Some years ago chinchilla# were plentiful, hut owing to the enor­ mous demand for the fur and the reckless way in which the In­ dians killed them' there are now few left. The Peruvian government has passed a law that prohibits for five years the killing of chinchillas and the exporting of their skins.

They locate two cardinal points of tl^e compass, and then folding tlieir hands together Ip such a manner that the forefingers point upward and In opposite direc­ tions, they observe the shadow cast. In the morning or *lve evening, at cer­ tain known hours one finger or the other will point directly to the sun, A comparison o f the two shadows will determine the hours between, Another system followed in Turkey and some other countries of the Orient is to ob­ serve the eyes of a cat. Early in the morning and evening the pupils are round. At 9 and 3 o’ clock they ore oval, and at noon they consist of a nar­ row slit. i Co-operation In Whale Fishing. The Twofold bay whale hunters tell that when the antarctic whales, ou their way to northern waters for calving, appear off Twofold bay, with them come the “killers’’-—a fierce spe- eies .of grampus whale, ■which Is the great enemy o f the true whale; and that these killers have leriraed to herd the whales Into the bay for the hu­ man hunters to deal with. Man wants from the whale only the blubber, the whalebone (from the roof of the mouth), and, when It is- present, the nmbergrls. The rest of- the carcass Is left to be devoured. It is said that the killers—the same killers come year after year to the bay—have learned Hint to co-operate with man Is the easiest way to a feast o f whale flesh, and so concentrate their ener­ gies on driving a victim toward the whaling boats as dogs drive sheep.— London Morning Post. Cleverness. - There are two kinds of cleverness —the. studied and the unstudied. The unstudied is, of course, the better. The studied, as a substitute,- is prefer­ able to no cleverness at all. Let those who aspire to cleverness examine the arts and graces, look for the unusual element In every situation, learn new Phrases, commit to memory vivid, whplesome stories, such as the one about the bucolic officer who received from the chief of polite in a distant city six photographs o f a much sought crook* taken at different angles, and who, inside of 24 hours, telegraphed that he had arrested five of the men and expected to have the sixth in cus­ tody before nightfall.

Ned Thurston, boy of all work about the Mills home and a half nephew of Mrs. Nancy Mills, looked excited and eager, fils eyes were snapping, bis Ups mov­ ing in an erratic way. It was quite dusk and Ned was breathless, for he bad. come on a dead run to the shop from half a mile dis­ tance. Harvey Mills had been sleep­ ing there for two nights. Practically he had been driven away from home when hlB irrationally whimsical, dom­ ineering, jealous Nancy Mills had de­ veloped one of her regular “spells" and Harvey had sought refuge and peace. ■ “That Isn’t all," proclaimed Ned.

She’S awful good to me. and, I know, thinks there’s nobody In the world like you, when she Isn’t stirred up with that stubborn temper of hers. You’re a peaceful, quiet man, Mr. Mills, and she Imposes on you, and yon. let her. Now then, you follow the advice of a young fellow who likes you and you’ll be glad. See If you' aren't.” . "What you driving at, Ned?” project­ ed his puzzled employer. “Well, Aunt Nancy Is In the trouble of her life." - “Why—" “ Yes, sir, I’m speaking the truth. She’s rampaged to tbelimlf. and you’ve got her where you can let her stay and cool off that hot temper, that’s sure.

I've thought ' It all out “ See ttfat," and Ned drew an old-fasldoned pistol from his pocket ‘ “Why, whftt ato you doing with that?" challenged the startled Harvey, “ I brought It from the house.

Now, one uncle o f the children was -generous nnd the other wits close, Indeed. Uncle Number One,’ however, was not satisfied with his own gener­ osity. He wished Number Two to know and feel the joy of giving, par­ ticularly to his own nephews and nieces. He wondered nnd wondered as to the best way to show him that he should he more generous. Then one day came his opportunity. He was driving by Uncle Number Two’s farm and noticed all his fine chickens. Now, the mother of the wee children did not have chickens. So Uncle Number One, of generous hab­ its, stopped Ids machine, walked up to the house and accosted Uncle Num­ ber Two, of parsimonious fame. “I just saw your chickens,” he remarked pleasantly, “and I wondered if yon wouldn’ t sell me some eggs for our little nephews and nieces to eat."
