From 1631 to 1834 times were good, food was cheap; and the marriaze rate In Maaaachoeetta went op to 24 per 1.000. Between 1833 and 1839 there was great depression of trade, and in 1833 the marriage rate went down to 17 per 1.000.- The jeara from 1873 to 1879 form another period of depression. Factories were closed and mannfactarrrs cf erery kind suffered severel. In cue year, at least, crops were abort and the prices of food were high. The result was Immediately seen in matrimony.

They quite believed that the white men ate white men as they themselves eat ineir fellow blacks. A big chief offered Mr. McCann the smoked thigh of a native. This was considered a gracious act. To refriAfl it would be unfriendly. Mr. Mc Cann was in a dilemma. Tint he feigned illness, said he was not eating just then.

When a school of menhaden make their way Into a bay, they may stay for days swimming around in one re gion. Larger fishes, including perhaps some sharks, feed upon them there. From such feeding there are more or less fragments that sink down through the water, and the various crabs and other crustaceans come scuttling from all parts of the bay to get them. It mav be that the tide carries some of the litter about, cr perhaps the crabs and other creatures smell it. as bluefi&h scent the bait that is used in churn ming. but when a school of menhaden are tireved upon at the surface all the crabs in the bay congregate on the mud below to catch the crumbs that falL Kew York Son.

The cowardliness of sharks is well known among men who have been much to sea in southern waters infested by man eaters. The fiercest shark will get out of the eea way in a very great hurry if the awimmer, noticing its ap- proach. sets up a noisy splashing.
