JtMM. HIS ' trlrt!v mmmwrfal t rp business of shark hunting f! I O Is done in small sloops, 4 X whose headquarters are In tWOT the more northerly Norwe gian ports. The crew are for the most part made up of pure-blooded eseendants of the Vikings, who arc still to be found' ia any number among xhe cod-flshers , f Hammerfest and Yromso. And a magnificent race of men they are! Accustomed from boy hood to, a life of hardship, they have a "way of treating Father Neptune with slightly : conteniptuous toleration, like an old friend of somowhat uncer tain temper, -i whose rapid changes from smfllnf rutiAwilivn i mrllrt blustering, anger are , on tbi whole rather amusing than otherwise. They care nothing for danger, and little for suffering In themselves or In others. Why, then,""should they stop to think that perhaps a maimed, but still living, shark can feel? The fishing is done oft the coast of Iceland in about eighty fathoms of water. Three or four gallows-Iiko structures are rigged up around the sides of the sloop, and from each of these hangs a pulley-block, over which runs a strong rope; and to the end of this the baited hook is fastened. A plentiful supply of ground-bait Is thrown out to attract the quarry, and uch is the eagerness with which the sharks take the bait, that sometimes each one of these gallows-like fishing- rods will have it fish hooked and fight lng for life, all at tha same. time. There is no "playing" the fish; it Is not necessary or possible, and the pow erf ul tackle is hardly likely to break, no matter how fiercely the hooked shark may struggle. But the shark is not, for his size, a game fish; and, ex cept when he is actually being hoisted np out of the water, there is no very serious strain on the tackle. If he does now and then getj away, titis not.be- cause he ever manages to break the line, but because a Jlghtly fixed . hook . easily tears through .the. soft cartilagi nous' skeleton oriils head, and so sets kim free. . . IA.B soon as? a shark has taken one of the baits, the hauling tackle attached to his particular gallows Is manned, and .without any superfious fuss or ceremony ue is uamea up 10 me sioop, and hoisted just clear of the water. He is not brought on board at all, but with a few bold slashes his liver is cut out as he hangs, and is thrown into a tub, to be further dealt with later. Then his eyes are put out, and he is cut adrift to go and complete the tardy process of dying where and how he pleases. jx w lute buuuus verjr injiriuic, uui there is one curious fact which goes far Ill il.l- - . - - I. II. t - . V... , to make us believe that this death can not, after all, be such a cruel one as at first appears. It is this: the fishermen say that, unless they put out the shark's eyes, he will afterward cause them, a lot of trouble, ;by coming and taking the bait a second time. , It sounds incredible; but the state ment is thoroughly well authenticated by eye-witnesses, who have seen a liverless shark do just this very thing. Scientists, doubtless, are right in say ing that the, shark (which by anatomi cal classification is one of the lowest of fishes) does not feel pain la the way more highly organized animals feel It We will cling to that belief; for it is consoling to us, if not to the shark, who is thus sacrificed that his liver may supply us with what?. It is a secret not to be spoken aloud. Norway is one of the great centres of the cod trade, and from cod is made cod-liver oil, and shark-liver oil tastes and looks exactly like it Pearson's Magazine. FAIR EXCHANGE. Indian nature was about the same In 1S76 as It was ia 1804, says the au thor of "The Trail of Lewis and Clark." In illustration of this he tells of a time when Lewis and Clark, on their Journey of exploration toward the Northwest, found that their stock of merchantable property was exhaust ed, and they created a new fund by cutting off the buttons from their clothes, and adding vials and small tin boxes to their stores. With this mer chandise two men went out on a trad ing expedition and returned to camp laden with roots and other provisions,. Their experience recalls a certain one of my own, writes Mr. Wheeler. Late in the fall of 1S76 J. H. Renshawe, now of the United States Geographical Survey, and I, with a topographic party, were slowly making our way down Meadow Valley Wash, in south eastern Nevada, Misfortune had been our constant companion, and as we reached the banks of Muddy 'Creek, a beautiful, clear, cold stream, one noon, we were rather a gloomy set of men. We were a- month behind time, our horses were almost exhausted, all our horse feed was gone, the grazing was .worthless, we were out of money, and there was no way to get more. We felt that we. were in rather a serious plight Soon after we camped a Piute In dian appeared, and within a few min utes several more came to camp. , We eodn found that they had a store of barley and corn, and an exchange was quickly effected for certain surplus provisions that we had, and the poor horses had a full meal. '" - IT"'" When the beans and sugar were ex hausted, the Indians Intimated that an. old hat or coat would be acceptable for barter. This suggested a new line en tirely, and to; make a long story short, wn bargained off all our old garments for shelled corn and barley, until final ly we had six or eight hundred pounds of splendid gram on our wagon. Two revolvers were sold outright for pro clous silver dollars; and a mouth-organ, or cheap harmonica, was "great medi cine," and brought splendid returns. When wo were done the Indians quietly withdrew, leaving us rich and cheerful. At first, thought, such bartering seems one-sided and inequitable, but it is not so. What was of value or in terest to the Indian may have been valueless tp its white owner, and vice versa. To the child a Juinping-Jaek la a precious possession, and . the In dian was, and is yet in many respects, an overgrown child. TRANSFERRING THE FLAG. In the Battle of Lake Erie, in 1813, when Commodore Perry defeated the British and captured their entire fleet, the flagship Lawrence was shattered by the guns of the English, and Com modore Perry was obliged to transfer his flag to the Niagara. In "Commo dore Oliver Hazard Perry," the author refers to this transfer as "the sub liniest passage in the ople of Erie." From , the masthead of , the helpless Lawrence the big blue burgee, the white-lettered bugle-call upon an azure field, had come fluttering down. The pennant followed, but the Stars and Stripes remained. It was not then a surrender, as the enemy had thought What was it? The next moment fur nished a reply, for out from under the lee of the battered hulk darted a small boat, propelled by oars in the hands of brawny seamen, straight for the passing Niagara. Erect in the stern stood a splendid, stalwart figure, the folds of the big blue burgee and the pennant draped over the broad shoul ders, the face still calmly impassive, the , eyes smoldering. Commodore Perry was transferring the flag. - . .... Half-surrounded as it, was by- the enemy's ships, the boat swept on through a perfect roaring- tornado, the commander, still strangely impassive, erect In the stern. Perry's young brother pleaded with the Commodore to sit down, but he seemed oblivious. Finally his oarsmen, fearful for his safety, flatly refused to row longer un lessjhe sat down, when he complied. The men then redoubled their efforts, speeding, toward the now waiting Ni agara. The storm from the British gunsVif possible, grew in violence; the oars were splintered by musket balls. As by a miracle, the small craft's ten ants escaped unscathed. A round shot finally came tearing through the boat's, side. In a trice Perry -had 'slipped off the pauleted coat of his rank, the garment he had donned on leaving the Lawrence's deck, and stopped the hole with it. The boat reaehed the side of the Niagara in safety, a quarter of an hour after leaving the Lawrence. OLD-FASHIONED BEAR HUNT. The othei day information was brought to the Traffic Superintendent of the Muar State Railway that bears were destroying the cocoanut trees near the fourth mile on the railway at a kampong called Parit Bakar. They climb to the top of a young tree and with their powerful claws tear away the young leaves and then proceed to devour the inside of the tree, called the cabbage. Mr. L. went to the scene on his hand car, armed with a Snider carbine. A young bear suddenly 'dashed out close to one of the Javanese and he slashed at it with his parang. The blow enraged the bear and it "went for" the Javanese, who-climbed the nearest tree. The bear proeedeed to follow him up the tree. Mr. L. was taking aim at the bear when, as he thought, one of his men shook him by the shoulder. Mr. L. told his disturber to "get out." He felt himself being pulled about rather roughly and on looking over his shoulder was astonished to see a huge bear with one big paw on each of his shoulders and its gaping mouth almost touching his neck. It was Impossible to use the rifle, and Mr. L. drew his hunting knife and plunged it into the side of the bear, just under the shoul der. The blade penetrated the brute's heart, and it rolled over, endeavoring to tear out the knife. The Malays and Javanese ran up and slashed the bear until life was extinct In the mean time the first bear was still climbing up after the Javanese. In his- terror- the Javanese dropped right on top of the bear. This fright ened the animal and it bolted through the scrub and was not seen again. Singapore Straits Budget BOY SAVES BANK. After fastening the doors of near-by houses by setting heavy eye-screws in the door frames and fastening the door knobs to them with ropes, eight rob bers attacked the front door of the Traders' Bank, of Bridgeburg, a village on the Canadian side of the Niagara River, opposite Buffalo, with a batter ing ram, early on a recent morning. Ralph C. Young, eighteen years old, was the only person in the bank. Armed with a revolver, he went to an upper window and opened fire. - The thieves replied with revolvers and shot guns, some of the gang meanwhile con tinuing the work with the battering ra . With his face streaming with blood from shattered glass and splinters of wood, Young kept up the fight for twenty minutes. The stout oak doors resisted all the efforts to break them down, and, alarmed by a shot fired from up the street by an aroused vii lager, the thieves "fled. Younger Children.... THE WISE MAN. A man who was extremely wise Said, "To-morrow the sun will rise." He said the same thing every night. And every day proved he was right." When people saw his words were true. They wondered greatly how he knew. He aid to all his friends, "I hear We'll have some rain within a year." And sure enough, it came about, And rained before the year was out. And then they said, "How very strange That he can make the weather change'." He gave his friends a candy treat, And said, "Pm sure you'll find it sweet." They ate a little, found it so, And said to him, "How did you know? It's very sweet, as you have said. How can you taste so far ahead?" He said, "I cannot swim, and think If I jump in I'll surely sink." He jumped, and as he could not swim, It was the last they saw of him; And as he sank far out of sight, They said, "That proves that he was right." Youth's Ccmpanion. THE SHRIKE OR BUTCHER BIRD. There is a strange little bird, about as big as a robin, which nearly every winter brings us. He is generally aloue, like a tiny black'and gray hawk in many of his ways, but related truly to the gentle vlreos and waxwings. He is the northern shrike, or butcher bird, and he gets a cruel living by catching mice and little birds, which he hangs on locust thorns, sharp twigs or the points of a wire fence, as his little feet unlike the hawk's, are not strong enough to hold his prey. But he is a handsome fellow, and rarely one may hear a very sweet little song as he sits on the top of some leafless bush, particularly late in the winter. But generally he is silent, like the true birds of prey, or at best gives only a rasping squeal. St. Nicholas. "HONEST ABE." It is ft significant fact that in a com munity where crime was virtually un known, where plain, straightforward dealing was assumed as a matter of course, and credit was- f aarltssly asked and given, Lincoln 1 won an enviable reputation for integrity and honor. In a moral atmosphere of this sort or dinary veracity and fairness attracted no particular attention. Honesty was not merely the best policy; it was the rate of life, and people were expected to be upright and just with one an other. But when a clerk in a country store walked- miles to . deliver a few ounces of tea innocently withheld from a customer by an error in the scales, and wheu he made a long, hard trip In order to return a few cents accidentally overpaid him, he was talked about, and the fact is that "honest Abe" was a tribute, not a nicknameCentury A HOME-MADE ZOO. Most small girls enjoy nothing bet ter than a visit to the zoo. The tigers pacing restlessly back and forth with velvety footsteps, the monkeys play ing all sorts of fantastic tricks, the kangaroos and the rest, are unceasing objects of delight. But a great many girls are unable to visit the zoo very frequently, and such will be glad to know how to make a zoo of their own which they may see as much as they like. First of all, get a number of sheets of cardboard of the same size. They should be a little larger than the larg est animal you are to have in your menagerie, and, for a few cents, you can get them cut at a printing office just the same size and with smooth edges. The next thing to do is to draw the outline of the cage. Four straight lines will do it two horizontal and two perpendicular. For the smaller animals you can put four and'even six cages on a sheet. And then you must draw just so many dividing lines. The animals for your menagerie you will find anywhere and everywhere. Old magazines and papers, tattered picture books, advertisements, will all supply you. The animals' should be cut out carefully and placed in their cages. After they are in place draw the bars. These should be drawn very carefully with the help of a ruler, for imagine the consternation in doll land if a ferocious tiger should squeeze through between a pair of shaky bars and make its escape! Besides the animals commonly found in menageries, the home-made zoo may contain some remarkable specimens never seen on land or sea. Fierce dragons, unicorns like . the one in Mother Goose who fought with the Hon for the crown, and other queer, grotesque creatures may look out from behind the bars along with the giraffes and ostriches. When not in use the home-made zoo may be put away in a pasteboard box, and takes up very little room. But sometimes when the day is stormy and outdoor fun impossible, you will enjoy arranging thr cages along the walls of the play-room, and taking the doll fam ily for a visit to the zoo. Alice L. Weed, in the Progressive Farmer. "NOW-AND-READY." ' Rhoda's father used to call her little "Now-and-Ready," because she was so fond of having and of doing things "right this very minute."' When the grown people planned along in January where they would go for the next sum mer vacation, Rhoda would lay out the big doll's travelling suit and say, "Oh. please lefs go away in July now." And if anybody mentioned Christmas, even though the garden Were over flowing, with roses, she was pretty sure to beg, "Why can't we go after holly wreaths right this very minute?" One Saturday Rhoda went with her mother to help straighten up the attic. They looked all through the cedar chest where the funny baby dresse were, and shook out little Great-aunt Amy's short-sleeved sprigged muslin. Then over in a dark corner Rhoda spied a basket with a handle going over the middle like a high bridge, and a cover whicL opened on each side. "It's hen eggs," gaid Rhoda. "No, it Isn't hen eggs; it's qulltpicces. They belonged to my sister " "That's my Aunt Rhoda. 1 1 know her. She lives in the country, and brings sausage and apples when she comes to see us." "Yes," said mother. "And once, a long time ago, there was to be a great fair in the town that was nearest to us. Our mother thought it would be a very nice thing for Rhoda to piece a quilt to put in the fair, while I was to bake some bread. Your poor Aunt Rhoda worked and worked; but there wero so many butterflies to chase that summer, and the plum thicket was so lovely to crawl through, that somehow September came round and found the quilt just half-done. So when you were a little baby, and we began to call you Rhoda, your aunt sent you the quilt pieces, and hoped that some dajvypu would finish the big quilt." "To send Aunt Rhoda for a Christ mas present-bright now, to-day?" asked Rhoda. her fingers fairly aching to pull out all the stacks of gay calico pieces and begin at once, v But mother shook her head. "Not yet, little daughter, not yet a while," she said. But she took out some of the pieces and showed Rhoda how they went to gether four of the littlest squares to make one big one, next to that a. big pink one, and then four more little ones to make a big one. "Did you make your bread, mother?"' the little girl asked, as they closed the basket and started down-stairs., "No, that was the queer part of it. When the fair-time came Rhoda and I both had what do you think? Mumps! And I couldn't cook. So poor grandma had nothing to show how clsver her daughters were." After dinner Rhoda disappeared, and mother was too busy to notice until Rhoda's father came home. Nobody knew, where she was, so he started out to hunt or her. Father was troubled, and a3 soon as he was troubled mother begp.n to worry,, and when mother worried Law rence got scared, and the baby stopped laughing, and cried instead. "I'll get the lantern," said father, and started to the attic three step? at a time, with a lighted candle in hia hand. In a minute they heard him five a shout, and his voice sounded so happy that they both ran after him, as many steps at a time as they possibly could. When they got there father was just gathering a bundle from the floor Into his arms, and the candle was shining right on two fast-shut eyes and a head of tousled curls. AH about were scat tered quilt pieces, big and little, and Rhoda opened her eyes long enough to say. sleepily. "I most made Aunt Rhoda's quilt right this very minute And sure enough, when mother ex amlned closely, she found that little "Now-and-Ready"; had sewed ia the one afternoon nearly as much, as the other Rhoda years ago had done in the whole long summer. It was not Christ mas when the big quilt was sent away. all finished and packed neatly in white tissue-paper and . with a little sachet bag it, was the twentieth day of No vember, just two weeks after it waa taken out of the basket Augusta Kortrecht, in Youth's Companion. Teaching Him to Be Honest, Fifteen or twenty years ago Bill 3mith was a well known character in a Missouri town whoso name need not be mentioned here. Bill was a col ored boy who roamed the streets at will. One day he found a pocketbook containing $40, and the owner's name was stamped on the book. . But Bill burned the pocketbook and spent the $il in riotous living. Of course it was found out and Bill was arrested, tried and found guilty, and sent to the pen itentiary for two years. He served his time, and when he emerged he knew something about making shoes. The day he returned to his home town an old acquaintance met him and asked: " i -Well, what did they put you at in the prison, Bill?" Dey started to make an honest boy out'a me, sah.l . 'That's good, Bill, and I hope they succeeded." ; ' - "Ded did, sab," "And how did they teach you to be honest, Bill?"
