(‘A captive blenny...soon learned to come to the feeding place at a given signal,” says a report in the Journal of the Marine Biological Association.) Futt oft beside the singing river I've sat from morn to dewy night, Catching a chill upon my liver, And waiting for the fish to bite. In vain I'd summon ‘em to dinner With squirmy worm or flickering Ay: Deaf to the call of cravings inner, They passed the morsel by. I've angled for the artless roach men Of low ambition love to snare; I've dropped the niftiest gnats and coachmen Where trouts were lurking unaware, The bream, the tench, the dace, the grayling, The perch, the barbel, and the chub— Not one—it was their common failing— Obeyed the call to grub. Environment, I've heard, will vary a Habit, alike in man or beast, And fish confined in small aquaria May learn to hurry to the feast; But signals, from the hungry belly mean To wring a swift response and sure, To fishes in their native clement Have not the same allure, The City man that mounts his daily bus Has habits that the Hottentot, Living in puris naturalibus, If one may put it so, has not. And fish in tanks may well be gleaning New wisdom, and in time respond To summonses that had no meaning When they were in a pond, I well believe the captive blenny, Of whom these patient savants tell, Takes a delight—he has not many— In answering the dinner bell. But left at large in lake or lonely Burn, with what zeal a fish ignores The call to food, when it’s not only His chance to eat, but yours! —‘Algol,"” in London Evening News HERE ENDETH THE LESSON Grattas’ Morrart, in his book, ‘The Pawky Scot,"’ relates an anecdote that indicates re- ligion and thrift can be uneasy partners: “A Canadian farmer of Scottish extraction kept up the religious traditions of his race by reading each morning to his family and his field workers a consecutive chapter of the Bible. One fine day in the harvesting season, when time was precious, he struck the sixth chapter of 1st Chronicles, which consists of cighty-one verses of genealogical names. He droned on ll he came to: “And Shallum begat Hilkiah and Hilkiah begat Azariah, and Azariah begat Seraiah, and Seraiah begat Johozadak." here he paused and looked over the leaf. ‘Weel, my friends,’ he said, ‘they begat ane anither richt doon to the end 0” the page, and a lang way ower on the ither side, so we'll jist leave them to it.
