'aola.MiahiCo ,K, f W. BELL, ATTOBJfXTATLAW, j A negro made a bet of a pound of tobacco | that be would jump into the water just as' j ho was. The bet was taken; and, without removing any of his clothing, the man' ! jumped from the rail plump upon the mon-1 | ster's back. The fish was large enough to I hawe swallowed two men, but his fright i overcame any longing for human flesh. Tho narrator says: « "I have seldom seen any thing so scared as that shark was; he plunged off, half his body out of the water at times, leaving a' wake like a paddlc%oat behind him which could be traced for three or four hun-i-<■ _ yards where he dived, and never rai.oi', himself alongside our ship again." This instance would, perhaps.be rr' ' with' tho objection that sharks show a prelor-1 er.ee for white men to food upon. This' common notion has been adopted from ob-i serving that tho colored Bsuth Baa island-1 crs spend much of their time in the watcr,i wholly indifferent to the sharks which s win* around them. If the shark Is really partial! to white viotims, he pi obably selects them from sight, not from taste. J When the shark gots a taste of human food, he no doubt experiences unusual delight, and from ttpt time on Is a ferocious' man-hunter. J The case is muett the same with the. shark as with the tiger. Not one of a I thousand of either of these creatures stands' I any chance of ever tasting human flesh,'' | and before having done so they both stand' i in mortal fear of the face of man. I The author of "Oa Bine WaMr," a mm Wbo had sailed much on tropins! seas and bad many opportunities for studying the aature, and habits of flab, treat* UM oommon bolisf that the shark to a man-eater at a' superstition. Man does no* Ui< his dwelling In the water, and it to only rarely that,' by acdiVnt or design, he exposes himself to the attacks of the abarlc. It ie not' likely, therefore, that he was intended to be the natural and preferred food of the' fish. The writer referred to above aays that be had never conversed with any one' who had teen • living man attacked by a1 shark. He gtvee an amasing account of a' meeting between a black sailor and a shark, which makes It appear that tills fish is a great coward In the presence of man. His ship, ah English one, was lying in Bombay harbor. An enormous white shark lay sluggishly on the surface of the water only a few feet from the ship's side. The sailors were making such remarks as "He's (Tot his eye on us for supper," and when this opinion was doubted, they challenged the incredulous to put a foot in the  within the shark's reach. MMtfUvlaclln. I the •MAmca habit* ft | A very cool and not a nonsensical on® either of regarding the tender passion, provided It be carried out. I have often saaa this theory proven satisfactorily by juai such young men as the one I've quoted. This is the highest type of  ill type who wouldn't marry without lov« | and equality. Hut the typical forlunai hunter careth not whether tho girl be . stupid, illiterate and homely—if alio bath | money it matteroth not; he Is so anxious to : msrry a fortune that he lakes the first ho | can get with it. And tho fact that thor.e ana so many moro women thau mon on tho uiar| riageablo market to choose from makes • | man's marriage for money an easier and surer venture I A jnmag man In Atlanta, talking oa 1Mb ■object, said some very sensible thioga against marrying poor girls, s*y» »itnlmr in the Atlanta Constitution.

She was the society reporter on a, paper I worked on out West I must confess that the proof-reader waa one of tha worst of his class—dire bad isn't half strong! enough. There wasn't a day but somebody'*; story wasn't made as silly as an end-man's joko by the proof-reader's blunders, and' i there was always somebody, from tho city1 j editor to tho night-policeman, who was looking for 14a scalp.

Recently m little girl in this Tillage found * katydid in her bedroom, write* • Lake Wood (N. J.) correspondent of tho New York Sun. Sbe endeavored to cultivate lta acquaintance, but it escaped. She had, howtrer, become sufficiently Interested in tho "grasshopper bird" to lead her to determine to oapture another. Her efforts were so successful that she succeeded in catching two of the family, a mala and female. These she has now had some two weeks, and they hare been very Interesting companions not only for herself, but f»r tho entire household as well. When first caught the katydids were kept In a jardiniere of nearly their ow® color, and over them was drawn a piece of mosquito netting to prevent their departure. In the jardiniere were placed some green twigs, upon which they sit, silent through the day, but musical as soon as the evening comes. At nightfall the roofof their house is removed and thoy come out in single file, tho male invariably preceding the female. When thoy were first caged they wero strangers, and did not talk at all kindly to each other, but after two days they becamo well acquainted, and are now as loving as a newly-married couple. When coming out of the jardiniere tho male walks in a stately way, beating time with his taborets, to which the lady keeps step. From their domicile they walk across the table, upon which it rests, to a bit of white paper. On this are placed two slices of banana and a few sugared whortleberries. When they get near tho fruit the female closes the distance between herself and her better half, but never ventures to take the lead. The fruit reached, both begin eating voraciously, the male still keeping up his clatter, but at longer intervals. Generally they make a meal of the banana, but occasionally they eat of tho berries, when only the outer skin of this fruit Is eaten, leaving the pulp untouched. If disturbed, as !i) frequently is, now that hispugnaoity Is k:.. vn, the male katydid scolds vehemently, in. 1 if the teasing la persisted in shows fight i • chasing the finger as it is drawn in diffeiv .it directions or zigzag across the table. Permitted to reach the finger he will endeavor to bite it, but the effort is little more than a smart pinch which fails to penetrate the skin. A bit oi apple was offered to the pets but they declined it, walked away a short distance and paused close together, as if in oonsuitation. The other fruit being offered, by placing it near them and then removing it to the sheot of paper, they followed quick ly, and made their aupper as usual. When they have eaten the female usually loaves the paper first, her appetite being apparently less vigorous than that of her mate, and marches toward tho base of the German student lamp. Thither she is soon foltowed by the male, who follows her to the ring in tho top of the standard of the lamp. There their antics are very amusing, and not unlike those of expert trapeze performsrs, the male giving orders for tho ohangea if positions almost constantly. Naturalists who have accredited the female katydid with incapacity to "sing" are in error. When not pleased at something which hqr jompanion does bis mistress can and does make very decided, though, It is true, not rery emphatic objection s. Uer note is something like that of her mate, very much reduced in emphasis, and in fact rather o weakly whispered imitation of it. Beingof[ended, as she generally is after the trapeze performance has been contiuued a few minites, shu utters her protest and marches lown tho standard, evidently in a huff, as ler step is much more lively than that witli which she made the ascent. Her shape and movements easily encourage the supposition ihat she has her back up. One evening, iu what was supposed to be -he middle of the pertormance, the female mddenly left the ring, ran quickly down /he standard, and away to the window casng, up which she went toward the ceiling it a very lively pace. The male did not folow as quickly as usuul, but continued his vcrobatiu amuaennjut for some ti me. Presently he stopped and seemed to look about lim, working his long "feelers" in everj lirection. It was very evident that he had nissed his mate. Without tarrying Iongei le hurried down the standard. At the base le hardly paused, but was silent, as ho had >een from tho beginning of the descent Suddenly ho started iu pursuit of his ruse, and, with u great clatter, "flinging saw" as ho went, he followed along the .rack that she had taken, thus confirming khe belief pf naturalist* th»t the scent ol insects is very acute. When he found hei he ceased working his taborets, and asthcj sat upon the curtain poles rondo what temed to bo demonstrations of much af ition.
