Little Man Eaters.

There are other fishes which will
attack man besides sharks, the worst
of which are not more ferocious
than a small South American fish
found in the waters Of the Orinoco
river, It is a little creature, only six
or eight inches in length, but in
schools it will attack human beings
and eat them up alive if it gets a
chance. When you go fishing in
that river, these fierce pygmies will
take bites out Of the fish you catch
as you are hauling them in, and you
will do well not to fall out Of the
boat if you wish to escape being mu-
filated.

He HAD EARS.
And General Logan Told the Kind
That They Were Not.


That They Were Not.
General John a. Logan once re-
iieved an embarrassing situation as
promptly as he ever vanquished a
Zoe.
His jet black locks combed down
smooth over his cheeks and cut
across in a straight line at the base
of the neck made two sharp corners,
one on either side his head, whose
ebon folds totally concealed his
ears.
Once when a transient guest at a
hotel he was seated in the dining
room opposite lady and her little
daughter of four or five years. Well
bred silence was preserved, but the
child looked 'Black jack over with
interest. What passed in her mind
became apparent when, after a
weeks absence, he was again seated
at the table with the same lady and
her daughter. In the interim the
general had had his hair so cut that
it exposed the lower part of the lobe
of his ears Hardly was he seated
in his chair before the child's eyes
were fairly glued upon him. She
wriggled in her seat, then hitched
her mothers arm violently and said
IN stage whisper:
mamma, he has got ears. I can
see them"
fsYes,'' exclaimed General Logan,
with a twinkle in his eye, sI have
got ears, my little maid, and they
hear"
The child's mother blushed Grim
son and attempted to stammer ont
an apology, but the general turned
to her and said, with smile that
rendered his swarthy features ra-
diant:
madam, pray do not distress
yourself. | can assure you they are
not asses ears" New York Times.

The Inventor of POSTAGE Stamps.

The inventor of the gummed post
age stamp was Scotsman, Mr..
James Chalmers of Dundee, who in
1884 suggested the adoption Of the
practical system of affixing adhesive
squares of paper to envelopes. Mr..
Chalmers was ridiculed, and, among
Others, medical men predicted that
the constant licking of gum would
be prejudicial to the health of the
nation. 1t was not until 1871 that
the plan of Mr.. Chalmers received
the serious attention of the postof-
flee authorities. --London Answers.
