One of the Peculiar Forms of the An?mal Life of the Sea. Upon the sand at the water's edge there lies a particle of jellylike substance, inconspicuous and almost 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 narticlc carcfullv unon a shell and i # v r 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 vesture, and these gossamer globes be?in to contract with regular rhythmic motion, lifting the creature upward and softly urging it forward by their quickly repeated pulsations, while from below four grad ually lengthening tentacles trail backward with graceful undulations. Phis beautiful medusa, the Sarsia mirabilis, is the earliest of our jellyBshes to appear in spring. By its pleasing and graceful form, by its eager and tireless movements, it seems to visit our shores at this season almost like an Ariel of the deep, voiceless, it is true^ but throbbing with its message tnat the ocean'6 submerged shores and its dajk abyssal chasms are all alike awakening to the spirit that transforms the jpper world, une is ar a loss 10 jomprehend these creatures, so different in form from any that we are vont to associate with animal life, for, although without a head, they ire yet capable of sensing the light ind auditory vibrations. Without lands, arms or antennae, thejr are ret responsive to tactile impressions ind, although of such fragile and foseamer texture, are yet the vehi:le of vivid and intensive life. The novements of the body and the contained impulses that prompt hem seem one and indivisible. The lesires of its being seem themselves o urge it forward. Like a thought t seems momentarily embodied or in emotion precipitated into the risible as it impulsively mounts upvard in eager quest or in apparent lisannointment relaxes its efforts If ind subsides with all its drifting ippendagea a-strearo, only after a noment to palpitate again with rereshe<! intention and slowly pulse >n its softly insistent way.?H. J. Shann n in Harper's Magazine. Tho Scot's Gratituds. An old fanner coming home from he Paisley market lost his pocketx>ok, containing a considerable sum >f money, in the station. He looked for it, but could not find it, and lad given up all hopes when a news>oy said to nim: "Here, mon. A've tan' yer book." The guidman was overflowing rith latitude and expressed himlelf thus: 'Thank ye, ma lad. If re happen tae be passin' oor farmlouse, step in, an' A'll gie ye a guid Irink o* soor milk."?Dundee Adrertiser. Saved His Molasses. A traveler came along to the gate )f a humble cabin in a town in Altbama just as an old negro handed i couple of jugs to his son, who was ibout ten years of age, and said, 'Xow, Julius, yo' gwan down to de grocery an' git a quart o' treacle in >ne ob dem jugs an' hurry back." >Yhen the boy had gone the traveler aid to the father: "You didn't tell him to get anyhing in the other jug. Is he going 0 leave it at the grocery?" "Xo, sah; gwan to bring it right jack home," he replied. "But why send two jugs to get a |nart of treacle?" "It's jes' dis way, sah: If he has 1 jug in each hand, he can't go dip>in' his finger in the treacle an' eatn' it as he comes along."?Detroit rree Press. Jeff. Davis* Birthday. The 100th anniversary of the urthday of President Jefferson l)avs will occur en Jnne 3, 1908. The Tonfederate veterans, association and rarious other Memorial associations rnve suggested that this day be oberved throughout the South to teach mportant lessons connected with he work and life of this great citi;en. It is a good opportunity to mpress important lessons in conlection with the history of the Southern Confederacy and period mmediately preceding it. A great aiany schools will close before that date, so I suggest that you urge your teachers to take such time, as may 3uit best for each school, for some important lessons and exercises of this kind.
