Diseases of Animnls.

Household pets are susceptible to a

The Very Finest Are Those Formed
From SillxwOrm Gut.
Silkworm gut forms the best line for
fishing purposes, partly on account Of
its great tenacity and partly because it
is so transparent. Every year suf-
ficient number Of Spanish silkworm
grubs are selected for this purpose Aft
er they have eaten enough mulberry
leaves and before they begin to spin
they are thrown into vinegar for sew
eral hours. Each insect is killed, and
the substance which the grub in the
natural course would have spun into a
cocoon is forcibly drawn from the dead
worm into much thicker and shorter
silken thread
The threads are then placed in pure
water for about four hours and after
ward dipped for ten minutes in So
luton Of soft soap. The fine outer
skin is thus loosened so that the work
man can remove it with his hands
The threads must be dried in a shady
place and are often bleached with
sulphur vapor until they acquire the
bright appearance Of spun glass.-Lon-
don Telegraph.

1t Tells About the Butcher and the
Way He Sells His Meat.
What is the man doing behind the
counter?
He is selling meat. Let us watch
him.
What is the lady going up to the
counter for?
TO buy meat from the greasy man
with the white apron.
What does she ask for?
A five pound roast of porterhouse.
What docs he give her?
A seven pound roast.
Then does he charge her only for
what she asked for?"
No, indeed. He charges her for what
he chose to give her.
Didn't the lady know what she want
ed?
Evidently the man didn't think SO.
Can't lie tell the weight of piece of
meat when he picks it up?
Certainly he can. Otherwise he would
never be able to know that he is al
ways selling you a piece of meat sew
eral pounds bigger than you wanted.
Why does the man do this?
1t is impossible to associate con-
stantly with greasy things and not be-

Usefulness of any man or woman lies
principally In the Willingness back of
the hands to do as we'll as they pos
sibly can whatever comes their way.
AS a rule, it will be found that the
most useless persons in the world are
those who are waiting" for something
to turn up And by the same sign it is
a fact that the most useful beings are
those who have taken up the first thing
that came to hand and done the best
they could with it. These people usual
ly find something to their liking in the
long run, too, and If this be denied
them they have the good sense to learn
to like what comes.

TWO CLASSES OF OAKS.
One Notable For It's Wood, the Other
For Its BriIliancy of COIOring.

One Notable For It's Wood, the Other
For Its BriIIiancy of CoIOring.
The great oak family might be divid-
ed into two classes-those that ripen
their acorns in one season, such as the
white, post and messy cup oaks, and
those which require two full years,
such as the red, scarlet and black oaks.
To the first class belong the chestnut
oak and the live oak of the south. This
latter tree for generations played an
important part in shipbuilding, but has
now been superseded by iron and steel.
The leaf, which is an evergreen, IS en-
tirely without indentations and is thick
and leathery The wood is very heavy
and strong, has beautiful grain and
is susceptible Of taking high polish.
At one time this wood was so valuable
that our government paid 100000 for
large tracts of land in the south, that
our navy might be sure of supply of
live oak timber.
To the second class of oaks we are
largely indebted for the gorgeous col
ors of our autumn leaves. The red,
scarlet and pin oaks, with their bril-
liant reds, scarlets and browns, are
close competitors with the maple In
giving our American landscapes the
most wonderful autumn colorings to be
found anywhere in the world. These
three trees have leaves which Mt first
glance are quite similar, but by care
FIJI examination may ALWAYS be dis
tinguished.-S Nicholas.

How sparrows We're Caught.

In an old game book published in
England in 1920 appeared the follow
Ing formula for the lessening Of the
sparrow pest: ''Take some lees of wine
and hemlock juice, temper them to-
gether and steep n quantity of wheat
therein for the space of one night. Then
place the same in spot where the
birds resort to feed, and when they
have eaten thereof they will drop down
dead drunk Too much hemlock should
not be used or there will be a danger
of poisoning the birds and rendering
them unwholesome food"

The UGLY OCTOPUS.
Ii In One of the Most Repulsive nnd
HideOus of Creatures.


A greedy, voracious, relentless crea-
ture is the octopus, and most formi-
dable enemy even to man, for it Is easier
to cut or tear of one of those terrible
long arms with its two rows of suck
ers than to induce the creature to re-
linquish any prey it has laid hold of.
These suckers also enable it to drag
It's body into very narrow crevices,
from which scarcely any force will
avail to remove 1t.
Like it's beautiful brother the argo-
naut, it defies its enemies by ejecting
ink, but the octopus is so subtle and
clever that he can vary the color of his
ink according to the color of the ground
he is passing over, and, as he Is very
active and darts about at lightning
speed, he constantly escapes being
caught.
He is an unsociable creature, appar-
emily quite satisfied with his own So
ciety. as he roams about alone, seeking
what he may devour on rocky shores,
where he may be met with of all sizes,
varying in length from an inch to two
or more feet.
The octopus has one very curious
habit-when resting he coils up some
of his arms into Semblance of the
shell Of the -Pearson's Week
