The foal when few days old can

takes nourishment in small quantities,
avoiding full meal. which would i'm
pede swift escape. In lying down no at

when he stands his head is held high.
These habits show that the animals

HOsier and HoOsier.

The Philistine tells of meeting a
woman at literary reception in Lon
don who said she had heard the Ameri-
can "hosier poet" read at Exeter hall
"How curious that hosier should be-
come your poet laureate in America!''
she said.
The Philistine did not know what
she meant, but followed the trail of her
chat until she said that her favorite
among the "hosier poets" poems was
"When the Frost Is on the Pumpkin, :"
and then he exclaimed that it was "Ri-
ley, the Hoosier poet.
"Oh, you Americans have such a
queer way of pronouncing things, said
the woman.
"Yes, but Mr.. Riley is not a hosier,
he isl began the Philistine.
But she cut the explanation short
with, "Oh, see! 1t is a joke, then.
You Americans are so funny. l suppose
you think Mr.. Riley is bluestocking,
and so you call him hosier."

The ScRllOp.

The scallop accomplishes locomotion
by a series of leaps. When it is alarmed,
or wishes to change it's location, it
opens and energetically closes it's
valves, thus expelling the water. The
reaction shoots it backward. By this
means the creature is able to travel long
distances. Sometimes scallops make
considerable journeys in large COM
panies. One can scarcely imagine {;
lovelier sight than that of a flock of
these pretty creatures, with shell of ev-
cry hue, from purple and white to black,
enlivened with shades Of pink, yellow
and fawn, darting about in clear water.
In their fiightlike movements, vertical,
horizontal and zigzag, they are more
suggestive of flock of winged animals
than of bivalve mollusks.

FEAR OF RAIN IN CUBA.
The EVIL Eject OF Water IL Not O Nero
Superstition There.

Tho EVIL Erect OF Water IL Not O Mere
Superstition There.
The average Cuban is dreadfully
afraid of rainwater. He believes that
drenching in rainstorm, followed by
exposure to the rays Of the sun, pro-
duces fever-not necessarily yellow fe-
yer, but an attack something similar to
what is known as swamp fever in Mis-
sissippi or chagres in the isthmus of
Panama
The same belief prevails in Central
and South America, but in a greater
degree. On both coast lines of Nicaragua
light shower is the signal for gen.
eral scampering indoors and a disin-
clination to come out again until the
sky is perfectly clear Up on the high
plateau on which the city of Caracas in
Venezuela is situated and where there
should be little or no fear OF fever the
natives are afraid to get even their
faces wet At the first appearance of q
rainstorm the cab drivers, Of whom
there are more than 400, put up oilcloth
screens in front of them and direct the
course of the horses through a couple Of
peepholes, avoiding even slight splash
in the face.
All strangers from northern ATTITUDES
visiting Caracas are advised that not
only is rain dangerous, but that it Is
not safe to take a bath within ten
days after their arrival. Men accustom-
ed to daily plunge find this advice
difficult to follow, especially in such
warm climate. Most of them disregard
it and find that 1t does them no harm.
and that it is superstition based upon
the laziness that follows residence In
an atmosphere so enervating that the
dogs are too tired to get out Of the way
Of the horse if the horse wasn't too
tired to step on them.
The Cuban fear of rain, however, is
based upon experience and is not mere
superstition.-New York Press.

One Of the greatest wonders of Java,
"the fire island" a large lake of boil
