Among the most curious of fishes is one kuown on the coast of Maine as monkfish, by Massachusetts fishermen as goosefish, by Rhode Islanders as the bellows fish, in Connecticut as the molligut, in North Carolina as the all- mouth. On the other side of the At- lantic it is cflled wide gut, kettle maw | Its adult length is | and other names. about four feet, its weight about forty pounds, The fish is a glutton, with no finely discriminating palate. It is said to bolt the wooden buoy of a lobster pot with an apparent satisfaction equal to that with which it swallows a mack- erel. Dogfish, sculpens, squids, crabs and lobsters are items in its ordinary diet. Its Massachusetts name is said to have been given it because of its practice of swallowing geese. Seven wild ducks are said to have been taken from the stomach of one of these fish, which had pulled them down one by one from the surface of the water. The fish habitually lurks upon the bottom, though it is occasionally seen near the surface. It is sluggish in its ordinary movements, but very quick and ready with its powerful jaws and well fitted by nature for its mode of life. Its margins have long fringes, which sway in the currents like vege- table sea growth, deceiving the un- wary prey.—Philadelphia North Amer- ican. Sandy's Narrew Escape. “An hoo's the guid wife, Sandy?’ said one farmer to another as they met in the market place and exchanged snuffboxes. “Did ye no near that she's dead an buried?” said Sandy solemnly. “Dear me!” exclaimed his friend sympathetically. “Surely it must have been very sudden?’ “Aye, it was sudden,” returned San- dy. “Ye see, when she turned ill we had na time to send for the doctor, sae I gied her a bit pouther I had lying in my drawer for a year or twa an that I had got frae the doctor mysel’, but hadna ta’en. What the pouther was I dinna verra weel ken, but she died soon after. It's a sair loss to me, I can assure ye, but it's something to be thankfu’ for I didna tak’ the pouther mysel’.”—Dundee Advertiser, The Chairman's Break. Senator Moses E. Clapp of Minne sota made a speech at Erin Corners, in his state, says the Saturday Evening Post. . His audience was very unfriendly. They howled at the gigantic Clapp, laughed at him, threw things at him and made it most uncomfortable. Finally Clapp stopped and looked at the chairman, “Don’t mind them, Mose,” said the chairman. “Go right ahead. They're nothing but loafers and rowdies. None of the decent people would come.” Igneous Rocks. Igneous is derived from the Latin svord ignis, meaning fire, and igneous rocks are those which geologists say svere produced through the action of heat. Igneous rocks are divided into two great groups, volcanic and plu- tonic. The volcanic, as the name im- plies, are those brought to the surface by volcanic action, while the plutonic are those which have solidified below the surface of the earth and have been exposed by the wearing away of the strata above them. An Explanation. “Effie,” said Margie, who was laborl- ously spelling words from a first read- er, “how can I tell which is a ‘d’ and avhich is a ‘D'?" “Why,” replied Effie wisely, “the ‘a’ has its tummy on its back.”—Harper's Weekly. . Late and Early Easters. The earliest date on which Easter can fall is March 22. The moon must then be full on March 21, and that date must be Saturday. Such a com- bination of circumstances is extremely rare. Easter Sunday has fallen as early as March 22 in 1093, in 1761 and in 1817, and it will fall on March 22 again in 1990, 2076 and 2144. The lat- est date on which Easter can fall is April 25. That happened in 1666, in 1734 and in 1886. It will happen again in 1043. SHORTHAND. The Quality That Appears to Be Lack- ing In All Systems. The fatality of all systems of short- hand is that what seems easy to the eye of filial piety may be terribly diffi- cult to the cold gaze of a stranger. Of the innumerable systems of short- hand that were the vogue a century ago how many survive today? asks a London writer. Fame and fortune still await the man or woman who can in- vent a system that will appeal to the reader as effectively as to the original writer. Perhaps if we were to redis- cover the lost shorthand writing of the ancient Romans we might find our- | selves on the road toward a solution of the problem. For the Romans were on affectionate terms with ghorthand. Did not Sue- tonius, speaking of Caligula, express surprise that an emperor of so many promising parts should nevertheless be an ignoramus in shorthand, and did not Titus Vespasianus pride himself on his facility in the’ use of stenography both for business and amusement? So fond was he of the sport that he de- lighted to gather his amanuenses around him in order that they should tilt against each other in the steno- graphic field. It may be that but for the rediscovery of the art in England toward the end of the sixteenth cen- tury the curious Pepys would not have been moved to write his diary. ~ VENEZUELA. Beauty of the Country and the Im- pression It Leaves. The beauty of the country is the first and the most lasting impression. To catch glimpses at every turn in the valleys of cloudy peaks, or hen on the mountain side to see through the limpid air valley after valley between the protecting hills, to breathe this pure air, to know that summer is al- most perpetual—he is only half a man who does not for a moment forget the needs of civilization in the intoxication of primitive nature. The loveliness of Venezuela is something different from that of the Andean ranges farther west and south. It is more tropical, and the mountains do not rise to the height in which the senses are stilled by gran- deur, nor is there found so near the equator that ruggedness or gloom of solemnity which is one feature of the Rockies. It is a beauty of more human type, which can be enjoyed most when we know that man has his abode there. The Andes, the Alps or the Rockies are bold and austere. They need no life. Life is not meant for them. But such contrasts and changes as are con- stantly presented to the eye in these softened landscapes are more exquisite when man is pottering about on the surface trying to imagine that he is of some real importance on the earth.— Reader Magazine. MARVELS OF WORKMANSHIP. The Violins That Were Made by the Famous Old Masters. The old masters used such care in the selection of the woods for their instruments that, having found a piece of wood of proper fiber and vibrational powers, they treasured every fragment, no matter how small, and rather than waste even a particle of such a strip they frequently constructed the backs and bellies of patches so delicately put together that “the seams are only dis- coverable by microscope, so perfect is the cabinetwork.” It was ever the aim of the old masters to “marry” the back of hard sycamore, which produces the quick vibrations, and the belly of soft wood, producing the slower sound waves, in such a manner as to give .the mellow but reedy timbre of the perfect instrument. Anatomically a violin made by an old master is a miracle of construction. It can be tak- en to pieces, patched, put together, re- paired indefinitely and is almost inde- structible. Repairing has been the means of exposing many clever forger- jes. The inside of a violin made by Stradivari, Guarnerius or other old masters is as perfectly finished inside as outside, and the clumsy interior work of a forgery betrays an imita- tion at once.—Circle Magazine.
