Encounter with a Sea Monster

Some fishermen of the coast of
Newfoundland recently had a curious
adventure with gigantic cutie fish.
Observing at short distance some
object floating on the surface of the
water, which they at first took to be
a large sail, osa portion of a wreck,
they rowed close to it, and one of
them struck it with his 'gaf.' Sud-
denly the mas. became animated,
and put itself in motion. From
among the folds a huge beak, as
large as six gallon keg, reared it
self, and a pair of ghastly green
eyes, staring and prominent, glared
on the terror-stricken men with an
expression of the most intense feroc-
ity. The bsak struck in the bottom
of the boat violently, and suddenly
from around the head two arms OF
crops-liks feshiness darted out. and
began winding themselves around
the boat, and encircling it in their
iivid folds. 4 moment more and
the boat would have been dragged
beneath the waves. But before the
suckers with which the arms are fur
nished had closed with their deadly
grip, one ofthe men seized q toma-
hawk which was fortunately at hand,
and severed both arms as they lay
over the gunwale Of the boat. The
monster Immediately elected an inn
mense quantity Of inky fluid, which
darkened the water for 200 or 500
yards, and moved off. Them saw
it for few minutes after, with its
tail out Of the water. The body they
estimated to have been 80 feet in
length and FIVE feet in diameter, or
Is feet in girth One Of the arms
was destroyed or lost, but the other
is at ST. Johns, in the hands of natu-
ralists. 1t measures nine feet in
length, and three and n hall feet in
circumference, and the men say they
left ten feet attached to the body of
the monster.

Fallen HAN and woman.

Man, sunk below his natural level
hates and affects to depise the height
where he has walked. Woman, fal
len from her fair estate, looks eveI
back to it with longing and regretfu
eyes. He proclaims himself not worse
than his fellows; endeavors to pull
those above down 20 his fiat. She
admits her fault; deplores it; is glad
there are women so much better and
more fortunate than she; strives to
have hope for the future, and listens
with bounding blood to every voice
that brings back to her the spotless
past. Never does she quite renounce
morality; humanity claims her to the
last. Miserable, down-trodden, who'll
ly forsaken, she looks up from the
dross and the mire and hears the
lark of her love still singing at the
gates of Heaven. - Juntus Henri
-Bro,cne.

A Novel Lottery.

Marriage is frequently mentioned
as lottery, and it certainly is lot
terv in a place called Holiandtown,
near Green Bay, Wisconsin. 1t
seems that there were twelve widow
ers in the place and eleven widows,
and that there marriage was advlsa-
bic Accordingly committee was
appointed to fix things. A report,
signed M Vandeberg, Secretary" )"
says that, thinking it economy to
have them married, and not knowing
how to pair them, committee was
selected to hold counsel as to the best
way of coupling" 1t took this COM
mittee the space of one hour to de-
eide as to the method. 1t was de-
cided to dispose of them by lot, and
consequently" says the report, "the
name of all the widows were placed
in n box, and likewise the names of
the widowersn The drawing took
place a. five O'Clock p. NJ Monday, the
Sth, at which time it was decided that
II. Mention shall marry Mrs. De-
Bruin.
NJ. Mention shall marry Mrs Wink.
Mr. Rode shall marry Mrs. Vande-
berg.

Kerten..
j. w. Wessenberg shall marry Mrs.

The twelfth widower, we learnfrom
the Green Bay AdcOcaie, is d. II.
Pentermann, and at present he is hap
py over his narrow escape; but the

means to supply him with q partner

iiow They Bnry the Dead in jana.

There is nothing that defines the
character. of any race better than
their religious Ideas and customs.
There are two religions, so to term
them, prevailing in Japan. and Of
very widely differing doetrins and
customs. The national religion is
called the Shintoo, but Buddhism is
even more the prevailing belief. The
Shintoos, for example, Of whom the
Mikado was the spiritual head
sort Of Pope-bury their dead in large
jars, and in sitting posture The
Buddhists burn their dead. The first
worship no idols; but the last have
huge images, which they devoutly
reverence. In one respect, however,
there is q curious resemblance, for
the Shintoos, if they omit idols, make
up for this, in part, by enormous foxes
of stone placed at the entrance to
their temples, this animal having
some sacred character in their wor-
ship A buddhist funeral and burial
is solemn, impressive, and full of ten
derness, in spite of its supcrstitious
features. White here takes the place
of our black as q mourning symbol
In the centre Of a buddhist cemetery
there is column or PEDESTAL, and
when burial is to occur, this sup
ports vessels Of burning incense and
profusion of flowers in elegant fash
ioned caskets. Incense is also burn
around the sides of the cemetery.

An Ingenious Contriyanee.

A bee raiser in New England is
said to have patented an invention
for the protection of bees from the at
tacks of the honey moth, which en-.
ters the hives at night aud rifles the
stores. The idea arose out of his ia.
miliarity with the daily routine not
of bees only, but of hens. Hens, be
observed, retired to rest early; bees
seek repose earlier still; no sooner
are they sunk in slumber than the
moth steals into their abode and de-
YOURS the produce of their toll He
has now built stand of hives with
g hen house above it. The bees first
betake themselves to their dwelling
and settle themselves for the night
The hens then come home to roost on
their perch, and, as they take their
place upon it, their weight sets some
simple mechanism to work, which at
once shuts down the doors of all the
hives. When the day dawns, how
ever, the hens leave their roost, and
the removal Of their weight from the
perch raises the hive doors and gives
egress to the bees in time for their
mornings work.

with considerable spirit, urging her
claims in public meetings, and com
( pletely refuting an argument on" gen

one declined to vote for her, and
wrote q letter explaining his reasons,

that as for Arthur's stockings they

And voices hll tho woodland side
Alas! how changed from the fair scene,
When birds sang cut their mellow hay,
