He Didn't Sing.

At recent social event in the coun- try there was present dignifed and very slender young man from town who, it was easy to see, had very good opinion of himself. A not altogether fattering reputation, acquired by his alleged tenor voice, had preceded him to the back woods, and soon after his arrival he was surrounded by bevy of mlschievous rustic maidens, who begged him for song. Like many young sing CTS he needed much persuasion While the girls insisted, an old farmer, who had been standing near by for some time, suddenly cried out: ''Sing for 'em, young man. know you kin sing you've got legs so much like a mawkin' birds" He did not sing.-Pensacola News.

 Relieve It or Not, Your Faith Is In
 Sharks and Men.
 You landlubbers of to-day area cyn- ical lot of people" And Commodore Tyrrell, in his righteous indignation, began to berate the scribe for daring to dispute the yarn, which is left to the reader to digest and absorb as he sees fit
 "Away back in the month of Novem- Der, in the year 1884, before the war was over, was serving on the good ship Metacomet. We had been moving southward into the Campeachy banks, where red snappers abounded by the million. The schools of these fishes were often miles in length, and with hook and line we stood at the boats side all day catching them by the hun dred, using only large chunks of pork for bait. No sooner would the bait strike the water than the big fish would swallow it, only the next mo- nent to be landed on the deck. The heads were cut off and the fish packed in barrels. We filled on an average of thirty barrels day. The heads were then thrown back into the water, and this naturally drew sharks. One day the boats'n, Billy Wilson, was told to make a big hook with which to capture shark. It was fastened to the lead line and baited with a siX-pound chunk of pork. Far out in the water it was thrown for the shark to swallow, and, sure enough, in a moment the line be- gan running out at a speed that soon required the application of water to save it from scorching. When it came to a sudden stop Wilson and Gill, the sailmaker, began to tire out the fish by taking in the line. At last, when 1t was within ten feet of the vessel, vol ley of rife bullets was poured into it. In an instant the shark turned again and made a dart, jerking the line from the mems hands and throwing them overheard. Away and away it went, and the work of tiring it out was again begun. When a second time the large white body was exposed to view num- Der of volleys were fired into it, even Capt. Jewett taking a hand from the hurricane deck.
 "'Al hands, up shark
 1.-The command rang out and one hundred men with willing hands seized the line, the next instant landing the shark on the deck with louder noise than if a fve-pound gun had been dis mounted. Well, we cut that shark open, and in the stomach we found an old boot, tin can and about bushel of fish heads. When the jaws were propped open and the mouth was dis tended it was big enough to allow nine-year-old boy to walk in without stopping. That fish measured over six teen feet in length. and we cut it up and weighed it in sections. It counted up over two thousand pounds. Those were the days, tell you. u."-Cincinnati Tribune.

 Reservoirs. s.

The above cut illustrates an AUTOMATIC WATER GATE, to regulate and keep in subjection the rise ot water in canal, due to an over-abund
 ant b9w, or to sudden rises in the canal owing to severe rains or storms.
 It is particularly valuable to have such q Water
 Gate placed in lower bank of canal at such points along its line Where there are Rayines Gullies. Arroyos, Foot Hills, Buttes, or Tableland, as any
 rams or storms bring down at such points surplus of water that is very dangerous to the banks of canal. Tie Waste Gate, however, will prevent such damage, as it is
 SELF-ACTING AND PERFECT SAFETY VALVE Relieving the canal at short intervals of it's sur plus water, thus preventing the washing away of banks, and causing great damage generally no alone to canal, but property owners all clonG the line, who may suffer more or less damages there after for the want of water owing to the damaged cond ion of canal, and while such repair are bein0 made Not only is it valuable to relieve canal of its surplus water, to prevent damage and ex- pense, but by its use the first cost of canal con structon will be materially lessened as the banks need not be made so high or wide
 . The device is extremely simple, and compara- lively inexpensive Its plan of operation is this:
 There IS a pipe fastened to an opening in the vertical gate, l. When the body of water rises to the level of the upper end of pipe, g. water runs freely into the tank, g. which is immediately filled thus overbalancing the weight f. which is on the other end of lever, 5, thus forcing open the gate which suddenly relieves the canal of a large sur plus of water. When body of water recedes below certain .evel, no more water is admitted to the tank; therefore empties itself by small faucet opening, 6, at the bottom; this being done. the weight overbalances tank, and brings down the lever, which, being rigid to the swinging gate closes it. This operation continues at short in tervals, so long the body of water keeps rising over certain level The lever gate nine and tank are all rigid, and hinge, or pivot, on bori zontal shaft The gate, Hume or bsx can be made any height width, or length desired The gate can be hinged between any bulkhead without box1
 The Water Gate is Perfect Safety Valve, and is to body of water what safety valve is to steam, They can be made any size, corresponding with body of water and size of canal It is secured bv letters patent, and for sale only by

people, thus producing new popular dIsconj
tent. The Government permitted the local
officials to contend with the instruction until
their inability TO control it became manifest,
when on May 3 a body Of about ! 900 troops
armed with foreign rifles and q battery of
machine guns, were despatched in the Govern
ment steamers Chang Yong and Han Yang
from Chemulpo to the scene of disturbance.
Only one engagement of these troops with
the enen has been reported, i'll which they
are said to have suffered a SMALL loss III Killed
and o large one in desertlon. Their machine
guns are said to nave fallen into the enenly's
hands, and they themselves are penned up IN
the provincial capital, Chonju. Further
TT, ops are about to be despatched. Which
ever side triamphs trouble and disater threaten
the nation. fhe people in arms are the food
proodcers of the country; they have deliber-
ately given up tilling the soil; and to show
how desperate their purpose is they have
flooded two of the largest and most famous
ce-bearing sections of the country. The
attempt at this time is manifestly not i sud
den purpose formed for an unexpected
emergency, but a plan which has been
cherished for a long time. The leaders, who
ever they may be, are apparently men of
power and courage. They secure o supply
Of foreign arms and ammunition before
beginning the fight, have q small force of
cavalry, and have evidently prepared for It
long contest. No definite results have been
obtained by either side beyond the fact that
so far the Government has been unable
to suppress the rising. The insurgents
move slowly and announce that they
purpose to conquer the south before moving
on the north. The struggle promises to be d
bitter and probably Il long one, and may lead
to foreign complications. In Japan public
feeling is much excited, as is shown by this
comments of the Press OH the assassination Of
Kim-ok-Kiur, "a Korean political refugee whom
Japan had long sheltered, but who was lured
to his death in Shanghai TIMES.

Switzerland in the old. It's snow its woods,

there will be unbrokeH inland navigation on
