Sometimes they would stop to rest, and then Smutty would give exhibitions of some of his! tricks, like rolling over, jumping' over Ned's arm, and "playing dead," as! Ned called it. But best of all Smutty likes to jump up in his place and rush off with Ned on the saddle behind him, the wind"blowing the dog's ears back aud barking with delight as he hangs on and balances himself just liké an ac-| robat in a circus.

One of the most extraordinary ecrus- | tacea ever discovered was dredged up by the Prince of Monaco from a depth of 16,000 feet.. It has been named Oplopkorus grimaldi. It is a sort of { shrimp, and its peculiarity is that it squirts from two holes near its mouth a liquid which, on coming into contact with salt water, produces a fine pale i blue light, Absolute darkness reigns in the depths where it lives, but .the little shrimp does not find it necessary to keep 4ts light always burning. This would use up too much 'energy, so it squirts out the illuminating fluid only when it wants to look at something, or perhaps to attract the minute animal culae that form its food. | Many a man talks through his hat | stead of using a telephone a cup and a half | ° a pinch of salt and a small cup | Various Ways to Brighten Up a Home «In Winter. If the housewife wishes to keep cheerful and happy she must provide | for herself surroundings calculated to cheer and uplift. This can never be done by shutting out the sunshine and darkening the rooms with heavy hangings and somber papers. Rath- | er it is her part to furnish her home | with sunny papers and bright dra- peries. This need not mean that the home interior decorators have used chintzes so lavishly in their work of late years that it is considered very smart. They | have produced some startling effects | with the futurist cretonnes and the | elaborate black 'and white chintzes. | Nor can this material by any means | be considered cheap when the good cretonnes sell up to $4 and $5 a yard. It is fortunate, however, for women of moderate means that chintz also sells as low as 12 and 15 cents a yard. With the -aid-of plain; Hght colored wall paper and expensive or inex- | pensive chintz a home can be made to look 10 degrees lighter than it did | when filled with dark velvets and | subdued wall papers. The effect this | change will have on the dispositions of the inmates of the home will quite offset any extra expense incurred im bringing it about. Bright surround- ings are essential to bright natures. Deviled Scallops.

Partly owing to. the fact that she was wedded to an avariclous king ang partly because she was gemerous with the little money allowed her Elizabeth of York, queen of Henry VII, spent but a small amount for dress. She was very often in debt, and the sums she spent were ridiculously small, 20 shillings (85) being the greatest amount expended at any one time. Her gowns werg. mended and turned, and gew waists were made for them, as is shown by the record of bills paid to her tailor. These bills prove that she wore her clothes for a long time, for her gowns were obliged to be newly bemmed, and also that, though a prin. cess of the great house of Plantagenet, she wore shoes costing but 24 cents, which were decorated with tin buckles.

It'is the most remarkable branch of the order of the marsupials, or animals, the pouch being a kind of pocket in which the young are nourished and protected for a long time after birth. The opos- sum is an example of a marsupial in. habiting America, but it bears no out. ward resemblance to a kangaroo, The marsupials arose in very ancient geological times somewhere in the me- sozoic -age, and later on nearly disap. peared except in Australia and neigh- boring islands, where today they con- stitute the characteristic native fauna. There is one curious fact about the kangaroo which appears all the more singular when we reflect upon the great antiquity of the order of the mar- supials. It almost looks gs if this ex- tra Australian animal repre- sents a survival of a style of Animal architecture which was once & with nature, but has since been aban- hind legs: If any of the dinosaurs had a leaping power comparable with that of the kangaroo the terror inspired by their forms must have been matched by that arising from thejr movements, Renfrew And The Patriotic Fund, Ottawa Journal Renfrew's second showing for the Patriotic Fund was like the first a wonderful one, by far the best in Canada so far--and not likely to be approached by anything that re- mains, The $42,000 raised |_equal- led more than $10 per head, or dou- ble the second Ottawa contribution; and Ottawa's second subscription, like her first, ranked high among those of Canadian cities The two Ottawa contributions to- talled $9 per head.
