Although the name of Biddle is a
well known one to many besides the
select of Philadelphia, New York,
Boston, Washington, Baltimore and
elsewhere, it seems that this magic
name conveyed only dense confu-
sion to an Englishman once visit
ing the City of Brotherly Love, as
proved by the following little story:
After sojourn for week in that
quiet but delightful place, where he
was feted and honored to his hearts
content, he asked a friend confden-
TALLY: "Can you tell me what they
mean here by bidder / hear it
continually and on all sides-tShe is
a biddle,' ooh, he is a biddle, you
nowp They are all night, Of
course; they are biddles.' Now,
what in the name of all that is un-
mentionable is q biddle ?"

While il ( 1zz5adaiiy conceded that
puns belong to "the lowest order Of
wit" there have been puns which
can hardly be classified in this way.
One Of these is said to have been
made by jeffrey Keller, an Irish
lawyer, who was more noted for his
wit than for eminence in his chosen
profession. A lawyer of the name
Of Mayne, who was a highly respect
ed but decidedly heavy person, had
risen to a judgeship, while Keller,
who had entered on his legal career
at about the same time with Mayne,
was still much in want Of clients
and fees. He was in q courtroom
one day when Mayne was solemnly
presiding, and he turned to q friend
who sat beside him and plucked at
his sleeve.
"see there" he whispered. "There
sits Mayne, risen by his gravity, and
here sits Keller, sunk by his levity.

SEA MONSTERS.

OF all the big game of the deep
sea that have been taken by man
the cuttlefish are the most diabolical
in shape and general appearance,
says the Metropolitan Magazine. |
have handled and measured one that
was thirty-eight feet in length, a
weird, spiderlike creature with two
untennaelike arms thirty feet in
length. Specimens of these animals
have been caught seventy feet in
length, the captors fighting them
with. an ak, cutting the arms which
seized and held the boat.
Off the coasts of California and
Alaska there is a deep sea ally Of
this animal-a big, spiderlike octo-
pus that haunts the deep banks,
preying upon the fishes most es-
teemed by fishermen. 1t is found
off the Farralones on rocky bottom,
and at times the fishermen haul in
their lines, thinking they have foul
ed stone or rock, SO heavy is the
weight But when the surface is
reached long, livid arms shoot above
the water, seize the boat, and the
men are forced to fight with knives
and hatchets the weird, uncanny
game that has radial spread of thir-
ty feet, its eight sucker lined arms
being fifteen feet in length and pos
sessed of extraordinary power. A
specimen taken off the island of San
Clemente had a spread of about
twenty feet and gave the boatmen q
hard battle to sever its flying arms.
Nothing more diabohcal can be
conceived than this spiderlike giant
of the deep sea, living among the
rocks 600 to 1000 feet below the
surface. An individual of moderate
size, which l kept alive, displayed
the greatest pugnacity. The mo-
ment / approached it would literally
hurl itself at my arm, winding its
long tentacles about it in a manner
suggestive of what a large individual
might do. Indeed DR.. A. S. Pack
ard, professor of zoology at Brown
university, says: Gan Indian wo-
man at Victoria, Vancouver Island,
in 1877 was seized and drowned by
an octopus, probably of this species,
while bathing on the shore. Smaller
specimens on coral reefs sometimes
seize collectors or natives and, fas-
tening to them with their relentless
suckered arms, tire and brighten to
death the hapless victim"

Two Successes.

An honest exchange of compli-
ments is always an agreeable thing.
A New England minister recently
married had desired one of his neigh
bors to secure horse to be driven
in the new phaeton which the cler-
gyman had bought with view to
his brides pleasure.
The minister's wife made her first
appearance at church on the Sun
day after the wedding and was ap-
proved by the entire congregation
for her sweet face and simple man
ner.
The next afternoon the minister
took his bride to drive, and, passing
his neighbor on the road, he stop
ped to say pleasantly:
"You bought us very good
horse, and we thank you for that
Mr.. Wilson"
"You're welcome" said the par
ishioner, with gravity, "and you've
chosen an excellent minister's wife,
sir, which is about as difficult. The
whole parish thanks you for that"

jenkins was half frantic with
toothache, and as he stood before
the glass examining the offending
molar he was really quite startled
at his enormously large mouth. It
was SO big that it positively fright
ened him. He thought the best
thing he could do would be to swal-
low himself and so put an end to his
pain. On calmer reflection he de-
termined to visit the dentist. When
he was in the fatal chair and the
dentist had his forceps and hammer
in his hand panic seized poor Jen-
kins. He began to twist, stretch
and move his enormous mouth
about in such a frightening way
that the operator became alarmed.

mouth any WIDER" he said kindly.

QUAINT BRITTANY.
Queer Old superstitiens That Survive
Among tho Natives.

among tho Natives.
The Brittany folk doubtless hold
10 more old superstitions and ira
litions than any other people of the
civilized world. They have the
greatest faith in divination also.
II Brittany person would know
the number of enemies he has he
takes twenty-five new cambria nee
dies, places them in a deep platter
or dish, being careful to arrange
them in such a manner that no two
of the needles touch each other, and
then pours water over them to the
depth of half an inch or so. The
number of needles that cross each
other during this process designates
the number of the experimenter's
enemies.
If the Brittany man wishes to
know the length of his life he will
gather a fresh fig leaf, writing on it
with his finger nail. the question,
GLOW long shall l ive?" Then the
leaf is placed on a shelf or in some
place where it is safe from hand or
wind and allowed to wither up. If
this is done rapidly the OWNERS
life is numbered by days or by
weeks, but if the process of wither-
ing is long one the OWNERS life
is to reach the threescore and ten
mark without doubt.
To cure a child of toothache or
the collie in Brittany there is a
strange remedy. 1t is called the
"touch of the molefed hand" The
"molefed hand" is obtained in this
way: Catch a mole and squeeze it
to death in the palm of the hand.
While the hand is still warm from
contact with the tortured animal
the magic is worked by placing the
palm on the afflicted part of the SUI
fering child.
One of the oldest of Brittany
folks old superstitions is the magic
of the travellers walking stick. "
The secret of possessing the much
coveted stick is set forth here:
"Take thick, straight branch
of elder, extract the pith, then sab
stitute as filling the eyes of a wolf,
the tongue and heart of a dog, three
green lizards and the hearts of
three swallows, all of these having
been reduced to powder by the sun
as they lay folded between two pa
pers sprinkled heavily with saltpe-
ter. On top of this paper during
the drying process place seven
leaves of vervain gathered on the
eve of st. John the Baptist, togeth-
er with a stone of divers colors,
which is found in the nest of a
lapwing" 1t is said that this odd
ly prepared stick, by name "the
travellers walking stick" will pro-
cure food and lodging wherever its
owner desires to stop in his wander
ings.-Exchange.
