a superior smile.
"No wonder, Miss JONES'" she ex-
planned with patient gentleness.

Smiling in her turn, a different and
more genial smile, the teacher turned

duly classified with learned work on
Lepidoptera and Coleoptera, she found
the unscientific but fascinating insect

Some Little Stories That Prove the
Guardians of Literature Are
Not InfaIIibIe.

It is usually the ignorant or con-
fused frequenters of library who are
responsible for amusing mistakes, but
occasionally an oyerhaughty guardian
of literature gives occasion for quiet
smile to those she serves. To a. re-
quest for "Prometheus Unbound" one
such replied, with chilling decisive
ness: 1--WE have no unbound books"
More recently, school teacher,
wishing to extend her rather scanty
knowledge of the stories of Edgar AL
Ian Poe, in view of the centenary of
his birth, inquired at the delivery
desk of rural library for "The Gold
Bug" adding: II can't seem to find it
in the catalogue, but I'm sure you
have it. A friend of mine had it out
last week"

Whale FISHING DYING Out.

The depression in the Dundee whale
fishing is so acute that there is danger
of the industry disappearing from the
British isles. The growing scarcity Of
whales in the arctic regions has made
the industry very unremunerative, and
shareholders have become so disheart-
ened that a number of the vessels
have been put up for sale. A serious
side of the question is the probable
fate of the Eskimos who depend upon
the whalers for supplies of rifles and
ammunition, having through use Of

and sawdust. When band Of
German hunters with us last year
shot over ten tons of elephant
meat in the Kilimanjaro region,
the natives came for 200 miles,
and almost every ounce of avail
able meat was by them eagerly
devoured. The natives draw the
line at eating the dead lions, and
the Mohammedan portion of the
safari will eschew the pig in all
its forms. My Swahili tent boys
absolutely refused to eat any

they discovered the picture of
