SOME FISH OF RECORD SIZE
Finny Monster Claimed to Have Been
Taken OFF New Jersey-Remark-
able Devil Fish.

America claims to have caught the
largest fish on record-an enormous
ray harpooned off New Jersey, weigh
ing four tons, and needing six oxen
and % men to drag it ashore. The
battle with the fish lasted nine hours,
and it dashed up spray to height Of
over 80 feet.
Allowance must be made for some
exaggeration, but there are on record
other cases where gigantic rays, or
devil fish, have been harpooned.
One taken off jamaica was so big
that it took 40 men to drag it along
the beach. Even rays caught in Brit
ish waters are sometimes of great size,
like one that was sold in the fish
market at Cambridge. 1t weighed 224
pounds, and when cooked and served
at ST.. Johns college was sufficient to
make a meal for 40 persons.

Strange Drauahts Boards.

Probably the most extraordinary
draught board in the world was con-
structed at st. Leonard, England, in
1891. 1t was made of solid blocks of
concrete, three feet thick. and its sur
face covered an area of GO square
feet. A draugHt board. which at one
time belonged to Bismarck, is estimat-
ed to have cost more than $4,000.
The squares are made of solid gold
and silver. This draught board was
declared by experts, to be the most
valuable in existence A set of
draughtsmen, II of gold and u of
silver. were presented TO the prince.
In the center of each golden draught
was beautiful ruby, while inlaid in
the center of each silver one was a
peerless diamond. A quaint old draught
board is still TO be seen hanging as
sign outside the" Chequers inn, Os-
motherley. It's interest lies in the
fact that neither the original painter
of the sign. nor the landlord of the
inn. was a draughts player. The

THE PROFESSION OF AGRI.
CULTURE

Agriculture is getting to be a
learned profession. 1t has always
been a business, of course, in
which one could invest his money
and make more or less comfort
able living. Formerly, when a
young man wanted TO go to col
lege and get book learning, he
generally became lawyer, or
doctor, or preacher. With the
growth of industrialism the list
of learned professions became
larger. A boy who had taste
that way could learn electrical
engineering. mining. metallurgy,
etc, and he was reasonably sure
of a Job when he was through
school. and of comfortable
growth in his earning power and
influence as he pursued his
chosen career. And now agricul-
ture is becoming the most inn
portant of all the learned profess
sions. The schools and univer-
sites are turning out skilled tech
meal farmers by the thousands,
and there is useful and profitable
work waiting for every one. of
them. The country is greatly in
need of farm managers, COW TEST
ers, county agents. The trained
man is sure of a job. He can adj
vance according to his industry
and ability. BY and by he can
become a farm owner, perhaps.
Taking the whole world situation
by and large, it is safe to say that
a young man has better prospects
just now in going to agricultural
college than in going to law
school, or medical college. Farm
ing investments have become so
large and so important that the
need for trained men for manag-
erial positions is sure to increase
faster than the men can be
trained.

o.iia suppIanted PIanchette.

Tie pianehette was a thin, heart
shaped piece of wood supported on
two casters at the end of the base, and
on an ordinary pencil at the apex,
popular about 1850 to 1880, before the
ouIja board suppIanted it. The PEN
Gil could readily be made to trace
characters without conscious move
meat IN the part of the operator, IL
the fingertips were placed upon this
device.
Like the ouija board, the planchette
was used by two classes of persons.
1t was used by the believers in spirit
ualism, who asked questions of splr-
itual control, and believed that they
received answers from the intelli-
gences on the spirit plane, and by
people who regarded the mechanism
as game, and amused themselves by
pushing it to write messages for the
benefit of others present.

HOW coBBLER FOOLED DEVIL
Good Story Of the Discontinue Of the
Enemy Of Mankind Told in
Old Chronicle.

The old story about The moated
mound ia the parish of Whitchurch.
England. called the Twppath, is thus
related by Capt. Harry Lewis IN the
"Archeelogia Combrensis:
"0nce upon time the devil quar-
relied with The people of the Rhondda.
and he determined TO destroy them;
SO. he dug up spadefuI of English
earth. and set out 10 dam the River
Taf below Casteil Coch. He walked
till he reached the foot of Rhubina
hill. which is about a mile from the
castle near the old smithy of Heyen
ST. Jervis; and, feeling tired. and the
day being hot, he sat down TO rest
Looking up, he espied cobbler COM
ing down the hin with a sack on his
back. The cobbler had been, as was
then the custom, going round the
countryside collecting shoes 10 be
mended, and the sack was fun of old
shoes that needed soling. Good day.
said the devil how far is tito Castell
coch? The cobbler was no fool. and
recognizing at once with whom he had
to deal, guessed that the devil was
contemplating some mischief. So he
opened his bag. and, displaying the
old shoes with soles full of holes an
swered that he had worn them all out
walking from Castell Coch. The devil
was too tired to pursue what he inn
agined must be very long journey,
and in disgust threw the spadeful of
earth over the hedge; and, as the old
man who told me the story said,
there is the mound to prove the truth
Of the story"

Old and New Books.

There is no sillier affectation than
that of old worldisln. To rave about
Sir Robert Browne and know nothing
of William Goblet is foolish. TO
turn your back upon your own time
is simply to provoke living wags, with
rudimentary but effective humor. TO
chalk opprobrious epithets upon your
person. But, on the other hand, to
depend upon your contemporaries for
literary sustenance. to be reduced to
scan the lists of Forthcoming Works"
with a hungry eye, to complain of a
dearth of new poems, and new novels,
and new sermons, is worse than affec-
tation--it is stupidity.-Augustin
Blrrell.

DISCOVERY OF HOLY CROSS
Story Goes That the Empress Helena
Was Responsible for Its Recov-
cry From the Jews.

Through the zeal of the Empress
Helena, mother of Constantine the
Great. was discovered the cross on
which the Savior was crucified, and
the date is given as May 3. The
story usually told is TO the effect that
tic empress went to Jerusalem and
there compelled the Jews to bring the
Grass from its concealment and give II
to her, together with other crosses in
tEnir possession. It's identity was es-
tehlished by miracle: The body of a
dead Man was placed on each of the
crosses, and when it touched the true
