SPARED OBLIVION or GRAVE
Many Animal Pets Receive Ministra-
tons OF Taxlderrnists Instead
Of Sections.

There are hundreds Of people In
Greater New York who become SO fond
of their pets that when they die they
will not permit them to be buried. When
a pet cat or a toy dog dies they find
the idea of sending it to the city dump
so utterly intolerable that they take
the departed favorite to a taxidermist,
and by this route it acquires the right
to remain In New York with tLC!I in
definitely, and the stuffed animal be-
comes q cherished ornament
There is nothing htppaut ,'ou- the
owners feelings in the natter 1yn-

ally thirty or forty OF these cer2Dloni-
al comfortings Of those who have lost
their pets, smile a little always as
they speak of this branch Of the bust
ness, which is a small but steady item
in every years work.
Some taxdermists have more birds
brought In for mounting than eats and
dogs. Canaries are still being mount
ed, sitting on branch, surrounded by
the same sort of grasses and immor-
telles that we're in vogue a generation
ago. They are still covered by a grass
bell, and the resulting ornament is as
fcndly treasured today as it ever WAS.

CaYan1sn,a Hearth

What we know Of our cave dwelling
ancestors we have CLEANED chiefly
from the relics left by the cavemen In
their places of habitation In caverns
and holes In the rock. Marett, the
anthropologist, tells Of cave In Jer-
sey, near the Bay Of ST. Brelaide,
where scientists dug down through
some twenty feet Of clay and rock
rubbish, probably carried there in the
course Of the last Ice age that mantled
Europe, and found large stones that
had propped up the FIRE and even
some Of the ashes. Bones were found
In heap Of food-refuse, which, when
examined proved to be the remains
Of the woolly rhinoceros, the reindeer
two kinds of horses, of a wild OK and
Of deer. Thirteen human teeth were
found in the food-heap. The diners
had also left their knives - flint
Clipped on one side.

NATURES Little Joke.

A food expert warns the public
against the Ben Davis apple. "Such
apples" he says, are neither flavor
full nor have they good keeping quail
ties. They are good for neither eat
ing nor cooking He might have said
more. He might have told of the re
proachful looks cast on you by hog
or COW when you give it Ben Davis.
Someone must have had an awful
crouch to call this thing after a man
Of that name. The Ben Davis is a
deceptive-looking vegetable. In color
and shape it resembles a fine apple.
1t is good only to look at. Its flesh
Is tasteless and without Juice. 1t
looks like an apple. but 1t isn't one.
1t Is one Of Natures jokes.-New

FIJlANS POLITE TO A FAULT

chief is at liberty to command any

Of his guest The ruler seldom abuses
this privilege. He is very desirous to

IRISH ClTY'S LONG HISTORY
Limerick Has for Many Centuries Been
Place Of High importance
and Interest

Limerick, Ireland, which occupies
both sides of the river as well as
Kings island, is about 1870 miles from
Dublin. Its bacon-curing industry, it's
creameries, its condensed milk facto-
ries. and its salmon fisheries keep busy
its Rory O'Mores and its pretty little
Irish colleens, the glances Of whose
beautiful eyes are like to prove as IA
tai as those Of Kate Kearney. Linn
erick fish hooks are celebrated, and
though the Limerick lace worked up
on fine quality of net derived its
name from the city, 1t is mostly made
in other portions Of the island at the
present time.
Limerick has had past, says q
bulletin Of the National Geographic
society. It was the ancient Regia of
Ptolemy; the Danes desired 1t for a
long while before they finally occu-
pied 1t In the Ninth century; and In
1910 King John visited It and built
forts upon its coveted soil. The de-
throned James II of England made 1t
his last stronghold. On the island IN
tho river the ancient Limerick had It's
beginnings, and today Its maze OF
crooked streets, and its old cathedral.
dating from 1170, are important points
Of interest.

Put Out Your Tongue.

The latest science, "called glosso-
NANCY" purports to read the persons
character by the size and shape OF
the tongue According to glossoman-
cists, those who possess short and
broad tongues are apt to be untruth-
full, while people whose tongues are
short and narrow are sly and bad
tempered. When the tongue is long
and broad 1t is sign that its owner
Is inclined to be a gossip. tongue
that Is long and narrow denotes a
frank, open disposition. Girls with
small, round, plump tongues possess
trustful and affectionate dispositions ;
but men with similar shaped tongues
are apt to be inconsistent. What
Slossomancists term the rectangular
type Of tongue-one that Is almost
square In Shapes indicative of a
strong. virile nature. Men with these
shaped tongues are ambitious, active,
and likely to get on in the world.
Square-tongued women, however, are
likely to be self-assertive.

r acme.

Strange as it may seem to those
who have been accustomed to think Of
that great artist merely as a type Of
the frigid pomposity of an Anticipated
age, his music, to ears that are at
tuned to hear it, comes fraught with a
pocnancy of loneliness whose pecul-
lar quality is shared by no other
poetry In the world. To have grown
familiar with the voice of Racine, to
have realized once and for all its
intensity, its beauty and Its depth, is
to have learnt a new happiness, to
have discovered something exquisite
and splendid. to have enlarged the
glorious boundaries of art. For such
benefits as these, who would not be
grateful? Who would not seek to
make them known to others that they
too may enjoy, and render thanks

Clashed With Spain In 1884.

The Spanish-American war of 1898
was the second time that trouble de-
veloped between Spain and the United
States, originating in Cuba. In 1854
the "Black Warrior" steamship be-
longing to United States citizens, was
seized in the harbor Of Havana. and
declared confscated. The proceedings
aroused feeling against Spain, and
diplomatic exchanges took place at
Madrid, the owners demanding In
Identification Of 100000. The Spanish
government proved reluctant and at
length the Ostend conference was held
to adjudicate the matter.
The vessel was finally released on
payment by the owners Of a fine Of
$1,000, and amicable relations with
Spain were restored.

Plants Have Heart and Pulse Beat

Plants have heart and pulse and

botanist According to Sir Jagardis,
great quantities Of water are absorbed
daily by the average tree. This water
is driven up to the very top Of the
tree and then breathed out again
through the leaves Experiments
were carried out by Sir Jagardis at
his botanical institute in Calcutta. He
says there is no characteristic mani
festation Of animal life which could
not be found in simple form In plants
also. The plant has a heart beat and
pulse" astonishingly similar to that
Of animals. Besides, it also reacts
upon stimulation in almost the same
way. and shows that 1t possesses a
