THE SCHOONER
Whore the Fore and After Beats the
Square Rigger
The ability of the schooner to meet
the requirements of present day con
dltlons white the square riggers have
been found wanting can be readily
understood when we take Into consid
eration the numerous advantages pos
aessed by the fore and aft rig that are
essential to the ideal carrier
Operating expense that prime factor
in all transportation problems is here
reduced to a minimum for there is no
motive power so cheap as the free
winds of heaven and no other craft so
well adapted to utilize and control this
force The sails are of handy form
and can be nwdily handled from the
deck by h handful of men or with
steam power if desired The schooner
can sail several points nearer the eye
of the wind than a square rigger Is
able to do
Built on the old clipper model they
sail like witches and owing to their
peculiar constructions can be readily
loaded and discharged They require
but little ballast and having no heavy
top hamper can if necessary to the
trade take on immense deck loads
In the lumber traffic of the Iiaclflc
northwest we find these vessels leav
ing port with huge deck loads tower
ing ten to fifteen feet above the rail
Occasionally they get caught in a blow
and have to sacrifice a portion of the
deck load but where one meets such
a mishap dozens reach their designa
tions safely and land their cargoes in

A GAME
OF POKER
Was an Object Lesson on
Playing
Cards With Strangers
A card sharp Avell known to the
stewards of the great ocean liners was
i passenger on a recent trip across
lie received a Hue at Queenstown
which had the effect of keeping hiiu
out of the large games in the smoking
room lie contented himself with pe
nuchle and bridge at 2 cents a hun
dred points Oa the evening before
landing one of his bridge party none
of whom knew that he was a profes
sional with a bad record proposed
changing the game to poker Its
bad practice said the card sharp to
poker with strangers Theres too
much risk but its all right in this
case The others said there was no
risk if a man had good sense and kept
his eyes open The deal fell to the pro
fessional and when cards had been
drawn by each man he said Now
Ill show you how much you know
Mr A you have the winning hand
Mr B your three queens look good
but what show have they against Mr
Cs four fives And what good are
they against As four kings Does it
tally
It did and A said Well its my
pot
I was afraid that might happen so
I dealt myself a straight flush lie
showed it arose from his chair and
said Give the steward what I put in
This was an object lesson dont play
poker with strangers New York

The Barbecue
The word barbecue is derived from
the Spanish word barbacao and is a
native Haitian term for a wooden
framework supporting meat or fish to
be smoked or dried over a fire In
its popular sense it means a large so
cial or political entertainment in the
open air at which sheep or oxen are
roasted whole and all the feasting is
on a most liberal scale Georgia is
probably the native home of the bar
becue and is called the Barbecue State
Who prepared the first barbecue Is un
known Deer bear and other game
constituted the meat roasted in the
barbecues of fifty years ago Cincin

The Butchers Smock
The butchers smock was blue It
looked much neater than the white
smocks of his friends all smeared with
dried blood Every butcher said the
man ought to wear a blue smock
Why Because dry blood wont show
ou it Dry blood turns bluish and on
a smock of this color it Is invisible I
am descended from a long line of
butchers and from father to son the
word has been passed down always to
wear for neatness sake a smock of
blue New Orleans Times Democrat
Croutons
To cut bread into dice before frying
if it is to be used as croutons is not
the most approved method When done
In this way it becomes very hard and
indigestible The bread should rather
be cut into thin slices and then stamp
ed out in circles a little larger than a
quarter or cut into squares of about
the same size or in oblongs two inches
long and over one half inch thick
These tossed into hot lard and taken
out almost instantly in to frying
basket are the most palatable
Queer Marriages
In southern India marriage with in
animate objects is not altogether un
known A man who has lost two
wives and wishes to marry another
will go through a formal marriage
ceremony with a plantain tree which
is afterward cut down This stands
for the third marriage which is con
sidered Inauspicious and the man feels
free to make a fourth marriage with a
third woman
