THE NAVIGATING SHARK.

Under the heading: Sharks Do Ea
Mer," Eastern exchanges print the ac
companying item to be followed, per
| haps. by the discovery and assurance
| that hawks do eat chickens and that
dogs do gnaw bones:
To those who are somewhat skepti-
cal as to the existence of man-eating
sharks, the results of investigations
tucket. Mass, and printed by the
Springfield (Mass.) Republican. may be
OF interest. He has interviewed old
whalers and other mariners of that
town and found several who said they
had been eye-witnesses of fatal en-
counters of men with these sea mon
sters. They gave dates, localities, ships
and names OF victims.
The impression among people of the
fresh-water districts of the United
States that sharks do not modest men
is not of long standing, but it IS te-
nacious enough to pass for an undis-
puted truth. About ten years ago Her
man Oelrichs offered to pay a large
sum for proof that any human being
had ever been bitten by a shark in wa
tiers north OF the 32nd degree of north
latitude. The offer was widely read
and the proof was not Forthcoming.
so in course OF time its details were
lost sight OF and people came to be-
lieve that Mr.. Oelrichs referred to wa
tiers anywhere. practically asserting
the belief that sharks never prey upon
the human species.
All jewellers in the tropics and all
ocean sailors, OF course know better.
They are aware that the wolf OF the
sea snaps up man as readily as the
wolf of the land pulls one down. Con-
ceding that there are many species of
the shark that avoid man, they yet
know that the man-eating selachian is
as actual a presence as any other fish
that swims the brine. Lately there
has been some Photographic proof of
this in the form of an extraordinary
picture in the Illustrated London
News. 1t seems that, while a steamer
was anchored near Alden, a passen-
ger turned his camera upon a swim
ming native. whose boat had cap
sized. Just as the bulb was pressed.
a shark came up from below and seiz-
ing the poor fellow carried him clear
out of the water. The whole scene
was transferred to the negative-the

The plan to make Kawaiahao church
a sort Of Hawaiian Westminster Alb
hey. in which the names of the white
and native people who were distin-
guished for Christian work and faith in
the missionary days may be preserved
on tablets and in memorial windows
IS one that must greatly interest Ho-
nclulu. Kawaiahao's site was the
scene of the first Christian sermon
preached in this place and the old
church has been identified with strik-
ing incidents of native religious and
monarchical life. In the churchyard
are buried some of the original mis-
sionaries and many of the converted
chiefs and people. Now that Kauma
kapin has gone from its old site and
lost much of it's distinction, Kawaia-
hao is the only church edifice which
could be used, with historic propriety.

La Rochelle has invited the squadron

Such call would be fitting. not only
as a compliment to France but to a
city which made much of John Paul

times. sent a great body of Huguenots
to America, descendants of whom are

A LONG CHRISTMAS.
Porto Rico Celebrates from December
Almost to Easter Sunday.


The Porto Rican boys and girls
would be frightened out of their wits
if Santa Claus should come to them
in a sleigh drawn by reindeer and
should try to enter the houses and
fill their stockings. Down there, San
ia Claus does not need reindeer or
any other kind of steeds, for the
children say that he just comes fly
ing through the air like a bird.
Neither does he bother himself look
ing for stockings, for such things
are not so plentiful in Porto Rico
as they are in cooler climates. In
stead of stockings, the children use
little boxes, which they make them
selves. These they place on the roofs
and in the courtyards, and old Santa
Claus drops the gifts into them as
he flies around at night with his bag
on his back.
He is more generous in Porto Ri
co than he is anywhere else. He does
not come on Christmas v only, but
is likely to call around every night
or two during the week. Each morn
ing, therefore, the little folks run out
eagerly to e whether anything more
has been left in their boxes during
the night.
Christmas in Porto Rico is a
church festival of much importance,

It is good practice in woodcraft
to notice the empty "hickory' nut
shells you find in the forest, for Of
ten by the character of the cuttings
you can tell what manner of animal
has been eating them. Whenever you
see a nut cut in this irregular way
you may be pretty sure that there
are red squirrels about. If the top
is cut off evenly all around the cut
ting was done by a chipmunk, and
if the top is cut off at a slant the
work was performed by a flying
squirrel. The whitefooted mouse
eats h~ickory-nuts, too, but his teeth
are SO short, comparatively, that he
is obliged to make two round holes,
each at one of the fiat sides of the
nut. The gray squirrel first cuts a
hole in the nut, then inserts his long
teeth, and by using them as levers
breaks the shell into little bits.-Se-

Indian Boyhood.

4AO40A OOJAOOO"
"What boy would not be an In
dian for awhile when he thinks of the
freest life in the world" asks the
Indian writer, Mr.. Charles A. East
man, in his book, Indian Boyhood.'
But while Indian boys have the free
dom of the woods, they have a more
severe training than white boys, to
fit them for what their tribe believes
to be the duties of manhood. Mr..
Eastman thus recalls his own expe-
rience:
It seems to be a popular idea that
all the characteristic skill of the In
dian is instructive and hereditary.
This is a mistake. All the stoicism
and patience of the Indian are ac-
quired traits, and continued practice
alone makes him master of the art
of woodcraft.
Physical training and dieting were
not neglected. I remember that I
was not allowed to have warm beef
soup or any warm drink. The soup
was for the old men. General rules
for the young yer never to take
their food very hot, nor to drink
much water.
My uncle, who educated me up to
the time when I was fifteen years of
age, was a strict disciplinarian and
a good teacher. When I left the
teepee in the morning he would say,
"Hakadah, look closely to everything
you see," and at evening, on my re-
turn, he used often to catechize me
for an hour or so:
con which side of the trees is the
lighter-colored bark? On which side
do they have the most regular
branches 2"
1t was his custom to let me name
all the new birds that 1 had seen dur
ing the day. I would name them ac-
cording to the color, or the shape OF
the bill, or their song, or the appear.
ance and locality of the nest; in fact
anything about the bird that i'm.
pressed me as characteristic.
"Hakadah," he would say to me
"you ought to follow the example Oh
the shunktokecha (the wolff. Ever
when he is surprised and runs fol-
his life, he will pause to take one
more look at you before he enters hi;
final retreat. So you must take {
second look at everything you see.'
All boys were expected to endure
hardship without complaint. In say
age warfare a young man must, oil
course, be an athlete, and used to un

must be able to go without food and
water for two or three days without
displaying any weakness, or to run
for a day and a night without any
rest. He must be able to traverse a
painless, wild country without losing
his way either in the day or at night.
He cannot fall short in any of these
things if he aspires to be a warrior.

The boat arrived in the city yester-

The fro in Padueah night before

too many dangerous huts and houses
