A pretty little animal, writes CORE
spondent, occasionally to be noticed at
the edge of stream or pond is the wa
ter shrew. The ways of these creatures
are most fascinating. l have seen them
quietly emerge from the grass run
down the side of the bank into and
along the bottom of the stream. While
under the water their movements are
very rapid. They scrape away on the
bottom with their feet thrusting their
long shouts into the mud and under
stones and leaves in search of insects
on which they feed. They then retire
a little way up the bank for moment
or two to take breath and hurry back
to their work once more. / have never
seen water shrews dive. They simply
run in and out of the stream, as If air
and water were both alike to them, and
they were equally at home in either ell
ement. When under the water, they
look as If they were covered with mi
mute silver pearls owing to the particles
of air adhering to their furry bodies.
Land and water shrews are not Of the
mouse tribe. They have the sharpest
and most delicately beautiful teeth i'm
aginable and live entirely on insect
food.-London Opinion.

destructive to modesty in women.
The familiarity begotten by the
negligee costumes and the free and
easy lolling about while resting
from century bicycle rides and
games can have but one effect
that of engendering disregard fol-
the delicate instincts of modesty in
women and less respect for woman
hood in men.

The Lion of ST. Mark.

The symbol of the Venetian republic
the famous lion of st. Marks made
Of bronze. There is a tradition among
the Venetian people that its eyes are
diamonds. They are really white, ag-
ates, faceted. Its name is most elabo-
rately wrought, and it's retracted, gap
ing mouth and its fierce mustaches give
it an oriental aspect.
The creature as it now stands belongs
to many different epochs, varying from
some date previous to our era down TO
this century. 1t is conjectured that 1t
may have originally formed part or
the decoration of some Assyrian palace.
st. Marks lion it certainly was not
originally, for 1t was made to stand
level upon the ground and had to be
raised up in front to allow the evangel
to be slipped under its fore paws.
