AN ESSAY ON FISH.
From the Detroit Free Press

cIou tne Detroit Free Press.
Fish may be divided into classes
goldfish aud fresh fish. The proprie,y
of dividing them into classes will be
at once apparent, when we reflect
that they are usually found in schools.
The msckerel is not exactly a cod
fish but he comes SO much nearer be.
ing Goldfish than u fresh fish that he.
is for the present classed with the
former.
Fish exist in size to suit the pur-
chaser, from minnows to whales
which are not fish, strictly speaking
Neither is the alligator fish: but il
we attempt to tell what are not fish.

The herring is not absolutely a
hSh; he is suggestion of departed
nsh. But the strongest suggestions
OF departed fish are smelt. The her
ring sustains the same relation to the
hnny tribe as the Egyptian mummy
to the human race.
Fish are caught by measure and sold
by weight-that Is, they are caught by
the gill and sold by the pound. But
they are sometimes cauyh. by weight
till you get bite.
Contentment is the chief respi,e tn
the successful fisherman.
surveyors are apt to be good fish
ermen, because their lines aud angles
are apt to be all right.
The mermaid and tishw oman NAV
also be mentioned i'll this connection.
,Ihe former is good illustration OF
what is meant by the ideal, and The
latter as htly represents the real.
Many land animals are reproduced
IN the sea. Thus we have the dog
fish, the catfish, sea-lions and sea.
horses, but no sea-mules. None of
The above have hind legs, and any
manner Of mule without hind legs
would be conspicuous failure.
