These Animals Don't Eat.

H. These Animals Don't Eat. -
Certain forms of life which are up-
able TO leave our; shores for the win

means of living known as Information,
d means whereby they exist without
air, warmth or even nourishment. For
this period they remain in state al
most Of death. says London Tit-Bits.
& Food-or fat alone Is. required in
small quantities to keep the animals
alive and enough. is generally stored
up In. the flesh without their having
to take recourse to eating, though a
few specimens, such as squirrels and
hedgehogs,4 arise on odd, fine weather
occasions and refuel their bodies.

Cork and Chaljapin.

Readers of Gorki's "rwenty-six Men

cellar that figures so prominently in
the tale. It was q cellar that once
really existed in the town Of Kazan,
and Cork himself worked there as a
bakers apprentice. It is an interest
ing fact that opposite the bakers
was a shoemaker's shop and in it,
while Cork was learning to bake
bread, the young Chaliapin was learn
Ing to make shoes. Though the future
singer must often have eaten bread Of
the future writer's baking the two dill

Lesson From Robinson Crusoe.

Consider. the wisdom Of Robinson
Crusoc. His biography is good text
book for these times. It pictures the
world Of industry in its simplest
terms. One man alone on an island,
with nothing but the raw materials Of
nature about him, clothes himself,
feeds himself, puts a roof over his
head, accumulates property, lives hap
PLY, builds a merchant marine out of
a followed log, and finally establishes
communication with the rest Of the
world, to its profit and his own. .
How did lie do it? By, hard work ;
by foresight; by seIf-denial. Crusoe
had to work or starve.. He had to
look ahead, else his work would be
labor to no Earpose. And he, had to
deny himself some enjoyment Of the
gains or the day or he would starve
on the morrow.--The Worlds Work.
