UNDER A TROPIC.SUN. *CATCHING SHARKS ON THE COAST OF CUBA. 1 maving run Despite neat and wises aalarms—Tianling In Nan Eaters With apive Batt—Fishing with the Remora. A Small but Mighty Eh:du ' [Special Correepondence.1 CIENFUEGos, Cuba, Sept. 7.—We have a little fuel here noW an then, in spite of the heat, in spite of th rainy season and In spite of war's alarms. It ell depends, of ;course, upon what ono calls "fun," some -choosing one thing, son e another. But I inean of the healthy sor in the open air, -lashing, shooting and b ating. The bay of Cienfuegos is largo and landlocked and advesus fine sport at sal ng, while beyond -the reefs aro some of the best fishing ;grounds in the world. don't care much for fishing in general, ot having the pa- tience to sit stewing in a leoat, beneath a -tropic sun, bobbing a line up and down, ,eyen if the fish are biting well and gamily. But within the week I have enjoyed the most novel method of fishing ever invent - eel, and which I should like to -describe for the benefit of your.readers. Among the ft-shin:men who came in from 'the• meter linty of a morning I noticed par- tioularly during my matutinal strolls one ald Cubanwho always brought up sharks snclgreat sea tortoises. He was pointed out to me as the man who fished without any bait, and when I came to tnspect his boat • I found. no trace of bait or hooks. Instead, en a large tub I found half a dozen small fishes about as big as a largo No. 1 mack- erel- When I asked the o. d salt what he elid with those fish, he oi1y grinned and said, If you want to knO , come down tomorrow at 2 in the morning, and I will show you some sport " . , A mutual acquaintartee touched for his character, for you can't be too particular ,down hero nowadays, and at the time ap- pointed I was on hand. Before daylight .. we were on the edge of the reefs, where my -.friend anchored just over a deep hole of. blue water which seemed to be swarming with fish. There were, swift swimming barracudas, beautifully aolored jeW and ;angel fish, immense sharks and lazy sea turtles, hundreds of them, all visible in the elear water, above the white coral. • Reaching down into the tub, old Jose, the fisherman, drew out one Of the fish and coped a line around its tail. Then he • opped it over the side and handed the e to me. It was just as well that the• line titer end'of that line was Made fast to the =wale, for it burned my fingers so, as the little remora. went sizzling through the water, that I could about as comfort- ably have held a live coal. Old Jose grin- neda sardonic grin with his toothless gums -and gave a grim cackle, for that was his standing joke with the 'greenhorns - he .brought out with him. Then he baittel an: .other line and let it swine -away into deep water while I kept my eye on my own.

"Must be a whale," I said to Jose, but that worthy only grinned and came over -hi assist -me. Between *the two of us we finally got the fisk at the other end up in sight, and J found that my finny friend had affixed himself to a shark about eight feet long. HE was too big to try to coax into the boat, and I made up my mind that if he did try it I would get out. He had a mouth ae broad as the biggest watermelon I ever saw and. set with teeth as sharp as needleE around a cavern that looked like the top of a well. But, big as he was, my little fish held him until we got them both near the surface, when Jose whacked hint over the head with a club .and took- him .into the boat withoue any trouble. 1 noticed that as soon as thev reached the s irfaca my live bait it go his hold and. SWEll 1 away. Well, in less than three hot rs washed all - the fish wo could carry bac' in the boat, and then I proposed that i se should set his tireless fishers free, which le finally did, after some grumbling, and I had the satis- faction of seeing them swin bff without any lines attached to their tails and pre: numably go a-fiithing on the r own account This ilsh, which is put to o strange a -use, is called the remora and is supposed to be the same that stopped the vessels of the ancients by attaching itself to their bot- toms like a barnacle. This it does, at any rate, by means of the pewerful sucking disk on the top of its head, and not only te vessels, but to other fish, as we have seem It will not let go is hold, unless exposed to the air, no matter how hard one may pull at its tails and this adhesive quality has been utilized by the fishermen on this coast ever sin ‘es the time Columbus came here.

The Infidel Banker, • A story, which shows even hafidels do not believe their - own sneers about the Bible, and that they know that Christianity makes people better, is Vold in Fireside Reading : "A Virginia bankeriwho was the chair- man of a noted infidel club, was once tray- .elling through Kentucky, having with him bank bills to the amount of $25,000. When he came to a lonely forest, where robberies and murders were said to be frequent, he was soon lost, through taking the wrong rad. -The darkness of the night came ickly over hien, and how to escape from tl threatened danger he knew not. In his alarm he suddenly espied in the distance a, dim light, and, urging. his horse onward, hel at length came to a wretched - looking cabin. Hekneeked ; the door was opened by a woman who said that her hus• baud was out hunting, but would soon re- turn, and she was Sure he would cheerfully give him shelter for the night. The gentle- man pat up his hate and entered the cabin, but with feelings t at : can better • be im- agined than descrilied. Here he was witha large sum of money, and perhaps in the house of the robber whose name was a ter- ror to t e country. • "In a short time the man of the hou e re- turned.

The man urged, but the more he urged the more the infidel was alarmed. 'Heft:at assured that it was his last night on earth, but he determined to sell ' his life as dearly. as he could. His infidel principles • gave him no comforter:, His fear grew into a perfect agony. . What was to he done? ] "At length the backwoodsman -Limn; and reaching to a wooden shelf, took down an old book and !iaid :• .

He listened to the simple pray- er of the good than, and at once dismissed his fears, and lay down and slept as calmly in thet•cabin as he did ander his father's roof. From that night he cea:sed to revile the good old Bible. He became a sincere Christian, and often related the story of his eventful journey to prevent .the folly of infidelity."

A favorite retort from the lover of unre-, etricted liquor to the advocate i of temper- ance,- is that tea and coffee are stimulants, and that those who drink themj are guilty of intemperance as much as liquor drinkers. Did John Smith ever beat his wife after ex- cessive indulgence in tea? Did Bill Jones and Bob Brown ever wreck a restaurant after partaking'ofloo much .coffee? Why not? Because tea and coffee are not the same kind of stimulants that beer and whisky are. "A tree is .known by its fruits," and, thus judged, tea and coffee are trees of a beneficent species,while the different kinds of liquors are trees whose deadly traits too often blast the hand that picks and the lip that touches them. • New Style. of Dressing the Hair. i • Writing on dressing the hair, Isabel A. Mallon, in September Ladies' Home Journ- al, says that "a pretty and absolutely new • coiffure is the one that, while it rather giVes the blouse •eilect, really consists of three deep waves that turn beak, and which are, of course, made by -the iron. At the back the hair is arranged in a double eight twist that shows well at the sides, but does not rise above the top of. the head. Women who have very little hair can tie it (Jose to the head, fasten the switch on by a string drawn through its loop, which is the best way, and then, pinning down their own 'rani close to the head,arrange the switch to form - the double eight; • .Elderly ladies, especially these whose hair has grown 'entirely white, wear it ofteriest in a pompadour roll, which requires a small pad under it, and then in the back have a plaited switch carefully pinned to the hair in a looplike fashion. Many ladies who have reached middle age or passed it, adhere to the coiffure selected as becoming when they were young, and it must be confessed that there is e eertain dignity about this." - • , ld Fashioned Apple Pie. Fill a, deep, yellow pie-dishwith pared apple sliced very thin.; then cover with a ' subst utial crust and bake ; when browned to a tern, slip a knife around the inner edge, kske off the cover and turn bottom up- ward n a plate.; then add a generous sup- ply of sugar, cinnamon and cloves to the apples ; • mash all together and spread evenly on the inserted crust. After grat- ing nutmeg over it the dish is served cold • with cream. .• i 1 . • An old SOotch Lady in Chicago. Mrs. Margaret Stewart, who lives in Oak Park, a pretty suburb of Chicago; has reach- ed the age of 95 years, and yet still remains healthy and strong. She is a waive of Falk- land, Fifeshire, and was a twin, one of thir- teen children born to Neil Wishart and Mary Hoag. Her father was a v.!ell-to-do . blacksmith and -farrier, and the family was lield in high respect: Margaret-, desiring to make herself independent, obtained asitua- tica in the 'castle of a •Scotch nobleman., where she olbtained a thorough training in domestic economyaind otherwise had a good ihii-hringing. In 1822 she married a read urveyor, Thomas gtewart,the young couple . ettliug down at pnce to housekeeping, .and family of seven 1 children ' being born . to em in the year that followed.

Stewart and the family came' over in the following year. On her way to Chic:age she had learned that her husband had died suddenly, but nevertheless she went to that city,' settled and brought up her family. At that time the population of the city was only 28,000. In 1860 two of her sons pur- chased a farm near Woodstock, where they built two houses, and she kept one of them for her eldest son for twenty years. She left the farm somewhat reluotantly sixteenyeara ago, since which time she has been living with her daughter, Mrs.McDonald. A large number of her descendants live neer her in Oak Park.. • The family has prospered, and Mrs. Stewart has made use of part of her means to aid the local Presbyterian church. She is devotedly attaChed to Seotland, and Nips to speak of it. She will have it that no man is so honest or worthy as a good Seetchina.n.--Seottish-Americam • Varieties. In the village of Kuticut, Indiana, there is a man named Archibald Hammer. Mr. Hammer has three sons, whose names a e Trip Hammer, Tack Hammer and Sled e Hammer. i —There - a e thirty palaces belonging the imperial family in various parts of J pan,hut the resent emperor has never o cupied more han three or four of them, an some of the he has never seen. —Several i stances of extreme distance f voice earryin have come - to light. In the great canyon f the Colorado a man's voice • was plainly h ard at the end of the canyon, eighteen mil a distant. Lieut. Foster, on Parry's third arctic expedition, found that ,heeould con erse with a man across the harbor of Port -Bowen, a distance of about one mile -and a quarter. Sir John Franklin said that he hied conversed with ease at a distance of more than a mile. ' Dr. Young records that at Gibraltar the human voice has been heard at a distance of ten miles. —Some odd stories have been told of Li Hung Chang, but by all odds the oddest that has yet been recorded is the following • from the Cork Examiner: Mr. Panmure Gordon, a relative of General Gordon, is a dog fancier, and te n;•auxious to keep dies the family friendship with thelreat China- man, he serit him a present of it pedigreed . bull pup of considerable vane. Inj the course of time came the acknowledgme t of the gift, accompanied by the interestin an- aouncement that.while Li did not eat Ithat port of thing himself, the young Celes late who accompanied him had found it exce lent for breakfast. • Prevalence of Clumsiness. "'I sometime.% wonder," said a lady who travels a. great deal, ," what the early train- ing of some people that I meet must have been, or, to express it more correctly, whether they had any early training at all. I think I never travel in any train or enter any public conveyance, - that somebody, either man, woman or child, doesn't walk or stumble or crowd or lean against somebody else ; and if the awkWard. individual hap- pens to be carryieg a p rcel ormarket-bas- ket, or, indeed, an um cella, his neighbors have oause for congra uletion if they get out of his vicinity with- whole bodies or garments. It seems to me that these people must have been badly trained in their :smith, or else they never, by any possibility, could be so awkward. There are few greater mis- fortunes than the faculty of fallin over everything one comes near,- or of upa tting or displacing whatever objects may stand in the way. A child's education should never be coneidered complete until it is taught to enter and leave a room, to move a chair witbou noise, to put various objects in their paces, net only occasionally, but as a reguiai thing, and they should never pass any article about the house which may be out -of jts proper position without quietly replaci g it. . • NVER HEARD OF . A SINGLE INSTANCE IN wHICH DODD'S NEY PILLS FAILED. TO CURE KIDNEY DISEASE. • MOUNT FOREST (Special) September -21st. —The proprietor Of the Queen's !hotel of this town declares that he has every reason to believe, that any claim. made by the peo- ple who are advertising and selling Dodd's Kidney Pills is true. These people were the first to inform and instruct him as to the cause of his long continued suffering , from extreme nervousness. He says that "unable to obtain any relief from other sources, that it was on •account of reading the particulars of other cures that his con- fidence was gained." Two boxes -of .Dodd's Kidney Pills were all that were required to complete his cut e. • t • • A Record Rose Tree. A remarkable rose tree is growing in the gar- dens of the Chateau leleonote, in Ca,nnes,the summer residence of Lord Brenham, a nephew- of the famouS Chancellor. -The plant is a variety of the tea rose known as 'Marie Von Houthe.' Though onlysix years old, it already measures sixty-seven feet in circumference, and 'ivill,if permated, grow very much larger. Lord Brougham attributes its extraordinary dime sions: principally to the soil, which consi ts of, rich loam of great depth, and .also of the lioeral way in which its appetite for m inure is satisfied. This tree is planted oi the. slepe which descends h.om' the house to the mein road. It is of interest. to recall the fact that th Chateau lilleonor.e 'was the first winter resid nce built at Cannes, ,which, it may indeed e sad was literally 'discovered' by the first Lord Brougham, uncle of the present owner, while in the beautiful gar- den, not far from this gigantic rose bush, is still to e seen a tree :beneath the shadow of which t e great Chancelliir used to sit to- ward ti e eyening of hip busy life. -The chateau tself remains much as it was wen he lived in it, but the gardens have been greatly xtended and irriproved, novv con. taining a fine collection of palms, cocos, shrubs a d all sorts elf flowers. The gar- dens ar , however, specially famous for their te, roses,of which a. hundred and fifty varieties are grown, and are, beyond all question the' finest in Europe. • STRANiGER -THAN FICTION.

Pink Pllle Cure3 him when all elselead From the Loiticlon AdvertisIer.. t here are two things in this world which Mr.. John Gibbons, a resident of, Queen'a Avenue East, will henceforth place implicit confidence in. Oue is the judgment of his wife and the other the curative qualities of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. In his case the two went hand in hand,-Mis. Gibbons thought of the remedy, the pills did the rest, and to -clay Mr; Gibbons is a well man, where last fall he was virtually a cripple. An Advertiser reporter called at t .e house the other evening, .and waimet at he door by Mr. °ribbons, to whom he told ti eobject of his visit, and was cordially in itled in. The reporter had no sooner got con fortably seated, .when Mr. Gibbons. went int an ad- joining roam. The sound of clinking bot- tles floated through the half open door and when Mr.' Gibbons reappeared he had in his arms a whele basket of bottlese-all he has to show for many and many a hard earned dollar spent in useless drugs As Mr. Gib- bons was busy showing the bottles and de- scanting upon the. impotency of the medi- cines they had contained, the reporter had abundant epportunityi of marking the per- sonal appearance of the man. His speech betrays his English birth and his face still bears the marks of suffering, but his frame is erect, his step light and elastic, andwhenhe tells you that he cart work, run, or jump with any man, you co, not help but believe him. He is 29. years of age'and was born in Bow Road, Stra forcl, England. He came to Canada in .1882 and located at Gale, where he is well and favorably known. He worked for the Hon. Mr. Young, member of parliament, for a long birne, and seven years ago he married Miss Alice Mann, also of Galt. .After Mr. Gibbon's removed to Lon- don he settled down near the car shops and did very well, always having plenty of work and always having the strength to do it. He oared nothing about a wetting until one day a year ago he took an acute attack of sci- atic rheumatism following wet feet. " I lay down on this floor," said Mr. Gibbons,in telling his story, " night and day suffering terrible agony. I could not, get up a, step, and my wife had to help me up from the floor. I felt the pain in my back first. It then apparently left my back and got into my hips. Doctors came here to see me. They gave me prescriptions, but none of them seemed to do me any good. The neighbors could beer me all over Queen's Avenue when I would get an attack of the pains. Last fall I was taken out of this place in a hack and taken to the hospital. I remained there about three weeks and the doctors did what they could for me, but could not give me any relief. At the end of three weeks I came home again suffering as much as ever. )41 wife got hold Of a pamphlet which -told ,of a number ofre- markable cures by the' use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and we detlermined to try them. I took about three boxes and felt myself getting a •little easier. I took thirteen boxes altogether, and it is over two months since I felt the least suggestion •of pain." " Do you feel that you are entirely cured ?" asked the reporter. Yes, sir, I can go out and do a da 'a work just as well as ever I could. I feel perfectly strong and have a good appetite." 1 "Wo,t don't want another attack of sick eas like that," said Mr. Gibbons, as he 1 ghted the reporter to the door. Mrs. Gibbons vas not at home on the oc- easion of the re orter's firat visit. Subse- quently he calle(i on her and received an en- tire confirmation of Mr. Gibbons' story. "He Was home all last summer," said Mrs. Gibbons, "and last August the pains were so severe as to bring him down on his knees, and to save himself he could not get up. • I had to lift him off the floor many a time'. He seemed powerless. The bottles he show- ed you had almost alt of them been re- peatedly filled so that the number of bot- tles is no criterion of he amount of .medi- eine taken. Before be took the pills," con- cluded Mrs. Gibbons, thought my hus- band would n 'ver be 8.1)10 .to stand upright again. But now," she added in parting, "he is as well as ever he was." Dr. Williams' Pink Pips create new blood; build up the nerves, an1 thus drive—disease from the system. Jn !hundreds of cases they have cured, aft4r all other 'medicines had failed, thus establishing the claim that they are a marvel among the triumphs of modern medical science. The genuine Pink pills are sold only in boxes, bearing the full trade mark, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People." Protect Yourse f from im- position by refusing any pill that does not bear the registered trade mark around the box. • - For Women InebrialteS. Lady Henry Somerset is making a new departure in temperance work in the village she is building for women inebriates.• This is to be near the town of Duxhurat, and here she has laid out a pretty hamlet, with pleasant grounds and cos' cottages, where the inmates can be treated, not as criminals, but as patients.

" No, Charlie," gravely replied the other boy, " that will not settle it—neither with Willie nor -with me. I cannotdisappoint him. A bargain is a bargain.

"Fred Fenton, I Will not say that you are a chump, but I'll predict that you'll never make a successful business man. 'You are too punctilious." .

A boy who re- spects his mother's wishes very rarely goes wrong." Two months later, John Brent advertised for a clerk in his factory, and there were at least a dozen applicants.

Three of the boys gee e their flames and reeidences. 11` What is your name ?" he asked, tte he glanced at the fourth boy. "Fred Fenton, sir," was the reply. John Brent remembered the -name and the boy. He looked atlhim keenly, a pleased smile creasing his face. "Yon can stay," be said. "I've been suited sooner than I expected to be," he added, • looking at the other boys and dis- missing them with a wave of his hand. "Why surprise. sary in my "1 kno do," John smile.

My sister and I, from the hills,. Watch'd the last glimmer cf day; We were sooth'd by,the murmur of rills— By songs that they sung on their way. The night on the world was demendivg, The day had fled far, far along— The Sounds that through valleys were wending Were touched by the Angel of bong. - Though dampld by the dew -fall we listeA To sounds 1 rein the valley bele v; We saw the dense mists with white bannere, We forgot we should apt linger so. The sheep, in their fold, !were in safety, The warm moon came rip in the sky; Because on the hills we had lolteed, We mark'd not the mornents go by. The wolf pack now howl'd In the svoodiand, That stretch'd far away in our rear; We saw that the night was descending, And knew then, that danger was near. - Our hearts at that sound ceas'd thcir beating, My sister ori'd, " Is it not wrong To loiter, to look, in the twilight. And listen to waters and song 7" • We etarted, and homeward we hasten'd ; When a leaf or a bramble was stired We thought that the wolves -were upon us When 'Was bet the flit of a bird. Our -father had come forth to meet us, ." My chIldren, why linger so long? Yew mother is worri'd aoout you; To wait for the night'a very wrong." "Abroad I bare hasten'd te lihd you ; The wolves to the woods pow have come This danger should hasti you home." :There's death on the hills, the zwilight ; We told of the beatify in st nset, How inlets in tbe v-Iley id grow ; The chatter and chuckle of waters, And songs that come up from below. He said: " What of sky, of muaie, Or mists in the vallsy, o ril s, If wolves had devour'd my daughter And son, in the duak, on the hills?" ; Said mother: " You greatlY alarni'd me ; Now what, for this wrong do you say ?" " We lov'd so the beauty of twilight, And its rest at the close of the day." The brooklets told talcs to each othei— Sometitncs they spoke Reidy aed low, And then, much louder they babbled, Where: fast down the hillside they flow. • Said father to us : On the morrow, We three shall go up,to the hills,: And listen in twilight together ; To songs of the birde and the rills." " We shall rest in the dusk of th:e men, Till night shuts the world from our view, Then down from our place on thatiills, ni back to your mother with you." The beautiesidiseoveed in even, - Tho peace that contents then the heart, Are man's as first given from heaven— They're born of the Spirit of Art, They're a ghimpse of tie senses as given • Before evil had shut from our view The beauties that bloped once in Eden, Which twilight awakens anew.

It'is a well known fact that pine and other soft woods have of late been largely superseded in building operations by vari- ous kinds of hardwoods, more particularly maple and oak. in view of this ohmage, and of the improbabiliey that there will ever be a return of former conditions, the wisdom of replenishing our supply of hardwoods is clearly apparent. There are in Ontario alone thousands of acres of uncultivated land Which might profitably be devoted to the growth of hardwoods for which there is likely to be the most demand in the future. Walnut for example is in the greatest de- mand at the .peesent time owing to its ex- treme searcity, and there is no doubt that this *mid will always bring a satisfactory price. 13uyer in the Glasgow market are at the presen moment deploring the fact that it is imp4ssible to obtain shipments of Quebecwalnu such as they were accustom- ed trii receive en former years, owing be the fact that the aupply has become exhausted. gTilts Joly to t evidences the wisdom of the advice the farniers of Quebec by the Hon.Mr. frunne time ago to turn their attention e cultivation of walnut. . in Canada have been so accustomed to' b ing surreunded on every side with an abun erica of wood that few of us realize the rate at which it is disappearing and the nearness pf the time when our forests will, to al large extent, have disappeared.
