isolated People Of the Earn.

The people who live in the northern
portion of the peninsula of Kamchatka
are probably the most isolated in the
world. The people have practically no
communication with others than their
own tribe, being seldom visited by
travellers.
The inhabitants of the New Siberian
islands are also detached people, for
they can only communicate with the
mainland once year even If the
weather is favorable.
The pygmies of the great central AZ
ricaE forests, If they can be called q
tribe, have also been a people apart.
For ages their existence was little
more than legendary. and only two ex-
petitions commanded by white men
have ever penetrated Into their absds.

The Elder Booth. Beautiful Read

I never heard any one read just like
the elder Booth. 1t was beautiful. He
made the figure stand before you! It
was infinitely tender. Some of the
passages Of Lear" We're touching in
the extreme, though he used Cibber's
frightfully bad edition of that sublime
tragedy.
He had some very odd ways at times.
We were playing Hamlet" one night
In Natchez, and during Ophelia's mad
scene cock began to crow Justify.
When the curtain fell upon that fourth
act, this growing became more con-
slant. And when the manager could
not find Mr.. Booth to commence the
next act he looked up and saw him
perched on the top Of the ladder, which
was the only way to reach the lilies"
In that primitive theater.
The manager assembled the ladder
and had quite lengthy discussion
with Mr.. Booth, who at last consented
to come down on condition that he
should resume his high position after
the play and remain there until Jack
son was reelected president.-"Autobi-

California;. shark OIL Indu.trx.

The making of shark oil Is the i'm.
portant industry of McGarvin's Cove,
near Riverside. The process Of manu-
facture is decidedly primitive. The
sharks are caught in every imaginable
way, by bait and hook, but principally
with the seine. The livers. which con-
tain the oil, after being taken from the
fish. are rendered out in cans set over
brush fire. reminding one somewhat
Of the process of obtaining the oil from
whale blubber. The oil is then put
into casks and shipped to Los Angeles.
The coarser grades are used in the
making Of tarpaulins and other oiled
cloths for use aboard ships, while the
finer grades are put into the SO called
cod liver oil of commerce. The sharks
average from 10 to 25 cents worth Of
oil apiece, and days catch usually
nets about S40.-Riverside Press.

THE CAPTAINS STORY.
He Spins a Yarn About Wonderful
Recovery on Shipboard.

He Spins n Ynrn About a Wonderful
Recovery on Shipboard.
A little group had been spinning
yarns in the 'rotunda of the Walton for
an hour or more when bronze
visaged, middle aged man Joined the
party. Several of the group recognized
him us the captain of one of the big
tramp steamers. which ply between
Philadelphia and foreign ports, and q
place In the circle was at once made
for him.
"We've been killing time telling sto-
ries," some one explained. Suppose
you turn in your contribution"
The captain thought moment and
then smiled.
II was thinking Of something that
happened on my last voyage" he final
" said. eve had on board as cook
big colored fellow, whose principal
companion was little yellow cur dog.
One day while the cook was preparing
some beef for dinner he let the heavy
cleaver with which he was doing the
chopping slip from his grasp.
ut fell to the floor with thud, and
the cook emitted howl Of anguish
that was heard all over the ship. The
cleaver had struck one of his bare feet
and sliced the big toe off as neatly as
surgeon could have done 1t. Here
was chance for the yellow dog, and
he seized it. Making dive for the
severed toe, he swallowed 1t in one
gulp and then made q bee line for the
deck.
"This was more than the cook, GRAZ
ed with pain, could stand, and he hurl-
ed the cleaver at the dog. His aim
proved true, and his curship passed out
Of existence then and there. At this
juncture the ships doctor came up to
find out what all the row was about.
When he learned the truth, he laughed.
"'I'll fix that for you,' he exclaimed
to the cook, wait till l get my instru-
ment CASE
"Within five minutes he had held a
post mortem on the dog and recovered
the lost toe. Washing 1t with antisep-
tics, he skillfully stitched it back In
place again, and the cook hobbled back
to his quarters minus his dog, but with
as many toes as he had ever had.
That's about the only story recall
just now, gentlemen. It has the merit
Of being true, however, and IL you
don't believe 1t come down to the ship
any time and I'll show you the cleaver.
The cook has quit the sea, and don't
know his present address. "-Philadel-
