The sun goes up and down again,
But not nibble does he ken.
The jug is emptied, lunch all gone,
But he is never quite forlorn.
And when the shades of night have
fell,
He paddles back to his hotel.
The boarders try to jolly him,
But he is game up to the brim.
"It's not the fish l caught" says he,
"But just the fun of going, see?"

A HUMOROUS TAXIDERNIIST
". Potter, of England, and His
Unique Museum.

Beneath the shadow of the ruined
castle at Bramber, England, there is
novel and interesting museum, well
worthy the attention of all who find
themselves in that prettiest of South
Down villages. The exhibits displayed
therein are principally examples of
the art of the taxidermist, but the
subjects are treated in such humor-
Gus manner as to render the museum
unique in England. From child's
point of view it is veritable Won
derland reminiscent of the strange
sights seen by Alice when she made
her journey into that delectable coun-
try. 1t is not, however, only the ju-
venile who is captivated with the ex-
hibition; the adult is none the less
amused and agreeably surprised at
the wonderful ingenuity there dis
played.
The idea of thus combining the art
of the taxidermist with that of the
humorist was generated in the brain
of the veteran proprietor, Mr.. w.
Potter. In 1851 Mr.. Potter set to
work to construct the death and
Burial of Cock Robin The work
was done in Mr.. Potter's spare time,
and was not completed until seven
years had elapsed. The nursery
rhyme is too we'll known to repeat
here. The whole of the incidents in
the story are graphically portrayed,
and, as evidencing the patience and
perseverance exercised by Mr.. Pot
ter, it may be stated that no fewer
than 100 specimens of British birds
are included in the setting. In ad-
dition to the birds which figure in
the story there are the cuckoo, night
ingale, goldfish, hawfnch, bramble-
finch, whyneck etc. Considerable in
genuity is displayed in the arrange
ment of the fish with his dish,' the
"fy with his little eye," the owl, the
bull rendered in miniature, the rook,
and the mourning birds all Assigning
