which, after having exhibited to mum.

Its home is In the deep water, and II
the story told by the Chinaman who
procured 1t, namely, that the catch was
made in comparatively shallow water
just outside Of the harbor, 1t Is to be
depended on, the occurrence is indeed
unusual.
1t is about three inches in length, and
when alive was of a bright yellow hue
with spots Of black here and there. Its
mouth is quite large, and the part Of
the body nearest is correspondingly
large. 1t then tapers off to small tall.
But the peculiar part is that there are
no gills or what are popularly known
as such. Where these should be the
skin is just as 1t is all over the body.
At distance of about half an inch and
protruding from the belly near the cen
tral part are what might be called arms
or legs. They are jointed and have
some ten very fne claws. These, to
gether with another pair further an.

walk about with on the bottom of the
Jar In which 1t was contained.

approached, and gave every sign Of be.

teen years of age performed an act re-
quiring rare force of will and charac.
ter In the South Seas recently. His
name Is William Shotton, and he IL
the son of an English sailor.
The Trafalgar, his ship, four mast
ed bark of LOO tons, sailed from Ba'
tavia, with a cargo of petroleum for
Melbourne, Australia
Fever broke out among the crew even
before the ship left port, and Captain
Edgar was invalid. The command de-
volved upon the next In authority. Mr..
Roberts. But scarcely had the ship
weighed anchor, when he, too, was
stricken, together with several other
able bodied members of the crew. The
ship carpenter next succumbed to the
fever, and on the same day Officer
Roberts leaped overheard in delirium-
The entire charge of the ship there
upon devolved upon Shotton. Luckily
for all concerned, he was born of
race of sailors and had received some
instruction In navigation.
For time the winds were moderate,
but the fever still pursued its dead
course, and on Dec. the cook died, the
sixth victim of the disease. Port Rairy,
Australia, was the first place sighted
for mainland, but this was by no means
the end of the boy captains troubles.
A few days later a fearful storm broke
out, and Shotton was Of the opinion that
nothing could be done but run before it,
since TO attempt to withstand it would
almost certainly mean destruction in
the weakened state OF the crew. All OF
the crew who were half fit for duty
we're ordered on deck and the neces-
sary steps were taken to put the ship
in order 70 carry out the decision. Day
and night the young captain was on the.
bridge giving his orders amid the aw-
full tempest with a coolness and calm
ness which would have moved many a
gray-haired skipper to envy. Finally
the wind moderated and the vessel was
able to resume its journey to the Vic,
toria coast. 49,

Polly PutofT.
Her name was Polly Putnam. but
everybody called her Polly Putoff. OF
course. you can guess how she came
to have such q name. 1t was because
she put of doing everything as long as
she could.
"Oh! you can depend on Polly for one
thing" Uncle VIII would say. You
can depend on her putting of every
thing, but that Is all you can depend
on" And 1 am sorry to say he spoke
the truth.
"Polly, Polly" mother would say IN
despair, '@how shall l ever break you
Of this dreadful habit?"
1t was just three days to Polly's birth
day, and she had been wondering very
much what her mother and father In
tended to give her. She thought a mu-
sic box would be about the best thing,
but she was almost afraid to hope for
that. A man who went about selling
them had brought some to the nouse.
and Polly had gone wild with delight
over their beautiful musical tinkle.

"Yes. mother answered Polly, put
ting the letter in her pocket.
AS she reached the school house she
saw the girls playing and she stopped
.just for a moment" Then the bel
rang, so she could not post the letter
then. She looked at the address. 1t
was directed to a man in the next town.

The man to whom the letter is direct
