peopled with large brown fish arising
from the depths, gliding and dashing
about in state Of great excitement
These are cod. which, caught on lines
in the sea, have been transferred to
this pond to be fattened for the table.
They are fed daily by the keeper, and
experience has taught them to connect
the sound OF footsteps with their

Formerly clapper used to be rung
to summon them, but this was no
more than a trick OF the stage. The
football on the stone is quite enough
TO awaken them to activity. Most Of
the cod, being deepwater fish, become
totally blind in captivity from excess
OF light; but they become so tame and
accustomed to their keeper rs not

OF them allow themselves to be lifted

ABOUT THE VAMPIRE BATS

The bats OF North America are
harmless little fellows although most
OF the women folk shrink away when
one swoop TO close, In fear OF the
timehonored belief that lady's back
hair Is a fayorite nesting place OF bats.
All bats are not harmless. however.
The vampire bats OF South America
are bloodsuckers. practicing their di-
etary habits on unconscious travellers
while the latter sleep peacefully, only
to awaken to find themselves weak
from loss OF blood and with only n
small incision In the flesh where the
bat has enjoyed his evening meal.
Vampires. while far larger than our
own little twilight companions. are not
the largest OF bats. In southern Asia
and the Malaysan Archipelago real ri.
ant bats are found. ana In the Philip
pines there Is one species which has
wing spread OF five feet, and over.
These creatures. with their great
leathery wings. are somewhat fear.
some looking monsters. but they are
in reality quite harmless. living upon
insects and fruit and being quite timid
In character.

Otherwise the Girl Who Adopts Pro.
fession Of ChIldren's Nurse
Will Not Succeed.

The great essentlon for any girl
adopting the profession Of children's
nurse is that she must have a great
love for the wee folk. to be able to
enter into their feelings. to sympa.
thize with their sorrows and joys. A
child's nurse must not be a cynic.
She must know the importance OF lit.
tie things to children, must know
that the molehills OF grown.ups are
the mountains Of boys and girls. Now,
adays the children's nurse must be q
comrade and companion as well as
mentor to her young charges. but the
latter POLE must never be over.empha.
sized.
1t is well. too, for any girl desiring
to become a nurse OF this kind to 20
somewhere and obtain the proper
training for the position. 1t Is . big
advantage when seeking employment
Briefly, the nurse OF children must

SOME WONDERFUL WHISPERS

S, G. Brinkley, a native of South
carolina, claims to have the longest
peard In the states. Its total length
Is flve feet four inches. and. until he
cropped the ends recently. to make it
more convenient to handle, 1t meas
ured six feet two inches in length.
Mr.. Brinkley conceals the beard in
a bag beneath his shirt, and has worn
1t ever since he was twenty-five wears
OF age. He is now fifty.two. II is
not cultivated. but an uninvited and
spontaneous crop OF whiskers. AT one
time Mr. Brlnkley used to shave regu.
larly. but when he was about twenty.
three his beard began to make It's an.
pearance with remarkable speed, and
from one weeks end to another his
lace would literally be covered with a
soft and luXuriant beard. At last he
begun to get tired OF continually clip.
ping and shaving and decided to let
the beard grow, TO see how long his
whiskers would get, and before the
end OF the year they were at his feet
Mr.. Brinkley's beard is By no means
the longest on record. for In 1903 Alex.
ander Craigie, of Perth. won a prize
for the longest beard. The length
was seven feet two and one.half
inches, Another competitor, gen.
tleman OF Llandudno, was nowhere
with a stubbly growth OF only four
feet two Inches, Mr., CraIgie began
TO grow his beard when he was twen.
ty.five years OF age. He wore It usual.
ly folded up inside his waistcoat. and
trimmed SO as to look like an ordinary
everyday sort OF beard.
The worlds record. however, was
held by Robert Latter. OF Tunbridge,
Wells, England, who six years ago
boasted Of beard no less than six.
teen feet in length. which he wore
wound round his waist. Mr.. Latter.
who at that time was seventy.eIght
years OF age, began to grow the beard
when he was about thirty. At first he
cultivated two curls beneath his chin.
and Ms their length increased he used
to wear them beneath his walstcoat.
Eventually these curls attained such a
length that for his own comfort he
had to enclose them In n bag, which
was renewed every birthday. Ulu.
mately Mr.. Latter plated his beard,
and as it became too large even to be
carried In bag. he wound It round
his waist, and used to say that It was
an excellent chest.protector and a
good deal warmer than anything he
could buy.

ROMAN BONES IN ENGLAND

The extension of the innrmary at
chester. England. has led to the dis.
covery OF the graveyard used by the
twentieth legion Of the Romans dur.
ing their occupation Of that city. The
chester infirmary occupies a site
which is locally referred to as the
plague field" The site seems to have
acquired Its unsavory name from the
fact that casual discoveries Of human
remains had led to the supposition
mat they were the victims Of the great
plague. The recent unearthng Of re.
mains In larger numbers on the site
OF the extension Of the infrmary led
70 an investigation by Prof. Robert
Newstead. who now reports that the
evidence proves conclusively that the
infirmary field was not used Is bury
Ing ground during the outbreak of the
plague. and that all the burials which
have been 30 far unearthed belong to
the Roman period.
-Four distinct types Of graves have
been uncovered. One is tomb form
ed Of local sandstone, evidently rep.
resenting burial OF some importance.
as the walls Of the tomb are covered
In plaster. and the dome Of the struc-
ture originally stood out in marked
contrast to the surrounding surface
OF the land. forming a distinct tumu-
lus. Some Of the graves were formed
by placing Roman roofing tiles bear
Ing the stamp Of the twentieth legion
upon the floor and also at the sides.
the legionary stamps always facing In.
ward.
Another type Of burial was formed
by placing roughly hewn sandstone SO
that V-shaped trough was formed for
the reception of the body. A fourth
type OF grave consists OF q simple
trench, dug in the solid clay at depth
OF not more than two feet from the
original land surface.
The Roman origin Of the graves Is
borne out by the fact that bronze coins
OF the Emperors Antonius. Plus and
Commodus have been found in them.
Such coins we're placed usually In the
mouth Of the deceased. and are gen
orally referred to as "Charon's pas
sage fare" to expedite the passage Of
the soul across the Styx. as 1t was be-
lieved that the person who had not re-
ceived the usual rites OF burial and in
whose mouth no fee for the ferryman
OF the Stygian lake had been placed.
would wander hopelessly on Its banks.
while a decent interment and a small
coin would obviate any disagreeable
Inquiries that Charon might else be
inclined to make.

City and Country Ignorance

the eountryinan's ignorance of city
ways and things is apt to make the city
man smile, good humoredy of COURSE
but said the fa .raer. remarks the New
York Sun, "is not the city man as ig.
norant of things in the country?
I'VE had staying With us a couple OF
weeks ago young city man who liked
to set on the porch in the evening, where
it was cool The first night there he
turned to me and said:
What sort OF bird was that?'
'Bird?' l said. i didn't hear any bird.
and l couldn't understand what hs
meant; for in our part of the country we
have no birds that sing at night.
That's It,. the young gentleman said
a moment later. when he heard the sound
again. What sort of a bird is that?'
Why. that / said as calmly as I
could. why, that is not exactly a bird,
that's bullfrog.'
I'VE had with US earlier In the season
a city lady who said one morning when
sch came down TO breakfast that she
thought the hotel must be very inhospi-
table or very careless of its guests. She
referred to a summer hotel quarter of
mile further along ON our road, many
Of whose guests bring their automobiles
with them and keep them there through
the summer.
She said that she was awakened about
l o'clock that morning by somebody with
motor car wanting to get In at the
hotel The chauffeur, she said, blew the
horn at intervals for more than an hour.
but nobody came; when she went to sleep
again about o'clock the motor car was
still there, with the chauffeur still blow
ing the horn every now anddh
Wei. now, do you know that that
seemed very strange to me2 Very strange,
ior the people at this hotel look after
their guests very carefully and it seemed
incredible that they should let an au-
tomobile wait an hour TO get in even at
or o'clock In the morning. and then it
struck me that the sound the lady had
heard was really not that of an automo-
bile horn but the croaking of bullfrog.
IN pond near our house there is
a giant bullfrog whose note is precisely
like that of a hoarse, deep voiced horn,
and this bullfrog sounds his note just
as many chaffuer blows his horn You
may hear this great bullfrog breaking in
on the stiffness at almost any hour of the
night with his deen bass honk- honk- -honk-
honlS, like an automobile horn for all the
world, and for such, unacquaintel with
country life and sounds. our lady guest
had quite naturally taken It,"

your appointment as Secretary of La
bor?"
Not that I know of. was not an
applicant for the place and when my
name was proposed I simply said that
l would appreciate the honor If it came
to me. My idea of this position was
too high for me to be an applicant
for it."
Mr. Secretary, have you ever doubt
ed the value of the trades union to
the laboring man?'
No. | believe in the union. I believe
in organization as a means of protec-
ton for all kinds of labor My view
point OF the relation between the en-
ployer and the eniploye is such that I
cannot see how the latter could Sc
cure even small share of justice with
out organization. l look upon any in
dustry as a partnership in which the
employer and the employees are the
partners in production They have a
mutual interest in securing the largest
production for a given amount of Ia
Dor, and it is only when it comes to a
