Fishes Defensive Armor.

Two fairly we'll defended creatures
now before me serve to explain that
fish are generally seized as prey from
above, because nature invariably puts
the armor where it is most needed.
One of these is the horned shark,
which has two defensive spears, each
high up on separate dorsal fin; and
the other is the trigger fish.
In both cases the bayonets are
pointed for the enemy as when bat
talon receives the order to prepare
to receive cavalry. But the trigger
fish has a sort of pocket knife attach
ment for his. 1t folds down into a
groove which reaches along his back,
exactly as the blade of a penknife'
may be turned down when its use is
not required.
The trigger fish is a huge head
propelled by short, broad tail with
no intermediate body to speak of;
and in this questionable shape he
seems as unlike true product of ma
ture as the animals of the heraldry
office. He received his name when
muskets were of an ancient pattern.
and when he is at full cock he Is not
to be trified with.-Los Angeles Times.

Follows a Night of Riot
at Hamilton, Ont.
PITCHED BATTLES
In the Streets Resulted in the Injury
of Scores of Rioters and the
Arrest of Many Others.

Hamilton, Ont. = Sunday was
marked by unusual quiet on the
streets, contrasted with the riotous
scenes of Friday and Saturday which
marked the strike of street railway
employees here.
Some cars ran during the day and
evening. In the outlying districts
some stones were thrown and blank
cartridges were exploded under the
wheels, but there were no hostile DEM
onstrations. The soldiers camped in
the armory under arms awaiting q riot
call and the police reserves at the city
hall probably contributed towards the
peaceful day. The officials of the rail-
way company do not believe the trou-

WHERE WOMAN SHOWS GENIUS.
Tribute To Her Wonderful Aptitude
For Selecting Gifts.

"If there's one thing" said the OBJ
servant benedict, that shows the diff
ference between the masculine and
the feminine makeup it's the way that
men and women approach the matter
of giving presents. Men, as matter
of fact, don't approach it at all, They
just leap into it when it is impossible
to avoid it further. But your true
woman, who of course Is thoughtful
woman, never has gifts out of her
mind for day or so at time. Christ
mas and birthday serve only as out
let's for her; she's in a state of con-
stant preparation for them. Last July
/ was on one of my frequent shop
ping tours with my wife. One of the
first things she said was, There's just
the fur neck piece for Aunt Molly!.
/ remarked that / didn't know Aunt
Molly was in any special need of fur
in midsummer My wife looked at me
scornfully, Why, If didn't start get
ting my Christmas presents now,' she
replied where would be in Novem-
ber?' Naturally / had nothing to say
in return. u
And as for making things! Bless
your heart the women are always
making things for each other. They
have the law of association better
developed than we have; they know
what people need, and, what's more.
they act upon the knowledge. I've
got good many men friends, I'm
glad to say, and l suppose l know
their tastes in general way, but d
be scared to death to buy anything
for any one Of them. They feel the
same about me, guess, but my wife
knows just the thing for each one of
the relatives or women friends that
she remembers; at least, that's what
they all say in their notes of thanks.
IT'S genius, that's what it is,
this faculty of gift making. The
women have it and we haven't;
that's all. The few days before
Christmas are like a nightmare to me.
and I'd be lost entirely at that fes-
tive season If hadn't my wife to help
me out. There's one thing though,
in which she can't be Of any assist
ance, and that's the getting of a pres
ent for her that will be just what she
wants and a surprise TO boot. And my
efforts to get this desideratum aren't
helped by the positive knowledge that
she has had any present decided upon
AID picked out weeks or months
ahead."-N. Y. Herald.
