© THE MONKFISH.
This Glutton Has Many Names and an
Appalling Appetite.
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.—

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.
