ASHARK INTHE SURF A PEARL BUYER IS TOSSED INTO THE SEA AS FOOD FOR IT. A Traveler Tells a Story of What Ho Saw One Day in the llarltor uf Madras —Tha Dapper Young Buyer and the Rascally rnrttee Merchant. A wild sea was running high in the open harbor of Madras. The sea always runs high there, and in the last two miles must always be made in surf boats. The morning when the steam ship Tigress dropped anchor and ran up her signal for the boats, great angry waves were bowling along before a fresh monsoon, and even the surfboats found it hard to keep dry. Among our passengers from Ceylon for Madras we had a dapper young fel low, who was as good a judge of pearls as I ever saw. He had been to Ceylon buying for an English house, and was now on his way to the Persian gulf to complete his stock. He was to leave us at Madras to go overland to Bombay. He knew how to buy pearls, but he did not know how to take care of them. Be fore he had been on board a day he had told me all about his luck in Ceylon and had shown mo his entire assortment. One of the pearls was simply gorgeous. Had it not been for a faint dot of blue upon one side it would have been wprth a small fortune. He was delighted with my appreciation and enjoyment of the stones, and he showed 1110 his treasures several times during the short voyage. Twice he left me alone with them. It was not, however, through any particu lar confidence in me, for I suspect 110 made quite as free with his treasures among several of the passengers. One was a Parsee, who was forever going between Ceylon and Madras, for what purpose 1 could never discover, though I hud met him several times. Whatever else he was I was sure that tho Parsee was a great rascal, and wus surprised and sorry for tho young pearl man to find him making a most intimate friend of the fellow. Together they stepped down the lad der to enter a snrfboat as we neared Madras. The young man went down first with his case of precious pearls in his hand. The Parsee was stepping in to the boat whenlie paused and spoke to its black captain. "I have forgotten something," he said, turning to the younger man. "I must come by another boat; I will meet you at the hotel." He gave the surfboat a push with his foot and began to climb the ladder. A sailor who was standing by lue muttered: "There's a shark in the surf yonder." But instead of looking away over the water ho looked directly down upon the Parsee and then at the young pearl man. Of course there was a shark in the surf. There are always sharks in that surf, hut to me the sailor's sentence meant something more than that. The Parsee simply walked behind the saloon house, stood there two or three minutes, then left the steamer by an other boat. My curiosity was thoroughly aroused. Glass in hand X watched the two boats, a quarter of a mile apart, still wondering what the sailor meant by "a shark in the surf." Presently one of the great waves lifted the first snrfboat, but instead of taking the usual advantage of it to dip their oars and pull I distinctly noticed the boatmen sitting like statues. The al most naked fellow standing in the stern, with a long oar to guide the craft, sud denly leaned upon the oar, and the boat turned, was caught broadside on the wave and the next instant was capsized. I saw the passenger, with the pearl case still in hand, plunge head first into the water. Like so many eels the black boatmen wriggled about in the water till they righted their boat, then clambered over the side and began to bail it out. Not one of them seemed to give a thought to their passenger. Tho next moment a piercing shriek sounded even as far as our steamer, and to my horror I saw the young fellow's body lifted out of the water not ten feet from the surfboat. It made one whirl in the air, disclosing the head of a shark holding it acrosß the buck, then sank again. As the next boat passed the place I saw the Parsee throw something over board that left a white spot on the wa ter, which remained as long as I watched it, convincing me that it was a buoy of some sort set for some purpose. A few days later we were anchored in the Hoogly river, off Calcutta. I was walking down the principal English thoroughfare when I BUW the Parsee emerge from tho door of a lapi dary. He evidently recognized me, but ho turned quickly in the opisjsite direc tion and walked away. "A Bhark in the surf," 1 muttered, and with only a vague idea half formed in my mind 1 entered the shop and in quired of the dealer if he had an assort ment of pearls on hand. "How fortunate!" he exclaimed. "1 was never so low as this morning. Pearls are in very great demand. But I have just purchased a large lot of the finest pearls I ever saw. I purchased them very low for cash, and I cannot only give yon the first choico of this magnifi cent collection, but a great bargain be sides. They are beauties! Yes!" "Yes," I replied, "they are beauties— especially this one with a dot of blue upon one side. Too bad that it has the flaw." I knew then why the Parsee went down to the surfboat and spoke to the captain, but went ashore by -another boat. I knew why he left the white buoy in the water. I knew why he con tinually journeyed between Ceylon and Madr.ii, and X knew what the sailor meant when he watched him and mut tered, "There's shark in the surf."— Atlunta Constitution.

It is believed by some that the word ' dinner springs from a corruption of the ! word dixheures, indicating the time at which in the old Norman days this meal was taken. The mere idea of hav ing dinner at the barbarous hour of 10 o'clock in the morning would, in all | probability, send a modern chef into u fit, yet it was at this early time that per sons of quality, both in this country and France, partook of the meal. Froissart j mentions waiting upon the Duke of Lan- j caster at 5 in the afternoon, after he had supped, and during the reigns of Francis I and Louis XII of France fashionable ! people dined from 10:30 and supped at the latest at 6in the evening. And again, from a Northumberland household book, bearing date 1512, we learn that the family rose at 0, breakfasted at 7, dined j at 10, supped at 4, and shut the gates at 0 p. m. Speaking generally, though the dinner hour then, as now, Was later in this country than in France, Louis XIV did | not dine till 12, while his contempora ries, Cromwell and Charles 11, took the meal at 1. In 1700 the hour was ad vanced to 2, and in 1751 we find that the Duchess of Somerset's dinner time was 3. In 1760 Cowper speaks of 4 o'clock as the then fashionable time. After the battle of Waterloo 6 p. m. was the time at which the beau monde took their sub stantial meal, while at the present day many of the nobility do not dine until H [ or 9, so we see through 400 years the dinner hour has gradually moved through twelve hours of the day—from j 9 a. m. to 9 p. in. When the dinner hour | was so early often no previous meal wus taken.—Chambers' Journal. A Skeleton Story. Dr. W. S. Howell, brother of the editor of the Vienna Progress, hud a | skeleton in a box. One day ho pulled ' out the ugly, ghastly, grinning skull ! and began to handle it. Finally he de cided that ho wanted that skull opened ; so that ho could study the inside struo-' ture. There being several seams in the ; skull he decided to fill the skull with 1 peas and soak them in water, thinking that they would force the Beams apart. He asked the editor to help him, and the latter poured peas and water into ! the hollow bone and corked up the eye and nose holes to keep them from run ning out. Some time after the editor ' was startled to see that peas had sprouted in the skull and the vines,wero of most wonderful growth. Out of the hole where the backbone is joined to the neck an army of little vines had grown, and by some unknown instinctive power , they had twined in and through all the bones of that body. The young tendrils had wrapped around the stovepipe and table legs and the whole skeleton had been reared up ward in the middle of the room. From the nostrils and eyes vines were stream ing that had clustered around and upon the presses, stands and tables, and from each joint hung a pod in likeness of a small skull, the exact counterpart of the large one. It is rumored that when the editor beheld these things he left the office by the window route, and the skeleton is still in full editorial control. ! —Chicago News. Tlo American A* Helve. All the world admires and wonders at i the American ax helve. The American ax fitted with that ingeniously curved ; and gracefully fashioned handle is a marvelously effective weapon, vastly ' more apt for its purposes than the straight handled headsman's ax with ! which the Italian fells trees, or the broad faced hatchet used for the same purpose in France. The American ax helve is just what might have been ex- j pected of an inventive people laden with I the duty of conquering and civilizing a forest clad continent. The world had been using the ax since prehistoric times. ' but it remained for the American pioneer to fashion the ideal ax handle, at once light, strong and elastic. The ax such as is familiar to all Americans is rare in Europe, and it sells in all the British colonies as the American ax.—New York Sun. French "CuHttetliiead."

This year there were five sets of claimants for the prize, one of whom had been married long enough j to have a golden wedding, for in the old days it was a rare occurrence for any [ couple to claim the reward from the se voro jury, the oath requiring not onlv that they had had no quarrels, hut also that they had never regretted their mar riage and if open to engagement would make the same again. The custom is one of such great antiquity that its date 1 is lost in obscurity.—Exchange. I*oor Economy, | The cowhorn fly, or buffalo horn fly as it is sometimes called, lias been very annoying this season in some northern states and in Canada. It is so called be cause it attaches itself to the roots of the horns at night. Cows so tormented lose their appetite and give little milk. Tho application of lard to the parts af fected is said to be a remedy, but farm ers generally consider it too expensive. There urea great many shortsighted farmers who persist in feeding worth less flies with costly cows in order to uvoid a little outlay.—Hoard's Dairy- A "Double Ended" Tariff. When the protectionist organs declare that the McKinley tariff has not ad vanced prices they wish to be distinctly understood that it has advanced them for all producers or manufacturers who have been voting the Republican ticket in the belief that the policy of the party would enable them to get better prices for their products and wares. It is for this reason that the same organs which tell the farmer that the imposition of a duty on what he buys has really lowered the price and was intended to do so: has raised the price of what he produces and was put on for that purpose. It is a great thing, this tariff, and greatest of all in its double endedness, so to speak. Governor McKinley Will Please Explain. When Governor McKinley comes to New Haven to open the Republican campaign we hope he will explain more fully than ho has yet done how it is that the foreigners pay our taxes. Main thousand dollars' worth of our govern ment bonds are held abroad. A luoid explanation of how those foreign bond holders can be compelled or coaxed to pay the interest on the bonds in their possession would be a valuable contribu tion to the science of political economy. To borrow money from a man and then make him pay the interest and perhaps the principal is excessively clever.—New Haven Evening Register. Startling Figures, but Correct Ones.

"I wonder if you've been up to any of your tricks, Jim?" Jim gave no answer except a toss of the head as lie slowly walked across the kitchen, but Deborah's quick ears caught a little chuckle as he went out the door. "I'll give it to you some day, you young rascal, if you carry away my things!" went on Deborah, shaking her fist at the little fellow. "What's the matter, Deborah?" asked her mistress, coming into the kitchen. "Oh, it's that Jim! He's always up to mischief. It comes natural to that gypsyish sort to be tricky and sneaky, and there's no such thing as gettin' 'em out of it." "If it's natural to them we ought to make some allowance for it," said Mrs. Graham, with a smile, as she helped Deborah to hnnt for the missing pepper pot. "No use a-harborin' such, seems to me," said Deborah. "May, be so," said Mrs. Graham, "but nono of us somehow seems to have the heart to drive him away." "I have," said Deborah very decid edly. "Look-a-there now—a everlastin' tease!" The two watched Jim as with a roguish twinkle in his small black eyes he made his way to where old Carlo was talcing his morning nap under the lilac bush and gave him a sudden poke. The dog raised his head with a growl, but Jim stood at a little distance, with u grave and innocent look at something on the ground. Carlo settled down again, and quick as lightning Jim gavo him another poke. Up jumped Carlo, with a savage look at his tormentor, but Jim stood in the same place, half asleep, and Carlo lay down with a long drawn sigh. Jim kept it up until the poor dog went to find a quieter pluce. "I've seen him do that a dozen times," said Deborah laughing, "and I know he's hidden my pepper pot. Why, it ain't so long since I read a story about one o' that set—must 'a' been first cousin to Jim I reckon that stole a elegant breastpin, and it was laid to a poor young girl that worked in tho family. She was disgraced and turned off, and ever so long after it was found out that that creetur'd been the thief. I've 110 use for such!" And so every member of tho family could havo declared, hut no one would he the one to say that Jim must go. In the course of a long drive over country roads through a heavy storm the farmer had found Jim drenched and half starved. Of course ho brought him home, and after being warmed, fed and made comfortable the wild eyed, dark looking little vagabond hail wisely set tled himself in such good quarters, and had since showed no desire to leave them. "You can come and help me peel the peaches now, Marian!" called Mrs. Gra ham to her daughter. Marian came, looking admiringly at the baskets of rosy cheeked, downy fruit on the great table, all of which was wait ing to be made into peach butter. "Is that your pearl ring?" asked her mother. "Oh—yes. I was clearing my drawer and put it on to see liow pretty it looks and forgot it. I'll take it off." Tho pretty lassie worked for hours over tho peaches, paring, stoning, meas uring out sugar, stirring and tasting. At length she skipped up to her room to dress, but soon came running hack with an anxious face. "My ring, Deborah! I left it on the corner of the table —hack here. Have you seen it?" "The land, Miss Marian! No, I ain't. And I've just this blessed minute scraped up all the peelin's and flung 'em out to the pigs." With tears in her eyes Marina ran out to the hit in which the pigs were kept, and searched eagerly. But the grunters had made quick work of their luscious meal, and no ring was to he found. More slowly she went back, and looked about the kitchen with a forlorn hope that the ring might havo escaped. But Deborah's scraping had been vigor ous, and she went up stairs again with a woebegone look. "She's a dreadful careless little piece," said Deborah, looking after her, "always a-leavin' her tilings 'round. But I ain't a-goin' to say it to her now she's a-f clin' so bad." "Ha, ha—you tliievin' rascal! I've caught you at last, ain't I?" Mrs. Graham and. Marian hurried out at sound of Deborah's excited voice to see Jim struggling in her grasp. He was uttering short, angry cries and do ing his best to free himself. "I was just a-wasllin' my dishes," cried Deborah, "when this limb comes a-peek in' and a-pryin' 'round. I mistrusted ho was up to somethin', an' 1 kep' my eye on him and seen liiui pick up one o' my teaspoons and sneak off with it. I took after him, and just got hold o' him right bere —sec?

"Bring an ax and knock that off, Deb orah," she said. Doborah did so, and the three bent over what they saw. I "I'm blessed if there ain't my pepper [ pot!" exclaimed Deborah, j More than the pepper pot was there. Keys, nails, screws, a button hook, a | gimlet, and as they turned them over j Marian gave a scream of delight and j snatched up her pearl ring. Then she made a quick rush for Jim, and hugged and fondled hinr until he bit her to make her let liiin go, when he flow to the top of tlie spring house, and stood there chattering His discontent at such rough handling. "You dear old crow!" exclaimed Marian. "If you hadn't stolen my ring off the table that day I never should havo seen it again. Oil, Deborah, you havo pulled out half his tail feathers!" "Never mind," said Deborah; "they'll grow again."—Sydney Dayre in Youth's Companion. Costly War Implements. Tens of thousands of pounds of capital have to be sunk ere a single 111 ton gun can he manufactured. A particular reason for its being costly to make is that its production consumes a great amount of time. To build such a gun takes as long as to build a first class cruiser. Yet another reason lies in the fact that there are many and inevitable failures, which entail great waste of labor, if not of ma terial. Tho 111 ton guns, without their mount ings, cannot he produc ,1 or sold to the government for much less than £15,000 apiece, the (17 ton guns for less than about £IO,BOO or the 45 ton guns for less than £0,300, and the expense of firing these guns, apart from tho weur and tear of tho weapons, mountings and ships, may he judged from the amount of pow der and tlie weight of projectile used. In the case of the 111 ton gun the full powder charge is 900 pounds of slow burning cocoa or 850 pounds of West phalian brown prism, and the projectile weighs 1,800 pounds. In the case of the 67 ton gun the full powder charge of slow burning cocoa is 030 pounds, while the projectile is of 1,250 pounds weight. In the case of the 45 ton gun tlie full charge of brown prismatic powder is 205 pounds, and tlie projectile weighs 714 pounds. Tlie esti mated cost of one round from the lurgest gun is about £BO, from tho second about £SO and from tho smallest about £3O; but this is the cost of powder, cartridge and projectile only.—London Tit-Bits. A Singular Ilrntul Operation. Anson Washburn, the 14-year-old son of Austin Washburn, bf tlie Bee line, sat in Dr. J. B. Morrison's office reading a paper and fanning himself unconcern edly. He has passed through one of the most remarkable operations known in dental surgery. When ho was about 5 years of age he had an attack of scarlet fever that caused the retention of four teeth on the right side of the upper jaw. Dr. Morrison made an exploration and found the teeth and drew two of them down. One of them did not require much attention, except careful watch ing. % When exploring for the eye tooth he found it between tlie hard palate and the floor of the nose, pointing toward the left jaw. The tooth was imbedded in a sack of pus, and the most careful treatment was needed in removing tlie pus and to prevent it from aggravating the cut parts and causing blood poison. Tho tooth and its bony attachments were cut loose, carefully cleaned of all foreign substances and placed in their proper position. Tho central incisor was kept out of the boy's month for two and a half hours. The teeth that were changed about are growing nicely, and young Washburn said that ho is suffering no pain, no inflammation has set in and his teeth are in good condition. Ho was thoroughly under the influence of ether duting the operation. The operation is out of tho ordinary.—lndianapolis News. Perfumes.
