A Ramed Shark.

From the New York Graphic
A shark swallowed man In armor
of the coast of Denmark few years
ago. Last year he swallowed a horse on
the coast OF Ireland. Last Monday he
was seen of COney Island. While the
crowd was looking at him from the iron
pier copy of that days World blew
overheard, in the upper corners on the
first page of which was printed the
"Circulation, over 900 copies yester-
day." The shark kindly, but firmly, re-
fused to swallow that. He drew the
line there, and left for the coast OF Den
Mark.

The idea OF Prof. Horsford was indeed a
grand one in supplanting the inaigestible tar
tarate of soda, which is always the end result
of all Baking Powders composed Of Cream of
Tartar and Soda, by the soluble phosphate of
lime and soda, the very nutritive value of
bread. and the bone-producing elements of
nature.
1t is certainly the best and most healthy
bread-raising preparation ever offered TO the
public, and every mother that has the health
of her children at heart should use no other.

I.IFE'y WELFARE.

An life is weary warfare,
And the earth battle field,
Where he is the greatest actor,
Who is brave enough to yield.
The fight in the thick of the battle
May he ones wearysome fate,
While others may hear the herald,
They also serve who wait
The victories are not the greatest
That are sounded on every tongue
For the heart gains many triumph
Over which no praises are sung.
For many Il soul has wrcstled
With grief in the solemn night,
And has dug lonely sepnlcher,
And buried it out of sight
And has mingled in the morning
Where mirth was holding sway,
And no one knew of the sepulcher
Hidden 50 far away

any one belonging to Bell had crossed

Tom was going to pass on. He was
very shabby. Tom had always been
more or less shlftless and money in his
Golfers had never been plenty. But
Vane had not seen him look like this
before.
He stopped and put out his hand,
paling a little. Tom did not seem to
notice the hand.
'How-how is Bell7' asked Vane,
uncomfortably,
Tom looked at HIM with a sudden

AS to her being happy-if you mean
whether she regrets you, don't sup
