asked the question why his people
painted their faces told this little leg
end:
Long ago when men Were weak and
animals were big and strong n chief Of
the red men who lived in these noun
tains went out to get deer, for his
people were hungry.
AFTER walking all day he saw deer
and shot ut 1t, but the arrow was
turned aside and wounded mountain
lion. which was also after the deer.
When the lion felt the sting Of the ar
row. he jumped up and bounded after
the man. who ran for his life.
he was almost exhausted, and
when he felt his strength giving way
lie fell to the ground, calling on the big
bear. who, you know. is the grandfa-
ther of men. 10 save him.
The big bear heard the call and saw
that to save the man he had to act
quickly. so he scratched his foot and
sprInliled his blood over the man.
Now. you must know that no ami
nal will eat of the bear or taste Of his
blood. So when the lion reached the
man he smclled the blood and turned
AWAY. but MS lie did so his foot scraped
the face Of the man. leaving the marks
of his claws on the blood smeared face.
when the man found that he was
unlpitlred. he was so thankful that he
lrft the blood 10 dry on his face and
never washed 1t at all, but left 1t until
itpceled of.

blood stayed on 1t was lighter. Now

1t Is said that Horne Tooke. who OK

hibitcd by two dlsputants when pittcd
against each other with only the
breadth Of n mahogany board between
them, was exceedingly quick aud sharp
at retort. When he made his most
deadly TRUSTS, it was with n smiling
countenance and without seeming eff
fort or emotion. Replying to n man
who contended that only landowners
should be allowed to vote at elections
he said, Pray tell me how many acres
does It take to make a wiseacre"
When asked by George III. whether he
ever played cards. he replied, Il can
not, your majesty, tell king from a
knave." What can be more uniquely
comic than his saying to his brother:

verted the laws of nature. You have
risen in the world by your gravity. and

How would you like to have n crab
like this squeezing your toe when you
go bathing? The gigantic japanese
crab, measuring twelve feet, is proba-
bly, the largest crustacean in the world.
The specimen is a type of the spider
crab, which inhabits the waters of the
group of islands forming the empire
of japan. The body portion Is the size
of half bushel measure, while Its
two great arms or "feelers" could cas-
lily enclrcle the figure of n man. Its
eight arms or legs resemble huge
bamboo poles and are extremely elias
tic, and il strung into one line they
would reach to the top of n four story

traordlnary pecuiIarites of this crab
is the faculty of assuming a disguise
by aalxing pieces OF seaweed and
