isn’t s “cure-all,’’ but it does cure
all diseases arising from a torpid
or deranged liver, or from impure
blood. For all Scrofulous, Skin and
Scalp Diseases, it’s a positive rem-

Tht Msitms >*u lamgrr Afraid.
That a u.an should take a ride on a
live shark's hack, apparently with all
the delight of a wild cowboy breaking-in
an nnrnly mustang, would be dHBcnlt
to believe unless circumstances wen-
presented to verify it. Such an occur
react turn fealty taken place, however
and at so abort • distance from Han
Francisco that any Monbting Thomas
can easily satisfy himself by making a
personal Investigation
For the past few yean the fishermen
in the northern part of Monterey ba;
near Santa Cruz, have been greati
annoyed by basking sharks These
sharks, while in search of fond, often
ran into the neta of fishermen, and
in thrashing abnnt and trying
escape from the meahet which enfold
them, tear the neta and injure them ao
that the fishermen at tiuiea suffer the
of hundred* nf dollars Sometimes
a shark struggles abont so umch in the
water as to wrap the net* around it in
snch a manner that escape Is Impossible,
anil tlie hnge fish die* from the exhaus
tion produced by ita wild efforts to get
free 'i'o extricate the dead fish from
the net* it is sometime* necessary to tow
it aghore, and to recover part of the lose
sustained in the destruction of the neta
the fishermen tryout the liver of the
shark and obtain a'quantity of cheap
bnt profitable nil
AN OCULAR IlCMONSTtMTION.
A hnge husking ahark about thirty or
forty feet long became entangled in tbe
neta of tom* fishermen off Hoqnel hotel
abont ftrnr mflea from Santo Crux. The
shark, still alive and enfolded in the
lets, was towed by the fishermen in
hoata to the wharf at Capitola Ita ur
rival created great axciteueut among
the visitors at that retort The fact that
•harks, any sharks, were near tbe beach
drove hundreds of bathers from the wa
ter. ami people hegau to make op tboir
minds to leave tbe place. Mo amount of
aaaorance on the part of tbe proprietors
of (be dotal or tbe fishermen that bask
ing shark* were not man eaters, and that
many had been caught with no accident
happening, amid entirely quiet the fears
of the visitor*, and bathing waa almost
given np
Home ocular demonstration of tko fact
that a basking ahark waa harmleaa there
fore become neueeaary. Swimming
Teacher Swanson, of tin Capitola baths,
then determined to give an exhibition
with the shark which should convince
tbe most timid. A performance fol
lowed tbe like of which no mao ever
participated in before, Hwanson pat on
a bathing salt and swam to the wharf
when tbe partially exhausted monster
lay, etill partly wrapped In the torn and
tangled fishing neta Slowly approach
ing the gasping yet enraged monster, a
whale in size if not in spectre. Hwanson
swam dose to ita tide, ana then clamb
ered slowly on top, a moderately easy
task to accomplish, as tbe shark lay
almost entirely under water, (fitting
astride \be hnge fish like a baby on an
elephant, tbe bold swimmer shouted in
triumphant derision at the several him-
dred people on tbe wharf, who bail
gathered to witness the strange per
formance.
QOT USED TO IT
Bis song of tuooeaawaa quickly cut
short, for as soon as tbe laxy shark real
ised it had gathered something more on
its back It commenced to thrash about
and threw SvYanaon off. Women in tbe
crowd shrieked In tear and men held
their breath in excitement. It was Hard
ly a minute, however, before Hwanson
appeared uninjured and laughing out
side of the line of foam caused by the
shark's struggles. Tbe crowd on the
wharf breathed tpere freely when they
saw the mnu emerge front the teethlnc
Haler*afd reqJUWthatTaebjri wlbeen
as they expected him tq be.
The undaunted sfftnuuet agate went to
the tide of the shark, and once more
mounted his marine steed. Tbe shark
again showed Its fear and anger by thak
Ing him off. bnt not so violently as be
fora. With great persistence Hwanson
again climbed on to the monster
What seemed before to tbe many spec
tators a meet fbollmrdy act, and but tbe
courtship of Certain death, now became
a strangely comical sight. Hwanson
mounted tbe fish, and tbe shark betuni
ing accustomed to Its queer burden
merely rollad tbe nun off each time he
got on it* back, simply turning lastly in
tbe water and shaking hinueU. This
was repeated several times, and the
large crowd of people who came expect-
ing to see the man killed and eaten de
parted laughing at the ludicrous ending
of tbe performance. Hwanson became
tha bsroof tbe camp Bathing wa* re
sumed and even more freely indulged in
as a cqoseqnenre of the exhibition, and
no one can now be found hi Camp Capi
tola who will admit that they rear a
ebarfc. or a basking shark at least. -Han
