FOES OF THE OCTOPUS.
The Devilflsh Has q Hard Time ooda.
Ina tts Enemies.

sstc 0cSsTsSp FaS z 0afo lime U0d4-
Ing its Encmlee-
The octopus of tho sea has to
keep a sharp lookout and do his
best to guard against the too press
ing attentions &c certain epecies OF
whales menstes-oongeFs.andd siharhhs
A close i~nspectdon-of the octopus
reveals how wonderfully uha animal
is adapted for its mode of life.
There is no doubt about those two
great unwinking.eyes being ELL the
better to see with" IN the DIM
aqueous world where tho creature
makes its home Then each Of it's
eight long, snaky arms is crowded
With 12o pairs of powerful suckers.
So powerful arc these suckers
that when once they have fastened
upon an object it is easier to tear
away the arm of the octopus than
make them release their hold.
Like the professional beauty, the
octopus has tho power of 'blushing
to order-and how many poor in
nocents, alas, fall victims to the de-
ceit! But the octopus can put the
most shllful human blusher In the
shadc with ease, for it practically
knows how to blush in all the oclors
of the rainbow. Thus, should the
octopus lie in. wait among rudy
colored rocks, a crimson blush will
suffuso its sinister form ard coun-
tenance, or should the rocks be COW
cred with green weed then the blush
will become green, Or 1t may change
to blue, gray, yellow or brown, ac-
cording to the color Of the sur
rounding objects.
The different methods Of looomo-
ton which the creature adopts are
quite in keeping with its uncanny
shape. At times it will prowl about
the floor Of the sea in q most gro
tesque and ungainly fashion, head
downward, on it's outspread arms,
crit will swim by means Of G rhyth-
mic expansion and contraction Of
it's webbed arms. But when it is in
a hurry the octopus darts along tail
foremost by expelling with great
force q is of water from the curious
funnel attached to the underside OF
its body.-Chicago Tribune.

IT GREW WITH YEARS.
1te Original Westminster Tobacco
o and lite Many Additions.

The Original Westminster Tobacco
Box and lts Many Additions.
The original Westminster tobac-
90 box was bought 200 years ago, b.
an overseer of Westminster named
Moack. II was purchased at a
~horn !ais" for fourpenoe, being
made OF horn and just big enough
to put into uhp pocket. When the
~overseers mot Mr. Monok filed it
With tobacco and EACH overseer
helped himself. In fY13 he pre-
sented tho box 10 the Past Over
seerS society, and. aeven years Later
the members placed q silver rim
around the lid to cnmc,emo-ae til the
donor. A silver side case and bot
tom was added n .1726, and in 1Y4O
AN embossed border, with q figure
OF Charity, was placed ON the lid.
Hogarth's engraving of tho Duke
OF Cumberland, with allegori Il fig
11res representing the battle o. Cul-
loden, may he seen inside.
In 1765 all interviewer scroll was
added to the lid. with a plate bear
ing the arms of tho city, and en- IN
scription setting forth that u penal
tty OF live guineas was incurred for
failing to hand over the box to ev-
cry succeeding set of overseers.
Shortly atterward the box was
i placed i'll d silver case lined with
crimson velvet, and this in turn was
enveloped in q third. fourth, fifth
and sixth case, with silver plates
engraved with emblematical and
historical subjects, portraits and in
scriptions. Another case of pan
eled oak wa added in 1878, and
upon this are placed q representa-
ton of Cleopatra's Needle and rec
ords of the war between Turkey and
Russia, the loss Of b. Nj. S. Euryd-
ice, the opening of the new West
minister intirmary and other local
events.
Another plate was added to the
box in 1882, and this bears finely
engraved portraits with dates cf.the
deaths of Lord Beaconsfeld, Lord
Batherley and Dean Stanley. In
1887 the outside case was surmount-
! ed by q silver statue &c the late
Queen Victoria. In the inner cases
may be seen some beautiful engrav-
ings representing, among other
things. the fireworks display in St.
James. park at the peace Of Aix-la,
Chapelle, Admiral Keppel's action

penalty for failing to hand.the box
over to successive overseers was
fixed at 30 guineas. Thus it comes
