Tim American ponies are all thoroughbreds, bred In this country from the pure Shetland stock. The ponies are not found In all the Shetland Islands. Tbe largest. Maln-

of these sturdy, diminutive horses. The origin of the ponies is not known, but there is a tradition that some of their finer points have been Inherited from the Spanish horses which were in the admiral’s stud when the Spanish Armada sailed around in those watere. Tbe size of these little animals Is undoubtedly to be attributed in somemeasure to the hardness of their lives on the islands, as their good temper is to the fact that they are brought up with the children and dogs of the poor Shetland Islanders. The islands have a barren soil, and a high, rocky coast, and the strong winds are chilly and penetrating. The ponies are turned out tr- shift for themselves in winter. They live on the heather, but are sometimes reduced to seaweed, and It Is said have been known to eat dead fish. Only the best of the ponies survive, and they hare become the hardy race we so much admire. They are put to work as soon aa they are Urge enough, and carry a load of peat equal to half their own weight The load Is In big cassles, or baskets, strapped on cither side of strong packsaddles. There are not many of the ponies; it Is said not more than II or 1500 on all the islafids. Within the last few years the small stallions have been used to some extent in the low coal veins in the mines of EngUnd and Scotland, where no ojher animal can do the work. With a Frrlns-Pan. Mrs. Seton-Thompson. In her camping experience, entitled “A Woman Tenderfoot." confesses that iii the beginning of her Rocky mountain life she regarded rattlesnakes as-only one kind of disagreeable reptile. One day she was riding in advance of her husband. She says: "Suddenly there came s noise like dried peas in a pod. and gliding across the road was a huge rattlesnake. Whiskers, my pony, performed a flank movement, so nearly unseating me that I deemed it expedient to drop to the ground; and Whiskers, without leaning for orders, galloped down the road. ‘The ratUer stopped his pretty gliding motion away from me ani seemed In doubt. " 'He is going to coil and then to. ■trike,' said I. recalling a paragraph from my school reader. “I cast a despairing glance around, and saw, almost at my feet, half hidden by aage brush, several Inches of rusty Iron. Blest be the passing teamster who threw It there. I darted toward it and turned on the rattlei. armed with the goodly remains of a frying pan. "The creature was ready for «t. with darting tongue and flattened head. Another Instant and It would have sprung Smash on its head went my valiant frying pan hnd struck n deadly blow.. i recaptured my weapon and again It descended. The rattler was settled.

That Is to say. hU rattles. “Then the uncanny thing began to wriggle and rattle with old-time vigor Horrid thrills coursed through me; but fortified by the assurance that the existing rattle waa a 'purely reflex neurogangllonlc movement,' I hardened my' heart and captured the 'pod of

the ligature along the back and the muscle that holds the shell tightly together when the clam shuts Itself up. Every such boy has seen, too. a long line, or little furrow In the sand, under water, sometimes nearly straight sometimes In graceful curves, and has often found, at one end, the clam thsf made It upright on edge, half bnried In the sand, but perfectly atlll and tightly closed. It was walking to the sand until the boy came splashing along: then It shut up. and craftily looked like a clam. If It Is left alone and evcrytnlng is quiet for a long time It will begin to move again—very slowly, of course, but It can move, and the way It moves is one way of walk-

ing.

The two shells of a mussel, or fresh water clam, are alike—that la. the creature Ik "symmetrical.” at least externally. A narrow line of tough, fleshy subsume, called the ligature, colds tnc shells together along the bark, much as the leather binding of a book holds together the two covers. The clam can open and cloze his sheila as be pleases, and when all Is quiet around him he changes from bis unsocial. clamlike attitude toward the world, and begins to relax and expand a little, h irst, after opening his shell he puts out two rringcllke pieces behind. anti begins to take good, long, full breaths again. For each fringe has a tube, or •■orifice.” In It, and through the lower tube the clam draws In a current of water which he drives out through the upper tube. So theee tubes have been named the In currant orifice and the excurrent orifice. They are not very hard vords to remember when we understand the direction of the movements of water that they stand for. Water coaUins air, and tbe clam breathes this air, as fishes do. and some snallo and other creatures that live In the water. The water flowing in also brings with it many tiny objects soluble tor food which arc carried along to the clam'* stomach, and thus the clam Is tibU both to breathe and to feed by means of a current of water. One might suppose that a creature whoso food come to It already prepared would hare no need to roam about It Is a fact that the oyster settles down while rtlll young and never stirs from home again; but the clam finds it worth his while to move about, even though his steps are slow and his Journeys short The clam's natural position Is on edge, about half buried In the sand with the hinge of 1U shell uppermost, with IU fringes protruding slightly behind, and with tbe two shells parted a little beneath. Between these the clam pats out 1U foot and works it \nto the sand below. This foot is soft and seemingly shapeless. bat capable of expansion and contraction to a remarkable degree, and very wrong. It is stronger, relatively, than the propeller of a steamship, for while the propeller drives the vessel through water, this soft shapeless mass, called a foot is able to push the clam's body through the compact sand at the bottom of the

stream or pond.

If some of these fresh water clams, or mussels, are taken homo and placed In a pan filled with sand and water, they will, after a while, work themselves upright, put out their fringes behind and their foot below, and begin to move very slowly along. But with the slightest Jar. as from a touch of the Uble or of the pan. or perhaps from stepping on the floor, they will shut np again. Clams cannot nee. or taste, or smell, and they cannot hear as we hear, for they have no ears, but they can feel, and their sense of touch is so good that they can detect very slight vibrations In the water. This way of getting Ideas from the world around them takes the place of the sense of hearing, and serves'a clam's purpose very well. It has some advantages. He never has earache, and when he Is bored he has only to shut his sheik—New York Tribune.

About three months age George Beermann, aged 13, of Swiss origin, whose parents live at Laon. disappeared from the parental root, and, In spite of the most active searching, was not to be found. The day before yesterday a horticulturist was passing near an abandoned quarry at Eragny-Kcuvllle^ when his attention was drawn to s column of thick smoke which res* above a sink in the rocks. Penetrating Into a sort of grotto he came upod a young boy whose clothes were literally hanging on him in rags, but whose appearance gave every Indication of flourishing health.
