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

There are. of course, all kinds of
Hindus. 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. The line I
am ou now is a well dressed tine and

ance. It is that way with every man
in the business. 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.

AN IRISH LEGEND.
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.’

mies that count, eh?’—Cleveland

a Good Investment.
“It is mighty hard," said an unfortu­
nate workingman some time ago to the
writer, “to save up a thousand dollars
by laying aside a dollar or two a week
and then to take it out of the savings
bank and lose it to a get rich quick
swindler, as I have just done.” The
poor fellow could work and save, but
he had not had even a kindergarten
education in finance, else his story
would have been different. 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.

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.”

that he asked if he were ill. ‘Come in­

the latter. ‘I have killed the colonel.’
At a table In a quiet corner Thackeray
took the manuscript from his pocket
