Giant Hawaiian Eels.

There are three well known varieties
OF eel found In Hawaiian waters. The
largest is the big gray fellow. which so
closely resembles his cousin, the con-
ger. He is voracious and fearless, and
the natives tackle him with caution, for
when cornered he fights viciously and
can 1nfiict a nasty wound with his
powerful jaws, which bristle with nee
dlelike teeth.
The other species are fat, fabby look
ing customers, with fantastic markings
of black and brown and many shades
OF gray. On an eel of this sort the skin
appears to hang loose from the body,
and when disturbed the head sweets
like puff adder's. These cells seldom
attain greater length than three feet
and love to locate in the crevices of a
stone breakwater. from which they
dart out necessarily and. make havoc
among any school of small fry which
may be innocently disporting them
selves within striking distance. These
hooded cells have been known to haunt
a particular spot for over a year. They
are good eating, despite their UMPIRE
possessing appearance.

The EishhaWk.

''The ffishhawk tells us when the
shad begin to run up the river" said a
Gloucester fisherman. 1--WE have learn.
ed that it isn't much use to cast the
nets, no matter how mild the weather
may be, until Mr.. Fishhawk swoops
down on US. When he comes sailing
up the bay, we know it's time to get tC
work. Lots of farmers down Jersey
would never think to start planting I'M
til the fishhawks come. I don't believe
they have ever been later than April
II, though. They work their way up
the coast from Florida and the other
southern waters early in March, whe1
the fish begin to come north. They fol
low the big schools Of herring, as a
rule, because the herring swim close to-
gether, and the hawk has easy picking.
The shad follow the herring, and when
the fishhawk comes we know the shad
are not far behind. "-Philadelphia Rec.

Primitive Fire Fighters.

AS late as the end of the sixteenth
century in London the sole method of
extinguishing fires was by means of
contrivances known as "hand squirts."
These were usually made of brass,
with carrying capacity ranging from
two to four quarts of water. The two
quart "squirts' were two and half
feet in length, one and half inches in
diameter at their largest part and but
half an inch at the nozzle. On each
side were handles, and three men were
required to manipulate squirt"
One man on each side grasped the
handle in one hand and the nozzle in
the other, while the third man worked
the piston or plunger. drawing it out
while the nozzle was immersed in a
supply of water which filed the cylin-
der. The bearers then elevated the
nozzle when the other pushed in the
plunger, the skill of the former being
employed in directing the stream of
water upon the fire. Such primitive
contrivances are said to have been
used during the great fire of 1866.

How Balzac Wrote.

Of all literary toilers Balzac was GER
tainly the most eccentric in his meth
DDS. At first he would write his nove
in few pages. hardly more than the
plot. These would be sent to the print
er, who would return the few printed
columns Of matter pasted into the cen
ter of several large sheets. On this mar,
gin Balzac would work, sketching his
characters, composing the dialogue and
perhaps altering entirely the original
plot of the book. For four or five times
this process was repeated until at last
the few columns had assumed the pro
portions of volume. This extraordi
nary way of building book naturally
ran away with considerable share OF
the profits on the work.-Golden Penny

The order was promptly rescinded
