A SnRiI,a Sense nf Smell

Professor E. Yung of Geneva discov- cred that the keen sense of smell attrib- uted to the ordinary snail is distributed over the entire body not covered by the shell, the two pairs of tentacles, the lips and the edges of the feet being particularly sensitive. In the expert odorous substances in turn was brought near the different parts of the body, and responses were noted at distances of one twenty-fifth of an inch to several inches. Only in exceptional cases was odor perceived as much as fifteen or twenty inches away, showing that smell cannot guide these creatures to food far removed.

claimed Amena as sne drew neF into the room.
 Certainly. There was a little bit of romance in connection with the ring made out of dime that thought you would be interested in,' began Mrs. Berkley without any preKminaries as soon as she was seated. T first met MT. Berkley on a street car. pulled out dime to pay the conductor when it slipped from my fingers and fell to the floor. Joe Berkley, who was sitting near, sprang up to search for it, but just then the car stopped at my desti- nation, and had no time to wait for the lost coin. Mir. Berkley slipped a nickel into my hand, saying he would pay my fare and keep the dime when he found it. I thanked him and left the car. The next day we met on the car again, and of course 1t was natural that I should ask him if he had found the dime. He had, and this opened the way for further conversation. We met often after this, and-well, you know the rest. Mir. Berkley had the dime made into a ring, and he asked me to wear it always.
 "You see why I prize it above any diamond ring he could give me-" Her voice was full of feeling as she fin ished.
 "How fine"' Amelia's eyes were shin ing with new light. "No. the kind of a ring does not matter, after all," she added softly as If. to herself. "I be lieve I will tell Bob that I prefer the ring set with my birthday stone; he really could not afford the diamond anyway"

The Mineral Jade.

Most people have probably seen jade ornaments without having a very clear Idea of the material of which such things are composed. Jade Is an ex- ceedingly tough but beautiful mineral much of which is found in China. It is of five colors. the most highly prized jade being the white, yellow and green varieties. The rarest of all Is red jade, but this Is so scarce that it has no place in market valuations. The mineral Is frequently found in the beds of streams, and in searching for it Mohammedans are generally employed. as 1t is be lieved that people of this faith are sen- sitive to its presence, and, like the dowsers or water finders. are affected with shuddering fits when passing over a place where jade Is to be found.

Love P1.nt. os we.t YuA,e..

"Did you ever hear of the love plant?" asked sea captain who was showing several visitors over his craft the other day. "I have several in the cabin''
 He showed three small leaves at tached to the ceiling by strings. They were without any soil or foundation, but were green, and from each there sprouted a dozen or more little leaves, greener and fresher than the main leaf itself.
 During our last cruise In the West Indies," the captain continued, 'T vis- ited deserted English fortress, which was grown over with shrubbery. A native plucked several leaves from a vine and told me to hang them some where and write the name of my best girl on them. If they die,' he said, she does not love you. If they sprout, she does.' put my wife's name on one and my two daughters names on the others.

Bird song..

Naturalists have long been puzzled as to how birds learn to sing. Does 1t come natural to a bird of a certain species to sing the song common to it's kind or does 1t learn to initiate what ever song it most hears during the early days of it's life? Experiments made by a well known student of bird life proved that most birds sfmpiy learn by imitation. He placed young linnets to be reared by skylarks, woodlands, titlarks and other breeds, and in every case the linnet learned the song of his foster parents. Again, number of lin nets were reared where they had no chance of hearing the song of any bird at all. In due course they began to sing, but their song was entirely original. The cuckoo, however, seems to be an exception, for although it is almost invariably reared by foster parents of any species but it's own, 1t always sings to perfection it's own peculiar song, quite uninfuenced by the vocal efforts of it's guardians.

Origin of the Strike Fund.

The earliest mention of strike fund occurred in the strike of the Parisian stocking weavers in 1724, when a crown day was subscribed for every striker and all blacklegs were merci- lessly boycotted. But the biggest strike under the ancient regime" was that of the silk factory hands at Lyons in 1744, when 12,OOO men went on strike and so alarmed the mayor that he conceded everything they asked and wrote to his brother that he had "la tete cassee par cette vile canaille" :" The 'vile canaille," however, had had their moment, and it was no longer theirs. Two months later the king sent down 10000 soldiers "pour re- metre Pordre dans la bonneville de Lyon," and we hear no more of strikes till the supreme strike of 17S9.

A Rhapsody on a Mutton Chop.


 When a primitive man wants break fast he takes a sheep, kneels upon 1t, holds 1t between his legs and cuts it's throat. He skins 1t, and, taking slice out of 1t, fries it on the coals for break fast. We also demand not less imper- atively outlets for our breakfast. but we manage it another way. We pro- cure an individual some way off to kill the beast and another out of our sight to cook it. We have paper frill put around the bone to disguise it, and set pot of flowers straight before us to look at while we eat it; but, to the sheep-to the sheep-it can make little difference which way it is eaten. We still do our unclean work. but we do 1t by proxy. And It may be questioned whether what we gain in refinement we have not lost in sincerity.-Fort- nightly Review.

Animals Clever With Their Feet

Goats are the most sure footed of our native animals. They can walk up- right where the average human being would not crawl. Horses are the dain- tiest treaders, however. though they cannot climb. No horse will step on a man if it can possibly help it. It is standing rule in cavalry regiments that if trooper Is dismounted he must remain perfectly still, when the whole column passes over him without injur- ing him. Camels are careless, on the other hand, and the man who came out unharmed from under the feet of a camel corps was not born to be run over by any beast or vehicle.
