In the notice last Sunday OF the es,ab-
lishment of home for Confederate veter-
ans by the u. d. C. of Alabama, the name
OF the State was omitted by typographical
error, making 1t appear that Texas was
the State referred to, which would be a
great injustice, as our grand old State has
long since made an appropriation for that
cause, leaving only to the Daughters OF
the Confederaoy the care of identifying
and adding such comforts as only woman
can TO the home so generously given.
1t is not too late to show the world that
the longer the Southern people live the
stronger grows their love for those who
willingly gave their all for the great cause
of Southern rights. So let us continue to
honor their herolsm and patriotism as long
as the old Confedsrates live and instill
into the hearts and minds of our children
to keep the old sentiment alive in their
| hearts TO be transmitted to the next gener-
alton.

Texas fisherman was killed-by tafpou
when landing it. The fish, in making
one OF its leaps, struck him, knocked him

Size is by no means factor in deter
mining the dangerous nature of fishes.
This is well illustrated in South America,
where the most dangerous fish in the fresh
water streams is a creature not more than
four or five inches in length. The danger
OF these creatures lies in their numbers and
their insatiate rapacity. They are yeri.
table bloodhounds that fairly fiji the waters

II any foreign object drops into the stream
1t IS at once surrounded by thousands, and
If alive it is reduced TO a skeleton in a mar
veilously short time. Horses in. ,wading
stream have been SO terrorized by tha
attacks of these unseen foes that they fell
over, and horse and rider were drowned.
The fish have sharp teeth, and they liter.
ally strip the flesh from the limbs of horses
or other animals that are exposed to theiI
attacks.
In the waters of South America is found
large electric eel that has been-kBegn to
be the cause OF the death of men. Some
years ago an attempt was made To capture
a band of wild horses by driving them into
pond infested BY these cells. The animals,
maddened by the shocks, were in several
instances thrown over and drowned.

FISH THAT KILL MEN.
The Arrow Of the Pacific Deaths Caused by Tarpon-
South American Terror.

The shark is generally supposed to be
the most to be dreaded of all fishes, but it
rarely happens that an authentic account
of the destruction of human life by shark
is recorded. The swordfish sometimes
dashes into ships, burying its sharp weapon
spring leak. A ship may be struck by a
whale in mid-ocean and crushed. These
are the notable casualties that attract at
tention on account of their sensational fea-
lures, yet lives are lost annually where
fishes of small size are the direct or indirect
cause.
In the islands of the Pacific small gar
fish is very common. 1t has a long, sharp
beak, which gives it an arrowlike shape.
This living arrow when alarmed dasheS
out from the water and goes soaring away
over the surface in short bounds with such
force that when it strikes a foreign body it
either passes through it or infiicts painful
and serious wounds. Native shell hunters
wade over the reef in search of shells. lift
ing punches of coral with view to taking
the small shells from them. This accom-
plished, the coral is thrown down. The
noise often alarms the gars, they go darting
away like arrows, and shell hunters have
been pierced and even killed by them. An
English officer was struck by one on the
visor of mis- cap. This resulted in an inves-
tigation by representative of the British
Government and it was found that men had
lost their lives from this cause.
Among the casualties from fishes in
America may be mentioned several in which
the gamy tarpon was the cause Near the
mouth of the Mississippi the seine haulers
sometimes take the tarpon in the long nets,
and on one occasion a large fish leaped
over the inclosure and struck man, killing
him instantly. Two men were nearly lost
off the coast of Florida by tarpon, which
leaped into the boat and knocked out two
of the planks with its head, literally going

mother and walked over alone to the camp
of the Malietoa men. We wandered about
without the least fear. The native houses
are like huge bowl-shaped roofs set on
short stilts. and are open ON all sides to the
gaze of the public. We could see the sol-
greeting us with friendly "Aiofas' and in
vitations to enter. We accepted the hand
OF handsome brown girl, who ran out and
led us, like little children, into her house,
and offered us freshly gathered cocoanuts
to drink. A young man, i remember, was
sitting on the floor filing cartridges, and
he locked at us somewhat resentfully, but
no remark was made except the ironicai
one of passing soldier, who asked as we
were leaving if We found the Malietoa men
so much handsomer than the Mataafans
that we came here "shadow-catching," as
they call drawing and photography.
II is not that the Somoans particularly
respect white ladies; they are kind and con-
siderate to their own womenkind. They
have many words in language of eompli-
ment TO the fair sex. Aolele, the native
name that my mother is known, by, is a
term of admiration meaning beautiful as
a flying cloud" There are Suta and
Agalelei, and many others; also, they have
words of respect for the aged, which are
carefully taught to well-bred children. The
dictionary defines one as "a depreeatipg
address, in asking favor of an old per-
son., and IAN atfectionate address to the
aged, and many more of respectful esteem.
The distribution of their daily work
shows more than anything else could do
the place women hold in Samoa. The
men bring in the heavy logs for building
the ovens, the girls carry banana leaves for
wrapping and preparing the food; the men
fish for sharks and dive for turtles, the
women catch prawns in the rivers; the men
do the cooking, the women spread the
feast, and of the married couples it is the
man who carries the children; naturally"
they explain, because he is stronger"

RESOURCES OF LABRADOR.
The Wealth Of Timber and Minerals. wiihia Its Lin

More is being heard row of Labrador,
that land to which legends OF giants and
cEriously deformed men are attached, says
the Vancouver NeUs Advertiser. During
a growing belief that Labrador, that:1great
and terrible wilderness that "Helluland,"
or region of naked rocks,eas the old Morse
man called it, is destined TO turn out rich
mining region. AS yet there is no tangi-
bic proof of this; but of late it has been
have been assembled. its tableland crossed
at several points, and the result has been
that it has attracted much more attention
than before, and is no longer regarded as a
desolate heap of rocks, useless for purposes
of civilized man. Visitors have brought
back so many specimens of minerals that
widespread impression has arisen, that il
will become great mining field.
The magic word gold has, BEEN whis-
pered in connection with it, and the pos
sibility of a northeastern k1ondike being
discovered here has taken possession Of
the minds of no small number OF explor-
ers. Its formations are. said to resemb ble
those of the real Klondike, and gold speci-
mems have been found which the. KEEN
eyed hunters of that metal regard as pecu-
liarly promising. The result is that no
fewer than seven exploring expeditions
have made this year for Labrador. Five
of these were organized in Halifax, one
left from Boston, and the seventh has just
started from st. Johns.4~-es.e<z. =.
In another respect Labrador is attract
ing attention. Though the coast is a sue
cession Of grim rocks-not without wild,
stern beauty of their own and almost tree
less-yet at the heads of some of the bays
and inletS there are large areas covered
with timber of a large size. mainly spruce,
we'll adapted for numbering purposes. In
the Labrador forests speculation is rife
this year. No fewer than 21 applications
for timber limits, some of them for 500
square miles, have been made to the Gov
ernment, and the same number OF licenses
to cut timber have, We understand, been
granted, SO that considerable amount of
capital is likely to be invested there, and
this will furnish increased employment to
the people. Labrador hitherto has been
famous only for the fish wealth of its seas;
now it would seem as if the treasures of the
land were to be turned to account. Its
dimensions are enormous. The Atlantic
coast line is over 1 600 miles in length, and
the area of the entire peninsula not lesd
than 100000 square miles.
The National tribune., 1899-07-06


such dramas as cannot be seen elsewhere.
Maj. Leveson, writing of these Indian
woodlands, says: "Those who have never
explored such places can form but very
faint ideas of the mysterious effect
their unbroken Stiffness, exert upon the
mind =. Solitude is too insignifi-
cant term to convey those suggestions of
overpowering desolation and abandonment
which pervade these regions"
1t was in n glade lost amidst this ocean of
