a lady had issued invitations for a

one Of the twelve silver shells in which
scalloped oysters were to be served

the missing article having proved I'M

than give up that particular course,
she would simply decline oysters when

eleven shells would be sufficient.

An amusing story comes from India.
It concerns q distinguished officer who
was constantly embracing some new
hobby, much to the disgust of his
brother officers, and to the annoyance
of the soldiers on whom the hobbies
frequently involved extra duty. His
latest fad was amateur gardening. One
day he was strolling past the officers
quarters, when he saw a couple Of
soldiers busily rakiug a lot OF gravel
stones over a patch of earth.

Need for Sleep.

By far the most important compen-
sation for all effects of fatigue is
sleep. Everybody, even the man
mentally most inert, develops when
awake a mass Of mental effort which
he cannot afford continuously without
suffering. We need, therefore, regu-
larly recurring periods in which the
consumption of mental force shall DO
slower than tho continuous replace
ment. The lower the degree to
which the activity of the brain sinks
then the more rapid and more COM
plete the recovery.
The mental vigor of most men is
usually maintained at a certain height
for the longest time in the forenoon.
Evidences Of fatigue come on later al
this time of day than in the evening,
when the store Of force in our brain
has been already considerably drawn
upon by the whole days work. If no
recovery by sleep is enjoyed, or it is
imperfect, the Consequences Will ~
variably make themselves evident the
next day in a depression of mental
vigor as we'll as in a rise in the per-
sonal susceptibility to fatigne. The
rapidity with which one OF the persons
l experimental upon coulI perform
his tasks in ad lition sank about q
third after a nights journey 10y rail-
way with insufficient SLEEP. Another
experimenter could detect the effects
of keeping himself awake all night in
a gradual decrease of vigor lasting
through four days. This observation
was oil the more surprising because
the subject was not conscious of the
long duration of the disturbance, and
was first made aware of it incidentally

Cost of Wild animals.

The most costly of wild animals held
in captivity is the elephant. A fine
African elephant costs from Sc, 900 to
$1,000. A fine Indian elephant would
cost about So, 900.
Giraffes cost about the same as the
best elephants, about Sc, 900 or 81, 900.
but that quotation is really only nomi-
nal; it would be difficult to get a
giraffe at any price. This is due part
ly to their increasing scarcity and
partly to the difficulty of obtaining
them, due to the internal wars of the
natives in the giraffe country. Giraffes
very rarely breed in captivity.
A fine hippopotamus would prob.
ably cost about 50, 600.
A good African lion, with q full and
perfect name, would cost from 81, 900
to 81, 500 ; a fine lioness $500 or 5000.
! Good Bengal tigers cost about the
same.
Camels usually cost from $500 to
$500 apiece.
Many wild animals breed in captiv.
ity, and the supply OF wild animals is
now made up to some extent from that
source. In New York's m%enagerie in
Central Park, for example, a large
number of wild animals have been
born, some of them Of rare kinds and
great value. The same is true, in a
greater or less degree, of menageries
and of geological gardens in various
parts Of the world. 1t is customary
to sell or exchange the surplus ami
mails 50 born.
Wild animals in captivity may final.
~ cease to breed. Wild animals born
in captivity are not SO likely to be as
fine specimens as those born in a wild
state, and in succeeding generations
they degenerate aud become weaker
and more susceptible to disease. This
stock is improved by adding to it,
from time to time, wild animals from
their native homes.-New York Sun.

Anderton, Dell? He walked away as if

ooh, he got mad - said Dell, de-
lightfulIy vague, as was her wont.
"I:he mountain and the squirrel
had a quarrAi'" laughed Aunt Belle,
resuming her book without giving
further thought to tue matter.
She was quite accustomed to KICKS

not imagine that this was anything
more serious than usual.
But Rick did not come back that

What a fuss Rick made about moth

waited for an explanation, instead Of
starting off in such a huff"
Well, she was glad to get rid OF
him, and hoped it was for good and
all.
But for all that, Dell did not feel
quite happy. If only Rick were not
so inclined to misjudge her!
Glad news! jim Harper was COM

She made herself look very bewitch-

great, golden-hearted pansics at her
throat and in her belt.
She was ~radiantly happy. How nice
it would be to sec dear old Jim again!
After all, this world was a very glad

Kicks who tried to make it SO Il

There were not many passengers
bound for this sleepy village, but
among them was one dainty little
brunette, who threw herself raptur-

Rick stared in astonishment. He

And then she and her old school
