Those who have kept him for years in
aquariums, and closely studied his
ways, say that the prawn is never seen
to use his weapon, though it is SO sharp
and looks so dangerous
The prawn has sort of cousin-the
shrimp, which is much liked for eating,
especially in England, where it is found
in crowds on the sand near shore. It is
caught by sort of dredge, drawn by a
horse a little way out in the water.
This little fellow has curious fashion
of throwing the sand up in a little
shower around him, and sinking into it.
where he cannot be seen. He does it
by means of his false feet, which wave
back and forth and brush up the fine
sand, while he sinks into the hole thus
made. When the sand falls back it
hides him.
Prawns and shrimps grow, like other
little fellows who wear armor, by she'd
ding their skin. This comes off so per-
feet that it is most beautiful and deli
cate object to look at as it floats about
in the water, and equally interesting in
microscope.

Sits gay little Trissy quite grave and demure.
With huge pair of spectacles perched on her

Her long, silken gown trailing out on the floor,
And under its folds nestling slyly, Old Ted
"Now .grandmamma's tired, dear children, -
she says,
And thinks she'll indulge in an afternoon
nap"
Then drops her blue knitting and shuts her
blue eyes,
And settles her spectacles over her cap.
With shout and scramble they rush for the
lounge,
Ihen all make a feint Of being quite still

And last though not least, noisy, mschiev-

Five minutes, no more, not sound in the

Then Josie no longer the silence could keep:

AND found sure enough, grandmamma fast
asleep!
