While it is very true that the Amer

APPETITEs OF FISHES.


whales and Other Marine Creatures
Who Never Get Enough.
Did you ever observe" said a ma
turalist, "the remarkable %appetites
some fishes possess? Take as an ex-
ample the w%halebone whale.
These whales live on jellyfsh.
They merely open their mouths and
sail slowly along, taking in jellyfsh
by the ton. The mouth of a large
whale holds several wagon loads of
these creatures.
But the most puzzling feature of
this enormous appetite is how the
whale ever obtains enough to eat,
W. if it eats every hour in the day.
Each Of these jellyfsh is supposed to
be about 95 per cent. water, hence
only 5 per cent. of each counts as
food.
whales of the toothed variety bite
their game. The Sperm whale, the
most ~pondeTous of all animals, lives
mainly upon giant squids found in the
deep sea, animals of great activity and
size, some being 70 feet in length
and weighing tons. The whale has
teeth Only in it's lower jaw, and these
are comparatively few. They are large
and club-shaped and far between, and
it is said that to lure these ~deep-sea
giants the whale opens it's mouth SO
that the white teeth act as bait. When
its prey is within reach the jaws snap
together. This great whale must be
constantly feeding to even obt.in a
fair meal.
"The small or t%hirty-foot whale or
killer, also has an astonishing aDpe.
tite. 1t is never satisfied, and as many
as fourteen seals have been taken
from the stomach of L large speci-
len The effect a band of these in
satiate animals have on a herd OF fur
seals can be imagined.
perhaps the most interesting in
stances of abnormal appetites are sup
piled by some of the deep sea fishes.
One, as an example, devours fishes
five or six times its own weight and
size. The fish will swallow just as
much as it can hold; in fact, it does
not appear to know when it has
enough.
Reproduction among fishes is based
upon the general proposition of an
enormous appetite on the part of pred
atory fishes. Fishes that are mainly
the food of others are born in count
less numbers. Thus each herring will
deposit several million eggs. Com
paratively few of these reach the adult
stage.
"The bluefish is an example of an
appetite that fails. 1t was es-
timated by Prof. Baird that there were
one thousand billion bluefsh OF our
coast every summer. Each bluefish.
putting it very low, eats ten small
fish a day, so that Prof. Baird figured
out that it took ten thousand million
sardines to feed these blueish daily,
or in the season of 100 days they ate
twelve thousand million.
But the bluefish does not stop here;
it eats more than it needs, and it will
often disgorge it's food that it a fill
itself again and again. One estimate
of the destruction of small fry from
this one fish in one season reached the
extraordinary figure of three hundred
thousand million.
ga curious little eater" continued
the naturalist, lis the hydra. 1t is
always hungry, and if you turn it in
side out, as you a very easily, it
eats and digests just the same

Gossip From Tien-tsln.

A traveller in Tien-tsin, mentioning
he raking Of the walls Of the ancient
city, relates that the work was done
chiefly by former boxers, hired for the
purpose. Even the children on the
streets made life unpleasant for these
t~urncoats by taunting them with a
two-line dosgerel running as follows;
From Oh: cakes you ate up all;
Now you've come to spoil our wall.
The reference in the first line is, to
The large fat cakes OF ~unleavened
-four, mixed with brown sugar, upon
which the boxers were fed by the
patrons Of the movement In Tien-tsin.
To many of them boxerism was mere
ly q means of earning a living.

PEARLS AND

According to an expert writer in the
Petit Blue, the heyday of diamonds
has gone, at least on the continent.
Diamonds are succumbing to three
kinds Of evolution:
(1) The evolution of moral taste.
It is now considered bad form for la
dies and gentlemen to advertise their
wealth by a display Of diamonds.
(2) A scientific evolution. Thanks
to this, diamonds are so wonderfully
well counterfeited that they are 10
longer the sign of wealth. The larger
and the more numerous the diamonds
the more they are suspected of being
paste.
90 The evolution of artistic taste.
The diamond admits of hardly any
variation in shape of composition.
The great continental artists of to-
day in the jewelry line use gold, silver,
even copper or iron, and produce with
them little marvels of art in which
the diamond hardly ever enters, I'M
less in a very minute and accessory
way, in order to animate" the whole.
The coronation year has not result
ed in the great rush for diamonds that
was expected, and the quieter-looking
but more expensive pearl has gained
an easy lead"
The manager of Tifany's told an Elk
press representative recently that the
sale of diamonds during the past year
had not been very much above the
normal, but the amount Of alteration
and repair work, ~re-setting of stones,
etc. had been extraordinarily great,
and the expert workmen had been kept
very busy.
The chief work had been in connec-
ton with the repair of family jewels,
while large number Of Americans
staying in England for the coronation
had had their diamonds reset and
polished by English workmen.
The American grande dame was al
ways a large buyer Of diamonds, and
was particularly anxious to have them
set in the English style.
The reason for the small increase in
the sale of diamonds was the great
popularity of the pearl, which had be-
come exceedingly fashionable of late
months, in spite of its expensiveness.
The usual price ffor a pearl necklace
ranged from 10000 to 10000 pounds,
and a really fine necklace was not to
be had for less than $4,000 pounds.
Where a society woman could make
a good show in diamonds for 1000
pounds, she could do very little in the
same amount in pearls.
Simplicity was the keynote of the
fashion in diamonds, and clusters of
large stones made into brooches and
pendants and other articles of adorn-
ment, were far more popular and Great
ed a better effect than a large collec-
ton of small diamonds set thickly to-
gether.
The average price for a diamond
brooch with fine large stones was g.
900, and TINS article found a rapid sale.
Men used diamonds less today than
they did a short time ago, and liked
less snowy stones for their rings and
scarfpins.-Lonaou Express.

Dried potatoes" is q new idea and

thing. 1t 10 the product OF the South
Carolina agricultural experiment sta
ton. During the process the potatoes
are boiled, peeled and evaporated in
a cannery, and will remain, it is
claimed, In perfect condition for years.
The preserved potato becomes fit for
eating after being soaked in warm wa
ter for an hour. Like many other new
ideas, this promises to be a big thing.
It insures to the farmer the perfect
preservation Of one of his most pro-
life and most important general food
crops, at the same time fitting 1t for
safe and economical shipment to dis
tant markets heretofore closed to 1t,
and effects these ends by q mode Of
preparation which is so simple and
cheap that it can be employed on any
farm. When it Is noted that in q
case stated In the table an acre of
land yielded 357 bushels OF raw po-
tatoes, which in turn yielded 105 bush

ties Of the process in the way OF de-
yeloping the culture of the vegetable

Tongue Reading.

Linguistology is the most recent
craze in Paris. If one prefers to
call it glossomancy, well and good.
Under either name 1t means tongue
reading and 1t threatens to compete
with palmistry. A big tongue, 1t
seems, indicates frankness; q short
tongue, assimilation; a long tongue,
garrulity and generosity; a narrow
tongue, concentration and talent; a
short, broad tongue, garrulity and IN
truth. The man with a very short

A nervous, irritable mother: often on the verge Of Mysteries, is
unfit to care Tor children; it ruins a childs disposition and reacts
upon herself The trouble between children and their mothers
too often Is due to the fact that the mother has some female
weakness, and she is entirely unfit to bear the strain upon her nerves
that governing a child involves; it is impossible for her to do anything
calmly. She cannot help it, as her condition is due to suffering and
shattered nerves caused by some arrangement of the uterine system
with baokache, headache, and all kinds of pain, and she is on the verge
of nervous prosnaton.
When a mother finds that she cannot be calm and quiet with her
children, she may be sure that her condition needs attention, and she cam
not do better than to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
This medicine will build up her system, strengthen her nerves, and
enable her to calmly handle a disobedient child without a scene. The
