Misadventures of Two Sharks.

Captain Travers, of the schooner
Hester A. Stewart. that Just arrived
from the Bahamas, told reporter that
just before he left the islands the
natives captured shark eighteen feet
long. When it was cut open a half
barrel of salt pork was found intact
in its stomach. besides a number of
other articles which the monster had
swallowed. Mr. Miller also had
shark story. Two months ago the
dead body of monster shark was
washed up on the beach at Abaco. In
side the huge mouth was found small
barrel. 1t was wedged so tightly that
it would neither 60 up nor down. In
the barrel, the head of which was O1.
was found all the food the fish had
managed to get inside its teeth The
barrel caught all the food and the fish
starved to death.-Balsimore Amer.

THE CANTEEN SYSTEM.
a New Feature Of Army Life That Ha
Novel Effects.


Novel Effects.
A feature of Army life that is now
attracting some attention outside OF
the ranks, and which has the approval
OF the officials of the War Department
Is what is known as the "canteen.'
1t is best known in the English army,
and has for its object the providing for
soldiers of food, drink and amuse.
ments. Atpresent the first, two named.
aside from the necessities of the sol
dier, which are provided by the com.
missary department, are supplied by
the post traders, Until within the last
few years the business of the post
trader was profitable, but with the
his business fell off. until now his rev.
enue is derived largely from his Ii.
cense to sell beer and wine. In many
cases it is said that the post trader
abuses the privileges thus granted him.
and dispenses to the soldiers a poor
quality of whisky and brandy. The
traders dealings are thus often preju.
dicial to good order and discipline a;
the post. 1t is this fact, probably
more than any other. that has led tC
the adoption of the canteen system.
The canteen is controlled by volun.
tary association of the soldiers. The sup.
plies are purchased and sold as at the
post traders, but no spirituous liquor:
are sold, and no liquors of any kino
to an intoxicated man. BY this mean:
the soldiers themselves lend theil
aid to the officers in maintaining disci.
pline. The amusements include both
indoor and outdoor recreation anG
sports. and it is this feature to which
the officers look for the best results
in the morals of the enlisted men. The
results of the system have been so sat.
isfactory that the War Department
officials and heads of the army give all
possible encouragement to its growth.
In short time a complete list of tine
locations of canteens will be made up.
They are known to exist at Davis Is:-
and, New York harbor; Columbus
barracks, and several posts in the
West 1t is expected that the reports
now coming in will be so favorable
that the extension of the canteen sys-
tenn to every army post will soon be
accomplished ed.-Washington Letter.

Careful Attention Should BE Given to
Food and Surroundings.
The first requisite of the pig is COM
fort, as without this he will not
thrive. Cold and filth are destructive
to success. Food should be of vari-
ETY.. One kind only without change
will break down any young pigs stOm-
ach and produce feverish state in an
older one. 1t is unnatural to restrict
animals to one thing when they are
constituted with desire and relish for
an unlimited diet Concentrated,
rich food needs a combination with
coarser kinds to render it less COM
pact and allow more ready pene-
tration of the gastric juices. 1t would
be hard to maintain a healthy action
if the intestines of the animal con-
tanned only a compact mass of ferment-
ing. putrefying stuff.
Most farmers have plenty of milk,
fruits, clover and grasses, which. to-
gether with some grain, are excellent
foods for pigs.s SKINNED milk is good
for growing pigs, as it is rich in sub
stances which form both bone and
muscles.
Wholesome and profitable food Is
found in small quantities of linseed-oil

this fed with oats and corn ground to-

a slop, will push the growth of the pig

ELECTRICAL TERMS.

call it an ''element." 1t is the parts

which are immersed in liquid con-

of a number of volts, the number

Volta, the Italian scientist, whose
name is prominently connected with
the development of electrical science.
In the same way the "Ohm" is
named after Prof. Ohm. who invented
it as standard or unit for measuring
the resistance to an electric current in
its transmission through body,
usually wire, thereby measuring the
conducting power of the wire. II

the pipe represents the resistance to
the flow of the water, the narrower

magnetic and electric properties OF
the molecules it traverses. In travel.

an engine running along track
spends its force in overcoming the
resistance of friction. The ''Ohm"
is the unit of resistance. Its quanti-
ty has been determined by expert.

of physical science. an arbitrary
standard has been established by
which to measure it-Chicago Trib.

AN EGYPTIAN NECKLACE.
A Beautiful Bauble First Worn in the
Ago of Moses.

Ago Of Moses.
1t is a chain of exquisite gold. .
rich orange yellow in color. with
links dexterously twined one upon
another. 1t is about thirteen inches
long. three-elghths of an inch wide,
and as nearly tenth of an inch thick
as can measure it with a rule. The
ends of it were at first fitted only
with small, solid rings, set into
clamps beautifully ornamented with
leaf-work. Perhaps it was fastened
to the wearer's neck by a filament or
cord of silk tied through. The pres
ent owner has arranged a modern
clasp in the shape of the lotus. flower.
1t can still be used, and. indeed, as
we'll as ever, as an ornament for one

down into picturesque folds the mo-
ment it is let go. that it seems more
like a ribbon of delicate tissue than
like mere metal An expert gold
smith told me, after he had examined
it with his glass, that it undoubtedly
had a perfectness of uniformity in
the links which could be found only
in a chain manufactured by machin-
