Cheap gun atocka are ninde from
Amerlcnn walnnt, which costa bnt a
trifle in the rough, but ia too porona for

The traditional ornamentation ia a ae

smith may spend two days or more in
faiaking a stock, and a handmade atock
of Brazilian walnut may be worth f 25.
Fancy woods are not much used in
gun Btocks Unit are to be anything but
show pieces. Mahogany ia too brittle for
the purpose, and rosewood ia too heavy.
The finishing has to be of a sort to re
sist water, and hence ordinary varnish
ia not used in polishing a well made
gnu stock. There are comparatively few
gunsmiths in town that ninke a special
ty of handmade stocks, and those are
usually Germans. A gunsmith is occa
sionally asked to make an ospecinlly or
nate stock with carvings, and possibly
even inset pearl, ivory or gold. These
stocks are costly, but for practical pur
poses they are loss useful than the plai
stock of English, German or Bracilian
walnut. New York Bun.

THE IRON DUKE.
WalllBKtnn and (11a Ways as Seen by Two
English Artiste.
When engaged on tho two pictures,
"The Qneen Receiving the 8acrament"
and "The Christening of the Princess
Royal," much of my father' time and
money were spent in taking them from
ono nobleman's house to another to ob
tain sittings, but often to find, after
making nn appointment with a duke or
a lord, first that he was engaged, and
after waiting for hours that he regretted
not then being able to see Mr. Leslie,
but would bo at hia aerrice on the fol
lowing day. The Iron Duke was nn ex- :
ception, and tho day after he received a
note from my father I saw a white hair
ed elderly gentleman walk up the short
gravel path and steep steps of our little
villa, nnd shading hia eyea from the
sun tnko a rapid aurvoy of the front gar-
den aa he stood on the atepa, and how, 1
when a small maidservant anuwered hia
knock and question, "Is thin Mr. Lea
lie?" with "Yes, sir. What name,
plcaso?" hi reply in a very cloar, loud
voice, "TheDookof Wellington," near
ly mode the girl drop where she stood,
and not only brought my father, palette
and brushes in hand, to her rescue, but
many heads out of the upper windows
of tho ndjolning villa.
Then, before going indoors, he in
formed my father and all the neighbors
in tho some loud tone that the distance
between Apsley House and ours was
"five miles, " repenting it more than
once, nnd when my father ventured to
any, "I think not quite ao much, your
grace, "he closed tho argument thus:
"Oh, yes, it must be. I'm a good judge
of distance, and consider it certainly
over five miles." The duke had come
on horseback, and was much pleased
when told that my father would wait
upon him for a sitting at Apsley House,
but on doing ao he wns received by the
duke with, "Well, Mr. Lealio, didn't
you find it a long way over flvo miles,
I am sure?"
A few dnya later my father chanced
to mention this to Sir Edwin Lomlseer,
who know more of the duke than he
did. Sir Edwin aaid: "It ia no use to
differ with the duke. I onoo did about
aome engraviuga of my owu pictures with
which he was having a room papered,
and ventured to suggeat that, aa many
of them were valuable proofs, they
might be attachod to the wall only by
paste round the edges, so that at nuy
futuro time they oould bo removed
without injury. But he cut me short at
once with: 'No, no, that would not do
at nil. Whut I do ia this: I get a man
with a pot of strong pasto and a big
bniBb, and ho pastes them all over the
backs, and up they go at ouce, with 110
more bother about them. ' "Temple
Bar.
Reaching an Understanding.
What I want to know," ho begun
after tho chief clerk hod been sent fur
and bad arrived at tho window, "is
whether the money order department is
open nights?
"No, sir."
"Not open At 10 o'clock at night,
eh?"
"Nn air."
"Should I receive a money order from

waa that she canned the peaches when
they were green and only partially oook

it generally flew off on to the floor.
After the company had departed they

A FLOOD REMINISCENCE.
Bow a Young Enallsh Engineer Saved
Lowell From "Destruction.
The city of Lowell wns saved from
destruction in 1 852 by tho foresight of
one young man. About 1805 a Lowell
antiquarian named Uriah A. Boyrten
devoted mnch attention to investigiting
a tradition of a great flood in tho Mcrri
luno in 1785 and found an old man who
reinemliered thnt his father mnrked the
height of tho water by driving a spike
iu an npplo tree. Mr. Boyden persevered
in his search until ho found tho tree in
Tyugsboro, several miles nbovo Lowell.
Its trunk was hollow, and entering it
from below ho discovered tho spike, its
head wholly concealed by tho bni-k, at a
considerable distance nliove tho ground.
It showed thnt iu 1785 the wnter had
risen to a point 18,'ij feet higher th:tn
tho top of the dnm at the mouth of th"
canal, which furnished tho Lowell wn
ter power in 1885.
Tho engineer in chnrKC or this power
was James B. Francis, n young English
man, who urged tho directors of the
corporation to provide ngninst the recur
rence of such a rise of water. Ins argu
ments prcvniled, nnd ho was allowed to
construct two immenso wing walls of
masonry, diverging from the canul lock
and inclosing tho entire country between
the canal and the river. Over the water
way he hung an immensely strong gate,
weighing 20 tons, which was suspended
by a wrought iron chain. A sledgo and
a cold chisel were placed in the care or
the watchman for use when needed. The
work waa finished in 18G0, nnd for twa
years was laughed at as "Francis
folly."
On the morning of April 22, 1852, the
waters rose so high that the oity of
Lowell was threatened with destruction,
and the young engineer was sent for.
He rodo to the dam without a saddle
and hurriedly cut tho chain, releasing
tho grent gate. Hi work stood bravely,
and the Boston Advertiser, five days
later, snid that if it had not been con
structed "every veBtige of the old guard
gntes would hnve been carried away and
a mighty and uncontrollable river would
have swept through the heart of Low
ell, destroying everything initsoourse."
A service of plate waa presented to Mr.
Francis, and during tho remainder of
his lifo, which ended only recently, ho
was ono of Lowell's most honored citi
zens. For more than 40 years he wns
agent of the corporation controlling the
wnter power. Chicago Inter Ocean.
One Way of Catching Fiddler Crabs.
Thero are various ways of catching
fiddler crabs. One way of catching tho
black or mud fiddler, the one that bores
into meadow banks along salt creeks, is
with two boards so placed as to form a
deep aided letter V. The fisherman Becks
a spot where there ia a little atrip of
annd at low water, between tho base of"
tho mud bank and the water's edge.
The crabs como out of their hole and go
down to the edge of the water, often fit
great numbers. The fisherman cornea
over the meadow with his boards, which
he sets up on edge as quietly as he can
on tho sand, with the opening of the V
toward the water. Then he alarm the
crabs, and they come scurrying up the
little beach in multitudes, bound for
their holes. As they come they carry
their big claw aloft, somewhat as the
soldier carries his grin. It is from this,
habit that the fiddler crab gets the name,
of soldier crab, by which it is also
known. Those crubs that are opposite
the opening in the V hustle with th
rest of tho line, bnt when they strike
the board sides they are thrown more
and more together, until they converge
in a mass at the point The fisherman,
sitting outside, takes them out by tho
handful. New York Sun.
