Truth About Sharks.

Recent investigations by New
York scientist seem to show that the
ferocious reputation Of certain great
tropical sharks is founded to n large
extent on exaggeration. Most of the
stories of savage attacks by these
brutes become less and less sensational
the more closely they were investignt-
ed. 1t was even found that many Of
the species Of shark have weak jaws
and teeth. so that they find trouble In
tearing meat from dead whale. Ger
tain kinds of sharks are, of course.
highly dangerous animals, but the bulk
of the tribe would seem to be less for.
midable than their reputation implies.
II was found that in some Of the larger
species blow from the tall was a
more effective attack than one deliv-
cred with the jaws.

Consecrated Rella.

Bells were anciently consecrated be-
fore they were raised to their places.
This applied not only to church bells,
but to others. Each was dedicated to
some divine parsonage, saint or martyr.
One of the finest bits of word painting
in Shakespeare occurs In the mention
OF bell when King John addressing
Hubert says:
II the midnight bell
Did with his iron tongue and dragon
mouth.
Sound one unto the drowsy race OF night.
One of the strongest pictures paint
ed by Charles Dickens is that of the
miser and usurer, Ralph NIckleby,
curslng the iron-tongued midnight bell,
after which, in a fit OF mingled frenzy,
hatred and despair he hangs himself.

GUESS At POEMS MEANING
tended by His Famous Work,
"Lady Of Shalott."

Tennyson's poem, Lady of Shalott,"
Is purely imaginative in its theme, its
names, It's motive and its details. There
Is no such island as Shalott, no river
flowing down to Camelot, no such place
as Camelot, and, of course, there was
no such person MS "the fairy Lady of
ShalOtt." The poem Is allegorical
and as the author never furnished a
key to its meaning every person is
permitted to try to find one. it has
been suggested that ut represents the
history of a woman living In conven-
tiOnal world whose inhabitants do not
come into contact with the true sub
stance of things around them, but to
whom these things appear, not as they
are in themselves, but as reflections
in mirror, which, while 1t registers
faithfully enough some few outside as
poets, hides altogether the living soul
by which those aspects are produced
and governed" That Is not very H.
luminative. One critic says: "There
are thousands who are living In what
they dimly feel to be world Of reflec-
tons, not of substances, or appear
ances, nor of realities, but ever and
anon they feel that this Is not all
there is Of life, and they, like the Lady
of ShalOtt, are half sick of shadows.
Still. the illusions gather round them
again until something comes, most
probably in the shape Of supreme
passion, which sweeps the old worlds
Illusions away forever and reveals the
new world Of realities lying all around
them." The cracked mirror represents
this new revelation.

TO CLEAN CURTAINS
Certain Methods Must Be Adhered 20
II Il 10 to BE Successful.

Time is needed to make home cur
tain-cleaning success. Pins are also
ueeded-and many Of them. Clean the
curtains In pure soapsuds and thei,
rinse them gently in clear, lukewarm
water. Dry them. Then starch them
In starch colored to give them their
original tone, and then pin them out
to dry.
If the curtains were originally pura
white, blue the starch. rather deeply.
This will give the curtains a blue
white look that they had when fresh.
II they are cream-colOred use tea in
the starch to get the right tone, and
If they are deep ecru, use coffee to
give the desired color.
Dry the curtains on sheets stretched
out on carpet that is tackled down
If you possess such thing. If not,
stretch the sheets out on heavy rug
and pin them into place. Then pin the
curtains with the innumerable pins to
the sheets.
If you have an unused mattress in a
sunny room, spread sheet over 1t and
pin the curtains to that. Then be sure
to air the mattress thoroughly, SO that
any dampness from the curtains will
dry thoroughly.
The best way to wash curtains Is to
shake them as nearly free from dust
as possible and soak them in a tub half
full Of tepid water Id which half a
pound Of pure soap has been dissolved.
In the morning squeeze them fairly
dry and place them in a tub full of
very hot water to which a tablespoon
full of borax and enough dissolved soap
to make strong suds are added.
When they seem clean, after splash
ing them about in this water, rinse
them thoroughly. until there is no
trace Of suds or dirt. Then squeeze
them gently dry. Let them dry thor
oughly on the grass or hang them over
a line to dry. Then starch them.

LARGEST OF AMERICAN CATS
Jaouar Not Only Holds Championship
In Size. but He 10 Also Hand
soonest Of His Glass.

The jaguar or "el tigre," as 1t is gen.
orally known throughout Spanish
America, is the largest and handsom-
est of American cats. Its size and deep
yellow color, profusely marked with
black spots and rosettes, give II u close
resemblance to the African leopard. It
is, however, a heavier and more power
full animal. In parts of the dense trOp-
ical forest of South America coal
jaguars occur, and while representing
merely color phase, they are sup
posed to be much fiercer than the or
linary animal. Although so large and
powerful, the jaguar has none Of the
truculent ferocity of the African leop-
ard. During the years I spent In its
country, mainly in the open, I made
careful inquiry without hearing Of a
single cnse where one had attacked
human beings.
In one locality on the Pacific coast
Of Guerrero found that the harder
natives had an interesting method Of
hunting the "tigre" during the mating
period. At such times the male has
the habit Of leaving Its lair near the
head Of small canyon in the foot
hills early in the evening and follow
ing down the canyon for some distance,
at intervals uttering a subdued roar.
On moonlight nights at this time the
hunter places an expert native with a
short wooden trumpet near the mouth
Of the canyon to initiate the "tigres"
call as soon as IL is heard and to re-
peat the cry at proper intervals. After
placing the caller. the hunter ascends
the canyon several hundred yards, and,
gun in hand, awaits the approach of
the animal. The natives have many
amusing tales Of the sudden exit Of
untried hunters when the approaching
animal unexpectedly uttered its roar
at close quarters.-E. w. Nelson, in
the National Geographical Magazine.

INSURANCE AMONG THE SWISS
Thrifty Person May Guard Himself
Against Almost Any Form Of Dis
aster to Be Dreaded.

A system of insurance against unem-
cantons, whereby persons contributing
n certain sum per month are guaran-
teed employment or paid a weekly In
demnity for the period during which
they are out of work. Such persons
must, however. he able to show that
their unemployment is not their own
fault. sThis plan Of insurance Is, how
ever, not general, nor is 1t very popu-
lar, as 1t involves many details which
make 1t difficult for the benefciaries
to secure the payment Of the bene-
fits.
Employees of Swiss industrial insti-
tutlons are required to insure Them
selves against sickness or accident,
and this measure asso obviates to a
great extent the necessity for public
charity when wage-earners are de-
prived of their income on account Of
Illness or accident. Under the COM
pulsory insurance act the expense Is
divided between the employer and the
insured. This plan works most satis-
factorily. as the workers feel more
secure in their employment.
There are also other systems by
which employers and employees can
protect themselves against the expense
of medical treatment and supplies in
case Of Illness or accident. The So
ciety for the protection of domestic
servants assumes, for instance, the
responsibility for the care and treat
ment of those enrolled upon Its rec
ords.
