The ssShooting.Fish.''

Those who study the Derfectibility of
aquariums, says the Pail Natl Gazette,
should send to Java for specimens of the
'shooting.fsh' (Cheln,am rostratus,)
which a correspondent Of the Madras
Standard describes as now frequently
made a sort Of pet Of and found in proper
receptacles in respectable native houses.
A small stick is fastened in the reservoir,
projecting some two feet above the level
of the water, and when the fish is to
exhibit, a large fly or other insect is
lightly fastened on this. The fish
swims round the stick once or twice to
examine the object; then, rising to the
surface, remains for few seconds motion
less, and suddenly elects few drops of
water at its intended prey with a noise
not unlike that Of a squirt, generally
bringing the mark down with the first
shot. If this fails, however, he repeats
his circuit Of observation, pauses again,
apparently to measure his distance, and
then discharges at the fly once more.
This curious pet is described as seldom
reaching ten inches in length, and being
of plain yellowish color, marked with
dark stripes.

THE BOYS ROOM.

In the "Home and Society" depart

thing for the boys, tut the first thing is
to get your room:
We wish especially to. urge upon mothers
the propriety of giving up to the boys, as
soon as they reach the age Of twelve or
fourteen, one room, mot bedchamber),
for whose reasonably good order they
shall be responsible, and which they shall
consider wholly their own. The floor
should be uncarpetcd, of oiled wood; the
furniture of the same material. Let it be
papered, curtained, decorated according
to the boys own fancy. if the taste :;
is bad, they will be interested after a
while in correcting it. They should be

center, by all means an open fire, and
room after that for Joe's printing. press,

Gen. Dodge Of Council Bluffs. Iowa,
acting under the advice Of his physician,
DR.. Hammond, of New York city, has

Newfoundland. He bore his part in

amounting to 81, 600. The amount, how
ever, he donated to the crew, feeling anu

These letters cover nearly page of the Phil

crime. In every one of these letters the
writer endeavors to Impress the distracted

kidnapping villains, and in rea1ing these
atrocious words addressed to the almost
crazed father Of the lost child, one cannot
but deplOre the fact that If found guilty of
aiding in the abduction the punishment of
Nesteryelt, now on trial, cannot, under the
law, be commensurate with the atrocity of
his crime.

v,nsIace,uusa Conference.

The eighty-eighth annual session OF Inc
Philadelphia Conference of the Methodist h
piscopal Church was held at Norristown, Pa.
The conference began March 18th and closed
It's labors on the 9th. This body consists OF
239 ministers, with numerous laymen, ana
there were present large number OF persons
representing the various societies connected
with the church. Rev. f. Andrews, the Pre-
siding Bishop, occupied The chair, and W. j.
Paxson, was Secretary, aided by several assist
ants.
The presiding elders of the different districts
made their reports and the names of ministers
were called. Resolutions were adopted re-
cognizing a tendency to subvcrt the Sabbath
and discountcnancing all forms of Sunday
toll and dissipation, Sunday excursions to the
sea side and to camp meetings, and all unne
cessary travel.
A resolution was offered to the effect that al
unmarried men who shall be admitted to the
Conference shall be understood to pledge them
selves to remain single for four years. a de-
bate ensued which was not concluded before
the adjournment of the session.
The mission report showed the total amount
collected to be four thousand dollars.
Rev. w. B. Wood, p. L. of this district, re-
ports that in the department of church and
parsonage building the year opened with great
activity. Ten new churches have been built
and valuable improvements have been made
to other churches. There were about 500
conversions, and the number of new members
is materially increased. The Presiding Elder
has delivered 215 sermons and public address
es, held l5G quarterly conferences, and travel
led $500 miles.
The next annual session will be held ii
