JELLYFISH. |
One of the Peculiar Forms of the Animal
Life of the Sea.
.} Upon the sand at the water's
'edge there lies a particle of jellylike
substance, inconspicuous and
.lmost invisible. But in early spring
one moves in such a world of wonders,
the merest atoms of tissue
are seen to be informed with such
varied and vivid life, that I lift the
particle carefully upon a shell and
drop it into a jar of water to see
a strange unfoldment, a beautiful
transformation. The central mass
expands into a double chambered
! bell of pure and transparent ves;
ture, and these gossamer globes be!
gin to contract with regular rhyth?
tnic motion, lifting the creature up!
ward and softly urging it forward
| by their quickly repeated pulsa!
tions, while from below four gradj
ually lengthening tentacles trail
! backward with graceful undulations.
; This beautiful medusa, the Sarsia
1 mirabilis, is the earliest of our jelly;
fishes to appear in spring. By its
! pleasing and graceful form, by its
; eager Xnd tireless movements, it
! seems to visit our scores at this sea|
6on almost like an Ariel of the deep,
! voiceless, it is true, but throbbing
[ with its message that the ocean's
! submerged shores and its dark abys;
mal chasms are all alike awakening
! to the spirit that transforms the
j upper world. One is at a loss to
| comprehend these creatures, so dif;
ferent in form from any that we are
' wont to associate with animal life,
for, although without a head, they
are yet capable of sensing the light
and auditory vibrations. Without

yet responsive to tactile impressions
and, although of such fragile and
gossamer texture, are yet tne vehicle
of vivid and intensive life. The
movements of the body and the
contained impulses that prompt
them seem one and indivisible. The
desires of its beipg seem themselves
to urge it forward. Like a thought
it seems momentarily embodied or
an emotion precipitated into the
visible as it impulsively mounts upward
in eager quest or in apparent
disappointment relaxes its efforts
and subsides with all its drifting
appendages a-stream, only after a
moment to palpitate again with refreshed
intention and slowly pulse
on its softly insistent way.?H. J.
Shannon in Harper's Magazine.

To have perfect health we must
have perfect digestion, and it is very
important not to permit of any delay
the moment the stomach feels
out of order. Take something at
once that you know will promptly
and unfailingly assist digestion.

POPULAR PHRASES.
lomt Familiar Lines That Are Con- ;
stantly Misquoted.
Critics who assert that we get
more slovenly and careless every day
in speech, manners and customs
have proof of part of their assertion
at any rate in the manner in which 1
the writings of famous authors are
continually being misquoted and .
distorted. In Coleridge's "Ancient j
Mariner" are these words: "Water,
water everywhere, nor any drop to
drink." Ninety-nine people in c
-an 1 ti -t ,1 /] aat\ [
Iiuiiuicu cav auu xivo a w i
drink" for the last line.
Again, how often we hear people
sing, "Rule, Britannia, Britannia
rules (instead of rule) the waves/'
and quote Macbeth as saying, j
"Screw your courage to the sticking :
point," instead of "sticking place." |
Those two familiar lines of Samuel
Butler's, "He that complies against
his will is of his own opinion still,"
are usually misquoted as, "Convince |
a man against his will, he's of the j
6ame opinion still."
Shakespeare never wrote "It's an j
ill wind that blows nobody good,"
although this is the version generally
given of the correct words from
"Henry VI.," which run, 'Til blows
the wind that profit? nobody." Nathaniel
Lee is similarly treated in
regard to his phrase, "When Oreeks
joined Qreeks then was the tng of
war," which more often than not is
misquoted as, "When Greek meets
AW aavmao tKsa 4n rr vor "
VJfl U1CU VVU1V9 wuv V* n*?.
"Money it the root of all evil* it
a travesty of the line from the first
Epistle of St. Paul to Timothy,
"The love of money is the root of
all evil.* Another Scripturil passage
which is often incorrectly
quoted is the sentence from Proverbs,
"Pride goeth before destruction
and an haughty spirit before a
fall." The popular version is,
"Pride goes before a fall."
That fine phifese from Wolfe's
poem, 'The Burial of Sir John
Moore," which runs, "But we left
him alone with his glory," is very
badly treated by people who say,
"Alone in his glory," while the correct
words, as written by Longfellow,
of the phrase so often used,
"All things come to him who waits/'
are, "All thing3 come around to
him vho will but wait."?London
Tit-Bit*.
"Fop Short."
The names bestowed upon some
of the small southern negroes remind
one of those of the o'd
Roundhead days?Hope Above Williams.
Have Faith to Re Save 1 John
Mitchell, and so on. Not long ago
a visitor in Richmond having
his shoes polished bv a little eoal
black specimen about eighteen
inc hes in height, but possessed of
gleaming white teeth and rolling
eyes.
"What is your name?" the visitor
idly asked. "Gen, sah," was the
reply, accompanied by a grin of
startling proportions.

or, who had some idea of the fondness
of negroes for titles, inquired.
"No, sah; don't know as 'tis," was
the reply, "abbreviation" evidently
being too much for him. "Mah sho'

in their young days, and they will
probably add that no living writer
can for a moment compare with the
generation of authors that has passed
away, by which/ they generally
mean Dickens, Thackeray, George
Eliot, Bnlwer, Trellope, Bronte>
Hawthorne, etc. We have, however,
every now and then a report from
librarians of large libraries which
goes far to disprove the correctness
of the complaints of these "old
souls," 6ince they show that many
of the authors named are still in
great demand by the public and hold
; their own very well alongside of the
books which are in favor for the
moment, and it was not a little surprising
to find that in a table based
on those reports "David Copperfield"
headed the list with a percentage
of 92 and that "Ivanhoe"
followed closely with 88.?Charleston
