•as Ftih WetKhli t 1»» Pound,
with Hod a^ d Reel.
Edward Llewellyn, k cornet soloist of 1
he Catalina Island band, Is a most en- !
lhuslastlc and picturesque angler.
Recently he made the record Jewflsh
catch, one weighing 425 pounds; the oth
tr morning he though he would Inscribe
:he tuna record also on his diadem, and
taking the Catalina hiked out after tfye
biggest specimens of the tiger-fish to Ue
taken. He had uncorked but a small pc|h
tlon of his stock of patience when his reel
began to whizz.
And then It whizzed. By consummate
skill Llewellyn prevented the fish from
getting away in the first grand rushes,
and then he began on the aggressive. For
an hour and 21 minutes a fierce fight
lasted. It was a formidable-looking crea
ture that was at length brought alongside
the boat, and there was debate, after It
was gaffed, as to whether It would be a
welcome addition to the crew.
Hung up on the rack here, the creature i
began to excite comment. To the casual |
observer It was but a moon-fish, a rather !
unusual catch, but occasionally caught
and brought In by being entangled In the
fishermen’s nets. This, however, was
caught with a hook and rod and reel,!
something unknown to fishermen hith
erto. A glance at the fish also showed a
radical difference between this and the
sword-fish.
Its sword is not so long as that of the ]
genuine sword-fish of this length; the
lower jaw Is unduly elongated; It has on
Its back a collapsible fin, which, when
extended, stands up 15 Inches above the
fish, but folds down Into a grove, until
it Is unnoticeable; the tail Is like the
screw of a propeller, and very similar
in appearance to that of the tuna.
The fish sharps are all guessing. The
Mke of this has not been seen here before,
nor can any enlightenment be had from
any books on the subject to be had here.
The strange ereature Is nine feet long
and weighs 125 pounds. The sword Is
24 Inches long and the tall Is 39 across.
MOVE MILLIONS AS RAGS.
Unbonded Government Clerk Carries
Money' from Washington to New
York la a Sait Case.
CoL Edwards, chief of the division
of Insular affairs, recently told the
story of a bureau clerk’s remarkable
trip a few days ago with $3,000,000 of
government cash. The clerk Is Marion
E. Beall, whose home is in Fort
Wayne, Ind. For fear of robbery the
officials kept the trip secret until after
the clerk had delivered his precious
burden in New York.
Under the direction of the insular
department the mints and the bureau
of printing and engraving have been
making money for use in the Philip
pines. To. Mr. Beall was assigned the
duty of overseeing the shipment of
the money to the island possessions.
The bureau of printing and engraving
turned out $3,000,000 in $1,000 bills.
The insular department wanted to get
the money to New York. Beall went
around to see the express companies
about'' the'•cdst* Of transporting the
treasure. “Eight hundred dollars,’’
said each of the companies.
“That’s too much,’’ said Col. Ed
wards when Beall reported. “What’s
the matter with you putting the
money in a suit case and taking it up
yourself?”
“Why, sure, I can take it if you are
willing to trust me with it,” said
Beall.
The money was put in a suit case
and Beall, although not even under
bond, carried it from this city to New
York, whence it was shipped.
NEARLY WEDS BRIDESMAID.
Minister Had Reached Fateful Part
When Bride, Realising Situ

But for a sudden protest by the bride
the bridegroom at a wedding in St.
Mary's church, New Britain, Conn.,
would have been married to the brides
maid the other day. Peter Wood and
Miss Rosa Strader, the principals, en
tered the church with Stephen Ferry
and Miss Edwina Softleigh, the best
man and bridesmaid. When the party
reached the altar the bridesmaid, in
stead of retiring in favor of the bride,
remained at the bridegroom’s side.
Rev. J. T. Winters began the cere
iony, but Just as he had reached tht
teful part Miss Strader jumped up
asked Father Winters to stop,
n explanation followed, the young
en exchanged places, and the
mony went on. The bridesmaid

lertha tocored •• Filthy and DliiaN*
l>nden by American Health
J Association.
Tha filthy and disease-laden sleep
ng car has been duly scored by the
American Health association. At the
meeting In Washington, says the Star,
the subject was very thoroughly dis
cussed from a sanitary standpoint.
Although the facts regarding the culp
able uncleanliness of berths are ad
mitted by the public, their rehearsal
from time to time helps to emphasize
the necessity for reform.
The railroad companies are always
ready with excuses against bettering
conditions. Their business is to
avoid trouble and save expense. The
casual traveler may growl as much as
he chooses, but is oftener contented
to submit to an infliction rather than
suffer the humiliation of a fruitless
appeal to authority.
No one needs be told that the ordi
nary heavy curtained and ill-ventilated
night car is a veritable propagator of
infectious diseases. What better could
be expected when the nightly used
blankets, as claimed by one speaker,
are cleansed but once in six months?
And, pray, what power exists to call
officials to account? What is the real
guarantee for the sleeper that he is
absolutely safe from the germs left
for him from the previous customer?
The only remedy rests in the ordinary
honesty of the common carrier.
One of the railroad experts rather
plausibly claimed that it was not fair
to require railroads to spend large
sums of money for sanitary purposes
until they knew where they stood. As
if, in truth, there were any doubts con
cerning the efficacy of absolute cleanli
ness, perfect ventilation and thorough
disinfection—all easy enough of ap
plication when there is a will for the
way.

Repetition the Only Secret of Learn*
ing to Spell for Persons with
Average Memories.
Probably it is a mistake to say that
any person with an average memory
cannot learn to spell. As there ft a
lack of analogy in the spelling of
words, learning to spell is chiefly a
matter of memory. Repetition Is the
only secret about it, says the Philadel
phia Record. There are some aids, but
it is the words to which there is no
guide which are the common source
of trouble. Persons who do not spell
well have simply neglected the study
of orthography and are not entitled to
sympathy. Operators of typewriting
machines who have considered them
selves the victims of a defective or
thographical memory have often be
tome good spellers through practice.
In a vast proportion of cases bad
ipelling may be traced to wrong pro
nunciation, which is even more fre
juent than Is wrong spelling. Prob
ably the modern methods of instruction
hav* something to do with the number
of bad spellers among fairly educated
people. The old spelling-bee system
insured repetition. In recent years the
writing of the spelling lesson has in
many schools taken the place of the
oral system. The men and women who
had gone through the district school of
half a century or more ago were al
most invariably good spellers. If, as
the Evanston councilmen maintain,
spelling be a gift, it is apparent that
It is not bestowed on man as liberally

GUN-MAKING IN CHINA.

and Military Gazette visited one of the
Chinese arsenals and thus put down his
.mpressions: “Finally we were taken,
among other places, to the great Chi
nese arsenal some way beyond treaty
limits, where every form of munition of
war, from rifles to 45-ton guns, was be
ing made. We wandered through a
wilderness of factories, covering acres
of ground, and were shown the whole
process of manufacture. And there
were powder factories and other insti
tutions not far away which we had no
time to visit. That was, perhaps, the
most significant experience of all. You
may have seen gun factories before, but
have you seen a place turning out
great guns by the dozen, and machine
guns by the hundred, perfect in design
and construction, run, from coolie to
head mandarin, entirely by Chinese, and
with only a couple of Englishmen en
gaged solely in consultative supervision?
Have you seen a roomful of Chinese
draughtsmen and designers in pigtails
and blue gowns solemnly, stolidly and
assiduously getting out the drawings for
a new gun? It is a sight that furnishes
food for thought. And as you leave
you ask yourself the question: ‘If these
men can make guns, why may they not
work them some day!’ ”
Carious Sitaxc Custom.
Maj. Powell-Cotton, who recently ex
plored a part of central Africa never be
foie visited by white men, writes'
“Among the Kimager the women go
completely naked, but the men are
clothed. I secured some photographs
of a tribesman and his two wives hoe
ing the family plot. One of these shows
a curious fashion of skin decoration in
vogue among the womenfolk. It is a
raised pattern wrought on the body
when they are young. Small incisions,
geometrically arranged, are made in the
skin and into these ashes are inserted.
The wounds heal in permanent raised
lumps.”
