The Fish of Paradise is one Of the
most peculiar of Chinese fresh water
fish. 1t is small in size, pale grey IN
color, and at first sight having little
about it to attract attention. As soon as
the animal becomes excited, however, the
long fins on the back and belly straight
en- out and assume a rich purple hue
tinted with green; the long and fork
and the stripes upon the sides Of the
fish become yellow, red and blue, con-
stantly changing in color. The scales
seem 10 become opalescent, and reflect
the light with the greatest brilliancy,
while the eyes appear illuminated with
a blush-green fire. The habits of the
animal as odd as its appearance. The
males take charge Of the young ard
build the nest. The latter is simply
clot of foam floating upon the water,
and is made by the fish rising to the sur
face and alternately absorbing and ex-
pelling air, until a little cluster OF fine
bubbles, hardly three-tenths of an inch
square, if formed. The female then de-
posts her eggs, which are at once seized
upon by the male, who carries them in
mouth to the nest. Then he watches
their incubation, carefully guarding and
distributing them with wonderful sagac-
ity throughout the mass of foam. When
they clot together, he pushes them apart
with his nose, and, besides, keeps up a
confined manufacture of bubbles until
the eggs are lifted up above the water
and rest only upon their soft couch. AS
soon as the embryoes appear, his care is
doubled. He watches that none escape,
and in case some become. separated, he
chases them, catches them in his mouth,
and replaces them carefully in the nest.
If one becomes injured, he removes it
from the others, and gives it separate
bubble by itself, and apparently nurses
until it regains strength.

How Humming-Birds Fight.

If two brids foraging come together,
they usually fight; one drives the other
away, and then goes on feeding as if
nothing had happened, Mr.. Goose says.
"If two vervain humming-birds are
about the moringa-tree, one will fly off
and suspend himself in the air a few
yards distant; the other presently shoots
off to him; and then, without touching
each other, they mount upward with
strong, rushing wings, perhaps for 500
feet. They then separate, and each shoots
diagonally toward the ground, like a
ball from a rife, and, wheeling around,
comes up to the blossoms again, and
sucks as if it had not moved away at all
The figure Of the smaller humning- birds
on the wing, their rapidity, their arrowy
course, and their whole manner of fight
are entirely those of an insect; and one
who has watched the fight of a large bee
tie, Or bee, Will have a very good idea of
one Of these tropic gems, painted against
the sky" Again he says. "I once wit
messed a combat between two mango
humming- birds, which was prosecuted
with much pertinacity, and protractsd to
an unusual length. They chased each
other through the labyrinth of twigs and
flowers till, an opportunity occurring,
the one would dart with fury upon the
other, and then with loud rustling Of
their wings they would twirl together
round and round, until they nearly
came to earth. At length an encounter
took place pretty close to me, and ] per-
ceiyed that the beak of the one grasped
the beak of the other, and, thus fastened
both whirled round and round in their
perpendicular descent till when very
near the ground they separated; and the
one chased the other for about hmm
dred yards; and then returned in triumph
to the tree. Sometimes they would Sis
pend hostilities to suck few blossoms,
but mutual proximity was sure to bring
them on again, with the same result In
their tortuous and rapid evolutions the
light from their ruby necks would now
and flash in the sun with gemlike radi-
ance The war lasted fully an hour and
then was called away from the post OF
observation."- Popular Science Monthly

Live Like Lovers.

Married people should treat each other
like lovers all their Hves-then they
would be happy. Bickering and quar-
reiing would soon break off love affairs
consequently lovers indulge in such only
to very limited extent. But some peo-
ple--men and women both-when they
have once got married think they may
do just as they please, and it will make
no difference. They make great mis-
take. 1t causes all the difference in the
world. Women should grow more de-
voted and men more fond after marri-
age, if they have the slightest idea Of be-
ing happy as wives and husbands. 1t is
losing sight Of this fundamental truth
which leads to hundreds of divorces
Yet, many a man will scold his wife
who would never think of breathing a
harsh word to his sweetheart; and many
a wife will be glum and morose on her
husbands return who had only smiles
and words of cheer for him when he was
her suitor. How can such people expect
to be happy2

John Johnston says that he has no
ticed that those farmers who have most
difficulty to make both ends meet always
plow most and keep most stock. Now,
these men take the true plan to keep
themselves always poor, because their
stock and crops are always poor and
bring little. 1t is a good profit to raise
three hundred bushels of wheat from
ten acres; but when it takes thirty acres
to raise that amount it is raised at loss
So it is with cattle and sheep. You will
see the thinking farmer making four
year old steers worth from sixty to eighty
dollars each, and his neighbor's, at the
same age, not worth over twenty-five to
forty dollars. II his land is exhausted
and great many farms are-then he
should plow no more than he can
thoroughly manure. Seed with clover
and grass, and let it rest for even two
years, and that field will not only ray
we'll for tillage, but it will furnish ma
nure (if rightly managed) to make an
other field of the same size rich also. 1t
is bad policy, when a field is once high
ly manured, to continue cropping it
with grain until the manure is used up.
The latter end of that land will be
worse than the first. But let that land
lay in clover, even one year-but two is
better-afer it is manured, and then it
viii stand perhaps six good crops before
it requires manuring; if clay subsoil, it

RURAL LIFE.-Men follow what they
love, and the love of rural employ
ments is almost universal. Every one
likes the country, whose tastes are culti-
waited in the least, and enjoys what is
primitive and pure. The man tires of
city pleasures. He soon finds there is
no freedom comparable with that which
the country affords; for though he dwell
in the city for the advantages of libra
ries and social entertainment, he seeks
the country for inspiration when these
lose their attractions, and his spirits as
his friendships crave refreshment and
renewal. We see how this appetite
gratifes itself in the general swarming
cities to the suburban towns, if not to
the hill countries, for the freedom and
health found there; and how to crafty
and meet the demand for pure natural
satisfaction. Our Guide Books have
become not only the most attractive
Biographies of the territories therein
described, but works of taste, combin-
ing some of the best and choices illus
trations of poetry and prose in our lit
erature; and sketches, too, of such scenes
and parties are sure to attract an eager
reading.

Horrible Accident.

near this city, named Elijah Croson and
Frank Veitmier, were crossing the track
of the Lake Erie Division of the b. & o.
r. r., about one mile north Of town,
seated in u one horse wagon, the down
train, due here at 1890, ran into the
wagon killing both of them instantly.
Elijah Croson was about 63, and Veit-
mier about 76 years old. Their dead
and mutilated bodies were brought to
town at once and an inquest held. We
understand that the accident was who'll
ly unavoidable on the part of the engin-
eer of the train. We have seldom been
called upon to record a more sad and
lamentable accident.-Nelrark 1meriedn.

Gated by the name. II is merely

ing the very best opportunity for con-
versation, and is al once graceful and

dances.
GREAT BRITAIN, FRANCE AND GERMANY
have each been the birthplace of quite
a number of special or fancy dances,
but at the present day there is really no
national dancing, and the same style
prevails in all countries, at least in good
society. The jig and country dance are
purely English, while the reel is unmis-
takably of Scotch origin. The minuet
so called because of the short step
(menus Pas) taken in the different fig.
ures--originated in the old French
province of Potion, and was afterwards
introduced by the Marquis de Flanma-
rens into England, where it long remain
ed in great favor, and deservedly, for it
was a dignifed and graceful dance. The
gavotte, which has recently come into
fashion here as fancy, was tripped cen
turies ago by the peasant girls in the
gavot's country, small, mountainous
country in the neighborhood of Gap in
the south of France.
THE EVER DELIGHTFUL WALTZ,
contrary to general belief, is not of
German origin. 1t was extremely pop.
ular in France toward the thirteenth
and fourteenth centuries, and became
known in Germany only after that per-
iod. Its popularity was soon establish
ed IN all countries, despite the prejudices
and objection raised against it. The
polka was brought from forest of Hun
gary in 1910, and created quite sensa-
ton. Everything was done in polka
fashion. There were polka hats and
dress goods, polka jeweIry and polka
trimming. Shortly after the polks be-
came popular here, or about the same
time, Mr.. Polk was elected to the presi-
dency of the United States, and, owing
to this somewhat singular coincidence,
many persons supposed that the new
dance had been named after him or in
his honor. The schottische and mazur-
ka next came in vogue, and from that
time fancy dances multiplied rapidly,
many of them going out Of fashion be-
fore the end Of a month. Not few of
the modern dances were first brought
out on the stage.

Origin OF CERTAIN HABITs.-Many
of the most pernicious habits were con-
tracted originally for the sake of health.
Wine and distilled liquors are taken to

sons who innocently acquire such habits,
know not how limit the extent of the

TIE COTILLION,

introduced here under the name ofGer-
man, is very old dance, which has been
but slightly modified, for most Of ats
figures were well known more than one
hundred years ago in several of the anc-
lent PROVENCE of France. The bouquet,
mirror and butterfly figures, for instance,
we're quite popular, and it mainly con-
sisted, and does now, of round dances.
Then, as now, it required some talent to
lie good leader of the cotillion. The
Orientals are very fond of Witnessing
ballets and intricate pas seul, but they
never dance themselves. The dances Of
the bayaderes and almees are true pam
tomimes, though not always very deli
cate or gracious ones.
THE MOORISH LADIES OF RANK,
who spend their days in trimming gar
lands of .jessamine and smoking long
chibouks, sometimes vary the monotony
of their existance by a little dance in
their secluded apartments. One of their
NUMBER performs Il TdLneT uOurhlu1
tune on a guitar or tamborine, while an
other woman, clad in loose and trans
parent gown, with long, flowing sleeves,
rises and begins a series of contortions
and swaying motions, until utterly ex-
haused, she gives up the place to third
one, who goes through the same per-
formance with evident pleasure, and
not unfrequentTy with a sort of frenzy,
as if overpowdered by her emotions.
But all public dancing is done by baya-
deres, who, though well treated, much
admired, and highly praised, are regard
ed as outcasts from society, and un-
worthy of respect. Their fantastic
dances are, however, a prominent fea-
ture at every festival or gathering,
whether public or private, and excite
the greatest entnusiams, which finds
vent in loud applause and shouts OF
delight, in profusion of gifts shower
ed upon the bewitching dancers, and in
the burning of perfumes and aromatic
gums. In short, the practice or custom
of dancing seems to be inherent to man.

At Elcho, Nevada, there are hot
spri &, in which numbers of fish can be
seen swimming about, though the water
is so hot that eggs are cooked "in less
than three seconds" The explanation
Of tins phenomenon lies in the fact that
these hot springs rise in the banks Of the
streams, the water of which is intensely
cold. The cold water, ON account OF its
greater specific gravity, runs upon the
bottom, without mixing much with the
water above, and 20 the fish keep in a
cool stream.
