The enormous amount of work involved when the order "Clear for action is bugled to the crew on a man-o-wis Inconceivable to the lay mind and puzzling to those who boast of a smattering of naval knowledge. In the "good old days," as we hear them spoken of now. a fighting ship entered upon an engagement in much the same rig as always carried, but our vessels of today are far too aristocratic to indulge in any dirty work when attired In their "Sunday best. Perhaps the simile we draw is Just a little too farfetched. but nevertheless it is true that the more handsome equipped a ship is, just so much additional time has to be spent in denuding her of borrowed plumes when the time arrives for "seeing it through," as Jack is so fond of explaining would be the case with his particular ship if she once got into action. Of all naval drills none are more fatiguing or demand more attention than Clear for action entails. But, even then, drills are light compared with what would actually happen If the men were preparing for an engagement in actuality. The Initial step for clearing a Bhip is the calling to quarters of all the men. Every individual has his appointed post, and in the case cruiser or a battleship .of a which carries a crew of between 700 and 800 officers and men it might easily be imagined that the bustle caused by their running to their posts at a moments call is not inconsiderable. Positions having been taken up, the significant order of preparation for battle is given, and what follows can only lie compared to house-cleaniin a most unusual and extravagant manner. The top of the deck undergoes a complete change. Kails, davits and a hundred and one other details are taken down and stored out of sight, and the numerous boats and steam pinnaces which are carried at all times are cut adrift, to be picked up and taken in tow later on by one cruisers that is, pre'or the third-clas- s suming that a fleet is preparing for action. In any case the boats would be cast off, as it would be dangerous to keep them at the davits, for fear of their being splintered or set on fire by the enemy's shells. Simultaneously with the clearing of the top deck, men are actively engaged on the lower, decks, shutting water-t'gdoors, preand placing paring the torpedo-net- s the collision mat in a handy position in case of emergency. Communications with tne top quarter decks are usually, with but one exception, cut off; and from the moment the ship goes into action every order and movement is given and conducted from the conning tower, about which we shall have more to say. Other sections of men get ready the ammunition hoists, and it is with many a sigh that officers watch their furniture depart overboard, but whether to be recovered again depends precisely upon the length of time at disposal before the first gim is fired. With something like half a days notice no doubt a great deal of the furniture and effects, especially that found in the ward room, gun and smoking rooms, would be transferred to the ship's boats before being cut adrift, but when only minutes or a few hours intervene between the outbreak of hostilities there are no scruples, and the whole lot in cant overboard for fear of a shot reaching any of it and setting fire to the ironclad.

The other day Mrs. Ureyskin appeared at the dairy door, and when she had been fed Phoebe and I followed her, stealthily, from a distance. She walked slowly about, as if her mind were quite free from harassing care, and finally approached a deserted cow house, where there was a great mound of straw. At this moment she caught sight of us and turned in another direction to throw us off the scent. We persevered in our intention of going into her probable retreat, and were cautiously looking for some sign of life in the haymow, when we heard a soft cackle and a ruffing or plumage. Coming closer to toe sound we saw a black hen brooding a nest, her bright bead eyes turning nervously from side to side; and. coaxed out from her protecting wings by youthful curiosity, came four kittens, eyes wide open, warm, happy, ready for sport! The sight was irresistible, and Phoebe ran for Mr. and Mrs. Heaven and the a certain Mrs. Oreyskin. Square Baby. Mother Hen was- not to be embarrassed or daunted, even 1 1 her most sacred feelings were regarded in the light of a cheap entertainment. She held her ground while one of the kits slid up and down her glossy back, and two others more timid, crept underneath her breast, only daring to put out their pink noses!

You reply by naming some city you think I have in mind. If you do not guess right the first time, I say no; that city is too far north, south, east or west from the one I have in mind. ) For instance: Supposing I am thinking of San Francisco: I say to you: What city in the United States am I thinking of? You answer Boston. No. I reply; Boston is too far northeast. Then you. try again, this time naming a place further west and Bouth of Boston; say. Philadelphia. I tell you that Philadelphia is still too far east. Thus you continue, naming cities further west until you say San Francisco, when It will be you turn to think of a city, or until you give it up. when it will fce my turn to choose another one. If you can keep before your minds eye a picture of the United States, with the position of the many colors representing the states, you will find it of Immense service in locating the direction of the various cities.

Nowadays the construction of proper dipping tanks is well understood and there are numbers of effective dips upon the market which merely require the addition of water to make them ready for effective work either for the d struction of ticks or for the cure , scab. Of the dips referred to the most, easily prepared for use are those made from tar and of these may be cited the popular, economical and effective ones advertised in our columns. There has been a vast deal of discussion pro and con as to the merits and demerits of sulphur and lime concoctions, but the weight of testimony has in our opinion been clearly against the use of this combination which while fairly effective has the draw back of being highly detrimental to the wool. On the other hand there are many who claim with good reason that dips of the tar .product variety are a positive advantage to the wool in that they keep it soft and full of vigor and when used after shearing stimulate a rapid and healthy growth.
