But how shall We describe the wealth
OF the mollusk world which meets US
in our researches in the treasury OF
coral reef at low tide? Let us land on
this shell-strewn spit OF sand. Why.
the whole place is aliyei Can it be
that the mollusks We have just been
visiting in their quiet homes among the
sea-weeds have taken to walks abroad.
and on dry land. too, in their leisure
moments? For as We jump ashore
numberless shells of all shapes and
sizes start suddenly into life on the
beach and run aside to give US place.
Legs they must have TO go that pace
over the uneven shore. There goes

mid which those legs-legs they must
be-carry upon their back. Moreover.
he makes comparatively bad time in
getting out of our way, for turritella
is An unwieldly thing for legs TO carry
over an uneven shore. We lift him up
gingerly with thumb and forefnger to
look for those legs, and the secret is
out. OF legs we can see nothing. but
closely fitted into the opening of the
shell. as II originally made for the
place. we discover the brilliant scarlet
and white msndibles of the hermit
crab. These. then. were crabs that
were in such hurry to get out Of our
way-crabs, certainly. and of consider

babies among them only big enough TO
fit the smallest whelk; others large
enough to fill with their msndibles the

they are the most gregarious of their

DROPPING TO A HOG.
A Performance Which n Colored Broi her
Termed a Waste of Strength.

We rolled into one of the railroad
stations in North Carolina just as the
clocks were striking midnight. and it
was as dark as black eats and the rain
coming down with steady pour The
station was closed, not person about,
and when the train had departed we
were left in more senses than one.
There Were five of us altogether, and
after nasty consultation the Colonel
started of down the platform saying
he knew the way up town. | was next

him. Next instant found him. how
ever. My feet stepped out to find
nothing to rest on, and one after the
other three came tumbling after :"
We had walked off the end of the plat
form and taken drop of six feet. and
the first two of us struck big hog " no
was sweetly slumbering the night
away. The porker got up just in time
to be knocked down again by the third
man. and before he got away he upset
every one of us two or three times
mud when we reached the hotel, and
none of us had got over being mad
next morning when colored man
came around and inquired for them

onel went out to see what was wanted.
Say. some of you'uns moas' killed
my hog down to de depot last mite, F"
said the man.
WAS that your hog?'
He was. Dat hog. he"
The Colonel picked him up and gave
him lift which landed him on his
head in flower bed between the fence
and the veranda. He maintained his
poise for half minute, and then his
feet came down and he gathered him
self and jumped the fence and broke
for the country. We did not see him
again, but later in the day an emissary
of his called and inquired:
Gem len. de owner of dat hog doan'
want any damages, but he does want
to know how many of you fell on himin

the Colonel.

AsstrnsIa's Extensive Trade in the skf

AsstrnIJa's Extensive TraAe in the sktws
Of the Little Crop Destroysrs.
When the acclimatization societies
Of Australasia introduced the rubbit
some years ago they thought they were
accomplishing good work and little
anticipated what serious injury these
rabbits would effect in less than ten
years. and that their determination
would be costly and impossible work.
Rabbits have 80 increased now in Aus.
tralia and New Zealand that the
colonists are at their Wits end how to
repair the evil. The extent OF the In
jury done to the pasturage required for
sheep may be inferred In some measure
from the enormous number OF rabbit
skins exported. which, however, prove
a blessing TO the cheap furriers of En-
rope and America. A local industry
has also sprung up in the colonies in
making soft felt hats from their fur.
Coney wool was encouraged and valued
In England 100 years ago, and is now
worth "a cents pound.
The damage done to the crops In
the Australian colonies by the little
animals that furnish the skins for ex-
port has become Of such magnitude as
TO furnish the subject Of parliamentary
legislation there From the single
colony Of New Zealand there has been
exported about 10. OO0. 000 skins, valued
at nearly $3.750.OO0. But the property
destroyed BY these rodents is estimat-
ed by millions. and this industry Of
rabbit skins is one which the people
there do not wish to see prosper In
Victoria the colony is asserted to have
sustained loss of about SIS .0)O. 900.
The cheap Innings OF coats and ladies'
cloaks and many OF the dyed articles
OF fur are due to rabbit skins, home
and foreign. In the last ten years o.
600, 900 rabbit skins have been export
ed from Victoria.
In addition to the exports from the
colonies. many have been used locally
by hat manufacturers and others and
large numbers have doubtless been de-
stroyed or allowed to decay. The ex-
tensive supply from Australasia has
flooded the English market and the
trade has on hand a supply sufficient
to last for year or two. The En-
glish rabbit breeders also found it TO
their advantage to kill rabbits mainly
for their skins, and the supply OF home
skins is said to reach 80. 900, 900 an
nually. Belgium, which supplies us
with the tame-bred rabbits SO largely
appreciated and imported for food
sends away over 5000. 900 rabbit skins,
but then. these skins are much larger,
OF finer color and better fitted for
furs than those of the wild rabbit In
some of the Australian colonies at
tempts were made to preserve their
flesh in tins for food. One company in
South Australia employed forty or fifty
trappers and thus prepared 600 or
1000 rabbits day. But this utilizing
process has been dropped since the
wholesale poisonings have been re-
sorted to.-Journal of the Society oil

ONE CENTURY AGO.
When Farmers Had to DO without Now.

ers, heapers ana Leaders.
The farmer did not have a mower
and reaper then. Although Pliny the
elder, who was born A. ID. %, describes
machine to reap grain which was
used in Gaul, it was not until the pres
emit century that these machines came
into use. Pliny says of the Gaulic
reaper: In the extensive fields in the
lowlands of Gaul vans Ccartsl of large
size. with projecting teeth on the edge.
are driven on two wheels through the
standing grain by an OK yoked in a
reverse position. In this manner the
ears are taken off and fall into the
van" The first patent for a reaping
machine in England was taken out in
1899. 1t was not until 1922 that
machine was made by school-master
named Henry Ogle, which may have
become the model of all subsequent
reapers. His continuance was very
simple. and upon trial cut fourteen
acres OF grain a day. But this ma
chine met an untimely end. Mr.. Ogle
writes OF ii that some working people
threatened to kill Mr.. Brown, the man
who made it. if he persevered any fur
Their in il. and it hasnever been more
tried. The Oldest known machine
still in use was invented in 1926 by Mr..
Bell, a Scotch minister. This reaper
was improved in 1884. Whether Amer
lean inventors obtained their ideas
Rom these foreign machines is a mat
1er of dispute. But the reaper has
taken the romance out of the haying-
field. Haying-time used to be the
pleasantest on the farm, and no sight
was more beautiful than line Of

last year was ninety-six cents. while
we lent over $l5 to the mayor and

a racket more than one year.
