APHENOMENAL A WELL.

Situated about four miles southwest O.
c,iptonville, Venango county, Pa, is vel
which, for volume Of production, surpassel
anvthingyet discovered IN that county. TIT
well was sunk by Messrs. NJ Brownson, E.
O Emerson, Perrin and Benson, and wal
completed upward Of month ago. No oil
was found, but an immense gas vein was
encountered at the place where the oil was
expected. Before abandoning the weu the
owners resolved to draw out the casing.
This was attempted in the usual way, but it
must be stated that the casing remains in
slatu quo, except that it stuck about foot
above it's former resting-place. AS 1t was
elevated to it's present position, the fresh
water from the upper portion of the hole
rushed into the well at the bottom of the
casing in great quantity. As it did so, the
pas took hold Of it and landed it on the sur
face Of the earth after sending it forty feet
above the top of the derrick. There, in
that condition, it continues to gush and
blow to this day, and msy for all time. It
is estimated that at least 1000 barrels OF
water are thrown out daily. It Is truly
a remarkable phenomenon.

FISHING FOls SHARKS.

We hauled in the blue beauties hand owe
hand, and in couple of hours caught eno',gl
for our purposes, and then beat up agains
a stiff northerly breeze to the shark ground
off Great Point We anchored in about eigh
fsthoms of water, with rapid tide ant
lively sea, and, as one Of the preliminaries
smpted overheard the bloody water from
he barrels. This, of course runs dowr
with the tide, and the sharks, scenting il
follow up like hounds until they reach the
boat.
The tackle used in taking these fish con
sists of long, three-quarter inch line, tc
which is attached fathom of chain to pre-.
vent them from biting il of, as they will
often do without this precaution; and to this,
in turn, is fastened quarter inch hook,
eighteen inches long and eight inches across
the bend. This, baited with blueAsh, ID
flung overheard and allowed to sink as deep
as the tideway will allow, and the boat end Of
the line made fast to something solid.
Wo waited narhsna An hour. when our
skipper, who momenJ before was uozlng
in the stern, made frantic leap In the air,
and failing to stop his line from running
rapidly overheard, called Justify for help.
Three of us laid hold with him, and slowly
hand over hand, hauled In. Now we could
see the sharks white belly flashing as he
turned on his side, involuntary ascent, and
then with gurgling roar he broke water
close to US. Now he would attack the boat,
his jaws swapping together like bear traps,
and leaving numberless teeth sticking in her
sides: then he would roll himself over and
over, biting savagely at the iron chain, but
soon we hauled him clos" aboard, when our
pilot, by repeated blows with club, soon
laid him stiff alongside.
Shark fishing cannot he called sport;
butchery is more proper name to apply.
Sword fishing is dangerous and consequent
~ exciting Shark fishing lacks one iota Of
danger; and the putting forth Of sufficient
strength to haul one to the surface, and then
to beat his head to jelly, can hardly be
exciting. The sand shark is most frequent !
ly taken here, although the blue dog or
man-eater, shovel-nose, hammerhead. and
river shark are also sometimes caught. The
fishermen try the oil from their ivers by
letting them stand in the sun; sell the jaws
to visitors and che bodies to farmers for
manure. I forgot to mention the dogash,
another of the family, although much in
ferlor in size to the others, rarely exceeding
three feet in length. They are caught for
their oil, and the ivers are also "sun-tried.'
They are fierce biters, two men often taking |
nearly thousand per day. A hook with
out barb is used, as they are ugly custom
ers to handle, being arr,ed with spike
near the tail, which they do not hesitate to
Strike into any one foolish enough to handle
them. Forest and Stream.

SECOND YOUTH.

t# ~" q -- - g ye cd
There Is an uncomfortable conyictio.
that when man arrives at the age of fort,
ne has seen his best days and that heno.
forth he must expect to go down the hill
Ihe same argument applies to women, onl,
much more imperatively. Injustice is don.
to both sexes by this method Of reasoning
The habit of thought which pronounces q
woman old at thirty-hve and man getting
old at forty-ave is very sickly and puerils
habit of thought, unless the parties thus crit.
icised and showed aside betray an imbeciIty
that justi6es the action. It often happens,
for instance, that man of forty has only
just begun to live, in the truest and best
sense of that term. Provided he has good
constitution to begin with and has not
irremediably injured himself by early ex-
cesses, he has now entered upon what, in
some respects, may justly be considered the
best part of life. True, youthful enthusi-
asm has in a great measure vanished, but in
its place he has that judgment which expe-
rienoe alone can give and which assures
him that enthusiasm is very dangerous
stimulant unless the cause in which it is en-
ployed is righteous. He is now in his Sec
ond youth, which, with prudence he can
prolong up to the period which is usually
called old age.
The same is practically true Of women,
though they have certain prsjudioes to con-
tend against. When woman reaches the
age of thirty three size is generally pro-
nounced to be on the border land which
forever precludes her laying any claims to
youth. This verdict is grossly unjust
Many woman of forty is at the most
charming period of her life. Who has not
met the fascinating woman of the world,
with whom, despite all her forty
years, one would rather talk and firt than
with the most brilliant Of crude beauties
yet in her teens. Generally you will not
find men of intellect subjugated by pretty
face and nothing more. Apretty face will
have it's devotees, of course, for beauty is
beauty, and the possession of a pair of eyes
that melt and fash by turns cannot be
lespised. But your young beauty is held
N bondage by certain notions Of primness
md propriety instilled by mamma. Your
,lder hearty. who has bruised her own
leart and' broken yooo lnauy o.uor,,
Knows perfectly well that portion Of her
Ittraction must reside in her intellect and |
he never presents you uwith mouotonous in
ipidity. At forty she may be said still to
70 in her second youth, and if she is very
lever and knows how to take care of it, she
nay even manage to preserve it up to fifty
n sixty.
