Lively Fight with a Shark.

William Muller, an attorney of Deni-
son, Tex, had an experience with a
man-eating shark at Rockport, in the
gulf. 81 hired small sailboat," said
Mr.. Muller in relating his unpleasant
experience, "and was out some distance
from land when baited my hook and
cast it out. used a new clothesline,
100 to $50 feet long. for cord, and the
hook was quite large, probably 6 to z
inches long. / felt jerk and in an in
slant the line was under the boats rud-
der. 1 asked the boatman to reverse
the sail in order that the line could be
cleared. l was oblivious to all except
the big fish, and as the boom swung
around it caught me on the back be-
tween the shoulders. l was tumbled
overheard head foremost in the water,
some 40 to 30 feet deep. AS struck
the water the fish that I had caught, a
man-eating shark, laid hold of the calf
of my right leg. The pain was fearful
and felt myself jerked rapidly down
toward the bottom of the sea. In my
fall did not relax my hold on the line,
and as soon as realized my position
knew that my life depended on my
ability to hold to the cord. The strug-
gle I know was not long but to me it
seemed like an age. The cord was fas-
tened to beam in the boat and inch by
inch 1 gained on my antagonist, and as
soon as l appeared on the surface the
boatmen came to my assistance. The
shark retained its grip on my leg until
my body was entirely out of the water,
and even then it did not let go until the
boatman knocked it off with an oar.
When was safely on the inside. how
ever, we pulled for the shore, and as
my hook was securely fastened in the
mouth of the shark no trouble was ex-
perienced in landing the fish. 1t was

Rice Planting in Japan.

The people were busy putting out
their Young rice plants, and the fields
were full of men and women, wearing
their "kasa" and straw coats, oiled pa
per. rush mats, OF other contrivances to
keep off the rain. and working in mud
and water halfway up to their knees.
1t is surely the dirtiest and most labor
ious form of agriculture; the work is
almost entirely done by manual labor
with a spade and a heavy four-pronged
rake, though | occasionally saw a cow
or a pony, with little thatched roof on
its back to shoot off the rain, drag ging
a sort of harrow through the mud. As
soon as the spring crop OF barley or
rape-seed is garnered and hung up to
dry, the ground is 'trenched with the
spade, and water is turned over it until
it has become a soft slush which is
worked level with the rake.
TbeTyoung rice plants, grown thick
together in nursery patches, are pulled
up when the fields are ready for plant
ing. their roots are washed and they
are tied in bundles, which are thrown
into the mud and water; then the men
and women wade in, unite a bundle,
and set the seedlings in lines by just
pressing them with their fingers into
the mud They do this wonderfully
quickly, and can plant eight OF nine in
a row without moving from their places;
when the field is all planted it looks
like pond with ii delicate green haze
over it. The dividing banks are plant
ed with beans or other vegetables, so
that not a yard of ground is wasted.

One of the smartest, shrewdeSt busi-
ness women in New York, able to push
her trade at minimum of effort, is The
old newswoman at the corner of Forty
second street and Seventh avenue, the
junction of Broadway and Seventh ave-
nue., and the thriving stand is situated
at the Seventh avenue corner, says the
N. Y. Herald.
1t is bleak. unprotected corner, and
the old woman finding it too exposed
has taken her stool under the shelter of
an opposite Broadway store. This is
far. enough off not to know where to
look for her if needs be and affords an
apparently good opportunity for dis
honest persons to cheat, yet the old
woman never loses a cent. She has
learned from her distant niche to size
people up pretty well and is on hand
pretty promptly if she suspects unfair
play.
A lady last Sunday wanted to buy a
paper, but had nothing less than 25
cents. Looking up and down and
around about and seeing nobody in
charge of the stand she decided after
some moments waiting that she would
have to let the paper go. AS she turned
away WIGuOuO Ii ZIG 1OuNA CdA1
from the cubbyhole niche at the oppo-
site corner and could see the old woman
bidding her in pantomime to take the
paper along. In pantomime also she
replied, indicating that she couldn't as
she hadn't got the money. Then the
old woman hobbled forward in haste
and began to give the conscientious
lady good sound rating.
"Ain't you foolish" she said, "and
bothersome to bring me over here when
you might just as well take that paper
along?"
"But 1 had no change" said the lady.
"Well, what of that? Couldn't you
leave it the next time you were pass
ing?"
"But I'm a stranger. Why should
you trust me to do any such thing?"
"That's all right. know why. Don't
you think can tell honest folk from
over therep 1 know the other kind,
too, right quick. Next time pick up
| your paper and pay whenever you
come past again. Don't drag me over
here for nothing. It's enough, with
my rheumatism, to scramble over here
after the cheats"

CLEANLINESS IN SURGERY.
1t Is Absolutely Essen tial-Three Loca.
tions Treated Before Operation.

There are three locations, so to speak,
the absolute cleanliness of which must be
above suspicion before the operator is
justified in proceeding to his work.
These are the surgeons hands, his in
struments, and the integument covering
the part of the patients body at which
the operation is about to be performed,
says the Nineteenth Century. How is
the requisite cleanliness in each case Sc
cured? So far as the hands are con-
cerned, by profuse scrubbing with
nail brush in soap and hot water, fol-
lowed by a thorough drenching in some
antiseptic solution, as that of l part in
1000 of perchloride of mercury; so far
as the instruments are concerned, by
sterillizing them-that is. by boiling
in water, or by passing them through the
flames of spirit lamp or placing them
in steam sterilizer, and then, when the
operator is ready to begin, by putting
them into receptacle containing an
antiseptic solution, as, for example, that
of carbolic acid. Lastly, so far as the
patients integument is concerned, by
washing the part first thoroughly with
soap and water, having previously
shaved it if necessary, and afterward
with a perchloride of mercury solution,
or, if the part be greasy, by removing
all the greasy material by scrubbing it
with ether.
Without going into further details,
these are the cardinal precepts of the
science of operating in the present day.
Of course, each wound which in this
manner is made under aseptic condi-
tions, as it is called, is kept aseptic by
0f
healing has taken place. The results of
this method of treatment of wounds are
nothing less than wonderful in compar-
ison with those of which the earlier sur
geons were able TO obtain. What hap
pens after, say, the amputation of a
limb nowadays? The rule is-nothing.
Nothing-that is to say, beyond the
uneventful convalescence of the pa
tient.
The dressings are not touched, unless
the temperature and the pulse of the pa
tient indicate, by some disturbance, that
it would be expedient to examine the
wound. The temperature and the pulse
are the surgeons guide; he takes his
cue from them. Nothing can be amiss
in the wound if these remain normal,
and thus it follows that large wound,
such as that following an amputation,
heals soundly from first to last without
any suppuration. What a contrast with
that which obtained in former daysg
Suppuration was then thought to be an
Indispensable part of the healthy process
of healing. In the present time, on the
contrary, surgeon is held to have fail
ed in his practice of the principles OF
surgical cleanliness if, in wounds, orig
inaIly aseptic suppuration occurs.

SLAUGHTER OF TREES.
Going on Constantly at the Rate of 81
100000 Acres Annually.

1t is estimated that s. 900, 900 acres of
forest land are cleared every year, and
that in the ten years previous to 1876,
Il, 600, 900 acres were burned over SIM
ply to clear the land. Ten years ago it
was estimated that the timber of New
York was disappearing at the rate of
$50, 900 acres a year. Since then laws
have been passed which have restrained
to some extent the woodman's ak, but
it is still welded far too freely.
The forests are the natural friends
and protectors of the earth and of man.
They not only minister to the esthetie
part of mans nature by stimulating
and feeding his sense of beauty but
they also have practical uses and val
ues which may not safely be ignored.
Some of the direst calamities that have
befallen the countries of the Old World
may be traced to the destruction of for
ests, and many diseases that swept away
great multitudes of human beings, and
that were accounted divine yisitations, !"
may doubtless be traced to- the same
cause.
The warning given this country by
George P. Marsh many, years ago, in
his work entitled "Man and Nature, !"
and by others who have given careful
study to this subject, has not been
wholly in vain. A reactionary move
ment has already begun, and its good
results are visible in many quarters.
Perhaps it is not too much to hope that
our friends and protectors, the trees of
the forest, which have for us so many
precious uses-keeping full the streams
and rivers, lessening the heat of sum
mer and the cold of winter, guarding
the fields against ruinous floods and
freshets, offering a shelter and pleas
ure ground to the we'll and a perfect
sanitarium to the sick-will be pre-
served from further ruthless destruc-
ton for the joy and blessing of this and
future generations Boston Transcript.

He Was Coming Down Anyway.

Terrence Murphy was such good
carpenter that he was rarely without
employment. Moreover, he was so
thoroughly good natured and so invari-
ably ready to make the best of his occa-
sional misfortunes that his fellow-work-
men declared him the most popular man
in the trade.
One Saturday, toward the tired end
of the day, Terrence was shingling the
roof of new house. Suddenly his foot
slipped and he fell to the ground. AS
the house was low the fall was not long,
yet he lay so motionless that the other
men ran to him quickly, believing the
worst had happened. just as they
reached him he opened his eyes and
grinned.
"Are you much hurt, my boy?" asked
one of the men tenderly.
Terrence grunted.
"That was bad fall, Terrence"
The unfortunate fellow drew breath.
"Och, niyer moind," he said. "Oi
was coming down after nails, anyway"

Married curates Need Not Apply.

Marriage seems great failure in the
case of curates. One of them writes of
the sad lot of his class as follows: "When
Wears in charge of fashionable suburban
parishes insist on having only young
and unmarried curates, it may, in the
opinion of mere worldly men, be very
nice for the girls, but is it very good
for the church? Why do married Wears
advertise for unmarried curatesP Are
their own marriages all failures? My
case is common one. l am a curate
and want work. But am too old be-
ing no less than 81 years old and am
married, so, of course, must stand
aside. That have enough income to
live on is lucky for me but does not
alter the case. My father served as a
curate nearly all his life and I thought
I might at least be permitted to do the
same, but the action of the bishops in
ordaining men wholesale during the last
twenty-five years has enabled the ma
iority of Wears to reject all, who like
myself, are old or married, and so we
are left in the sad position of your hum

CLEVER WORK OF AN ocuLlsT.
How Damage Suit Was Defeated
Through Little knowledge of Optics.

Here is an interesting account of
very clever bit of detective work by an
oculist. 1t appears that in a large fac
tory, in which were employed several
hundred persons, one of the workmen,
in welding his hammer, carelessly al
lowed it to slip from his hand. 1t flew
half way across the room and struck
fellow workingman in the left eye. The
man averred that his sight was blinded
by the blow, although careful exam
ination failed to reveal any injury, there
being not scratch visible. He brought
a suit in the courts for compensation for
the loss of half of his eyesight, and re-
fused all offers of compromise.
Under the law, says the Sheffield
(England) Telegraph, the owner of the
factory was responsible for an injury
and although he believed that the man
was shamming and that the whole case
was an attempt at swindling, he had
about made up his mind that he would
be compelled to pay the claim. The
day of the trial arrived, and in open
court an eminent oculist retained for
the defense examined the alleged in
jured member and gave it as his opin-
ion that it was as good as the right eye.
Upon the plaintiffs loud protest of his
inability to see with his left eye, the oc-
ulist proved him perjurer and satisfied
the court and jury of the falsity of his
claim.
And how do you suppose he did itP
Why, simply by knowing that the col
ors green and red combined make
black. He procured black card on
which a few words were written with
green ink. Then the plaintiff was or
dered to put on pair of spectacles with
two different glasses, the one for the
right eye being red and the one for the
left eye consisting of ordinary glass.
Then the card was handed him and he
was ordered to read the writing on it.
This he did without hesitation. and the
cheat was at once exposed. The sound
right eye, fitted with the red glass, was
unable to distinguish the green writing
on the black surface of the card, while
the left eye, which he pretended wa:
sightless, was the one with which the
reading had to be done.
