Leather Dreechea.
A hundred and fifty years ago the
farm hands and house servants of
England were clothed in leather. A
good pair of leather breeches was said
to pass from father to son as an heir
loom. Thou a boy went to school as
well protected as an armored cruiser.
The author of “Dldlsliurye in the ’45"
offers some observations upon these
articles of common wear; The test of
a g|od pair was to try If they would
stand upright of themselves when no
body was In them. If they would do
so they were good, strong stuff nnd
likely to last for many years. My
father remembered a prentice lad com
ing to his fntlier, whose fond mother
had provided him with such a pair,
nnd they were the means of a "vast
of fun" In a game that Is unknown In
these days—that Is. for the boys to set
the breeches upright and then Jump
Into them without touching them with
the hands. It was probably a pair of
such leather breeches that the Windsor
boy was wearing when George III,
asked him If he did not know that the
man before him was the king*
“Yes.” said the boy.
“Then why don’t you go on your
knees, and you might kiss the king’s
hand," said the king.
"Because I’d spoil m.v breeches."

Tlie First Armored Shl|>.
According to the best authorities on
curiosities of the navy and warfare In
general, the first armored vessel wus
launched hi the year 1580. It was one
of the fleet inunued by the Knights of
St. John and was entirely covered with
sheets of lend. The accounts of the
times leave us In darkness ns to the
thickness of this lead armor, hut they
ore very positive In the statement that
they were of sufficient strength to
“successfully resist all the shots of that
day.” At the siege of Glbniltnr In 1782
the French and Spaniards used war
vessels which were armored with
“light iron boom proofing over their
decks and to the water’s edge." Thu
very first practical use of wrought Iron
plates as a defense for the sides of
vessels was by the French In the Orl-
meun war In 1853.

Many of the iiilmhltaiits of the sea
are good jumpers and some have be
come famous. Among them should he
mentioned the tarpon or silver kl.ig, a
huge fish with scales that gleam like
silver. In the Pacific waters the tunu,
an ally of the horse mackerel, is noted
for Its leaps. Sometimes a school
sweeps up the coast, and the powerful
fish, often weighing 800 pounds, are
seen In the air In every direction. They
dart like an arrow, turn gracefully five
or six feet in the air and come down,
keeping the water for acres in a foam,
and. If not the greatest, they are cer
tainly the most, graceful of the Jump
ers of the sea.

Tlie WIilrlliiK of 11 Itnllet.
Bullets from the thirty caliber rifles
of the United Stales army whirl with
great rapidity. The rifling gives one
revolution of the bullet nbout its axis
in ten Inches. At the muzzle the ve
locity of the bullet is 2,300 feet a
second, which means 2.760 turns a sec
ond, assuming that the Imllet does not
strip in the rifling. The circumference
of the bullet Is .942 Inch, which gives
a peripheral velocity of 2,600 Inches
each second, or 13,000 feet a minute.

The bankruptcy court can lionst some
delightfully naive rejoinders. “I low,
sir, Is It possible," angrily demanded

“to live in the luxurious style you have

replied, with an air of Justifiable pride,
that that “was a problem to which he
had devoted considerable time In the
Interests of social economy, and the
results of his humble efforts were now

O. \V. Nickerson and J. S. Baker were
residents of Harwich. Captain Nicker
son, us he was called, was a man of

fortunate. One day the captain met
Joe and said, “Come over tonight."
Joe did so, and as soon us he entered
the captain's home the captain took
him into a distant room, closed all the
windows and doors securely and said:
"Now, Joe, I will tell you the secret
of gening rich and you can pay me
$25. Be saving, of course, and when
you do make a bargain with any one
be sure that no one hears you, and then
if you get the worst of It or want t>

•end Down Grace.
A little Portland miss, whose first
name is Grace, had never attended
church, being too little nnd too lively
to lie trusted there, according to the
Kennebec Journal. But nt last her
mother permitted her to accompany
an elder sister, giving her grave warn
ings beforehand. The rector of the
church was a frequent caller at Grace's
home, and her mother feared that oil
this account she might take liberties.
"You must sit still,” she said, “and
you must not say one word, but let
Mr. Hnmuioiid do the talking. Now,
remember."
Oracle behaved very well In meet
ing. As soon as she reached home
she reported:
“Oh, mamma, I did keep still—real
still, anil when Mr. Hammond called
me right out In meeting I never stirred
to go to him."
“Called you? Why, child, lie never
called you In meeting."
"Yes, but he did, mamma. He said
tlwee or four times, ‘Send down Grace,’
but I sal as still as a mouse.”

The story goes that yours ago, long
before bridge was known In London
clubN, two families who played the
game under the name of "Russian
whist” wen* living In neighboring
houses at or near Great Dalby In
Leicestershire. The only road of com
munication lay over a somewhat dan
gerous bridge. It was a frequent oc
currence for the departing guests to
say to their IiosIh: "Thank goodness, It
Is your 'bridge' tomorrow," meaning
that the other party would have to
cross the dangerous bridge the next
night; hence is said to have arisen
tin* title of ‘'bridge," We give lids story
for what II Is worth, but in our own
mind we have little doubt that the
modern name of "bridge" is merely a
very easy corruption of the old title
of "blrltcli.” The two words “blrltch"
and “bridge" have absolutely the same
sound when spoken quickly, so that It

The Deer’ll Track*.
A deer if walking always places its
feet firmly closed upon the ground, nnd
consequently the track Is sharply
drawn- that is, the hoof Is not spread
to any appreciable extent. Excep
tions lire sometimes the track of deer
Unit are heavy with fawns, during
spring und early summer, and those of
old bucks during the rutting season.
But even then the heels of tlielr tracks
nre considerably closer than hi tracks
made by a hog or a sheep. The hoofs
of the latter two aiiiiiiiils are always
rounder at the toe than those of deer,
making the tracks they leave easily ills
tlngulshiible, and if the difference Is
not discernible In frozen snow the
fuel Unit the trail made by lings or
sheep does not register should settle nil
doubts for the tracker. A deer If not
wounded will always step with Its
hind foot In the truck made by the
front foot.—Field and Stream.
