shrink from the hand which tries to seize

constantly drawing in water through the
innumerable canals which form its diges-
tive organs, and having consumed the mi
mute animalcul@ in the fluid ejecting it
again through some other channel.

THE BUTTON BAG.

Of chamois skin, the top finished with
scallops, while below is casing in which
is run the drawing string. All about the
edges falls cut fringe of the chamois, deli
cately tinted with gold paint. In the cen,

are outlined in water colors and luster

A cretonne button bag is an antique look

Whether water wheel runs faster at

for the reason that the water is then cooler
and somewhat more dense than when
warmed by the sun.

should see 10 this. Surely their reckless
ingenuity IS equal to the discovery OF
some way of preventing people from
choosing their modes Of drowning.
