Lives in the Mud.
Some fish are very particular in re
gard to the purity of the water in
which they live, says Nature Magazine,
but not so the catfish, for it will live
and thrive in the muddiest and most
stagnant waters. If the air supply of
water becomes insufficient it will rise
to the surface and take in air through
the mouth.
Ram’s Horns Curved.
The “Big Horn” is a stocky, sturdy
animal, surprisingly agile in spite of
its weight, says Nature Magazine. An
average size ram will turn the scales
at 250 pounds, whUe an occasional
specimen will weigh 350. Both male
and female have horns, those of the
ram being gracefully curved.
^ There’s a Difference.
Men are much more unwilling to
have their weaknesses and their im
perfections knowm than their crimes;
and if you hint to a man that you
think him silly, ignoftmt, or even ill
bred, or awkward, he will hate you
more and longer than if you tell him
plainly you think him a rogue.
Where Platinum Is Found.
Platinum is found in small gray
particles along with other metals, in
cluding gold and chrome-iron. Occa
sionally it is discovered in the form
of nuggets, which are naturally ex
tremely valuable. A 25-pound nug
get of platinum would at the present
time be worth over $30,000.
Better Dead Than Alive.
There are thousands of men in the
country who say they are willing to
die for the people; and I’m sorry some
of them do not do it. Living, they
make a greati deal of unnecessary
trouble—Ed Howe’s Monthly.

der one roof is in Moscow.* It is a
gigantic department store, or bazaar,

Too Late.
Now comes one Egyptologist with
Jhe declaration that Cleopatra was
neither a beauty nor a vamp, that she
really thought she was married to
Caesar, and that she was the mother
of twins. It’s too late to put this stuff
before us, belongirig as we do to the “I
am dying, Egypt, dying” era of civili
zation.
How He Sets Nectar.

nectar of flowers which it sucks up
