Ornaments OF the Peeraae.

Lord Lyveden Is an ardent peerage
reformer and tells an anecdote In this
connection for whose authenticity he
pledges himself. This narrates how a
famous statesman of the nineteenth
century was called upon to visit his
son In prison. He bitterly reproachcd
him, remarking, Here am I, having
worked my way up from n middle
class home TO a great position. and
when die you will be the greatest
blackguard In the pecrage." The son
listened quietly and then replied, with
terrible irony, "Yes--when you die"
Another Of Lord Lyveden's peerage
stories IL equally plquant. The son Of
peer applied to friend in the north
OF England for housekeeper and was
recommended certain Mrs. Brown.
The peer wrote TO the woman accord
ingly to the effect that. having learned
particulars Of her character. he was
willing to engage her as his house
keeper and making an appointment for
her to call and see him on certain
date. The good woman replied:
My Lord-From what have learned of
your character ! decline to enter your
house. ] am your lordshlp's obedent
servant, ANNE BROWN.

One OF the marine curiosities fshcd

all was In pitcby darkness. the crab
surprised the naturallsts by lighting
up tho tank 80 that nil the other sea

They might be seen now gliding down
with flying motion Of the wings,
sweeping, gyrating upward with a
twisting vertical motion marvellous In
Its perfect grace; now they flashed
white, again black, so that one would
say they were rolling over and over,
turning somersaults While swimming
along the two great arms or feelers Of
the devilfsh are whirled about In
constant motion. like the tentacles Of
squld. When these tentacles come
In contact with anything they close
upon It. II is generally believed that
this clasping. although at times doing
considerable harm to fishermen and
their boats, is largely automatic and
that, upon the whole, the devilfish is
timid rather than fighter.
