The brook or running stream of
natural outdoor water gives a variety
of chances for the man who wishes to
live his life aright. The brook can
be converted, without being diverted,
Into a swimming pool for boys by
building a dam at the point where the
banks do a little extra shelving ami
tend to form a natural basin. The bot
tom should be spaded out and made
more of a reservoir In Its capacity and
shape. The dam Itself can be made by
a family of boys at the cost of the
lumber ami nails Involved. The em
bankments are sodded. The sides of
the spillway are made of wooden posts
driven into the ground ami boarded
up. This makes a box up affair, or
rather two boxes, one ou each side of
the stream. These boxes are filled
with sand, rocks and sods to make a
solid cubic piece of resistance. The
sodded embankments run across the
valley or depression of the brook hol
low to the higher ground. By means
of a lever a pole (playing Into a
wooden jawed socket and weighted
with a rock or pieces of Iron) the
water gate can be opened against a
strong headway of water. The water
flows over the top of the spillway
when It Is closed, and by raising the
gate the pond can be emptied or re
duced to the !ior:;iaI level of the brook.

THE MALE CRICKET.
Cnrlor.s Trent He Derelop For the
Lnrly of II in Choice.
In the American Naturalist J. L.
Hancock gives nit Interesting descrip
tion of some of the habits of the
striped meadow cricket. The most
striking part of the account deals
with the allurements which the male
crickets possess. When he wishes to
attract the female the male cricket
raises his fore wings vertically above
his head and by rubbing them over
each other produces a high pitched
singing, or, perhaps better, shrilling.
When the female's attention hns been
attracted she goes to the male and
proceeds to take advantage of the re
freshments offered. Upon the mate's
back, situated well forward on the
thorax, Is a little depression or well In
which a small quantity of semifluid
material Is secreted. Climbing up on
the male's back, the female cats this
apparently delicious morsel with great
eagerness. It Is evidently something
especially choice which Is formed
there for her especial benefit This
proceeding bttggests that treating as a
means of winning a lady's love Is not
confined to the allurements of ice
cream and sodu water. Collier's

England' Newspaper Tax.
On June 15, 1855, England's newspa
per stump duty was abolished and the
reign of the cheap dally began. This
"tax on knowledge" was first Imposed
In 1712 and was made most severe by
the act of 1820, which fixed It at 8
cents a sheet, with 8T cents duty on
each advertisement The Whigs re
duced the duty to a penny in 1830, but
when the Crimean war broke out and
every one wanted the news even a
penny duty was found to be intolera
ble. Its repeal Is called the Magna
Charta of the British press.

It to pieces and refashioned it. Three
copies were prepared and were splen

Chinese. These were Inclosed together
in a sumptuous gold case, anil to make
the whole presentment still more Im
pressive to the Japanese mind the gold
cuse was enshrined In a coffer of rose
wood. The document intrusted to Commo
dore Perry asked of the Japanese court
two things, friendship and trade first
and foremost, friendship, for tho safe
ty of our seamen. Many a hapless
crew had been driven Into their ports
by storm or wrecked on , their rocky
coast, escaping the perils of the tleep
only to be welcomed by those truculent
Islanders to a dungeon or a cage on
shore. This wrong must be stopped at
all hazards. And If, lu addition, we
could persuade Japan to enter Into
friendly relations of trade the two
countries by mutual interchange of
productions might each promote Its
own prosperity anil the welfare of the
other. It was thought that orientals
might see that as well as Yankees'. In
the end they did. But It cannot be

TRUE WAY TO MAKE TEA.
A Science Which Includes Many Mys
teries In (he Itren-.
Ijitwuh, a poet, saw in the tea serv
ice the same harmony and order which
reigned through all things. In his cel
ebrated work, tlte "Clia-khig" ("The
Holy Scripture of Ten"), he formulated
the code of tea. lie has since been
worshiped as the tutelary god of the
Chinese tea merchants.
In the 11 fth chapter Luwuh describes
the method of making tea. lie dwells
on the much discussed question of the
choice of water and the degree of boil
ing It. According to him, the moun
tain spring Is the best; the river water
nml the spring water come next In
the order of excellence. There are
three stages of boiling. The first boll
' Is when the little bubbles like the eyes
of fishes swUn on the surface. Tho
second boll is when the hubbies are
like crystal beads rolling in a fountain.
The third boll Is when the billows
surge wildly In the kettle. The enke
tea Is roasted before the fire until It
becomes soft like a baby's arm and
Is shredded into powder between
pieces of fine paper. Salt Is put in
the first boll, the tea In the second. At
the third boll a dipperful of cold water
Is poured Into tho kettle to settle the
tea and revive the "youth of the wa
ter." Then tho beverage was poured
Into cups and drunk. Oh, nectarl The

HE TOOK LONG CHANCES.
Bn the Tailor's Anxiety and Bill
Were lie. Ill Flnrflly Settled.
Tito doctor of an English regiment
stationed In India received a letter
from bis tailor Imposing a long overdue
account and concluding with a polite
Inquiry after the debtor's state of
health. The sawliones replied thus:
"I have received your hypocritical
letter hoping th.tt I am In a good state
of health. Hear, then, what your
dinners of my living long enough to
be able to pay jour bill tire. I atlond
assiduously every cholera case In the
camp, and I am making smallpox u

In a lake swarming with alligators. At

the three who returned unwounlcd.
Tomorrow morning I shall go unac

and wait for the man oallr.g tigress in

spend my leave In the fever haunted
Jungle following up big game, and If I
survive that I shall cool myself after
Its heat by joining a party to ascend

Handel' Appetite.
Handel was blessed with a wonder
ful appetite, and many are the amus
ing accounts, true or otherwise, as to
the means taken by Its owner for Its
Indulgence. His gastronomic propensi
ties were frequently the object of sa
tires, and In one caricature the com
poser Is represented as sitting on a
beer lytrrel. A bam and a pair of
fowls are attached to the pipes of an
organ, a turbot lies upon a pile of
books, and the floor of the apartment
Is strewn with oyster shells. It is
more likely that his adversaries In
vented and propagated many of the
wild stories concerning bis eating and
drinking powers than that they had
any foundation in literal fact No one
would probably order a dinner for
three persons for instance, and be

Sniping In Warfare.
The method of sniping in warfare is
as follows: Three men set out two
In one direction and one in another.
The single man, when he believes be is
In the neighborhood of the enemy, lets
off his rifle, no matter In what direc
tion, and thus draws the fire of the
sentry. Immediately the two other
stalkers fire Into the space lit up by
the discharge. When this goes on, all
round the camp the result is constant
alarm at night time. Soldiers are
warned not to reply to a sniper, but
the temptation is well nigh Irresistible.
Their exertions, however, meet with
little success, for snipers generally
stalk the sentries from behind stones.

BATTLEFIELD ORATIONS.
A Great Denl of Fiction Abont the
Recorded Blnrtlal Speeehea.
Somebody once asked the Duke of
Wellington If speeches on tho battle
Held were really made, as reported and
what was their effect. Tho duke said,
"What effect on the whole army can
be made by a speech since you cannot
conveniently make It heard by more
than a thousand men standing about
you?" Then the duko was asked If
It were not the fact that Napoleon de
livered some rather notable orations
on tho field. The duko would not have
It. "The proclamations you read of In
the French army were much more seen
In the papers than by tho soldiers they
were meant for Paris." It was all
right, the duke agreed, to address a
regiment upon presenting It with col
ors and that sort of thing. On the
whole, French troops might be more
Impressed by a speech than tho Eng
lish, who In the duke's Waterloo orrny
were, he declared, "the Scum of tho
earth, who had all enlisted for drink."
The French, with their system of con
scription, had a fair sprinkling of all
classes.
"No," comments a writer, "all these
martial obiter dicta which our histories
treasure up for us were for tho most
part never spoken at all. Tho 'last
words' of dying men and the speeches
made on the battlefield or the deck of
an admiral's flagship are not to bo re
garded as having been nctually ut-,
tered. The famous 'Up, guards, and at
'em!' accredited to Wellington at Wa
terloo, was never spoken. Wellington ,
himself denied it."
