They Live in Tubes.

There is a curious group of worms
inhabiting the seashores, which at
tach to themselves along the length
of the body, bits of shell, sand and
minute pebbles, thus forming a sheath,
tubular house into which they may
retreat. From this funny chimney
like mineral rag-carpet-th worm
expands it's breathing organs at the
top where a beautiful waving bush of
flesh-colored or scarlet tentacles or
gills are seen moving softly in the
clear water The worm is two to four
inches long, of pale-red tint, and
with markings on the back like lace
work The striking terebella of the
North Atlantic coast is common
among and under rocks, and on mud
dy shores, and nothing will surprise
the strolling naturalist more than this
gay and ornamental worm in it's
quaint sef-made honest. Nicholas.

fisherman, left him in the boat, tell.
ing him to watch the nets. While
Alonzo did this he also did something
else his master one day discovered.
He marked pieces of linen with letters
and designs. A ring which he had
found one day upon the shore served
as stamp for these designs, but what
attracted the attention of Alonzo's
master was that they were made in
color not then known-the color
purple.
The master inquired how this color
had been obtained.
Alonzo could not explain any better
than by showing how it was done. He
dropped the ring into the Shiny matter
of a shell fish. The mantle of this
creature had been torn in some way
and the Shiny matter was oozing from
It, This made marks on the linen
which, when dried by the sun, turned
into purple. This color was adopted
by the king of the country where
Alonzo lived as the color of royalty,
and has thus remained to this day.

Fun With a Comb.

Every boy and girl using comb to
smooth out tangled locks on a cold
morning has heard and wondered at
the electricity that crackles as the
comb passes through the hair. This
property of the comb can be used in
an interesting little experiment. Cut
out lot of little paper figures. On
the next cold day, when your hair be-
gins to snap and stand on end in it's
effort to follow the comb, hold the
comb over the figures. The little pup
pets Immediately appear to be en-
dowed with life. They commence to
jump and dance, or stick to each other
and the comb as if fastened with glue.
Often little figure will stand on it's
head; another fixing itself by one
hand, hold it's tiny form upright in a
comical fashion; sometimes they will
form themselves into long strings and
go through all manner of seemingly
intelligent movements.-Exchang

A Heavy Load to Carry.

Along with dyspepsia comes nervous
ness and general ill-health. Why? Be-
cause dlsordered stomach does not per-;
NIT the food to be properly digested, and
its products assimilated by the system.
The blood is charged with posons which
come from this disordered digestion, and
in turn the nerves are not fed on good,
red blood, and we see symptoms OF nery-
BUSINESS, sleeplessness and general break
down. 1t is not head work, nor over ply
steal exertion that does it, but poor stom-
ach work. With poor, thin blood the
body is not protected against the attack
of germs of grip. bronchitis and consump-
ton. Fortify the body at once with DIR.

The Story of the Pioneer.

One morning early in 1909 an old
pioneer emerged from his log cabin.
Before him stretched the Atlantic
ocean and behind him the high office
buildings of New York and Phila-
delphia shone in the last rays of the
westering sun. Suddenly from the
waves there appeared three big round
heads. Long tusks protruded from
the jaws.
"Walrus!" exclaimed he, las sure
as Napoleon was licked at Waterloo"
as the brutes galloped up the beach
toward him.
He fastened into his cabin, seized
his gun and fired seven shots as fast
as he could pull the trigger. The

LION AFRAID OF THE OSTRICH
kIna of Beasts Inferior to Bird In
Fighting Qualities.

There Is only one thing OF which the
lion is afraid, according to Schillings,
the young German African traveller.
and that is the ostrich. The bird is
more feet than the quadruped, and 1t
can deliver its terrible kick with the
precision and impact Of pugilist's
blow and spring away till 1t gets an
other opening. Such tactics naturally
disgust the superior being. The lion
has a weakness, however, for ostrich
eggs and will make meal OF them
whenever the vigilance Of the parent
birds is relaxed. Schillings saw lion
once with the tempting pile OF eggs
before him, and he was about to re-
gale himself when the owners OF the
property appeared and the beast skunk
of like whipped cur. Schillings con-
siders 1t Is an open question whether
the hunting Of the lion, leopard, buffa.
10, elephant or rhinoceros Is the most
dangerous. On the whole, however,
he thinks that If he were hunting
without supporting rifles In the hands
of really great hunters he would
rather take his chance with any OF
them than with the rhinoceros. This
animal is remarkably feet, consider
ing its bulk, and when 1t makes a
charge it Is next to impossible to get
away from it. Then is the time when
a comrade with a good gun and steady
nerve is needed to distract the ami
mails attention.
