Oliver Wendell Holmes.

Mrs. Rebecca Harding Davis writes
of DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes: "Phys-
ically he was a very small man, hold
ing himself stif1iy erect-his face insig
nificant as his figure, except for long
obstinate upper lip Cleft to me- he said
one day, by some i'll conditioned great
grandmotherD, and eyes full of won
derful fire and sympathy. No one on
whom DR.. Holmes had once looked
with interest ever forgot the look-or
him. He attracted all kinds of people
as a brilliant excitable child would at
tract them. But nobody, 1 suspect, ev-
err succeeded in being familiar with
him. I remember one evening that he
quoted one of his poems, and l was
forced stupidity to acknowledge that
did not know it. He fairly jumped to
the bookcase took out the volume and
read the verses, standing in tie middle
Of the room, his voice trembling, his
whole body thrilling with their mean
ing. There he cried at the end, his
eyes flashing, could anybody have said
that better? Ah-hv with long indrawn
breath of delight as he put .he book

Here is an explanation of the old
horseshoe superstition: st. Dunstan
was a skilled farrier. One day while
at work in his forge the devil entered
in disguise and requested Dunstan to
shoe his "single hoof." The saint, al
though he recognized his malign Gus
toner, acceded, but caused him so
much pain during the operation that
Satan begged him to desist. This st.
Dunstan did, but only after he had
made the evil one promise that neither
he nor any of the lesser evil spirits, his
servants, would ever modest the In
mates of a house where the horseshoe
was displayed.

Fish Ont of Water.

Many people think that fish when
taken out of water die because air has
a fatal effect on them. The real rea-
son, however, is that their delicate gill
filaments or membranes become dry
and stick together, so that no air can
can pass between them. Thus they lose
the power to imbibe necessary oxygen,
and the circulation of their blood stops.
The painful gasping of fish out of wa
ter is natures effort to free the pas
sage through the filaments.
