About Fish,

Humanity demands that Ssh should always be taken with hook and line, otherH ;sc tho poor things are liks to be driven insdae.
 ksusale fsa are fond of aowers, and plant grca, quantities of roes in beds.
 Fish are remarkable for their fonjness of learn ingvery aged individuals of the species being often found In scis0ols.
 A eockney rcrnarks that 6sh are entirely unlike Achilcs, their cells being slmost invulncrable They possess no properly. and. therefore. haYo hG'ri. Fish arc distinguished for justice, possessing this attribute in remarkable degree-many of them carrying sword and all the scales. The larger spe- eies are religious and Prey continually. The ie- nlalsa arc dsnlcsfics, and make their own beds.
 When Gsh approach 10 the top of the water. N is supposed that they take cold in their heads al ,hongh they do not take enough they arc liable to hawk.
 Fish should avoid small, heavy substances whlch descand into tho water attached 10 linea frequently they lead 10 their destruction.
 Noue but honest persons should bc allowed 10 20 s-tsalng. there suca opportunities to 'hook.'
 Altltugh fish have no paper money-ia fact nothing but sinners they oltsn mako run upon the banks. They have no fondness for any kind of fruit, except currents.
