Champion Shark Yarn.

From the Sydney Daily Telegraph.
The representatives of the principal Aus
tralian papers were taken out to sea about
fifty miles from Brisbane in the pilot boat
to meet Nine. Melba on September 16. She
was travelling from Canada to Australia by
the mail steamship Miowera. While the
pilot boat was waiting for the Miowera the
ships company had a remarkable and prob
ably unprecedented experience. A great
gray shark, about twelve feet in length,
was hooked on schnapper line, which
broke. A second time the big fish got on
the schnapper line. and escaped. Then
large shark hook with chain was thrown
out, and the ravenous brute grabbed it, and
was caught. All hands, pilots, cook and
pressmen, tugged the shark to the vessels
side. A huge hook on the anchor tackle
was put through his jaw and one eye, and
the fish was then hauled out of the water.
One Of the crew ripped the monster open
from the head to the tail The vital organs
and entrails were thrown overheard, and
then both jaws were hacked out for the
sake of securing the teeth. Nothing but
the shell of the fish remained, and the
shark was lowered overheard. A rush was
made to the side to see him sink but the
company was astounded to see the fish
make off. First he swan about fifty yards
off on another tack for about thirty yards.
came back to the vessel and swan astern,
and was still swimming when he was lost
sight of. That the fish could swim away
with the whole of his interior from head to
tail and the jaw and one eye gone simply
raised the hair of the pilots and crew. who
had never seen or heard of the like before.

oddities of sufficient beauty to be available
for domestic decoration. The proprietor is

THE GREAT SPRUCE GROUSE.
A Game Bird of the Northwest Some
times Known as the Fool Hen.


times Known as the Fool Hen.
From the New York Sun.
The great woods of the northwest contain
two varieties of grouse and the partridge
making three distinct varieties yet of
strongly similar appearance.
The ruffed grouse may always be distin-
guished by the ruff of longer feathers about
the neck. In the males this is black, in
the females it is shorter and brown.
The partridge is devoid of the ruff and it
is not feathered to the toes like the grouse.
1t is also considerably smaller than the
grouse, but it is practically of the same
celebration and it's habits are almost the
same.
1t affects the same kind of cover and eats
the same kind of food. 1t is not SO wild
as the grouse, and will lie much more
closely to the dog as well as permit near
er approach by man on foot.
I There is little or no difference in the
flesh of the two. The partridge is not so
numerous as the grouse. Indeed, Wiscon-
sin and Minnesota, cod as they are are
a little far south for it. 1t thrives best
and is most common in the unsettled coun-
try north of Lake Superior.
The other grouse is the great spruce
grouse. 1t lives in dense spruce thickets
and generally on marshy or semi-marshy
land. Further west, In the mountains of
Idaho, Montana and wyoming, 1t is known
as the fool hen because of its fearessness.
1t will often sit on limb over a road
some ten feet high and permit a man to
walk under 1t. Not infrequently it is
knocked down with a stick or pole.
1t Is at least one-half larger than the
ruied grouse and twice as big as the par
fridge. Its flesh, while there is a lot of it,
is never desirable; late in the season, when
it has fed for a long time upon spruce
buds only, it Is bitterly UNBEATABLE.
'la han &c of ha1 CHI r1rl,n
can be got to flush decently, as it goes fast
and far with a tremendous amount Of
wing clatter, but it is not much followed In
the northwestern woods mainly because it
is not good to eat. People up there are
utiitarian hunters and before they bring
anything to pot want to know that it is fit
for pot.
The spruce grouse, while not uncommon,
is not numerous and Is never found outside
of the peculiar territory it affects. Be
cause 1t lives on land that is almost solid
ly covered with spruce, 1t is not showed up
as are the partridge and ruffed grouse, and
it's proportionate loss from severe weather
Is much smaller.
The females do not raise large broodS
and it is unusual to see more than two
spruce grouse together. A covey of four
members is a big one.
