JACK TARS OF OTHER DAYS.
When Ships Were Full RlKRcd Sailors
Were Athletes.
A proportion of the blue Jackets of any
full-rigged ship were necessarily athletes , says
ho North American Review. The "upper

action the various and Intricate arrangements

and top-gnllant yards It was * " done at full
_ i / „ „ it , , , aa milvprsnllv held that the
upper yardmen gave a character to the whole
ship , and that one which was forsmost In the
exercls3 was ever considered the smartest
ship In the fleet. " The upper yardmen were
always the coming men. They had the most
opportunities for distinguishing themsslves.
were the best Known , and were most under
UIB eye of the authorities. They developed
great muscular power In chest , shoulders and
arms. Their lower extremities suffered , and
ono always knew ths men who had been upper
yardmen by their tadple-llko appearance
when they were bathing.
Dut in the modern steam llne-of-battle
sblp and frigate these extremely athletic
specimens formed n very small minority of
the "ship company , " and none of them could
loaa his turn at being upper yardmen so long
as the ship's reputation depended upon the
Bpeed with which the upper yards were
crsod and sent down. In harbor the rest
of the blue jackets had the handling of the
yards and sails for exercise cnce or twice a
week , but at sea the us * of sails for propul
sion grew less and loss Important , nnd most
of the work aloft was more of an cxerclea
and less of a necessity.

INTENDS TO JIE POSTED ,
A rirlnht Western Roy Who In Study
ing Electricity.
The other day , relates the Washington
Star , Commissioner Seymour received in the
usually large mall of the patent ofllco the
following nice little letter from a boy away
out In Seattle , Wash. , saying :
"Dear Undo Sam : Will you send one of
your nephews one or two volumes of patent
ofllco reports of recent date ? I want to find
out about electricity most , though I would
llko to know about other patento , too. I am
12 years old and am going to bo in the navy
sometime , I guess , and I want to be ncuted
about things. Your Nephew , "
Tlio commissioner was much pleased by
the letter , and calling Mr. J. W. Dahson of
the Gazette division to his aid , they made
out a handsome batch of documents , Illus
trating not only electricity , but all the llneo
of scientific and mechanical study which
might Interest a boy , and sent It on to him.
The commissioner auo wrote the following
letter to the lad , who will bo a happy lad no
doubt when ho g ts it :
"Ooar little sir : I have your esteemed
letter of December 14 , 1895 , stating that you
are 12 years of age and expressing your do-
slro to find out about electricity and other
subjects for electricity , In order that you
may post yourself and In the end attain your
ambition to enter tbo navy. I take great
pleasure In sending you with this letter eom $
of the reports of this ofllco and other reading ,
which , I hope , may be Interesting and helpful -
ful to you. A great many little boy. ) have
shown genius andl ability In tbe exorcise of

MAN'S ' FRIEND , THE SKUNK
Ho Brings Now England Hunters ix Big
Pile of Moaoy ,
GATHERING THE ANNUAL SKIN CROP
I'rnninlitc nnd n\lillnrn < lnK Sport for
Man fir lloj llorv OIL Animal
In llxia olicil Vnltuif
' the llarx-xt.
Throughout the hilly farms of New Eng
land another skunk skin crop has now been
gathered in , U Isn't a harvest which Is
mentioned In the regular ogrlcultnral sta
tistics , says the Springfield Hcpubllcsn , but
It Is an Important ono , nevertheless , and
a very large proportion of barns , especially
among the meadows ot Connecticut and
central Masvachusnts , are now rejoicing In
their store ot garnered skunks. In fact ,
the skunk skin Is the mo > t Important thing
In the line ot fur which Is still exported
from the more civilized parts of New Kng-
land. The mink skin Is more valuable , but
It Is now quite rare , and the muskrat , though
plenty , Is so cheap as to bo hardly worth
the catching ; but the skunk Is both quite
valuable nnd still fairly plenty , Increasing
nnd multiplying In a riotous , six-fold , geometrical
metrical progression that would let It In
herit the earth In half n dozen generations
If it were not for the Intrepid pursuit of
the Email boy and the farmer , llcshlny , It
furnishes an exhilarating pport tor all In
search of adventures afield.
How Important a sldo Issue this skunk
catching , In many cases , Is to farmers can
bo seen by the fact that It U estimated
that from 15,000 to 25,000 skunk tklns , av
eraging about CO cents apiece to their cap
tors , were sent out from the state of Con
necticut alone last year. The skins arc
nearly nil sent abroad , tha nrlcrs belnir trnv-
crned hy three big sales In London , one In
January , ono In March , and ono In June. At
last January's sales there were 160,000 skins
disposed of. Of these a great proportion Is
said to go for use 09 caps In the Russian
and other continental armies. The skin
now serves the armies well no doubt , as It
does all of Its other users , for really It Is
a fine fur , thick and durable , and when
naturally black , very glossy nnd beautiful.
It Is for this reason that the black fklna
are preferred , ns all are eventually dyed
black , nnd the while skins when dyed are
rather dull and crock with wear. In good
years a black skin Is worth as high as $1.25.
whllo a white brings from 10 cents to 10
cents. HIack nnd white nro only comparative
terms , however , as the sk.'jis are very rarely
pure black and almost never entirely white.
For commercial purposes , however , a skin
whoso white band does not extend below the
shoulders Is black , while a white-backed
animal Is called white. Hctween these two
nre grades known respectively ns half-stripe
and full stripe , according to the size of the
white bands on the back. The white animals ,
for some reason , seem to be much more
vigorous than the black , and ns they have
an unfortunate falling for black t > kuulc as a
diet , they manage to create themselves a
majority befora the season Is over. How
ever , there are enough black ones left to
make about thirty-flvo out of 100 In a year's
catch count as black , and the average price
secured for the pelts Is somewhere about CO
cents.
On the whole , the pltunk , while not a
familiar , must be counted a friend of man.
Although he will occasionally help himself
to a half grown chicken , his general diet Is
composed of bugs about the fields , and he , of
course , devours a great many of them In a
year , turning up the stones to secure them.
However , he will cat anything that Is meat ,
especially skunk the dearest diet of skunk-
kind Is skunk , and the trappers take advan
tage ot this fact to lure them to on un
timely fate. Trapping skunks Is done chiefly
In the winter and the early spring , though
It may be begun when the skins first be
come irooil. In the middle of October , and
continue till their season Is past again , about
the middle of March. The old fashioned
figure-four trap Is still popular , supporting n
big stone , under which the unfortunate skunk
on yanking at the bait meets an abrupt and
squatty death. The later fashion U , of
course , to use steel traps , but neither are to
popular as still hunting , because the animal ?
die a fussy and Impatient death , which
leaves a lasting Impression on the skin , and
aim it is not possiuio 10 get so many citins
In this way.
The still hunt Is rather a later Institu
tion , but It Is justified by its results , and
more nro coming now to use It. The firt't
requisite of skunk hunting Is a gcod dog.
Generally a shepherd or a cross with shep
herd blood in It proves the most distin
guished In this service of mankind. But al
most any kind of a dog can be pressed Into
the service , because a good skunk dog , like n
poet , Is born and not made. He trains him
self mostly , nnd makes a personal matter of
his onslaught on his game. In his youth the
skunk dog has apparently seen ma mntner
Insulted by some wanton skunk or something
of the kind , and has devoted himself to a life
long vendetta , against the race. At all
ervents , he seldom regards the game as other
game dogs do , and often a muzzle IB neces
sary to restrain him from chewing up hlo
skunk entirely. Having a dog with a past cf
this kind about your fireside , the cport of
skunk hunting Is as simple and devoid of
strain on mentality ns golfing. Choosing a
dark , misty fall night , wo secure a stout
four-foot club , and , putting on our t < kunklng
costume , hie ourselves out Into the murky
dark and en toward the open meadows ,
where ths quarry wanders , browsing upon
succulent mouthfuls of crickets from un dor-
neat ] ! upturned stones. We nro apt to tread
at any time on our game , my reader , so
familiar and gentle n thing It lo , so step
softly , foftly. How beautiful and cool and
fragrant Is the evening air. Ah , ah , this Is
a stone wall. I think we have struck It , my
leg appears to bo broken no , It Is only
slightly upturned after all ; let us push en ,
plucking the brambles from our hair and
eye ? , and saying as llttlo as wo can ; the x3og
Is barking. I think he has Bjns.'d a skunk
In the grass and It Is oura
When once. In fact , tin dog has run across
a skunk track , It is a very simple matter to
secure it , as a rule. Sometimes , of course.
It will go to earth In the wood chuck hole ,
which It Inhabits , or a stone wall , but gen
erally the courageous little animal bristles
calmly up to tin dog and Dhows fight. In
CPHO he holes , and If one oin follow quickly
enough to catch his tall , it may be remarked
In pausing for these Interested to try It , that
It Is generally safe to yank him quickly out ,
If you are strong enough to do so , for lie
makes a strong resistance , swtlllng up In the
halo and digging his toes In. No mortal
man can pull him out entire at first , so
strcng Is Ills grip , but In a few minutes ho
growg exhiusted nnd slips gradually out.
Then , If anything Is to be clone , It were well
It were done quickly , nnd your asshtant
should mow the gatno with a club Imme
diately , unices perchance you care to hold
the animal up by Its tall , when It Is claimed
that It Is unable to harm. The tall , old hunt-
era say. Is not , as commonly claimed , an aid
to the bolllstlo properties of the animal , but
It Is necessary for It to have Its feet on th
gicund to accomplish Its purpose. Few ,
however , ore- interested enough in natural
history to attempt this experiment.
Hut , generally speaking , an personal an
encounter Is not necessary. The pugnacious
little animal turning to the dog at a rule
offers fight , and the two square off at c-ach
other. As a matter of fact , the skunk , out
side of Hu strength as an atomizer , Is nc-
mean antagonist for a dog. It has long ,
sharp teeth , overlapping each other In u
formidable manner , and when once It fas
tens them In the underllp of a dog thu latter
has sometimes all It can do to looeo Its
hold , by putting Ha paw on It and tearing
out Its teeth from the flesh. However , be
fore they close , the hunter's part of the
game cornea in. He might shoot th skunk ,
but that would tear the bkln and at the
same time bo unsportsmanlike. He plays
a nobler part. Creeping up behind while the
skunk and tbe dog are sparring for an openIng -
Ing , ho leaps forward and iwat.i the smaller
animal with his stout maslile. This la the
crisis of the game. If he hits , he wlnu ; If
he misses , he becomes skunked very badly
skunked.
When the ovcnlng'u sport is done and the
faithful dog Is moored to the far leeward
of the borne , It becomes iveceisary to drew
the produce of the chase In the woodshed
appointed for skunk dressing. The t'klns ,
like all otliem desired by dealem are re
quired to bo "caajd. " To secure a "cased"

through the winter , niul the hldo slipped
oft over this , as cosily ns the skin from a
scalded tomnto. An expert can skin n skunk
In anywhere from one to three minutes.
The skin , when removed , should be drawn

The layer of fnt under the skin was nt onetime
time n valuable by-product of the skunk In
dustry , skunk's oil being a much sought
cure for bruises and croup , nnd colds and
general dlflluultles with tha breathing ap
paratus. It was generally rubbed on the
outside of the affected part , and sometimes
taken Internally , and Its "loosening" quali
ties were considered wonderful , Those were
the palmy dayo of skunk's oil , when as high
ns | l a quart was secured for tha oil , and
as an exceptionally fat animal has
boon known to yield ns much no a quart ,
and many will glvo a pint of the liquid , It "
was quite profitable to try It out. Now ,
however , for some reason , the demand for
the nit has fallen off , and It Is no longer
considered worth while to bother with to-
curing It. There nro still many people In
the country who will use It , however , and
In fact thcro ara still some to bo found
who will cat the animals. To cat a skunk ,
the unessential must first bo carefully re
moved , and then ho must lip served hiked
or stewed. The animal Is composed of dark
meat , and Is rather too rich and oily for
most stomach * . _
IMMENSITY OF Tim UNIVERSE.

To the puny dwellers on the earth , says
Household Words , the glebe they Inhabit Is

ceasing and heroic labors of explorers , vast
tracts of Its surface nre vet nractlcnlly un

the greater part of their lives In wandering

very small part of It. Some Idea of tha
vast extent of the surface of the rnrth may
bo obtained when It Is noted that If n lofty
church stccplo Is ascended and tha landscape
visible from It looked at , 900,000 such land
scapes must' bo viewed In order that the
whole earth may bo seen.
Yet GOO globes of the size of the earth
placed sldo by sldo could bo Inclosed by
the outermost ring which surrounds the mnr-
velouu planet Saturn , and It would take 1,200
gloVes as largo as the earth , rolled In one , to
form a globe as 'largo ns Jupiter. The sun ,
If hollow , would hold 300.000 earth globes ,
and an eye capable of hourly viewing 10,000
square milts would require D5.000 years to
see all Its sur'iicc.
It Is an easy matter ten say that the sun's
distance from the earth Is , In round num
bers , 92,000,000 , miles , but It Is quite a different
matter to have even the faintest notion of
what such a distance actually means. Hosts
of Illustrations liuvo been made use of In
the almost vain endeavor to make It a llttlo
comprehensible. Perhaps the strangest Is '
that given by Prof. Mondcnhall , who says , If
wo could Imagine an Infant with an arm long
enough to reach to the sun and burn him
self , he would dlo of old age long before he
could feel the pain , ns , according to the re-
fwnrchoa of Hclinholtz nnd others , sensation
travels along the nerves only at the rate of
about 100 feet a second , or 1,637 mlles a
day , nnd would accordingly need more than fit
1BO years to cover the distance from the | |
earth to the sun.
Neptune , the outermost member of the
solar system yet known. Is thirty times
farther from the sun than the earth Is , or
2,780,000,000 miles , nnd the tremendous line of
hla orbit , which encloses our comparatively
small group of heavenly bodies. Is so long that
although hla rate of travel Is three miles In .
a tiecond , It takes him 105 years complete
ono circuit.
Leaving the bounds of the eolar system , of
which the memb'rs and dlmenslons'aro known
to U9 with some degree of exactitude , its
size sinks Into Insignificance and Its entlro
extent becomes a mere speck In comparison
with the immensity of star-studded opaco.
There Is no longer the possibility of exact
nittu'iircment ; there can bo only approxlma-
tlons , often rcaigh and uncertain ; but , allowIng -
Ing a wide margin for error , enough Is known
to stagger the Imagination and bewilder the
clearest Intellect.
From Hie outermost uounus or. me soiar
system to the nearest ( tad star Is a tre- 7
momlous leap. It la certainly not less than i
200,000 times further from us than the eun , f
or. say , 20,000,000,000 miles. Light Itself. 1
which flashes through space with the- almost x
Inconceivable velocity of about 185,000 mlloi g
a D2cond and rrqulrea only some eight mln-
utea to traverse the distance betwen us and 4f
the sun , requires thrco years to come to ua f
from the nearest star. Hut the distances ol
v-Pry few of the stars have been oven roughly j
measured , and most of these visible on a 4
clear night sand us their light from distanced i

nilllnns of miles and "light years" nra
words which convey no definite meaning. It
Is , however , possible to bring star distances " '
roughly within our grasp by reducing them *
to a scale , the unit of which la sufficiently
Final ! . For tills purpose , take the dlstanco
from the earth to the sun as a unit and j
suppose It to bo reduced to one Inch ; then , t
on this scale , the tremendous flight ot a ray ;
of light In one year will represented by *
one mile , and the distance of the nearest
fixed stars by three miles. And similarly
with other known star distances , a mile 5
represents n "light year. " J
Wo cannot Judge the distances of the
stars by their brightness. The nearest nro ,
not always the hrlghost , clso the problem
would not present sa many dlfflcultlrM TlnM *
Slrlns Is 1,000,000 times ns far away fiUio j

Slrluf , If removed to the place occupied by ?
lliat most magnificent of stars , would send '
us but one-fiftieth of the light Slrlus now # '
sends us. There are stars visible to us which *
are so Inconceivably remote that ths light %

exercise of extraordinary patience , nnd observing -

telekcopo ot three Inches aperture. Every <
Increase In the power of a telescope Increases $

It Is computed that there nre In the Milky S
Way at least 20,000,000 stars. I2acli may bo
biipposed to be surrounded by fifty planets , >
to that there are probably 1,000,000,000
heavenly bodies In this one cluster , of which
wo are supposed to occupy an Insignificant
corner. Hut there are * , beyond thlt , some
3,000 star clusters known to us , wch of
which reprcstnts a milky way like our own ,
If two-thirds of these clusters ara as largo
as our Milky Way , the number of stara
mounts up to forty thousand times a million ,
iwn million times a million heavenly
bodies ,
Our knowledge of the universe IB not ex
hausted with all this vast series. Those star
clutters , or nebulae , which can bo resolved
Into stars when looked at by powerful telo-
rcopes , lead ua to consideration of the many
other nebulae which cannot be retolved by
any telescopic power Into Individual tiara ,
hut which as Indubitably appears by the
character of their spectrum consist of world
