A Use for Sharks

1t Is fact which affords some gratif

voracious prower of the deep, can be put
to good use after he has been captured.
The skins of certain sharks are used in

The curious case of the emu is de-
scribed in a letter from Mr.. Alfred Ben
nett, who had an opportunity of watch
ing the habits of this bird, which was.
during several seasons, successfully bred
by his father in Surrey. The hen bird,
says Mr.. Bennett, begins to lay about the
end of October or Beginning of Novem-
Der. and as each brood consists of twenty
Eggs or more. laid at intervals of two
days, the process takes about six weeks.
Before it is completed the cock bird be-
gins to set. The eggs laid subsequently
are deposited by the hen by the side
of her mate, who puts out his foot and
draws them under him. As soon as the
eggs begin to hatch it is necessary to
isolate the hen. as she fights furiously
with her mate, and would, to all appear
ance, kill the chicks if she were allowed
to get at them, The whole of the tend
ing of the young is performed by the
mail bird.-Nature.

One of the happiest men in the heat of
summer is the game dealer. 1t Is true
his trade is low when the thermometer
is high, but the close proximity of the
cold room. which is usually just under
his shop floor. keeps him delightfully."-
cool. 1t is not sufficient to keep game
on ice; they must be positively frozen,
and a large freezing mixture of ice and
salt is hence necessary. In Europe game
isn't considered worth cooking until it
Is high and almost rotten. but here it
must be kept fresh and sweet, or no one
will touch it. The freezing-room also
serves an excellent purpose in enabling
us to keep game until it is in season here
and elsewhere. Game laws in different
states vary very much, and I'VE are able
to sell game freely at the seaside when
we daren't show it in st. Louis. Birds
can be kept frozen eight and nine
months without having the flavor
affected in the faintest degree, and this
is very convenient. st Louis Globe
