How this start,.n Eat. N. ov.,.r.

The starhshis n curious animal. Its
mouth Is directly In the center, and al.
most Immediately under 1t ia 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 staffsh waited for a
moment when the oyster opened its
valves to introduce one of It's 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 to the edge Of the
shell and then with the assistance of q
fluid which its mouth secretes 1t forces
open the valves and the entrance is OBJ
tanned. Another naturalist gives 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 1t to
open its shell. However this may be, it
Is clear that the starfish swallows oys-
ters in the same manner us human be-
ings. -London Tit-Bits.

oriental students in London.

The superior orientals in London are
almost exclusively from India, except
such as represent diplomacy; and they
include two classes--men of business and
students. The former are few, but rep.
resent very large commercial interests.
The latter number about 200. They
have their headquarters at the North.
brook club in Whitehall Gardens, OF
which the majority are members. The
practice of sending young Indians tc
study in England Is increasing. They
come from all parts of India and include
Mahommedans, Hindoos and Parsees.
The luxury of u European education Is
not to be had for nothing, and as mat
ter of course only men of means can In.
dulge in it.
These young fellows are, as rule, ex.
tremely intelligent, with charming man.
ners, and they speak English admirably
far better than most European for
eigners who have lived for many years in
England. They study law and medicine
In London; but some go to Coopers Hill
for the engineering service and others &c
Cirencester for agriculture. The English
universities, and Edinburgh also, have
their contingent. In nearly all cases
they go back to practice In India, but OF
late tendency to settle here has been
visible. The only other eastern country
which occasionally sends us u similar
class is Japan.--St. James Budget.

AS soon as q man comes into my shop
and takes off his shoe can tell whether
or not he is q good walker, and it is as.
tonishing to find how few men know the
proper way to step out. If the shoe is
worn down at the heel-not on the side,
but straight back-and the leather of the
sole shows signs Of weakness at the
ball of the foot, a little greater on the
inside just below the base of the great
toe, know that the wearer is a good
walker. III, however, the heel is turned
on one side, or is worn evenly through
out, and the sole is worn most near the
toe, l know that l have to deal with a
poor pedestrian.
The reason Of the difference in posi-
ton of the worn spots lies in the fact
that the poor walker walks from his
knee and the good one from his hip.
Watch the passerby on the street, and
you will at once see the difference Nine
men out of ten will bend the knee very
considerably In walking, stepping
straight out with both hips on the same
line, and the toe will be the first to
strike the ground. The tenth man will
bend his knee very little, just enough to
clear the ground, and will swing the leg
from the hip, very much as the arm is
swung from the shoulder and not from
the elbow. BY so doing he calls upon
the muscles which are strongest to bear
the strain, and increases the length of
his stride four or six inches.
The heel touches the ground first and
not the toe. A slight spring is given
from the ball Of the foot on making
another stride. Men who walk in this
fashion cover the ground 80 per cent.
faster with the same exertion than those
who walk from the knee. In pugilism
the old rule is to strike from the shout
der and not from the elbow. In pedes-
trianism it Is to walk from the hip and
not from the knee.--Interview in st.
Louis Globe democrat.

The value of n Racehorse.

Tho sum of e15,00O paid by Mr.. Blum.
dell Maple to Lord Abingdon and Sir f.
tombstone as the purchase money of
Commons the highest price ever paid in
England for horse. 1t is commonly re,
ported that the Duke of Westminster
received a larger sum for Ormonde from
South America, though el2, 900 was prob
ably nearer the price. Moreover, SignoI
Ginistrelli was offered 100000 for Sig.
norma, and the Duke of Portland still
higher price for Donovan, but in these
cases the offers were refused.
When the Duke of Westminster paid
e14,000 for Doncaster--the highest price
given In England for n race horse before
Common was sold-people were almost
shocked at his temerity and extrava-
gance, and yet it has been calculated
that the duke made u net profit of e160
900 out Of the transaction.
Sires of known merit such as st.
Simon. Hermit and Isonomy are gold
