Cod Liver Oil From Sharks.

Shark spearing is a profitable indus
try in Malaysia, though attended by
an element of danger and no little ex-
element The chief value of the fish
is its liver. which yields an oil that is
refined in Europe and sold as cod liver
oil. In October the ocean sharks come
into the lagoon, between the barrier
reef and the atolls, to pair. At this
time they can be speared in large num-
bers by people skilled in catching them.
There are several species Of these
sharks, and they ordinarily run from
seven to fifteen feet in length. The
liver of a shark Of this size gives about
five gallons of oil. The sharks are
found in pairs, and the harpooners try
to kill the male first, for they are then
able to spear the female also, as II
does not desert its mate.

Beware of Cousins!

Cousins are not as simple as they
seem The very fact of being cous
in, or having a cousin, is complicated.
The laissez faire Of cousinship is both
eluding and deluding. Cousins will be
cousins. even If you did not choose
them. They: can borrow money from
you. visit you without being asked. tell
people they belong to your family. con
test your will. even fall in love with
you-and a. cousin once removed is
twice as apt to. Never completely
trust a cousin. Never depend on his
not doing any of these things. Never
take him for granted. The "cousinly
kiss" may or may not mean what it
means And cousins always do kiss
It's part of being cousins.
Not that cousins need necessarily
prove perilous. Once in a blue moon
they invite you to Europe or leave you
money, but that almost always takes
an aunt or an uncle.)-Atlantic.

A Joke on Himself. That Mark Twain

When Mark Twain was a resident
Of Hartford, Conn.,, he once called at
the office of DR.. Swan, a local special
list of considerable repute, to consult
him regarding a trivial ailment
The physician was inclined to be
rather arbitrary in his charges, was
very independent and disliked exceed
ingly to be consulted in regard to mi
nor ailments. In this instance lie
named a fee for his services that the
economically minded Clemens thought
excessive.
After a little argument Mr.. Clemens
declared that he would not pay any
such price as the physician asked. and
rose to leave. Just as he turned his
back on DR.. Swan a voice said dis
tinctly:
go along home, you old fool. your
Instantly Mark Twain wheeled
around, angry through and through
whats that, sir?" he roared at the
doctor. whats that you say?"
With smile that was cloying in its
sweetness DR.. Swan pointed to a cage
in the corner where his parrot was
swinging and chuckling with birdish
glee, and explained:
THAT is the gentleman who spoke tt
you. sir" Somehow the explanation
did not seem to reduce Mr. Clemens
anger very much, and he never entire

Without These Organs the Insect

The insects of the Diptera order. to

rudimentary remnants of another pair

either side Of the thorax behind the
wings. These organs are called bal

shown. are Indispensable in the main
tenance of equilibrium.
A fly from which they have been re-
moved cannot direct its fight, and If
it tries to fly from the edge Of table

course. dropping to the floor on, its
head about three feet away and falling

The similarity between these arti1-

MARCUS AURELIUs SMITH,
ARIZONA SENATOR, WILL
BE sIXTY-oNE TOMORROW

In most of the par1iaments of Am
erica and Europe the well-known
Smith family is represented, and IN
the United States Senate there are no
less than FIVE of the clan. Not the
least among them is Marcus Aure1ius
Smith, called Mark for short, who
represents the new State OF Arizona
For nearly a score of years as a vote
less delegate from the southwestern
Territory. Senator Smith labored 20
make Arizona a State, and, when sue
cess crowned his long efforts, a CRATE
full people promptly sent him back to
Washington, bedecked in a. senatorial
toga.
Marcus Aurelius will celebrate his
sixty-frst birthday tomorrow. A
farm house near Cynthiana, Ky, was
his birthplace, and his youth was
spent in the Blue Grass State. After
graduating from Pennsylvania univer-
sity, he was admitted to the bar. He
landed in Arizona some thirty-f1ve
years ago. and made such a hit that
the following year he became a pros
ecueting attorney. In 1886 he was elect
ed delegate to Congress, and on the
day of his arrival in Washington be-
gan the agitation for Arizona State
hood that was for years his sole oc-
eupation. He continued as a dele
gate except in three sessions of Con-
gress, until the great purpose of his
life was an accomplished fact. He
fought. tooth and toe-nail, against the
project to combine Arizona. and New
Mexico in one State. and was largely
instrumental in defeating that plan.
Senator Smith is one of the most
popular men in Washington. He was
educated at the same college as
Speaker Champ Clark, and is great
admirer of the Missouri statesman. AS
q, Democrat, Senator Marcus Aurelius
is expected to loom large in party

on both sides of the Atlantic have

elist, Beatrice Harraden, who was
born at Hampstead, England. forty
