COURAGE OF swoRDFIsH.
Will Attack Anything From a MAN.
Eating shark 90 n Ships Hull.

From the Portland (Me) Express.
They say" said a Commercial street
fish dealer, that New York will buy
any kind of fish that is offered for
sale. You know people around here,
with few exceptions, don't pretend to
eat founders, yet immense quantities
of them are sold to the New York mar
kets. Yes, it's great fish town, but
I'll tell you one thing that they
haven't been educated up to- It's eat
ing swordfish. Somehow they can't
seem to believe that the flesh is good
to eat In Boston, on the other hand,
they can't get enough of them during
the season, and in fact all through Mas
sachusetts and Maine swordfish is con-
sidered almost equal to halibut. The
hsh are usually most plentiful around
Block Island and Vineyard sound al
though good many are taken oil
along the Maine coast.
1T is an easy matter to locate the
sharp-nosed prowler of the sea, for,
like the pirate that he is, he carries
warning with him in the shape of
big, black fin that rises above the sur
face OF the water as he plows along in
search of something upon which to use
his sword. He is afraid of nothing,
and when enraged will attack anything
from a man-eating shark to a whale
or the BUTTON of big schooner
THE force of his thrust is terrible.
Weighing, as the fish frequently do,
four to six and seven hundred pounds,
and equipped in the head with a sharp
sword of bone three feet long, some of
these monsters can penetrate the thick
planking of vessels. An English bark

when out few days from Valparaiso
at feeling a sudden shock as though
the vessel had struck on a sunken
wreck.
They found that whatever had
struck them chung to the bottom of the
ship and shook her so that it was with
difficulty she could be steered. After
three days of tugging and twisting the
incubus, whatever ii was, cleared itself
and the ship steered as we'll as ever
On arrival at Valparaiso the vessel was
locked and an examination showed
that the cardboard strake, in this case

Il could tell you lots of cases of an
equally interesting nature. Some of
them the fishermen have related to me
here at the wharf, and others 1 have
read about. Take 1t all around. the
swordtish is dangerous sort of thing
to play with when he is in his native
element. The swords can be polished
so they will CLEAN like ivory, and there
is always a ready market for them.

Shakespeare, too. had trick of in
Producing the most glaring anachron-
isms-so glaring, in fact, that there is
more than a suspicion that they must
have been introduced consciously for
some unknown reason.
For instance, he makes a clock strike
in ancient Rome at a time more than
a thousand years before clocks were
invented, when such an event would
certainly have been the eighth wonder
of the world.
Quite regardless of the evidence of
geography, he transports Bohemia to
the seaside; and he introduces a print

enberg. He calmly introduces bill
lizard table into Cleopatra's palace, and
makes cannon familiar to King John
and his barons.
Thackeray was no mean rival to
Shakespeare in vagaries of this kind;
but in his case they appear to have
been the result of pure carelessness
and forgetfulness. The most fragrant
case perhaps, is where after burying
Lady Kew and effectively dismissing
her from the story, he brings her to
life again to help him out with his
plot: and in other cases his capacity
