KEEPING HOUSE IN A STOMACH.
That Is What the White Shrimp Does
When He Hunts Up the jelly Fish.

Boston Globe.
If a boat is anchored in a channel when
the tide is running fast during calm sum-
mer weather, multitudes of jelly fish may
sometimes be seen floating along just below
the surface. Some are no bigger than tea
cups, and others are the size of a large
basin, and they all have some curious mark
ings on the top, and move by contracting
and exPan nan z the Lower xit, parts thd OF their tehr
fingers usually perforate its jelly-like struc-
ture. and If 1t is placed on a board the
creature seems to run away in the form of
water.
Now a great many of the larger kinds,
when carefully examined, are found TO have
within their large stomachs a small white
shrimp with most beautiful emerald-colored
eyes. II was supposed that these shrimps
formed the food of the jelly fish or medusae,
vestigation proved that these lively little
creatures with the beautiful eyes only exist
in the larger medusae. and that they make
the stomach of these wandering masses of
animal jelly their home and larder.
The shrimp soon dies If IL is taken from
It's shelter, and specimens of it are never
found swimming with the common shrimps
which live in the sea. The shrimp lives at
the expense of the jelly fish. and feeds upon
tangled by the peculiar structure of its
mouth.
The jellyfsh floats along collecting food,
and killing every small living thing that
touches its singing body. while the shrimp
enjoys itself and lives inside out of danger,
and in great comfort. The shrimp is never

full sharp stings of the medusa.
Now the most wonderful part of this sing
ular history Is now the jellyfiSh and the
shrimp come together. There are no jelly
fish in the winter and early spring, and the
whole of them die in the autumn. Before
dying the shrimp leaves the stomach of the
Jellyfsh and lays its eggs at the bottom OF
the shallow sea.
The jellyish lays thousands of tiny eggs,
which, being covered with small. movable
hairs, row themselves into quiet, rocky
hooks on the coast and settle down. These
eggs become adherent to pieces of shell or
stone, and do not turn to jellyfishes any
more than a butterfiy's egg turns to a but
terly. A stem springs from them, and
branches arise from 1t all covered with tiny
cups. whose rims are crowded with small
arms called tentacles. This is the first stage
OF the jellyfish's life.
Now the shrimp's egg matches about the
same time as the stem just mentioned be-
gins to grow. and the young shrimp Is not
at all like the old one; it has a big head. a
small body and very long legs. AS the
warm weather comes on, the stem with its
branches and cuplike ends begins to bud,
and after a while out of the buds spring
living jellyfish, which soon swim off. About
this time the young shrimp casts its skin
and grows into the form Of the old one.
and 1t invariably seeks shelter in the stUm-
ach of the first young iellyfsh it comes
across in its swimming TO and fro.

During the day every one should take a

seem too precious for one in business. but it
will be more than compensated for by the

CHAPTER II.
l,1NE IN A MOMENT.

When Mary Hamilton found that her
mother had slipped into utter uncon-
sciousness, she ran to their nearest
neighbors and begged them to come in
and aid her So her mother was with
no little diff: Guilty lifted from the ground
and carried up to her bedroom, and a
doctor was quickly sent for. His fiat
was given without the smallest hesita-
tion. "It's 1 stroke, he said, "but it
might have been much worse; for in
stance, if it had been on the other side
it would pre- badly have proved fatal al
most Immediately. AS it is, with care,
your mother will probably recover and
be quite or very nearly herself again. "
With care! Mary Hamilton's heart
went down To zero as she heard the two
/, little simple words which give hope to
some anxious watchers of the sick, but
which open cut endless possibilities OF
unattainable needs to those who are
poorly placed in the world. In her case
it meant having an experienced person
to tend her mother by day and night
alike, for, be the circumstances cf life

Just the same With the best intentions
in the world she could not be in two

1t was terrible question to answer.
At this point the advantages of the
alliance which the sick woman had been
pressing upon her daughter came promi-
nently into view. During the course Of
the evening Captain Conway arrived.
eager and anxious as to his answer,
only to be met with the mournful news
that Mrs. Hamilton had been seized
with a paralytic stroke and was still
unconscious. His first words were q

sand years. He was quick to learn that
he would never be the master to teach
this particular pupil to conjugate the
verb to love, and the knowledge, coming
upon his passionate love and admiration
for her. was as oil poured upon fierce
fame.
How can I describe those few weeks
which passed between the marriage and
Captain Conway's first departure on a
voyage to the other side Of the world
They were hideousl Mary, who had
been awakened also, was possessed Of
only one desire-to hide the truth from
the mother for whose sake she had sold
herself. to hide from her the knowledge
which had come to her all too surely
that the genial, bluff, jovial sailor, with
his frank, hearty ways and his open
handed generosity, was in reality of a
coarse and calculating nature, which
had taken count of every farthing that
he had expended and who looked to
have payment and interest for every
single coin, to hide from her that his
geniality too often meant drink, and
that his frank bluffness was merely the
cover for indicative and passionate
temper; to hide from her, in short, all
that he really and truly was.
1t was not until within few days
of the time fixed for the sailing of Cap
tain Conway's ship that there was ac-
tually any open disagreement between
them, and even then the full measure
of her humiliation and misery came
upon her like thunderclap. 1t happen
ed that Captain Conway had been ex-
planning to her how she must manage
about money during his absence. "The
rent is paid" he said. "And you can
draw e1O a week, which ought to cover
the bare expenses. If you fall short at
the end of the month when the wages
are due Are you listening, Mary p
he broke off in voice Of thunder.
"Yes, Edward, of course I am listen

"Then what do you want to look like
that for9 Do you want to make me

The girls first instinct was to start
to her feet. Her fingers almost without
her own will clinched themselves to.
