The following jioetic puzzle appeared
several years ago in the ludiauapolis
Herald, and at the time had u great run.
The trick is to put in the necessary t hymes
10 that the first, rhyming word has a mean
ing in keeping with the context, and sec
ondly, after the inis.Mng word of tho first
line is found the mK-Niug word ot the sec
ond line must be etnetiy the biiuic, with
the exception of hu-ing only one kttvi' pre
fixed to it; and tho missing word of the
Jbird line must be exactly tho same as the
second, with Just out kltcr more prefixed
to it, and all these must bo English words,
in unison with Uio whole poem. To give
cleur idea of what is meant, wo will here
insert the, missing rhymes of the lirst
stauxa:

How Qarfiilil's Homo Looks Now.
It whs a blustery day when your cor
respondent arrived at" Mentor, after a
sleigh ride of six miles from Palnesville
over a level road, bordered by farm
houses thick enough nlniost to form w
village. No one was at home but Mr.
Kudolph, father of Mrs. (Jnrlield, and
two prandsons, bright little fellows of f
and 7. Mrs. (Jarlield live in Cleve
land, but the Mentor homestead re.
mains about as it was, inside and out,
nnd is occupied by her father and
mother's family. In the ball stands
"grandfather's clock." the only ancient
piece of furniture 1 saw about the
bouse. While our party .sat around the
hall baseburner. Mr. Kudolph, the
father of the President's wife, slipped
off to tho shed, split sjune wood nnd
kindling, and made a lire on tho andi
rons in tho reception room. Was the
like ever known, but in a republic?
With what contempt would a liritisher
view such a proceeding on tho part of
one of tho royal household! When the
tiro was kindled ho sat and chatted of
various matters in a quiet, intelligent
and modest way, not at all alluding to
Ids connection with tho late most dis
tinguished citizen of tho republic, nor
in tho slightest degree showing a con
scious sense of the elevation of Ids fam
ily, or a desire to make an exhibit of
anvthiiK' about the premises. Here was
a fair type of republican simplicity.
Looking at ns from tho wall was a
striking portrait of General Garfield
painted by a New York artist. To me
it seemed an excellent likeness, yet
there were points about it that did nol
satisfy the friends. They said it was
painted, however, in a niurvelously
short time, the arlist beginning at once
with the brush without previously
sketching or measuring. Just over the
upright piano hung a small painting of
"Mother's liible," with her spectacles
upon it. In the hall is a portrait of
Washington, . and at the head of the
stairs ono of Lincoln. Near Lincoln's
is a steel portrait of lSisinarck, with the
gruff old (i'Tinan's autograph attached:
also the picture of the .signing of the
proclamation of emancipation, pre
sented by Carpenter. Next is a sketch
of the Electoral Commission being ad
dressed by Evarts. It gives very good
portraits of all the leading politiciaus of
that time, including the wives of many
who sat in the audience. Hooks arc in
almost every room, on low, opmi shelves
of the modern style. There was a good
variety, yet few volumes outside of the
eminenf novcli-ds could be called light
reading. I noticed a beautiful copy of
Horace that had evidently been a favor
ite, and one of Shakespeare with a woru
out binding. 1 was taken into the Gen
eral's little study, and shown the desk
that had been his in Congress, by the
sido of which he had won bis fame, and i
at which, wliMi transferred to bis home, I
he wrote his .speeches and important
documents. After lengthy mental labor
bo loved to call his family into liN study,
nnd recreate himself with anecdotes and
cheerful con vernation.
It was easy l determine the style of
man who bad been the owner id these
premises by the clear evidences of lib
erality, culuire, artistic ta:te, domestic
affection, and patriotic and religious
sentiment. What a model for the pres-
i idencv of a republic! - ('in. Uazttte.

Sound Doctrine,
One of the professors of Princeton
college in his address to the, students
called attention to tho fact that there
was too nni-h athletics in the colleges
anil not enough brain work. He said
one is impressed with the fact that in
strolling it bout the colleges of the coun
try nothing can be heard about educa
tional matters and the subject of books
seldom enters the minds of the students,
but athletic sports occupy their whole
time ami attention. This professor has
struck a key note, and called attention
to an evil that should be stopped. A
moderate doso cf athletic sports mixed
in with a thorough college education
will not injure tho young men who are
graduating from the colleges of the
country, but when the students get tho
idea, as they seem to have, that mus
cles like a prize-lighter and a hand like
a base-ball is all that is essential to a
college education, then it is time for a
reform. There is no question but that
one-half of tho young men in college
think vastly more of cultivating their
muscles than they do of cultivating
their brains, and it is timo tho colleges
of the country were transformed from a
gymnasium into a school for cultivating
tint intellect. Millions of dollars have
U-en siient in erecting colleges, and
thousands of dollars are yearly spent in
j sending young men to these schools of
! learning and keeping them there, to
have them graduate, or leave in a few
I years with nothing to show for their
! time spent in college except a knowl
I edge of bow to row a boat or play a
I game of ball. It is seldom one hears
I of the progress of the Si'voral classes in
i the colleges except it be in the line of
Isiat-racing or winning a game of base
ball, or hazing a fellow member, and un
let. there Ls a reform inaugurated, and
the colleges pay more attention to books
and less to athletic sports, tbe public
will soon think that tho sending of our
young men to college is a u-eleps piece
of extravagance. As it now is there
aro more young men from the bottom
of the ladder of mercantile life, and
from the farm, tilling tho counting
rooms, nnd th college graduate is
forced to the farm or a lumber-yard to
earn a living: The Princeton professor
is sound nnd he should be supported in
his theories. iVrt'j Sun.
Sharks.
I Sharks, as a rule, have round bodies.
Pointing with his stick to a largo illus
tration of a shark on tho screen, the
Professor desired his audience to note
that the mouth Mas away down uudor
neath the head, instead of at tho ante
rior of the head, as in most fishes. Tho
. most marked characteristic of sharks is
their voracity. They will eat anything
tli.'it. comes in their ivnv iml il,..; 1 1
I... !.i..,i .... J",
: teeth, so that as soon as one set are
torn out or rendered worthless, another i
set takes their place. '
j The lecturer held up to view the jaws
of a good-sized shark, and explained '
that the teeth were set in a touo-h but !
very durable cartilage. The teeth of
most sharks will cotuo out very easily.
The size to which sharks grow can lie
judged by their teeth. In the jaws ex
hibited by Professor Diekmorethe teeth
wero about nH large as a man's thumb
nail, but tho Professor showed a largo
tooth which he said must have belonged
to a shark .'JO or oO feet long. The tooth
was about fix iuches long, and was
found in a phosphate bed in South
Carolina. The teeth of some sharks,
particularly the man-eaters, aro sharo
and pointed like spikes, while the teeth
of another class of sharks arc set into
the j aws flat like paving-stones.
In a spare hour on board ship a sailor
will take as much satisfaction in sharp
ening a shark hook as a barber does in
strapping a razor. After a shark is
captured and hauled aboard the vessel
the sailors cut it up into as many small
pieces as possible before throwing it
overboard. Sharks are as tenacious of
life as cats, and it is necessary to cut
them all to pieces in order to kill them.
On one occasion some sailors caught a
good-sued shark, and, after getting it
on deck, dispatched it, as they thought.
They cut ut one entire side of" its
mouth and threw the mangled carcass
back into the water. A little while j
afterward they caught the samu shark, i
apparently ns full of life and niiscllicf as .
ever.
The shape and peculiarities of the '
thrashing shark were shown and de- i
scribed. This fish lias a tough and ugiv
looking tail longer than the body, with
which it thrashes and disables its ene-',
mies. It is a formidable and rclentle.-s
adversary of the whale, and liutils thei
leviathan of the deep in company with I
the sword-fish. "These fish travel in i
packs like wolves," said tho Professor, j
When a whale is attacked the sword-'
iish go dow n under it, and by pricking
and cutting it in the belly they force
the monster to rise to the "surface of the 1
water. Then the thrashing sharks raise
their tails and lash the whale across
the back. The oword-lish and the
sharks keep up their combined assaults
until their mammoth, but as against
them, powerless adversary is deaiC
The only pari of the whale that is
eaten by the thrashing sharks is the
toiigue. It is not known that the sword
fish cat auy part of a whale. They ap
pear to join with the thrashing sharks
in assaulting w hales only out of pure
viciotisucss. "With all thiur voracity,"
tho lecturer said, "the sharks aro en
titled to the credit of caring for ono an
other. Young sharks aro watched and
protected by the older ones." Professor
liickmore next took up the rays or
skates, and pointed out tho principal
characteristics of thoses lishes. Somo
rays, he said, were regular electric bat
teries, which could produce currents of
electricity from their body of sufficient
power to knock a strong man down.
