Natural Causes Of Lying.

Nothing Is more common than to find
children, with an evidently rudimentary
conception of truth, who willfully and Of
ten for no reason make exaggerated or false
statements, who seem really to deceive
themselves as well as others, who make
their relatives miserable by threatened lack
OF responsibility, which, spreading out in
many ways, points to an unhappy or dis
graceful life.
This fear is SO common that the major
ity of people, fancy, have felt it more or
less. 1t is so natural to regard truth as
the foundation of our whole moral struc-
ture, to look upon it as the loveliest prod
uct of fine character, that any deviation
from 1t must necessarily be held as most
unfortunate. l should be similarly i'm
pressed if 1 did not feel certain that the
fear is often wrongly placed, that this ha-
bitual telling of falsehood has its origin.
not in viciousncss or a spontaneous desire
to deceive but rather in causes for which
the person is not entirely responsible.

Sharkskins as Sandpaper,

A carpenter who was at work in the
New York aquarium at Castle Garden,
and knew a thing or two about fishes, took
the skin of IL dogfish which had died, dried
it and used it as saudpapcr. The dogfish
is of the same order as the shark, whose
skin is often used as sandpaper. Shark
skin sandpapcr is fine and uniform 1t
doesn't scratch, and 1t is lasting The
gritty points are really modified scales.
Fishermen use sharkskin us sandpapcr, and
some is sold for that use, not so much,
however, in this country as in Europe.
When sold, it is used principally on fine
cabinet work.
In this country sharks are utilized chief
ly for their oil and for the manufacture of
fertilizers. An oil that is used for lubri-
eating purposes is taken from the sharks
liver, the rest of the shark excepting such
skins as there may be other demand for,
being worked up into fertilizer. In Europe
the shark is caught chiefly for its oil and
skin. A handsome leather called shagreen
is made from sharkskin, and this is used
for making purses cardcascs and orna-
mental boxes Shagrcen Is more used in
Europe than here. Many small sharks are
eaten in Europe In Mediterranean cities

Ind lined up in front OF the French plate

bromides and bitters and powerful drugs
of various descriptions decorate the side
boards All of these enter into the daily
consumption Of those who more and more
often seek the saloon rather than the drug

bar is very big and growing business
