SPORT ONLY FOR STRENUOUS
Happening DeviIfish Differs Some
what From Pastime So Much Be-
loved by Ordinary Fishermen.

The extraordinary shape, huge size,
and vast power of the big devilfish, or
manta, give him an evil reputation,
which is heightened by his black color
ing. A queer popularity of this col
oring Is that the black pigment comes
off on anything touching 1t. Kneeling
on one Of the devilfish when II was
drawn up on the sand 1 arose with my
knee completely blackened. The skin
is not only very tough, but is also very
rough, being covered, like that of an
old shark, with dermal denticle3 which
scarify the skin II a naked arm or leg
is drawn across II. The big mouth Is
practically toothless, entirely so as re-
CARDS the upper jaw. while the lower
Jaw has a small dental plate which
differs In the two sexes. In spite Of
Its size the manta Is in no way dam
gerous to man unless attacked; but
when harpooned its furious energy,
tenaelty of life and enormous strength
render 1t formidable; for 1t can easily
smash or overturn a boat which is
clumsily handled, and If the ropes foul
an accident is apt to Occur.-From
"Harpooning Devilfish," by Theodore
Roosevelt, in Scribner's Magazine.

kaffirs In France.

Somewhere in France there is a

from the mines Of South Africa. To

Saving Cars Aurochs.

Kartsoff, former master of the hunt
for Emperor Nicholas, who now adj
ministers the formerly imperial do
mains at CATCHING, the residence OF
the Dowager Empress Marie, has taken
measures to prevent the destruction Of
seven surviving aurochs, the only Eu-
ropean bison now known with certain
ty to exist In Russia. Until lately a
large herd was maintained in Nicholas
vast forest at Bielovlesh, White Rus
STA, ten from which were sent to
Gatchina before the war. When the
Germans occupied Bieloviesh they
killed and canned hundreds of aurochs.
1t is not known if any survive at Bic
loviesh, but before the killing two
were presented to the Stockholm Skan-
sen park. After the revolution, the
Gatchina populace organized an au-
rochs' hunt, considering the beasts
imperial" and therefore fair game.
They killed three. NJ. Kartsoff's meas
ures aim at preserving the remainder.

GOLF LINKS AS A LAW COURT
Some Important Cases Have Been Set
tied Far From the Recognized
Halls Of Justice.

The late Sir Thomas Bucknill, when
vacation judge, once granted an in
junction on the golf links while actual
ly playing round, relates Answers.
On another occasion he granted an
INDUCTION while out shooting. On the
case coming into court counsel said:
"Your lordship may recall the case"
"Indeed do" replied the Judge, "be-
cause / nearly killed a pheasant, bar
rister and solicitor with one shot"
Quite lately one Judge tried a motor
accident case on the very spot on
which II had occurred, and few years
ago a case concerning ancient lights"
was decided under a tree In a heavy
storm.
Not long since a chancery Judge
heard an application In the waiting
rooms Of railway station.
A woman charged with stealing was
tried by a magistrate in the streets of
Hoole, and 1t will be remembered that
the late lord chief justice emulated
Sir Thomas Bucknill by deciding a
question in the Crippen case on the
golf links.
And, doubtless, other judges would
welcome the opportunity to do their
work far from the stuffy courts.

ADVANTAGES Of Motors In cltIes.

According to the estimates Of trade
Journal fifteen thousand horses, valued
at $3.100,000, died in New York city
last year, and the loss of services, vet
Urinary fees and other incidentals per-
tanning to those that fell Ill or were
injured, amounted to as mcuh more.
A motor truck can be repaired or re-
built. 1t possesses some value when
out Of order and 1t eats nothing when
laid up for repairs; but a dead horse
costs more to remove than II is worth.
A motor truck can be operated twen-
ty-four hours day and occupies less
space when not running than does a
team Of horses and a wagon. This
Item Of space is important In large
city, though II is not considered In the
country.

A reader who was interested In the
'Indian counting" that the Companion
told about on this page some months
ago, has found In the London Chroni-
Gle something about a similar sort of
counting that was long in use in a
retired part Of England. The Chron-
icle says:
The elder generation Of farmers In
one of our northern dales used a
strange set of numerals, especially
when counting sheep. They made a
gap In the wall just wide enough to
admit one sheep at time, and as the
sheep went through they counted
them, making a notch in a stick at
every fifteen.
Phonetically the numerals sound
like "Yanp, tame, tether, neither, pip,
sax, sane, caterer, wheeler, dick,
yann-er-dick, tane-er-dick, tether-er-
dick, mether-er-dick, boomfit."
"Boomfit" was fifteen; when they
reached 1t they made notch in the
stick and began the strange chant all
over again.-Youth's Companion.

two-thirds to the capital invested and
one-thIrd TO labor. No member Of the
crew receives wages or guarantee Of
any sort. but TO each is allotted GER
tain share, termed the "lay," Of the

ONE CAN Be TOO HUMBLE
Always Well to Remember the World
Is Apt to Take a Man at His
Own Value.

Humility Is called a virtue. II is so
unless carried too far. A man is
usually taken at his own value. II he
makes too little of himself, he is like
ly TO be thought of little worth. The
unduly humble man will lack the
strength Of character needed for sue
cess. He will have little inflence In so
ciety and will not be fitted to hold re-
sponsible positions. While too great
opinion Of ones self stands In the way
Of progress, too great humility Is
worse. Concelt receives many knocks
in life and may be taken out of a
man; too much humility seldom re-
ceives tse needed encouragement. Con-
ceit in a child is soon corrected, when
he comes TO mingling with other chill
dren In schools. Too great humility
gives his schOolmates n chance to put
upon him and treat him as an inferior
"a chance which will seldom be neg
lected. A child may become crippled
In spirit for life In this way. Even
teachers sometimes fail to see what Is
the trouble with the child and to give
him the encouragement he needs. Be
ware of breaking down a childs self
confidence. Irreparable injury may
thus be done him. Train him to feel
that he is of value and is able to do
what there is for him to do. Think
well of yourself IL you would have
others think well Of you.-Milwaukee
