The Necessity of Tolerance

Much of the discomfort and unhap-
piness of life, in school, in the family
or in a community comes from our
inability to understand or tolerate the
qualities of character in others which
we do not possess ourselves.
No man can live long in the world
without knowing that there is a kim
ship, not of blood but of education,
feeling and habits which allies him to
certain men and women. They read
the same books, think as he thinks,
amuse themselves in the same way;
in a word, they understand him and
he them. This is the basis of most of
the comradeship, the friendship and
the distinction of caste in the world.
Nothing can be more reasonable or
right than that men thus allied by
nature should form the comradeships
and friendships, or even classes.
But nothing can be more unjust and
petty than their prejudice and hate for
people outside of their set or class or
race. Montreal Star.

Bill Neff and the Lynx Both Surprised.


A large lynx made a visit to Bill
Neff's cabin on the Emerald and made
a lengthy stay-in fact Mr.. Lynx is
there yet The animal was attracted
by some meat that was hanging out
side the door of the cabin. There was
no lock or bolt to secure the opening,
and while it was climbing up to reach
the meat the door swung open and al
lowed the lynx to founder in, where
he proved a genuine surprise party to
Bill, who was Willing away the hours
by reading tiger steries. 1t was hard
to tell which was the most surprised,
the lynx or the man, but the former
evidently thought Bill meant business
when it saw him reach for the ak, and
at once made a spring.
For several minutes they fought at
close quarters, and at last Bill broke
away from the beast and climbed up on
the sleeping bunk, where he could get
elbow room to swing his weapon. On
came the lynx, but missed his footing.
This was Bills time. AS the animal
made another spring for the bunk, the
AK was swung aloft and the pole was
brought down on the skull of the ami
NAL with the usual dull, siclening
thud" The lynx dropped in heap,
and Bill came down from his perch to
find that his blow had smashed the
skull. The animal was stone dead
Neff's clothes were torn to tatters, and
he says the lynx weighed $50 pounds.
We are promised one of the paws,
which covers a surface larger than a
mans hand, and shall be pleased to
show it to any one who doubts the
story. -Silverton Miner.

bines with the phosphoric acid formed

The phosphate thus obtained should
be useful as manure, and NJ. Fleis-

working on the subject to determine
whether such theoretical anticipation
is verified in practice.
Numerous experiments made at va

good results when this Stag, ground to

SWALLOWED BY AN ALLIGATOR.
A Human Skull and a Watch Found in o
Saurian's Stomach.

A Human Skull and Watch Found in o
Saurian's Stomach.
Tim Smith, a colored laborer work
ing on w. T. Fuller's orange grove at
Edgewater, comes to Palatka nearly
every day in rowboat. To do this
he is compelled to pass Buzzard ISL
and, dark and lonely place, grown
up with brush and inhabited by all
sorts of wild birds, and may well be
termed the home of the alligator, ow-
ing to its quietness and dark waters,
which are seldom disturbed beyond the
ripple of an oar manipulated by the
huntsman.
For several weeks Tim Smith noticed
particularly large alligator, whose
back was filled with barnacles and
long green moss. The alligator was
never known to demonstrate any fear,
and would not get out of Smiths way
under any consideration, allowing him
to row rather close toward him.
Recently, when Smith started for
town, he put a Winchester rifle in his
boat for the express purpose of giving
his 'gatorship a load of cold lead.
When opposite Buzzard Island the al
igator reappeared, and, rowing to
within easy range, Smith fired five
shots at the saurian, all of which
seemed to take effect, for the alligator
made terrible fiutter in the water, and
turned over on its back.
Three days later Smith found the
dead alligator floating near by, and,
tying a rope about its head, towed it
to the Edgewater grove, when the alli-
gator was found to measure 16 feet 81
inches in length, two balls having en-
tered the skin just back of the head.
Smith then set to work and skinned
the saurian for market, when to his
great surprise the darly came across
human skull, perfectly formed and
unbroken, but owing to the supersti-
tiousness of the negro he stopped skin
the alligator, which operation was fin
ished by white employe on the grove.
Further dissection brought to light
gold watch bearing the initials &C. L.
T." The skull and watch are now on
exhibition at Fry's taxidermy store.
Who the unfortunate man was no
one seems to know, as the initials are
not familiar about here, but it is sup
posed that he was some sportsman,
who, alone was attacked and devoured
by the alligator as is quite often the
case with northern tourists who come
to Florida and navigate its streams
without a guideto to keep them from the
dark and dangerous tributaries that
empty into the ST. Johns 's.-Palatka

l asked policeman who had four
blue stripes, representing twenty
years service, upon his sleeves why
he did not retire upon the pension of
5000 a year, to which he is entitled.
because l am waiting for something
better" was the reply. He is big,
hearty man of As years, with twenty
seasons of active life apparently before
him. Then he told me that there were
about $50 of these pensioners employed
in looking after banks and large
Office buildings down town, and every
one of them is on the retired list of the
police, drawing a pension of 5000.
There are five men in the Mutual Life
who are paid 81, 200 each by the own
ers of the building, and ten men in
the Equitable Life who are paid from
81, 400 down to $500, which is the
smallest amount paid anywhere. The
duties are light, only requiring atten-
dance on six days of the week from
Sto 5. Each of these men is sworn in
as special policeman and reports to
the superintendent of police once a
month. The policeman on my beat
has his wires laid and expects to be in

amounting to $1,000 before the close

Lean down and kiss me, o my love, my own;

me;
When DER my low green bed with bitter moan,
Thou wilt lean down, but canst not clasp or kiss
me.
How strange it is that l. so loving thee
And knowing must part, perchance to-mor-

Can comfort find, thinking how great will be
Thy lonely desolation and thy sorrow.

weeping?
Why can not rejoice that in thy he3rS
Sweet love will bloom again when am sleep

Nay, make no promise; 1 would place no ban
Upon thy future, even wouldst thou let me;
Thou hast most truly loved me- like a man,
And, like man, thou wilt, indeed forget me.
Why should care-so near the infinite
Why should care that thou wilt cease to miss
me?
All, me! these earthly ties are knit so tight!

There was once upon time an old
lady who had known many sorrows
and heartaches, who had lost children,
husband, friends, and who was alone
and poor in her old age. One day
lady who had gone to see her, plying
her sad fate, said: "Why, grandma,
what a dreary outlook there is from
your window-only barns and back
doors" YES" said the old lady,
cheerily, but there are people who
are blind, and who, although they
live always by the ocean, cannot see

me to look at, and when it is very blue

A CRABS SUMNER SUIT.
How the Luscious MoIlusl<s Get New
Srnr.iIhr~

Shells Every Spring.
This little town furnishes most of
the crabs all the year around for the
markets of the leading cities of this
country. The crabs are caught in
Chesapeake bay, and are packed in
crates or barrels for shipment. Over
half the inhabitants of the town make
their living out of grabbing. There is
a secret about the success of Crisfield
grabbing. The crabber here never
ships female crab When one of the
female sex is scooped up in the crab
bers net it is always thrown back into
the bay. Crabs are caught every
month here in the year and in all
stages of development.
The crabs are dormant from fall un-
til spring, even in the Gulf of Mexico,
where they are more abundant than
anywhere else on this country's coast.
In the spring, when they come out of
the mud and masses of seaweed, they
60 right into the business of she'd
ding. Really, it seems as if the crab
had little else to do in summer but
shed his shell and get new one of
larger caliber. The hard crab first
puts on a leathery undergarment, and
while it is growing he is known as a
''comer." In day or two, when this
under skin is completed he is known
as a 'shedder," and then he is best fit
ted for bait, because his hard shell
can then be stripped off, leaving the
leathery integument entire.
In single day the 'shedder" parts
his shell and becomes a buster" and
in few hours he will throw off his
shell, crawl out of it entirely and
commence to swell and stretch out his
elastic covering. Then he is a soft
crab par excellence. On the night of
the day the crab divests himself of his
misft shell he is in the best condition
for frying. In another day, if he is
not taken from the water, his new
covering becomes like parchment, and
in twelve hours more the parchment
hardens so that it just yields to pres
sure. Then he is known as a 'buck-
ler, and is of little use except as a
DfO1lef.
The crab fishing business is put
down at half million dollars per year
by the fish commission, and probably
the estimate is by no means complete.
The crabs are caught in summer by
batting set lines with trip pc or fish, and
the catch per man will average sixty
dozen a day. All the soft crabs taken
during the summer are sent to market
and in May and early June the only
soft crabs found in New York come
from Maryland, Virginia and North
Carolina. In the latter part of June
soft crabs begin to be caughtin Jersey
waters and the price then declines.
Taking a crab out of water arrests the
process of development and packed in
sea weed in a cool place the shedder or
soft crab will remain alive for several
weeks without undergoing any change.

besides, some of her relatives, as long

she can go in and out through key
