'The Little Bugs You Often Find Under a Decayed Log. Every one has seen the curious little flat gray creatures that scurry out of sight when you lift a decayed log or a moss covered stone in the woods or oear the water. They are the arma- dillidia, or isopods of the genus oni: scoides, commonly called the arma- dillo, sow bug and pill bug. They are really not bugs at all, but crustaceans or distant relatives of the crab, with gills provided with air tubes | not unlike the air tubes through which lusects breathe all over their body. A favorite food of frogs, toads and sala- manders, the pill bug itself subsists largely on decaying vegetable matter, and some believe it to be a useful scavenger, According to the Zoological Society Bulletin, the namé armadillo was giv. en it because of its habit when dis turbed of rolling itself up into a ball, DON'T BE A DULL MAN. And Don't Have to Say "I Didnt Think," or "1 Didn't Realize." "The dull, man is a bad wan." says Amold Beunett in the Woman's Home Companion.

Franz von Suppe, famous as an op- eretta composer, whose "Fatinitza" is perhaps best knowu of all his works, fared badly in the financial disposal of it Kranz, then a Vienna publisher, pur- chased the piece before it had been able, and it saves a lot of trouble--to oneself. But it is to be condemued. "Yet If a man Is abselutely dull, If be Is utterly without imagination. how can be realize, how can he put himself in the other man's place? Is he not to be pitied instead of anathematized? "As to that, I will tell you some thing: There is ng such person as the absolutely dull man, the man abso lutely without Imagination.

Mr. Seeley, who was at the wheel, fell out as the car went over the first time, but the others went to the bottom of the ravine, Mr. McKinnon being the only one to sustain painful injuries. He was rather badly cut about the legs, but Mrs. Seeley and little son and Mrs, McKinnon almost miracu- fously escaped with a severe shak- ing up and nervous shock, The car, too, was little damaged consid- ering the unusual treatment to which #t had been subjected and af- ter being hauled back on the road- way was able to return to Pembroké on its own power, It was quite an adventure for the motoring party and one 'which they will not soon forget. age HOME PORTRA in Lockport, N.Y., the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Courtenay.
