ion that officers of staff corps in the

A Touch of Blnrner.

Nobody can pay a prettier compli.
ment than the Irishman, when he
chooses. His tongue and wit are never
nimbler than when he employs them
in the service of "blarney.''
A young professor from Dublin was
entertained over night by an American
professor at his summer home on the
coast of Maine.
At breakfast the next morning, the
little daughter of the house, who sat
next the young 1rishman, saw with
amazement that he put no sugar in
his tea.
Wouldn't you like even one lump of
sugar in your tea?' she asked. solicit
ously. My papa likes three lumps''
Since you have looked into the cun
my little, maid, the tea is quite sweet
enough. responded the young profes.
sor, CALAMITY.

COME QUEER FRIENDSHIPS
Different Animals That Get Along VeF9
Well with Each other.


An intimate connection subsisune
between different animals Is knoMn
as commensalism, commesdls pein7
creatures which may be SAID 10 SIT az
the same table, but which 90 nor Pie5
upon one another. OF late years Ia ~
uralists. have become acquainted VIZ
numerous examples Of this IoIlh "
animal partnership. In one Oh .ne
Chicken Islands, off the coast Oh new
Zealand, a curious lizard, Known as
the tuatura, and certain species Oh tne
petrels were found inhabiting Tue
same burrows, apparently on the oes'
of terms. In rare cases the burfoW'
which consists of a passage TWO VI
three feet long, one foot broad anu SIX
inches high, is the work OF the OiFu'
AS a rule, however, the lizard is the
excavator. Each builds its nest on
opposite sides of the chamber, the
lizard almost invariably choosing tue
left and the petrol the right side. Inc
lizard feeds partly on worms ana pee
ties and partly on the remnants OF
fishes brought to their common ldpIe
by the petrol, both animals belhg mus
benefited by the partnership. rms Is
nrohahly more than can be said OF the
prairie dog, whose underground home
is frequently shared by the rattle
snake and the burrowing owl These
were at one time supposed TO form q
..happy family" but considerable
doubt has been cast on the point by
the discovery of young prairie dogs ID
the stomach of the rattlesnake. which
seems to indicate that commensallsm
in this particular case has been one
sided affair, so far as the benefits
We're concerned.
1t is among marine animals, how
ever. that the most striking examples
of commensaIism have been observed.
A feeble fish called the remora owes
its success in life 10 the powerful alll-
ances it forms. One of its fins have
been transformed into a sucker placed
right on top of its head, by means of
which it attaches itself firmly to any
passing shark. whale, or even ship, no
doubt mistaking the latter fer some
huge sea monster. By these it is
transported without any exertion on
its own part over great distances,
meanwhile picking up such food as
may come in its way.
Several small fishes have been found
also to habitually lodge in the mouth
cavity of Brazilian catfish, sharing
such food as the latter succeeds in
capturing.
Other instances might be given,
such as that of the little pea crab,
found in mussels and other bivalye
shells, which. in return for the pro-
lection given them by the malluocan
shell, gives its host a share of the food
1t captures.

Howard *. Brown Of Syracuse, n.

yarns about a fellow trooper who
suffered very badly.
One night while in the mountainous
district it was very cold. This trooper

asking if anyone knew where they

Again he lost his carbine. He hunt
ed high and low for it, but could not
find it. He put in his application for
new one, but could not get it in time
for the inspection that followed
When the troop lined up he was the
only one who had ne carbine The

him, making up his mind TO make an
example of him, thinking that he had
been too late to catch up his gun.
