GREEDY MACKEREL.
A Gorsing Feast and the Way II
Was Managed.


Was Managed.
once enjoyed the privilege of seeing
an army of mackerel successfully cor
ner a shoal of small fry in rocky
shallow pool which was a cul de sac.
The mackerel swan behind their vic
tins in serried ranks, a company of
hungry, determined creatures, intent
upon a gorging feast to which there
need be no limit. They had followed
the fry for miles maybe, merely swal-
lowing one here and one there to keep
their appetites whetted Now they had
cornered them where there was no es-
cape for their victims. No alert fisher
man on the lookout for just such an
opportunity was at hand to convert
their triumph and feasting into captivi-
ty and lamentation. They might feast
at will.
And, We gods, feast they did! No
one who has not seen it would believe
that the cubic capacity of a mackerel
could possibly deal successfully with
the number of small fish he actually
swallows The way he conducts the
operation Oh IedSllHS rs uAquc. OpSA-
ing his mouth wide, the mackerel darts
in among the small fry, some of which
are perhaps one-third of his own
length. In an instant one of these is
to be seen sticking half in and half out
of his mouth. Then the mackerel gives
one gulp, and the victim has disappear
ed. Without a moments delay the
process is repeated and repeated so
many times that the spectator cannot
fail to be concerned for the immediate
future of the particular mackerel he
has watched. Yet nothing happens.
AS for the fry, their helpless anguish
is somewhat heartrending. The whole
shoal of them boils and churns the wa
ter in an agony of fear. High into the
air they leap in order to avoid their
voracious enemies, landing themselves
often enough upon the weed covered
rocks which skirt the pool and painting
their lives out there rather than leap
back into the seething mass of their
harassed companions beneath.-Long-
mans Magazine.

Christening Florida.

AS to why Ponce de Leon gave the
name Florida to the territory now
known by that name, the Florida
Farmer and Fruit Grower quotes from
an old book published in 1888: "Gave
it the name of Florida because it was
first seen in Easter, called Pasqua de
flores in the language of his country,
or as Herrera alleges, because it was
covered with flowers and the most
beautiful blossoms" And The Farm
er adds: "Those who have seen the
Easter season in Florida and the
wealth of flowers which still COM
memorate and adorn its return can
well believe that both these reasons in
Huenced the giving Of it's name"

A Welshman, walking through q
fashionable street in London, noticed
on door a bell. At the side Of the
bell were these words, please ring
the bell"
Taffy went and rang the bell. In a
second a powdered little footman ap-
peared and asked him what he wanted.
Nothing" said the Welshman, "but
rang the bell because it says so"
"Oh," said the footman, with a smile,
II see you come from the country
where nannygoats grow on gooseberry
busiest"
"Yes," answered the Welshman. But
in London there are more wonderful
sights. You have only to ring bell,
and monkey pops out."-London Tel

As they build their summer home
Blades of grass and buds are springing,
Der the mead the cattle roam.
In the spring your blood is frieghted
With the germs that.cause disease,
Humors, boils, are designated
Signals warning you of these.

Makes you every duty shirk,
Makes you feel like begging, stealing,
Rather than engage in work.

Man to health and vigor lead.

Once upon time the Rev. Thomas
X. Beecher of Elmira, N. Y, brother
to Henry Ward Beecher, got into some
sort of quarrel with a man named
Smith down at Cohoes. Thomas X.
Beecher wrote the presumptuous man
a defiant little note, saying CURLY:
do you want to get into quarrel
with the Beecher family2"
And the man wrote back, with
snarl:
"Do you want to fight with the Smith
family?"
And no Beecher could stand that.
Thomas X. laughed and FASTENED to
make terms.-Los Angeles Times.

Everybody who loves to watch the
heavenly bodies has frequently no
ticed, when the crescent of the new
moon appears in the west, the phe-
nomenon called "the old moon In the
young ones arms" Partly embraced
by the horns of the crescent is seen
the whole round orb of the moon,
glimmering with pale, ashy light.
The cause of the appearance Is that
the earth light upon that part of the
moon not reached by the sunshine is
sufficiently brilliant to render it faint
ly visible to our eyes. Successful at
tempts have been made, particularly
in France, to photograph this phe-
nomenon, and the pictures thus pro-
duced are very interesting

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS

Washington, March 12.-In the house
to-day an important bill reported last
week from the public lands committee
to extend the placer mining laws of the
United States with certain notifications
to the shore rights, Bleaching, working,
ETC., in Alaska was passed. This bill
is designed to meet conditions obtaining
at Cape Nome. Lacey, chairman of the
committee, said the bill was endorsed by
the Alaska authorities and miners gener-
ally. An amendment was adopted pro-
hibiting corporations from locating
claims.
The WiseYoung contested election
case from the Second Virginia district
was then called up under agreement to
vote at 2:30 p. m. to-day briggs ad-
dressed the house in support of the claim
of the sitting member, Young.
The vote on the substitute resolution
to allow Young, the sitting member, to
retain his seat resulted: Yeas, 1870:
Nays, 129. This caused great excitement
and the vote is being recapitulated.
Speaker Henderson announced his vote
in favor of Wise, thus making the vote
tie, 100 to 100. On recapitulation the
resolution allowing Young to retain his
seat was defeated 12S to 1872. Richard
son moved to reconsider the vote and
Weeks moved to lay the motion on the
table.

WAS GENUINE CASE
Of BUBON|C PLAGUE

San Francisco, March 12.-At a special
meeting of the board Of health. held to
consider the plague situation, there were
present, besides the members, Dr. Kin
yeun federal quarantine officer: DR. Gar
pftal service, and Professor Armstrong
of the University of California. DR.. Kim
youn reported that all of the animals at
the quarantine station on Angels island.
which were inoculated with virus from
the body of the Chinaman who expired
few days ago under suspicious circum-
stances, had died. with the exception of
q monkey. and it was in dying condi-
tion. An autopsy on the rats and guinea
pigs showed that they had developed
symptoms of the genuine buboNic plague.
After discussing the matter. the board
decided that the Chinaman who died at
1901 Dupont street had been afflicted with
the plague. A request was made for 100
volunteers from among members Of the
medical profession. to make a house to
house examination and aid the board in
thoroughly fumigating and disinfecting
the entire Chinese quarter.
"A quarantine was not declared, but
the board adjourned at an early hour this
morning to meet at noon today. when it
is predicted that such action will be
taken.
The board Of health has agreed that
the work Of inspecting Chinatown with
view to improving its sanitary condi-
&ocs shall be begun at once. The Sec
