Man Eating Sharks.

The man eating fish par excel
lence is the great white shark. It
is otherwise known by the name of
man eater. Occasionally specimens
are seen on both coasts of the United
States, though its more customary
habitat is in tropical waters. This
frightful creature attains a length
of nearly 40 feet, and it is able to
swallow a man whole. This fact is
proved by an experiment which sail
ors are fond Of: making when such
a shark is captured. The skull be-
ing preserved, they amuse them
selves by crawling one after another
through the distended jaws. 1t
would be unsafe to do this, however,
when the head has been freshly cut
off, because unler such conditions
the jaws will snap together fiercely
for some time afterward if anything
is placed between them. Tie skull
of a big shark, by the way, is al
ways salable, owing to the demand
by museums and curiosity hunters

pounds has been found i'll the stom-
ach of white sAark.-Rcne Bach

Trajan's Wall.

The Danube was for a time u
sufficient protection against the
Scythians, but soon better defense
was needed, and Trajan devised and
carried out complete system Of
frontier posts from Ratisbon to Bel
grade. At Belgrade the forts became
fortresses, the earthworks became a
wall, and the whole mighty fortifca-
ton turned away from the Danube
river. Between Belgrade and the
Black sea there were SO forts Of
large size and hundreds of little cas-
ties, while the whole line Of Trajan's
wall traversed distance of 1, 100
miles and had in its extent over
5000 castles.

THE HURRYlNG FEET OF WOMEN

at the newborn infants cry, tells the story
of woman's sympathy for her sister-woman.
If women would only spread the medical
gospel, that woman is unified for WIFE
hood and motherhood as long as She suffers
from weakness or disease of the distinctly
womanly organism, there would be less
necessity for the sisterly sympathy that
woman receives when she is in the throes
of child-bearing.
A woman who is thoroughly strong and
healthy in a womanly way has to suffer
comparatively little pain and sickness when
she becomes mother. Dr.. Plerce's Favor
lite Prescription acts directly on the delicate
and important organs that bear the burdens
of maternity and gives them health,
strength and elasticity. It allays infamma-
ton, heals liberation and soothes pain. 1t
banishes the disconforts of the faint
hearted period and makes baby's advent
easy and almost painless. 1t iusures the
newcomers health. Over 10000 women
have testified to its marvellous merits and
many of them have permitted their expert
euces, names, addresses and photographs

An Enthusiastic Astronomer.

So great was the enthusiasm of
the French astronomer, La Callle,
in the cause of science that he re-
stricted himself to the use of one
eye, resting the other solely for his
telescope. 1t is almost incompre-
hensible that a man should thus
voluntarily deprive himself of one
of his most useful menbers, but it
is recorded that by these means he
was able to achieve many interest
ing results, and we may therefore
presume that he considered himself
sufficiently rewarded. = London

the cab in that strange manner.
There was way to the sidewalk
through the press of vehicles. Herrick

Herrick paid him with the five-dollar

wealth, and the end of it so far as he
could see, so short time before. He
counted his change carefully, remem-

The total vote cast for presidential
electors at the last contest was 13, 9OO,-
900. The popular vote in 1892 was IT,
10000. In 1888 it was II, 100000. There
was at the recent election fuller vote
in proportion to the population than at
any preceding presidential contest.
In Texas at the last election the con-
stitutional amendment requiring six
months residence after declaration of
citizenship before foreigners can be-

26S.262 to 51,64S.

Strange Things on Mars.

The planet Mars has recently ODE

the sun and consequently favorably
situated for telescope observation. In
fact, astronomers have been studying
it for several months as it approached
opposition, and have once more dis
cerned those curious lines on it's surface
called canals" They have also seen
again the round or oval spots that ap-
pear at points where many canals meet,
and to which Mr.. Lowell has given the
name of "oases." One of the latest and
most interesting observations relates to
an "oasis" called "Trivium Cbarontis."
On November 10 this spot, at which nine
''canals" meet, was seen, at NJ. Flam

double, or cut in two. Five days earlier
at the same observatory, the spot had
appeared dark, broad and single

America Still Ahead.

Russia is a very large country, and
with Siberia's immense area included,
the size of the United States suffers in
comparison with her. One of her news
papers has Wanted the proposed
transporting of a whole town some
40 odd miles along frozen river "a here
tofore unknown feat, as it claims), the
object of the removal being to place the
town among some hills that lend them
selves admirably to the purpose of forti-
fication, thus securing valuable mill
tary station. 1t will undoubtedly be
quite feat to accomplish such task,
and if the Russian engineers find any
hitch in their plans, they can surmount
the difficulties by reference to a SINH
lar undertaking successfully accom-
plished in the state of Illinois, namely,
the moving of the town of Nauvoo over
frozen river. In the course of three
winters this was done, and 700 houses
were transported, and a new town, now
q prosperous place, was established.
The Russian newspapers can boast OF
the great work of moving one of their
towns; but it is a pleasure to know that
the United States long ago anticipated
them in such matters.-Harper' Round

HOW SwINDLERS GET NAMES.
Stealing Newspaper Subscription Lists and
Exchanging with Other Rogues.

Stealing Newspaper Subscription Lists and
Exchanging with Other Rogues.
Persons who get circulars from
swindlers often wonder how their names
are obtained by the latter. The ways
are various. Subscription lists of the
city weeklies are bought or stolen, and
nearly every swindler exchanges his
letters or the addresses of those who
have answered his advertisements with
either swindlers in similar lines of bust
ness. Hence, the recognized fact that
is much more likely to be swindled
again. Nearly all the dealers in objec-
tionable books, those who advertise
"your future husband or wife, ""fortunes
told" and retired clergymen" sell their
letters for one cent each or more to the
bogus money operators. So it will be
seen that some lines of swindling have
their branches paying large percent
age on the money invested.
a firm of "sawdust" spectators at
one time bought 10000 letters received
by a concern that had realized $4,000
out of q certain bogus sewing machine.
This machine was made of cast iron
and turned by small hand wheel. 1t
would sew two pieces of the finest ma
terial together, but anything coarser
would demolish the whole machine and
render it useless. The same enterpris-
ing firm bought about 10000 letters
from a woman i'm Brooklyn who adver-
tised to supply every young man and
woman with the date of their marriage
and description of their future partners
for life. This woman received in near
~ every one of these 10000 letters a
50-cent stamp, and NO evidence was
given that she had ever sent single
reply. Indeed, so great was the har-
vest that some so or GO of the letters
had not been opened by her, and still
contained the 50-cent stamps. They
also bought up letters addressed to
quack doctors, dealers in Objectionable
pictures; also letters from lottery keep
ers, fortune dealers, etc.
Another firm on Wall street advertised
two steel engravings of distinguished
persons mailed free ON receipt of one
dollar. They received some 10000 re-
plies, with dollars inclosed, and sent
in return two ten-cent stamps of the
period. Some advertisers offer "dia-
mond rings" catalogues" recipes"
songs" etc, simply to get addresses,
and after getting all they can out of the
parties replying they find it a profitable
business to sell the letters to others
