There is new theory extant that it
Is possible to determine the age of
fishes, especially those Of the cod fami-
ly, by counting the periodic growth of
the scales.
We know that the growth Of the
scales is annual in the carp. Why
should Il not be so in salt water fishes?
Mr. ]. s. Thomson. ell English biolo-
gist Of note, has been making some In
tercsting experiments IN this line to
test the age OF fishes.
The scales are first carefully exam
ined. then the fishes are labeled and
returned 10 the sea for future observa-
ton.
In some cases a study Of the scales
reveals changes, so that the rings in
the scales can be distinctly traced
from year to year with a certain fixed
regularity. Boston Globe.

Worms In Lambs.

The greatest loss Of lambs Is due to
tape, stomach and lung worms, and as
these parasites are always most nu-
rlerous in old pastures the proper plan
is to frequently change pastures, says
Wool Markets and Sheep. When at
tackled there are numerous remedies,
but one Of the simplest and best is two
teaspoonfuls Of gasoline in four ounces
Of sweet milk used as drench twice
about ten days apart. Care must be
taken to avoid strangling, and gooe
way Is to use In bottle with lamb

decd vita good results If expense Is

The man with telephonitis is one Of
the features of New York restaurant
life, and there are many of him. AS
soon as his party is seated and the
supper is ordered he rises, thrusts both
hands in his pockets and strolls up to
the cashiers desk-to use the tele-
phone. And Of course every man and
woman in the restaurant watches him,
and all try their level best to hear what
he says He shields his lips with his
hand, which adds to the effect of mys-
terry, and for some minutes he holds
the center of the stage, which ia ex-
actly what he wants. Then back 80
his hands In his pockets, and he re-
turns to the table.
The cashier in one popular cafe says
that some Of the conversations are pos
itively absurd. He overheard this i'm
