The Gods Bill of Fare,

An interesting exhibit in the South Kensington museulX London, illus trates the omnvorolls nature of the cod's diet. Among the fish falling q prey to it's voracious maws we note the young of the herring, dab, whiting and sand eel. Shrimps and young lob sters also form an important item in the cod's menu. The strangest part of the cod's diet perhaps is the sea mouse. whose thick covering of bristles might be thought to render it unwelcome to any stomach. Large whelks and shells of whelks with their indwelling hermit crabs are also largely deyoured. From it's partiality to moll,lsks, ill fact. the cod may become an assistant to tho shell collector. Woodward in his Man ual of the Mollusca" remarks that .'some good northern seashells have been rescued unbroken from the stom- ach of the od."-London Globe.

If the Tree Falls, What of the Ivy?

If the Tree Falls, What of the Ivy?
 We hear great deal about the mod ern girl developing mannishness, inde- pendence and losing her femininity. A great many people are much alarmed because girls are not trained, as for merly, in womanly gentleness. It is a beautiful figure of speech to describe the feminine character as the ivy which clings to the masculine oak for support and in return covers and beau tifies its hideous knots and scars.
 But if the oak falls what becomes of the ivy?
 There is too much of this ivy clinging and beautifying idea In training girls. They should be taught that it is just as necessary to be independent, to be self supporting as to be able to cling and beautify. In other words. they ought to be able to stand alone if the tree falls and not so down with it. Success Magazine.

The Last Match Saved Them.

The ship had lain becalned i'll a trop- ical sea for three days. Not q breati. of air stirred the mirrorlike surface o1 the sea or the limp sails that hung from the yards like drapery carved iii stone. The captain resolved to wait no longer. He piped up all hands on deck and requested the passengers to also come forward.
 q must ask all of you.' he said, ''to give me every match that you have.
 Wonderingly the passengers and crew obeyed. The captain carefully arranged the matches in his hands as each man handed him his store until all haI been collected. Then he threw them all overheard but one, drew a cig3, from his pocket and, striking the soli- tary match on the mainmast, endcav- ored to light it. In an instant a fuli- ous gale swept over the deck, eXtin guished the match and filled the sails and the good ship Mary Ann sped through the waves on her course.- Pearson's Weekly.

SCARCITY OF YARNS
 STEPHENS PRICES

New York, May 27-Importers of linens in this market continue to de vote most of their attention to secul- ing the delivery Of goods on order for the following season. X very large business has been booked for next fall, and although deliveries are not as yet due, large retail buyers and jobbers throughout the country are urging importers to make the earliest deliveries possible on all or ders. A glance at tue character of the orders placed plainly shows that handling of linen goods in this coua- try have looked well ahead and have placed orders for fall delivery which will practicllay be used to meet the business to be put through during the spring of 1908. Buyers have had 8 very thorough and drastic lesson since last fall regarding the linen sit nation, and even the most skeptlcal buyer in the country has been finally compelled to admit that the state ments made by importers regarding the shortage of goods have been un- der rather than overdraWn. Every thing in the shape of linens appears to be short. Towels, napkins, table damasks, also linen piece goods, are scarce and high in price. Dealers who placed their orders early last year for spring delivery have not as yet received their goods except in small quantities. Importers are constantly receiving letters from retailers and jobbers demanding immediate ship ment of goods which are now several months overdue, but as the importer has little or nothing to deliver and has been unable to obtain supplies from the primary markets abroad, he can do nothing to help out the re taller.

TCot,lpicks.

Toothpict2 Tg.e in common use In lncient Rome. Sometimes they were made of quiIls, but preferably of the wood of the mastic or lcntia,s tree. whose astringent and aromatic gum i; known to modern dentistry Martiars episrams frequently mention the den- tiscalpium, or toothpicl1. and recon mend the wooden kind above tna quill. The toothpick was taken t. England by travellers from Italy and France.
 As Mares says. The using of it i'll public was long dcolacl aa affected mark of @cntility.' Shakespeare takes this view when h. makes one of the characters in King John remark:

PUBLIC UTILITIES BILL
 BEFORE MCCLELLAN

Albany, N. Y., May 27.-The public utilities bill is now being considered by Mayor McClrl'%a. his approval being necessary because it contains provision for a To- cal public service commissDl Cor New York. It :s expectei that Mayor McClella wi;' veto .he bill but will hurry t ba ,N to Albany and it can be repassed ty the legis- lature tomorrow, and be in the hands of Governor Hughes the same day This bill, fraught with splendid possibilities for the people of the state, is almost certain, therefore, to be a law this week. It is thought that debate on the bill will take two days, as the op- ponents of the measure are to ex- haust themselves in rhetorical ef- fort. There will be amendments of- fered by McCarren, Grady and by Republicans like Cassidy. Raines is more likely to stay under cover. In the end, it is believed that the Republicans will vote unanimously for the bill, and that the Tammany senators will fall into line as the Tammany assemblymen did before. It looks as if McCarren's vote would be the only one against the bill.

Great Pigeon Cities In the Swamps.

Each spring in May all the rosy gulls of a wide region somehow agree to re- sort to particular one of various marshy lakes for the purpose of rear ing their young. Just how they decide the important question Is not for us hu mans to know. At any rate, what they do select is great area of grass, reeds or rushes growing out of the water, and there, out of the abundance of dry stems, each pair builds partly float ing nest, side by side with others, thousands upon thousands of them These great cities of the prairie pi geon present one of the most dramatic, Spectacular sights in the bird life of this continent, comparable in way to the former breeding "roosts' of the real wild pigeon Herbert K.

ltaIy's Leanino Towers.

Most gleaners of the wonderful con- slider the leaning tower of Pisa to be something unique in architecture. This is an error, however, for there are two others in Italy and several in other European cities. The two at Bologna are the most remarkable. One of them Is 321 feet in height and leans over six and a half feet from the perpendic- ular, and the other Is 181 feet high and has "a lean" of over nine feet. The oldest of these two remarkable structures was built in the year 1110.

How They Dance In Hungary.

With the exception of the Spaniards there is no nation in Europe that dances like the Hungarians. They love 1t with a love that amounts to a passion. They not only 30 in for 1t heart and soul, but they will dance on anything. in any sort of weather. A paddock. a village street, stable yard, the earth en floor of q wayside csarda-it Is all the same to them. Not the scorching sun or the whirllng dust or the peltins rain or the falling snow will detc" them. They all dance beautifully too. It seems to be in their blood.

Brittany alone, of all the province of France, seems to have preserved it. types and individuality. To be Breton Is by no means to be French. The old men to this day chatter in the Celti,' tongue.

The astonishing abundance of flies during the latter part of the summer Is accounted for by the estimate made by an eminent entomologist that the progeny of a single house fly in the course of one summer will number 2,0o0,3 1920.
