Odd Australian Animals.

Australia produces those lowest of
the quadrupeds, tive duck billed water
mole and the echidna. or Australian
porcupine ant eater. They, along with
the knngaroos, may be described as
the groundlinGs of the mammalian
family, for In respect Of their struc-
ture they are OF a much lower grade
than. say. n dog or a cat This inferi-
ority ia seen not only In the brain, but
In many other details Of theix bodily
anatomy.
In geological circles the prevalent
opinion Is that this mole Ia a link be
tween birds on the one hand and nam
mails on the other. These lowest"
quadrupeds lay eggs like birds, the
young being subsequently hntched
from the eggs. wheroas In the kanga-
roos ana all higher mammals the
young are born alive and nourished by
means of milk

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS.

Forty millions bottles of August
Flower sold in the United States alone
since its introduc ioni Aud the demand
for it is still growing. Isn't that fine
showing of success? Don't it prove
that August Flower has had unfailing
success in the cure of indigestion and
dyspepsia the two greatest enemies of
health and happinesss Does it not afford
the best evidence that August Flower
is a sure specific for all stomach and
intestinal dis 'rders?-that it has proved
itself the best of All liver regulatorsP
August Flower has a matchless record
of over thirty-fve years in curing the
ailing millions of these distressing com
pants--a success that is becoming
wider in its scope every day, at home
and abroad, as the fame of August
Flower spreads. Trial bottles, 25c; reg

A Peculiar Fish.

'"There il n species of fish in the In
dian ocean which have II very remark
able pecularity." said naturalist
This fish is provided with short
snout, which 1t uses very much as II
sportsman uses gun. Swimming close
beneath the surface of tie water It
watches the flies fitting about directly
overhead, and having selected one to
Its fancy suddenly thrusts It's head out
of the water and with unerring marks
manship discharges several drops Of
water nj It's victim. Confused, and
with its wings drenched and rendered
temporarily useless by the watcry pro
jectiles, the insect drops to the sur
face Of the wator, where 1t is immedi-
ately kobbed up by It's yorncious en-
emy. These fish are said TO be able
to bring down fly In this manner
from the height of two or three feet"

There are persons ut the present dAy
and not MI old women elther-whO
believe that killing a robin will bring
bad luck. According TO ancient belief
the stormcloud was huge bird. The
Arabians represented his wings as
measuring 10000 fathoms. This bird
lived on worms, the latter being the
streaks of lightning accompanying
storms. The Germans remodeled the
fiction by creating the god Thor. whose
bird was the robin. Consequently TO
kill robin first meant death by light
ming, then bad luck.

SLAVE TO HABIT.
Clerk Who Can't Week Without His
Own Chair, Typewriter and Pencil.

eff it is just the same to you, please
let me have that chair you are sitting
on" said a clerk in an office the other
day. His request was granted with
out any objections, but several men in
the office wanted to know why he
wanted the particular chair well,
said the clerk, 81 have simply got in
the habit of using it, as well GER
tain penholder, pencil, desk, type
writer, and so forth. This thing they
call habit is worth some thought and
study, even for busy clerks. Now, for
instance, [ suppose you are used to
smoking a certain brand of cigar.
Y our dealer might try to convince you
that another cigar is as good, or even
better, but you would cling to the old
friend. Getting in the habit of doing
things is responsible for this.
Again, you may be used to wear
ing a certain style of shoe, which
pleases you very much and looks well
also. You want to buy a new pair.
toe he wants to interest you in, but
you ask for the same old style as be-
fore, simply because you have been
accustomed to it, that's all. I recall
into relief as an example. 1 used a
typewriter in my business. need not
mention the make, but 1 may add it
is a standard machine and reputed to
few days in the country. I wanted to
use a typewriter, but I could not Sc
cure my old make. Try as 1 would, I
could not think with any certainty
while using the machine. L tried to
write in pencil. To my surprise, I
met with the same difficulty.
st might go on citing many other
habits I have acquired, but am quite
sure you are a victim of the get the
habit fever. My wife never buys my
neckwear or collars any more, be-
cause she tried to please me several
times. but 1 had simply become ac-
customed to wearing things after my
own style, and the wearables she
bought did not appeal to me.''-New

I had entertained the thought of re-

Depew as If L myself had been the
candidate"
When asked what effect the return
of Senator Depew would have on the
organization Senator Plat said:
81 don't see that it will have any
particular effect
Your friends are saying that you
now will resume active leadership of
the organization it was suggested.

that character at this time" said the

HI. lei. ROGERS is ILL.
The Lawson Attacks Cause Worry to
Standard Gil Man.

New York. Dec. 31.-H. H. Rogers,
who came to his Office yesterday for
the first time in a week. is in bad
health, according to several of his per-
sonal friends. Last week he was kept
at his home for three days by orders
of his physician, and he did not stay
downtown long. Mr.. Rogers friends
say he always has been a man of a
very sensitive nature, and that the re-
cent attacks on him have been a great
strain on his nerves. Moreover, Office
talk has it that disaSreements with
some of his associates have SO worked
on him that his friends are alarmed
and have advised him to take a rest
from business for the time being. Mr..
Rogers, it is understood. is not willing
at this time to take the vacation. At
his office his secretary refused to say
except that Mr.. Rogers had
been at the Office again.

New York Stocka.

Wall St, New York Dec. S1.--SToCKS-
With the exception of a rise of Is point in

ed lower than last night. The first price
of Amalgamated Copper was 4 point
higher, but it Immediately ran off to be-
low last night. Consolidated Gas lost Ia
points and St. Paul, Brooklyn Rapid
Transit and Sugar sharp fractions.
Stocks were offered more abundantly
and prices sank under the weight of Of
ferings. Several of the recent bull IA

pecially Amalgamated Copper, United
States Steel stocks and the Pacifics. Be
fore IL o'clock losses of 1 to ~ points
were common. Az IL o'clock the market
was rallying.
Amalgamated Copper made a full re-
