A vORACIOUS FISH.

The piranha (Serrasalrno pirayO is a very abundant fish over the whole of equatorial America. It is about eight inches long and four inches deep, with a thickness of two inches or less, Its jaws are furnished with very sharp triangular teeth, placed irregularly. The black shows bluish reflections, while the sides Of the belly are red; the body is covered with little scales.
 This little fish is a fierce and ex- tremely voracious flesh eater, and what seems very curious is that in. the is-
 land of Marajo, situated at the mouth of the Amazon, it has become an act ual pest to cattle raisers.
 The piranha lives in shoals in the rivers and brooks of the delta, going up with the tide as far as the mead- ows, having allowed itself to be sur-
 priser by the ebb. In such cases it is often found in such quantities that the natives have no trouble in killing it by hundreds by the most rudimentary pro llcesses, and often merely with their machetas.
 At the beginning of the rainy season that is to say, toward January-these fish ascend, tho water courses and spread over the meadows submerged
 by the rains and which remain under the water until July, and often until the end of August. During all this time the piranha lives in the meadows feeding upon whatever falls to his teeth. Cattle are then exposed to in-
 cessant attacks. It is COWS and mares
 that have the most to suffer from its
 voracity. In the farm Dumas, Island oi

pearance. Scores of American sailors in the naives on either side of the al- tar gave fitting background to the imposing scene.
 After brief religious services General Porter, wearing evening dress, accord ing to the French custom, with the red sash of the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor across his breast, advanced along side the casket and formally de- livered the body to MT. Loomis, as the representative of the United States gov ernment, who accepted it in the name of the government and commissioned Admiral Sigsbee to transport it to the United States.
 As the surpliced choir took up My Country Tis of Thee the entire assem- blaze rose and joined in the strains of the patriotic hymn. Eight brawny sailors from the Brooklyn then stepped forward and raising the casket on their shoulders bore it slowly from the church to the waiting gun carriage. This was draped with the national coiors and was drawn by six black horses. The casket was covered with flags and flowers and bNSNA The cortege was now formed and pro ceeded along the Avenue de TAlma, the Champs Elysees, across the Alexander bridge to the Esplanada des Invalides, Republican guards lined each side of the avenues, holding back the dense throngs, while all the converging streets were closed by barriers to prevent a crush.
 Heading the procession came squad 1 Ion of Cuirassiers, in glittering helmets and breastplates, stretching from curb to curb, with division of infantry un- der General Frey. After them rumbled the gun caisson bearing the flower laden coffin with guards of American sailors on either side. Back of the coffin was long line of distinguished officials head ed by Ambassador Mccormick, Special Ambassadors Porter and Loomis, Pre- mier Rouvier and his cabinet, the for eign ambassadors and French, generals l and admfraIs all walking according to the French custom. The appearance of the detachment of 800 American sail- ors and marines was the signal for ex- pressions of enthusiasm all along the line. Another French division cofnpos- ed of infantry, cavalry and artillery closed the cortege.
 Arriving at the Esplanade des In- valides, an imposing picture was pre- scented. The French government had erected a large pavilion in which to de- posit the coffin. The pavilion was rich ly hung with crimson velvet, with mar tial emblems and battle axes, entwined flags and row of brass field pieces along the front. Nearby rose the gild- ed dome of the tomb of Napoleon.
 The casket was deposited in the cen- ter of the pavilion while the cortege passed, rendering military honors. Later it was borne to the Invalides railway station and placed in a funeral car
 where, guarded by French and Amer
 ican sailors, it started for Chhrbourg at l 10 o'clock tonight.

ODD NOTIONS
OF GOLFERS

Golf has it's superstitious side the
same as other sports. While it can
not be said that golfers are supersti-
tious as a class, yet many prominent
players have odd notions as to what
may bring them good or bad luck in
a tournament or match. From time
to time every golfer as he steps up
to the teeing eSound will find per-
fectIy nodded little sand tee left by
some player who has driven so clean
ly as not to disturb the hummock Of
sand.
OF course it is less trouble to place
the ball on the ready-made tee, but
very few will yield to the temptation
There's a belief that to do SO means
bad luck.
1t occasionally happens that after
player has teed his ball and has taken
his stand about to drive the ball will
either move or topple off the tee. This
is considered bad luck by some, while
others maintain it to be a good omen.
In the recent play-off between Alec
Smith and Will Anderson, for the
Metropolitan Golf Association open
championship at Fox Hills, Smiths
ball started to roll while he was in
the act of driving from the sixth tee.
A sliced drive resulted, but the ball
brought up to a good lie and no harm
was done. A few moments later
Smith topped his second shot going to
the seventh, and half topped his drive
from the ninth tee, neither mistake
doing any damage.
There is an old Scottish superstition
that the person standing 2 up with
and it is also said to be bad luck to
win the first hole-"winners, first;
losers, last is the version. For all
that there are very few golfers who
take the first hole.
Another hoodoo is for a player to hit
the turf behind the ball for the putting
green. 1T is hard luck in itself but the
true explanati ton is usually in bad play,
the same as when q loser names off the
green's where he took three puts as
proof of bad luck
When playe-s rated evenly clash
luck seems to play a prominent part,
and while nearly all are superstitious,
thus far they have found no antidote
for the baleful power that leads the
best of shots astray.
Bad temper is not apt to cure the
trouble, though when patience ceases

DIAMOND HEAD
ATHLETES BUSY

The Diamond Head association foot
ball team is putting in some good prac
tice work and promises to make a bold
bid for championship honors.
Among those in training are E. Fer
nandez (capt), Pat Gleason, E. Desha,
G. Desha, En- Sue, Akana, Williams.
Sam Chillingworth, E. Grune, J. H.
Fiddes.
The team looks like being very fast.
The Diamond Heads play their first
league game on January 6, against the
IolaniS.
Grune, who plays full back for the
Heads, played football for several years
in Germany. -Four years ago he play
ed full back for the Hono1ulus in their
championship game against the Males.
The Diamond Head track men are
training every afternoon at the Boys
Field on Liliha street, and the tussle
for first honorS between them, the
Rams and the Y. NJ. c. A. promises to
be an exceedingly interesting one.

IOLANIS WIN
SOCKER GAME

The first Association football game
of the season was played yesterday
afternoon at Makikf, the opposing
teams being the Y. NJ. c. A. and the

The game was a good one consider
ing the earliness of the season and
the fact that many of the players
We're short of condition.
The Iolanis scored two goals in the
first half but in the second period the
Initials got going and notched a point.
The game brought out a number Of
old players and several new ones.
Considering that the Y. NJ c. A.
eleven was making its debut yesterday
the boys did remarkably well and
should win many games this season.

Smith about the High School fence. a
landscape artist should be here per-
manently.
F. J. Lowrey agreed with the sug-
gestions in general. 1t is interesting
to note that Mr.. Lowrey is among the
first to lower his fence in accordance
with the plan to open premises out to
the streets.
Mr.. Wilder referred to depredations
of some one recently in removing all
palms two years old from in front of
the premises of W. L. Hopper, Ma
kiki He thought the Supervisors should

this kind punishable.

fences up owing to the depredations of
horses and cattle. Formerly he had
often paid the poundkeeper to come
up to his section to gather in live
stock
The concensus of opinion was that
the poundmaster should enforce the
law and keep stray animals off the
streets. In that case many fences
would be lowered and the premises
otherwise beautified.

to health, are countless in number.
One such experience is as follows:

it. / used to suffer with boils and skin
eruptions, attended with great lassitude
and exhaustion. In fact, / was so i'll that
] could not attend to my business. Being
advised to try Ayers Sarsaparilla, did so,
and l am happy to say that the medicine
restored me to perfect health. Ihave since
used Ayers Sarsaparilla for my children, in
