"Don't you do no foOlin' with a shark" said
a Barnegat fisherman as he crowded tobacco
into his pipe for another smoke. Sharks is
an animal as knows moren you think for. A
couple of years ago took party out after
weak fish in the yacht Mary. She belongs to
Capt Small, or did afOre he died. We were
anchored up in Bay No 3 and tho fish were
biting like smoke, when all at once the school
left us. l knowed that meant a shark, and |
looked around for him. Purity soon he came
alongside, and l up with pole and gave him
an awful jab in the back. You can't hurt
sharks body very well, but his feelings are as
tender as a childs. This fellow ran off bit
and then cooked his eye at me and took good
long Squint. Then he ran around under the
stern TO read the yachts name, and when he
went off he gave his tail hirt which meant
that he would call around and make it pleas
ant for me some other time.
''Well, in the course of three or four days
Capt. Small got home and went out III the
Mary for sheepshead. He went up TO No. )
and cast anchor, and then sOt down i'll his
usual position-his right leg hanging over
the port quarter and his foot jist touching the
water. He hadn't been there ten minutes be
fore along came shark and cut that leg off
below the knee as slick as a chopper could
have done it. The captain had skeerCely re-
allied his loss afore the fish came back with
the leg. give himself hist and a twist and
the bloody meat was flung back into the boat.
For why! Because the shark had discovered
that he had bit the wrong man. He was
after me, and he had got Small. He had
nOthin' agin Small, and he cheerfully brought
back the leg when he discovered his mistake.
The captain he died of the bite, but not be
fore 1 had explained things and the last thing
he said was that he forgive the shark. DE

A ProsaIc Idyl.
A Plea for the Enemy.

To succeed in the Salvation Army, a man
should have a voice with bristles down its
back: a voice that would scare old Satan into
st. Vitus' dance While 1 do not indOrse
Satan or any of his acts, / believe that we
should give him chance. Satan has done
good many things that were essentially
wrong, and there is a general feeling against
him, and yet, badly as l hate him, and bit
terly as I would fight him on a fair field,
would not ask him to wake up suddenly, out
Of a sound sleep, and find himself surrounded
by Salvation Army. To call an enemy out
Of doors and kill him according to Cushings
manual IS one thing, and to scare him into
hydrophobia is quite another BID Nye.

Cooked Food for Cows.

To cook or not to cook, for dairy
COWS, is now the question propounded
to us by a correspondent. 1t may be
stated that upon general principles
cooked food is preferable for animals.
Experience certainly shows that cook
ing increases the value of food. 1t
makes it more digestible, and that is
the test. If any animal can readily
digest all the food it consumes, of
course it will not need to consume as
mnch as if it only digested part.
But there are some objections to cook
ing meals and grains. 1t makes the
mastication of such foods in measure
unnecessary, and unless there is full
mastication there will be lack of
saliva in the food which nature in
tended should be mixed with it.
The cow should have nothing that
does not require complete mastication.
"Chewing the cud" is Necessary to her
well-being. When she does not Chew
the cud" she is out of health, and pee'
pie say she has lost her cud. She has
not lost anything but her health. The
extra expense, too, for cooking food
must always be taken into considers
ton. The answer TO our correspon-
dent, therefore, is that while there arc
objections to cooking, there are ad-
vantages, and, as before said, as rule
it will pay TO cook food for any animal
But while this is true, satisfactory re
suits can be obtained by feeding grount
and cut foods.

liar Service, to limit the exaction fees

The fJllowing clippings from ex-
changes In relation 10 the peach crop
will no doubt prove interesting:
just now, the peach prospect looks q
little better, but growers still say that
q very light crop will he raised. The
present indications are more favorable
Break water Light.
The opinions OF peach growers do not
yet seem 70 have become settled as TO
the amount OF injury done tho crops by
the recent cold weather. They are still
pulling off and examining buds, which
causes IN exchange to remark that more
damage will be done In trying to find
out whether they are killed than by the
cold. -Delaware Democrat.
The best authorities on peaches here
say that II nothing else happens to
them there will be about one-fourth &, 1
q crop. Some orchards that have been
bearing full crops for several seasons
have no living buds, while others that
did not bear full crops for severa
seasons seem to be full of living buds.
The general impression Is that the crop
will be failure, and some are selling
their orchards for mere tribes. II is
reported that Chas. w Smith, near
OtumpJOn, HAS bOlu uis ofCuhIu 70
John Hubbard for $25 Chas. w.
Clemens, here, has sold his orchard to
John K George for s., and Philip
Grim has sold his orchard to Chas. M.
Lloyd for $5.-'Centreville Record"
In order to test the truth Of the re-
ports about the peaches being killed in
this vicinity, Mr. A. Hushebeck took a
mum Der Of cuttings from the orchard
of K. r. Cochran some ten days ago
and put them in his propoRating b d in
the greenhouse, and to-day we were in.

Q tree Of Smocks one bud was dead on
of eleven Crswfords Late twenty buds
out Of thirty Ave; another variety OF
red peaches showed two killed out OF
eighteen.
All these were taken from a three
, ear old orchard, and we think it is a
fair test of the true state OF the condi-
tion the peaches are in today. II one
half of the buds now living grow into

How q King Learned Kindness,

A certain king, in the East, was
noted for his cruelty, so that he was
much more dreaded than loved by his
people.
One day, after he had been out hunt
ing, and returned, he caused an officer
to publish that he, the king, was now
sensible OF his faults, and henceforth
meant to rule his subjects with justice
and gentlcness. he kept his promise
so faithfully that they gave him the
surname OF 1.-THE Just" Some years
aflerward one of his favorite ministers
took occasion to ask him what had so
soon brought about that great change
in his conduct.
The king, with much kindness, thus
explained It: "You may remember
had been out to hunt just before max
ing the public promise Of better gov
ernmeH. One of the dogs stayed from
the pack to chase fox, and bit him
through the bone of the leg. The
poor fox went limping to his hole, and
the dog set off at full speed to rejoin
the pack. One of my footmen wantonly
threw stones at the dog and broke his
leg. A runaway horse, passing at the
time, mistook the motion of the mans
arm for an attempt to catch him, and
therefore kicked out and broke the
footmen's leg; and the horse, frightened
at the shout that was raised, dashed of
to a wood, slipped his foot into hole,
and got his leg broken.
Here was chain of retribution.
was forcibly struck at seeing how each
was paid back for his deed of violence,
and il set me to thinking what a load
of evil l was heaping up that should
fall one day upon my own head. II
was this reflection that, by the will oil
God, worked such great and instant
change in my conduct"
Thus it is in our lives. No one can
do cruel sor unjust or even foolish
action without suffering, sooner oil
later, the pains that surely spring from
his folly or sin. If you SOW the seed
of thistles or brambles, do not wonder
that, when they are grown, YOU
hands are stung and torn in grasping
them.

NATURE's LESSON.
BY nArrrs sonHxR.

The summer FAY was ending,
The golden sun descending,
Into the glowing sea;
The wild birds piercing cry,
As he mounted 70 the SKY.
Uame on the Dresss TO me.
Par out. the fishsrmen's boats,
Rose aud fall like dNnctng Inosts,
While nosr the shell strewn bea-h,
The glad children In their play,
Flung the shiBing sand away
Far out be- ond their reacb.
OIL tho scene wa grand Audi,
thrilled with delight, did cry,
"ihis Is q perfect day"
No clouds have dlmmed the sun,
Sine tbs early morn begun
To lift the clouds away.
Just then noticed far above,
A small, dark cloud TO lightly move
On. onward 70 the west;
/ watched itgreat and greater grow,
In $40 and coloring, TIL 10!
II broke IN all its Eest.
Then deeply the thundsr's sound,
Echoed all the cliffs around,
Awfully strAoge AND loud;
md the lightning's lurid light,
Leaped forth rom cloud to cloud.
And the wild BIRDS shelter soughts
In grsat ciefts bv nature wrought
On rocky lodges steep;
Tho win1 rushed 70 IN fro,
FIlst moaning sad and low,

Twice doomed the surging sea,

And broke In fieecy foam;
Aud The children left their play
In alarm, an fiet away
To precloui friends and home.
Soon the thunder fainter grew,
Roaring winds no longer blew,
The lightning hid from sisht;
And like unto mondays glow,
