Jacksonville, June "a. l.. Vaner-
cook, special agent OF the bureau Of
census, Washington, was in Jackson
vile taking a census of all boats,
yachts and other craft, five tons and
over, registered.
Mr. VanercOOk is now in Miami and

work here among the vessels along
the St. Johns river.
The census is being taken under
an act of the last congress. apprO-
priating the sum of S76,000.000 for
harbor and river improvements, and
prescribing that a census of all the
boats over five tons in the Unitei

Openiru His Hand.

William Penn was once urging a
man he knew to stop drinking to eX-
cess when the man suddenly asked.
Can you tell me OF an easy way TO do
IT, Yes" Penn replied readily; 1T
is just as easy as to open thy hand,
friend" Convince me of that" the
man explained. "and vii promise up-
on my honor to do as you tell me-"
well. my friend" Penn answered.

IN thy hand open that hand before the
glass touches thy lips, and thee will
never drink to excess again."

HAPPINESS.
The Difference Between the Sexes Or
This Important State.

This Important State.
One source of women's happiness is
to be found, we think, in their love of
detail. They enjoy every detail of So
cial life. They love the minutiae Of
their work. They do not love it as a
man loves his, for the sake of an end.
They look close at what they are do
ing, and they do not look forward.
They take pleasure in their children
as they are. A defect. even though it
be serious one, destroys their pleas
TIRE in them far less than it destroys
that of man. They are not constant
~ oppressed by the thought of what
that defect will mean in the future.
If a woman is by nature apprehensive
her fears apply for the most part to
little things. If a man is apprehensive
he fears when the fit is upon him the
debacle of heaven and earth For wo-
men time goes a little slower. They
take pleasure in each jewel of that
mosaic which makes up happiness and
are not fretted because the pattern is
not complete. OF this quality they
have, no doubt, the inevitable defects
much brilliance, little grasp and a
tendency to frivolity. They are apt to
fritter away their lives and minds on
little things. They become engrossed
with the details of play as we'll as the
details of work. Men no doubt have
more opportunities of keen pleasure
than women have, but these opportuni-
ties are short lived. The happiness of
the moment they are less fitted to take.
The difference between the sexes in
this particular might, we believe, be
thus summed up: A man is happy
whenever he has anything to make him
happy, but a woman is happy when
ever she has nothing to make her IN
happy.-London Spectator.

How Beetles Defend Themselves.

Beetles have other defenses than
their cuirass. such as nauseOus OF cdus-
tic liquids. which they expel on provo
cation. and. strange to say. certain bee
ties actually exude their blood, charged
with noxious products. The practice
is confined to the chrysomeIidae, some
of the timarchae and adamonia, the
coccinelidae and the meIoidae The
blood Of the coccInelidae has a strong,
disagreeable odor like that of the whole
insect That of the timarchae is odor-
less. but has an astringent favor. and
IN the case of the Timarchae primeli-
odes is venomOus. The blood of the
meioidae contains much cantharidine-

SHELLS THAT SWIM.
These Peculiar Fish Are Mostly Con
fined to Tropical Seas.

These Peculiar Fish Are Mostly Con-
fined to Tropical Seas.
The idea of shells being found any
where else except upon the seabeach
or in river beds is a little startling.
Yet the naturalist who pursues his
work from a ship in midocean can and
does collect shells by the thousand at
every dip of his net or bucket.
Swimming shellfish are mostly con-
fined to tropical seas. The most ia
miliar is the nautilus, which is, how
ever, not a shellfsh at all, but near
relation of the cuttlefsh; also it is
only seen on the surface at certain
time of the year. The real ocean she'll
fish are mostly very small. In the In
dian ocean they may be seen by mill
lions. One which bears the appalling
name of Cavolinia trispinosa has the
odd popularity of coming to the sur
face at sharp every evening. An
other, the Cleodora tridentata, rises

FraiI as these tiny shellfish are, no
storm ever Injuries them. They all
possess the peculiar power Of being
able at will to sink a few feet below
the surface of the sea. and there they
remain when gales blow, perfectly
safe, and rise again when the weather
improves.
The largest of these ocean swim
mers is about three inches in length.
Almost all are most brilliant in color
and their shells far Trailer and more
glossy than those found upon the sea-

A RARE BIRD.
Why an American Snowman Could
Not Get Ii For His Museum.


Not Get 1t For His Museum.
When the eminent French writer
Ferdinand Brunetiere visited the Unit
ed States some years ago, lecturing at
Harvard and other leading universi-
ties, he had an amusing experience,
which he described in the recollectiOns
of his American tour which he after
ward published. The great htterateur
devoted much attention to the life and
works of BoSsuet, who was often styled
the Eagle of Meaux." on account per-
hapS of his lofty flights of eloquence.
This fact, with others pertaining TO
his literary career. was mentioned by
some daily papers during his stay in
this country 1t caught the eyes of
shrewd American Snowman, who. how
ever, got somewhat mixed over the
meaning of the aIlusion. He wrote the
following letter TO the French author:
Sir-I have just heard that a certain
Meaux eagle. very celebrated, it appears.
in your country, has become your eX-
elusive property. Now, l am the man
ager of a museum in one of the largest
cities in the States. This MeauX eagle,
whose reputation has been enhanced by
your eloquence. would certainly not fail to
excite the curiosity of my public If you
will let me have the rare bird and tell me
how to feed it. you can quote your own
figure.
Brunetiere politely explained that the
rare bird'' had been dead for nearly
200 years.

objection to their running business.

go by them Women have no bust

such depravity. We are not posing
as saints nor hoping or trying the
impossibilty of converting all wO-
men into angels-it is not feasible
it never was. We are not going to
acquiesce in this shameful business
because our men were elected. The
saloons are run more bOsterOus on
Sundays than on week days. except
that you enter the side deess. We
arc opposed to this We are oppos-
ed to people using profanity on the
highways. There is no cause for it.

We favor men on the police fOLce
who will not wink at Is year old
girls and harbOr them for their own
lust, but will run them in and re-
port their misdemeanors to their pa
rents or guardians, likewise keep the
boys out of the saloons and from the
streets at late hours at night.
We favor that the representative
men of all races and nationalities be
appointed and not the thugs gather
ed from the slums.
We believe that Griffith will use
good Judgment along this procedure.
