MAN EATING SHARKS.
A Pacific Mail Steamship Captains
Description of Them.

"If Clark Russell or Robert Louis Ste
venson had in one of their sea romances
described the wrecking of ship, the up
setting of life RATS by shoals of ravenous
sharks and the deyouring of 40 of the
crew, they would have indeed been term
ed romancers by the public" said q for
mer captain in the Pacific Mail service,
"yet this was the unhappy fate of the
crew of the British ship Hupeh, wrecked
in the China seas.
people here and along the eastern sea-
coast do not know what sharks are as
compared with the huge and voracious
man eaters of tropical waters. Whenever
q good sized shark is seen off one of the
New Jersey coast resorts, 1t is made Il
matter of news in the press, and timid
people won't bathe' in consequence. In
the warm waters of the tropical Pacific
they flourish to enormous size and In the
harbors swarm around the Pacific Mail
steamers in schools like gigantic min
nows. 1t is actually terrifying to lean
over the steamers rail and watch these
bloodthirsty tigers of the sea glide
through the still waters, fighting like
demons for scraps of ships refuse thrown

"In the harbor, landlocked and placid,
of Acapulco, on the west Mexican coast,
they are as thick as salmon in the CO.

returning to the steamer one afternoon,
both a trifie under the influance of slim
ulants. In some manner they capsizcd

ALL ABOUT CROSS BUNS.
Just Who Wanted Them Will Proba-
bly, Never Be DeterlnIned.

Just Who Wanted Them VIII Proba-
bly, Never Be Determined.
Just how and when the hot cross bun
came into vogue must remain forever
matters of pure conjecture. There are no
less than three absolutely authentic sto-
rics of its origin current today. OF these
the religious story will quite probably be
the one more generally believed and rec
ognizcd.
The Roman Catholic church and the
Episcopal church declare that in the ear
ly days of the Roman Catholic church it
was a custom for those who were strong
and healthy to send little cake marked
with the sign of the cross on Good Fri
day to those Of their friends and relatives
who had been unable by illness to attend
divine service and witness the raising Of
the host.
In the seventeenth and eighteenth cen
turicS these little cakes were regarded
with both reverence aul awe. 1t was sup
posed that they would never grow moldy
In households where there were children
they never did.
Bryant, the historian, says that the no;
cross buns originated with the Romans
The word bun, he insists, is derived from
the name of the sacred cake which the
Romans offered every seventh day. The
story of Cecrops. another legend Of mag
nanimity, runs like this:
There was n time in Cecrops' career
when he thought it would be to the ad
vancement Of his general career to curry
favor with Jupiter for bit and just see
II he couldn't get some nice, fat little ap
pointmcGt out of him. Jupiter was rather
under the weather just then. 1t was the
springtimc, and Jupiter had fallen vic
tim to that tired feeling peculiar to tht
season.
When Cccrops heard Of this, no hurried
down to the kitchen of the palace, seize
a saucepan and the head cooks apru;
and proceeded to make !; cake. He decd
ed mentally that it was to be cak.
which should stand without rival in tn,
worlds annals of culinary art. When i
was finished, Cpcrops laid it On Il COLDER
platter and carried it to Jupiter himself
The cake was not much to look at.
The l,nwcrs Of that cake as set forth b.
Cecrops in his pre- Scntatijn speech to .Iu
pitcr were marvellous in the extreme. CT
crops had made out u catalogue Of the i'll
and accidents which that cake could pre-
vent. Only four of these powers of TIL
original hct cross lGn have come dow
the ages. They are these: This cak,

BORROWED ON HIS SALARY.



The Difference Between Getting Into
and Getting Out OF Debt.
"Apropos of borrowing money on ones
salary" said a prominent merchant OF
this city, talking Of that peculiar phase
of the loan business, Il am reminded Of
curious case that came under my obser-
walton not long ago. A young man en-
ployed on the clerical staff of large con-
Germ here was given q tip on a good
thing in cotton. 1t came to him in such
q way that he felt absolutely certain of
cleaning up a nice little sum of money,
and as he had no funds of his own Just
then he took the liberty of borrowing
$3.50 from the house. In plain English
he stole $3.50 from the firms current
cash, and when he lost, as he did, he
found himself in the deuce Of a FIX.
However, he was able to carry things
over without detection for a few days
and in the meantime succeeded in getting
a loan of the necessary sum from a pri-
vate money shark. The loan was for six
months and he agreed to pay Is pcr cent

An Unexpected Check.

A man who won a reputation for cool
daring and almost eccentric fearlessness
along 1000 miles of the southwestern
border died in Texas a short time ago
died, too, in bed, like a Christian. This
man was A. l.. PARROT, formerly SER
geant in McNelly's company Of Texas
rangers.
One night in 1875, about six months
after PARROT left the state service, he
was sitting In a house in a little town in
southwest Texas playing chess with
friend. 1t was a warm night, and the
chessboard was on a table close to an
open window. PARROT he'd the white
men. His queen was in u direct line with
the black king, but a black knight was
between the two pieces. 1t was Parrott's
move.
Suddenly there was sharp report out
side, and a bullet whistled in through
the window, hit the black knight and bur-
led itself in the wall. Parrot had been
bending over the board, and the bullet
was evidently intended for his head. But
for a few seconds he did not stir He
saw the black knight suddenly vanish.
Then in his peculiar drawing, hesitatilg
way he said, "Check!"-Saturday Even

DOCTORS BIG FEES.
One Who Got $4,000 For Prescribing
Good Dinner.


The doctor and some of the reporters
were talking In the little room opposite
the telephone office down at Bellevue
hospital.
81 see by the papers," said the doctor,
mentioning the story of large bill re-
ported to have been sent in by q surgeon
of the city, that this doctor didn't feel
satisfied with $4,000. He thought lie
ought to have $4,000. That's a rather
fine distinction perhaps, but it all depends
on the sort of a case which the surgeon
treated. A man with his skill and his
standing can charge almost anything he
pleases.
'The way in which some physicians
earn large fees is curious. recall one
case of the sort-or at least story of a
case, for won't vouch for the truth of it
ALL A man had been suffering for some
time with gastritis and had been treated
for more than year by several physi-
clans. The usual treatment is to put tho
the work, but this man kept growing
worse. He finally summoned DR.. B., one
of the best known physicians in the city.
When DIR. B. learned the history of the
case he took one long look at the mans
face and reached for his hat.

said. You meet me tomorrow ut Del
monico's, and I'll prescribe treatment Of
some sort for you

doctor had set.

a low tone, and when the waiter came
back he brought two orders Of oysters.
The patient looked surprised.
Now said the doctor, you just fall
to and eat good meal. That's all you
want
at turned out that the doctor was
right. The man, who had been nearly
dead, was soon In good health. Then the
physician sent in his bill. 1t was for
$4,000. When the man received it. he
hurried around to the doctors Office.
"'By thunder said the man, do you
think I'm made of money! can pay it
all right. but now, honestly, doctor. don't
you think it's pretty larger
