who was visiting them. Then the aunt
introduced him to her elder sister and

explained, but was as dear to them as
though she was their own mother
Then they all said in a general sort Of q

With might and main.

And big, hut oh!

" HOllerlng" Is a Big Help.

The Fun Of Shark Fishing.

WISH you had been here a few days
ago and gone out " sharkingn with us.
Gays a correspondent of the Springfield
(Mass) Republican, Eight went in q
whaleboat, and caught nine in about
two hours. We have great iron hooks
covered with small fish; eight feet of
chain are attached to the hook, and
then sixty feet of rope strong enough to
hold horse. We let the bait sink to
the bottom and wait in tranquility for
bite. BY and by there is a'gentle tug
at the hook, or sensation" as some
of our party called easy-slow-y
are not quite certain whether he is
there-you hold your breath-whisper
to your companions, Hush-pve got
onen' The shark starts off with the
bait, you let him run about a yard,
then with one mighty jerk fasten the
hook in his mouth, and haul in. That
is where the fun begins. If you ever
lived on a farm, tried to lead COW in
the road that was bound she wouldn't
go at all one minute, and then bound
to go both sides of the road at once,
then to go backward, and then to
climb trees-you can imagine what it is
to haul in a shark. You yell all the
time, you must yell; you can't help it.
You feel that if you don't yell, you
won't get the shark. Your compan-
ions begin to yell. Hand over hand
you tug in the line. You stop yelling
for a minute, and inch by inch the shark
takes the line out, he brings your hands
clean down to the gunwale. You rally,
brace your feet-give another yell.
Tho hn1FN f,Vrll fhaNy vail
they speak encouraging words to you.
and strain hand over hand while the crew
shout, Hang to himrn Whack go your
knuckles against the gunwales, but you
still hang and yell. just when you
feel as if you couldn't pull another
pound, his great ugly head comes in
sight. Then you give big yell, and
right in the midst of it the shark gives
iounce and pours a bucket of salt
water into your face and breast. You
grab the chain with both hands, lift his
head clean out of the water, and then
the brute plays he is an auger
and turns himself over and over, you
think, at the rate of forty times min
ute. Then you yell, in right down
earnest, "Hit him! hit him hit himn'
Meantime the crew are not idle.
Armed with clubs three feet long they
pound first his nose (his brains lie in
his nose), then the gunwale, then the
chain within four inches of your hand,
then his nose again. The shark stops
lodging for a moment--a few more
welts on his nose and he is ''deader." "
We get him aboard with hooks and
levers. Then you sit down and try TO
draw a long breath-perhaps you will
but l didn't. l concluded one was
enough for me, and in the future
would help yell. In the evening

question came up of the divine care OF

Drinking Impure Water.

Set pitcher of ice-water in a
room inhabited, and in few hours 1t
will have absorbed from the room
much OF the respired and perspired
gasses and the air of the room Will
have become purer, but the water
will be perfectly filthy. This de-
ponds on the tact that the water has
the faculty OF condensing and there
by absorbing ali the gasses, which 1T
does without increasing its own bulk.
The colder the water is, the greater
its capacity TO contain these gases.
AT ordinary temperature a pint OF
water will contain a pint OF carbonlc
acid gas, and several pints OF ammo
MIA This capacity is nearly doub'
led by reducing the temperature to
that Of ice. Hence, water kept in
the room awhile is always unit tor
use, and should often be renewed
whether it has become warm or not
And for the same reason, the water
in a pump stock should all be
pumped out in the morning before
any is used. That which has stood
