Some fishes have teeth and some havenone at all. In some the teeth are found upon the tongue, in some in the throat, and some in the stomach. Some draw their food by suction; the sturgeon is one of this class. The jelly -fish absorbs its food by wrapping its body around the prey it covets. The star -fish fastens itself to its victim, turns its stomach wrong side out, and engulfs its dinner Without the formality of swallowing it through a mouth first,much less of asking permission. Then there is a peculiar little crab -the horee shoe crab -which -chews up its food with its legs or claws before it passes the morsels over to its mouth. While other crabs and lobsters masticate their food with their jaws, and afterwards complete the Work with an extra eat of teeth, which they find conveniently located in their stomachs. So there are all sorts of methods for those regularly toothless, and the fishes whioh have teeth show almost as great a diversity in the number, style and arrangement of them. The ray or skate " has a mouth set transversely across its head, the jaws work- ing with a rolling motion like two hands set back to back. In the jaws are three rows of flat teeth, set like a mosaic pavement, and between these rolling jaws the fish crushes oysters and other mollusks like 80 many nuts." The carp's teethare set beck in the pherynx, so that it actually masticates its food in its throat; while the sea urchin has five teeth surrounding its stomach, and working with a peculiar centralized motion, which makes them do as good service as if they numbered hundreds. And these are only a very few of the odd methods in which fishes eat.-Harper's Young People. Exeter. Bps, -Mrs. George Couplaod and Mrs. M.

He went to a Scotch village by engagement, and was met at the etation by a deputation of old gentlemen, who conduct- ed him to his hotel, and thence to the lec- ture, hall. After the enterteinment they conducted him back to the hotel, where his fee was paid, end the next morning accom- panied him to the station. When they ar- rived there the spokesman of the party said to him: "You'll be very sorry to hear that we find, on making up the accounts, we are exactly one pound fourteen shillings and sixpence out of pocket by your lecture. We thought you would not like to 'leave the town with that upon your mind, so we give you the opportunity of returning the deficit, and enabling you with a clear con- science to say, we have not lost by your visit." The lecturer replied, "It is most kind of you to afford me this opportunity, and I will carefully consider the smetter." He did consider it till the day of his death, ten yeare after. -English Paper. The Expulsion of Ants, The New York Observer has a correapond- ent who solves the problem as follows : "Having had years of torment with ants, both black and ted, we lighted on the fol- lowing remedy, which with ye has worked like magic: One spoonful tartar emetic, one spoonful of sugar, mixed into a thin sirup. As it evaporates or is. carried off add ingredients as needed. A sicker lot of pests would be hard to find. Whether they im- part the result to the home firm or whether all are killed ; I trow not. Certainly it is that they do not pay us a second visit. For ants on the lewn, a spoonful of Paris "green' cut with alcohol and made into sirup with sugar and water, can be put on pieces of glass or crockery. -cover from domestic pets -and the slaughter will be satisfactory."
