"Seouse of lob-scouse, a parson's

"Tack and slush is the sailor's bread

break yer tack with a tack hammer,

Must Be Changed.
The old saying, "As savage as a
rat," must be changed. A Chicago
boy caught, a large rat and kept him in
a cage for a month and tried many ex-
periments on him. One of the things
he did was to let loose a large grass-
hopper in the same cage, and the rat
was so frightened by the insect that
he crouched in a corner and whined
and shivered with fear. When a
sparrow was introduced to the cage,
the rat ran 'round and 'round until he
fell down from exhaustion. When
naturalists tell us of the fierceness of
the rat, after this, they should leave
out the Chicago rodent.

GOOD ADViCS TOR HUSBANDS.
Written Long Ago, But in Every Way
Applicable To-Day.
A clergyman took down a small
volume.
"This is called," he said, "the 'In-
structions of Ptah-ho-Tep.' It is one of
the very oldest papyrus writings
known. It gives, among other things,
advice to husbands, and that advice is
as good to-day as it ever was. Listen."
And he read:
" If thou be wise, furnish thy house
well.
" 'Woo thy wife ever, and never
quarrel with her.
" 'Nourish her daintily.
" 'Deck her out, for fine dress is her
greatest delight.
" Feed her upon sweets.
" 'Perfume her.
"'Make her glad with praise.
"'Adorn her with jewels, feathers,
and the skins of beasts, as sumptuous-
ly as thy purse will suffer.' "
How Sawfish Uses Its Saw.
More energetic than any other
sharks are the sawfish, whose snouts
are prolonged into a broad blade of
cartilage, which is horizontal when the
flsh is swimming in a normal posi-
tion and has both its edges set with
slightly curved teeth about an inch
apart. The end of this formidable
looking weapon is blunt and compara-
tively soft, so that it is quite incapa-
ble of the feats popularly attributed to
it of piercing whales' bodies, ships'
timbers, etc. It attacks other flsh by
a swift lateral thrust of the saw be-
neath them. Then it feeds upon the
soft entrails,which are apparently th®
only food It can eat from the peculiar
shape of its mouth. It has an enor-
mous number of small teeth, some-
times as many as 50 rows in one indi-
vidual, but they are evidently unfit
for the rough duties required of their
teeth by the garbage-eating members
of the family.—Fish Lore.
Fish Insensible to Pain.
How sensitive to pain are flsh? A
correspondent writes: "I have a small
pond which is stocked with trout I
keep an accurate account of those I
catch and note when I lose any. The
other morning a big rainbow trout
broke the worm hook with which I had
hooked him. That evening I hooked
and landed a good trout, also with
worm tackle, which proved to be my
friend of the morning, as right down
in his stomach was the broken gut
and hook, and, besides this, in his lip
was a March brown fly hook which,
according to my fishing hook, must
have been there many weeks. A fish
with a fly hook in his mouth, a worm
hook in his stomach and ready to gulp
down bait must be quite impervious to
what we mortals call pain."

Butterflies in Mimicry.
Caterpillars and butterflies go far
in the line of mimicry. They assume
the strangest, most impossible dis-
guises, appearing now in the shape
of a leaf or stem, now as a bundle of
dark-green pine needles, and now
again as a bud or flower, all for the
innocent purpose of concealing them-
selves from the Inquisitive gaze of
their enemies, the birds. When the
caterpillar lives on the grass he la
striped up and down like the foliage
that supports him. When he feeds
upon broad leaves that have midribs
and branching veins, his stripes and
streaks run crossways at the same
angle as those of the food plant.
Aids to Self-Assurance.
"There are two things which I al-
ways insist on to myself," said the
girl with a small income. "One is to
keep my hair well brushed and be-
comingly arranged: the other is to
have my shoes polished and the heels
in perfect shape. If my hair is all
right, then I know I look nice, and if
nay shoes are good, then I can stand
or walk with more assurance than a
brand-new gown would give me if my
heels were run down. It's not alone
the way they look that is important,
but the way they make me feel."
9,914 New Books in 1907,
London.—The record of new books
published in 1907 is appalling or en-
couraging according to the point of
view. They numbered 9,914, or 1,311
more than in 1906. New editions and
reprints account for 2,213. There was
a slight decrease in Action, the new
novels numbering 1,862. Religion and
