thousands of children are passing
through English elementary schools with
little other result from their education
than opthalmia, spine curvature, nervous
irritahility and the seeds of consumption.

Caught Big Shark on Fish Line.

While fishing off the terminal dock
about noon yesterday n. Gonzales
hooked an cight-foot shoycl-nose shark
and drew it up to the dock with an or
binary fish line.
The monster vas easily drawn in and
made but little resistance until heaving
line was thrown over him and the slip
knot began to tighten, and then the fun
commenced. The water was dashed into
foam for many feet around and the
strength of several men was required to
prevent its escape. Two boat hooks were
finally brought into play on the back
and sides of the big fish aud very soon
it was conquered and hauled on the dock.
