FiEht With n SvvOrdfish.
TIM Now Rsdfnrd Standard


The crew of the Gloucester sloop Klon-
dixie, Capt Antonio F. Cunha and five
men, engaged in the swordfshing business.
at about II am. Saturday sighted a
monster swordfish lying on the surface Of
the water thirty-five miles southwest of
Norman's Land. The sloop was worked
quietly up to the big fish and harpoon
was thrown into it. The throw was not a
good one, and Auguste Sylvia was sent
out in a dory to put another iron into the
fish, which was struggling to get away.
Sylvia rowed right up on the swordfish
and jabbed the sharp iron home. He then
started to row out Of harms way The fish,
with two irons in him, began a desperate
struggle. He made sudden dart and with
an upward turn ran his long sword through
the bottom of the dory. The sharp sword
passed into the railing Of the craft and
stuck there The fish then turned in it's
fury and the dory was shaken about fear
fully.
Sylvia tried to clingAto the bow thwart,
but the big fish tossedpthe boat about like
an eggshell Sylvia was hurled overheard
Being clad in oflsxfns and rubber boots, he
sank immediate elyfe, Hs was not seen after
ward. The big fish, which weighed nearly
500 pounds, dashed the dory against the
side of the Klondfke, and this was its last
struggle for it broke off it's sword near its
nose and was then pulled on board the
Sloop .

From the London Chronicle.
We have in the London area-or we had
on the first day Of this year-as many as
21.369 registered pauper lunatics. The ma
jority of these are at Colney Hatch, Han
well, Banstead, Cane Hill, Ciaybury and
Bexley. We note from the report of the
council that the council would by this time
have had a number of auxiliary receiving
houses If its scheme for providing these
had received little more jealous consider
alton from the lord chancellor, to whom 1t
was referred at the end of last year. But
ii required an act of parliament to carry
IL into effect, and that, we need hardly say
was beyond the powers and capacities OF
the present government The number OF pau
per lunatics which We have quoted above
includes some $500 imbeciles, resident in
the independent asylums of the metropoli-
tan board. One of the most astonishing
facts in this elaborate report is its COM
parison of the number of lunatics in 1901
with the corresponding number in 1890.
Eleven years ago the total number was l6,-
35S, little more than three-Quarters of the
total reached this year. The increase is
entirely in the number of lunatics under
control of the county council, and It arises
tion and more thorough administration OF
the law. Comparing our pauper lunatics
with the population of the county of Lon
dom which exceeds four millions and a half.
we have the somewhat startling fact that
the madmen are to the relatively sane in
the ratio OF Al. whereas ten years ago the
corresponding ratio was oniy~3,9. Bot. as
we have suggested. figures go for little in
the face of a jealous organizing body like

Remarkable Reading Records.


A venerable divine residing in a northern
city claims that ne has read the entire
works OF Charles Dickens no fewer than a
dozen times nor has he ''skipped' passages
here and there, having performed the
peasant TASK with faithful exactitude.
This feat would seem in the nature of a
record and 1t Is doubtful whether it has
ever been beaten. even by the most en-
thusiastic admirers Of the renowned nov.
elist.
remarkable In another direction was the
record Of an old Cheltenham lady who
claimed that during an existence of sixty
eight years she had read some 10 900 works
or nction, this constituting an average Of
some $50 per annum for each year of her
life. This extraordinary achievement how
ever, was beaten by that of Wiltshire
lady, who contrived to read 275 novels Of
considerable length in one year, veritably a
marvellous feat.
An American minister, whilst lecturine TO
an assembly of young men on ''Tbe Pleas
ures of Literature" stated that during his
poyhood he had often persued in a single
day dozen sermons, half dozen religious
magazines, together with a philosophical
work running into several hundred pages
and that, moreover. he had contrived to
bear In mind the salient points of his vast
reading.
A gentleman whom the present writer
once encountered in the train surrounded
by all sorts and conditions of periodicals
informed him that his daily reading area
covered no fewer than five newspapers In
the morning. together with five in the even
Ing. Sandwiched between the two patches
of journals he was In the habit of reading
some four or five periodicals, humorous, IL
Illustrated and social. Moreover, he de-
voured two novels from the circulating
library per week, SO. that altogether his
powers of concentration must have been as
great as they were abnormal
