Coral Animals Famed.

VI know that coral animals can be
tanned, for have had considerable ex-
periencc with them," said George Ban
croft, of Tallahassee.
MIR. Bancroft has spent several wears
OF his life among the coral reefs Off the
coast of Florida and Key West, and has
made study of the work of tho LITTLE
coral animal. The traveller has fine
collection of coral with him, and about
each piece has something interesting to
relate.
~ believe an the first person, how
ever, who ever tanned the polyps," con-
tinued MIR. Bancroft, rs he took n fine
specimen from his pocket. "That piece
found on reef in Florida, and as
was anxious to notice how fast the coral
grows placed it In the water where I
could visit it every week and note the
change. had no idea the coral animal
would become used to my coming, but
one day after about the tenth visit I
noticed the polyps darting into their
cells. After several more visits some of
the little fellows became SO bold as to
remain on the outside, and finally thew
became so well acquainted with Inc they
would remain in sight. have stood bv
the side OF that four-inch-square speci-
men for hours examining the thousands
of animals on it.
Scientific men claim that the coral
grows slowly, not more than an inch in
100 years, but l have proved that the
scientific people don't know what they
are talking about, for the piece contain
ing my coral pets in six morths grew Mt
least an inch. 1t is rather hard to de-
scribe how the animal works. The little
fellow is a mere sack containing a
stomach. 1t is a compound animal, and
increases by gemmation, young polyps
springing from the original polyp,
sometimes indiiferently from any part of
its surface. The upper surface is decked
out with tentacles and the body is
separated by number of partitions that
extend from the stomach to the outer
skin. Between these walls of flesh the
carbonate of lime is deposited and in
that way the coral grows"
MIR. Bancroft has many specimens OF
coral with him. One kind he calls the
pepper coral. When touched with the
tongue it will cause tears to run from
the eyes of the owner of the tongue. It is
worse than red pepper. The coral, the
traveller says, is not sought for as it was
years ago.
"Coral ornaments are not popular at
present, said Mr.. Bancroft" and until
there is craze for them the trade will
not be extensive. ~ Chicago Tribune.

b1aklnr Ch,,aron M,n,

A mother should be careful to make
only reasonable demands upon her
child's obedience, but, when once made,
to enforce them implicitly. One should
be very careful never to enter into a
contest over point that cannot be en-
forced. A child may be made to do
certain things, but no power on earth
can force him to do others, or to say
words that he has made up his mind not
to say. The prudent mother will en-:
force her authority and teach obedience
on ground that she is sure of being able
to hold. Points that she knows she
sannot carry she will avoid until the
habit of obedience is formed, and then
there will be no discussion.-Lad

from the forest, and with them was a

his long tramps. De Brazzs approached
the natives and asked them for food.

any food here. We have one white man
here already. You had better go on

The explorer said nothing. He SIM

their loads in the middle of the village.
Then one of his men unpacked the
astronomical and other instruments, and
the explorer set about making observa-
tions for position and altitude. The
strangest sight the natives ever saw was

and figuring away on bit of paper.
They concluded that he was not per.

a Plunge For Il Mud Turtle.

Everybody knows Wash McGec, of Bel
ton, S. G. 'He is long, keen good one,"
and as eminently adapted to his new oc-
cupation, as to the one so long followed as
s'nine host at tho little town which he
has helped to build up.
lie has fish pond near the suburbs Of
the city, and of late the fish-loving turtle
has put in his appearance, and Wash has
a novel way of taking him in. Standing
upon trestle work some four feet above
the water, the writer of this squib loeheld
him on Monday evening perform feat
which would have done credit to the most
renowned of John Robinson's trained
acrobats. 1t was evident to any one look
ing into his usually placid face, that no
had blood in his Dyes, and that he was
mud turtle thirsty. Drawing himself up
the full height of his magnificent proper
tions, he plunged into the placid lake and
disappeared beneath its blue waters, the
writer thought, to capture the pestiferous
turtle but Wash said, after he regained
his position on the trestle, with his clothes
and slouch hat soaking with water, that
he only "iell in" but l am pretty certain
that ho "dove" down for that big logger
head he had been batting and trying to
catch.
When the writer reached the town and
told of this excentricty and requested dry
apparel sent to him, all were surprised to
SEQ him coming post haste on his Texas
pony, with tho water yet dripping from
his long pendant legs, and boots full to
the top, slushing and sloshing as he
pulled for private quarters to don dry
clothes. Moral-Dont try to walk over

A EOI(I Robbery,

1t is not often that Anderson County is
the scene Of Il moro daring robbery than
that committed at Denver, a small station
on the Blue Ridge Railroad about seven
miles above Anderson, last Friday night.
There is only ono store at Denver, and
that is owned and conducted by Mr.. s. l..
EskeW, who is also the postmaster. Mr..
Eskew's son, Eugene, about IL years of
aye, clerks in the store. On Friday even
ing, about 9 o'clock, Eugene closed the
store and walked over to the warehouse,
near by, to SEQ if he had locked the door.
AS he was returning from tho warehouse
white man, who was standing near the
store door, called him anu told him he
wanted to buy Il pair Of shoes and asked
him to open the store Eugene, Of course
back door, which lie unlocked, and came
on through tie store and opened the front
door. The man then came in with 8
handkerchief tied over his face, and, pre-
senting large 33S.calibre Smith Il Wesson
pistol at the boy, demanded that he turn
over to him all tho money in the drawer.
Eugene opened the drawer and handed out
two little bags containing between fifteen
and twenty dollars in ) and 1U.cent pieces.
The robber then ordered Eugene to open
the safe. Eugene explained TO him that
the safe WAS locked by combination lock
and that he could not open it. The robbor
then went into the poslollicc department
and searched tho money drawer there, but
secured nothing. He tllen searched the
drawer from which Eugene had given him
the money but finding nothing, went on
to the front door. Before going out the
robbor asked Eugene if ho knew him or
had over seen him before. The latter ro.
piled in the negative. Tho robber then
told him not to come out of the store for
some limo; that il ho did lie would shoot
| him. With this threat the scoundrol DE-
parted. Tho frightened boy waited q fcw
minutes, and, going to tho back door, blew
small whistle three times, Which was Il
signal that called his father to The store
when any person wanted him. Mr.. Is.
kew came ut once, and in few seconds
Eugene had related to him villa: had hap
penc.l. The moon was shining bright and
Mr.. Eskew looked around tho premises
carefully, bui.did not see any one.
Eugene described the appearance Of The
man, and told his father that he recognized
tho robber lis the same man WHO had spent
an afternoon around tho storo q few days
preceding. Next day Mr.. lIskew made
inquiry about this individual and learned
that llo had buen seen by gentleman in
tie ncighborhoud on the cronng of the
robbery. From this and other information
which he gathered, Mr.. Eskcw was salts
tied that his sol had recognized the rob
ber.
On Monday Mr.. Eskow came to the city
| and swOrc out Il warrant for tho arrest ol
john N1oorhcad alias John Pittman,
charging hin With tue robbery, carrying
