yi = “their noses to the wall. ~ Bellefonte, Pa., April 23, 1926. Pirate Perch Turns Sunfish Out of Nest Sunfish are troubled with what may be called a marine cuckoo—the pirate perch. This fish, which is either too lazy or else incapable of making a nest of its own, waits until the sun- fish have completed their nest and then turns them out, installing itself in their place. Its eggs are frequent- ly laid among those of the original occupants. These, however, are not disturbed and hatch out in due course says the Vancouver Province. Perhaps the most Interesting nest found under water is that of the black-nosed dace. The fish clears a space about two feet in diameter and the female deposits a layer of eggs. Then a layer of stones is gradually placed over the eggs, the stones being brought to the nest in the mouth of the dace. On these another layer of eggs Is placed and then comes another layer of stones. These alternate layers of eggs and stones are slowly built up until the pile reaches a height of eight inches or so. The black goby forms a home for its <ggs like a ball. This is constructed of pieces of weed interwoven and bound together, the eggs being placed inside. As is often the case, the male builds the nest and, after the eggs ‘have been deposited, takes it in turn to guard it. Hardly Draw Breath During Winter Sleep The mild weather sometimes ob- served during winter occasionally wakes before their time animals which have been spending the winter buried in the ground or in trees. While these creatures are asleep, often for months, respiration seems to be totally sus- pended. A hedgehog was recently immersed m a pail of cold water, and though the ducking was continued for thirty minutes the animal was taken out unhurt. So slight was its breathing that practically no water entered its lungs. y Marmots and bats have been placea mn glass chambers filled with carbon dioxide. In their normal state they have expired almost immediately ; but in their winter sleep they have sur- vived after four hours in the gas chambers. Extreme cold will sometimes kill six _aonths’ slumberers, but there have been notable exceptions in the case of animals with cold blood. Occasionally fish have been brought to life when taken from solid blocks of ice; frogs have been known to recover after ice has formed in their blood. Tribute to Franklin for G8 years Benjamin Franklin served his country and mankind, and history affirms the judgment of his contemporaries, expressed most not- ably in the tribute adopted by the national assembly of France upon an- nouncement of his death. Offering the resolution. which was seconded by Rochefoucauld and Lafayette, Mira- beau declared: “The sage whom two worlds claim 4s their own, the man for whom the history of science and the history of empires contend with each other, held without doubt exalted rank in the hu- man race. Antiquity would have raised altars to this mighty genius, who. to the advantage of mankind, compassing in his mind the heavens and the earth, was able to restrain alike thunderbolts and tyrants. KEu- rope, enlightened and free. owes at least a token of remembrance to one of the greatest men who have ever been engaged in the service of philos- ophy and of liberty.” Horses “Inside Out” According to a French technical pub- lication devoted to the horse breeding industry, a Chinese visitor was re- cently taking notes at a prize stock farm in France. When he reached the stable where 20 fine horses were standing in their stalls, the celestial turned to the owner. “I cannot understand,” said he, “why you Europeans always put your . animals in their stalls inside out.” “Inside out!” exclaimed the breeder, “Exactly, You stable them with They cannot see anything, are easily frightened and are apt to kick. In my country we turn them around so that they can see what is going on and who is . approaching them.

RRR PRISCILLA IN SPITE OF HER- SELF. (Continued from page Col. 5.) “Yes, I know.” Larry’s voice was soothing, he tightened his hold upon the hand he held. Through his mind drifted a vagrant memory of a ner- vous horse he had once owned and eased over hurdles. There were mo- ments when he hated this thing he was doing; but what chance did the child have here at home? Society had gone rotten. In the crowd she trained with, there wasn’t one chance in a thousand of normal life, of any real happiness. He could give her love and the clean, free, decent life of the big, primitive, unspoiled places. What was she giving up? Jazz and sensation-mad friends and a home that seemed to be more of a luxurious lodging-house for her than a real home. ] The old people would take it hard; but youth had a right to its own life. Old people hadn’t made such a suc- cess of running the world, with their laws and traditions. He could make Jean happy, teach her meaning of life. The devil could take any laws that stood between. Those laws were broken every day, right there among the folk her family called nice peo- ple, and their social world winked. It was a decenter thing to take one’s happiness openly. He tightened his grip on her hand, painfully, but she liked it. Some way or other, most of the world seemed to be loosening its hold upon her. She was glad to have something hold fast. Chimes, somewhere, were sounding half past two as Jean slipped her latch-key into her front door. A memory of the battle she had had with her mother and father over that latch-key when she had first demand- ed it came to her mind. There were hosts of memories afloat that night. She stole up the staira to her room. A rose-shaded light was burning on the bedside table, the bedcovers were turned down, a vacuum jug of hot cocoa stood beside the night-light. Her mother had been sending it up lately, since the unruly daughter had been looking fagged but wouldn’t see a doctor. The unruly daughter stood in the middle of the room and looked about her. Such a pretty room! She had never before realized how pretty and comfortable it was. She could reach the low book-shelves without getting up. Not that she had much time for reading. The things one had to read if one didn’t want to be a back number weren't very amusing—stuff like Freud and D. H. Lawrence and free verse. She hadn’t understood much of the high- brow patter and hadn’t liked Yauch of the fiction or poetry. Of course it was old-fashioned, but she liked poetry that sang itself in her ears— poetry about dusk and amethyst mists and summer rain and wind and love and pain. There was a shabby volume of Tennyson on the lowest shelf; but she’d have died rather than admit it to any of the crowd. She shook her shoulders as though shaking off a hand, and went over to her dressing-table. There were the painted ivory boxes dad bought her in Paris. Horribly extravagant, but he had been such a duck about sur- prising her with them. She handled them a moment, and laid them down. Her bags were full and reminders would be heavy excess weight on the road she was taking; but she would take the picture of Granny, in the old silver frame. It had been a birth- day present. Granny’d be hurt if she left it. Granny’d be hurt! Oh, yes; Granny was going to be badly hurt. The picture might as well be left. A little more or a little less wouldn’t mean much, in the hurt Granny was going to have. She pulled her dress- ing-case and bag from the closet, opened them, put in some toilet arti- cles, a trinket or two. The clock on the mantel said a quarter to three. She must hurry. o ry She stripped off her evening frock and hung it in the closet. How good | that closet smelled. It had always smelled like that—all the hangers and covers sprayed .with lavender- water once a week. Horribly old- fashioned. The girls all made fun of | her; but there was something so clean and fresh about just the merest whiff | of lavender. Granny had taught her that when she was a little girl. Gran- ays things always smelled of laven- er. | Hurriedly she shut the closet door, | got into a dark frock and hat, closed | her dressing-case. Five minutes of ' three! Lary had said it would take 'a half-hour to drive to the boat and | the gang-plank would go up at half- | past three. She turned out the rose- | shaded light and drew the window- curtains aside. There, far away | against the sky, was the Metropoli- | tan tower. How often she had looked | at it as she opened her windows for the night. She needn't leave the windows open tonight. The big, bare maple-tree, in the little yard aeross the street, was etching queer shadows on the moon- lit ground. She had always liked those shadows. One could see almost anything in them. She wondered what the trees in Africa would be like. Queer, tropical things probably. | No maples. No; not any maples. She ' was sure of that. And, suddenly, she | felt that she needed maples in her | — ‘life, that she eouldn’t go on living without the familiar comforting shade and shadows of maple-trees. Three o'clock rang the relentless , chimes. g | The girl turned from the window. The moonlight was flooding into the room, silvering all the familiar lit- tle things that had been a part of the old life, blanching the sheets of the waiting bed, throwing high lights on the jug of cocoa, gleaming on the frame of Granny’s picture—Granny’s picture! ; : | There was no time to think, to re- gret—she must go. She picked up the bag and dressing-case. They were heavy, unbelievably heavy, or was it that she was very tired? Without a backward look, she went out through the door, closed it gent- ly behind her and stood in the shad- owy hall, looking down at the night- HOW TO SOLVE A CROSS-WORD PUZZLE When the correct letters are placed in the white spaces this puszle spell words both vertically and horizontally. indicated by a number, which refers to the definition listed below the pusszle.

She should have left it in her room—still, it didn’t matter. All of the family had night-keys except Granny. Granny didn’t need one. Funny that one could come to a time when one wouldn’t want a night-key— when one could sit and remember. All the more reason why one should live while one could—and yet, to have to live with oneself, when the time came— Of course, Granny had her children and grandchildren—children and grandchildren! Outside a car honked cautiously. With a stifled cry, the girl dropped her bags and fled down the dark hali to where a dim light showed through a transom. She opened the door, slipped through it, ran across the room to the bed, where an old lady lay sleeping, her wrinkled face serene against the pillow. The horn sounded again, more insistent this time. Jean dropped on her knees beside the bed. “Granny!” she sobbed, “Granny! For God’s sake, wake up and show me how to pray!” Dawn was stealing in at the win- dows when Jean moved from Granny’s arms, where she had laid, close held, unquestioned, sobbing her heart out. She managed a twisted, tremulous smile as she looked with her swollen eyes into the old, wise, loving eyes of the woman who had crossed all of her own Rubicons save one. “Well, old Ezra was too much for me,” said Grammy’s granddaughter, —From the Hearst’s International— Cosmopolitan. louder, of Paint.
