NO FUN CATCHING SHARKS

With All Their Reputation for Ferocity
They Make Very Tame Sport.
Trout and stream.l
As game fishes the sharks do not, think,
stand high; the most common of them, the
dusky shark, when hooked, circles round on
the surface and usually bites off the line and
escapes. If SO hooked that the line cannot
be cut, the struggle is furious and short, the
shark giving up in much less time than
game fish of half his size, such as channal
bass, salt water trout or snapper would do.
I once hooked a shark about feet long
which fought longer than usual, and when
brought to gaff he was found to be hooked
in a side fin, so that he retained his full
powers. So also with the hammer-head.
The shovelnosed shark I have found to be
the most active of them. The nurse shark
lies on the bottom, and its bite is not felt or
its presence known to the angler till he
raises his rod, then the fish comes up like a
log, without resistance.

Bound to BE a Hard Winter.

Of5o ears of corn in Missouri in no case
were there less than layers of husks
and one had 10, says the St. Louis Globe
Democrat The husks for two years past
have been remarkably thin, and this sudden
change bodies no good. 1t has also been
noted that the squirrels have laid up this
fall much greater store of nuts and graf n
than usual, which is another unfavorable
sign A friend who has faith in the goose
bone says it is black from top to bottom,
which is also bad. So, on the whole, the
signs point to o severe winter.

adopting metric system in weights and

to legalize the use OF the system at the

100 men and women gathered at night about
band of musicians stationed at a corner of
the Faubourg St. Antoine singing the Ian
gushing 'Valse des Yeux." The blazing
torch, the twanging guitar, the passionate
music, the dark faces of the hard ork ed
men, the reckless ones of none too-innoceut

framed in black or white caps, made scene

The story OF the gospel makes 1t possible
for US to-day, If we will study it, to live with
Christ as Andrew lived with Him. To every
one of US temptation comes 1t came to
Andrew, the temptation to deny Christ, to
forsake Him, to turn our backs upon Him, to
be ashamed of the cross, to be afraid of the
world. ALI Joy and sorrow, all benediction
and bereavement, every crisis that comes
into any human life, is an evidence OF
Christ,s presence, and a chance to find
Christ, anew and better, if we will-or to
lose Christ. Every year Christ ought to be
better known by lis, ought to mean more to
us, ought to be more and more our example,
our Inspiration, our helper, our comforter,
our Savior.
Twenty years after the resurrection, st.
Paul. who had spent all that time in learn
ing about C,Irist and teaching about Christ
even then felt the possibility OF knowing
Christ better than he did. THAT l may
know Him." was his daily prayer, his daily
longing and endeavor. Paul wac still oc-
cupied in finding Christ.
One day we hope to see Him face to face,t to
see him, not rs now We blunderingly. imagine
Him TO be, but as He really is. oh what
finding of Christ then! And yet even that
will be but u new beginning. To find Christ,
to know Christ, more and more to learn the
spirit OF Christ-this will be the Christians
study and the Christians delight to all
eternity. GEORGE HODGES.

There are no red tape and official eaptious-
ness about this The sole condition OF pay
ment of the money is that the child shall
produce a certificate OF school attendance,
providing it be able to attend school. OF
these two classes there are at the present
time $50 children In the orphanage, and
nearly the same number on the outdoor
list. An idea Of the expenditure for SO
great and practical charity can be had
from the fact that the annual cost of main
tanning each child in the orphanage is q
triAe over $50, and the annual expense upon
each child in the outdoor relief class, in
Guiding cash allowance and clothing, is S4O.
About $500 children have been cared for in
one or the other of these two ways since the
organization of the charity.
Noble as has been the work accomplished,
the need Tor the extension is pitifnl in
deed. l have not the figures at hand
as to the loss of American seamen;
but the returns from the English Board
OF Trade are appalling in their evil
dence of loss of life at sea; for they show
that in the 10 years following the establish
ment of this orphanage, no less than s., ,920
seamen died in English ships abroad, of
whom 81, ,156 were drowned. The eloqaence
of all these simple facts appear stirringly
to every tender heart. The improyidence

The Various Styles Of Cutting.


In the showroom of the mandatory al
luded to i saw in comparatively small space
upward of $4,000 worth of this beautiful
ware, and upon a single table perhaps
5000 worth, embracing an almost be-
wildering array of articles and a wide
variety of STYLES in cutting, each having a
Distinguishing name. There are ice cream
and salad sets, fruit dishes and score of
other articles in the cut known as the
'Parisian;" vases, fancy dishes, bon-bon
trays, ETC., in the "hobnaiP' cut; punch
bowls, glass-handled ladies to match, cups
goblets and many more things in the "bril-
1iante" cut, and there are cut glass call
bells which give forth a very musical
tinkle. Articles of especial richness are
ponderous table lamps Of cut glass through
odt, with dome shades of the same material,
and q line of ornamental dishes, rose bowls,
vases, ETC., in what is known as the
Russian" stem ware. There are also
flower vases, decanters, water bottles, jugs,
cologne bottles, and an almost endless pro-
fusion of other vessels in the princess"
and the comparatively new "tusk" and
Flemish" styles of cut. Late successes
are known as "the American" and the
Kimberly" styles of cut
The goods are comprised in three general
lines or classes, known to the trade as ''rieh
cut table and toilet glass, >" druggists
and lamp goods" Almost daily new de-
signs in the form of articles and modifca-
tons 10 the styles of cutting are brought
out, and crystal is to a considerable degree
displacing both silver and china, although
it is almost as costly as the best grade of
either of those luxurious accessories of the
