Mirage On Lake Michigan.

Michigan City loomed up in mirage
to the eyes of thousands of people
along the lake front in Chicago not
long ago Its white buildings and its
long sandy beach could be so plainly
seen by the naked eye that the city
which is some fifty miles from Chica.
go. seemed as if it were no more than
a few miles away.
The sight lasted some hours and
was first noticed about o'clock in
the afternoon. Spectators walking
along Michigan avenue, who saw the
strange appearance on the lake, and
who cast their eyes southwark, first
thought that the far-away lake city
was some of the outbuildings of Hyde
Park or South Chicago But their eyes
were deceived and in looking steadily
through the smoke cast over the lake
about Chicago they were convinced
TINT it was view of the Indiana city
which met their gaze Hundreds OF
people in the streets ii1ed the win
dows in large buildings along Michi
gan avenue, to witness the spectacle
Guests of the different hotels flocked
to the windows. A number of steam

Shuts the Ewes TO Sin

For the last three years Miss Sarah
Cunningham, of Vancouver, b. c., has
blindfolded her eyes whenever she
stepped outside the door of the little
cottage in which she lives alone. Miss
Cunningham is a woman about forty
years old. For years her conscience
was troubled by the sights of sin and
immortality everywhere visible as she
walked the streets of Vancouver. Fin
ally she decided that she could stand II
no longer. If she could not put stop
to the wickedness which oppressed her
she could at least shut her eyes to the
outside world Consequently she band
aged her eyes. Since that day in 1896
her eyes have never looked upon the
earth. AS a result Miss Cunningham
reports that she is becoming cheerful.
The bright side of life now occupies
her mind, and though she is aware of
the fact that there is still sin in the
world it does not trouble her as ii
formerly did.

Still erindino.

In the Bible We read Of two women
grinding N "A mill" but that was in
Palestine, two thousand years ago, and
in the light of our modern machinery
we scarcely comprehend just what ii

the only difference being that instead

A Fioht With a Shark.

A lively experience with a twelve
foot striped shark came to Boatmen
larry Johnson and Rob Barnard the
other ady. They were fishing between
Mission Rock and Goat Island when
they saw the shark. 1t followed thcm
persistently. and once when it came
boldly up to the boat the boatmen set
upon it with oars, stretcher and gaff.
\ blow from the big bl'ute's tail came
near upsettng the Whitehall Barnard
barely escaped being drawn into tie
sea through sinking the gaff into the
body of the SHARK. which set off at Il
terrific speed, pulling the boat after
him. 1t was so weak from the blows
and from the loss OF blood that it was
finally conquered In the fight the
plucky boatmen lost one oar and a

plum stocks, as is often advised when

potash, if the clay soil has been thor
