A SNAIL IN THE EYE.
Peculiar Little Creature That VIII Hun
Up Any Dirt in the Optic.

Peculiar Little Creature That VIII Hunt
Up Any Dirt in the Optic.
Did you ever hear of an eye snail?
It is found on the coast of some of the
South Pacific islands, product of the
sea, and in appearance not unlike the
half of a dry English pea. The fiat
side is slightly concaved, and by close
inspection the numerous small legs can
be seen in readiness for business, ciose'
ly folded together.
Now comes the most singular part OF
the story: Place the little animal
under the lid of the eye, and he springs
off, running all about and around the
ball apparently in search of anything
of a foreign nature, which, should he
find, he will seize and come out of the
eye, evidently satisfied with having
performed his duty.
Stranger still, the thing remains life
less in the pocket until immersed in a
little vinegar, whereupon it begins
jumping about, signifying it's willing
ness to work. Although the thing re-
sembles the half of an English pea,
there is nothing irritating about it in
the eve. Whites are made acquainted
with its use by the natives, who fre
quently get grains of sand in their eyes
while diving.-Pittsburgh Dispatch.

Hamlet as He was.

Amleth, as it was formerly written,
was prince of Jutland Medieval
writers, however, differ as to the exact
century in which he lived The best
authority on this subject, perhaps, Is
Saxo-Grammaticus, the Danish his
torian, according to whom Amleth lived
about 200 B. C. He was a son Of Hor-
vendii, himself prince Of Jutland, and
Gerutha, daughter of the king of what
is now Denmark. Amleth's father was
murdered by his owu brother, Fenzo,
who soon married the wife Of his vic.

"Dead certain. I've made a study of

If you find all girls the woman is really

who really manages things, although
she may be quiet little woman at

self-Identifrinc Onsnrinc.

There is negro woman living out in
the country near Waynesboro, Ga,
who has queer ideas as to the naming
of children. Instead of bestowing upon
them the Biblical names SO popular
with the Afro-American citizen, she has
developed a nomenclature from their
physical peculiarities. For instance,
one has very thick lips, and his name
is Lips; another has very big feet, and
he is called Foots; another is blessed
with pair of very bowed legs, and he
is known as Crooks. She gives as a
reason that as there are so many OF
them she could not remember the or
dinary names. but as they are, she has
only to look at them and she knows
what to call them.-Atlanta Constitu-

An Irish Fish story.

A veteran sportsman, with rod and
gun, who resides near Stewartstown,
County Tyrone, had novel experience
while fishing on the Tullywiggan. He
had occasion to cross to the opposite
bank over series of stepping stones
laid in the bed of the river. He stepped
off a boulder into the stream. The
river was low, but he fell fat into the
water, and was thoroughly drenched.
As the day was bitterly cold he had an
overcoat, and when he scrambled out
On the bank he found something flap
ping about in the inner breast pocket.
A search revealed a splendid three
pound trout. It was the only fish he
caught that day. Derry Journak
