Some Shark Stories.

sTd just as soon try to swim a lake
Of red hot pitch as to swim over from
Pensacola to Fort Pickens," said an
old pilot. 'There are not so many ac-
cidents on record there, because people
know the dangers and look out for
them, but 1 know at least half dozen
cases. The last one happened last
summer. A vessel came in port for a
load Of lumber and the captains boy,
quite good sized lad, in foollng about
the rigging, fell overheard. The men
heard a scream, and rushed to the rail,
but the only sign they saw was red
cloud in the waters. They got out the
boat and finally recovered the body,
but the head and limbs were gone.
Another time a soldier tried to desert
from the fort and was eaten by sharks.
You see the brutes follow vessels IN
from off shore and get in the habit Of
swallowing everything that comes
along, and when man goes over they
rush for the splash. I've seen 'em
moving around on the bottom like a
drove Of hogs. They generally swim

slowly when not chased, but they can
work up tremendous race when they
are chased, and I've seen one jump
twenty feet into the air. To show you
how hard they can bite," said the
pilot 81 have seen one take a piece
out Of an oar. Another that was
hauled alongside of small boat took
the cutwater in its mouth, and nearly
crushed it to jelly, leaving twenty or
thirty teeth in the wood. Some time
ago a Spanish gunboat dropped in
there, and the officers amused them
selves shark fishing, They had quite
a circus. They would take a small
dynamite cartridge, bind piece of
salt pork to it, and fix it to float and
wire. and send it two hundred feet
astern. Pretty soon a shark would
take it, and they would FIRE by wire
and the fish would fly into thousand
pieces. If one was wounded the 9TH
ers went for him and ate him up

disappeared from one spot before il
moves on to another. .faT.i .
In conclusion, q word or two may
be added with reference to the cause OF
cholera, which the German commiss-
ion headed by DR.. Koch, and lately at
work in Egypt and India, has estab-
lished is due 10 bacillus resembling
others previously known. This is not
exactly new discovery, atheory some
what like it having been propounded
so long ago as 1881 by leading ply
sician of Berlin, DR.. Becker. 1t is
now, however, accepted as conclusive,
whereas heretofore 1t has rested on
little more than conjecture. u, .,a,-

Buttermilk as q Drink.

In warm summer weather many
persons feel an irresistible craving for
something sour, and often crafty this
desire by a>free indulgence in pickles,
or vegetables made with vinegar.
This demand for acids indicates de-
,ficiency in the acid secretions of the
stomach, and the demand for an arti-
fetal supply is natural one; but vim
egar is not the best substitute. Lac
tic acid is one of the chief agents that
give acidity to the gastric juice Of the
stomach in health. This is the acid
of sour milk, and therefore one of the
best summer diet drinks that we can
use in buttermilk. 1t satisfies the
cravings for acid by giving to the
stomach a natural supply, and at the
same time furnishing in its cheesy
matter a good supply of wholesome
nutrition. A man will endure fatigue
in hot weather better on buttermilk
than on any diet drink he can use.

BOATS, BYcycles and Hay Fewer.

With the opening of the season OF
outdoor sports comes the time of trou-
BILE for the poor victims of Hay Fever.
For them flowers have no odor, and the
summer little or no beauty. To snuff,
sneeze and wipe their weeping eyes for
three or four successive months:--this
is their pitiable portion. There is no
help in sea voyages, there is no help in
high mountain air. These only Tighten
the pocket and leave the disease un-
abated. But there is positive cure in
Ely's Cream Balm. Try it. If you
continue to suffer it is because you neg
lect remedy as sure as it is cheap and
pleasant. 2t

A lady in Ashtabula, Ohio, who had
a mania for shopping, but who seldom
bought anything, recently bought a
spool of thread after spending two
hours in looking over the finest goods
in the shop She ordered it sent b ONE,
and this is how it was sent, according
to local chronicler: GA heavy dray
drawn by four horses was procured,
and four stalwart laborers with bare
arms we're placed upon it to hold the
spool. When the team drove up to
her door everybody stared and no one
could make out the purpose. After a
deal Of whip. cracking and other i'm
pressive ceremonies the cart was
backed against the curb. There, re-
posing calmly, end up, in the centre
Of the cart, was the spool. With the
aid Of plank it was rolled, barrel
fashion, safely to the sidewalk, and af-
ter struggle it was appended on the
purchasers doorstep"

My son. this is glorious country,
and this is the golden age of the world,
and the purchasing power of dollar
is one hundred cents, and a copper
cent in New England is tossed about
as recklessly and extravagantly as a
quarter in Colorado. In this golden
age and in this glorious republic there
still lives a man. He was tall and
comely his stature was the stature of a
man. He stood we'll in society. He
was honest and trustworthy. His
name was good at the bank; his en-.
dorsement of a note turned that note
into gold. He was educated, talented,
public-spirited. People came to him
for advice. People irrespective of age,
rank, previous condition of servltude,
color or politics, bowed to him, ,accosted
him with profound respect, invited
him to their homes, we're honered and
so expressed themselves, if he &C
cepted, and they express it yet greater
honor to be invited to his house. Ev-
erybody called him "Mister." Even
his enemies, for such a man always has
enemies, esteemed him for his many
excellent qualities of head and heart.
His character for truth and veracity,
his honest, his standing as citizen
and a member of refined society was
established beyond a shadow of doubt.
One day he was nominated for Presi
dent of this United States.
