In the South Pacific is found a giant
clam-like fish with huge ribs, called
the tridacna. So solid are the shells
that they can almost cut mans
hand off, crushing the bones, and as
the tridacna has the habit of lying
with its valves partly open, as though
to trap some unwary traveller, it has
earned an unsavory reputation and is
considered an animal to be avoided
unless means are at hand to render it
harmless.
Not long ago an American was in
swimming, when the edges of the
shell of tridacna closed on his foot.
There was apparently no possible
chance to escape. He had about de-
termined upon a terrible alternative
to cut off his foot to save his life,
when the shell visibly relaxed its
hold and, with a quick jerk, he pulled
out the manned and helpless member
and turned in shore. Chicago Jour-

There is a new Office building down
town which might be advertised as
furnishing all the comforts of home
and some of the amusements of the
circus. The ceilings of its broad cor
ridors are made Of large mirrors and
the pedestrian has the pleasure of see
ing himself in reflection walking fly
fashion along the ceiling. 1t is the
hardest on the employees who scrub
the floors. They have bucket full
of water upside down above them
all the time. 1t is useless to try to
pass through that hall without look
ing up. In some respects it is as
good rs a trip to sea. Possibly ten
ants in that building will learn to
walk on their hands, and then at
least they will be feet down n the
ceiling and ready for any penalty the
laws OF gravity may inhict. -NewYork

A very fascinating doll may be
scooped out of large and small
orange with penknife.
The small orange is to be his head.
With the penknife carefully take out
part of the peel so as to form eyes,
nose and mouth. Make the eyes
small and the nose flat and broad and
be sure to give the doll a good big
mouth If you like, you can turn the
peel back a little for lips, or you can
take it all out and leave only an open
space and some teeth.
Turn up a little of the peel on each
side of the head, and the little man
will have very good pair of ears.
Now take the large orange and di-
vide it into two parts. You can
separate an orange so that the juice
will not run by cutting the peel first
and then tearing the inside apart.
Take all the pulp ont of one half and
turn the peel up neatly all round to
make stylish little hat. As the doll
is bald, you must excuse his wearing
a hat in the house.
Now turn the other half of the large
orange on its fiat side to form the
body. Cut off slice from the upper
part of the body, also from the lower
part of the head, SO that the head may
rest on the body, or they might be
joined together by running a piece of
wire from the head into the body.
You can take ont some of the white
lining in the hat to make "com-
forter" or scarf for him to wear around
his neck. The orange is now ready
for play, and he will look very cheer
full and happy, Trenton IN. J.)

Hanover is to establish a series of
lectures and demonstrations for the
instruction of artisans and apprentices
in all trades, and II they are found sue
cessful they will be instituted through
out the empire. There are to be model
workshops, and exhibitions of tools and
machinery, together with instruction
in bookkeeping and In making esti-
mates. The first course of lectures will
be to cabinetmakers, locksmiths, shoe
makers and tailors, other trades being
taken up one after another, the inten-
ton being that higher instruction in all

A Calcutta newspaper, just received,
contains an interesting account of the
workhouse or asylum for aged and in
firm beasts and birds, which was es-
tablished some thirteen years ago by
a society of influential Hindoos. 1t is
near the Sodepur Station, about ten
miles from Calcutta, and is under the
control of a manager, with a staff of
eighty servants and an experienced
veterinary surgeon. In this place at
present there are 979 animal paupers
-129 bulls, 307 cows, III calves, 70
horses, IA water buffaloes, 60 sheep,
Is goats. 141 pigeons, A cocks and
hens, four cats, three monkeys and
five dogs. The asylum is described
as being systematically and mercifully
managed The cows have especially
good time of it, inasmuch as, on
festal occasions, natives go from far
and near to decorate and worship
them.
The mysterious lower world of ami
NAL life is regarded in India with more
reverence and kindness than among
Christian people. The one great fact
of abstinence from flesh food produces
an extraordinary effect among Hindoo
communities.
A newly arrived European walking
in Poona or Baroda OF Nassick, or any
such Brahmanic capital, would mark
with wonder how the lower creatures
have understood and acted upon this
tacit compact of peace. In the densest
portions of the towns the monkeys sit
and chatter on the roof ridges, the
striped squirrels race up and down
the shop poles, the green parrots fl.
screaming about the streets, the doves
perch and coo and nest everywhere
the flying foxes hang over the mos
frequeuted wells and tanks, the mon
goose scurries in and ont of the gar
den gates, the kites and crows fire
quent the market places, jungle dove
and birds OF all sorts forage boldly TO
food, and Mt night even the iackal
steal impudently down into the sub
urbs. New York Mail and Express

Simple Ways of Fire Making.

The boy or girl brought up in
familiarity with safety matches, cleo
trio lighting, etc.. will smile the smile
of superiority when he reads in St.
Nicholas, II. J.. Jerome's description
of the methods or ancestors en-
ployed for lighting a fire, and that
many OF our unciyiized contempor-
aries still employ.
Fire-making by saving, he says,
was perhaps suggested to the Malays
by nature. 1t is said that jungle fires
are often started by the rubbing of
the bamboo stocks together in high
wind storms. "The creaking of the
bamboo is indescribable the noise Of
the rasping and grinding of the horny
stems is almost uncomfortable" during
these storms, say travellers.
However the metho may have been
suggested to them, it is a very simple
one. A piece OF bamboo having a
sharp edge rubbed across rounded
piece i'll which a notch has been cut.
The Malay saws across until the hoI-
low convex piece is pierced The
heated PARTICLES fall below aud ignite.
Some Malays "have improved on this
by striking n piece of china, finder
being held with il, against the outside
OF piece of bambo', the silicious
coating Of the latter vel ling spark,

Cupid In tho Choir Loft.

Musical and social circles in Spring
field. Mass. are agog over the marriage
in Fargo, n. D., Of William P. Spell
man. who has been director of severa
church choirs, and Miss Harriet Alden
organist in the same choirs. Spellmar
got a divorce in Fargo. His former
wife, the daughter of Belchertowr
farmer, is frail little woman with E
placid disposition, and the Dakota di
vorce was obtained on the grounds o.
her cruelty. Three years ago Spell
man made the acquaintance of Miss
Alden, a popular organist and com
poser. In 1897 he directed the music
in the fashionable st. Pauls Universal
list church. where Miss Alden was the
organist. Spellman and Miss Alden
were in each others company so much
that the tongues of the gossips began
to wag. Spellman and his wife sep
arated last summer and she brought
suit for non support. Spellman started
for Dakota before the papers could be
served. Miss Alden went to Fargo
last week. 1t is reported they will re
turn to Springfield.

SILT DANCING.
The Chinese Celebrate Feitich WORSHIP
with OuadriIles on Clothes Props.


The Chinese, in the interior dis
tricts, where fetichism is still the pre-
vailing religion, celebrate all their fes-
tival days by dancing on stills. The
entire population, from the child just
able to toddle to the gray-haired gram
father. mount on long poles and parade
around the town, shouting, singing
and throwing flowers. No one can be
excused, as the unbelievers are merci-
lessly punished. Some French and
English tourists recently came upon a
crowd of this kind near the village Of
Newchwang, in the extreme south
western portion of the empire. Their
arrival was unexpected by the Orien-
tails, who took it as very rude on the
part of the Europeans to intrude on
such a holy day. A turbulent mob OF
perhaps 500 rushed on the Cauca5ians,
who numbered but score, to do them
mischief. 1t was impossible to dlstin-
guish sexes, as all wore rude masks
made Of straw mats. So the travellers
quietly knocked the sticks from I'M
der a few dozen of the foremost, and,
bouncing on them as they pumped to
the ground, administered sound
beating. The rest finally made off
Had the Celestials been on foot, the
affair might have resulted seriously
AS it was, by the time the majority
could get their feet united from the
awkward stills. the unsanctified in
truders were far away.

Delightfully."- in balmy morn,
When dawn proclaims the coming uay,
When softly waves the infant corn,
The robin sings his joyful lay;
And this is what he seems to say:
"Awakel Awake
The dawn is on the lake,
Awakel'
When slowly fades the starry night,
And rudy CLOVIS the orient,
Low in the east the orb Of light
Sends forth its beams magnificent
And sings the robin eloquent:
Awake! Awake!
The sun beams DER the lake;
Awaken
The brooklet maunders in the vale,
And in the meadow huns the bee,
The squirrel skips along the rail;
On swaying Dough, high In the tree,
The robin sits and trills with glee;
'Be glad Be glad!
'Tis useless to be sad;
Be glad"
And when the summers sun is low,
When shadows gather in the-glen,
When cool the evening zephrys blow,
When sparrows chat, when chirps the wren
The robins song is heard again:
Good night Good night
And may your dreams be light;
Good night

Long hours they passed thus in the
darkness, with the wind blowing a
gale and the snow driving flercely
through the crevices of their rude

to pieces and leave them in the icy
water to perish. They were hungry,
