The sharks which abound on the
east coast Of Madagascar, and make
such extensive depredations upon
the cattle in course of shipment, are
occasionally captured by the people.
The young men sometimes go on
shark hunting expedition. Having
discovered shark they dive under
it, and, before it has time to turn on
its back, use the long knife they car
ry. 1t is affirmed among the Mala-
gasy that some of their people can
60 into the water on discovering a
shark, and, with nothing in hand
but piece of stick about foot in
length, armed with an iron point at
each end, can accomplish its de-
struction. Watching till one of the
monsters, with its two or three rows
of teeth, is about to attack him with
its wide extended jaws, the native
with his iron-pointed stick, seixes
his opportunity, and inserts his
hand into the mouth of the creature
and transfxes its jaws by implant-
ing the stick crosswise in its mouth.
The more the shark tries by snap
ping to disengage the wea non, the
more deeply it enters. and in painful
fury it seeks the bottom. Blu. it
fails to find relief, and at last dies.
Its body is washed ashore and the
inhabitants divide the carcass for
food.

Daily Food of the Chinese.

Many Americans believe that dog
soup, cat fricasee and rat a la mode,
are to be found daily on every table
in the empire. The fact is that
there are some peculiar people in
China as elsewhere, credulous and
superstitious; and some of these be-
lieve that the flesh of those animals
l have mentioned possess medical
properties. For instance, some silly
women believe that the flesh of rats
restores the hair. Some believe that
dog meat, also cat meat, renews the
blood, and quacks often prescribe it.
Then it is also true that there are
very poor people who have no mon
ey to buy proper food. and therefore
subsist upon what they can get, rath-
er than starve. But l have lived
fifteen years of my life in China, and
haveexperienced at public banquets,
social dinners and public meals, and
in company with all classes of peo-
pie, have never seen cat, dog or
rat served in any form whatever.
Chinese gardens are prodigal of veg
etables our ponds, rivers and lakes
swarm with fish; our farm-yards are
crowded with pigs, land fowls, ducks
and geese our fields are gilded three
times every year with ripening rice.
In some sections of the empire
wheat and barley are produced but
rice is our usual substitute for bread.
These articles make up the everyday
food OF the people. But there are
certain things unknown to your ta-
bles that are considered great delica-
cies by everybody. one of which is
edible birds nests. Another is
sharks fins. The Chinese do not
keep many cows, and it is true that
beef is not esteemed as good as pork,
and that many will not eat teef on
account of religious scruples. Milk,
butter and cheese are almost un-
known articles Of diet. The Chinese
think it is robbing the calves to take
milk from the COWS.

Smart London Girls.

The latest way of making money
is that of girl in London, whose
method is to remain perdue near any
house she intends to operate on un-
til the mistress goes out. Quickly
noting the more striking details Of
the lady's costume, rural innocence
waits awhile, then marches up to the
house with her basket and rings the
bell. To the servant who attends
the summons she re.ates that lady
had told her to leave the contents of
hee3 3Rsket at the house on receiving
pay Int. What lady? The artless
one does not know her name, but
she wore such and such raiment,
seemed SO many years old, etc. The
servant, recognizing the description
as that of her mistress, takes in the
country produce, consisting OF fresh
butter and newly laid eggs. and pays
good price for it, receiving a proper
courtesy in return. the denoue-
ment is. of course, that the fresh but
ter is discovered to be curiously ran
cid. that the newly-laid eggs appear
10 have been for some time in an in
cubator. and that the mistress dis
claims the honor ofrural innocence's 5
acquaintance.-LOndon Standard.

The Greyhound.

With regard to the dogs them
selves, Juliana Berner's enumeration
of points still holds good: A grey
hounde shoulde be heded like a
Snake and necked like Drake,
Foted like Kat. Tayled like rat.
Syded like a Teme. Chyned like a
Beme." The last of these maxims
is misquoted by Youatt and others
who seem to have followed him
blindly. They were 'chined like
Bream. and we have heard argu-
ments in favor of a high arched
loin based on the misquotation. The
felicity of the comparison with a
beam must be appreciated by all
who are familiar with the massive,
square-cut look of a well-developed
loin. Arrian makes length from
head to tail the chief point, and Of
course length has much to do with
speed. but for the country of which
we write size and length of stride
are of less Importance than COM
pactness and turning power.
1t is necessary that dogs should
be good fencers, and, moreover, clev-
er at making their way through
"bullfinchesn and other obstacles
which they cannot possibly get over.
A great difficulty in the way of pri-
vate coursers is that dog, seeing so
many more hares than he would see
if he were kept for public coursing,
often begins to run cunning" and
to display the character of lurch-
er rather than of a greyhound. He
will cease to exert himself in the
run-up, trusting to the chapter of
accidents to bring the wearied hare
within reach of his jaws later on.
Perhaps he will stop short at a fence
and wait for his more ingenious
comrade to drive the game back
again.
A dog which has developed such
habits must be got rid of at once.
Besides spelling sport he will cor
rupt his kennel companions, for
when cunning is the lesson the dull
est dogs are apt pupils. We once
saw an elderly couple ofgreyhounds,
the fruitful parents of many useful
dogs, and themselves once of high
renown in their own country, whose
owner, a farmer always took them
out when his wife wanted hare for
dinner. These experienced, ami
mails, whose love of sport age could
not diminish, would hunt by sight
as long as possible, running wide of
each other, and driving the hare
backward and forward between
them like shuttlecock between two
battledores, or like Mr.. Pickwick and
Messrs. Dodson and Fogg. As soon
as they were unsighted down went
their noses, and the chase was con-
tinued by scent. Their master new
er attempted to follow them. and
! they usually justified his confidence
by returning in due time side by
side, one of them carrying the hare
in his mouth with something of d
retriever's tenderness. - Saturday

We believe that all nations of peo-
ple have their moon theories or su-
perstitious notions, and yet there
are none more silly than the cher
ished ideas of our own civilized peo-
ple. who believe that the animal and
vegetable kingdoms are under its
control, that the elements are con-
trolled by its changes; indeed, that
the soil yields or refuses to yield ac-
cording as the seeds are given it in
the old or new of the moon. The
American Indian looks to the
moon for signs of the weather. He
believes that the good spirit makes
a new moon every month. and as
soon as he gets it finished round
and full, he falls asleep, and evil
spirits begin eating it by gnawlng
off the side till they have consumed
it, and then the good spirit awakens
and begins making new one again.
The shape of this moon, or its posi-
ton, determines the weather for the
next two weeks, or half moon. In
some of the different tribes of In
dams, as well as civilized people
the theories are in direct opposition
We have heard many a time two
men disputing as to signs, one in
sisting that when the bowl of the
moon will hold water it will be dry
another that when the bowl will not
hold water, it will be dry-both par
ties having watched the signs for
years declare that they never fail.
The absurdity will be seen at once.
The following from Blackwood, on
the subject, is to the point:
"The notion that the moon exerts
an influence on the weather is so
deeply rooted that, Notwithstanding
all the attacks that have been made
against it, it continues TO retain a
hold upon us. And yet there never
was a popular superstition so utter
ly without basis as this one.
'If the moon really did possess
any power over the weather, that
power could be exercised in one OF
these ways-by reflection of the
suns rays, by attraction, or by en-
anation. No other form of action
is conceivable. Now, as the bright
est light of full moon is never
equal in intensity or quantity to the
light which is reflected toward us by
white cloud ON a summer day, it
can scarcely be pretended that the
weather is affected by such cause
as that
Lapelace calculated that the Joint
attraction of the sun and moon to-
gether could not stir the atmosphere
at a quicker rate than five miles a
day. As for lunar emanations, not
sign of them has ever been discov-
cred. The idea of an influence be-
ing produced by the phasse of the
moon is therefore based on no rec
equitable cause whatever Further
more, it is now distinctly shown
that no variations at all really occur
in the weather at the moment of
changes of quarter, any more than
at any other ordinary times.

A Fan on a Large Scale,
The punka is a cloth mounted

The punka is cloth mounted in
a frame some three or four feet wide
and as long as need be, suspended
from the ceiling by two ropes or
cords, one at each end. In dwell
ings and Offices they hang over the
table, the bed and the desk. In
church they hang oyer every other
pew. Cords attach one to another,
and a whole section is moved by 2
line leading from it through a hole
in the wall attached to an upright
pole, the lower end fixed in can
non shot in tub of sand. Men
called punka wallahs are stationed
at each one of these, making a row
of perhaps dozen on each side OF
the building, and when the congre-
cation begins to assemble each sways
his pole back and forth with a mo-
ton like Kennebec raftsmen at their
sculling oars floating down river.
These punka wallahs make a strik-
ing feature, turbaned and dressed in
white, with twisted girdles around
their waists.

The Curse OF Polygamy.

Finding that the non-polygamists
were entitled to many more privi-
leges that the polygamists, and
knowing that the former were far
the more numerous, the leaders OF
the church began furious revival of
their religion about a year ago. Such
monogamists as held ecclesiastical
or political offices were crowded out,
and the elders, bishops, and saints
who were plurally married, and who
pretended to speak by authority,
depicted in forcible language the
future joys of those who obeyed
the will of God," and the torments
reserved for those who were Tn
mindful of His ordinances. Never
since the first pretended revelation
on the subject of plural marriage
was received had there been such q
determined effort on the part of the
church authorities TO spread their
poIygamous doctrines. The revival
was prosecuted both in public and
in private, and wives who had OBJ
lected to their husbands taking an
mother partner were visited by the
bishops and elders, and threatened
with ali the terrors of an offended
deity if they persisted in their will
fulness. 1t was plain that the po-
lygamists wished TO get as many of
their brethren in the same boat with
them as possible, and then trust to
luck. They saw that the enforce
ment of the law was inevitable.
The next thing was to make the job
so big that even the enormous pow
er of the federal government would
not be equal 10 the task. This
showed the inherent weakness of
of polygamy even here. The mass
of the Mormon people utterly re-
pudiate and abhor the doctrine. Not
over ten or fifteen per cent. of the
men have more than one wife, but
most of those in authority are DO.
lygamists, and, always speaking or
acting for all the Others, and exer-
cisiag a species of terrorism over
the people, they have repressed any
thing ike protest against the evil.

sDou't Give up the Ship

On February 8. 1913, Capt Law
renee, commanding the American
sloop of war Hornet, captured the
British sloop-of-war Peacock. For
the gallant exploit Lawrence was
promoted, in May, 1918 to the COM
mand of the Chesapeake, lying in
Boston harbor. She was in poor
fighting trim, both in respect to ar
mament and crew. The Britieh fri
gate Shannon, with a perfect equip
ment and picked crew, WIS hovering
off Boston, watching for the Chesa-
peake. Capt. Broke, the command
er of the Shannon, sent challenge
to Lawrence to meet him outside.
On June /, 1913, the Chesapeake
sailed out. The neighboring hills
and steeples swarmed with specta-
tors of the conflict. The first broad
side Of the Shannon swept the Ches-
apeake like cyclone. Lawrence
was morta,ly wounded, the first
Lieutenant was killed, and the COM
mand Immediately devolyed on an
inexperienced Second Lieutenant.
Carried below, Lawrecce immediate
ly became dilerious from the effects
Of his deadly wound, and shouted
Don't give up the skip" and he
kept on repeating Don't give up
the ship" at fitful intervals till he
died. And it did so happen that
at the close of the sanguinary con-
fiict the victorious English had to
haul down the Stars and Stripes
from the Chesapeake themselves.
With sad eyes the witnesses OF this
brief but bloody struggle saw the
two frigates slowly bear away north
ward toward Halifax.
In due time the dying ejaculation
of Lawrence reached the United
States. Commodore Perry COM
manded a small feet on Lake Erie
in September, 1913. One OF his
largest vessels was named Lawrence
by him, after the dead hero. Antic-
ipating an early encounter with the
feet of the British Commodore Bar
clay, Perry had prepared a flag
bearing in quotation marks the mot
to: Don't give up the ship" On
September 19, 1913, Perry met Bar
clay Just off the coast of Pennsyl-
yania, and the flagship OF Perry
sailed into the thick of the encoun-
ter with the words of Lawrence
streaming from the maintop. Every
BODY remembers how Perry's ship
became disabled in the midst of the
battle, and how he carried his en-
sign in an open boat-the bullets
and cannon shot whistling around
him-to another vessel, and hoisted
it to the fore. The long struggle
over, it was the British that gave
up the ship" Perry captured the
whole of Barclays squadron. No
American seaman will ever forget
the text of the brief dispatch in
which Perry conveyed the news OF
his victory to the Navy Department:
I'VE have met the enemy, and they
are ours"
The words of Lawrence in the
hour of defeat, and of Perry in the
hour of triumph, uttered seventy
two years ago, are among the cher
ished memories of the American
Navy.
