Teeth Kew to Character,

Long, narrow teeth indicate vanity:

WHO is THE SOUNDING SHAD?
lis Is HabituaIIy Merry and Bright,
Affords Interest, Amusement
and Some Sport.

We note with a profound sense OF
qualification that the sounding shad
has arrived. Who is the sounding
shad? some may ask. We answer
that he is a fine old sport whose
presence In this country causes a
autter in the breast of every suscep-
tible ichthyologist. Let there be no
misconception about the sounding
shad, says the London Globe. He is
not a billiard-room guy that one may
casually challenge to hundred up,
or low comedian, or q new thing In
trombones.
No. The sounding shad is a regu-
lar and welcome visitor who arrives
when the song Of the nightingale is
heard in the Surrey lanes, and the
liquid notes of the American tourist
percolate through the atmosphere Of
Bloomsbury. He is a fish-just a
fish, but one Of the right sort.
AS the Birmingham Post tells us,
he comes "tumbling and gambohng
up certain of our rivers, affording in
terest, amusement, excitement and
some sport" He is not occasionally,
he Is habitually merry and bright. He
Is, say the naturalists, "anadromous,
but he does not let a little thing like
that bother him. He tumbles and
gambols just the same, and livens the
cold monotony Of our rivers
"By day and night" we are told,
the saltations of the sounding shad
suggest the gambolings of do1phins
or porpoises."
To this merry fellow we extend a
cordial welcome, though we know
there are churlish anglers who, hear
ing of his arrival, will only say: Get
the hook"
