The Sharks Mnnth

No doubt the sharks mouth is placed
so much beneath the projecting muz-
Zle, under which also the nostriIs lie.
that 1t may serve its proper purpose in
the best way. In all records of the
habits of the fish we are told that II
can and does bite out lakge chunks of
flesh from the dead bodies of whales
and even from living victims of its at
tacks, and it is easily seen that if its
mouth was like that of other fishes the
necessary leverage would be lacking.
further reason seems to be that the
shark by this peculiar position of its
mouth Is compelled to turn upon its
back to strike aud is thus able to de-
liver its onset from below with more
deadly effect.
This formidable strength of jaw is
backed up by a most terrible array of
teeth, of which in some species there
are as many as six re"s ell around
Each tooth is saw edged and pointed,
and some of the largest are as much as
two inches in breadth at the base
These lie fat against the jaws and can
be raised by separate muscles at will,
so that, as the shark darts upon its
prey. they spring on end, as a cats
claws are stuck out from it's paws.
This arrangement will not allow any
thing once boIted to return, so that a
shark s mouth is veritable death trap.

Every good act is charity. Giving
water to the thirsty is charity; remov-
ing stones and thorns from the road is
charity; exhorting your fellow men to
virtuous deeds is charity; smiling in
your brothers face is charity; putting
a wanderer in the right path is charity.
A mans true wealth is the good he

in what respect the fox is held. 1t is

two or more feet.
one day the two men huilt a great

came upon bed of rock He had been
a prospector too long to resist the temp

the hole he broke off a piece of the
rock
Then, after the venison was buried
and roasted, he examined the broken

cabin candle. To his very great aston

call live rock, assaying 5000 to the ton.

PAYING OFF IN BANK CHECKS.
One Troublesome Practice Lessened by
 the War Revenue Tax.


 "The war tax has it's drawbacks, re- marked the cashier in a large stock yards concern, "but 1t Is blessing to a man in my position. I never knew to what extent the habit of making small bank checks had spread until ! saw & contractor pay off his laborers one Saturday night in checks. made inquiry, and found that 1t was com mon practice not only with him. but many others who hired great bodies of men. The latter didn't like 1t, of course, because they were obliged to cash the checks at the nearest gin mill, which meant a loss to them. because they had to treat A contractor who made practice of issuing small checks told me frankly that in the old days, when it was necessary to face each check with a 2-cent internal revenue stamp, he made as few checks as pos. sible. The war tax having included bank checks the habit of issuing small checks has practically been discon" tinued. That's why I say the tax is blessing in disguise. It is not profit able to issue checks for small sums. There is still another reason why we now use fewer checks for small amounts. Expert bank men declare that the simplest check to raise is the one calling for an amount below S10. The percentage of raised checks Is 65 on sums below $10. Another reason for the opposition to small checks is that they bother the bank authorities. Some banking institutions will cast out a patrons account should he per- sist in making small checks. The cheapenfng of the registry of letters is another reason for the suppression of smsll checks.

THE SPORT OF KINGS.
shey Were Too Much for the skippeps
 Sentative of the Tradition.

They Were Foo Much for the Shippers
 Sentative of the Tradition.
 Hunting used to be called the sport of kings, but not many of the mt lern crowned heads keep up the old t.adi- tion. The Car of Russia occasionally assists at battue, but the thing bores him and he goes only out of po9reness. The prince of Wales is a very good shot and is fond of shooting. but his big-game days are over. The emnsror of Germany hunts and shoots a gaod deal, but those who know him beat say he does not much care for the sport With him it is a matter of tradition the right thing for royal parsonage to do. The king of Portugal, who holds the record for fatness among all the royalties, is physically disabled from such violent exercise. The king ot Sweden never touches a gun. The sul- tan of Turl ay cannot. bear to see one, says the New York Commercial Adver- tiser. le king of the Belgians has shot only once in his whole life, and then in very unkingly fashion. He wanted to have the sensation of killing without the trouble of going in search of the game. So he sat in his arm chair aud potted at a lot of rabbits let lose from a bag In front of him When tha smoke cleared away ~nd his majesty called for his bag he had to be told that all that had been found was one tail and 8 certain small quantity of fluff, He never went shooting again. Ths king of Italy is the only real represen- tative of the old kingly tradition. He is mighty hunter and frequently throws up all the routine work without q word of warning, and goes off with one officer Col. Pazzimbolini, to spead several weeks in pursuit of the gams of all kinds with which the mountains abound. Formerly he established no means of communication with Rome. Neither Queen Margherita nor any ot his ministers ever knew where to find him for weeks at time. He might nave lost his throne in sudden up- heaval and known nothing of it till he descended to the plains. Of late. however, he has become wiser. Now 8 carrier leaves Rome every second day during his expeditions, bringing re< ports of all that aDpens.
