TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT, OCIOBER Curious little crabs, mostly about the size of a pea, are found in abun dance on the shores of the Malay peninsula. They are usually first per ceived on the beaches after the going down of the tide, when they give the beach the appearance of being covered with loose, powdery sand and holes of various sizes. Upon looking more closely it Is perceived that little radi ating paths converge among the litter of sand to each hole and that the Band itself is in minute balls. At the approach of an observer there immediately becomes apparent a pe culiar “twinkle.” which is nothing else than the simultaneous nnd rapid re treat of a multitude of the tiny crabs Into their holes. Should one who is watching these curious little creatures take up bls position by one of their boles and re main [icrfectly motionless they will in time come out, when he will be ena bled to see them at work. Coming cautiously to the mouth of the hole, the crab will reconnoiter a bit. and when satisfied that no enemy Is near It will venture about its own length from its lurking place. Then, rapidly taking up particles of sand In its claws, it will deposit them in a groove beneath the thorax. As it does so a little ball of sand is rapidly projected as through its mouth. This it seizes with one claw and de posits on one side. proceeding in this manner until the smooth beach is covered with little pellets or pills corresponding in size to its own di- mansions. Thls is evidently its meth od of extracting particles of food from the sand.—Harper’s Weekly. The miners of New Mexico tell a queer story which illustrates their be lief in luck. A miner was trudging along one hot day through a gulch, with the sun shining on his back, when he smelled smoke and presently, to bls dismay, discovered that bis knapsack was on fire. Like all miners, be carried a large lens for the purpose of examiulug spec imens, and for want of room be liad hung the glass on the outside and the rays of the sun had been concentrated on bis pack. As among the contents were fifteen pounds of powder he lost no time in dropping the dangerous burden and getting as far away as possible. The haversack fell between two big rocks, while the miner from a safe distance mournfully watched the smoke rising from his sole worldly possessions. Presently there came a deafening ex plosion, and the miner went to gather up what he could find. Then his eyes almost started out of his head at see ing the quartz that had been blown up fairly glistening with gold. His pow der bad literally blown open a gold mine, and he was made a rich man in an instant. He named the mine the "Nick o’ Time.”—Exchange.

They range from the lowest levels of superstition and Ignorance to high attainments of intelligence and culture. But in one respect they are all alike. “Never once.’’ says Mr. Begbie. “have I detected the very smallest smirch of vulgarity either in manners or In dress.” The Hindu may believe In 30,000,000 gods, he may hold that the world is flat and that his soul’s salvation is endangered by the shadow of a European, “but he will have charm of manner and make a picture either in the unhand- scled Jungle or on the platform of a raUway terminus." But the Indian woman is the crown of her creation, as, of course, all women are everywhere. She may be unable to read or write, she may give food to idols and believe that her god or devil rides around the village at night on a plaster horse or a mud ele phant, “but she will be modest and gracious in her manner, and her dress will be as beautiful as the flowers of the field.” No matter how savage and heathen, how Ignorant and stupid these people may be, they "have a no bility in their manner and a loveliness in their raiment.”—San Francisco Ar- gonaut. Environment. The street car conductor was about to be transferred to another line Not bis to reason why, yet ou that occasion he did, and with the chief of the de partment. “I don’t like that line,” be said. “What’s the matter with it?’ asked the chief. "It’s commonplace.” said the con ductor. "1 will lose my good man ners if I go dowu there.

Put him on a line patronized by well dressed people and he will fix up to tit his surroundings. If I go back on that other line 1 will lose polish.” All the chief said then was “Well, well.” but the conductor was not trans ferred-New York Sun. A Quesr Animal.

The Foxes Mourn When a Head of the Gormanston Family Dies. I “Among the oldest families in Ire- land are the Gormanstons. It Is said that when the head of the house dies and for some days before the foxes leave all the neighboring coverts nnd collect at the door of the castle. This strange phenomenon," writes E. T. Humphries in the National Review, “occurred when the twelfth Viscount Gormanston died in 1860 and again in 1876, when the thirteenth viscount shook off this mortal coil. The four teenth holder of the title died in 1907. Inquiry was then made to test the truth or otherwise of the weird leg end. “The son. In a letter published in the New Irish Review, stated that when in the chapel watching his father’s re mains prior to burial he heard noises outside as of a dog sniffing at the door. Upon opening it there was a full grown fox close to the steps and several more around the church. The coachman con firms the presence of the foxes; so does another family retainer. “The daughter of the thirteenth suc- sessor wrote saying that upon the ill ness of her father the foxes sat in pairs under the bedroom windows, howling and barking all night, and if driven away returned. “The family crest is a running fox. and a fox is one of the supporters of the family arms.” His Thoughtful Wife. “I hate to boast.” said a Cleveland lawyer, “but my wife is one of the most economical women in the world. The other day she told me she needed a new suit. I said she ought to have It. by all means, but asked her not to spend a big bunch of money with out letting me know about it. Well, the next day she said: ‘The tailor said be couldn’t make that suit for less than $150. I thought it was too much, but told him to go ahead.’ “ ‘Well, I suppose It Is all right,’ 1 said, ’but why didn't you consult me first? ” ’Why, dearie, I didn’t want to spend car fare for two visits.’ "I tell you, it’s these little econo mies that count, eh?’—Cleveland Press.

He bad never given a thought to Interest and so was absolutely Ignorant of growth through compound interest and. of course, had never beard of that won derful process of accumulation known as "progressive compound interest." One dollar deposited in a savings bank that pays 4 per cent will amount to $2.19 in twenty years. This is sim ple compound interest. Now. if you deposit $1 every year for twenty years, or $20 in all. the sum to your credit will have grown to $30.97. Any wage earner can put by $1 a week. That money deposited In a sav ings bank for twenty years will have Increased to $1.612. A deposit of $5 a week will have grown to $8,000, and this at 4 per cent will be $320 a year.

Clough, ' CAN’T READ THEIR LIPS. When Actor« Do Not Face the Audi- ence It Bothers the Deaf. “Time and time again we’re asked to have our actors face the audience squarely when speaking lines that are of great importance.” a theatrical manager said recently. “The explana tion for the request is generally the same—that deaf people in the nudleuce who depend on lip reading rather than hearing lose the run of the play if some important lines are spoken by a person whose lips can’t be read. An actor or actress who's stuck on posing in profile Is always the despair of the deaf people in the audience, as they say it’s almost Impossible to read Ups In profile. “Out ticket agent hears another side of the same question. People tell him when buying tickets that some one in the party is stone deaf and must read the Ups of the actors in order to fol low the play. Then they ask him on which side of the theater these par ticular seats should be located to make thl3 Up reading the most satisfactory. Often the stage setting decides which wny the actors must face, and if a deaf person gets on the wrong side of the house the play is practically lost.” —New York Sun.
