IN CLOSE QUARTERS IN SHE'LL.
Founder and Oyster Occupied the One
Domcile.

G. F. Hildenbrand is the possessor
of an oyster shell which contained
two 1nhabitants-an oyster and a fish.
he has had the curio preserved in al.
cohOl.
The natural and rightful inhabitant
of the shell was dwarfed by the pres

nearly three inches long, it being only
about have the size of an oyster ordi-
narlly contained in a shell the size of
the one which held the peculiar com
blnation. An FISHERMAN found the
strange combination while plying his
trade and presented it to Mr.. Hidden
brand.
Those who have seen the curio have
formed so many ideas of how it all
came about that it would be impossi-
bic to repeat them all. One of these
explanations of how the fish happened
in the oyster shell is that it just hap
pened along while the oyster was TAX
ing a good breathing spell with it's
shell open, and that being of a
curious disposition the founder in
vestigated just at the time the shell

A botanical friend showed me not
long since what he said was the apple
that must have tempted Eve in what
was surely a tropical fruit garden.
says writer in Country Life in
America. 1t was a little bit of an
Oriental crab, about a third of an inch
in diameter, and of course, it was
bitterly sour! My philosophizing
friend pointed out that, of course, the
fruits in Eden were the natural wild"
fruits, and he was wondering whether
the fall of mankind would not have
been accelerated if the attracting
tree had been hung with fair crop of
the golden Bellflower, or of crimson
striped Wealthy or Winesap!

Where the Ark Rested.

Contrary to the general idea, local
tradition places the site of the set
Ting of the Ark of Noah not on the
summit of the greater Ararat, but in
the hollow Of the saCdle between it
and the lesser mountain bearing
the same name. Seen from the north
the view of the two mountains, with
their symmetrical forms, the lesser to
the east, 10000 feet in height, the
other 1000 feet higher, with a grace
full dip between, in which the Ark is
said to have reposed is singularly
impressive, both in its natural aspect
and because of it's association.-New

How to Drive Rats From Houses

There are other effective means be-
sides the destruction of the rat to pre-
vent his living in houses. The rat
has a very sensitive foot, covered by
very delicate integument, which is
burned by unslacked lime. If we
sprinkle the holes and runways of the
rat with unslacked lime he will desert
our houses. He is also very thirsty
animal, and if we cut off his sources
of water he will desert the region
