SPORT ONLY FOR STRENUOUS
Harpooning 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 it. Kneeling
on one Of the devilfish when 1t was
drawn up on, the sand 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 denticles which
scarify the skin if q naked arm or leg
is drawn across it. The big mouth Is
practically toothless, entirely so as re-
CARDS the upper jaw, while the lower
law has small dental plate which
differs in the two sexes. In spite OF
its size the manta Is in no way dan
gerous to man unless attacked; but
when harpooned its furious energy,
tenacity of life and enormous strength
render it formidable; for 1t can easily
smash or overturn q boat which is
clumsily handled, and if the ropes foul
an accident is apt to occur.-From
"Harpooning Deviltish," by Theodore
Roosevelt, in Scribner's Magazine. =

Savinu Cars Aurochs.

Kartsoff, former master of the hunt
for Emperor Nicholas, who now adj
ministers the formerly imperial do
mains at Gatchina, 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 Bieloviesh, White Rus
sia, 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.

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

Humility is called virtue. 1t Is so
unless carried too far. A man is
usually taken at his own value. If 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-
sponslble positions. While too great
opinion of ones self stands in the way
of progress, too great humility Is
worse. Conceit receives many knocks
In life and may be taken out Of q
man; too much humility seldom re-
ceives tse needed encouragement. Con-
ceit in q child is soon corrected, when
he comes to mingling with other chill
dren in schools. Too great humility
gives his schoolmates chance to put
upon him and treat him as an inferior
"a chance which will seldom be neg
Iected. 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 child's 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
we'll of yourself If you would have
others think we'll Of you.-Milwaukee

Raising Prices in Japan.

A bag of rice, which only a few
years ago cost S1.25, now sells at $3.50,
an increase of 100 per cent. But this
staple is only typical Of nearly all
other articles of household use. No
legitimate reason exists for this In
crease. Rice is raised in Japan. Wages
are slightly higher, no doubt, but not
sufficiently so to add 100 per cent
TO the cost of an article Of necessity.
Such rise in price of necessities is
nm avoidable hardship, observes East
and West. The government can check
it, if wisely directed. The rice mar
ket, like wheat in America, should
be the last to suffer from violent ma
,nipulation. 1t is the food of the
people and government should fix a
limit for It's price.

SIashes Russ Alphabet.

Russian Minister Of Education Man
uiloff is ruthlessly cleansing the
Cyrillic alphabet of superfuities. By
decree he has abolished the specific
Russian letter "yat," confusion of
which with sc" is one Of the woes of
schooling, abolished also the use in
Russian of the Greek "theta," former
ly used indiscriminately with "phi,"
and finally abolished the "hard sign"
placed after consonants.
The reforms excite mixed feelings.
Children and utilitarians rejoice, but
the novelist, Lecnid Andreyeff, says
that "such changes rob our classics of
their traditional form ana atmosphere.

SNAKES NESTS CLEANED OUT
PennsyIvanians Probably Set Record
for "Bae" of Rattlers Constitut-
ing One Days Work.

John L. Klingaman, who never be-
fore knew any fear, so it is said, was
badly scared while picking buckle
berries on Broad mountain, near Glen
:Onoko, when he stepped on huge rat
tlesnake which struck at his ankle,
slightly lacerating it, though not poi
,soning him, q Mauch Chunk (Pa.)
correspondent of the New York Sun
writes.
The big snake coiled to strike Sec
ond time, when Klingaman heard rat
ties all around him. Selling club,
lhe killed thea one on which he had
stepped, and then went after the
Iothers, which had drawn up in battle
array. After fierce fight he killed
them all without receiving scratch,
and on counting them he found that
he had killed nine big rattlers, the
smallest of them measured three feet
i'm length. He took the largest, 43
inches long, with 12 rattles and but
ton, home with him. 1t was the big
gest snake of the kind seen in this To-
lcality in many years.
While Klingaman was busy slaugh-
tering one nest of rattlesnakeS, one of
his companions, some distance away
from him, had an encounter with an
other nest Of eight rattlers, killing
every one Of them.
Rattlesnakes are more plentiful in
this section than in any previous sea-
son. Members of Company F, Thir-
teenth regiment, National Guard, en-.
gagged in this vicinity, have Killed
many Of them this season. In one in
stance one of the troopers was bit
ten, but recovered.
