What Became of the Captain?
The city fadeaway in the distauce ; and
then we !settle dowo °nee more to the dull
routine of a nano -war. We expeelence
air winds and weather, and the next cloy
uncouple the propeller and keep under sail
alone.
Now comee the ideal time dear to the
seller's heart, whea seated in some cosy
nook he can erneke his pipe in peeoe and
spin yarns without end. Are any of them
worth recording ? Yes ; if you can get an
old quartermaster to talk to you you
will often her of strange adventures as
wonderful as any Clark Russell has record -
"1 arn not a believer in ghosts or super-
natural appearances," says he, "any more
than you may be"—this tc me—" b110 a very
strange thiug happened in a ship I once
saileelan.
" Tha captain was very fond of fishing—
that nalof throwing the grains and harpoon,
which he did well; and if a fish came fairly
under the martingale he rarely, if ever,
mimed him. One day we had a number of
porpoises come snorting round the ship,
tearing about bolder than ever I saw them,
and seemed to look up at the captain as
much as to say, Catch us it you can.' Well,
he was a spicy little fellow and didn't like
any chaffing and nonsense; so says he, look-
ing at them over the quarter; You d bet-
ter not tempt me too tar, for I want oil and
I don't like to be jeered at,' upon wtaioh one
of them— about the biggest I ever saw—
pushed his nose above the water and gave a
sort of sputtering snort, just fie if he'd been
laughiuo to hiragelt, but couldn't hold in
any longer and was obliged to burst out.
Well, the ometain couldn't Maud being
made a joke of by a porpoise; so he says:
make you laugh on the other side of
your pig's face before I've done with you,
my boy.' And then he called to the second
mate, and says he, Just bend on the line to
the harpoon and I'll strike that fellow if he
comes within reach again, if he is the devil
himself?'
"Well, there was no poop inthat vessel,
so the captain took his stand on the quarter.
boat, and had his harpoon all ready, and the
line coded free and all clear for the first por-
poise that came near—but especially the big
black one if possible. There he was—the
mate looking et him, the man at the wheel
looking at him as well as he eould while
minding his course, and two men looking at
him who were mending sails, and another
man looking at him as he rigged a Scot° tunanon
to the backstity, I was on deck, too, but not
looking at him constantly, because I was at-
tending the ship's course and looking up at
the ship's sails.
"All of a sudden somebody sung out,
'where's the captain?' and we all looked
about and nobody could see him; so I jump-
ed into the boat, thinking he might be got
(Iowa in her for something, but sure enough;
he wasn't there, nor the harpoon, nor the
line; only about a fathom of the end of
the Iine that was bent on to the standing
riggeog. And nobody heard any splash in
the water, leer saw him strike at the fish,
nor fall overboard, but ovenboard he cer-
tainly was.
"Well, we couldn't be convinced that he
was out of the ship, so we searched the
oabin; and the 'tween decks, and even the
bold, but we never saw him again.
Well, we were very downhearted at
thise and the men thought it a bad sign; but
that; of course, I knew was all nonsense.
However, the mate took command of the
:ship, and brought her into Bombay, and
there most of the hands left her; they never
were reconciled to the ship after the cap-
tain disappeared, because they said every
night, as sure as eight bells struok, they saw
the captain standing up in the boat with the
harpoon in his hand, and heard him say;
I'll strike him if he's the devil himself,'
and then there was a snorting and a half -
choked laughing noise in the water all
around. the ship, but eapecially under the
starboard quarter, where the captain disap•
peered; and this I could have sworn I heard
often enough myself.

Who hee not felt a eat of pity for the
dog which always gets lte renseat the length
of a leading etring ? Every one who has
sympathized with the poor doge confined
oonctition will approciete th* ()lever ruse of
thedog in the following anecdote, which
i
we find n a Western exohange
Captain Williams of the ship S. Paul, ly.
lug at Green Street Wharf, is the posseesor
a a valueble petter , Thedc,g has lived with
the cappichne f amily for some years and is a
meat intelligeat aninini. Being detected in
some sheep worrying at home, the dog fell
into disgrace, and as a puuishment was sent
to sea on the St, Paul. .
The captain had a nice house built for
him on the deck abaft the mainmast. Since
eariving in porn every night the dog has
been fastened in his kennel with a collar at•
taohed to a chain. Every evening on going
on boerd, it has been Captain William's
habit to go to the kennel and pat the dog
before going to his berth.
A few night e ago, on going to the kennel
as usual, the captain found that a dog was
there as usual, but it did nob feel tie the
touch like the family setter and had no col -
lee. On procuring a light he found that a
strange dog occupied the house. Ile lefe
the dog there and retired.
Next morning he found his own dog in the
kennel, as usual with its collar on, looking
areinnocent as if it had been there all night.
In the evening the captain kept watch, and
;shortly after night fall the strenge dog came
on board (iglu and went to the kennel, the
setter with his paws Blipped off his collar
and scooted over the gang -plank for a run
ashore, the strringe dog taking his place.
He returned next morning at daybreak,
slipped on hie collar, and was all ready to
be patted when the skipper oame out for his
early coffee.
Captain Williams than punched an extra
hole in the collar and awaited developments.
At nightfall the strange dog came on board
again and, going to the kennel, prepared to
take his place as usual. The setter oould
not get his collar off and had to remain.
The dogs, who were watched, had an ant -
mated conversation in canine, Volapak, or
some other language, and then the setter re•
tired to rest, while the strange dog wended
its way on shore, pondering on man's inhu-
manity to dogs, and sorry that its newly
made friend could not go and "run" in the
company of the select coterie of dogs that
nightly gather on the be ',wall andadjacent
wharves.

110w the Birds Build.
At the season when birds are building
their nests, it is an interesting chapter of
natural history that tells us how they make
their homes. From the observations of an
English writer these facts are gathered.
Scarcely any bird is more wary than the
wood•pigeon at other times, yet in the spring,
he says, there are generally half -a -dozen nests
in the moat exposed places near his houses
while the old birds sit tamely, and apparently
devoid of all fear, close to the windows.
The missel-thrush forms its nest in the
apple trees close to the house. Its nest,
although large, is so carefully built of material
resembling in color the bark oi the tree, and
is made to blend itself so gradually with the
branches as to show no distince outline of a
nseit, and to render the nest very diffi welt to
discover. ,
The wren always adapts her nest to the
color and appearance a the surrounding foli-
age. In a beeoh hedge near the house, in
whieb the leaves of the last year still remain
at the time when the birds bdgin to build, the
wrens form the outside of their nests entirely
of the withered leaves of the beech, so that,
large as itis, the passer-by would never take
it for anything more than a chance collection
of leaves heaped together. When the wren
builds near the ground, she forms her nest
of the long withered grass such as grows
about the spot. When her nest is in a
spruce -tree, she covers it with green moss
which. resembles the foliage of the spruce.
The little white throat bunch; her nest on
the ground, at the root of a tree or in long
withered grass, and carefully arches it over
with the Surrounding herbage and to hide
her little white eggs, places a leaf in frontlet
the entrance whenever she leaves her nest.
When the partridge quits her eggs for the
purpose of feeding, she covers them in the
most caref al manner, and even closes the
path by which she goes to and fro through
the grass. The wild duck does the same,
and hides her nest and eggs byoovering them
with dead leaves, sticks and othersubstitnoes
which she afterward smooths carefully over
eo as entirely to conceal all traces of her
dwelling. The larger birds, whose nests are
too large for concealment, provide for their
security by other means. A raven, who
builds in a tree, inv irkibly fixes on the one
that is mese difficult to climb. She makes
her neat in ono whose large size and smooth
trunk, devoid of branches, set at defiance the
utmost efforts of the most export climbers.
There is one kind of swallow which breeds
very frequently about the caves and rooks on
the seashore here. It is almost impossible
to distinguish the nest of this bird, owing to
her choosing some inequality of the rock to
hide the outline of her building, which is
composed of mud and clay exactly the same
color as the rock itself
Frank Millet's Ruse.
Everybody has heard of Frank Millet.
He paints pictures and writes magazine
arbiales in times of peace, but when a war
is " on " he become a "war correspondent,"
and is likely to turn up in the Soudan, the
Transvaal or the Belkans. But there was a
time when he was not known. He sent
piotures to exhibitions, to be sure and good
'
ones but no ne paid any particular atten-
tion to them or said anything aboutthem.
One day he a received an idea,. He painted
a picture of a lady in black sitting on a
bright red sofa standing against a vivid
yellow background. The effect was just a
trifle startling. Friends who savait in process
of production expostulated with , him, and
&eked what he was going to do with it
They were simply astounded when he an-
nounced that he was going to send it to the
exhibition. They labored with him, but in
vain. Tney told him that the critics would
ic wipeethe floor" with him. "They can't do
that without mentioning me," said Frank,
quietly, " and they've never even done that
yet." To the exhibition the picture went.
It killed everything within twenty feet od
either side of it. You couldn't help looking
at it. It simply knocked you down and
held you there. The critics got into a tow-
ering passion over it. They wrote whole
columns aboat it. They exhausted the
English language in abusing it. They ridi-
culed the committee that permitted it to be
bung. They had 'squibs and gibes aboutit,
but everar time they spoke of it they men-
tioned Frank Millet. He suddenly became
the bestlinown artist in town, Somebody.,
because of the stir it had made, bought the
piettire ata good price, and removed it to
the seclusion of his own home. When the
next exhibition came off Frank had another
piature.ready, one of a very different sort,
and very good, but no better than others
which had been exhibited before. The
,oritice had much to say about it, and "noted
th pleasure the marked improvement '
tfiat Mr. Millet had made "fan evidence,"
as they modestly put it, "of the value of
criticism, even though severe, to a young
artist." And the majority of them never
eaw that Frank had simply compelled their
attention by a clever trick.

Breakfast Among the Tartars.
I went into one of the stone built re-
cesses, where several of our Tartars were
crouching round a small grass root fire,
and was considerably edified by watching
them cooking and dispatching their morn-
ing repast. To begin with, a vary dirty
copper vessel wee put on the fire and filled
with some green weed like nettles, barley
fiour and water. While one of the men
stirred this pottage round and round with
a wooden ladle another produced some raw
meat—a bit of the dong I had shot. This
he prooeeded to tear up into small strips
and throw thent on the fire, every now and
then popping a rem lump into his mouth
and masticating it with the greatest appar-
ent gusto. Even the bits on the fire were
quickly disposed of after being merely
singed.
As soon as the pottage was considered
ready it was ladled out into little wooden
cups, like the whiskey " onaighs" of the
Highlands, minus the handles, whioh each
man produced from inside the breast of his
dirty woolen coat, and gulped up from
them with a prodigious amount of noise
After being replenished again and again until
the pet was emptied, the caps were carefully
licked clean and redepoeited from whence
they had been taken. Another course of
the fiesh was about to be partaken of after
the manner of the first, but a regard for my
own appetite for breakfast prevented my
waiting to see it discussed. These hardy
Tartars are quite independent of any other
dishes beyond their little wooden bowls.
In these they mix their suttee (meal made
from barley) with a little water and salt
and make an expeditious repast of it when-
ever they feel hangry. Indeed, this kind
of uncooked porridge seems to be their
staple food.—Bleoltwood's Magazine.

Strawberries will send their roots from

to produce larger, more and better colored
