HAULING iU SHAD.
A Period of Excitement Among the Fish
ermen.
When the half-circle outlined by the
corks is less than one hundred feet in
diameter the interest becomes feverish,
and the float is a scene of intense but
subdued excitement, says Lippincott's
Magazine. Two lines of men, with
straining muscles, haul steadily on the
hand-lines, suggesting the athletic con
test that is called the rope-pull, and
even the engine coughs and sputters,
as though collecting its energies for
the critical moment now approach
ing. The silence is unbroken, except
by the voice of the superintendent giv
ing his orders, and an occasional ex
clamation, impossible to restrain, from
some of the negroes. The water with
in the net is violently agitated by the
thousands of fins and tails beating it
into foam. A great sturgeon is thrash
ing about him furiously, and the haul
ing is suspended until a man can go out
in a boat and spear him. The tug and
strain begin again; and now the mo
ment has arrived that will test the
strength of knot and the quality of fiber
in the seine. In the old method of
fishing from the shore there was a
gradual slope from the middle of the
river to the point where the catch was
landed, but in float-fishing it is neces
sary to raise the whole catch along the
surface of that inclined plane which
slopes to the bottom of the water. In
the progress of the catch up this slope
the strain on the meshes of the net is
tremendous, for the middle of the seine
is now practically converted into a
great bag full of struggling shad and
herring. The flapping prey is in sight,
and every muscle is at utmost tension.
Foot by foot the seine comes in, and
at the moment it reaches the top of the
plane the lead-line is held taut, a dozen
hands grasp the cork line and draw it
inward, and the fish are landed in an
avalanche on the platform.

In a western village a certain
"Squire" Thomui wa elected justice

many mile distant from the county

BOONE THE HUNTER.
la Alwaj-s Carries Ills Rifle and Killed
Mnch Big; Game.
The next few years were passed by
Boone amid unending Indian conflicts.
He was a leader among the settlers,
both in peace and in war. At one time
he represented them in the house of
burgesses of Virginia; at another time
he was a member of the first little Ken
tucky parliament itself; and he became
colonel of the frontier, militia. He
tilled the land, and he chopped the
trees himself; he helped build the cab
ins and stockades with his own hands,
wielding the long-handled light-headed
frontier ax as skillfully as other fron
tiersmen did.
His main business, writes Theodore
Roosevelt in St. Nicholas, was that of
surveyor, for his knowledge of the
country, and his ability to travel
through it in spite of the danger from
Indians, created much demand for his
services among people who wished to
lay off tracts of wild land for their own
future use. But whatever he did, and
wherever he went, he had to be sleep
lessly on the watch for his Indian foes.
When he and his fellows tilled the
stump-dotted fields of corn, one or
more of the party were always on
guard, with rifle at the ready, for fear
of lurking savages. When he went to
the house ot burgesses he carried his
long rifle, and traversed roads not a
mile of which was free from the danger
of Iudian attacks.
The settlements in the early years
depended exclusively upon game for
their meat, and Boone was the mighti
est of all hunters, so that upon him de
volved the task of keeping his people
supplied. He killed many buffaloes, and
pickled the buffalo beef for use in win
ter. He killed great numbers of black
bears and made bacon of them, precise
ly as if they had been hogs. The com
mon game were deer and elk. At that
time no Kentucky hunter would waste
a shot on anything so small as a prairie
chicken or wild duck; but they some
time killed geese and swans when they
came south in the winter and lit on the
rivers.
CHINESE WILD MEN.
The Horrible Method of Preduetnf Bo
man trreaks.
Thore are many curious trades in the
world, but the most strange must sure
ly be the "artificial manufacture of
wild men." Yet a well-known English
doctor in China has Just certified from
his own personal experience that this
art is regulaly practiced in the flowery
kingdom.
First, says the Baltimore American,
a youth- ia kidnaped, then bit by bit
he !r flayed alive, and tho ski a of a
dog or bear grafted piece by piece upon
him. His vocal chords are next de
stroyed by the action of charcoal to
make him dumb; and the double pur
pose of causing "etiolation" of the skin
and utter degradation of the mental
faculties is effected by keeping him im
mured in a perfectly dark hole for
number of years. In fact, by treating
him like a brute for a sufficiently long
time he is made into one.
At last lie is exhihiUxl to the entirely
credulous Chinese a a wild man of the
woods, and hi possessor reap a rich
harvest.
The priest, it seems, are adepts at
the art. When a kidnaper, however, is
caught by the people he is torn to
pieces, ami when the authorities get
him they torture him ami promptly lie
head him. Such is life under the rule
of the Son of Heaven.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
CAGING WILD BEASTS.
How the Animals Are Handled at Jana-
rach's In London.
A writer who paid a visit to Jam
rach's wild beast establishment in Lon
don has this to say:
Now, there are at the moment I am
writing two beautiful Bengal tiger
cubs in one of the cages. The cubs
are old enough to be dangerous, so if I
tell you the way I saw them put in the
cage they now inhabit you will know
a little of how wild animals are trans
ferred from one place of confinement
to another.
The boxes that tigers and lions come
in are not very big just big enough to
allow the inmates to lie comfortably.
This, besides saving freight, prevents
the animal from using his full strength,
and perhaps, in case of fright or frenzy,
from bursting the box.
Well, the box with the tiger cubs
was placed in front of and partly in the
open cage. A sliding door in the box
was then lifted, and the cubs darted
forward at the meat that was lying in
the far corner of the cage to tempt
them. Meanwhile the box was quickly
withdrawn and the barred gate of the
cage as quickly shut.
It is easy, however, to transfer an
animal from a confined box to a large
cage. He is going then from captivity
to comparative liberty. It is not so
easy indeed, It is extremely difficult
to get him to go through the reverse
process, to walk from a large cage into
a box. If there be time, he can always
be made to do it quietly enough.
Give him no food in the large cage,
but put it in the box. He may even hold
out for days; hunger, however, will
prove in the end stronger than his
fears, and he will, with a growl, make
a dash for the joints, when the trap
will be closed against him.
It isn't always possible to wait for
hunger to make him submit. Perhaps
the animal , is wanted to-morrow, and
the dealer has got the order only to
day, and must catch the train with him
at four o'clock in the afternoon. What
is to be done now?
Here man's superior intelligence
shows itself. It is fear that prevents the
animal from entering the box, and this
fear must be overcome by a greater fear.
This is an easy matter to the animal
dealer with his knowledge of animals.
He simply sets light to a little bun
dle of dry straw in tho cage; this is
enough tho animal's fear of fire
makes him fly at any outlet of escape.
Little Folks.
You see a slim, straight body, stretched
out to its extreme length, flying over
hillocks, darting between brush-,
clumps, and four steel-spring legs
reaching wildly for more ground; and
finally, at the time for disappearing, a
cotton-white flag of truce is waved
back of you beseechingly.
In summer these creatures grow fat
on soft young twigs, buds of many
kinds, grass, leaves and berries, but in
winter their bill of fare narrows down
to the bark of smooth-barked bushes or
of small saplings, twigs, or the berriea
of the wild rose. W. T. Hornaday, in
St. Nicholas.
AS
Much
HARD AS THE
Are
DIAMOND.
of Chemlea
Two Froducta
Experiment.
The diamond has always been re
garded as possessing one quality which
placed it beyond rivalry, namely, that
of hardness. There are several gems
which compete with it in beauty, and
at least one, the ruby, when of rare
size and quality, outranks it in costli
ness. But none in the whole list equals
it in hardness.
"Diamond cut diamond" has become
a popular saying. The hardest steel
cannot equal the diamond in that re
spect. Tho diamond, says a recent and
authoritative text book of chemistry,
"is the hardest form of matter known."
But science progresses, and if nature
has set aside for her king of gems the
distinction of unparalleled hardness,
the art of man has not been equally
considerate. There are at least two
products of chemical experiment which
have proved, according to the great
French chemist, Henry Moissan, to be
as hard as diamonds.
These are produced from the rare
metal titanium. Monsieur Moissan has
succeeded in preparing titanium in the
electric furnace. In the pure form It ia
harder than steel or quartz, and when
combined with silicon or ooron, so as to
form a sillcide or boride of titanium, it
matches the diamond itself in hardness.
Titanium resembles tin in its chem
ical properties, and it is the character
istic element in the beautiful red and
brown cryst als of Tttter,These, in the
shape of needles, are sometime found
penetrating large white quartz crys
tals, forming gems that the French
call "love's arrows."

The Chicago New tell a story of a
young woman who entered a railway
train with a ptiodle clasped tenderly In
her arms.
"Madam," said the conductor, a he
punched her ticket. "I am very aorry,
but you can't have your dog In this car.
If against the rule."
"I ahall hold him In my lap all th
way," she replied, "and he will not dis

"That make no difference," said the
conductor. "I couldn't allow my own
dog here. Ootr must ride in the bag'

you"
"Don't you touch my dog, air!" said
tbe young woman, exeiledly. "I will
trust him to no one!" And, with Indig

The brown color of the summer coat Is
due to the shedding of the course hair

An order was issued to the Russian
army last year which makes dueling
under certain circumstances compul
sory, instead of branding it as a crime.
The result is that often men who are
friends are obliged to fight each other.
The Hazvedchlck gives a graphic ac
count of a duel of this kind which took
place recently between two Russian
officers. They stood, by agreement,
forty paces apart, facing each other,
with the right to approach nearer after
firing. The seconds stepped aside, and
one of them slowly counted one, two,
three; a couple of shots rang out, but
no one wa touched. The second
begged that the affair might now be
considered at an end, but one of the
contestant insisted that there should
tie a further exchange of shots. Tha
distance wa again measured, the word
given once more. Two shot were lost
in one, a cloud of smoke enveloped
each of the llrcrs. As It cleared one
of them advanced a couple of pace
and fell face upward. The fullcn man
