SAND EELs PLAYING FOX.
There Are Other Animals Besides
the opossum Given to
Thickness.

The animal which undoubtedly
foxes" according to the testimony or
many Independent observers, is the opos-
sum of America. With the exact mental
operation which induces this behavior
| am not here concerned, says the Corn
hill Magazine. Some regard it as a mere
cataleptic collapse under strong fear,
while others accept it as a genuine de-
ception. With some reservations, l must
rank myself with the latter, and it is,
therefore, particularly interesting to me
to have found, as think. a genuine in
stance of "foxing" in a fish. l give the.
following case only for what it may be
worth as evidence, but, as do not re-
member to have seen any such instance
previously recorded, it may be CT inter-
est. When fishing for bass in estuaries
we use living sand cells, and these are
kept in a floating wooden box, tethered to
the boat and hauled from the water
whenever q fresh bait is required. On
three consecutive occasions one morn
ing last summer the bait, which l picked
from the rest, lay apparently l~ifeless, its
sill covers hardly moving, on the palm
of my hand, and, as a half dead bait is
useless for the work, l pitched the MORT
bund sand eel overheard. The first had
nc sooner touched the water that it
darted off as in perfect health. The sec
ond behaved likewise. This reused my
suspicious, and l purposely sacrificed the
third. II the bait had not been getting
scarce, or, rather, perhaps, il my angling
zeal had not for the moment dominated
my devotion to scientific knowledge, /
should have tried the fish until all were
overheard. Even those three cases, how
ever, are not, | think, quite without in
terst, and it would be useful to learn
whether similar cases have come under
the observation Of any who are in the
habit of live batting for pike with dace
or %dudgeon. The lowest expression of
'foxing' is when one village lad lies in
the road with his arm shielding his
head. and another stands over him and
at intervals administers a stimulating
kick. Such cowardice n hardly expects
to find in fishes, but a fragile SAND eel is
surely excused if it declines to combat
with an ogre in whose palm half a dozen
of its kind could lie at full length.

THE JIU-JITsU HANDsHAKE.

devils handshake." You can see what
at is like in this picture.
The author of 'Jiu-JitSu Combat
Tricks" says the way to do it is as
follows:
Approach the intended victim and
tale Ills right hand in your own, as if
about to shake hands with him. Throw
his arm up, swing around at his side
and at the same time thrust your ex-
tended, rigid left arm under his cap
fU'4G right. Your left arm will assist
in throwing his right arm UP. See to
it that the inside of his wrist is up
perinOst. (See the picture.)
"NOw bear down on his right hand
while holding the victims arm up with
yoQr own rigid left arm. There will be
a quick shoot of pain through the vic
tins captured arm, and it is possible
to apply the pressure so severely that
he viii rise on his toes. If you walk
forward you can force him to 60 with
you. and you have so much leverage
upon him that he cannot swing around
and use his left hand in defense"
This trick will serve you boys well
WHEN you are grown up as a means Of
Kidding your home or office of an an
noying caller. He will be glad to make
his exit, you may be sure. No danger
of his paying you a second call, either.

Story Nikola Tesla Tells of a Joke
the Professor Played on
the Glass.

: Nikola Tesla was talking about his
student days at Prague.
Il remember WEI nj Prague" he said,
"'an old professor of great originality
and acumen. This professor insisted
on the value Of the free use of the per-
ceprive faculties, and he was always
pointing out the need for this use in
strange ways.
"One day, on arising to lecture, he
began:
Gentlemen, you do not use your
faculties of observation as you should
He laid on the table before him a pot
filled with some vile-smelling chemical
compOund-a thick, brown stuff.
"Nhen | was a student he went on,
Il did not fear to use my sense of taste.
Gle dipped his finger deep into the
pot and then stuck the finger in his
mouth.
Taste it, gentlemen; taste it, he
said, smiling grimly.
"The evil pot passed around the class
and n after anosher we dipped our
fingers in it and then sucked them
clean. The taste of the thick, brown
compound was horrible. We made wry
faces and %spluttered. The professor
watched US with a grim smile.
When the pot was finally returned
TO him his thin lips parted and he gave
a dry chuckle.
"I must repeat. gentlemen he said.
that you do not use your faculties of
observation. If you had looked more
closely at me you would have observed
that the finger l put IN my mouth was
not the n I dipped into the pot"

BABY'S GRAMMAR.

I know a young grammarfan,
She's only three feet high,
And yet she conjugates a verb
With far more ems than /.
For when l asked her: did you go?'
Her words by logic sent
Are heard in answer: Eyes, l COED"
(She never says: Il went.")
She's only four, yet with the verbs
She never has a doubt;
The ones that rave a crooked twist
She promptly straightens out.
And rules the grammar sharps revere
Get shocks both swift and rude
She never, eve says: Il did.
She always says: Il doed."
With be and was and being been.
With see and saw and seen,
With go and went and going gone,
With meaning meant and =
l often wish that at the start
Some four-year-oid Hortenses
Had COED to making grammar rules
And ooed h thing with sense!

Secret OF Living.

Of memories which will be like the twin

stem, and carry with us into the unseen
world something which will make 1t

Repeat two or three times until the

Identification.

Identification.
The public should remember that
there are a few Labor Unions conduct
ed on peaceful lines, and in proportion
as they are worthy they have won
esteem, for we, as a people, are strong
ly in sympathy with any right act that
has for it's purpose better conditions
for wage workers. Blu we do not for
get that we seek the good of all and
not those alone who belong to some
organization, whereas even the law
abiding unions show undeniable evil
dences of tyranny and oppression when
they are strong enough, while many
of the unions harbor and encourage
criminals in their efforts to force a
yoke of slavery upon the American
people. AS a public speaker lately
said: THE arrogance of the English
King that reused the fiery eloquence
of Otis, that inspired the immortal
declaration of Jefferson, that left War
rem dying on the slopes of Bunker Hill
was not more outrageous than the con-
ditions that a closed shop would force
upon the community. These men burst
into rebellion when the king did but
touch their pockets Imagine if you
can their indignant protest had he
sought to prohibit or, restrict their &C.
| cupation or determine the conditions
under which they should earn their
livelihood" and to assault, beat and
murder them, blow up their houses and
poison their food if they did not SUBJ
nit.
The public should also remember
that good true American citizens can
be found in the unions and that they
deprecate the criminal acts of their
fellow members, but they are often in
bad company.
Salt only hurts sore spots. So, the
honest, Iawabiding union man is not
hurt when the criminals are denounced.
but when you hear a union man "hol-
ler' because the facts are made public,
he has branded himself as either n
of the lawbreakers or a sympathizer,
and therefore with the mind of the
lawbreaker, and likely to become one
when opportunity offers. That is n
reason employers decline to hire such
men.
