The mullet lias always attracted a , .illy share of uttentiou. ills fame is not circumscribed by the boundaries if la.- guif. Whether the visitor b. froia the Atlantic or tin? I'acitic coast >r from the shores of the Meditcrm (loan or the Baltic, he wants to see. o>. ■ti line and feast on the mullet. lie is the best known ti.li.that sv.'iius. Some lia\ " a prejudki* ; aii'.-t him: but. IHte all feelings of this na ture, it. rests on an unsubstantial foun dation. It cannot bear investigation, for the mullci piays a greater part in ippeasing the craving for sea foods than any lish Unit inhabits the waters of the gulf. He is here in summer :11id winter, iii fall and in spring. When the fisherman contemplates his plight, when luck is against bini and a feeling of depression creeps over him. the mullet, always ready to give him i helping hand, rushes into his seine and contributes to his fortune and to Ihe gastronomic pleasure of the thou sands of people to whom they are ship ped. He Is a regular standby. In prosperity and in adversity he is al ways here In abundance.—Paseagoula Chronicle. Helping Him Out. lie was well groomed, sober, evi dently intelligent, but he looked wor ried as lie approached a policeman on Broadway, near Long Acre square. "Otlicer, 1 know my name and all that sort of thing." said he, "but I don't know where 1 live. What'll Ido about it?" "Advertise," said the bluccoat with a stony stare. "What are you giving me?" "Honest." continued the worried one, Vl' in a stranger in New York. Got here this morning. Had the address of a boarding house on a slip of paper a friend gave me. Went there, engaged board, left my trunk and then went out on business. Now I've lost the strip of paper somehow, and I've for gotten the street and number. What'll 1 do?" "Advertise." repeated the bluocoat. but less bluntly "Then goto a hotel and wait for an answer. Another way' is to write to the friend who gave you the address." "Thank you." said the lost oile grate fully.—New York Globe. Life's Day. The time that lias elapsed since the first appearance of life on earth has been variously estimated at 100,000,- 000 to 200,000,000 years. To tax our powers of comprehension as little as possible Dr. 11. Schmidt of Jena has taken the shortest estimate and has tried to make understandable the five great evolutionary periods through which life lias passe/1 by comparing them with a day of twenty-four hours. This is the result: The archeozoic pe riod (52,000.000 years) is represented by 12 hours oO minutes; paleozoic (31,- 000,000 years), 8 hours 7 minutes; mesozoic (11,000.000 years), 2 hours :is minutes; ccnozoic (u,000,000 yearsi, -I.'! minutes; authropozoic (100.000 years), 2 minutes, if the last period, the age of man, be compared in its subdivi sions by tlie same scale it is found that the "historic" portion covers only 5 seconds, and 2 seconds are suili clout for the Christian era. It seems incredible, but the evidence is con vincing that this does not exaggerate the time reflations of our written rec ords with the records of the rocks. An East Indian Crime.

Meat on a Spit. It was the custom in mediaeval times to serve roast meat on a spit and to pass it round the table for each guest to cut off what he liked. In France one still finds chicken livers and ba con served on small spits. It is probable that many people con tiuued to prefer lingers to table uten sils even after these were perfected and in general use, for knives were certainly invented at the period when Charles XII. chose to butter bis bread with his royal thumb.

In antebellum days Colonel Moore of Kentucky owned a large number of slaves. <me day one of the field lmnds, named .Fupe. was guilty of some neg ligence and was sent to the woods at once to cut down and split up a black gum tree, practically an impossible task. .Tupe cut down the tree and la bored hard to split the tough wood, but in vain. In the meantime a thun derstorm came up, and Jupe sought refuge under a brush heap. Directly the lightning struck a large po,ilar near by. splitting it into kindling wood. After tlie storm had passed Jupe crawled out from his place of security and after taking a careful look at the remains of the poplar tree, which were scattered all over the woods, sail!: "Mr. Lightnin', i wish you had jus. tried yo' ban' 011 dis black gum.
