JUST ABOUT A BOY. A Brooklyn Lad's Predicament and What j a Lie ile Told Cost IHm The boys in tlni lower p i Van Buren street, Brooklyn, just off Tompkins park, have been building bonfires. Frame houses line the street on both sides, and the resi dents have complained to the police of the danger to them from fire. One of the boys had had strict orders from his father never to share in the building of those fires, and, be ing an obedient boy, he never col lected the material for the fire or contributed the matches. His fa- tber had not forbidden him, howev er, to furnish some raw potatoes for •a feast by baking them in the em- )ors. It was this consciousness of inno- conco that made the boy stand when a policeman hove in sight around the corner the other day. All the other lads skedaddled. The police man came up with a stride. “Did you build this fire?” “No, sir,” said the lad without the least show of fear. The police man began to respect him, hut it would not do to relax his severity. “Whatchegotinyerhan?" he said sternly, and running his words all together to impress the boy. The hoy began to tee that the presence of the potato was prima facie evidence in the policeman’s eyes of guilt, but he was still con scious of innocence, and he replied frankly: “Just a p ’ate.” “Whatyrgointodowithit?” The full gravity of the situation now dawned upon the boy’s mind, and under the sternness of the po liceman he saw that something had to he done. Visions of the jail that every hoy dreads had begun to float before bis eyes, and be made an ef fort to resort to desperate means. “Oh, I’m going to eat it.” “T- -c- -nt raw potatoes?” said THE GREEDY STARFISH. SKINS OF Fo: ES AND OTTERS. .n. ’:C, 'axing a little and v ords together in a His manner gave and he replied with secretly amused the .. of which the lad I cat ’em. You see, I “On, yes, like ’em.” “Where do you live?” asked the cop, turning his head to hide a smile. Tho boy told him, and boy and cop went over to a basement- door. To the servant who answered tho ring the policeman said: “Does this boy live here?” “Yes, sir.” “Well, now, then (very st • ), I charge you on your honor, toll me truly, docs this hoy eat raw’ pota toes?" Tho policeman was nearly burst ing with laughter, and the servant stood there in blank astonishment. Tho boy was wildly desperate. He was surely booked for jail, all be cause ho had been honest enough not to run when the policeman came. The only one who could save him was that servant. He must give her a tip, and quick as a flash he spoke before tho girl could ask tho police man what ho meant: “Oh, yes, you know I eat ’em, don’t you? Why, ? on can both see for yourselves. I iiise ’em. I eat ’em. skins and all.” Then tho boy smashed his teeth into tho potato, and that Brooklyn cop was mean enough to stand there and make the boy eat half of it. Tho cop could endure it no longer, and with a laugh said: “See here, youngster, if I catch you eating any more of them things I’ll send you up sure.” And then he rolled off. The worst of tho experience to that hoy was not his fright nor the lecture his father gave him to the effect that it w add have been bettor to toll the trut h all tho way through, oven after ho became soared, nor the inconvenien ce ‘ ho raw potato caused him, hut th» fa-1 that since ikon when ho tm ns up Ins nose at some dish at the t able his parent says: "Well, I guess that any boy who likes raw potatoes can oat that dish or go without.” All of which illustrates the truth of tho fact that sometimes, especial ly for boys, it does not pay to tell a lie.—New York oun. A Wonderful! Feeder With fta Appatlto For Oy*t©n* In th« Shell. t The gray bearded captain of a dredgeboat sat sunning himself on tho quarter rail of his ernf., and he was telling a visitor s-. me l.icts about that pest of the oyster plant er’s life, the starfish. “It’s qneer, mighty queer," said he, “to see how little the average well educated man knows about the creatures one gets to know so well in my line of busi ness. Take starfish, for example. Here, this very morning, a thin faced chap, who wore spectacles and acted for all tho world like a school master, picked up one of the dead stars on the pier there and asked me if I had ‘any with the root and stalk attached.’ “I suppose I looked stupid for a minute or two, because he informed me next that those v ere the blos soms of a very beautif si sea plank I was mad at his dumb ignorance and told him my men were so har ried when they hoed and weeded them out from the oyster plants that they generally broke the stems. “Yes, sir, the star is a beautiful and a wonderfully made animal.- When yon piok it out of the dredge and hold it up, it seems utterly help less. Yet no creature in the sea is more tenaoions of life, more cun ning or more destructive of the iife around it. Its greed is almost past human belief. "Very few fishes, so far as can be learned, prey upon them, the storms seldom tear them from their deep hiding places, and they multiply with astonishing rapidity. If some irate crab or lobster bites off one of the star’s rays, a new growth speed ily replaces the old one. Its digest ive system is so powerful that be side it the oast iron organs of them trioh seem as the stomach of a weak dyspeptic. Oyster shells, the most- fatal and indestructible mor-- • which can assail the insides of a y land animal, do not cause the star r. moment of distress. “It seems to scent foodorpr'v from a long way off. As you lo- down on a -\ oal oyster bed yon rn:. see a big sUv from a j oint 100 fi t • away change bis course and < straight to whore a fat oyster lies Their gliding movements r. > stealthy, hut swift. Once they f upon the bivalve its days—yes, iis minutes—are- numbered. 'on s. the underside of this follow—tke bright, yellow side, I moan. The back, as yon notice, is purple, c-v ored with blunt spines. Well, tie long narrow slits r» 1 .ating from center are the mouth anil s :on combined. The star sim.'V o, itself—lays bare its eter il ac my, so to speak—and, infolding the hard shelled victim, stretches itself hack, having wrapped up the food as a storekeeper wraps up a bundle in paper. “Then the star crawls away to some secluded spot and lets the whole thing digest. The shells and other irritating substances do not seem to inconvenience him in the least. When he has sucked all the nutriment from the oyster, he un folds the package and disgorges the shells, sand and gravel. He is then ready for a fresh meal. “The damage they do ns is incal culable. Wink' s, dri" s, drumflsh and poaching L.-hermr i all annoy us, hut they are nothing when com pared with these five pointed ras cals. But with all that, still I ad mire them. Their untiring care of the baby stars until big enough to shift for themselves, their knowing ways in time of danger and their quick hunting instincts all command the respect even of an enemy. If those college chaps would study the stars of the sea more—there are some 40 varieties—and the stars of the sVy less, they wouldn’t got such stiff nooks.”—New York World. •mrii.

There was a time whi n this animal was very plentiful off the California coast. The Russians are largely re sponsible for their destruction at the time they founded a settlement at Fort Ross, at the mouth of the Russian river, in Sonoma county. Some sea otters are still captured off the California const, and there are a few small vessels specially engaged off the California coast sea otter hunting, but Alaskan waters are tho chief sonroo of supply of this class of fur hearing animals. Sea otters are always found afloat, and the hunter can capture them in no other way than by she. ing. The deeper and colder the watt r they are found in the better the fur and the higher the price the banter secures for the pelk A first class sea otter skin in the raw is worth $500 to the hunter. The best sea otter pelts taken off the California coast will yield $250 each to the hunter. There may be elements, however, in the pelt which may reduce the value of the Alas kan pelt to $20, and that of the Cali fornia coast to $5. The 'coast of Japan has been a good hunting ground for sea otter, and during the past 25 years several small craft have sailed from San Francisco and San Diego to Japan, outfitted for ot ter bunting. Almost all sea otter skins are marketed in Russia, where the fur is in demand. Next in value to the sea otter is the fox among the fur bearing ani mals of the Paciflo coast. Six kinds are hunted for their pelts, which range from 20 cents to $00 each in the raw. These are the silver, cross, red, blue, gray and white. Something very rare among foxes i« a black coated animal, and tho fur of such a fox commands a fancy price, often running as high as *150. To supply the demand for black fox furs fur riers prepare an imitation by dyeing the fur of the roil fox, which is the chonpi v pelt of t. o fo:; famil; . ;e best "red” not being worth to vno trappers more than $2.25 per sk; i If we except the natural black fox, tho highest priced fox pelts are tho "silver” and the “blue.” Atrnpiior gets for a perfect silver fox pelt us be strips it from the carcass about $90 and for the best blue fox p 't about $22. An effort is being made on t • Aleutian islands to farm the ’ fox. Some of the small is’,..!:, the group suitable for the pu: of farming have been leased by some of the old trappers of t he Hu ’- son Bay and Alaska Commerc-.i.l companies for a nominal rent, and these have been stocked with foxes. Tlie animals are stockaded and re u- larly fed by tho farmer, who is t. ually a “squaw" man—that is, one living with a native woman, who is settled with his family on the is land. In -time tho animals become domesticated and are then easily managed. Furriers are watching the experiment with considerable interest.—ban Francisco Chronicle. A Home That II j Too Man.

A member of the Metropolitan fire brigade, seated in his street shell r and scowling at the curious public who peep in at him or hurrying from one station to another, with his ax and helmet slung over his shoulder, is not seen to advantage. He looks surly, and that Is precisely the feeling that is most seldom dis played by firemen. They are an in- teresting body of men. Most of them have been sailors, and. as a rule, they retain the free and easy Jollity for which seamen have al ways been celebrated. The brigade of which they are members has been in existence for only 30 years, hnt the origin of the fire brigade move ment takes us hack to very ancient history indeed. There wore bri gades before the great fire of 1666, when each parish employed a few men whose duty it was to attend outbreaks of fire and do whatever they could to prevent the conflagra tion spreading. Their only equip ment consisted of a few ladders and hand squirts about equal to those nsed by our gardeners, and they could not venture too near the fire lest they should spoil the gold laoe on their uniforms. In spite of the. terrible fires that from time to time arose in London, no serious effort seems to have been made to render the tire brigade more efficient until the end of last century, when a brigade was formed by the insur ance companies. Thirty years later the question was again brought for ward, and the result was the forma tion of a much more effective bri gade nnder James Braidwood. a di v er and fearless Scotsman.

The for mer of course remains quite still, while the latter raises him and car ries him down the ladder to the i opening of the shoot. Here the res cuer places the supposed victim bead downward in the net, and, throwing himself into the same position, pro ceeds to work his way to the ground, taking care that the aesoent is not too rapid. There are of course oth er methods of resoue, and if the per sons to be rescued retain their con sciousness and calmness the danger is not nearly so great. An item of drill that tries the nerve of the men is that of jumping from a window over 20 feet from the ground into a sheet held out by their comrades be low. —London Sketch. Hot TiAmm for Miiij.
