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 much
greater fear of the devilfish, the green
moray and the swordfish. There seems
to be unanmity of opinion that the
shark and the octopus will not attack
boat, while the others which have
been mentioned will. And. moreover,
the attacks of the devilfish, the moray
and the swordfish are a great deal
more terrific than those of the shark
and the octopus.
The devilfsh is large ray which
infests the warm waters of the At
lantic. 1t attains a weight of a ton
and a half, has horrible looking teeth
and a barbed, poison holding spike in
its tail which it uses with tremendous
effect when it assails a party in q
boat The green moray is to be met
with off the coast of Bermuda. 1t re-
sembles conger ell, but is green in
color. The moray is reckoned the most
savage inhabitant of any water.

Sticking to the pisaareeable Job.


1t is the man who can stick to the
disagreeable job, do it 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 a
great purpose and who holds himself
to his aim, whether it is agreeable or
disagreeable, whether he feels like it
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 If we did not
do it.
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 it is our
duty, and to keep this up year in and
year out require heroic qualities.-Suc-

The Pilot.
Original.

When Ben Paddock shipped with me
for an able seaman he was absolutely
disabled and sailed simply to be saved
from himself Ben had been a decent
fellow and had a wife and two little
children. but drink captured him, rem
dering 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 rghted, like ship after a
squat, and his own real identity reas-
serted itself Fortunately for him, we
were off for a long voyage, and there
was not drop of liquor aboard ship
except under my charge, and never
gave Ben a drop from the time we
sailed till we got back to the port we
had left three years before. l 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 l often stayed

The Year and the Calendar.

After Julius Caesar corrected the cal
endar the year was still II minutes
IA seconds too long. amounting to
one day in 12S years. AS the centuries
passed the interval between the COM
mencement of the year and the spring
equinox grew less. 1t was not. how
ever. until 1882 that anything was done
about it. Then Pope Gregory XIII. set
out to remedy the difficulty. This he
did by directing the suppression of ten
days outright. In order to provide for
the future he ordered that all century
years Q70O. 1900, etc. which would
ordinarily be leap years should be COM
mon years unless they were multiples
Of 400. This arrangement. which still
holds good. leaves only one day too
much in 3.4O0 years. A French scien-
fist has proposed dropping an addl-
tional day in the year 5000 and repeat
ing the process every 5000 years This
would leave us short one day every
10000 years. which may be considered
correct enough for all practical pur-
poses. At any rate. the matter is not
pressing.-New York Post.

Gaping THE WIGS.
Official Visit of London's Lord Mayor
to the Law Courts.

Official Visit Of London's Lord Mayor
to the Law Courts.
A curious survival of medieval GUS
tom is witnessed in London ON every
lord mayors day. This is an official
visit of the lord mayor to the law
courts. In old times the sovereign
himself awaited at Westminster the
coming Of the lord mayor in a chariot
Of state with sword bearer, mace hold
er, chaplain and gorgeOusly liveried
coachmen and footmen. The forms
have been changed, and the visit is
now paid to the high court, but the
spirit of the act remains, for the lord
mayor opens his term in the Mansion
House with ceremonial involving rec
ognition of the supreme authority of
the crown.
The instrument used for expressing
this traditional idea is an old fash
Toned cooked hat. When the lord may
or in his splendid robes of Office en-
tiers the high court with his retinue in
costume he solemnly lifts his cooked
hat three times from his head and sa-
lutes the lord chief justice and the
justices.
The judges always wear robes and
wigs when in court. For lord mayors
day they have also a fiat black cap,
which can be slipped over the top Of
the wig. The lord chief justice and his
associates return the lord mayors sa-
lutte gravely but do not take off their
black caps. If they were to do this,
they would place the crown on a level
Of equality with the municipality.
The lord mayor, with his retinue,
then visits the judges in other courts
to invite them to the Guildhall BAN
quet. When the rustling noise of the
procession is heard each judge fumbles
In drawer, pulls out little square
of black cloth and crowns his wig !
with 1t. The lord mayor takes off his
three cornered hat three times, and the
justice on the bench bows, but remains

Bull Drowned.

Elk Sheriff Harvey r. Lease
lost a very valuable bull by
drowning on Wednesday last. In
company with his bro: her in law,
Mr.. GraysOn Sanner, they were
driving the animal near Middle
town, with some other cattle. 1t
had gotten into stream which
was swollen, and they got it out,
but after going short distance,
it ran back and got into the
stream again. Getting into the
current, it was carried down, and
having log fastened to its neck
with a chain, it was unable to
swim, and was drowned.

in several neighbOring cities with his
accounts of the native advancement in

This mans history reads like ro-
nance At the age Of twelve years he
was a little naked child, running wild
in the forest of his native land. but
was then adopted by an English lady
and given all the advantages of a first
class education, later on graduating
from Christ's church university with
high hOnors and the degree of Master
of Arts. Today he is one Of the most
polished and gifted of platform orators
and tells in thrilling and convincing
language the story of the rapid devcl-
opment of his country and people since
coming under Christian influences.
The natives of New Zealand have lit
orally passed from savagcry and can
nibalism Of the worst kind to civiliza-
ton and advancement Of the foremost
order in a period of sixty years. No
other tribes Of wild people have made
such rapid advancement.
In Rev. Mr.. RaWei's address Sunday
reference will be made to some of the
customs OF the New Zealanders and
some Of the native clothes of grass,
feathers and shells produced by these
primitive people hundreds of years be-
fore the coming Of the white man, will

The citizens of West Richmond are
practically all house owners and are
granted every privilege by the city to
pay their taxes regularly each year.
In view of this fact it seems it would
be more than fair if the city should
show come appreciation of this grow
ing section of Richmond and recog-
nize its right to adequate fire protec-
ton by placing new hose house west
of the river. The plea that the city
has not enough money to do so at pres
ent is no reason why 1t should not pre-
pare its expenditures for next year in
such way that the west side will be
accorded this deserved recognition.
