ABOUT HANMOCKS.
How They Should be Hung to Be
Comfortable.

Very few people know how to swing
them, and, as the time for their out
door use has come, a hint on this sub
ject may be of use. AS an authority
informs us, the head should be about
six and a half feet from the ground
and the foot end about three and
three quarters feet, curve which Sc
cures to the occupant the greatest
possible ease of position The foot
rope should be about three times as
long as the head rope. the purpose be-
ing to give the lower part of the body
freedom in swinging, while the head
remains comparatively stationary The
ropes with metal chateS are to be
preferred and can be bought cheap at
any hardware store.
Where trees are used to support the.
rope bearings the branches should be
well protected by heavy canvas or
cloth, as the friction is apt to wear off
the bark and so work injury to the
tree. White hammocks, made OF
bleached cord. can be trimmed with
ruffies of webbing, which are cheap
and effective. Wherever it is possible
to use it the hammock in summer
should take the place of the sofa or
lounge. This can be done ON galleries
or wide piazzas. Indeed, in the winter
season hammocks can be hung in an
invalids room and are preferred by
to easy chairs or even to a
bed, where the patient can stand
slight moving.

Last month huge octopus was caught
that had a spread Of nearly twenty
two feet, and now what is said to be
the largest shark ever taken in North
ern Pacific waters has been captured
in this locality.
The bay has long been famous asa
fishing station, and several Chinese
and Portuguese fishing settlements
have grown up here. The fisheries are
carried on by Seines to a large extent,
and in a comparatively delicate net
this monster was enmeshed. The men
set the seine at night and in the
morning found that it had diSap-
peared. The assumption was that a
whale possibly had fouled it. but after
considerable search part of the net
was deserted on the surface held up by
a tangled mass Of floats. This was
hauled in, and to the fishermen's
amazement some enormous body was
found wound in it. It took several
hours to unroll it, and finally, when
the coils Of the net had been pulled
aside, a shark appeared that was at
least forty feet in length, by all odds
the largest fish ever seen by any Of
the fishermen or any habitue of Cali
fornia waters.
The monster had run into the bay
during the night. and been caught in
the net, and would, in all proba bility,
have gone completely through it had it
not been demoralized at the contact.
It undoubtedly began a series of ter
rife lounges, and rolled over and ever,
completely entangling itself in the net
which proved its shroud The big fish
was fairly trapped, and was easily
mastered and tOwed to the shore. 1t
was landed in the surf, where it pre-
sented a most striking appearance.
From a distance it might have been
taken for a whale, so enormous We're
its proportions.
The shark if a man-eater, might
have dined upon twenty men, but it
was a harmless variety known as the
basking shark, Cethorinus. Its mouth
is large, indeed, enormous, but the
throat is so small that only the small
est animals can be eaten. Thus the
big shark lives upon such food as
jelly-fsheS and various pelagic ami
mails. 1t has habit Of floating at the
surface-eXposing its back to the sun,
and is often taken for whale. In
deed, the resemblance between this gil
gantic fish and it's milk-giving ally,
SO far as size is concerned, does not
end here. The whale is the largest
Of living creatures, and obtains its
food by straining minute animals into
it's stomach through rows of bone
the WhalebOne of commerce. On the
gills of the big shark are curious
fringeS of bone something like that of
the whale, which serve a similar pur-
pose. The shark probably opens its
mouth and ruShes into schools Of
small fishes, straining the water out
through the fringes of bone, the lat
ter catching the food which passes into
the throat
The Monterey shark ruined valu-
able seine, but was worth $500 or $500
as a specimen, as no museum in the
world has a large and perfect one.
The skin will probably be preserved
for some institution of science.-Mon-
terey Correspondence New York Post.

WAS TERRIBLY TARRED.

Colorado Springs, June 26.-Gen.
Tarsney, the abducted attorney gen.
eral, was badly tarred, and still more
dazed, but not seriously hurt. Physi-
clans succeeded in removing every
particle of the coal tar. From his neck
down there remains no trace of his
experiences beyond an occasional
abrasion of the skin.
His face, however is infamed and
blistered because of the kindly-in-
tended services of a woman who re-
moved the tar from the face, neck and
hair by the use of coal OIL

RpNrp1cr ARNoLp,s LASH YEARS


The last twenty years OF the life OF
Benedict Arnold were probably the most
unhappy that ever fell to the lot OF
man. The British were willing to use
him to promote their own plans and to
pay him for his disgraceful services,
but everywhere he was held In suoh
scorn and contempt that for years he
scarcely ventured to appear in public
life. Before his treachery he stipulated
for a fortune in cash and a commission
as major general in the British army.
He got both, and soon spent the for
mer in speculation, while the latter did
him no good, as no officer in the army
would serve under him; and although
his talents and bravery were unqueS-
toned. he remained to the end of his
days general without command, even
1t a time when the British government
was sorely pressed for officers and men.
In 1893, during the French war, when
the country was anxiously gathering all
its resources, he applied to the Duke
Of York for a command, but was re-
fused.
He went homo in despair, and said to
his wife: "They will not let me find a
soldiers death" He never rallied after
this blow, and soon after his mind APP
peared to wander He ordered his cons
tinental uniform to be brought, and put
1t on, including the sword he had worn
when in the American service, and 80
he died, raving maniac in 1901, at his
residence in London.

THE HOMELESS BOY.

The mothers who are getting their
little ones ready for Sunday school this
morning no doubt would shed copious
tears and hug their darling boys close
60 their hearts If they thought it possi-
ole that some time in the near future
those boys would be left alone In the
| world, and the only person to prepare
them for Sunday school, If prepared
they were at all, would be police Off
Ger, and the place of preparation the
Office of city jail
This Is the case with the bright little
boy, Arthur Fallon, in whom Capt. Hal
lock has taken such an interest, and
who has no home and nowhere to sleep
except upon the lounge in the waiting
room of our city prison. where at any
| dine of the day or night he may be
disturbed by such prisoners as are
brought In, Capt. Hallock, who is a
good judge of human nature, says Ar
thur is bright boy, and has all the
elements of good man. The little fell
lows school booios, consisting of a
fourth reader and copy-book, show
him to be well advanced in his studies,
good penman, and, for his age, scholar
that any mother might be proud TO have
her son equal.
The boy stated to n reporter that he
had attended the Cedar street school,
and q call on his teacher Miss Dealey,
was made Miss Dealey stated that he
was never absent except on account Of
sickness, that his department was ex,
cellent. and his school habits were also
good, and that she dlsliked TO lose him
as scholar,
He is a handsome boy, and II he is II
his looks deceive one, though his school
books indicate that he was advanced to
the grade of pupils of that age,
When attention is called to the boys
case people shake their heads and say;
"They ought TO do something for him. ;"
The question naturally rises to the re-
porters lips; who is 'They?'" but be-
fore he can make the inquiry the per-
son with whom he is talking has moved
on and the question remains unan-
swered.
II this reaches the eyes Of They" Il
is to be hoped call win be made on
Capt. Hallock. and that he win be as
sited in his efforts to find good home
for the poor boy before It is too late.
