How Animals Eat.
[San Francisco Chronicle.l

Man is the only animal that has teeth
-incisors, CANNES and molars-of an
equal height. Man, the ape, and nearly
all ruminants, have thirty-two teeth.
The hog, however, is better off than this,
and has forty -four. So has the opossum
and mole. The river dolphin Of South
America lays far beyond this, however,
having no less than 222 teeth. Teeth are
no part of the skeleton, but belong to the
appendages, like skin and hair
The sturgeon is toothless and draws in
its food by suction, but the shark has
hundreds of teeth sets in rows that some
times number ten.
HOLSTERS and crabs masticate their food
with their horny jaws, but they have
also sets of teeth in their stomachs, where
they complete the work of chewing. But
there is one peculiar kind of crab, called
the king or horseshoe crab, which chews
its food with its legs. This is an actual
fact, the little animal grinding its NOR
sells between its thighs before it passes
them over to its mouth.
The jelly fish absorbs its food by
wrapping itself around the object which
it seeks to make its own. The stardsh
is even more accommodating. Fasten-
ing itself to the body it wishes to feed on,
it turns its stomach inside out and en-
wraps its prey with this useful organ.
Dogs seize their food with their jaws,
cats with their feet, and SO do monkeys,
some Of them pressing their prehensile
tails into service. The squirrel uses its
paws to carry its food to its mouth, the
elephant its trunk, the giraffe, ant eater
and toad their tongues.
Spiders chew their food with horny
jaws, which are sharp enough to give
quite a nip.
Grasshoppers and lobusts are very well
provided with the necessary machinery
for eating much and often. They have
saw like jaws and gizzards, too, the
latter being fitted out with horny teeth.
The caterpillar feeds with two saw
edged jaws, working tranversely, and
uses them to such good advantage that
he eats three or four times his own weight
every day.
Toads, tortoises, turtles, and most liz
ards have no teeth. Frogs have teeth
in their upper jaw only. Ant eaters,
sloths and armadillos have no teeth.
The lion and the tiger, and, indeed,
most Of the carnivora, do not grind their
food, using their jaws only up and down,
the molars acting like chopping knives,
or, rather, scissors. Their mouths, in
fact, are a veritable hash mill.
The butterfly pumps nectar into itself
through tube, and bees and flies suck
up their food with long tongue or pro-
boscis.
The spiders mouth is quite a compli-
Gated affair. 1t has fangs for holding its
prey, masticatory organs for bruising its
solid food, and a sucking apparatus for
taking up the fluids. Quite as compli-
Gated is the mouth Of the mosquito,
which consists Of the lances, the saws,
and the pumping tubes.
The leech has three saws, with which
it does good service in the phlebotomy
line.
The woodpecker has a three barbed
tongue, like Fijians spear, with which
1t draws out the worm which it has ex-
cited by its tapping.
The clam feeds with a siphon and the
oyster with its beard

THE first regular monthly meeting of the Me-
Il chances Loan and Building Association will

Saturday, the IOih Day of May, 1890, at
7o'ciock in tho Hvening.
Any Mechanic, Laborer, Salesman, Clerk, and

inducements offered by this Association.
AN ILLUSTRATION:
If a man owns lot and wishes to build house
costing $1,000 he subscribeS for 5000 worth of
stock In the Association and attends a monthly

Premium for one month at i1s per cent. 1.25
Payment for each month. ........ ........ 11.25
Amount paid each year. .................. 1880
Amount PAID In ten years. 10000
AT the end Of ten years the stock has matured.
viz, is worth 5000 per share. The whole sum paid
in Is $3.50, from which take $1,000, the principal
and you have $3.50 as interest for ten years, max
rate Of 3Is per cent When the stock natures his
debt Is paid, payment ceases, the mortgage Is re-
leased, and the borrower owns his house free of
circumference. During these ten years he b as
paid about the same sum monthly as he would pay
for rent, and In the first instance at the end
years he owns house, and In the second he has
one hundred aud twenty receipts for rent
The above illustration applies whether he builds
house, buys one. or pays off a mortgage.

"Well, you see, Red Blanket, the chief,

Sir Toby, waxing wrathful. Look at

a NEW sWINDLE.
How Certain New Workers have
: en- "Done UP" of Late.

New YORK, May 1.-The ingenuity
of the New York sharper is proverbial,
but the latest swindling scheme that has
been developed really scars into the
realms of high art. 1t is being worked
by avery clever couple-a medium sized,
rather nice looking man, and delicate,
modest appearing woman. How many
times they have been successful is not
known, for the police have not, as yet,
been informed of their operations. l
only heard of it by accident.
While at lunch with some friends one
day this week an old friend of mine
joined the party. For the better appre-
citation Of the story, may be permitted
to remark that he is solid and prosper
GUS looking citizen of benevolent appear
ance.
"When | was coming from my house
to the elevated station" he began, with
the air of man who has a story to tell,
''there came round the corner, lust in
front of me, pretty, modest looking lit
tie woman trying to lead a very drunken
man. The fellow was well dressed and
not bad looking but he was horribly
drunk. He would lurch over against
her every few steps and nearly knocked
her over several times. Through it all
he was good natured, even drunkenly
affectionate.
"As passed them he lurched against
me and the woman, who naturally seemed
much distressed, spoke: Would you be
SO kind as to help me take my husband
home,' she said. 1T is only around the
corner, but I'm afraid he will push me
down; he's been out all night and | must
get him home The appeal was SO sim
pie and pathetic that | of course took
hold of his other arm and steadied him
around the corner and saw him safe in
the hallway of one of the big flats. l
noticed that he lurched up against me
once or twice, but thought nothing of
it until l reached the City hall station,
when l went to look at my watch. 1t
was gone, and my pocketbooh had evil
IDENTIFY departed to keep it company. He
certainly could not have picked my
pocket if he had been as drunk as he
seemed to be-" concluded the old gentle
man sagaciously.
"That was this morning. queried a
member of the party, who had listened
to the recital with much interest.
eyes"
"Well, guess it must be the same
couple who played exactly the same
game on me one day last week. They
took $3.50 in cash and 5000 watch from
me-"
swell, they only got fifty odd dollars
from me, but my watch was worth 5000"
said the-iirst speaker. 81 went to inquire
about them at the fiat, but no such peo-
pie lived there. They probably only
stood in the hallway until l got out of
sight"
"Why don't you apply to the police:"
inquired.
"Pd rather bear the loss than have the
story with my name in the papers," they
chorused in answer.
And so this ingenious couple are prob
ably going on reaping rich harvest
among kindly disposed people. There
are two middle aged gentlemen in New
York, however, who, if they see man
zigzagging down the street under the
guidance of quiet little woman, will let
him zigzag, philanthropy being, in their
opinions, too expensive.

LAND OF the BEAUTIFUL DEAD.

And nigh TO the tower of the king,
Close, close 10 the cradle where infancy sleeps,
And joy loves to linger and sing,
lies garden Of light full OF heavens perfume.
Where never a tear drop Is shed,
And the rose and the lily are ever in bloom
IT'S the land Of the beautiful dead
Each moment Of life, messenger comes
And beckons man over the way;
Through the heart sobs Of woman and rolling of
drums
Tho army OF mortals obey
Few lips that have kissed not motionless brow,
A fkce from each fresiSe has ned,
But We know that our loved ones are watching us
now
In the land of the beautiful dead
Not a charm that we knew ere the boundary was
crossed,
And we stood in the valley alone;
Not trait that we priced In our dsrlings is lost
They have fairer and lovelier grown.
As the lilies burst forth when the shadows Of
night
Into bondage at dawn break are led,
So they bask In the glow by the pillar Of light
In the land Of the beautiful dead.
Oh the dead, our dead, our beautiful dead,

Actors are always on good terms with
themselves professionally. They may be
miserable performers, not only beneath
criticism, but beneath censure; but they
never suspect it and could not be con
vinced of it. They may be conscious
that they are not liked ON the stage, but
this, to their biased mind, is only be-
cause they are not appreciated. The
number of wretched, irremediable actors
Is incalculable, though not one OF them
