Shark Fishing Arabian Industry.

Shark fishing is quite an industry among the Arab fishermen of Alden. The best grounds are between Alden and Shukra, an Arabian port about eleven miles east of Alden, writes Con sul Southard from Alden, Arabia. There are also good shark fishing grounds at Makalla, another Arabian port some distance beyond Shukra. Shark fisher men also have good luck at most Tlace> along the British Somali(and coast The usual fishing vessel is the typical Arab sailing dhow. Both nets and hooks are used in fishing. The nets are very strongly woven, the best ones coming from the Persian Gulf, and are from 100 to 150 feet in length and about 25 feet wide. Sharks from to z feet in length are usually caught in the nets, while hooks are used for the capture of larger sizes. Fishing with hooks is often cone from small boats and requires considerable courage, as a large fish will sometimes overturn the boat and throw the occupants into the water, where they have more than an even chance of being attacked hy other sharks.

Chicago Grain.

Chicago, Sept. 22.-Peace news ano fine weather had nearlsh effect to day on the corn market. Declines however, were not of radical char acter. some authorities leaning to the view that one of the ultimate con sequences of peace would be to re lease vessel tonnage and to lead tc an increase in exports. The more gen eral opinion, though, was that hlgf prices of food material went hand in hand with war and that any definite progress toward cessation of nos tilities would mean sharp breaks in values.

New York Cotton.

New York, Sept. 22.-There was a good deal of realizing al the open ing of the cotton market this morn ing. First prices were steady at an advance of 14 points to decline of 6 points, but only the near months were higher and the market eased off after the call. October declined from 23.6Oc to 23.35c and Janpary from 23.3Gc to 23OSc with the general list selling about 10 to g. point net low CT. Offerings were gradually absorb ed, however, with the market show ing pretty steady undertone at ral- lies of 10 to 12 points toward the mid de of the morning.
 As soon as the early offerings had been absorbed the market turned firmer. As prices steadied the buy ing became more active and excited than it was yesterday and appeared to come up from all directions. Prices shot up 5 to 10 points between sales and before the excitement subsideo active months sold 102 to 13o points above last nights closing figures with October touching 24S0c and January 24.45c. A break of about 30 points followed with later fluctuations ex- tremely nervous and irregular. The close was irregular at net advance of S6 to 105 points.

s'' ss Lookjno Forward.

To refuse to be satisfied with ones accomplishments, however we'll work has been done, or however much 1t is praised, is essential for real progress. When noted astronomer modestly ex- plained his triumph by saying, Ut is because from the time was boy, no matter what had to do, tried to do 1t little better than it had been done before," he suggested worthy purpose for everyone. For such an ideal is always looking forward; the famous man considered not so much what others had done as what he, with the benefit of others experience, could do. And when he had done well, he thought not of his past successes but of his future possibilities.

Father Love.

The love between fathers and sons has never been given the conspicuous place that is given to boys and their mothers. Is that because it is more elusive than mother love?-for it is hardly less profound or beautiful. Sel- dom do hints of this beauty come to the surface in writing. But here is a single sentence from q letter written by Oliver Wendell Holmes, on hir eightleth birthday, at the homecoming of his boy-"his honor, Judge Holmes of the supreme court of Massachu, setts, just arrived from Europe:" q 'ook up to him as my magistrate. and he knows me as lis father, but my arms are around hls neck and his mus tache is sweeping my cheek-I feel young again at fourscore. .">-('ollier's Weekly.

Music the Mood Maker.

Music Is so restful that it is used to still rioting and cure lunacy. It is so stirring that battle is not attempted without it, and armies become "wrought to an edge of steel' under the strange call. It is so refining that all schools teach it. It is so uplifting that every church and every religious service employs it. The history of epochal battles, of great revivals and of mighty movements might almost be written as the history of music. Music Is the great mood maker.-Henry M Edmonds in the Birmingham Age-Her' aid.

Black Paper.

It is not always easy to get hold of . good sample of black paper for mak- Ing masks-a paper, that is, which is absolutely opaque and free from pin holes. The black paper that is used on roll film cartridges is particularly suit. able for the purpose. If the photogra- pher is plate and not film user, 1t is still likely that he will know some one who does use f1lms-or that his dealer develops them and either should be willing io give him hand- full of what otherwise would be regard. ed as rubbish. When obtained 1t should be cut to size and put away flat, under pressure until 1t is wanted for use.

High ou a charge of high way robbery yesterday and was bound over to the superior court. His bond was fixed at s2500, which he was un- able to furnish. Emerson and Kilby, who was bound over at the conclusion of his preliminary hearing Tuesday afternoon on a similar charge, were tanen to the county jail at Tombstone yesterday by Deputy Sheriffs Red Gan non and Bert Policy.
 Still further light was thrown on the past record of Emerson when City Marshal Jimmie Allison discover ed yesterday that he is wanted in Spokane, Wash, for assaulting an of ficer, in addition to the assault charge filed against him in Indiana Allison says he is confident Emerson is the man who threw pepper or snuff into the eyes of a Spokane officer and es- capped after having been caught comit- ting a robbery.

FOOD CONDITION |S GROWING
 SERIOUS THROUGHOUT GERMANY

STOCKHOLM, Jan 20. tCorres- pondence of the Associated Press)- Food conditions in Germany have changed greatly for the worse in the last five months. The correspondent of the Associated Press who has been away from Germany since the first week in August has just returned from a stay of three weeks in Berlin. He found that many staples Of food had altogether disappeared from the markets, others had grown so dear that they were beyond the reach Of any but the wel-to-do, the daily al lowance of potatoes had been reduced to ten ounces, and that either short age of flour or a disordered distribu- tion of it among the bakers had re suited in long queues of buyers stand ing for hours in front of the bakeries.
 Potatoes Scarce
 Maximum prices of foodstuffs con trolled by the government are still very low for potatoes and bread, and comparatively low for meats. Pota- toes cost only 72 cents, the standard bushel of 60 pounds, and bread little less than 315 cents pound. But the potato allowance is insufficient for persons who have little but bread and potatoes to eat, and has to be eked out with turnips.
 One Egg a Month
 It had been hoped to allow one egg a person each two weeks in Greater Berlin, but the last one-egg allowance was made some five weeks ago and another is not promised until Febru- ary When the correspondent left Berlin in August, il was still possible to buy cheese. Since the end of Aug ust there has been no cheese on the market It is said that considerable quantities are being imported from Holland but it apparently goes to the front except small quantities to the restaurants and hotels.
 Another serious reduction of avail able foodstuffs has been the eXpropri- atiOn for control of all canned eata- bles. Four or i've weeks ago the deal CTS were permitted to sell a fraction al part of their stock, but only two cans on each bread card Permission to sell a further part is expected to be granted again soon but the dealers are to be compelled to open each can before selling it, so as to force the buyers to consume it at once and not hoard it.
 Meat Prohibitive
 The weekly allowance of meat of all kinds in the Greater Berlin municipal ;tios runs from 5A to Saf ounces. The cheapest varieties cost about 60 cents a pound, the dearest 72 cents.
 Grease Denied
 One of the most serious depriva tions continues to be the lack of fats and oils. The weekly allowance of butter and margarine together is a little less than three ounces a person. Oil is so expensive that it is out of tlre reach of the great majority. The Associated Press correspondent paid s3.12 for about two thirds of a pint of hazel nut oil to be used for frying. Goose fat costs S4.S0 a can of r 3-5 ounces. and is the only fat, except vegetable oils, that can be bought without card.
 All. Always Hungry
 This insufficiency of fats in the daily ration shows itself in an all most continuous feeling of hunger
