FISH HAS TWO UGLY WEAPONS
Giant Ray Said to Use Mouth Like a
Shark and Is Provided With
Dangerous Tall.
A so-called devilfish that Is com
mou on American coasts from SO de
grees north lntltudu to about the same
degrees south ot the line, Is the giant
ray. This llsh looks very like a skate,
but grows to an enormous kIko. It lies
on the sea bottom, covering squnro
yards of coral sand, and If attacked
may prove not only nasty, but most
dangerous. It Is said to use Its mouth
like n shark, but Its most unplenxunt
wenpon Is tho toothed spear In Its tall.
Fishermen say it Is able to diivo this
Jagged lanco through n nmii' thigh.
Such a wound Is extremely dangerous
nnd nluio3t Invariably proven fatal. In
tho southern nnrt of the Gulf of Mex
ico speclmons of tho glnnt ray have
been killed up to 18 feet across. Tho
ray has two horns, one on each side
of Its eyes, the latter being green,
hideous nnd cruel beyond expression.
A curious habit of this Hsu Is to break
water like n whale, falling with u
thunderous splash that Is heard for a
long distance.

IlalllgHii the Judge, becauso of his
court-like behavior. Wlen they got
homo from one trip Hev. SIssou wrote
tho following poem a copy of whloh

thi: (joiitr lv Tin: jiui
The Judgo, you ought to see him plan
IIo'b a sport of the fishing clan
While flailing It bogan to r.lln
Ho stay'd while we all plead in vain
For he wus the Court you know.
"Ono moro flahj" lip deigned to re
mark "Then we'll bo ready to embark
What do wo care for gumbo mud,
Or even tho ditch, with a thud;"
For ho was the Court you know.
Wo all groaned and inwardly prayed
For a fish as long as a apnde
Whllo ho threw out his lino once more
Wo scampered out for tho shore,
For ho was tho Court you know."
Soon there camo the coveted bass
Which ho landed out on the grass
Thon with a voice severely stern,
Ho cried, "this Court will now adjourn"
For ho was tho Court you know.""
Tho Judge, you ought to seo him go
The "Flyer" would seem so poking
slow
As through tho mud he wildly shoots
Whllo not a sign or signal toots
For ho was tho' Cour yo3 know5.""
Aeroplanes, Flying nfachines and slch
Woro nought, ns wo thoubht of the
ditch
On ho drovo without fear or care
As If In a raco at tho fair.
For ho was tho Court' you Enow1."
Cornors ho did not seem to know,
Jolllo! You should havo seen him go
Whllo wo woro filled with dire alarm
Hoping that wo would reach tho farm
For ho was tho Court yoti know."
Onward wo flow through mud and rain
Ab If to catch a wanted train
At last beforo our home ho stopped.
And from his car wo gladly flopped,
, For ho was tho Court yod knowT"
But after all you'll never find
A truor mnn In soul nnd mind (
Than 1b tho ono wo love so well
And of whoso pranks wo caro to toll.
For ho was tho Court you" know1,""
If in his court you chnnco to stand,
Only justlco ho'll to vou hand
For bo's a man all through and
thr6ugh
Trying to all, somo good to do.
For ho was tho Court you know.""

Reform Vs. Prevention.
A Los Angeles woman, who has de
voted much time and effort to an In
stitution that aids unfortunate girls,
referring to the difficulties she encoun
tered In gaining sympathy and support
for an enterprise that Is not spec
tnculnr. writes in the Los Angeles
Times :
"Isn't it queer that people always
tnko so much moro Interest Jn reform
ing '.than In preventing? Should the
time ever come when I need help, I
shall go oqt nnd rob a bank, or some
thing like that. Then I shall bo cared
for, nnd good, charitable people will
bring me flowers and things."
There Is much truth In this, tho
Times adds. Ve pet nnd coddle the
sinner, but wo fall to aid thoso who
are tempted.
Making Slate Pencils.
In Europe slute pencils are usually
made by hand, but In this country they
are turned out by mnchlncry. There Is
In Pennsylvania n quarry famous for
the fine quality of Its slate, which
yields many millions of pencils an
nually. The rough mntcrlnl is first
sawed Into suitable pieces and then
each piece Is cut to standard length,
R Inches.
Tho mnchlncry produces the pencils
In the form of cylindrical rods of that
length, which are pointed on emery
wheels by boys, who hnndlo them by
twos and threes with great dexterity
and rapidity. Finally they are put up
In pasteboard boxes of 10Q each.
Fixing the Distribution.
It was the custom In old Virginia
for neighbors on gala occasions to
send In trays of good things to each
other. On one occnslon my brother,
Waveiiy, the youngest of several
children. In the family, was sitting
nround playing when the servant
brought In a tray loaded with cake
and other delicacies. He had hoard
the expression "Children should be
seen, not hoard," so In n droll way ho
said t bis inothe'r. looking at the
children who wore chnttering merrily,
"Ho that talks the morest shall havo
the littlest, and he that talks tho
uur.est shnll have the morest." Ex
