The Most Dangerous fish.

The shark and the octopus are usu-
ally looked upon as the most danger
Gus among the denizens of the deep.
but 1t appears that fishermen who fire.
quent tropical waters have a much
greater fear Of the devildsh, the green
moray and the swordish. There seems
to be unanlmity OF opinion that the
shark and the octopus will not attack
a boat, while the others which have
been mentioned will. And, moreover,
the attacks Of the devilhsh, the moray
and the swordhsh are great deal
more terrific than those Of the shark
and the octopus.
The devilhsh Is a large ray which
infests the warm waters of the At
Iantic. 1t attains a weight Of ton
and a half, has horrible looking teeth
and barbed, poison holding spike in
its tail which Il uses with tremendous
effect when 1t assans a party in a
boat The green moray b to be met
with of the coast Of Bermuda. 1t re-
sembles a conger ell, but is green in
color. The moray is reckoned the most
savage inhabItant OF any water.

Sticking to The DisagreeabIe JOB.

Sticking to the Disagreeable job.
1t is the man who can stick 10 the
disagreeable job, do 1t with energy and
vim, the man who can force himself
to do good work when he does not feel
like doing it--in order words, the man
who is master Of himself, who has
great purpose and who holds himself
to his aim, whether 1t Is agreeable or
dlsagreeable, whether he feels like IL
or does not feel like it-that wins.
1t Is easy to do what Is agreeable, TO
keep at the thing we like and are en-
thusiastic about, but it takes real grit
to try to put our whole soul into that
which is distasteful and against
which our nature protests, but which
we are compelled to do for the sake OF
others who would suffer IL we did not
do IL
To go every morning with a stout
heart and an elastic step, with cour-
age and enthusiasm, to work which we
are not fitted for and were not intend
ed to do, work against which our very
natures protest just because 1t Is our
duty, and to keep this up year In and
year out require heroic qualities.-Suc-
cess Magazine.

The Pilot.
original.

When Ben Paddock shipped with me
for an able seaman be was absolutely
disabled and sailed simply to be saved
from himself. Ben had been decent
fellow and had a wife and two little
children, but drink captured him, rem
derlng him of no use to them and only
a burden to himself Indeed, he was
burden to them also till he left them.
Once aboard and subject to discipline
he slowly righted, like a ship after a
sQuall, and his own real identity reas-
serted itself. Fortunately for him, we
were off for a long voyage, and there
was not a drop of liquor aboard ship
except under my charge, and never
gave Ben drop from the time we
sailed till we got back to the port we
had left three years before. liked
Ben Paddock and did everything
could to help him get rid of the habit
that had ruined him. persuaded him
not to take shore leave when we made
ports, and at such times often stayed

Poured Lead Into His Ear,

James H. Conkling, whom the
physicians have been watching for
some time with great interest, is
dead. On December "a Conkling,
who was tinsmith and also conduct
ed a hardware store, was found on
the floor of his shop in an unconsc-
ious condition.
His right ear and the cavities of his
head were filled with hard lead.
! vConkling had apparently melted the
ylead, and, laying his head on a work
bench, poured the molden mass in
his ear with suicidal intent. The
lead was drilled out Of the ear, but
the surgeons dared not operate to re-
move the lead from the cavity back
of the ear. as it lay so near the brain.
1t was not expected the man could
live twenty-four hours. However,
he recovered consciousness and his
mental faculty. The brain parti-
ton was burned and recently blood
poisoning set in.
Mr.. Conkling was relative of the
late Roscoe Conkling. Washington

BURNS AND ROCHE
 MAY NOT FIGHT
The American Heavyweight is Handi-
 capped by an Injured Eye.

London. March 13.-The fight be- tween Tommy Burns the American heavy weight fighter and Jim Roche of Dublin on March r, unless Burns in jured eye becomes so bad as to prove d serious handicap. Burns wrote the Dublin promoters asking them if they would consider a postponement on ac- count of the injury. They made no reply but in interviews they declared themselves much against a change Of date, saying that the house had been sold out and there would be difficulty in getting together another time such a big crowd of spectators. The fight therefore will take place as scheduled unless Burns eye grows worse. It is decidedly better tonight. Burns says he is prepared to go into the ring. He says he is willing to wait until he re- turns to the United States to meet Johnson, believing, that some western club, after his success in England will offer a large purse for such q contest

New York, March 13-The stock market lapscd back into dullness to- day. The decrease or aetUlty was ac- cOmpanied at uncertain times by a feverish price movement. Prices rose rapidly the last half hour to a strong closing. Much attention continued to be directed toward Washington and reports from the White House of a denial that an investigation of the stock exchange had been ordered at tracted much attention. Union Pacific was actively dealt in during thaG early period of weakness in the market The action of few stockholders demand ing an accounting of the directors as to purchases of Illinois Central and other stocks by individual directors was connected with the movement.

The fact that but two months will be allowed between the arrival of the fleet at San Francisco, and the departure for the far east in- dicates that no serious repairs are needed by the vessels.
