IN life giants are usually wealSmind-
i, as well as frail of body. and as a
he they do not live long. Dwarfs;, on
ne other hand, are often nimble witted
md stand q good chance of longevity.
An Austrian empress. in the seven
teeth century took the whim to round
ap all tbe giants and dwarfs in her
empire and turn them in together. Ap-
prehension was expressed that the big
ones would terrify the small ones, but
it was the other way. The giants were
compelled ito ask for protection from
the inpish tricks of the dwarfs. and
they had to be separated before peace
reigned among them Philadelphia

i-iacing the Responsibility.

A small boy, not more than seven or
eight years of age, was once sent to
the office OF a Brooklyn school prn-
clpal for some offense The principal
saw that the little fellow had an an
usually straightforward and honest
appearance, so he concluded to lead M
70 the proper punishment for the young
Fender BY asking him few ques-
ions.
If you were a teacher what would

asked.

tolnnt.% replied the hoy.
What do YOU t!2al; the principal
lght to do with such a boy?' contin-
eel the eCestioner.
That's Up to you" was the reply.

THREE SPECIES OF MOOSE

TheS Are the European, the Eastern

There are supposed to be three spe

elk, found in northern Europe amp. adj

moose of eastern America, distinguish
ed chiefly from it's European congener

The Alaskan is a richly colored black,
gray and brown giant, not only the lar
gest deer alive today, but believed to be
the largest that ever did exist, since no
fossil has been found to equal it in
bulk. Its antlers differ chiefly in size
from those of the Canadian moose, but
Madison Grant claims that they are
also more complex and have in the
brow antlers a second PLANTATION which
Is set at right angles to that of the
main PLANTATION. In these peculiarities
he finds "a startling resemblance is
shown to the extinct cervalces, a
moose-like deer of pleistocene times,
probably ancestral to the genus alces.
eff this resemblance indicates any
close relationship, we have in the Alas
kan moose a survivor of the archaic
type from which the true moose and
Scandinavian elk have somewhat de
generated. Ernest Thompson Seton in

He Wanted to Know.

Scotchmen are fond of an argument,
and delight to find flaws in an oppo-a
nent's logic. Two blacksmiths were
once conversing as to which was the
first trade in the world. One insisted
that it must have been gardening, and
quoted from Genesis: Adam was put
into the garden of Eden to dress it
and keep it." Aye, John, /" retorted the
other, who had stood up for his own
trade, "but wila made the spades?'

OUR LANGUAGE UNIFORM.
While Great Britain. For Instance.
Has Many Different Languages.

Has Many Different Languages.
1t has been observed that the IAN
g,liat,e spoken in the United States is
Remarkably uniform. True, there are
many dialects, but Great Britain, less
in area than any one of half dozen Of
our states, contains such very differ
ent languages as English, Welsh and
the Gaelic of the Scottish highlands, to
say nothing of the provincial dialects
Of Cornwall and Yorkshire and the
unique speech of the London cockney,
while i'll this country, with it's vast eX-
panse of territory. its settlement by
Spanish, French, Dutch and Swedish
colonists and its millions Of immigrants
drawn from nearly every country, large
and small, all over the world, there is
far greater uniformity of speech than
in any other land Of equal area and
population
The causes can be readily seen The
public schools have made us q nation
Of readers, and the press has supplied
, books and papers without limit Press
associations have done their part to-
ward giving uniform and fairly good
tone to the newspaper language Of the
day. The telegraph, the telephone and
cheap postage have brought distant
parts OF the country into quick and
easy communication, and SO have aid
ed in teaching a common language.
The railroad has penetrated every cor
ner OF the land and made us a nation
Of travellers. Countless human shut
ties thus are thrown daily across the
land in every direction, carrying with
I, them the threads of thought and speech
and doing their part to make one pat
| tern of the whole. Nd doubt our maps,
which still present 50 many different
kinds of names, will in time lose the
| strangenes:, and the foreign air" that
are so noticeable now.-H. NJ. Kingery

RED WINGED SEA ROBINS.
They Are Among the Most Curious
Fish Along Our shores.


l suppose the popularity which would
be noticed first about the sea robin,
grunter or gurnard, as he is variously
called, would be his clumsy shape.
The head is large and deep in cons
garrison with the body. One Of our OBJ
, serving young folks, looking at him
alive IN his tank of the United States
fish commission, Washington, would
be apr to eXclailn, '.Oh, see, he has lit
tie hook claws which help him crawl
| nlong. Sure enough, just in front of
the pectoral or side fins are three little
| fngerlike processes on each side, which
are used to stir up weeds and sand
and rout out the small animals upon
| which the sea robin feeds in its native
| waters. While doing this ii seems to
| be crawling along over the bottom by
hooking these peculiar claws into the
| sand.
| Sea robins feed on small crabs, fish,
4 shrimps and other diminrtive animals
which they find among the loose stones.
In Europe all the gurnard family of
| fishes are eagerly sought, as they find
ready sale in the fish market They
attain length of two feet and Z
weight of eleven pounds. Our species
| Of the sea robin. a cousin to the Euro
pean variety, is found on our northern
coast and is taken in great numbers
in the pound nets along Vineyard sound,
where they spawn during the summer
months.
They are much esteemed for the
! table, being one of the most deiicate
of the edible fishes. The flesh is firm,
snow white and hard to distinguish
from that of the kingfsh. The Amer
tcan sea robins are fifteen to eighteen
inches long and weigh from one and
/ one-fourth to two pounds. When taken
from the water they grunt quite loudly
| and If placed on the ground give a
little hop forward of a few inches,
grullting as they do so. This grrlnting
| sound can be heard quite plainly if
one is in boat lying quietly in shall
! low water near where they are.
i, The head is sheathed with bony
plates and armed With sharp points,
which are rather hard to distinguish
! at first as they lie quite fiat against it.
| When caught they erect all their spines
and intlict very painful wounds on
those who try to handle them. The
| pectoral fins are Il little more than half
as long as the body and may be eX:
tended like Il fan when in use OF fold
ed quite close together when Oh the
bottom. thus giving them the name OF
| butterfly fish.
The rays of the tail may also be
much extended to look like japanese
| fan.
| The color of this peculiar fish is d
| brownish yellow over the back and
\ sides and cream White below. The
pectoral fins are deep orange color
with a blackish marking toward the
| tips, crossed all over with little dark
brown lines and edged with light vel
