THE eLuEFlsA BRIGADE.
What Happens When the Blues Make {
Charge Upon the Menhaden.

What Happens When the Blues Make q
Charge Upon the Menhaden.
"When menhaden or herring are driv-
en- upon the beach by bluefish, as they
often are SO that they can be carried off
by the eartload," said q fisherman,
there is very seldom found among them
one Of their purauers, and II one isfound
it is likely to be fish that Is diseased
or that has been hurt in some way. The
bluefish follows to the very verge Of the
water, but there it stops, and it is 80
powerful and alert q swimmer that,
close MS it is, it still easily keeps clear
Of the land. The menhaden or herring
are no mean swimmers. They could
come as close and keep off the shore as
easily as the blueflsh do, but not when
the bluefish are after them. Then they
are like men pursued to the edge of
precipioe. 1t is almost certain death to
jump, but they must do that or turn
and take tho chances of breaking
through tho pursuing line.
when the bluefish-there may be
8, 900 or 1000 of them together--sight
q school of menhaden, they go for it
like brigade Of heavy cavalry, cutting
and slashing, swapping and biting,
right and left. The menhaden are SIM
ply overborne by superior weight. and
there is nothing for them to do but flee.
II they are driven toward the shore, the
land is to them what the precipice
would be to the man. They must take
1t or they must turn and try to fight
their way through. Many do turn and
try to swim under or over or around
the savage bluefish, and some escape in
this way, and some are snapped up, and
some nre MANNED and then cast ashore,
and many of them, crowding together,
are SO closely pressed that they are prac-
tically forced ashore
Sometimes fish that are not cast up
very far flop down into the water again.
A high wave may set some free. A fish
thus liberated may find its fins so dam
aged that it can't swim, and it is cast
up again Weakened by its rough expe-
rience, it may fall prey to some of the
blueflsh yet lingering off shore. 1t may
escape. New York Sun.

THE EARTH GIRDLED.
REV. DR.. TALMAeE'S LATEST BOOK
OF TRAVEL.

His Vivid Record of a Unique Journey.
How an Eminent Word Painter Has De-
picted Some OF the Earth's Rarest Mar
vels-An Interesting Work.
Rev. DIR. Talmage would have made
capital newspaper correspondent. Nobody
has keener perceptions as to what interests
the public and his ability to depict 1t in
picturesque English cannot be surpassed.
The advance sheets Of his latest and
greatest literary production have been,
through the courtesy of Mr.. II. S. Smith,
president of the Historical Publishing
company of Philadelphia, furnished to the
writer. The book bears title that is In
itself characteristic of DIR. Talmage, so
great is 1t, so comprehensive and yet so
simple-"The Earth Girdled" As Is sug-
s,es.ea b. the name, I. &c : record CO :. t-s;,
around the world-a wonderful journey
filed with all sorts Of scenes and Incidents,
bizarre, beautiful, pathetic and instruo-
tive, as we'll as intensely interesting and
sketohed by the master hand of word
artist SO deft and exact that the readers
senses are all kept alert-and the perusal is
moro an experience than mere mental
act.
After thoroughly digesting the b04 pages
of magnificent material one cannot avoid
the conclusion that 1t Is one of the most
interesting and valuable books of travel
that ever came from the press.
The volume is richly garnished with IL
Illustrations, of which there are more than
400. Among them are o number of photo
graphs In oolors, produced by new proc
ess. These are highly artistic and beauti-
full and form special feature of this at
traotive volume. The letterpress is ex-
tremely handsome and clear, and tho bind
ing will be of sorts to suit purchasers;
hence, you see 1t ~ not hard to sum up
and say that the book Is In all respects
charming.
Anything like detailed comment upon
the various subdivisions of the work is, of
course beyond the purpose and the scope
of this notice. To SUMMARIZE, 1t may be
said that DIR. Talmage's travels embraced,
first, o large portion of our own country,
traversed In his passage from Brooklyn
through the southern states and territories
to San Francisco. From the Golden Cato
he sailed for Hawaii, Samoa and the Sand
wich Islands generally, after which he Wis
tied In turn New Zealand, Australia Coy
Ion, India, Egypt, portions of Ethiopia,
Syria, Palestine, Greece, Italy, Europe,
Russia, tho British isles etc.. constituting
tho most wonderful and stupendous jour
ney ever undertaken and accomplished In
any age of the world.
The object of tho famous preacher in
making this remarkable circuit OF the
earth was to study tho various religions
and superstitfons of the different nations
and races of mankind, compare their re-
suits with Christianity and leave perma-
nent record for the enlightenment of fu-
ture generations. This was his aim. He
has accomplished 1t and much more bo-

DIR. John Morris of this city has in
his possession q stamp which was issued
by the carriers of Baltimore antecedent
to tho Inauguration Of the free delivery
system. DIR. Morris was postmaster of
Baltimore from 1857 to 1861, and 1t
was during his administration that the
carriers stamp was employed here. 1t
is l cent stamp
The stamp was issued by the carriers
for their own convenience. The system
obtaining at that time. by which they
collected the cost of postage from patrons
of the postal service to whom letters
were delivered, was troublesome to the
carriers, and in order to save themselves
the inconvenience, the carriers institut-
ed this stamp. 1t was continued until
the act of congress was passed establish
ing free delivery. The stamp is great

USES OF COLLEGE TRAINING.
Not to Make Experts, but to Fit Men For
Large, Intelligent Work.

Not to Make Experts, but to Fit Men For
Large, Intelligent Work.
1T is not entirely safe to claim that
every kind of success, even of legitimate
success, will be promoted by college
training. writes Rev. Charles Fl. Park
hurst, ID. D., in The Ladies' Home Jour
nal. IF had a boy for whom it was
my supreme ambition that he should be-
come rich, should not send him to col
lege. So far from helping his prospects,
in that direction it would probably dam
age Them Money making is trick.
Tho easy acquisition of it is knack 1t
involves the condensation of interest
and faculty along particular line, and
that a narrow line There is nothing to
hinder very small man from being q
very wealthy one Shrewdness does not
imply bigmindedness 1 might say
with a good deal of assurance that it
implies the contrary. And shrewdness
has more than ANYTHING else to do with
the acquisition Of gain.
''There are great many things that
can be best done by the man who does
not know too much, or, at least, by tho
man whose intelligence is concentrated
at single point or along a single line
The mechanic who has come to be
known among us as the wizard would,
perhaps, have been more of man if he
had gone to Harvard, but it would prob
ably have spoiled him as a wizard
Genius is presumably always a species
Of mania, and liable, therefore, to be-
come something very ordinary if sue
cessfully subjected to the processes of
the asylum. They had better be kept
away from college if the design is to
make them experts. College will be able
to give them character Of all round
ness, but knife cannot be round and
sharp at the same time; neither can
boy
IF we are going to do large, intelli-
gent work, the prime condition is the
possession of an intellect trained and
stocked in the same general and COM
prehensive way. College training is
simply the process Of intellectually get
ting ready, not getting ready for this,
that or the other specific mental service,
but simply getting ready - planting
down broad foundation of preliminary
big enough to support any breadth or
height of superstructure that there may
be need or opportunity to put upon 1t.
The college course and the requisite
preparatory training cost about seven
years of the best and most possible peri
cd of mans life. But if young man
hopes to do q large, solid work in the
world, work in which intelligence of
a broad kind is to play any considerable
part, and there is no antecedent obsta-
Gle in the way, he makes an irreversi-
BILE mistake if he considers seven years
too much to pay for a liberal education. I"

One of the ways Of telling whether a
man is a married man or not is to ex-
anime his pockets In the pockets of a
bachelor you will find:
Half dozen letters from girls.
A tailor's bill.
Three or four old checks for theater
seats.
Bills for supper.
Theatrical looking photographs.
A lot of invitations to dances, din
ners and receptions.
A tiny glove scented with violet.
But the married mans pocket will
contain:
An old bill.
A couple of unposted letters which
were given him to post a week past.
A sample of impossible shade which
he must match.
A newspaper clipping telling of a sure
cure for Group.
A shopping list ranging from box
of backing to three yards of lace.
Bills.

In parts of Germany, when the evening
clouds mount high and become narrow and
many branohed, so as to bear some resem-
blance to gigantic tree, the peasants
speak of tho phenomenon as being an
"Adam tree" or an abraham tree.
How or where tho curious superstitions
about these fleecy aerial trees originated
no ono knows, but tho stories which are
told regarding thom arc many and varied
In character. The "bloody Adam tree
Is supposed to appear before any great ma
tional disaster, just MS the white lady"
makes her appearance prior to- death In
the royal family. Before the great famine
Of 1873 the "Adnm tree" appeared Sin all
its parts like gigantic tree butwith with
cred leaves and dead and deeaying fruits
seemingly hanging from It's branches. "
In 184S, whom tho plague was raging
throughout Europe, "Adam trees of awful
portent appeared In the skies and were
seen from Italy to France and in all cases
grinnin9 skeletons, and friends appeared
hanging to or sporting in the branches"
In modern times tho adam treo" reg
ulates nothing but tho weather. When
tho German, Russian or Italian peasant
soes what we call "mackerel sky, he says:
"We shall have wind. Adams tree Is
putting forth leaves" If tho "leaves"
appear white and arc seen In tho morning,
rain may DO looked for. IL tho branching
and leafng out takes place In tho after
noon, 1t is sign OF flno weather.--St.

RICHER POOR.

If could coin her golden hair,
Or pawn her bright lips rubies raras
Or sell one priceless smile.
I'd like to take her to the play
And after that at some cafe
A supper served in style.
II I'd the diamond that lies
Embedded In her laughing eyes,
I'd have it set with care;
And then I'd place the yellow band
Upon her dainty little hand
And leave it shining there.
II were rich-but then, you know,
Perhaps she wouldn't love me so.
I'm not SO very sure;
But If this wealth shouN1 mean to part,
To loso the love of her dear heart,
