A CURIOUS ANIMAL.
The Sea Cucumber Can Part With
and Replace It's Organs.


Among the curious animals which in
habit the sea we may take the holO-
thuria, or sea cucumber, SO called from
it's resemblance to the cucumber. When
this animal Is attacked by an enemy 1t
does not stand up and fight, but by a
sudden movement 1t elects its teeth,
stomach, digestive apparatus and near
ly all It's intestines and then shrivels
It's body up to almost nothing. When,
however, the danger Is past, the ami
NAL commences to replace the organs
which 1t has voluntarily parted with,
and In short time the animal Is as
perfect as ever It was.
DR.. Johnstone kept one in water for
a long time, and one day he forgot to
change the water. The creature IN
consequence elected It's intestines and
shriveled up, but when the water was
changed all it's organs were repro
duced. Although the animal is not
eaten in Europe, 1t is favorite with
the Chinese, and the fishing forms an
important part of the industry Of the
east. Thousands Of junks are annually
used in fishing for trepang, as the AMI
mails are called.-London Tit-Bits.

One evening the old gentleman, hav-
ing finished his dinner, was preparing
to leave the hotel when the darky who
had served him bowed and said,
"Thdnk you very much, sah."

A distinguished Servian doctor who

patients gives some of his Impressions
of crowned heads when suffering.
Emperor William, he says, is docile.
but has mania for discussing with his
doctors and likes to parade all the med
ical knowledge he has gained through
Well-knOwn medical books.
King Edward VII. is the gentlest pa

The queen Of Holland is very unruly

pulse.
The czar and the sultan are very diff

impressiOnable and has an instructive
fear of the most inoffensive remedy
The latter mistrusts his doctor and Is
always afraid of being poisoned. He
wants every medicine prescribed ana

Ever Dissatisfied Even When They
Reach the Pinnacle.
In New York the dissatisfied man or
woman who has achieved the full
round Of society and discovered its ut
ter vanity, If not indeed worse, may
imagine If not familiar with London
and Paris that in those cities exists a
superior class Of men and women, more
intellectual and less brutal than those
Of whom he knows. The Chicagoan
unfamiliar with New York hopes to
discover in Manhattan something diff
ferent from that which Is to be found
In the western city. The resident Of
Omaha perhaps thinks that if she could
attain Chicago she would find her ideal
society. In Hastings, Neb., doubtless
there are very many who think 1t
would be heaven to attain social
prominence In Omaha. And out on the
prairie are scattered hamlets in which
many socially ambitious young girls
and mothers look toward Hastings as
a social Mecca. 1t all reminds one Of
the translation of Omar's lines: Till
on the Silly top Of heavens stair clear
eyed | looked-and laughed-and climb

GAVE THE FISH A JAG.
This Is One Way of Being Entertaining

"Did you ever see drunken fish 2" in
quired Sonoma county wine grower.
No one would confess that he had

about a drunken catfish staggering

ing bird?" suggested one.
''Do you think | am a liar?" demand
cd the farmer, Indignantly, but he was
left in ignorance as to the belief of his
hearers. "My winery is right on the
hank of a little creek. This time of the
year the water stands in pools and
every pool is full of trout, suckers and
pike. All of the waste from the winery
is thrown into the creek, and that is
enough to discolor the water, but the
other day a big vat Of sour caret burst
and nearly all of it ran down into the
hole of water just below the winery
In half an hour the pool was crowded
with fish floating belly up. thought
they were dead, and pulled big pike
out, but he wiggled and Topped around
just like an old drunk trying to get up
without anything to hold on to. One
by one they disappeared as they So
bered up, and when the water cleared
two days afterward there wasn't dead
fish in the pool. They had just been
jagged"
