Catching the VOraciOus Shark.

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 60 on shark hunting
expedition. Having discovered shark
they dive under it, and, before it has
time to turn on its back, use the long
sharp knife they carry. 1t is affirmed
among the Malagasy that some of their
people can go. into the water on dis
covering shark, and. with nothingin
hand but piece of stick about foot
in length, armed with an iron point at
each end, can accomplish its destruc-
tion. Watching till one of the monsters
with its two or three rows of teeth, is
just about to attack him with its wide
extended jaws, the native with his iron
pointed stick, seizes his opportunity,
and inserts his hand into the mouth of
the creature and transfxes its jaws by
implanting the stick crosswise in its
mouth. The more the shark tries by
swapping to disengage the weapon. the
more deeply it enters, and in painful
fury it seeks the bottom. But it fails
to find relief, and at last dies. Its body
is washed ashore and the inhabitants
divide the carcass for food.

The Haytian PeOnIe.

"They hate their father and dispise
their mother" is saying which is the
key to the character of the mulatto.
OF the mulatto women it is rather
moro difficult to speak. They are
rarely good-looking, never beautiful.
AS they approach the white type they
have long, rather coarse hair. beauti-
full teeth. small, fleshless hands and
feet, delicate forms and sometimes
graceful movements. due apparently
to the length of the lower limbs.
Their principal defects are their voices.
their noses and sometimes the inor-
dinate size of their lower jaw. Their
voices are harsh, their skin blotchy OF
of dirty brown. their noses fiat or
too fleshy. and the jaw, as 1 have said,
heavy. Occasionally you see girl de-
cidedly pretty, who would pass in any
society, but these are rare In general
they are very plain, particularly when
you approach the black type. when the
frizzled hair begins TO appear.

Trade in Wild Beasts.

War, whatever it may be, never fails
to play terrible havoc with somebody's
trade. There are, of course, parts of
the world where the tiger and the ele-
phant. the hippopotamus and the leop-
ard and other fearful wild beast are
still to be had, but there seems to be
no demand for them. The Soudan
has long been the great source Of sup
ply for the more important of wild
beasts. Many Of them indeed come
from Abyssinia, but they are brought
through the soudan and have usually
been shipped for Europe at Massowah.
The capturing of wild beast and their
transport across the desert is the regu-
lar avocation of some of the Soudanese.
or course the animals are. taken
young. Lions, for instance are cap
tured as mere cubs. A couple of them
will be put in boxes and slung across
tho back of camel A young hip
popotamus will be conveyed in tank
of water borne between two camels,
while young giraffes may be compelled
to tramp. Of course an old lion or
lioness is much too lively brute to
answer the purposes of the desert
trade, and the same is the case with
most other animals.
There is no difficulty in managing
young lions. Kingship, if it is to be
awarded according to money value,
seems to be due not to the lion but to the
hippopotamus, which, on its arrival in
Europe, may be worth $500 TO $500.
From Massowah the Abysslnian ami
mails go in vessels with strong cages
fitted up on then. To some extent
the supply is obtained through the
agency OF the masters of trading ves-
sells, who do little business on their
own account, either with or without
the knowledge Of their owners. If it
is without the knowledge of the ship
owners accommodation has to be ex-
temporised for the security of the
beasts on board and arrangements have
to be made for parting with the illicit
passengers before coming into port.
The Soudanese are now too busy in
other ways to be minding their ordina-
ry trade. and if they were not Soudan
just now is not pleasant place for
commercial travellers to squat in for
dealing.--Ne,o York Herald.

SnaiIs ia American Restaurants.

"Snails. please; and bring 'em in the
SHE'LL" said round, rosy-cheeked little
man with close-cropped gray whiskers
to waiter in fashionable downtown
restaurant largely patronized by swells
and the better grades of sporting-men.
The order sounded somewhat unusu-
al to Tribune reporter who CHANGED
to be engaged on modest sirloin at an
adjacent table, and he glanced over the
bill of fare to see if the dainty mollusk
lad place thereon. There it was
sure enough; "Escargots Bordelaise,
ST."
"Are not snails new thing in your
bill of fare?' the restaurant-keeper
was asked
"Well, yes; it is only within the
last month or two that l have been
keeping them as regular article.

ORDERLY getting notice some time be-

demand has increased sufficiently to al
low of my having them as a regular
thing. Not that there is any demand
for them yet worth speaking of-seems
they're too rich for the American
blood-but they are getting into favor.
When Chicago epicure eats one dish
he's a snail-eat ever after, and /
shouldn't wonder but before long
snails will become part of the regu-
lar bill of fare in every first-class res
taurant in the city"
"What class of people are your prin-
cipal customers for them?'
Americans who have been in Eu-
rope replied the restaurant-man
promptly. "Now, that man there" he
continued--pointing to the arple-faced
little patron, who was absorbed in
picking the snails from their shells
with one-pronged silver fork, rolling
them over in a thick brown sauce and
swallowing them with evident appre-
ciation-"that man there was in Eu-
rope last year, and got taste for
them there, and he's been one of my
regular customers since he came back.

know, and largely used in England,too.
