PUMA. a Fish. Spins silk.

The most costly of all kinds Of silk
hosiery is made from silk which Is not
the product of the silkworms, but a
species of shellfish called puma. The
puma makes its home in the warm
waters of the Mediterranean around
Sicily. 1t has an odd little tube at
the end of its tongue. Out of this
tube, spider fashion, or silkworm fash
ion, 1t spins silk thread with which
1t fastens itself to any rock TO which
it wishes to adhere. When the puma
moves on to fresh feeding grounds its
silken cable Is left behind. This cable,
which is called byssus. the Sicilian
fishermen gather. Byssus weaves In
to the softest, finest sheeniest of fab
RIGS; but 1t is very rare and the stock
ings woven from 1t consequently are
as has been said-exceedingly expen-
sive.--New England Fisheries.

Certiorari.

Certiorari Is law term, and is sell
dom come upon outside of legal pro-
ceedings. The word is derived from
the Latin certioro, to be certified. In
law 1t means a writ from a superior
to an inferior court directing a GER
titled record of its proceedings In a
designated case to be sent up for re-
view. Where right Of appeal from the
decision of the inferior court exists.
certiorari proceedings are unneces-
sary, but where such right does not
exist this is the procedure adopted to
have the proceedings of the inferior
court reviewed by superior court

is shown, the superior court issues a
writ of certiorari TO the inferior court
ordering that the record of the case
in question be sent up in order that IL

YOUTH He WAS LOOKING FOR
Usually Rocky Road Of Love Unex-

whom most Of the young lady's suitors
were In deadly terror. Ordinarily the
proverbial sorehead bear would have
been mild and inadequate COMPARE
son to this old gentleman.
The father had on a number of oc-
casions observed his daughter in in
innate discourse with one of the young
men from his own bank and, watching
his OF .,ortunity, cornered them to-
gethe..
"Well, young man." the banker
Numbered threateningly, what are
your intentions, hey? Just what do
you mean, hanging about my daughter,
hey? Answer me, sir !"
The young man spoke up frankly.
ITO tell the truth, sir, l haven't any
intentions, and don't mean anything.
OF course, Hazel and / love each
other, but my salary is too small to
get married on, and l can't ask her
TO wait until she's an old woman--as
she'd probably have to. No, / don't
see any hope for me at all"
That's all right, my boy" the
banker told him, his face suddenly
beaming with kindness. "Go ahead
and marry her. Why. it's the plain
duty of chap who shows that much
sense to get married right away"
