One night when the Earl of Stanhope
was walking alone in the Kentish lanes
a man jumped out of the hedge, leveled
a pistol and demanded his purse.
''My good man, | have no money with
me-" said Lord Stanhope in his remark
ably slow tones. The robber laid hands
on his watch.
"No," Lord Stanhope went on, that
watch you must not have. 1t was CIV
en- to me by one l love. 1t is worth
f100. If you will trust me, l will go
back to Chevening and bring f100
note and place it in the hollow of that
tree. cannot lose my watch"
The man did trust him. The earl did
bring the note. Years after Lord Stan
hope was at a city dinner, and next to
him sat London alderman of great
wealth, a man widely respected. He
and the earl talked of many things and
found each other mutually entertain
ing. Next day Lord Stanhope received
a letter, out of which dropped a f100
note. sit was your lordship's kind loan
of this sum-" said the note, "that start
ed me in life and enabled me to have
the honor Of sitting next to your lord
ship at dinner" A strange story; but
the Stanhopes are strange race, and
things happen to them that never did
or could occur to other people.

Crabs In Disguise.

Human beings are not the only crea-
lures that have discovered the ap-
petizing, though indigestible, qualities
Of crabs, and some of these animals
have been compelled to resort to vari-
GUS defensive measures. Disguise Is
one of these and is practiced with
great effect by spider crabs.
These deliberately bite up seaweeds
and plant them on their backs, very
soon establishing growth which har-
monies perfectly with the surround
ings and deceives many an enemy.
Should the weeds grow too vigorously,
the crab industriously prunes them
with his claws and every now and then
scrapes the whole lot off and starts
fresh garden on his roof, so to speak.
The sponge crab behaves in similar
manner, nipping off little bits Of living
sponge and sticking them on his back,
where they grow vigorously. The
same end Is served as in the other case.
1t is very amusing to keep crabs Of
one or other Of these kinds in an aqua
rum and deprive them of the usual
means of concealment.
They get very nervous and agitated
and try to cover themselves with bits
of paper or anything else that may be
provided. One such captive is said to
have had a little greatcoat made for
him, which he put on in a hurry as
soon as it was handed to him.

To Be Cheerful.

The sovereign, voluntary path to
cheerfulness, if our spontaneous cheer
fulness be lost, is to sit up cheerfully,
to look around cheerfully and to act
and speak as if cheerfulness were al
ready there. If such conduct doesn't
make you soon feel cheerful, nothing
else will on that occasion. So, to feel
brave, act as if we were brave, use all
our will to that end, and a courage fit
will very likely replace the fit of fear.
Again, in order to feel kindly toward a
person to whom we have been inimical,
the only way is more or less deliberate
ly to smile, to make sympathetic in
quiries and to force ourselves to say
genial things. One hearty laugh to-
gether will bring enemies into closer
communion of heart than hours spent
on both sides in inward wrestling with
the mental demon of ,uncharitable feel
ing.
