open beaches make most fitting frame
for such a picture. The residents are
all great fishermen. and many are the
marvellous stories told of big catches of
fish and adventures on tho coast.
Captain Joe Holland is one of the vet
Grams of Lake Worth, and here is his
latest fishing adventure while on his
last trip from the Bermudas a few
weeks ago: The captains pet boat is o
small sloop, and his crew consists Of
himself and stalwart mulatto and a
pet monkey. The latter had been
taught to haul ropes and do many other
things of the kind. When out from the
islands on their last trip, and in the
Gulf stream, they encountered a school
of sharks. The captain, it appears,
tried every way to get rid of his unwel-
come followers, but to no avail. as they
clung closer than debtor, and night or
day their ugly-looking fins and shovel
shaped noses were clearly visible
close by.
While proceeding along under easy
sail the captain began practicing on the
sharks with his rifle, while Emmanuel
the mulatto. tried his skill with an old
fish harpoon, The captain finally
wounded one, and the whole school
turned on it as its blood began to flow
and terrible commotion began near
the vessel. To add to the confusion
Emmanuel struck big one, too, and its
frantic struggles, coupled with the
streams of blood that flowed from it's
wounds, soon brought up all the man

become very personal in their remarks.
Finally the life insurance agent jumps
up, seizes the drummer by the throat,

plunged round about the vessel, strik-

great pieces out of their sides. The
fight grew furious, the sharks jumping
out of the water and rushing at each
other with wide-open mouths, armed
with such ugly-looking sets of teeth, as,
the captain says, fairly made his blood

were engaged in the scrimmage, and

A Trick of a LAWYER.

A few days since a famous lawyer sat in
his shirt sleeves in his inner office, with his
feet on window sill and cigar in the
corner of his mouth, at 1890 in the morn
ing. People came to see him at short in
tervals and they were all told that he was
engaged at an important conference up
town, but that he would be at the office
between IL and /. At 10 o'clock the lawyer
had finished his cigars, got through with
the papers and narrowly escaped falling
asleep half dozen times. At the stroke
of the clock a remarkable change came
over him.
He pulled on an alpaca coat, brushed his
hair back from the bulging forehead, but
toned the coat up severely to the neck and
sat down in his consulting room, sur
rounded by ponderous tones and legal
documents. All the people who had been
to see him that day crowded into the office
at 10 o'clock and patiently waited for
chance to speak to the great man. All
were impressed by the tremendous rush of
business in hand The outer room was
crowded to suffocation. At l o'clock the
last of the callers had been disposed of and
the statement went forth that the lawyer
could see no one else until 10 o'clock the
next day. 1t is quite a trick and have no
doubt that it is practiced extensively

Little Emily's Version,

Little Emily belongs to a family where
there is great deal of talk about ''labor"
and ''the rights of the workingman." Her
father, who is respectable workingman
himself, once left place where he had
daily labor because the lady of the house
said to him, innocently; 'Your master
would like to have you clean out the fur
mace this morning."
II call no man MASTER" said the irate
workman, and thereupon demanded his
wages and departed.
Emily had heard this incident proudly
dilated on in many family council, and
had learned her lesson well. One morning
she sat on the front steps, playing with her
little dog, when gentleman approached.
"Ah, that's pretty dog!" said he

A WOman's Lovely Manner.

The value of beautiful manner is a
topic of never ending charm, just as the
beautiful manner itself is in life. A lovely
character expresses itself in no more de-
lightful way. One who is always thought
full of others in self forgetting way, who
has kindness and calm, has invariably
charm of manner which is helpful and in
spring to ali who see it. A lady came to
Boston on an important errand while
ago. She had three men to see for sigma
lures in matter of artistic Importance.
She gave herself two days to see them, but
she went about her business with so much
of quiet directness that, although they
were strangers whom she must see, the
matter was attended to, she was ready to
leave Boston and found herself with time
upon her hands, all within twenty-four
hours. "That woman ought to achieve
what she tries to do," said one of the men
whose signature was put to the valuable
paper. 'She did not stay in my Office three
minutes, yet she didn't fuss or hurry. She
has lovely calm. boston Transcript.

Paste for Scrap Books.

Take equal parts of gum arabic and gum
tragacanth and dissolve with enough
warm water so that it will be like thick
gloss starch. If on trial you find the paste
too thick to spread nicely with a small
brush, thin with more warm water, stirring
until it is smooth again. A small amount
of gum makes a lot of paste. Keep in a
large mouthed bottle that can be covered
tightly and it will keep for months; yes, a
year or more.
If it dries down hard or thick soak it up
with more warm water. A bottle of this
stuff is very handy during fruit season for
pasting labels on fruit cans or jars
In making scrap books the slips of paper
or pictures should be arranged on the page
before commencing to paste any, as they
will stick so quickly and so tightly that it
is not easy to make changes.
A little experience with this paste will
soon give you scrap book that will look
much prettier than the ones carrying the
marks of flour paste all through the leaves.

Suhstituta for Beef Tea.

DR.. Ris, of Kloten, emphatically recon-
mends pea soup as most serviceable sub
stitute for beef tea in the case of invalids,
convalescents, and more especially for pa
tients suffering from cancer of the stomach,
or diabetes mellitus. The method he ad-
vises is: Take peas, water and sufficient
amount Of some soup vegetables, add Il
per cent. of carbonate of soda, boiling the
whole until the peas are completely disin-
tegrated, the soup to stand until sedimen-
tation is complete, and finally decant the

The product is stated to resemble a good
meat soup in its taste, to be at least equal
ly dgestible, and at the same time to sur
pass the very best meat soup in nutritve
value. In regard to the latter claim DR..
Ris states in explanation that peas as we'll

the use of scent, owing to the introduction
of sprays and the like, increased every

Teach the Children to Save.

Teach the children to give away from
their own pennies and not come to papa's
pocket every Sunday morning. True gen.
erosity can easily begin then. Stimulate
them to save by offering to double every
dollar earned if it goes in the bank or for
some approved purpose. A child enjoys
the freedom of ever so small an amount,
and adding the knowledge that he has
really earned it makes him feel hundred
fold more manly than he whose wishes are
gratifed before they are spoken.-Good

A great many women are annoyed by
the rapidity with which braid wears off
their dress skirts. The best qualities of
skirt braid are finer. and often do not wear
as long as the cheaper, coarser ones. The
very best material for binding dress skirt
is bias band of good velvet put on as a
roll. 1t will outlast three pieces of worsted
braid, and, moreover, will save more than
its cost in saving fine walking shoes from
the wear on the instep caused by the fric-
tion of braid; this often causes the shoe to
be shabby here before any other part of it
is perceptibly worn.-Exchange.

A new process has been discovered for
making typewriter ribbons, which it is
claimed will revolutionize the manufact-
ure and sale of this class of goods. Type
writer ribbons as made now have only one
selvage, being cut from an ordinary piece
of cloth, and both edges treated with prep
aration which makes the fibers of the cloth
adhere together, thus preventing the raw
edges from raveling. 1t is claimed that
ribbons made in this way bag in the center,
clog the types and do not wear evenly The
