CAMPAIGN
BEGIN FIGHT ON SELLERS
OF CHEAP WARE.
Manufacturers Warn Purchasers to
Look for mark" Before
They Buy.

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-Manufacturing
jewelers. in New York and other places
have started a campaign against the SELL
ers of fraudulent jewelry.
The stamping act, passed by Congress
at the request of the jewellers, provides for
a penalty in cnse jewellery is stamped as
of a higher grade than 1t really is. This
has been effective but as the law does not
require stamping there ere dealers who
sell unstamped jewelry or jewelry from
which the mark has been removed.
Manufacturing jewellers now warn all
purchasers tina they should look for the
stamp Oil all the jewelry they buy and
should also look for the mark OF the
manufacturer.

PILOT FISH SHARES
SHARKS CAPTIVITY

The big thirteen-foot shark cd the
Aquarium. has been visited by large
number ofspeople since he was hauled
over the coral reef and put into the
big tank on Saturday last. Thirteen
feet of shark is bigger than thirteen feet
OF almost anything else, and the big
fish keeps the tank water in swirl as
he swims ceaselessly about looking for
an avenue of escape back to the open
sea.
Sharing the captivity of the shark is
pilot fish, some ten inches long, which
clings close to the sandpaper hide of
the selachian just abaft the big dorsal
fin, making little dashes from its ref
uge there along the sharks back from
time to time. returning always to rest
in the lee of the fin as the big fish
swings around and around his cramp-
ed quarters. Pilot fish accompany
sharks about in deep water, nearly
every one of the monsters having one
or more of these little companions, but
it seems extraordinary that the pilot
fish at the Aquarium should stick to
his big friend throughout all the ex-
element that prevailed during his cap
ture and ultimate transfer to the tank.

FAR BEYOND ALLOTTED SPAN.
Records of Men Who Long Evaded the
 Reaper's scythe.

In these days, when man Is consid- cred too old at 40," it is refreshing to learn that there is at Constantinople a veteran called Hadji Raouf who Is still young enough to earn his living as a saddle maker in his one hundred and thirty-third year and who has ten more years to go before he can tie his fathers record of life. Even such ex- treme age as this would not be thought much of in Peru, where Tschu- di discovered the baptismal record, 142 years before, of an Indian who was still alive: and where the church registers at Barranca revealed Il bur ials in seven years, giving an average of 109 years to each individual When Humboldt was at Lima he saw the flu neral of an Indian, one Hilario Pari, who was born 143 years earlier, and whose wife died at IF, after 90 years of wedlock. Only few years ago, too, there was living in New Jersey Noah Baby, son of an Indian father and white mother. who had enjoyed his pipe for 120 years, and was still able to enjoy 1t at 12S; and at the same time Valencia's oldest inhabitant was mason, ''still hale and hearty, who had passed his one hundred and thirtieth birthday.

Billy Sanders. Not big trouble, tooby shore. but jest big enough to make 'em stick closer to- gether It ain't no use to try to rub out the fact that life Is what 1t is. It's full of rough places, an thar are times when you have to leave the big road an take shortcut through the bam. boo briers for to keep from slippin' in mud-hole, The briers hurt. but the mud-hole thought smifiiicate you. It ain't no use to deny it, trouble is sea. sonin'. never knowd it to hurt any body but the weak-minded, the wilful. an them that was born to the purple.
