One inconsiderate father, interested
in affairs of state, named his children,
who Glanced to be all girls, after the
various presidents in whom he was
interested at the time of the infants
birth. During their childhood the
girls rejoiced in the names of Lincoln,
Johnson and Grant for middle names.
They always wrote their names out in
fuil, taking great pride in them as
their father had done. Gradually, rs
they grew older, they wrote only the
initials, and at the present time not
one of the daughters in that family
has any middle name at all.

CERTAINLY DESERVED THE CHECK.

College Provost Catches Philadelphia
Broker in His Own Trap.
The University of Pennsylvania has
not a large endowment, and that it
finds the means to pay its current ex-
penses and put up new buildings is
due in great measure to its provost,
Charles C. Harrison. His little black
subscription book is well known in
many a downtown ot1ice-too well
known, a prominent broker told him
not long ago. Mr.. Harrison was plead
ing persistently with him for a sub
scription, but in vain. Finally the
broker said:
See here, Mr.. Harrison, l will give
you something on one condition"
Very well, Mr.. T." said the
provost name it,
THE condition is that you promise
never come into my office again until
l ask you to do So"
Certainly, Mr.. T, 1 agree to
that" said the provost promptly, and
walked out smiling with a check for
$1,000.
A month or so later the broker
heard a knock at his door. Come in"
he called, and in walked Mr.. sHarri-
son. He had his black book under his
arm.
Good morning, Mr.. T" he said;
81 want you to help me with little
university matter l am
Look here, Mr.. Harrison" the brok-
er continued, when | gave that last
thousand dollars wasn't it on the ex-
press condition that you wouldn't
come into my Office again until l in
vited you?"
why, yes returned the provost, 81
believe that was the understanding.
But didn't you say Come in just now
when | knocked?"
They say the check this time was
for five thousand Philadelphia

Old American Bottles.

In early American glassware the his
tory of our national art progress has
been written. Choice and precious
indeed are the crude blue.green and
brown amber bottles made early in the
nineteenth century-the portrait bot
ties bearing busts of Washington,
Franklin, Lafayette, De Witt Clinton,
Zachary Taylor, Kossuth, and Jenny
Lind. Local decorative subjects on
many lines of idea were treated by the
first American bottle makers; and the
most exquisite Venetian bottle cannot
outrank in value, to patriotic Amer
lean collector, the primitive old TASKS
ornamented with Indian, Masonic en-
blems, cannon and steamships or such
outdoor themes as the seasons, birds,
fruits, trees, sheayes of wheat, the
fisherman, deer, the gunner and his
hounds, and the first bicycle. The
earliest American railway, with car
drawn by a horse, is historically cell
ebrated on a glass flash, as well as the
bold Pixies Peak pilgrim, with his
staff and bundle.-The Century.

The most remarkable specimen Of
Punic art which has ever come to
light was discovered recently at Car
thage by P. Delattre, a well-known
archaeologist, which is fashioned of
white marble and beautifully orna-
mented with engravings. That it
served at one time as the tomb of
some Carthaginian ruler all obtain
able evidence tends to show.
M. Heron de Villefosse gave a
graphic account of this discovery at
the last meeting of the French
Academy of Inscriptions and Bellies
Letters and maintained that it was by
far the most notable specimen of an
cient Carthaginian art which has yet
been found
1t was while excavating in the
Punic metropolis near the hill of Saint
Monica that P. Delatre came across
this royal tomb. AS to its future des-
tination various rumors are afioat, but
it is most likely that it will be remov-
ed 10 some French museum.

After standing for dozen years by
the side of a mammoth elm tree near
the Henry Fenner ledge property on
Cranston street, Providence, R. L.,
grim, rusty old safe is about to be re.
moved. The owner, l.. r. Titus, has
disposed of it to a resident of the
neighborhood, who intends to tamper
with it and eventually take it away. ,
There is little story about the an.
cient safe. 1t contains dynamite, just
how much is not known, but Mr.. Titus
thinks not more than three or four
pounds. 1t was used for several years
to store the high explosive used in
blasting the rock, and when the Titus
interests discontinued the stone quar-
rying business at the Henry Fenner
ledge the safe contained several sticks
The lock became unmanageable seven
or eight years ago and has refused to
do service since. Hence the vault re-
mained tightly closed. a rather omi-
nous spectacle, standing as it has in the
open and known to harbor within the
rusty iron walls quantity of dyna-
mite, For obvious reasons the owner
did not blow the door off.
The new proprietor of the souvenir
of TIE old Fenner ledge days will COM
mence operations by removing a sec
ton of the door by drilling and taking
away the dangerous explosives.

poisonous fluid secreted in the salvary
glands.
A near relation of the octopus is the
sepia or cuttletish, which has arms
much shorter than those of the octo-
pus, but they do business very much in
the same way. The chief characteris-
tic of the cuttlefish are its ability to
hide itself and to change its color at
will, and in the transparent water of
the bay Of Naples the wonderful play
of tints in the living animal is very
much admired. This change in color
is due to large cells in the skin which
are filled with fluids. AS the cells con-
tract or expand the colors of the fluids
change and grow lighter or darker
like the blush upon the cheek of a
maiden, and give the animal an opal

Gated somehow from one to another,
and, at the time appointed, the entire
colony begins 10 move. 1t travels
very slowly, compared with other fish,
but makes several miles a day.
The octopus vulgaris devil
fish of the ancients-is very common
in the Bay of Naples. Examples are
hauled up in the nets every day. 1t
is the guerrilla CT fishes. 1t hides itself
in ambush in the crevices of the rocks
and waits for its prey. and often piles
up stones into a heap behind which
it conceals itself until it can pounce
upon unwary and innocent fishes that
pass by. The octopus also has the
power Of changing its color and pro-
ducing sll sorts of warts and wrinkles
upon its otherwise smooth skin, SO as
to deceive its neighbors. These traits
of character are rot commendable.
The body of the octopus looks like
a round bag and contains its vital or
gans. At one end it has a head like
that of a toad, with two large inquiring
eyes, and branching out from various
parts of the body are eight arms united
at their base by web similar to that
in the foot Of duck. Each arm has
two rows of suckers. Hidden by the
arms, and in the middle of the body
is the mouth, furnished with a pair of
powerful jaws and membraneous
flap which alternately opens and shuts
The arms are used for swimming,
crawling, climbing and for catching
and holding the prey. 1t eats crabs
fish and other animate objects which
are caught by its suckers, carried to
the mouth by means of the arms and
are quickly killed ard digested by a

The Rev. Alexander Allison, Jr.
pastor of the Southwestern Presbyte-
rian church, in recent sermon on the
subject of Lying" illustrated his text
with numerous stories, and one Of
these showed how, even in church. a
mans false pride sometimes leads
him to prevarication. A young man
took his best girl to church and, when
the time for collection" came round,
rather ostentatiously displayed s.

gagement to marry that had been
made by her, the young lady placed
a restraining land upon the arm Of
her fiance. why, don't be so extra

Just then the deacon came with tne
plate, and George dropped a coin.
Everything seemed favorable, and the
young man beamed with a sense of
generosity. Then the minister made
the announcements for the week. and
concluded with the wholly unexpected
announcement of the days collection.
"The collection to-day" said he,
''was $3.75"
George hadn't much to say all the
way to his fancee's home.

Some hundreds of school board boys

only one youngster refused to put his
mouth to the blow-pipe. He stood
there with his hands in his pockets,
watching the others with a comical
air of contempt.

Carlos Of the Sea
Peculiar of Abundant Quantities
the Bay of

One of the most curious forms of
dfe hauled up by the nets of the Naples
fishermen are "sea cucumbers''-slug-
shaped bodies about the size and shape
Of the vegetables of that name, of a
pulpy flesh covered with a leathery
skin and small calcareous scales of
carbonate of lime. They belong to the
same family as the starfish and sea
urchins, and feed on small crabs and
other floating animal life that they
can capture. They have no teeth, but
the walls of their alimentary canals
secrete strong juices that kill and dis
solve the fibers of the animals which
have been caught with their sucker
feet and brought to their mouths.
They suck in the sand and mud and
digest the nourishing particles while
those which are of no use to them are
rejected. Sea cucumbers are very COM
mon in the Bay of Naples, and are
often found more than foot long. One
variety, known as the "cucumari plan
ci," has a tail. When the animal is
alive the tentacles. of the tail are soft
and pliable and adhere to the rock,
but with death they harden like the
arms of starfish and the spines of sea
urchins, with which we are more ia
miliar.
The Bay of Naples abounds in medu-
sac, or jelly fish, as We call them, often
growing as large as two feet in diam
eter and weighing fifty and sixty
pounds. Some of them shine at night
with greenish light and are known
as "noctiluca" (night lanterns) by the
natives. The jelly fish sometimes
make migrations il great groups,
sometimes so large and so thick as to
impede the navigator of vessels, like
the floating plants il the Saragossa
sea Of the tropics. These shoals of
medusae, as they are called, may be
so dense that a piece Of timber plunged
in among them will be held upright

been explained. They are irregular
and occur at no particular season of

or cold and the currents of the ocean
do not seem to control them. When

camp, cut their own roads, and piled
upon the frozen lake 100000 feet of
