COLONY OF SEA SQUIRTS.
Curious Form of Life with Which
Bathers and Small Boys Hava
Much Amusement.
Most of the tanks in the aquari
, um have now been relined with
i rockwork, says the New York Sun.
An advantage of rockwork for this
purpose is that it affords places of
lodgment for various forms of
marine life, both vegetable and
animal, which may be introduced
Into the tank either by accident or
by design, to make a further addi
tion to the tank’s attractiveness.
Already in some of the tanks
here these lesser forms, either
planted or of accidental growth,
are beginning to appear; a notable
example of the last-named kind
being found in the salmon rock
fish tanks, in which there may now
be seen, attached to the rocky lin
ing of the tank, a great colony,
some thousands in number, of
the familiar ascidian commonly
known as the sea squirt.
Everybody that has been much
about the water knows the sea
squirt, a leathery creature some
what resembling a rubber water
bottle in shape, with two siphon
tubes like stubby little slightly
curved bottle necks projecting
from its top. The sea squirt takes
its nourishment as the clam does.
It absorbs minute forms of ani
mal life of various sorts, along
with quantities of water, through
one of its siphon tubes, and after
extracting the nutriment it expels
the water through the other.
The sea squirt clings to the
MA/tlrn n 1 An « o L A tm fin/1 "4" A COO
I. VVU.U --
grass, and it is found in many wa
ters. It may be of a dingy white
or gray in color, like those now at
the aquarium, though some sea
squirts are of a dark rich brown,
and there are others of a brilliant
red. The largest of those here are
about an inch and a half in length.
Sea squirts attain a length of two
or three inches or more.
Bathers who know about them
pick sea squirts from the rocks and
play tricks with them by collaps
ing them and so spurting the wa
ter on fellow bathers. Boys liv
ing by the water as in fishing
towns, carry sea squirts to school
with them, in their pockets, and
there squeeze the water out of
them. To collapse one in that man
ner means the end of the sea
squirt.
A sea squirt left out of water by
the receding tide might lie col
lapsed and flat, but it would be
more likely to have taken in wa
ter enough to carry it until the
tide covered it again, and it would
be most likely to be found, be
tween tides, in places where it
would get more or less moisture.
If one should be left exposed for a
longer time than usual on some
bare rock, as it might be by an un
usually low tide, It would be
burned and shriveled and de
stroyed by the sun’s hot rays.
They were probably introduced
Into this tank with shrimp put
into it as food for the rockfish.
Natural Soap.
German, papers report tnai
steps are being taken in Algeria to
manufactare natural soap on a
lage scale from a tree known as
“Sapindus utilis.” This plant,
^hich has long been known in
Japan, China and India, bears a
fruit of about the size of a horse
chestnut, smooth and round. The
color varies from a yellowish
green to brown. The inner part
is of a dark color and has an oily
kernel. The tree bears fruit in
its sixth year and yields from 55
to 220 pounds of fruit, which can
easily be harvested in the fall. By
using water of alcohol the sepona
ceous ingredient of the fruit is ex
tracted. The cost of production is
said to be small and the soap, on
account of possessing no alkaline
qualities, is superior to the ordi
nary soap of commerce.
Pigeons as Smugglers.
A curious utilization of carrier
pigeons was recently attempted in
Belgium. This was making them
carry contraband goods into
France. For a short time 24 pi
geons were let off regularly from
the Belgian dovecot, each bur
dened with a small coil of tobacco.
They arrived at their French des
I tination rather exhausted, and
doubtless glad to be relieved ol
their load. In one case, however,
a pigeon, in making the flight,
proved unequal to the effort, fell
into the Seine and was picked np.
The system was thus found out
and suppressed.
I
THE WOMANLY WOMAN.
1 _
Scntlcneu and Refinement A re the
Chief Element* hi Her
Education.
_
The big American banquet hall of
the Manhattan hotel was crowded
with members of the Emma Willard
association and their friends on the
occasion of the thirteenth annual ban
quet of the organization. Among the
speakers were Chancellor MacCracken,
Bishop Scarborough, of New Jersey,
and Miss Spence, reports the New
York Tribune, of recent date. "Hun
dreds of young men and women," said
Miss Spence, “who have received their
college degrees are not really edu
cated. They are thoroughly instruct
ed, and perhaps amply equipped from
a technical standpoint But education
means so much more than this. It
means individual development, cul
ture, dWaracter. In every walk In life,
to accomplish our purpose, we must
know clearly at the start what we
mean to do. If colleges and schools
would really succeed in turning out
educated men and women in the high
est sense of the word, they must first
define that tens. Is It to stand for
nothing more than Instruction in facte
or other people’s Ideas? Or is it to
include soul culture, life broadening
and true development and efficiency?
To my mind mothers are largely re
sponsible for a child's (especially a
daughter’s) aimless life. The sole de
sire of, alas! so many, is that their
children shall have a good time while
they’re young. And this Is right
enough, but they should remember
that the good time of the butterfly is
not necessarily the good time of the
girl, and that the true good time and
growth of character are not incompat
ible.
“True womanliness should be one of
the chief elements of a young wom
an’s education. The unpardonable sins
of womanhood are hardness and
coarseness, dearth of gentleness and
any guise of selfishness. A virtue that
should be earnestly cultivated by tha
woman of to-day Is a greater sincer
ity in the manners and customs of
society. This is the contribution all
true women should make to the so
ciety of their time. Society needs gen
tle women in the true sense of that
word. Only that education is worth
while which stands for service to tha
world—in some form, material or im
material, and the latter is often the
more real of the two. In fact, the
ideal, whatever it be, Is the real—
an oft said saying, but one as often
forgotten in the details of dally life.
“It is the privilege and no less the
duty of every one who aspires to bo
called an educator to ever hold up this
vision of the ideal, ever ‘follow the
gleam’—live the great revelation in
the details of daily life.”
AN UNLUCKY DEAL.
illustrating the Mistake of a Mas
Who Tries to Help Around
the House.
When a married man gets out of hh
orbit, or off his half of the domesth
jarpet, so to speak, the consequence -
are always more or less disastrous t.
him, says the Detroit Free Press.
“We’ve just moved,” said an unhap
py-looking man in a little neighbor
hood crowd of men who were buyinj
their evening cigars at a corner to
bacco shop. “Or, rather, we are ha’1
moved. Half our household truck ba
gone over to the new place, and hal
Is still with us. Then I sold a lot, too
and got myself in awful hot water.
You know how it is when a man starts
out in his own house to do thin**
without asking his wife."
“Oh, yes; we know,” echoed all the
others.
“In our stable attic,” the man con
tinued, “we had a lot of old stufl
stored. I’ve heard my wife say a dozen
times that we must look it over and
sell a good deal of it the next time we
moved To-day she was over to the
other house, and as I was kind of stand
ing round, not knowing where to take
hold next, along came a Junk man
through the alley. I hailed him and
, took him up In the stable attic; there
1 sold him an old table, an old high
chair, a battered old crib and a car
pet. He gave me six dollars for the lot
I foutffl a box of old battered brass trays,
plaques and picture frames after he was
gone, and peddled those off at a nickel
apiece to some neighborhood children
who were tagging me around all day.
“Of course, a man never really knows
i what he haB sold until his wife tells
him; and to-morrow I’m to chase all
: day after that junk man. I’ve sold our
best parlor carpet, taken up when sum
mer came in, my wife’s own highly
treasured Infant’s high chair and a
crib which was also her mother’s, and
1 a real mahogany table she had stored
away to have done over. She herself
had paid nine dollars for the old table,
and was glad to get it at that. Old tar
blee are getting scarce, she says."
“How about the brass objects?" some
one asked.
“Oh, I’ve got to go around and buy
those back, too,” the man replied, sad
ly. “They were high-art beaten brass
nondescripts which my wife made her
self at the age of 13, and she says her
mother wouldn’t part with them for
i anything.”_
Panned Oysters.
Place small squares of toast In a pan,
place on each one as many oysters as can
be put on without crowding; season with
pepper and salt and a bit of butter and
cook covered in the oven until plump
and curled at the edges. Serve very hot.

POLITICAL POKER.
(iMtlona of Great Moment Delta
mined by the Game In tha
State of Kansas.
Topeka Is much agitated over revela
tions of draw poker in high places, and
nothing could better show than this up
roar what inroads the civilization of the
east is making ou the life of the bound
less prairies. Once upon a time, states
the Kansas City Journal, draw poker was
to Kansas what bridge whist is to tbs
parlors of the fashionable. It was prac
Used as an art. a pasUme, a profession.
No one thought then of concealing hit ■
play of the game, but, rather, it was a j
subject of pride and boasting. Indeed,
It was more than a game, for it served at
times In the adjudication of the most
serious problems of state or government
At present the law of Kansas recog
nises the game of chance known at
"drawing lots” as the proper means ol
deciding all ties in elections, but form
erly draw poker was resorted to aa s
more orderly means of compromising
For example, in one of the weetern coun
ties, when two amiable gentlemen tied
for the office of representative they
played a game of “freeze-out” to de*
termlne which should enjoy the office
Again, not so many years ago, when the
senate committee on congressional ap
portionment came to a deadlock over tha
divers plans for dividing the state Into
congress districts, the members ad
journed to a room In the Copeland, took
each a generous stack of chips and
played to a finish. Under the terms o|
this historical game the committeeman
who lost his chips withdrew himself and
his apportionment plan from further
consideration; and when the game was
reduced to two gentlemen, the one who
froze the other out fixed the plan of ap
portionment, which stands with llttls
change as the plan of to-day.
Volumes could be written of poker In
cidents In Kansas. Once a well known
congressman, who, by the way, has reap
nan unil In TT otipoo nn 1111 OO Vl Q il t A TTI Abl
♦he charge made by some overprudlsh
people that he was addicted to the game
of poker. He appealed to his political
asoclates to help him out. The one who
came most energetically to his recuw
was Capt. Bill Hackney, the Winfield
statesman. “I am in a position to state,"
certified the doughty captain, “that Mr.
Blank is less addicted to the game than
any man I ever played with."
More elaborate but quite as effectlv*
was the defense once made by Steve Os
born, ex-speaker of the Kansas house.
Some 12 years ago Steve was running foi
reelection to the office of district Judge
in western Kansas. The pops got out ■
handbill accusing him of being a “poket
player” and circulated it widely.
IMPROVEMENTS IN TRAVEL.
I!em fortab1e Fittings of Railway
Cars for the Benefit of Snb
arbaa Passengers.
Some newspaper attention has lately
been attracted to the “club cars" by
which little groups of wealthy New York
and Chicago business men increase the
comfort of the daily trips between their
suburban homes and their city offices,
states Youth’s Companion.
Each car Is In effect a club house on
wheels. Most of the gorgeous fittings of
the ordinary cars are removed, and simp
ler and more tasteful decorations are
substituted for them. Movable wicker
chairs replace the fixed seats. Electric
fans cool the air in summer. There are
dressing rooms, libraries, appartments
for the women, in short, everything
which ean contribute to the comfort of
the ^travelers.
The cars are open only to members o!
the group which hires them, but they
represent merely the climax of a con
stant Improvement In travel, both by
water and by rail.
At the other end of the scale we'see the
•teerage accommodations of the ocean
steamships. Persons who are familiar
only with the horrible conditions for
which “a steerage passage” used to stand
would be astonished If they were to visit
a modern liner. More room, more light,
more privacy, better food, better sleep
lng and sanitary accommodations and
an abundance of water, both for drinking
and for bathing, are now possible even
to the poor Immigrant. The steerage
passage of to-day is a more comfortable
mode of travel than was the second
cabin passage ten years ago. First
cabin accommodations have Improved
correspondingly. One of the newest
vessels has between 40 and 60 suites ol
rooms, each provided with Its private
bath.
What is most needed now is a substitu
tion of wicker or leather seats for the
ansanitary plush so dear to American
car builders and album makers, and
greater seating capacity In street cars.
Joke on the Professor.
Once upon a time Prof. Wilson, <4
Edinburgh, wrote on the blackboard la
his laboratory:
"Prof. Wilson informs his student*
that he has this day been appointed hon

In the covtrse of the morning he had
occasion to Wave the room, and foundoo
his return that a student had added to
the announcement the words:
