FEET OF SEA BEASTS.
Their Appearance When the Skin Is
Stripped Off.
Of all the feet that I have looked at
1 know only one more utterly ridicu¬
lous than the twisted flipper on which
the sea lion props his great hulk In
front, and that is the forked fly flap
which extends from the hinder part of
the same. How can it be worth any
beast’s while to carry such an absurd
apparatus with it just for the sake of
getting out into the air sometimes and
pushing oneself about on the ice and
being eaten by polar bears? The por¬
poise has discarded one pair, turned the
other into decent fins and recovered a
grace and power of motion in water
which is not equaled by the greyhound
on land. Why have the seals hung
back? 1 believe 1 know the secret, it
is the baby! No one knows where the
porpoise and the whale cradle their
newborn infants—it Is so difficult to
pry into the domestic ways of these
sea people—but evidently the seals
cannot manage it, so they are forced
to return to the land when the cares of
maternity are on them.
I have called the feet of these sea
beasts ridiculous things, and so they
are as we see them. But strip off the
skin, and, lo, there appears a plain
foot, with its five digits, each of sev¬
eral joints, tipped with claws, nowise
essentially different, in short, from
that with which the toad or frog first
set out in a past too distant for our
infirm imagination. Admiration itself
is paralyzed by a contrivance so sim¬
ple, so transmutable and so sufficient
for every need that time and change
could bring.—Strand Magazine.
A Willing Scot.
Dean Ramsay has a story of that
border hostility between English aud
Scots which used to go to baiter
lengths. A Scottish drover was re¬
turning from the south in particularly
bad humor with the English, having
done poor business, when he saw in
Carlisle a notice offering a reward of
£50 to any one who would volunteer
for the unpopular task of hanging a
condemned criminal. Seeing his chance
to make up for his bad market aud
comforting himself with the thought
that he was unknown there, he did
the job and got his fee. As he was
leaving he was taunted as a beggarly
Scot, doing fo^ money what no Eng¬
lishman would. But he auswered, with
a cheerful grin, “I’ll hang ye a’ at the
price.”
Stopped In Time.
“When you do (ell a lie,” remarked
Hamlet Fatt, “tell an elaborate lie."
“I don't know about that.” said Ywr¬
ick Hamm. “Following that policy
would have lost me the job I just got.”
“How so?”
“A manager wanted to know if 1 had
ever played Richelieu, i never have,
but I said yes. 1 was about to say
that 1 origiuated the part.”—Louisville
Cour ler-J ournal.
Ways to an Untimely End.
The catalogue of the ways and means
employed by otherwise sensible people
to incur the risk of disease and an
untimely end include running to catch
trolley cars, breathing rapidly through
the mouth instead of deeply through the
nose, eating too hastily and overeating,
“slouching” instead of standing and
walking in an erect attitude, using un¬
necessary stimulants, failing to exter¬
minate the pestilential housefly, which
goes blithely about carrying the germs
of disease; sleeping in ill ventilated
rooms and failing to protect food from
flies and other insects by proper screen¬
ing.—Philadelphia Press.
Hard Luck.
Bob Footlite (actor) — Failure? 1
should think it was! The whole play
was ruined. She—Gracious! How was
that? Bob Footlite—Why, at the end
of the last act a steam pipe burst and
hissed me off the stage.
The Telegraph.
The first royal speech transmitted by
telegraph was that delivered by the
late Quezon Victoria when she opened
parliament on Nov. 15, 1837. The
speed of transmission was fifty-five
words a minute.
A Useless Effort.
Visitor—I suppose you men in public
life weigh your words? Senator—
What’s the use? Some newspaper fel¬
low is sure to come along and monkey
with the scales —Judge.
Exhaustive observation Is an element
of every great achievement.—Spenser.
