The variety in climatic and other condi­ tions, the nearness to the great conti­ nent of Asia and to the chief center of marine life, the East Indian Islands; its relation to the warm black current of Kuro Shivo (the gulf stream of the orient) and to the cold current from Bering sea, all tend to give variety to the fauna of Its seas. Especially nu­ merous and varied are the fishes of Japan. It has been noted that the fish fauna of Japan bears a striking resem­ blance to that of the Mediterranean, and Dr. Gunther -has suggested that this can be accounted for by suppos­ ing that In recent times a continuous coast line and sea passage extended from one region to the other, the isth­ mus of Suez not existing.--Popular Sci­ ence Monthly.

Hair tad One*. There is a jnajor In a certain Eng­ lish regiment who has a great con­ tempt for incapacity of any kind and is somewhat impatient into the bar­ gain. Some time ago be was in charge of a detachment of men, and a ser­ geant complained that he could get no nfian to undertake the duty of barber to'the company. Is there. no gardener in the com­ pany ?" asked the major testily. "I seem to remember one. Send him to me." The man was duly sent, but on re­ ceiving orders to act as barber ventur­ ed to expostulate. "Great heavens!" yelled the major. If you can cut grass, you can cut hair! Go and do it" The man went, but what the others said is unprintable. Uncalled For Courtesy. The Vlcomte Toussalnt was for.nerly n colonel in the French army and may­ or of Toulouse. He was a brave man and a dashing officer. During one of the hottest engagements of the terri­ ble year, noticing that his troops were bending forward under a galling fire to escape the bullets of the enemy while he alone maintained an erect po­ sition, he exclaimed, "Since when, I should like to know, has so much po­ liteness been shown to the Prussians T* The sarcasm took instantaneous effect, for the soldiers rushed forward and carried everything before them. Cats la Ancient Wales. An ancient statute ascribed to Howel the Good, a Welch prince, who ruled in regulated the price of cats. A penny was the price of a kitten before Its eyes were open, twopence until it had caught its first mouse, fourpence when It was old enough for combat He who stole a cat from the royal granaries forfeited either a milk ewe, with Its fleece and lamb, or as much wheat as would cover the body of the cat suspended by its tall, with its nose touching the ground. A penny was a coin of great purchasing power.ln. the tenth century. O Bean ths Sifoatvs TOnZA. i The Kind You Haw Always BwifftR Did You Ring?

Why then buy an inferior paint just be­ cause it costs a few cents per gallon less than a well known first-class brand? That is folly, for a cheap paint is made of poor material and seldom laets more than a year, whereas a good one should wear for five years, at least. Our CROWN COTTAGE COLORS will not chalk, peel or scale, and in covering capacity and durability is superior to all other brands, including white lead and oil. Consider­ ing these facts, why not buy the best and save money. GUARANTEE We guarantee that when properly applied on a surface in proper condi­ tion Crown Cottage Colors will give better resnlts than any other paint (including White Lead ond Oil) and in all cases where it does no< and it is the fault of the material used we will do the work over again at our own expense.
