny story you told
??.bout Horace Walpole," sail Mis
Blake.
"M-m-iu Horace Walpole?" stam
mered Mr. Barton. "I am afraid you
must have got nic mixed lip with. some
iKHly else. 1 don't know the tlrst thing
iImhii Horn e Walpole. and If I did
know anything funny about him 1
ouldu't tell It. To tell a funny story
Is beyov.d my powers. Kven If It was
'unny to start with It wouldn't be by
he time L.got through with it."
Mrs. Blake's spirits were somewhat
dashed by her fiasco In finding an
?wner for the Walpole story, but she
'lore up courageously, and later when
.Mr. Murkbam caine In she drew him
?ut of earshot of Mr. Barton and dllat
mI on the pleasure his story of Horace
Walpole laid given her. Mr. Markhntn
was uot cast In the funeral mol.l that
?rave to Mr. Barton Ills grave aspect,
but he protested himself totally luca
pable of telling a funny story about
Horace Walpole or anything else.
Presently Mrs. Blake left the room
to prepare the sandwiches. Mr. Blake
followed her.
"For the love of the I.ord," he said,
"don't make a fool of yourself agalu
by trying to get some other Idiot In
there to father that Walpole story. I
told you that yarn myself."
Mrs. Blake stood still, with carving
kulfe poised In air.
"You?" she said Incredulously. "And
It was so clever too."? New York

FOUND FISH
WITH' SAILS
White man makes the largest ocean
vessels, nature makes the smallest.
This Is a species of Jellyfish, found only
In tropical sons, which has n sail.
The part of tho fish un<ler tho water
looks Uko a mass of tangled 'breads,
while the sail Is a tough membrane,
shaped like a shell and measuring (julto
live Inches and sometimes more across.
The fish can raise or lower this sail at
will.
Wise sailors let this curiosity of na
ture alone, for each of the threads
composing Its body has the power of
fatluglng, the results of which are very
patnful and often dangerous. This
power defends It from porpoises, alba
trosses and other natural enemies.
It has no other means of locomotion
than Its sail, and when seen skim
ming bravely along the surface of the
water It looks more like a child's toy
boat than a living creature out in
search of food.? London Saturday Re

Treating Them All Alike.
* There whs only one thing In the
world of which Eben Hansom thor
oughly approved; that was hard, steady
work. "I hope," said the philanthropic
spinster who was spending n fortnight
at the Hansom farm, "I do hope, Mr.
Ransom, that you treat all your men
alike; give them all equal advantages
and wages. I find a varying standard.
If I may use the expression, makes so
much trouble and discontent among
Ial>orers in any Held of work."
Mr. Ransom surveyed her gravely I
and nodded assent.
"You're right there, ma'am," h? said |
dryly after a moment. "There Is Just i
one rule for the folks that work for I
me. 'Begin as early aud keep It up a?
late as there's light to go by. aud you'll !
get your one-flfty a day, unless the j
times are unusual hard, when I make ]
It one-twenty-flve.'
"But 1 tell you, ma'am, you can't ;
get as many fellers to work on an ]
equal basis nowadays as you might' j
think." I
SHOOTING THE SUN.
Simpleit Way of Locating a Ship's :
Position at Sea.
The average transatlantic traveler
displays very little Interest In the nav
Igatlou of the vessel beyond watching :
the ship's officers, sextant in hand,
making observations, says a writer In
Travel Magazine. Very few have any
Idea of the process by means i.f which
the modern navigator Is enabled to ac
curately place the ship's position at
a stated time on the chart. Out of
sight of laud a ship's geographical po
sition Is determined either by keeping
a careful record of the course steered
and the distance run, known as dead
reckoning, or by the combined use of
chronometer and sextant?that Is, by
observation of the heavenly bodies.
The operation of tlndlug the latitude
and longitude of observation can lie
I>erfornied In a numlter of ways, of
which the simplest and most conven
lent is by measuring the altitude of the
sun above the horl/.ou at noon, as Is
Indicated on the vernier of the sextant
aud spoken of at sea us "shooting the
sun." An arithmetical computation by
the aid of logarithms Is thus quickly
made which shows exactly how fur
the ship is north or south of the equa
tor, or. In other words, the latitude.
Finding the longitude, however. Is n
somewhat longer process. An observa
tion Is made either In the forenoon 01
afternoon, the chronometer time of the
horizon contact of the sun's Image be
ing noted. A calculation is then made
which gives the exact time at the spot
where the ship happens to be, and. as
the chronometer carried ahonrd shows
the exact time at Greenwich, the prime
meridian of longitude, the difference
between the two expresses In hours
and minutes (easily convertible Into
degrees and miles) the distance east
or west of Greenwich.
Having thus, roughly speaklug. found
the latitude uud longitude, a dot placed
ou the chart at the exact point where
the lines of latitude and longitude
cross denotes the ship's position.
