Coyynrdice of sharks.

Many tales have been told of how
human beings have been devoured by
the fish that is .Snown as the man
eater" Although many of these have
been greatly exaggerated. they are to
certain extent true. 1t is also true
that sharks have been known to follow
ship for days. picking up and eating
that which had been thrown overheard
as waste.
Notwithstanding all this the coward
illness of sharks Is well known among
men who have been much to sea in
southern waters. The fiercest shark
will get out of the way of a swimmer
IL the latter sets up noisy splashing.
shark fears anything that splashes
in the water. Among the south sea is
lands the natives never go bathing
alone, but always In parties of half a
dozen or so, In order that they may
make a great hubbub in the water and
thus brighten away the sharks. Once
In awhile too venturesome swimmer
among these natives foolishly detaches
himself from his party and forgets to
keep up his splashing Then there is a
swish. and the man eater comes up
from under him like flash, and he is
gone

A Long Bath.

A man who is a lawyer and jour
nalist in one of the smaller inland cit
les of Ohio tells of an uncle he has in
the region of Massillon. This relative
is one of the pious members Of a small
community and. being possessed Of
considerable executive ability, has
been for more than 20 years the super
intendent Of thriving Sunday school.
His besetting sin. if it might be called
such. is his propensity to eXaggerate
stories in order to make them interest
ing TO his auditors.
Some time ago he was telling his
lawyer Journalist nephew of how he
cured himself of the ague. 1t was sew
eral years ago, and, having tried every
remedy i'm vain, he at last consulted an
old Indian doctor. who advised him, he
says. to go down to the creek each
morning Immediately on rising and sit
In the cold water up to his chin. He
was to sit there one minute the first
morning and then double the time each
day for 20 days. The uncle says he
followed the prescription and was
cured.
The nephew. who happens to be of a
calculating turn of mind. figured out
how long his uncle would stay In his
cold bath on the twentieth day. He
found that the last treatment would
last few days over six months
