A Fish That Gives Paint.
TUe well known brown pigment call
ed sepia 1s obtained from u ten armed
octopus found principally In the Med
iterranean and more especially at the
head of the Adriatic sea, where It is
caught by the natives for food.
The sepia is contained In a bag and
Is really the black fluid of which we
have ail read as being discharged by
the creature to cover its escape. Some
naturalists say that the fluid is brown
ish, which becomes more credible when
we know that this is the source of
sepia. The pigment is really a powder
which dissolves in water. Its strength
may be estimated by the fact that it
will color 1,000 times its awn built.
When the octopus has been killed the
Back or bag is removed and dried to
prevent putrefaction. The sepia is
treated with ammonia or caustic soda,
washed and dried. It is one of the
most durable of paints, except when
fully exposed to the fierce rays of the
sun, and an even surface can be ob
tained with it more easily than with
most paints. Sepia has been obtained
from a fossil cuttlefish thousands of
years old and found to be quite good
for paint.
The Change From Black to Red.
"See that little woman who just
went out?" remarked a Fourth avenue
milliner to a customer. "Noticed that
red hat, did you? Well, as a milliner
and a person whose business it is to
study the different characteristics of
women I have watched her for two
years. It has been a kind of study of
the 'evolutions of a widow.'
"Two years ago she came to me, re
cently bereaved, and had me make her
a hat oi deepest black. She was bro
ken hearted and declared she would
never again take an interest in the
pretty things that women like to wear.
A year ago she came again.
" 'Don't you think I might have the
least bit of white in my new hat?' she
asked.
" 'Yes,' I said; 'I think you might.'
| and the hat was made. Three months
I later she came for another hat, and
j she stood for a little touch of laven-
I der. Next she had a big white plume,
i and last week I made her that red
hat. It just shows what time will do
in lifting up a heart bowed down."—
Louisville Times.
The Releaser.
If he hadn't been a dreadful bore
and the hour wasn't so late it is quite
possible the lovely girl would have
refrained from the exercise of a stra
tegic scheme, says the Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
"Hark!" she whispered as ho paused
in the midst of a long winded de
scription of his camping outfit.
| "What is it?" he whispered in re
turn.
She smiled reassuringly.
"It's only papa, lie must bo oiling
the releaser."
"And what is the releaser?"
"It's one of papa's ingenious
schemes. Every night, at exactly 11
o'clock, ho pulls up a brass chain that
releases our brindle bull pup from
his annex adjoining the kitchen; that's
all."
And she laughed merrily. The caller
glanced at the clock on the mantel.
It indicated 10:57.
"I find I must go,"he said in a
slightly hurried manner. "And good
night."
Punishment For Perjury.
Terjury is a crime more severely
punished in Germany than in any oth
er country in the world. Even an ap
parently trivial misstatement under
oath carries a sentence of ten years in
prison. Excepting murder, there are
few crimes that carry as heavy a pen
ally as perjury. The German theory Is
that the entire system of jurispru
dence rests on the respect for an oath
administered under the forms of law
and that this must be strictly guarded
in order to secure the punishment of
other crimes and insure justice in civil
cases. Germany stands at one extreme
and the United States at the other.
Fewer people are punished in the
United States for false swearing hi
the witness box than in any other
country.—London Telegraph.
