The ancients supposed that the seal
enjoyed immunity from lightning. and
among those who borrowed the protec-
ton OF its skin was the Emperor -Au-
gustus, who always wore a belt of seal
fur. The idea arose from the fancy
that the seal sleeps most profoundly in
thunderstorms. The crab was believed
by the anclents to grow only during the
waxing of the moon, and this is still q
current belief, the writer having found
It In various parts OF this country, par
ticuiarlv in Alaska. This seems to
have more foundation than the belief
that in thunderstorns Holsters cast
their large cutting claws. The brain
Of the carp was supposed by the an
clients TO grow and diminish as the
moon yvaxed and waned. Pearls we're
supposed to be sea dew which the oys-
ter drank in and by some mystic chem
istry transformed into gems, which
were soft until the sun shone on them
and then they hardened. It was sup.
posed that on cloudy nights the oyster
secreted dark pearls and on moonlight
nights clear white pearls

A Picture of TennyEon.

A writer who once saw Lord Tenny-
son ON the platform of a railway sta
lion says of him: HE would have been
tall, but his shoulders seemed some
what bent. His hair was long; so was
his beard. He wore an ugly Inverness
sane and n large SLOUGH hat. He looked
ike bandit in Il melodrama. and l
thought him some poor actor who had
come out IN some of the stage proper
ties. he seemed SO sad 1 felt quite
sorry for him rs 1 watched him walk
up and down the platform"

Colonel Evans I'm his book on Calitor-

one of the most violent diseases which
ever attacked the human system 1t
has been the undoins OF many an ex-
DerIenced hunter, hut In the case cited
by Colonel Evans it proved to be the
making OF reputation
A farmer in Illinois named wheeler
had never fred gun. One winter,
however. he heard so much talk about
the snort of hunting that his ambition
became excited, and, borrowing gun
he started out. When he came Dack
he brought a magnificent buck, shot
by himself square IN the middle OF the
forehead. He said little about his
achievement, but got the credit OF be
ing crack shot, reputation which,
although he went hunting no more, ne
held for several years
Then one day he told his story and
lost his name as q sportsman
He had seen n doe drinking out OF
creek Mt the foot OF blum about. TWEEN
~ feet high. With wild excitement he
rot his gun to his shoulder, shut his
ewes. set-his teeth and pulled the trig-
ger. To his astonishment he saw tle
Toe hound away unhurt, while ut the
same time a glorious buck pitched
headlonG from the blur into the creek
stone dead.
The buck had been looking down nj
the doe. and Wheeler had not seen
aim ut all, but his shaking gun sent its
shot on a fatal, although unintendeo'
errand

Even n II ne Emotional Insanity,
let us Have tsIenty 81 II.
Some English scientist has reached
the conclusion that laughter Is tnsan-
lily. he regards a ftt Of laughter as an
emotional insanity of short duration.
All right, then. give rs little more In
sanity. There IS not laughter enough
In the world at least the right kind Of
laughter. We win let the Englishmen
keep their faces straight II they want
to, but It beffts the American civIlIza-
ton better to break out into laughter
once In awhile. Laughter IS good for
the facial muscles. It develops the
muscles OF the neck as well as the face.
It makes the corners of the mouth turn
upward instead Of downward 1t gives
the wrinkles of the face pleasing ont
line, quickens the action of the heart
md gives new life to the nerve centers.
Yes, we can AFFORD to let the English
man look wise and fdiotic IL he wants
to. He can stnre with fish eyed big
otry whenever joke Is perpetTnted,
never allowing ripple of merriment
to disturb the pIacIdity Of his counte-
nance He can do all these things that
he wishes to. but let us go on laugh
ing. This kind of insanity mixes very
well with sanity and prosaic life A
little burst of emotional insanity breaks
nicely the monotony of facts and hg-
ures.-Nfedical Talk.

terests; certain blitheness Is catered for
during the summer months. The curved
front Is like fairy shore every night with
its string Of little colored electric lights.
stretching from end to end of the espla-
made and out to sea along the sides of the
promenade pier. Lights are also reflected
in the waters from both the other piers.
undulating like little streams of fluid gold.
and the inherent prose of English exist
ence and manners is temporarily overpow-
cred by the poets effect of soft and ca
PRECIOUS illumination. In the morning Dover
allows mixed bathing. There are also two
bands playing-one on the promenade pier
and one in Granville Gardens. On the pier,

given in the afternoons and evenings. the
