Fishermen Followed by a Shark.

| Fishermen Followed by Shark
| Santa Cruz, (Cai. Surf.I
| On Wednesday afternoon at 4
O'Clock Joe Buelna, q well known
fisherman, accompanied by Charles
Angles started out in fishing smack
with their gill nets. They Intended
to DRIFT during the night and return
about o'clock yesterday morning.
When about three miles off Sequel
they set their nets. They had with
them a loaf of bread, gallon of wat
er and little coffee and sugar. AT
| o'clock in tn evening they made
coffee and ate their bread. Shortly
alter northeast gale sprang up and
| the bay became quite rough. They
| shipped several seas and by lOo'clock
both men were wet through, and the
boat was drifting about pretty much
at the mercy of the wind. The night
was very raw and cold, and the men
suffered considerably. BY morning
they had dlifted down so that they
were off jacksonville wharf, between
there and Monterey.
Ill day yesterday they were try
ing to beat up against the wind, which
was several times so squally that
they had to lower sail. Without
food or water, except so much salt wa
ter as kept them wet to the skin, their
position was exceedingly uncomfort-
able, and for three or four hours it
was not improved by the fact that a
large shark followed closely at the
stern of the boat. This close cOmpan-
ion did not render the prospect OF cap
sizing any too agreeable.
However, they finally made the
wharf at this place at o'clock last
evening, very wet, cold, hungry and
thirsty, and bringing with them one
sea bass, one barracuda and one mack
erel. If the weather had been favor
able they would have had fine catch,
but, as IG was, it was with difficulty
that they could draw in their nets.
Frank Buelna, brother OF Joe, was
very uneasy when the men did not
get in yesterday, and drove down to
Sequel to see if they got III there. Joe
has spent his whole life on the waters
of Monterey Bay and seemed to re-
gard the adventure very coolly.

Antiseptic Value OF Eucalyptus.

A late correspondent of the Selma
Irrigator says: In soaking up old
wine or vinegar casks. we throw a
few blue-gum boughs with their
leaves into the water, and it never
becomes putrid, while without the
blue-gum we would have to change
the water daily to prevent putridity
and spelling of the flavor of any
thing afterward kept in the cask.
We have kept fresh beer eight days
in the hottest weather, by. keeping
around it plentiful supply of green
blue-gum leaves, and changing them
daily. A decoction of geeen leaves
is a stronger and more lasting stim-
ulant than tea or coffee, and more
salutary in it's effects, as it does not
cause wakefulness. It seems to
have the stimulating effect of qui-
nine, without any of its injurious
qualities. In addition to the above
it may be remarked that no worm
or insect is ever found upon the eu-
calptus tree, or in the earth where
its roots permeate. A row of trees
planted through an orchard or vine
ward will cause insects, worms and
caterpillars to vacate that region.

Heads of Men of Different Races

Some interesting facts were furn-
ished some time ago by English
hatters respecting the sizes of mems
hats. The "size" is the mean be-
tween the length and breadth of a
hat; thus, measurements of u
inches and 81 inches would give
No. 7, and so on. The usual size
for an adult Englishman is No. Z.
Germans have round heads, Malays
small ones. The heads of Portu-
guese average from 81 to Z inches
those of Spaniards are little larger.
The heads of Japanese excel the
English average. Men who have
much to do with horses are said to
have the smallest heads, and rough
relation appears to exist between
the size of the head-dress and the
mental capacity.-Popular Science.

The gentleman born has the right
sort Of pride, too. He will go out
of his way to show stranger the
nearest road to any point he may
desire to reach, share his last crust
with a starving brother, peril his
life to protect a woman from insult,
and is ever prompt to assist weak
ness and avenge wrong. Yeti you
offer him compensation for obeying
the impulses Of his knightly nature
his cheek will redden with indigna-
ton at the thought of being mis-
taken for a mercenary, willing to
make a trade of doing good. His
labor he will sell, but not the serv-
ices which his noble heart teaches
him are due to all who are in neces-
sity, tribulation or danger. Such
a man, though his spelling-book
experiences may be too limited to
enable him to spell the word "ped-
igree," and he may have been
raised" in a log shanty on salt
pork and corn dodgers, is never
theless royal and the moral peer Of
any Of his species.-N. Y. Ledger.

A Problem Defying Solution.

The Boston Herald has the fol-
lowing nut to crack: Assuming
that community of 100000 work.
ers can produce in a day by the
labor of 10 hours, wealth to the
value of 100000, then if their la
Dor is cut down to eight hours day,
they must either work harder or
more skillfully in the shorter period,
or there will be one-fifth less wealth
to divide among those interested in
its production. There is no way of
getting over this. At the present
time the wages earned are paid, and
and the capitalist receives his re-
turns from the gross sum of pro-
duction. Ii this sum is cut down
in any way a loss is inevitable either
on the side of the capitalist or wage
Garner, or on both sides. While S.
divided among five men will give
each 81, there is no process of
arithmetic by which 81 divided
among five men will produce the
same result.

In q Living Tomb.

Joseph Duvuette has been in tho
Michigan prison for thirty-two con-
secutive years. He was convicted
of murder in Sanilac county in
1853 and condemned to solitary
confinement for life. For a number
of years (how many he himself
cannot teIl) he was isolated from
anything in the shape of human
being. He never saw q human face
or heard a human voice for long,
weary months at time. His food
was brought to him on tin plate
and handed through a wicket, but
he never caught a glimpse of the
convict who waited on him. For
thirty-two years the only sight of
sky he ever saw was from within
the four great walls. He has never
stepped outside the gates. No friend
or relative has spoken to him ia all
that period.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Statesmen Who Began Their Pollt.
ical Careers in That Body.

The House of Representative
has been the nursery of many dis
tinguished men. Henry Clay wor
his first political honors in the
House, of which he was for severa
years its most brilliant Speaker
Daniel Webster began his public
career in the House, but his sub
lime and stately oratory was bette,
adapted to the Senate; John Ran
dolph began his meteoric career in
the House, where he sharpened his
wit by constant practice, until il
became as keen and deadly as the
scimiter of Saladin. John Quincy
Adams was a unique example in
our history of an ex-President OF
the United States serving in the
House of Representatives. For
eighteen years he was a prominent
member of that body, during which
he took a most active part in pub
lie affairs, availing himself of his
opportunities to denounce his old
enemies-Whigs and Democrats
who had prevented his being nom-
mated for a second presidential
term. To come down to more re-
cent times, John Sherman served a
long apprenticeship in the House
before he was elected to the Senate ;
Ben Hill Of Georgia was a recog-
nized leader among the Representa-
tives before he received Senatorial
honors; James G.. Blaine, after
training as editor of the Portland,
Me-, Advertiser, entered the House
of Representatives on the Sd of
December, 1868, and served without
intermission until March 4, 1875 !;
he was elected Speaker of three
successive Congresses, from March
4, 1859, to March 4, 1875.
Since Mr.. Blaine took his leave
of the House, John G. Carlisle of
Kentucky has been the most con-
spicuous member of that body. Mr..
Carlisle is the fourth Kentuckian
that has been elected Speaker of the
House of Representatives, the first
being Henry Clay. Thomas B. Reed
has not been a prominent figure in
national politics until recently, but
he possesses in a remarkable degree
the special quality which the French
revolutionist Danton praised and
adopted as his own: L'audace, i
audace, ct toujours L audace. Mr..
Reed can scarcely claim the brill
fancy of his predecessor, James G.
Blaine, in the Speakers chair, but
for boldness and audacity as a par
Humanitarian this new son of Maine
totally eclipses her favorite SON.

A Girls Best Charm.

My dear girls, keep yourselves
looking as sweet and dainty as pos
sible. Never undervalue the char m
of an agreeable appearance. 1t is
the most delightful letter of intro
duction that can be given to stran-
ger, and there is no reason in the
world why every woman should not
be pleasant to look upon. A famous
woman once said: "There are no
ugly women; there are only women
who do not understand how to make
themselves beautiful" This is alb
solutely true. So the right thing
for you to do is to sit down, think it
over and make yourself the charm
ing example that points the moral
of this.-Ladies' Home Journal.
