A Shark Yarn.
From the Sydney (Australia) Telegraph.

From the Sydney (Australia) 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 Mowera the
ships company had remarkable and prob
ably unprecedented experience A great
gray shark, about twelve feet in length, was
hooked on a schnapper line, which broke.
A second time the big fish got on the
schnapper line, and escaped. Then large
shark hook with a chain was thrown out,
and the ravenous brute grabbed it, and was
caught. All hands, pilots, cook and press
men, 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
the crew ripped the monster open from the
head to the tail. The vital organs and en-
trails were thrown overheard, and then
both jaws were hacked out for the sake OF
securing the teeth. Nothing but the shell
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 away, re-
turned to the steamer, then went of 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.

Tired Mothers.

little elbow leans upon your knee
Your tired knee that has much to beart
A childs dear eyes are looking lovingly
From underneath thatch OF tangled hair
Perhaps you do not heed the velvet touch
Or warm, moist fingers folding you 90 tightf
You do not prize this blessing overmuch-
You almost are too tired to pray tonight
But 1t Is blessedness! year ago
did not see it as do today;
We are so dull and thankless and too slow
To catct the sunshine until 1t slips away
And now 1t seems surprising strange to me
That, while wore the badge of motherhood,
did not kiss more oft and tenderly
The little child that brought me only good.
And II some night, when you sit down to rest,
You miss this elbow from your tired knee
This restless curling head from off your breast
This lfsping tongue that chatters constantly;
II from your own the dimpled hands had slipped,
And ne er would nestle in your palm again;
If the white feet into their grave had tripped
could not blame you for your heartache then
I wonder so that mothers ever fret
At little children clingng to their gown,
Or that the footprints, when the days are wet,
Are ever black enough to make them frown.
If could find little muddy boot,
Or cap, or jacket, on my chamber floor,
II could kiss rosy, restless foot,
And hear it patter in my house once more;
If could mend broken cart today,
Tomorrow make kite to reach the sky
There is no woman In Gods world could say
She was more blissfuly content than L

Long Life Of Glover Seed.

From the New York Press.
I will bear witness to this: A farmer, in
order to grade the yard in front of his
house, removed mound that was known
to have existed over 100 years, digging
down some seven or eight feet from the
top. The earth was reddish clay, slightly
moist. Within twenty-four hours clover
was sprouting on the bald spot, and in
week the leaves covered the ground. The
seeds had lain dormant there more than
century Why cannot science explain this
phenomenon, familiar to every countryman
in this city: Cut down a pine forest and
scrub oak will grow on the land; cut down
an oak forest and scrub pine will grow?
The original forest may have been there
since the flood. 1 wonder If you were to
cut down all the forests of men what sort
Of stock would grow?
