Something About Boys.

A wide awake boy is always fruitful
subject for newspaper talk. The
Haa0keye man has this to say on the
subject, and we admit that there is
much of the real boy about it:
An exchange says a boy will tramp
two hundred and forty-seven miles in
one day on a rabbit hunt and be timber
in the evening; when, if you ask him to
go across the street and borrow Mr..
Jones' two-inch anger, he will be as
And he will go swimming all day and
stay in the water three hours at time,
and splash and dive and paddle and
puff, and next morning hewill feel that
an unmeasured insult has been offered
him when his mothertells him to wash
his face carefully so as not to leave the
score of the ebb and flow SO plain as to
be seen under the gills. And he'll wan
der around a dry creek bed all the af-
ternoon piling up a pebble fort, and
nearly die off when his big sister wants
him to please pick up basket of chips
for the parlor stove; and he'll spend
the biggest part of the day trying to
corner a stray mule or a bald-backed
horse for a ride; and feel that all life's
charms have fled when it comes time to
drive the cows home; and he'll turn a
ten-acre lot upside down for ten inches
of angle worms, and wish for the voice
less tomb when the garden demands
his attention. But'all the same, when
you want friend who will stand by
you and sympathize with you, and be
true to you in all kinds of weather, en-
list one of the small boys.

lowed by a Shark:
[Corr. Albany (Ga.) News.I

Heading across the bay to st. Sim
mons light the man in charge of the
wheel hailed Mr.. Tiff and directed his
attention to something ahead ofus. The
object turned out to be sharks fin, SO
large as to bea matter of wonder to the
sailors aboard. The boat happened to
be provided with shark line-a manila
cord about a half inch thick, with a
large hook tied to a trace-chain. A
small piece of beef was quickly put on
the hook, float put on the line and
then cast out, and then the line made
fast to the capstan. As we neared the
fish the fin disappeared and all eagerly
watched the float. Suddenly the line
frightened, the float disappeared
and the Roadway of the boat was
checked and the man at the capstan
yelled out:
"He's hooked!"
have been fishing, but I never saw
the like of that. The fellow rose to
the surface OF the wave and looked at
us. He had about rs yards of line
out by this time, and actually in a Sec
ond he made a rush snd jumped clear
over the bow of the steamer. The Ia
dies then got under shelter and all
hands helped to hold that line. The
fellow, when he failed to eat us up,
made for the ocean and fairly made the
waters foam. After about miles run
he began to tire, and the boat was head
ed for the beach OH Jekel island. Grad
ually we pulled in the line until the
boat touched the beach and then one
of the hands waded ashore, taking the
end of the line with him, which he
made fast to stump, and came back
for help. Four of us got on shore and
commenced to phil Mr.. Shark ashore.
1t took all we could do, and two rifle
balls to boot, to land him. When 1 tell
YOU that he measured seventeen feet
ten and a half inches from tip to tip,
YOU will know what a job we had. We
were determined to prove that we
caught this shark, so We gave two ne
groes "a to cut him open and get his
head of so that we could get his Jaw
over home. His teeth are wonderful,
being about three and a quarter inches
long, and so strong that he actually nat
tened out the big iron hook. The ne
groes made quite q prize. In his
stomach they found eleven Mexican
dollars and one Spanish dubloon, gold,
and a whole lot Of brass buttons.

self, "too late J" as IL she had fallen into
heart'rending stupor.
Suddenly the poor woman rose
slowly from the chair where she sat by
the death. bed, and after walking up
and staring NJ me, gave a hollow cry
which thrilled me TO the marrow OF my
bones. -,
at is only right that you should
know what you have TO answer for,
she said. "That is your work. You
can be proud of it; it has been com
plete success"
She laughed uildly-it was more Q
mingling of laughing and crying-and
looked ut me.
ale was my husband" she went on,
after awhile. "We lived apart; why
and wherefore is nothing TO you. For
three years l heard nothing of him.
During this time l lived out as gov
erness, and earned that money which
you hold in your hand. May God for
give you fer what you have done!"
Here she had q severe fit of cough
ing, and wi en- she took the handker-
chief from her mouth it was wet with
fresh blood. The hectic flush on her
cheeks burned deeper than before, and
l could plainly see that she had not
much longer to live in this world.
AT last he found me" she continued
weakly, "and wrote, begging me to
come to him. l came. He lived in
this hole in sickness and poverty. Had
1 not lost my gold then, 1 would have
taken him away, and cared well for
him. He died of hunger. We have
had no food for the last three days, aud
there is no other fate for me but to fol-
low him. Oh, you have done a manly
deedl Look there-your work !"
She drew cloth from the face of the
corpse it looked almost a skeleton, and
the sorrow of the sight overpowered
her. She threw hers, If over it, and
sobbed violently. This emotion brought
on another fit of coughing, with q
f1ightful torrent of blood, during which
she expired. Her disease had gone too
far for her to survive the shock of her
husbands death, and if she could not
die in his arms, she died by his side.
Terrified, I spread the sheet over
the two dead forms, and hurried to call
the landlady. I still held the gold in
my hand. 1t seemed to burn like fire,
and would have hurled it from me if
had not a duty to fulfill. The land
lady was very indifferent about the fate
of the unfortunate pair. She merely
said that nothing different had been
expected, but she was much pleased
when L asked what they owed, and pro-
ceeded to pay her. ..
Iwent to an undertaken and arranged

couple united in death. could not
and would not seek for their friends
and relatives to draw suspicion upon
myself.
It was now clear to me why the adj
vertisement for the loss of the money
but once. The poor souls
had not the means to pay for repeti-
ton.
I followed the collins to the grave.
No stone marks it, but L know it well,
and it often follows me in my dreams.
The very same day I drove to the
hospital for consumptives, and put the
rest of the bag of gold in the collection

hunger than have kept a penny.

A Cycle Of Earthquakes.
New York SUM-

The recent terrible earthquake in
Costa Rica recalls again the fact that
we are now witnessing one of the most
remarkable periods of terrestrial dis.
turbances that has ever been recorded,
The fact that we hear of so many
minor earthquakes, mere trembling
and shaking which cause more or less
alarm without doing much damage.
may be owing to the system of obser.
walton that has recently been adopted.
The study of earthquake phenomena
as special branch of science is com.
paratively new, and the men who have
established what may be described as
earthquake observatories, or rather
observing stations, at various points on
the globe do not allow any tremor of
the ground, however slight, to go un.
noticed.
But besides the many slight shocks
that have been felt in almost every
country, there have been, within year
or two, several destructive earthquakes,
the like of which the world, fortunately,
does not frequently see. In Novem-
Der, 1880, occurred the great earth.
quake shock at Agram. About year
ago, in this same month. Casamicciola
was destroyed. A month later followed
the still more terrible disaster at Chios.
Shocks of less intensity were felt at
times at both Agram and Chios during
the whole of last year, and the dis
turbance has not even yet ceased alto
gether.
1t was hardly to be expected that
the Central American countries, crowd
ed with volcanoes and forming one OF
the great centers of earthquake COM
motion, would escape a shaking, and
the recent disaster in Costa RIGA IS,
therefore, not a matter of surprise.
More than year ago there was evl-
dence of the struggle of internal forces
in that region when the surprising phe,
nomenon of small volcano bursting out
of the middle of lake was witnessed
at Ilopango, in San Salvador.
Disastrous shocks have, withlR the
last two years, been experienced IN
two or three of the principal eartn'
quake regions of the globe-nameiy'
the Mediterranean region and the mar
row waist of the Western Continent
In the East Indies there has been no
great disaster within this time, put
further north, in the interior or China,

dercd rs they can MI for the next six
months or more. This applies especially
70 the machinc-shops and iron-found.
ers. Housc-builders and contractors OF
almost all kinds are kept busy. There
have been fewer mechanics In Richmond
idle In the past two years than was
ever before known In its history. All who
desire employment can easily secure 1t at
fairly remunerative wages. The opening
OF the Richmond and Allegheny railroad
and the prospect OF the construction OF
several new lines OF railways through the
remote parts OF the southwestern part OF
the State are attracting the attention OF
northern and foreign capitalists TO the MI
ming advantages possessed by the portions
Of the State pierced, or expected to be, by
those roads. Despite the great disadvan-
tagcs under which Virginia has for years
hbored by being controlled by political
party opposed to the payment of her financial
obligations, more capital has been attracted
to and invested in this State In the past
three years than ever known before. The
reduction by the last Legislature OF the rate
OF taxation from fifty cents to forty on the
slOO, and the fact that the debt question
has been practically remanded to the Fede-
raj Supreme Court will greatly tend 10 add
TO the attractiveness Of Virginia to outside
capitalists. This is already beginning to be
felt and the interest In new enterprises
greatly increased. Upon the whole, the
business outlook In Virginia Is unusually
promising, and better feeling exists than
known for many years.
