THE SPORT FISHES.

Along the seashore," said Daddy.
was row of very queer-looking OBJ
jects.
They were sport fish, not real, alive
Ash, but sport fish, made out of rub
Der and covered with oil cloth. Their
faces were painted with eyes like the
fish have. They had painted fins and
painted bodies. In fact they were very
gay in color and were all ready to go
in the water.
81 say, remarked one sport fish,
painted mostly In red, what do you
think we'll do today?
"'Have you never been here be-
fore? asked the sport fish painted blue
and yellow.
Never said the red sport fish.
All, you see,' said the blue and yell
low sport fish. we are blown up like
tires of automobiles
"'Oh dear said the red sport fish,
when is that going to happen? I'd
hate to be blown up. 1t sounds quite
too awful for words. Quite too awful.
I'm dreadfully afraid Oh, why did
you tell me this? Was 1t to warn me
that danger is near? win it happen
today? When Will 1t happen? Oh,
am so frightenedP
My dear sport fish, calm yourself,
calm YOURSELF
It's all-very well for you to talk
about calming myself. It's very fine
thing to be calm when another creature
is going to be blown up. Very fine in
deed!
but If you think am looking for
ward to being blown up, you're very
much mistaken, very much mistaken.
In fact am dreading 1t with every bit
of my queer-shaped body. 1t makes
me sad, 1t makes me madp
You made rhyme there said the
blue and yellow sport fish, and that
shows you're not so unhappy. We don't
make rhymes when we are sad you
know
"I didn't mean to make rhyme
said the red sport fish. You shouldn't
tease me so. l didn't really and truly
mean to make that rhyme. 1t just
came out of its own accord
"'Then,' said the blue and yellow
sport fish, I admire you all the more.

Remarkable Chinese Organ.

In a church at Tungkadoo, Shang-
hal, China, there is a bamboo organ
that has been in use for 80 years.
There is only one other organ of the
kind In the Orient. The tone Of this
instrument is described as sweet but
somewhat woody" and ''the whole in
strument speaks volumes for the skill
of those men who. using only mate
rails Immediately at hand, were able
to devise an organ pleasing TO the
ear and able to defy the severest test
that of time" Metal pipes are now
TO be used to replace the bamboo.
This will no doubt improve the mu-
steal qualities of the organ but will
detract from its public interest as 1t
win then be the same as other in
struments of its kind.

origin Claimed by Turks.

According to the Osmanli historians.
the original Turk was a grandson OF
Noah. Though there were only eight
people In the ark when 1t was first
fioated, there were nine, it is asserted,
when it landed at Mount Arrat. The
additional one was the eldest son of
Japhet, born during the flood. His
name was Turk. A descendant in the
fourth generation, one Alindje Khan,
had two sons (twins) who were named
TartarKhan and Mogul-Khan. Tartar
was the father of the Turks; Mogul
was the father of the Mongols. Turks
and Mongols were thus closely related
by birth, and the wars which at once
broke out between them, and the rec
onciliations that speedily ensued,- had
much of the nature of family quarrels.
The Turks were the more frequently
triumphant, one Mongol throne after
another yielding to their arms. Not till
the Christian era was well advanced
did the chronological name of these chill
dren of Japhet appear in history.

ART VS.. BRICKS IN SYDNEY
A Peculiar Controversy in Australia
That Is Agitating Labor
Circles.

Here is curious point of law or
WO Bulletin. The musicians union
of Sydney charges the Melbourne eight
hours procession with something like
scabbing because it decided that union
lists, even If they don't belong to the
musicians organization, may play in
Its own ranks on the annual gala day.
There are arguments on both sides.
1t seems hard that a union bricklayer
shouldn't be allowed to blow his own
cornet in his own demonstration on a
holiday, yet If he found professional
cOrnet-player laying bricks on a Good
Friday he might object. OF course the
man in the procession isn't playing for
hire, but then it wouldn't improve
things much If the cornet-player laid
bricks gratis.
The bricklayer might argue that
there are certain number of bricks
that must be laid, so the cornet-
player would be doing another man
out of job, while there isn't any
fixed amount of music that must be
blown, so an amateur might blow q
sample or two without depriving any
other man of a crust. And the brick
layer probably, says that the cornet-
player couldn't lay bricks decentIy If
he tried, to which the cornet-player
possibly replies that the brlcklayer
can't make music.
To some extent it is struggle be-
tween art and materialism. Music
properly played Is capable of arousing
the highest and noblest emotions of
which the soul is capable; a brick,
even if properly laid, isn't. And soul
isn't thing to be lightly despised.
But here the tangible bumps against
the intangible. Nobody has seen a
soul, while almost everybody has seen
brick.

pomesticated Animals.

One OF the tendencies of science and
scholarship is to discredit the usual
assumption that primitive man got the
idea into his head that this animal or
that could be made useful and that it
would be an excellent idea TO tame IT.
The evidence seems TO indicate that
the domestication of animals began in
animal worship and that the first stage
was the sacred animal, the totem. A
tribe would take the animal which 1t
worshiped into its midst as a religious
matter. Then gradually that particu-
lar superstition would wear off and the
animal, now more or less tame, would
be put to whatever use his human fell
lows could find for him.

what Fun 1t Is to Be a Sport Fish,"

| Wnat run II is TO be sport FISH"
You are a real poet. Rhymes just
drop from you, or fall from you,
whichever you prefer
Il don't prefer either way said the
red fish, without thinking much just
what he was saying. I'm nervous,
that's all know
! "'You shouldn't be nervous when you
are such a poet said the blue and yell
low sport fish. .s.e-s,-.- ~
81 don't care about being a poet
said the red sport fish.
"'Then you have no right 10 make
rhymes without thinking or even with
| thinking. For you must be a poet If
| you do that. And if you don't wish to
be a poet it is particularly unfortu-
| nate when / consider how quickly and
without even a thought you can make
up rhyme.
"There are many, many poets who
sit before their desks, as you sit before
your desk, the ocean. They bite the
ends of their pens or pencils-you
can't do that because you haven't any
pens or pencils-and they talk about
great idea which IS coming to them
and they wait and wait for that idea.
And what do you think? The idea
doesn't come at ALL or when It does
come it's been such a long time COM
ing that it's pretty well worn out when
it gets there. And an idea for poet
means a rhyme. So you're poet with
out any effort and that Is very fine

going to be blown up

Jump them and ride them, and the

X/OUR neighbors should be

task OF bringing up a better citi-

all argue against the idea OF the
unusual brilliancy OF the young
