The scRAPeooK HABIT.
Many Phases That the Fancy OF Collect.
ors Take.

With all the other epldemics present
and threatening, there runs along that
of Keeping scrapbook. Almost ev-
cry man, woman and child has 1t in
some stage or other for there are
many stages. Some never get beyond
the iirst-thnt of buying the best bool;
to be found and slowing away loosely
in II u bundle of clippings to be pasted
in at the first opportunity. The Op.
portunity never comes, really, hut just
threatens TO set IN every time one
who has passed through succeeding
stage tells of his experience. Some
persons again let their scraps accum.
ulnte and have one happy season of
pastng, while others paste from day
to day, almost from hour to hour,
the subjects suitable for the preserva-
tlon process.
There is no end to the variety of
things that may compose n scrapbook.
II may be u collection of ones own
illusions published or refused such
honor, or it may he simply newspaper
pictures or monograms, or hotel letter
heads, or souvenir postal cards, or
dance orders, or menus. or dramatic
criticisms, or book reviews, or rise
TO the dignity OF Il collection of opin-
ions on the Chinese situation or the
constitutional convention. Some are
capable of keeping as many scrap
books as there are subjects for them,
and thereby become the possessor of
a scrapbook library, to be consulted
once in Il decade on rainy days by the
compiler, and to be thrown into the
dust heap when the compller's heirs
and assignE are faced with the ques-
tion of what they shall do with it.
Perhaps one heir and assign In a
million will have amcng his emotional
assets fondness and respect for any
thing which is evidence of the de-
ceased compiler's handiwork, and so
cherish the collection; but the percent
age of folk so fine grained Is not larger
than this. AS this rare person Is not
of the kind to live long, probably his
heir will be sure 20 regard the whilom
treasure as rubbish. This sad fact
of the American average Is rather
worth thinking on by all the scrap
book makers as they set about n task
that they fondly and foollshly tell

Old Joe. tho Nlaht wntehmnn.
(From the Pail Mall Gazette, London.

(From the Pail Mall Gazette, London.)
How often on returning home late on Q
dreary winters night has our sympathy
gone out TO the poor old night Waterman
as he sat huddled up over his cage fire,
overlooking the excavations which our
City Council in their wisdom, or otherwise,
allow the different water companies TO
make so frequently in our congcsted
streets. In all weathers, and under all eli.
matte conditions, the poor old night watch
man is obliged to keep watch over the
companies property. and to see that the
red lights are kept burning. What life,
to be sure; what privations and hardships;
they have aches and pains, which nothing
but St jacobs Oil can alleviate
"Old Joe" is in the employ of the Lam
beth Water Works, and is well and favour
bly, known. He has been night watch.
man for many years. in the course of
which he has undergone many expe
riences What with wet and cold, he con.
tracted rheumatism and sciatica, which fair
ly doubled him up, and il began to look
serious matter for old Joe whether he
would much longer be able to perform his
duties, on which his good wife and himself
depended for livelihood, but as il hap
pened a passer-by, who had for some
nights noticed Old Joc's painful condition.
presented him with n bottle of st. Jacobs
Oil, and told him TO use it. Old Joe
followed the advice given; he crawled
home the next morning and bade his wife
rub his aching back with the st. jacobs
Oil "a gentleman gave him." and undoubt.
edly his wife did rub, for when Old Joe
went on duty at night he met his friend
and benefactor, TO whom he remarked: {:
Them oils you gave me, Guv'nor, did
give me a doing; they wuz like pins and
needles for time, but look at me now"
and Old Joe began to run and jump about
like young colt. All pain, stiffness and
soreness had gone; he had been telling
everybody he met what st. Jacobs Oil
had done for him Old Joe SAYS now he
has but one ambition in life, and that is
TO always to be able to keep bottle of
st. jacobs Oil by him, for he says there is
noth q like il in the world.
st. Jacobs Oil serves the rich and the
poor, high and low, the same way. II has
conquered pain for fifty years. and it will
do the same to the end of time. II has no
equal, consequently no competitor; it has
many cheap limitations, but simple facts
like the above tell an honest tale with
which nothing on earth can compete.

for himself in Kensington has recent.

81 years years ago. When the great

thought he was putting too great a

sound one, for last week this house
went for $4,000. It Is a red brick

BIG SHARKS VERTEBRATE AT
INTER-ISLAND WHARF.
Shark Must Have Been FUZZY 20 Feet
In Length-Presented to the Dl.hop
Museum.

quite a find was made at the inter-
Island wharf this morning and as the
result of the discovery, the Bishop Mu-
scum received one of the finest specl-
mems of the vertebrate of a shark seen
here in many months.
The employees were cleaning ii the
wharf and getting things to take Il
now appearance in anticipation Of the
arrival of the new president and gem
eral manager J. A. Kennedy who takes
hold of the new affairs of the company
today. A long box about twelve feet
long and four inches by four inches
was noticed in one corner of the wharf.
1t was thought that the box contained
a part of a shaft or some other ma
lChinery. There was no mark on the box
to tell to whom it had been shipped, so
the cover was taken off
Instead of finding the supposed shaft
the searchers discovered what was the
! backbone of a shark. The backbone
had been carefully packed in shavlngs
| and was intact. The backbone was II "
/ feet in length, but the most unusual
| feature of II was the diameter. Frank
Harvey who has been in the South Seas
and seen many sharks captured and cut
up, said that the owner of the backbone
must have been a shark of large size
as the backbone was much larger than
usually secured. 1t was estimated that
! the shark must have been at least q
feet in length.
The backbone had evidently been
shipped to Honolulu from one of the
other islands over a year ago, and as
no one had appeared to claim the tall
box, it had lain around the wharf. II
was decided to give the backbone tC
the Bishop Museum and the article was
hauled out there this morning.
No one has any idea from which ISL
and the sharks backbone was shipped
1t probably came from Hawaii, rs there
are more sharks off that island and es-
pecially the western coast than any OF
! the other islands
