While waiting for barrels of molasses
to fall into the river the sharks devour
so many fish that the fishermen have been

tried to snare the sharks with pork He
had Il large steel hook made, on which be
put five pounds of meat and then tied it
with a line to the pier. He caught many
soft-shell crabs but no sharks.
Now the Curtis bay folk are talking of
using live dogs as bait. 1t is notorious
that Il shark will risk his life for "a live
dog, even if he is yellow and without a
pedigree. There is plenty of material at
the bay in the shape of worthless dogs.
The scheme is to hide the hook behind
the animal so that the shark won't see it.
William Lowry, a shark fisherman, says
that he never saw so many of them in his
life. They round up the fish under the
sugar refinery pier and then wait for

fish are afraid to leave their retreat So
the fish starve to death and their bodies
float out to the smiling sharks. Lowry
says that if the dog-bait scheme is not
put into operation the fishermen will have
to wait until the porpoises come. up the
river. Then there will be great fights
between the two kinds of marine mon

Lust Dance.

DR.. Dewitt of the army used to tell in
Vulnerable stories of his experiences, and
most of them related to time when he
was stationed at a post down on the
Mexican frontier. He was popular
down there, and deservedly so, for he ut
tended the sick for miles around. One
time his Mexican friends determined t.
do him honor. Accordingly they ar,
ranged Il great ball. Dr.. and Mrs. De.
witt were invited and they went, the two
of them: The ball began early, as Mexi,
can balls do, and the surgeon and his
wife danced in the first set. They
danced in nearly every set, in fact, for
politeness forbade refusal, and after two
hours of it they began to be very tired.
They were the guests of honor. indeed.
Time wore on and still the dance went
on. 1t went on all night Finally, DIR.
Dewitt called one of the men aside and
asked him W hen in heasen's name. the
thing was going to be over. sz i

Beneath the Finger Nails.

There is something more than beauty
and attractiveness to be considered in
caring for the, finger nails. Beneath
them is q space which forms a resting
place for bacteria. Bactcriologists have
found score or more of different kinds
of organisms under the nails, many of
them harmless, it is true, but some of
them exceedingly dangerous to health
and life. Since they are microscopic
in SIZE. no one ean tell whether they
ore innocent or harmful, or, indeed,
whether they are present or absent.
Since a pin prick sutfices to convey
into the human system enough of the
most poisonous germs Of disease to. cause
death. it is easy to understand what
evil results may follow scratch with d
germ-laden finger nail. An idea has gone
abroad that the danger lies in being
scratched by another person; but since
the trouble is due to bactera and not
to any poison residing in the nail itself,
1t is easy, to see that a self-inflicted
scrach may be rs bad MS any other.
Many Instances are recorded where q
slight wound, like the prick Of a needle
under the nail, has been the means Of
introducing the germs which cause That
painful trouble known as 5Whitlow or
felon. Es ss.5 ~ 5Sgs 4 ....

A private letter received at Portland,

arrival of the two miners from Yakitat.
Smith and Campbell, at Juneau, with
$50 ounces of dust as the result of thirty
four days work, has caused excitement,
and a number of miners arc outfitting
for the Yakitat sands.
The person receiving the letter was in
former years Il resident of Alaska, and
has visited the Yakitat bay. He says:

indentations in the coast between Cape
Spencer and Yakitat, known as Fresh

mile of which the first of the black sand
deposit is found is situated at the head
of Il fairly sheltered harbor into which
empties a turbulent glacial stream called
the Yakitat river, although it is next to

Baltimore Found 1t an Improbable Re-
lninder of Loss. VT
The Inscription and flood line on the
stone i'll front of the MARYLAND institute
were. era sed on Thursday by order Of
the managers of the institutes. The man-
fiood mark was detrimental to the inter>
ests OF property owners in the neighbor>
hood. 1T was argued by those who have
teen urging the erasttre for many years
that strangers were shy of buying prop
ertr in the locality, as the Hood mark
suggested to them the possibility of H.
recurrence. 1t is said that one out-of-
chase property in the neighborhood, when
he accidentally saw the piece, of marble
indicating how high the water had risen
during the flood. He asked some cues,
tons. and the sale was not made. Prop
erty holders have also objected to the
presence of the stone. The stone re,

The flood occurred Oh July "a, 1868,
when a raging torrent FROM Jones' Falls

extreme height. Over 1000 cellars and

The flood spread over an area of two

In 1868 Jones' Falls was not confined
and had ~ full sweep. A heavy rain
caused the stream to overflow it's banks.
Since then millions of dollars have been
spent in building walls of the stoutest
masonry all the way along the falls on
both sides, and as far north as Union
station. The flood of 1880, when Johns
town, Penn. was swept away, was
much greater here in Baltimore than was
the flood Of 1868, yet Jones' Falls was
confined to it's bed. and its surface was
many feet below the top of the walls.
