A monster devil fish has been caught ln the Gulf of Mexico, of Galveston, Texas. These creatures are rarely seen in the neighbor- hood, but lately a shoal came in shore, and after much trouble one was caught in a seine. It had to be dragged ashore by horses, as it weighed fully two tons. The catch proved to be true specimen of the 'Cephaloptera Vampyrus," the vampire of the ocean, and as it lay dead on the beach it exactly resembled an enormous bat or vampire. The fish was sixteen feet wide from the extreme edge of the pectoral fins and fourteen feet long, and was protected on each side by curious appendages like horns, with which it seized its prey.

Brains Against Speed.

The rabbits have increased in numbers of late years, owing to the destruction of their enemies, the coyotes, which have been poisoned off by the sheep-men, and they are becoming a nuisance. As the country becomes settled they will gradually disappear; for although no dog can catch a full-whiskered fan-tailed jack rabbit, yet dogs soon learn the coyotes trick, and one will chase after the rabbit, while another, who has found out that the long cared animal always comes back to the place from which he started, lies in wait, and as the panting and tired rabbit hears the home-base he pounces upon him and gathers him in.
 One rancher has a shrewd old shepherd dog which manages to capture rabbits without assistance. When he first starts the rabbit he rushes furiously after it for a short distance. The rabbit lights out for ten-mile run, and finally finds his way home rather tired. Next day the dog starts the rab- bit again and races him far enough to warm him up, and he does his regular round again, and comes home bunged up. The next day the dog goes out, and when the rabbit hobbies off he puts in his best icks and soon captures his prey.-Portland Oregonian.

The late Gov. Coburn of Maine left fortune of about S2,000,000. He was never married. Scores of girls wove their nets for him, but he eluded capture. One day he saw a poor girl and she was so attractive and agreeable in her manners that he became smitten with her. Subsequently he made up his mind to marry her after he found that his affection was reciprocated. This so overjoyed the poor girls family that they babbled about the coming mar riage with the rich man. The babbling reached his ears and he was disp!eased. He broke off the engagement and never thought more of woman and her wiles.
 A Hebrew Christian church was dedicated in New York recently. The only church of its kind in America it will be non- sectarian in character and open to all christian believers. Its pastor is the Rev. Jacob Fresh man, son of a Jewish rabbi, who embraced Christianity some years ago. The dedication of this church is an event which ill- ustrates strikingly one of the changes of the last half century, the gradual breaking of the old law which seemed to justify the prophecy in keeping the Hebrews distinct and their blending in blood and thought with other races.-Ex.
