FISHES HAVE VARIOUS NAMES.
Known by Different AppeIIatlons in
Different Localities.

Many fishes are known by several
names, even within narrow geograph
ical limits. The "greentail" of the
Delaware bay is the "oh why" of the
Chesapeake and the "mossy banker
Of the Jersey coast.
Among the most curious of these
many-named fishes is one known on
the coast of Maine as "monk-fish," by
Massachusetts fishermen as goose
fish," by Rhode Islanders as the bel
lows fish" in Connecticut as the mol
ligut," in North Carolina as the all
mouth"
On the other side of the Atlantic ii
is called wide gut" kettle nav and
other names.
Excepting that of monk fish," all
these names are suggested by the
tish's characteristics or practices. Its
adult length is about four feet, its
weight about 40 pounds.
The fish is a glutton, with no finely
discriminating palate. 1t is said to
bolt the wooden buoy of lobster pot
with an apparent satisfaction equal
to that with which it swallows a
mackerel.
Dogfsh, sculpins, squids, crabs and
Holsters are items in its ordinary diet
Its Massachusetts name is said to
have been given it because of its prac-
tice of swallowing geese.
Seven wild ducks are said to have
been taken from the stomach of one of
these fish, which had pulled them
down one by one from the surface of
the water.
The fish habitually turks upon the
bottom, though it is occasionally seen
near the surface. 1t is sluggish in its
ordinary movements, but very quick
and ready with its powerful jaws and
well-fitted by nature for its mode of
life
Its margins have long fringes,
which sway in the currents like vege-
table sea-growth, deceiving the un-
wary prey.

tail the goods he has to sell, and
quotes the price be asks for it will
attract the favorable attention of the
public far more often than the one
who deals only in generalities. 1t is
this kind of advertising that pays. It
is this kind of advertising that is at.
tracing the dollars from the smaller
cities and towns and farms to the mail
order houses of the city. 1t is this
kind of advertising that drew $780,
100000 into the Golfers of the Chicago
mail'order houses alone last year, and
it is this kind of advertising on the
part of the local merchants that the
mail-order houses fear more than any
other one thing.
But, Mr.. Merchant, whether your
line be hardware, dry goods, groceries,
clothing or other commodities, 1t is
well to go further than your newspa-
per advertising, though this is the
foundation of success. Go to the local
printer and have him make you little
catalogues of your own. They do not
need to be large affairs, but small
folders of four, eight or 16 pages. Put
hlto these folders the descriptions and
prices of the goods you are carrying,
or leaders in the line. Be sure that
the prices quoted are right, then put
one of these into the hands of every
customer; keep them circulating
throughout the community, and make
practice of getting out new one
every few weeks.
You, Mr. Merchant, can make adver-
tising pay larger returns than the
mail-order man secures; you can make
it the mainstay of your business, and
you can make it the means of killing
the mail-order competition in your
community. And when you do this
do not begrudge the publisher the
reasonable price he asks you for ade-
quate space in his columns. He will
give you better value than any other
commodity you can buy.

Worshined as peities.

Snakes, the objects of terror to
most Europeans in eastern lands, are
worshiped in most parts of India. In
some districts there are from $4,000
to 10000 shrines dedicated exclusive,
ly to the worship of snakes. These
shrines, which are invariably in honor
of one of the minor divinities of the
country, possess, in some instances,
valuable properties for their mainten-
ance and for the cost Of the numerous
ceremonies which their keepers have
to perform. In these shrines the Hin
dus set up fantastic idols of serpents.
The devotees of this strange religion
make periodical offerings of dough
and milk and cooked rice to the ser.
pents living in the shrine, in order to
receive their favor.

"My little son, when about a year

POPULAR APPROVAL OF THEFT.
English Writer Sees Significance in
GIorification OF Robbers.

The idea Of private property has
never been fully accepted by the
masses of the people, and never had
their cordial approval as an institu-
ton, says a writer in the London
News. The most popular songs and
ballads of our nation in all ages, it
may be noted, have been those which
described sympathetically attacks on
private property, from the Robin Hood
cycle to the broadsheets in which
Turpin and Sheppard were made
heroeB.
Even nowadays the literature that
really touches the people, the litera.
ture that the educated classes seldom
so much as see exposed for sale, the
literature that is sold in the small
general" shop in the back street, and
costs fewer pennies than the novel we
know costs shillings, still verv largely
deals with the romantic exploits of
the robber. He is never a villain; he
is noble and generous to fault; but
he is convinced of the impropriety of
persons having too much money.

A specimen of the Cape hunting dog
Lycaon pictus, has lately been added
to the menagerie in the London Zoolog
ical gardens, says the Rhodesia Her
aid. 1t is an animal which does not
take kindly to captivity and the indi
viduals that from time to time have
reached the collection have ever been
short lived. This species bears a
strong resemblance to hyena, not
only in its markings, but in the gen,
ly slim in build and with long limbs
The broad and rather flat head ends
in short muZzle; the ears are very
large. The ground color of the coat,
which is rather scantily haired, is yel
lowish; the markings, which are dis.
posed about the body and limbs in a
very irregular manner, are short
streaks and blotches of black, white
and gray. The tail is OF a fair length,
somewhat thickly haired and ends in
a whitI6h tuft. The muzzle is black
and black stripe runs down between
the eyes. The Cape hunting dog has a
wide range in Africa south and east of
the Sahara desert. 1t is wonderfully
swift footed and hunts its prey in reg
ular packs. Large antelopes are easily
run down by these packs and domestic
sheep and cattle need strong protec-
tion against the depredations of the
"hyena dog"

HOW TO ADVERTISE
EFFECTIVE METHODS THAT WILL
BRING RESULTS.
SHOULD TELL THE PRICES
GeneraIities Are Meaningless to the
Public-Why the MaiI-order Man
Wins-Try the Plan.

If you, Mr. Merchant, would compete
with the mail-order houses there are
three main essentials to success-the
goods-the prices-advertising.
The last of these is quite as essen
tial as either of the others.
In the great majority of cases the
local merchant has the goods, and he
makes the prices, but in very many
cases he either fails to do the adver-
tising, or what he does do is not effec-
tive in the same way that the mail
order mans advertising is effective.
The writing of effective advertising
is not an art, it is not business that
requires years of study to learn. A
few hours of study and comparison
will give you every essential detail
that you will need
1t is comparatively safe to say that
IS per cent of the advertising carried
by local merchants in the local papers
is worded in generalities only. Such
advertisements as the following are
found in every paper:

THOUGHT HIM A LUNATlc.
Mans Queer tumble of Words War
ranted the Inference.

Prof. William Lyon Phelps of Yale
recently told this story at New Ha.
ven's chamber of commerce banquet:
A hard drinker was told by his doctor
that he could be cured if every time
he felt that he must have a drink he
would Immediately take something to
eat instead.
The man followed the advice and
was cured, but the habit of asking for
food had become so fixed with him
that once he was nearly locked up as
a lunatic. He was stopping at hotel
and, hearing a great commotion in the
room next to his, he peeped over the
transom to see what the matter was.
He saw, and rushed madly down to
the Office and shouted to the clerk:
The man in 153 has shot himself!
Ham and egg sandwich, please!"-

Maine Woman Has Pet Deer.

Mrs. Nellie Smith, of Sebec, Me-,
has tame deer which is nearly two
years old now, but which she has
raised like a cosset lamb, feeding 1t
from a bottle at first and making a
great pet of it. 1t was given to her
by a lumberman, who overlook it in
the deep snow and caught it in his
arms when it was no larger than
cat. except for its legs. 1t has always
been perfectly tame and domesticated,
never having known anything of the
wild life of its kind, but runs about
the premises unrestraincd having its
place in the stable on cold nights
The deer are numerous around SebeC
and it is question whether as Mrs
Smiths pet grows older, it will not
answer to the call of the wild and
join its comrades in the forest.
