SOMETHING ABOUT SHARKs.-They have
a great deal of fun on the coast of Florida
with sharks. Ashark will swallow anything
that is thrown to him, like politician.
People go out on excursions, armed with
small alarm clocks as bi gas base ball, and
throw them to the sharks which sport about
the boat, looking for somethingto eat. The
shark swallows the alarm clock, which is
set to go off few minutes later. Pretty
soon the alarm strikes, and as it gets in its
work the shark begins to founder around,
looking scared, trying to throwup the clock,
and he turns pale and says his snow 1 lay
me-" all the time jumping out of the water
and begging to be forgiven, the people on
the boat laugh until their sides ache. 1t is
rough on the shark at first, but we under
stand some of the sharks get to like it, and
many have been known to flop out on the
shore and go to jewelry store and ask for
a key to wind up the clock that is in them.
This last may seem like fish story, but we
got it from witness in the Star-route trial,
and it seems as though it ought to be true.

All that Remains OF Fort Dearborn.

Mr.. EditOr:-Althongh I had crossed
and re-crossed the Chicago River at the
Crush street bridge repeatedly, it was by
accident my eye caught sight of marble
tablet inserted in the end of building,
built on the site of Fort Dearborn, that
contained this inscription, and which a
pile Of lumber temporarily concealed:
''This building occupies the site of Old
Fort Dearborn, which extended a little
across Michigan Avenue and somewhat into
the river as it now is. The Fort was built
in 1904, forming our outmost defences.
By order of Gen. Hull, it was evacuated
on August 10Th, 1912, after its stores and
provisions had been distributed among the
Indians Very soon after the Indians at
tackled and massacred about so of the
| troops, and a number of citizens in
cluding women and children, and next day
burned the Fort. January, 1916, it was re-
built, but after the Black Hawk war, ii
went into gradual disuse, and in May,
| 1887, was abandoned by the army, but was
occupied by various Government officers
until 1857, when it was torn down, except
a single building, which stood upon this
site till the great fire of October 9th, 1871.
At the suggestion of the Chicago Histori.

A BIRDS APPETITE.-The appetite of
the bird is wonderful. A thrush will eat at
meal the largest snail that England pro-
duces. If man could eat in proportion
he would consume whole round of beef
for his dinner. The redbreast, again, is a
most voracious bird. 1t has been calculated
that to keep redbreast up to his normal
weight an amount of animal food is re-
quired daily equal to an earth worm four
teen feet in length. Taking man of av-
erage weight, and measuring bulk for bulk
with the redbreast, l tried to calculate how
much food he wonld consume in twenty
four hours if he ate as much in proportion
as the bird. Assuming sausage nine
inches in circumference as fair equivalent
of the earth worm, l find that the man
would have to eat sixty-seven feet of such
sausage to every twent-four hours. men
ton this in order to illustrate the amount
of work which is done by insect-eating
birds. GOOD Words.

ON THE BEACH.

drank with her tue wine of life
Beside the ocean beach;
The merry throng pressed slowly on
Along the sandy reach;
White specks of sails, far out at sea,
Swept down the distance dim,
And oceans ceaseless monotone
Chanted vesper hymn.
The sky was blue; the air was filled
Vita lifes ambrosial wine;
And sweet blue eyes meath dropping lids
Looked lovingly in mine.
A beauty rested on the sea.
A glory on the shore,
And softened by the distance, came
The music of the oar.
Far out at sea, little cloud,
No larger than the hand,
Came up, and gathered strength and grew
And darkened all the land.
The crowd dispersed; we followed not
The terror-stricken flock;
But close 1 drew her to my side
Beneath sLeltering rock.
And then, the lightning flashing past,
The thunder in our ears,
told her all my love for her
My hopes, my doubts, my fears.
Oh, blessed hour! her lips met mine!
We heard no wailing blast;
The sun broke forth with light divine;
The storm was over-past!
A glory shone on land and sea,
A light unseen before,
AS slowly we retraced our way
Along the golden shore.
All, well am an old man now,
Yet, with affection proud,
Safe in each others love we hide
From every threat'ning cloud!

FLIES WHICH INJURE ToMAToEs.-The
small flea beetle and also several transpar-
ent-winged flies injure the foliage of toma-
toes. There is also a very small grub,
which is believed to be the larva of some
of these flies, which devour the roots. The
remedy for these is to sprinkle tobacco
water upon the leaves and also plentifully
upon the ground near the stems of the
plants. Fine air-slacked lime spread about
the roots is also remedy against these lit
tie pests. Strong tobacco water or infusion
of red pepper will drive off the large green
tomato worm; strong alum solution or So
luton of saltpetre have also been used as
remedies,

THE DAYS LONG AGO.

The grain was cut and bound
In waiting sheaves.
We paced the harvest-ground,
Mid drifted leaves,
And watched the suns last glow
Just you and l.
In the days long ago
The days gone by.
We talked, as lovers will,
Ofhope and bliss,
And made our pauses thrill
With kiss for kiss
How should our young hearts know
That love can die?
In the days long ago.
The days gone by.
All, me! watched the grain
Bound yesterday,
And saw, along the lane,
Two lovers stray
With whispers soft and low,
AS you and
strayed. in days long ago
The days gone byi
l blessed them, as stood,
The happy pair
To whom Love seemed all good,
And life all fair.
My tears-they could but flow
Ask me not why!
