many years the cause of the apparent
decrease in brook trout. Recently |

Gated trout i'm its mouth. The action
OF the snake interested me, and, stand

ION the end of the snakes tail was a
sharp bony growth shaped like a hook.
After few moments my watching
was rewarded by seeing the snake
glide over To some bushes growing
along the bank and catch n grasshop-
per in its mouth. The snake then
placed the grasshopper carefully on
the hooklke thing on the end of its
tail.
BY this time my curiosity was thor
oughly aroused" continued the fisher
man. THE snake crawled up on log
that extended from the bank into the
brook and let its tail hang into the wa
ter. In moment up came n trout
and snapped at the grasshopper 1t
was short work for the snake to trans
fer the fish from its tail to its mouth,
and had solved the problem of the ex-
termination of brook trout."-Cleve-

Miss prOcfor's Mistake

Miss Mary Proctor. the astronomer

poor children and adults. Generally
her lectures are well received. Now
and then there are exceptions. On one
occasion a bright eyed little boy. who
sat In the front row with his eyes
fixed upon the speaker, was asked how
he liked it, Il guess" he said. lit was
pretty good. but she ought to talk
about lions and tigers. That's better
for everybody"
AT another lecture a youngster crit
icised her as follows: Its all very well
to talk of weighing and measuring
stars. There are some people. of course,
who believe that sort of thing. but If
she thinks she can fool us boys with
such fairy tales she's very much mis-
taken"

1t must be hard for the untraveled
Anglo-Saxon to grasp the idea that a

his lines in public cafe before n mix

quickly realize that the Latin temper
ament can throw a grace and childish
abandon around an act that would
cause an Englishman or an American
to appear supremacy ridiculous. Ones
taste or sense Of fitness is never shock

the world to be sitting there with your
glass Of beer before you while some

This was unsatisfactory, and finally

COnsumptiOn.

Pulmonary tuberculosis is not con
tagious, but only a communicable dis
ease. The contact per Sc Of the con
sumptive individual does not convey
the disease. 1t is now well known that
1t Is mainly the tuberculosis eXpectora-
tion, which, when dried and pulverized
TO dust, constitutes the main danger of
Infection. The means To- prevent infec-
ton from tuberculosis eXpectoration or
-eXpectorating only in proper
vessels, spittoons and pocket TASKS,
proper use of handkerchiefs during
coughing, etc.-are now also UNIVERSAL
ly taught.
1t is absolutely demonstrated that a
tuberculosis patient if he takes proper
care of his eXpectoration, does not con-
stitute any danger to his fellow men.
In sanatoria and hospitals exclusively
devoted TO the care of consumptives il
Is OF the rarest occurrence for an at
tendant to contract the disease. the
hygienic precautions being so thor
ough. 1t may indeed be said that In
these houses for consumptives one is
less liable to contract consumption than
outside of them.-Dr s. A. Knopf in

A Louisville girl who was recently in

in the same house with her for two
months. studying German for his pro-

the usual absurd ideas about the girls

the untraveled foreigner are rather
hoyden creatures. who smoke and have
other masculine traits.

Not suspecting the joke she was play

and filed 1t. and it was not until he
saw the wry faces his friend made in
attempting to carry out the joke that
he appreciated the situation. He was
continually telling the American in a
tone of surprise that she was just like

When Mr.. Munkittricz had arrived,

Then the staff sat and held their
