T!ie commonest Inhabitant of sea or
: Iwre In olilnn times was Invested with
f:i bilious qualities. The homely barna-
!, for limtnuee, because of Its feath
cry breathing apparatus, was said to

i nrd, a naturalist who flourished at the
i Iokr of the sixteenth century, actually
Rive credence to the ridiculous legend
In his "Herbul," and furnishes a de
tailed account of the alleged metamor
phosis. Kveu today, notwithstanding the
elaborate and Intricate systems of scl
entiQc dnssltf cation, there are still
many of tho marlno fauna with llttlo
more Individuality than can be ex
pressed In a Latin label. It Is with n
few of these odd denlzeus of the deep
that we are Immediately coicoined.
l!ut few will have happened across
the sea fan, one of the zoophytes or
animal plants. It Is found u the Dev
on const occasionally. It consists of a
calcareous framew'ork or skeleton from
six to twelve Inches In height, with
many branches', which are covered
with a flesh colored membrane. The
bitter Is really composed of Innumera
ble polyps which, curious to relate, se
crete from the salt water the lime nec
essary for the building up of their
common support.
The sea pen Is not dissimilar. It Is
only three or four Inches long and,
like a quill, Is naked at one end and
"feathered" at tho other, the polyps be-
lug on the edge of the feathers. The
ea pen Is phosphorescent and when Ir
ritated, either by being Injured or
.thrown Into fresh water.plows brightly.
A slightly higher but still lowly form
-,r oceanic life is the tuniritn. The
t pedes Is so called because the body
is Incased In a stout eontiii? or tunic,
consisting of partly cellulose , which, as
we know, Is also largely pr sont in the
vegetable world.
One variety of the tunicate or as
cldlnn Is shaped like a docile necked
bottle. All have two opt .lings, one
t'.r the Influx and one for the outflow
of water.
The snltm Is a transpare it, tubular
Rttius of the tunicate fnmll? found In
trop'cnl and subtropical se is. It ex
ists in two separate forms, one of
which lives alone and produces n num
lier of the others by o sort of budding
jirocess.
A number of these latter unite side
liy side so as to make up n series or
luster. Each of the numerous Balpa
In the group lays a single egg, which
In Its turn evolves Into one of the sol
itary Individuals.
Sea grapes might with g-oater rea
son be classed as belonging I ) the veg
etable world beneath the vaves, and
yet these sea fruit are not so Innocu
ous at they would appear. They are
the eggs of the embryo cut lefish, one
of the most repulsive and sinister of
submarine monstrosities.
The cuttlefish swims by ejecting a
Jet of water from a tubul lr opening
near the head. Having r.a internal
skeleton, It Is closely allied to tho ver
tebrates. With its eight arms provided
with suckers, IN parrotllk" beak, its
prominent eyes and Its playful habit of
throwing mud In the eyes of Its ene
mies by secreting an Inky Culd, It la a
queer creature.
Its relative, the octopus, Is very
similar, but Is minus tho two tenta
cles, or feelers, possessed by the cuttle
fish. They are widely distributed In
tropical and subtropical seas and often
Brow to a largo size.
Encounters with them form a fruit
ful theme for travelers' talon. Terhapa
tho most Imaginative Is that fine piece
of writing descriptive of n fight with
one of these devilfish (as they are
sdlnctlmes called) In Victor Hugo's
"Toilers of the Sea."
There are some very peculiar deni
zens of the seas which wash tho Scotch
coasts. One of these enjoys the eu
phonious title of the lumpsuckcr.
Thick and clumsy In shape, with a
rough and warty skin, its name is a
congruous one. Nor is It made more
acceptable by Its blue, purple and or
ange tints and its oily flesh, albeit the
' latter appears to be keenly relished by
seals.
The particular apparatus which gives
this ungainly fish its name is a power
ful sucker or disk on the lower part of
its body. The object of this attach
ment is not very clear but by means of
the sucker It can In stormy weather or
turbulent waters anchor Its clumsy
hulk safely to the bottom. When its
young fry are batched In shallow water
they immediately attach themselves
by means of their suckers to the male
fish, which Is said to watch over them
The fifteen pound stickleback, some
times called the sua adder, is a salt wa
ter variety often fouud on tie coasts of
Great Britain and Ireland. It fre
quents rocky and stony bottoms cover
ed with seaweed and is chleiy remark
able for the fact that It is unique
nmong the finny tribe as a nest builder.
These structures may be found In
spring or summer in the rock pools be
tween tides. The structure is about
eight inches long, pear shaped and
formed of seaweed and corallines.
To bind the whole thing together the
ntlckleback is furnished with a accre
tion capable, when drawn Into l
thread, of resisting the water. With
(his thread, fine as silk and still strong
md elastic, it wrapa the different por
tions of the nest round and round. The
ttpavrn Is deposited In the nest from
time to time In Irregular masses, and
during the period of Incubation the
anxious little parent hovers about.
rerhaps better known is the angler
or ll'lilug frog. It often grows to a
length of three or four feet, has an
enormous ilut head and a mouth and
teeth to ii):itrh.
It Is furnished with three tentacles
two frmu above the mouth anil the
third from the b.vk of the bead. Out)
of thi'in Ithe hinged) Is movable In
any direction and has u small, highly
colored inumlirane at the end by way
of bait.
When another llsli approaches to

BREAKING TRAIL.
In the I'rori ii Wilderness It Is the
Meum-Nt of All TiukH,
To break trail is to pack with your
suow-lin's the soft anil uncrusted
snow Into a more solid path, so that
tli doi:s and toboggans may he
brought forward to when? you can
make it nip. Even the snowslioes, two
feet In width, sink a foot or eighteen
inches at every step. The snow crum
bles an ! piles in on top of the web so
that you have to tear each stop with a
wrench aud a kick and a cloud of
fr t.-ion white. You gi forward, you
rest, you go forward again, forcing
your way laboriously through no one
can h iy how many feet of snow. The
wearinei's enters into the very mar
row of your bones. The suowshoe
strap moves hack and forth Just
enough across the moose bide mocca
sin to gall the foot to the flesh of the
I i. s; the inusiiej across the Instep
ache with knifcliko cuts with every
step iij you lift the heavy weight of
snow that covers the shoe out of sight.
I remember the first day wo stopped
midway across the lake to rest. The
guide.-! dropped the tmapllne from tho
forehead to their shoulders, cut some
tobacco from a plug, rubbed It be
tween their hands and filled short,
black pipes. The dogs lay flat on the
snow and bit and chewed rt the solid
lumps of ice that had gathered on the
paws. With the handle of my ax I
scraped from my suowshoe the frozen
masses of ice that gathered under mV
inncr-unlus and were wearing blisters
on my feet. We rested here only n
few minutes, and then the bitter cold
drove us on ngnin, for no mini dares to
stop long In such a tempera lure.
Tills brooking trail Is very pictur
cwiie to an outside observer. Often
times afterward when, unincumbered,
I had gone on ahead I would stop and
turn and watch the guides black pyg
mies struggling through the boundless
stretch of white with their heavily
loaded toboggans In great clouds of
snow. With their shoulders thrust for
ward and their heads bent to the trail
they would swing along at au even
stride across the level expanse of fro
zen snow, broken only by the thin line
of trail stretching behind them off Into
the distance and by tho many still nar
rower tracks of tho fox crlss crossing
here and there on the smooth surfuce.

A Mnld of Honor.
The lute Lady Uloomtleld was a maid
of honor and published a book of rem
iniscences relating some very Intimate
incidents of her years at court. The
result, the London correspondent of
the Manchester Guardian tells, was
that tho queen forbade her ladles to
keep diaries while they were In wait
ing, and from that rule grew one of
the neatest repartees that the heart of
the professional diarist could desire.
A young lai'y who had Just been ap
pointed a maid of honor was receiving
congratulations at a party, and her
dost said. ''What an interesting Jour
nal you can keep!" The girl told him
that Journal keeping was forbidden,
and the answer w;as. "Hot I think I
should keep one all the same." "Then,"
said the girl, "whatever you were you
would not be a maid of honor."
ISijanl to the Occasion.
Chuuneey liepe.v onee dined with
three ladles hi a New York restaurant,
ie was so entertaining that one of the
,ndles plucked up courage and during
dessert leaned over and tapped the
diplomat on the arm and with an affec
tation of shyness said: "Mr. Depew, let
us pretend thot you are the shepherd
Paris, I nm Minerva, Mrs. Blank Is
Venus and Miss Blank is Juno. Now,
you must give this golden apple to the
fairest." So saying, she banded him an
orange. Depew did not wait an in
stant, but, turning In his chair, called
the waiter. "Walter," be said, "bring
me two more oranges."
JAPANESE WHALER3.
The Cnrlooa War Thrr Do Their
Work With Nela and KoItw.
I Whales are captured In nets by the j
Japanese. The whalers put off from
I the shore us quietly as possible, and
i when tin- come within the proper dis
tance of their objective the bouts,
, which have hitherto worked in couples,
I separate und, dropping their nets as
. they go, work around to the reur and t
i flunks of their expected kill. The nets
I are niiide ill large squurcs, each side
1 being about forty feet long. One net
is composed of six squares III line, aud
: the squares are fastened to each other
lightly. When all Is ready the boats
j which have been worked around to the
J rear of the whulu then commence to
drive lilni gently toward the nets. Mov
ing along lazily at llrst, the whale soon
realizes that something untoward Is
happening and, hurrying forward,
dashes on to one of the nets. This is the
critical moment, and when the Usher
men see that the whale is well In the
center of one of the squares they raise
a great shout am charge In upon li 1 lit.
When the whale Is about spent n man
chosen for his strength, activity, pluck,
coolness ami general lituess for his
work then leaps upon his buck and
wllh a great triangular shaped knife
proceeds to cut two great gisbes in his
body Just back of his head. Through
the underlying blubber and these two
gashes lie passes a rope and, knotting
It, (nakes n loop of It. He then repeats
the same opeintiou as far back on his
body as be can. When the light has
been completely knocked out of the
whale, bouts range alongside of him,
and by the help of the loops already
mentioned the hapless cetacean Is !
slung between them in such u manner
us to minimize the danger of his cur
cass Kinking. '
Then the boats form hi procession,
and, making for the shore, there com
mences the most curious part of tho
whole affair. The whalers, with real (
fervor and In the most solemn innnner
possible, begin a chanting prayer for
the ease of the departing spirit by call
ing out "Joraku! Joraku! .loriiku!" In
low. deep tones. Upon the third day
after the kill n memorial service Is
held In the village temple, und prayers
are offered for the repose of the dead
whale's soul. Chicago News.

SERMON REPORTERS.
In KngllsU Churches They Are Only
Admitted on Sufferance.
Some one who evidently speaks from
knowledge writes In the Ilomiletlc Re
view of "The Experiences of a Sermon
Reporter." His remarks on the differ
ent rules In English and American
newspapers on sermon reporting aud
his statement that It Is necessary to
verify Scriptural texts are not without
Interest. 1'o.islbly thure is a text for
a sermon not preached by the preach
ers In the following paragraph:
Reporters are Invariably welcomed
to American churches, for American
preachers seem fully alive to the value
of the advertisement obtained through
newspaper notices. Some preachers
even maintain their own "press agent"
In order to secure the utmost publicity
for the occasionally brilliant and, It
may be, eccentric statements which
they deliver. In English churches the
reporter Is only admitted on sufferance.

A DOG IS ALWAYS HONEST.
He tnn't Growl and Wna HI Tall at
the Snnie Time.
"There Is one peculiar thing about
dogs," remarked a well known local
fancier and huntsman, and that Is you
never suw one punt and wng his tail
at the same time. A dog Is not capa
ble of a double emotion. He can't
growl and wag bis tail at the same
time, for It Is Impossible for him to ,
be mud at one cud and glad at the
other.
"If a dog Is glad to see his master
he will bark and wng his tail. If he
wunts to get Into the house he will
paw at the door, whine and wag his j
tall, but they nrc all symptoms of one
and the s.ime emotion. But If bis mas
ter opens the door he will cease to
show anxiety Immediately by whining
and will show pleasure only by the
wagging of his tall.
"In order to get a man's temper one
must watch bis eyes, but for a dog'a
you liave to watch bis tall. The dog is '
likewise Incapable of deceit, and hence i
he Is nothing of a politician. He de
eelves no one, not even his master. If
be Ih overjoyed every emotion Is In
dicative of that fact, and his whole !
makeup gives ample testlmony to it. J
If he is displeased or angered it is the
same way." Houston Post

ELEPHANTS LUMBERING.
Ther Were Not Onlr Pains Man's
Work, but Dnlna; It Man's War,
The elephauts round us were drug
ging the logs to the mill to bo sawed.
They were harnessed for this with a
broud breast bund aud heavy chains.
A native looped the uhuliu round the
logs, and the elephant started off with
them ami deposited them ou the trol
ley. Others were picking up the sawed
planks with their truuks and carrying
them across the yard to be piled.
A uiahoiit sat on the neck of every
elephant, and if the animal picked up
too small a plank the mahout would
hint, with his Iron spike, that two
might go to that loud. Then, grunting,
the elephant would pick up the sec
ond with Infinite delicacy of balance,
turn, march over and deposit them be
side the pile, always returning for an
other loud so long as there were any
plunks ready. When there were none
lie would take his esse In the sun und
wnlt, or perhaps there were heavy log
to be pushed from one place to an
other, and if pushing would do, with
his trunk curled against the log. no
elephant would give himself the trou
ble of picking It up any more than a
housemaid will pick up u chair ou
casters.
More fascinating It was than I can
tell to see the Jungle patriarch kneel
down to a heavy log, twist his trunk
round It, place It on the top of the
pile and then calculate Its position and
push and pull until It was square In
Its place. The oddest because tlie
most reasonable thing was to see the
elephant, pushing against the end of a
very heavy log, stretch out one hind
leg to give himself balance aud pur
chase. Thut seemed to bring him
somehow very near to us. He wus not
only doing our work, but he wus do
ing It In our way.
Presently," with one accord, all the
elephants dropped work and moved In
tlie direction of the sheds.
"That means It's 11 o'clock," said

that a huge bear bad scaled the wall

A SYMBOL OF PEACE.
the Here Ha Uad Thla Ulitlaetleat
In All Ace Slave the Floed.
The dove has Uwn pictured as the
bird or pence by writers and artists In
ull the uge since the time of the flood,
for the dove bas figured lu the sym
bolism of many races aud of count
less generations. According to the
Century Dictionary, the dove Is tho
bird of pence because of the Incident
recorded In the eighth chapter of Gen
esis: "Aud it came to pass at the end
of forty days Unit Noah opened tho
window of the urk which ho hud made,
and he sent forth a ruven which went
to and fro until the waters were dried
up from off the earth. And lis snot
fortli a dove from hi in to see If tho
waters were ahuted from ofT the face
of the ground, but the dove found no
rest for the sole of her foot, and she
returned unto him hi the urk. Aud
he stayed yet another seven days, and
again he sent forth the dove out of tlie
urk, and the dove came to him In the
evening, and, lo, In her mouth was an
olive loaf plucked off; so Noah knew
that the waters were abated from o"
the earth."
Proper mimes derived from the dove,
have always been used in the orient
ns descriptive of loveliness nnd wers
especially applied to beautiful wo
men. 'I lie dove wus woven Into the
pagan worship of undent northern
Europe, a nil It has a great place In
early Christian life and symbolism.
I'rom Immemorial time tho dove has
always been a type of Innocence to
the .lews. Elsewhere It has been as
sociated since the Olympian uge with
the higher Idea of Venus as the sym
bol of natural human affection Uio
love that goes with purity uud sim
plicity of heart. It hud a part In mar
riuge scenes and was naturally Intro
duced by early Christian painters Into
pictures of the Madonna and child and
of female saints. These qualities of
gentleness ami affection combined with
their mournful notes made doves
equally appropriate to moods of sor
row, and they were u part of the furni
ture of most pagau fuueral.i. This
passed ou Into Christian usage and
their likenesses, generally combined
with the olive branch, were curved
on the tombs In the catacombs be
neath Rome ami elsewhere, emblematic
of eternal peace.
In the Sporting Magazine for 1825
this appeared: "Pigeons ere rarely
seen at the table of the Russians, ho
entertain a superstitious veneration r
these birds because the Holy Ghost a
sinned the fo.'in of a dove." Comment
ing on tills, a writer says, "This cus
tom of tlie ubitineuce from the flesh
of tlie dove Is far older than Christian
ity, being indeed in all probability con
nected with tlis same class of feelings
as those which niarkod It out as the
Aryan death bird."
Sir Richard V. Burton roinarki: "Ev
er since Noah's dove every religion
seems to consider the pigeon as tho
sacred blr.l. For example, overy
mosque swarms with pigeons, and the
same exist In most Italian market
places. The Hindoo pundits and tho
old Assyrian empire also have them."

"I should like to know." said the
clerk "In fact, I have loti-f wanted to

such dark paper."
"Well," said the prospective purchas

got wise long ago. We like dark pa

THE LIVER QUARANTINE
"TAKI.XO BIS HBALS OCT."
((Hurried eating has ruined many a man's
totnach. The digestion-destroying pro
cess is gradual, often unnoticed at first.
Bat it is only a short time until the liver
balks, tli-' digestive organs give way, and
almost countless ills assail the man who
endeavors to economize time at the ex
pense of his health.
QA torpid liver causes a quarantine of the
entire system. It locks in the diseased
germs and bodv poisons and affords them
full play, inviting some serious illness.
Q 1 11 families where August Floweris used,
a sluggish liver and constipation are un
known, so are all stomach ailments, as
well as indigestion, dyspepsis, heartburn,
headaches and kidney and blader affec
tions. No well-repnlated family should
be without this standard remedy.
