Some Men. “The Kanakas ‘ of the Hawaiian Is- lands have about as much tear of the 'huge sharks that infest the Hawaiian waters as we have of one-month-old tot terrier pups,“ said a naval omca' who recently returned from the Asiatic station by way of the islands. “One morning a couple of months ago, when our ship was lying in Honolulu harbor. a big banana barge, propelled by three muscular, tine looking, nearly nude Kanakas, pulled alongside of us to peddle the fruit among the men for- ward. Just as they got the barge close to the ship the three Kanakas began to jabber excitedly in their queer. musical language and to feel of the edges of QUICK WORK WITH A SHARK Three Kaleb. Went Down and Got theâ€" knives suspended by lanyards around their necks. “The eyes or those Kanakas were keener than ours, and they had seen a big shark asleep directly beneath the lighter, the water being so clear down that way that objects can be seen through it to a great depth. It didn’t take those three giant muscled Kane- kas more than ten seconds to shuffle out of their few clothes. Then they removed the strings from their long knives, grasped the knives in their right hands, stepped gently over the side of the lighter, hung to the gun- wales of the lighter with their left hands for a moment or so, and then, altogether, they gave that queer diving wriggle to their legs in which they are so expert and disappeared from the surface. We couldn’t see them going down on account of the commotion and consequent bubbles they made in the water. V “Within about ten seconds after they disappeared the bubbles that came to the surface began to take on the hue of blood. “ ‘That about settles one Kanaka, if not the Whole three of them,’ said we on the gangway. The next thing we saw was a gigantic shark thrashing the water crazily on the port side of the lighter and incarnadining the sea Within a radius of fifty feet with its blood. Then the three Kanakas came up, all in a bunch. like a trio of jacks- in-the-box, with contented smiles on their faces. The shark thrashed around for five or ten minutes, and at the end of that time he was as dead as any salted mackerel in a barrel, the entire length of him. The three Kanakas had tackled him altogether as he slept. had driven their knives into his vulnerable parts, and before he had a chance to pull himself together he was as good as dead. It was as workmanlike a job of going after big sea game as ever I saw.” Society and Companionship. The privilege of having some one with whom we may exchange a few rational words every day, as Emerson phrases it, is the choicest gift in life. We are rich in society and yet poor in companionship. 1n the overflow of chatter we are starved for conversa- tion. Social life is so largely an affair of representation, it inclines so largely to the spectacular and to what its chroniclers designate as “social func- tions,” that the element of conversa- tional intercourse is almost eliminated. Yet, primarily, is not that the supreme object of all friendly meeting? When we reduce to first principles this com- plex thing called living, do We not go to our friend solely to talk with him ‘2 Do we not invite him solely that we may exchange ideas and compare views on subjects of mutual interest? Still, as things go, people meet all through a season in the midst of groups and throngsâ€"at dinners, receptions. en- tertainments of all kinds-without ex- changing one word in the way of true intercourseâ€"Exchange. Swift Was a Dance at School. Not only philosophers and divines. but some of the most trenchant satir- ists and brilliant humorists were dull enough as boys. It has been said of Swift in his best days that “he dis- played either the blasting lightning of satire or the lambent and meteorlike caricatures of trollcsome humor." And yet this vigorous disputant was consid- ered a fit subject for a fool’s cap at school. Afterward at the Dublin uni- versity “he was by scholars esteemed a blockhead,” who was denied his de gree on his first application and ob- tained it with great difficulty on the secondâ€"London Standard.
