As to the stories of sharks, they are in the

within FIVE feet of me, and when | raised
my arm it darted off in such hurry that
the boiling of the water nearly threw me
off my feet. Of course, there may be cases
where a very large shark might attack a
diver; but if he should attack one wearing
the modern divers hamlet or armor, I
think the shark would have hard time of
hooper and glass would not make a
good mouthful '' said the diver laughing.
A friend of mine had funny expert
ence He was walking on sandy bottom,
when suddenly he was lifted upward, then
thrown backward, and but for his pike
would have fallen. For few seconds the
water was not clear Then he saw that
the cause of his upset was big skate that
had been lying partly buried in the sand
asleep, perhaps. He had stepped with his
ieaden shoes right ON his back.
Among the strange things that may be
seen by divers is the ocean forest, off the
eastern coast. The sandy bottom there is
covered with the hardened roots of great
trees, and in some instances parts of trunks
are standing, showing that the coast there
must have been settled, and that the sea
has rolled in over the land
Sometimes we go down at night, and
then the scene under water is often a
beautiful sight. Every jelly, fish and liv-
ing creature seems to be ablaze with light;
your rope appears to be on fire, and every
motion makes the water glimmer The
crabs and the fishes sparkle, many with a
light of their own. So, you see, instead
of being dark and barren place, as the
majority of the people seem to regard it,
the ocean, even at the greatest depths, is
probably made bright by the very animals
that most need the light From "a Sub
marine Ramble," by Charles Frederick
Holder, in St. Nicholas for May.

Alligators Growing Scarce.

The demand for full-grown alligators
for Northern museums and aquariums be-
gins with the warm days of the spring,
and many an alligator's retreat has been
carefully marked by the alligator catchers,
who, when the signs are ripe, will dig the
saurians out and sell them at 81 to 81 per
foot, according to the length of the an
imals, says the Savannah News.
The negroes loop ropes around the big
alligators and drag them out in triumph.
The alligatof'are said to be getting fewer
in the waters of this section, as they are
continually being hunted and killed from
the time they come out until they lay up
again for the Winter.
Hundreds of them are shot for the mere
sport of shooting, and no effort is made to
find them after they are shot. 1t is only

es and impenetrable swamps that they are

Farming to Pay Better.
7 Des Moines Register

Magazine writer's in the east estimate
that In about four years farming will pay
better, because our arabic land sGbstanti-
ally taken up and under tributs for our
markets, and population will increase
faster than production. This is not new
to western observers who have been look
ing around them for causes of low prices
of farm products. Our country increases
population at the rate of about 1000, 900 a
year, and this increase will of course be
accelerated. Production will not sensibly
increase until bette prices are paid to in
duce more application and better culture.
If our farmers had entire possession of
the home market it could be easily esti-
mated what the future would be, but ex-
ten ding commerce is ever reaching new
fields. and our market for many field pro-
buy over 100000, 900 of all kinds of field
crops: $3.50, 000,0 900 are estimated to com
pete with our farm crops. The great
organized forces of the land are commerce
and manufacturers, and public policies are
shaped to suit them, while farmers have to
take what comes. The Congo Free State in
Africa, the addition to civilized commerce.
viii soon be sending us something's
nothing else, the hides of the crocodiles to
compete with the skins of our bullocks
Awakening Mexico and the South Ameri,
can States will increase their exports to US
Still with all this, We are on the ground
and can produce things that cheap labor
abroad can not send here. Whatever is
excellent will be in greater demand and
the progressive farmer will get better
prices for it. We see no hope whatever o.
better prices for poor stuffs. The whea
area will not be exhausted in four wears
The corn sellers will not reform in fouI
years. The breeders of scrub stock viii
not all bethink themselves in four wears
Farmers are doing fairly we'll now VIII,
produce the best and get the best prices
That is the hope of the future. Get on tn,
upper shelves.

ESCAPED HIS PUNISHMENT.
A Desperate Rascal Escapes from Jail t
Newton. Ill.

Newton. Ill.
NEWTON, ILL.,, May 27.-W. E. Stone,
who was sentenced TO seven years in the
penitentiary for forging a note on farmer
bingham, of this county, for 500, es-
capped from Jail today. While the streets
and court yard were full of people he sue
ceeded in tearing sheet of iron covering
over the ceiling and climbed into the
loft, thence to a scuttle hole. where he
got to the floor and out of doors Stone
alias Durham, is also wanted at Paxton
for an $500 forgery on bank, and at
Rockford for like crime
Mr.. W. E. Stone is not very well known
in Rockford. In fact, SO far as known,
only one of Rockford's many people ever
saw him, and he is bank cashier. Stone
used to travel as cattle buyer He did
business in GAINESVILLE, where he bought
draft from a bank This he raised
and rushed to Beloit and had it cashed
before the arrival of the mail At
another bank in the Line City he bought
another draft which he also raised and
successfully presented to one of our oldest
financial houses. The police were sent
after him but he eluded their vigilance.
Stone is a shrewd as well as desperate
character. His latest exploit shows what
chances he will take for liberty. The
Rockford, Beloit and GAINESVILLE banks join
with Newton in the hope that he will
give the west a wide berth.

jacket and winter overcoat are prepared in
the same way. Have a row of hooks put
in the closet, very near the ceiling, SO that
the garments hang full length, and come
out in the fall with never a wrinkle. This
leaves room below them for another row
of hooks for shorter garments.

A Gander Avenges an Outrage.

A goose on the Lingle farm, near Har-
risburg, Pa, Matched out fine family of
goslings recently. She and her mate, an
imported gander, have been assiduous in
their attentions to the downy little yellow
things, but in spite of that big Norway
rat, hOrdes of whose kind infest the out
buildings on the farm, was smart enough
to elude the watchful eyes of the old goose
and gander, and day or so ago captured
one of the goslings and dragged it to his
lair under the barn. A few feet from the
barn is low horse trough which is kept
constantly full of water. There is hole
three inches in circumference under the
foundation of the barn, which is q runway
for rats, and it was to this the rat dragged
the gosling.
The two old geese INDUCED in noisy la
mentations for some time over the loss of
their little one, and then an idea seemed
to strike the gander. He and his mate
held a sort of confab in subdued tones, and
then they both became quiet. The gander
waddled up to the rat hole under the
foundation of the barn and took a posi-
ton at one side of it. He stood there mo-
tionlsss and patient, with his eyes fixed on
the hole. He had stood ten minutes or
more when the head of a rat was poked
out as far as the shoulders Quick as a
flash the gander hurled his head against
the rats and his strong bill closed over its
neck. The rat squealed and struggled,
but he couldn't get away The mother
goose set up a vociferous and triumphant
squawking, and the gander waddled as
fast as he could to the horse trough and
showed the rat under the water and held
him there until he was drowned. Then
the gander threw the carcass on the ground
and the two old geese picked and tore it
until it was scattered in bits about the
barnyard. Whether the rat was the one
that kidnapped the gosling is of course not
known, but the geese were satisfied with
their vengeance, and after tearing the
dead rat to pieces joyfully conducted their
family of goslings to the duck pond and
gave them their first exercise in swim
ming.--New York Sun.

Packed in a Cracker Box.

WAUsAw, Wis, May 27.-District At
torney Eldred was called to Dancy, about
20 miles below this city, last evening to
investigate the finding of body of a
woman at that place. The body was in a
bad state of decomposition, being discon-
nected at the joints and packed in cracker
box. Around it was shavings and chlorate
of lime. From appearances the woman
has been dead over year, as the flesh
was nearly ali off the bones. The affair is
shrouded in deepest mystery and foul play
is suspected.
