How the Starfish Eats the OYSTER.

The starfish is a curious animal. Its
mouth is directly in the center, and al
most Immediately under it is the stom-
ach, while the digestive organs are in its
arms. Starfish eat oysters, but natural
lists differ as to the precise way in which
they devour them. Ancient naturalists
believed that the starfish waited for a
moment when the oyster opened its
valves to introduce one of its rays into
the opening, and having put one foot
into the domicile it soon put the other
four in and finished up by devouring
the native. Modern observations have
proved that this is not quite correct.
Some naturalists assert that. on OBJ
tanning possession Of the oyster, the star
fish brings his mouth 30 the edge of the
shell and then with the assistance Of a
fluid which its mouth secretes it forces
open the valves and the entrance is OBJ
tanned. Another naturalist gives a diff
ferent explanation Of the transaction,
namely, that the oyster Is seized by the
starfish and held tight by its mouth;
the starfish then everts its stomach and
~envelops the oyster, which forces it to
open its shell. However this may be, it
is clear that the starfish swallows oys-
ters in the same manne as human be-
ings.-London Tit-Bits.

The Inventors Dream of Fame.

Every inventor has some idea of dis
covering a great useful article, which
will benefit the whole human ace and

the best part Of the inventors life is
spent in vain efforts to accomplish this
great result. Such high aims ennoble
and dignity his work, and, though they
may never be realized, he has the salts
faction of knowing that others will come
after him to take up the work which he
has left unfinished.

Cruelty to HOLSTERS.

It is singular how the cruel practice
of boiling Holsters alive continues. Our
forefathers-and, indeed, our parents
let calves bleed slowly to death, on the
theory that in no other way could white
meat be secured, and later on calves
were bled one day and killed the next.
Now every one knows that a calf a be
killed in a humane n and the veal
made just as good. Hogs are largely
killed by electricity instead of by the
old barbarous method; and, generally
speaking, animals killed for food have
been put out of the way in a much more
humane manner than formerly. But
Holsters are still tortured out Of exist
ence, the only difference being that,
while formerly they were exclusively
boiled to death, now some are boiled
and some broiled. Which process causes
the most agony no n can say.-St.
Louis Globe Democrat.

The Broncho.

The genuine broncho pony is a Won
derful product Of our western prairies.
He is the great friend of the Indians and
the invaluable companion of the cow
boys, from whom he has received his
various descriptive terms of the kicking
broncho," the "bucking broncho" and the
stubborn broncho." These terms have
become so closely associated with the
pony that one can hardly imagine the
existence Of a broncho minus all Of these
negative virtues. Yet when kindly treat
ed they make staunch friends, and unless
provoked to it they will hold their bad
qualities in reserve until some stranger
comes near them.-New York Epoch.

lines; they made measurements to OBJ.

these paintings were finished it was

the man as the grain of sand to the

Graphic art was powerless before a

A Thought Measuring Machine.

DR.. J. K. McKatterell has constructed
an ingenious apparatus by which he can
determine, with a considerable degree
of accuracy, the time it takes to think,
and has experimental with many inter
esting results. He has shown that tc
see a piece of white paper and be con
scious of the fact takes one-twentieth OF
a second; to see a picture takes one-tenth
Of a second; to see a letter of common
print, one-eighth of a second; to see a
full word, one-seventh of a second; to be
able to judge between red and blue, one
thirteenth Of a second.
He has also proved that to see some
words and letters requires more time
than others. By this same machine,
with some added pieces Of mechanism,
the time Of remembering can also be &C
curately measured. According to the
learned M. D. and his curious little ma.
chine, it takes much less time to remem-
Der the name Of a familiar word than it
does the name of a letter, and we are

time than we can the word.

times the word has become very common

swells who frequently haven't th2 money II

ply say they are 'scrimping," and that
means hard pan economy, last season,
clothes saved over, cheap cigars-in fact,
cheap everything. Judge Fitch, in his pol
ished and elegant style, stated that scrimp-
ing was invading many of the most aristo-
cratic mansions of the city. Some years ago,
he asserted, a reception meant a sumptuous
spread and plenty of champagne. Now a
phantom lunch was offered consisting of a
thimble cup of bouillon too hot to drink, and
