The true woman, the true man, with
soul sensitivet to the delicate influence
of that higher soul within the soul,
shrinks from publicity. The personal
ity is more sacred than the person.
Both would be shielded from the pub
lie gaze. When woman chooses pub
lie career, in whatsoever capacity, she
is too often compelled to lay bare her
very soul to the idle, curious eye of a
jeering mob. to cast her finest sensi-
bilities to the earth for the rabble to
trample. 1t may be her duty to make
this sacrifice. but 1t Is none the less a
sacrifice. and though there is COM
pensation in added strength there is a
loss for which no amount of strength
can make amends. Woman must al
ways pay penalty for publicity. Man
had paid the penalty so often and for
so long a time that society has ceased
to regard it a penalty and only when
we find one Of those rare, sweet souls,
born out of time, that seems like vio-
let transplanted into snow, do we rca-
lie what man has lost. But we sell

The French minister to China has
procured an order from the Tsungli
Yamen directing local authorities
throughout the empire to expunge from
the Chinese code all restrictions on the
propagation OF the Christian religion.
1t is said that an English Baptist
missionary in India has baptized a
Tibetan soldier in the British army
named Sobha Sing, and that he Is anx-
ious to go and preach the gospel to his
own people. 1t would be strange If
this should prove Gods way to reach
the hermit nation"

IL, 900 OF them. and two-thirds of this
number have either been baptized or

ENGLISH PLANT NAM ES.
They Recall One Rather Curious Habit
Of Our Ancestors.

Our ancestors had a curious habit OF
connecting the names of plants with
those of various well-known animals,
says Notes and Queries. Our present
habits are SO different that many
moderns are wholly unable to under
stand this. To them such names as
foxglove and harebell seem entirely
senseless, and many efforts. more IN
genious than well directed, have been
made to evade the evidence. Yet 1t Is
easily understood. The names are
simply childish and such as children
would be pleased with. child only
wants a pretty name, and is glad to
connect a plant with a more or less
familiar animal. This explains. the
whole matter, and 1t is the reverse OF
scientific to deny a fact merely be-
cause we dislike or contemn It, This
is not the way to understand the
workings of the human mind, on
which true etymology often throws
much unexpected light. 1t will be un-
derstood that l can produce my evil
dence. but it is tedious from its guam
tity. l therefore refer readers to the
glossary in the third volume of Cock
ayne's "AngloSaxon Leechdoms.

ences are given in full. Cock

as cranes bill, which are not found in

CATCHING SHARKS.
some Exciting Fishing That Was En-
joyed Near Hawaii.


Lieut. Coyne and some fifteen mem
bers of company Z started out on
steam launch a little after 10 a. m.
Sunday for the purpose Of doing what
they could with certain family OF
sharks reported to have been seen out
side the harbor, says the Pacific Com
mercial Advertiser. They stocked the
launch we'll, preparatory to an all-day's
hunt.
Just outside the harbor unmistak-
able signs in the shape of several fms
were noticed projecting above the sur
face of the water. and they made the
soldiers hair bristle with excitement,
A hook baited with large piece OF
pork and attached to heavy line was
thrown overheard. There was a bite
and a pull, and before long good
sized shark was hauled along and filled
with rifle and revolver bullets. This
was excitement enough. but when.
after the line had been thrown over
again, another shark was captured in
the same manner, the men in the
launch could hardly remain in their
places.
The line was cast overheard once
more, and soon there was a tug that
caused a very burning sensation to
| pass over the hands of the four men
who held it. The launch was pulled
here and there by what seemed to be
a monster twice the size of the others
This seemed to be proved when the
shark stuck it's fin above water. AT
this seven or eight bullets pierced the
head of the monster, and after hard
fight, during which the launch was in
imminent danger of being capsized
the prize was brought alongside and
lowed with the other two to the Aloha
boathouse, where it was found to bt

tail, and 531a inches around its largest
part. The largest of the remaining
two measured 9 feet s inches.
Upon being cut open the large shark
proved to have a stomach exception
ally void, which in some degree ac-
counted for the tug given the line.
The stomach of smaller shark was
found to contain two hats. one towel
and half of the top Of barrel, which
one of the soldiers construed as mean

out in a canoe with key of beer, and
