Chinese Telescope Fish.

IF Mr.. Darwin wished for a further
instance in support of his theory of the
origin of species, he might possibly
find one in some curious fish which
have just been brought to this country
and added to the collection in the
Brighton Aquarium. These fish are
called telescope fish," from the re-
markable length Of their organs of
vision, which project a considerable
distance from the side of the head
They are natives of China, and the
stories which have been circulated
concerning this peculiar feature of
their formation, have generally been
received with great incredulity.
In large specimens the eyes are
placed on the extremity Of cylindrical
projection as much as an inch in
length, and when, at last, Individual
fish found their way to Europe they
were considered to be distinct species.
A further popularity is in the forma-
ton of the caudal fins, which are pro-
longed in such way as to give the fish
the appearance of having two or more
tails. These telescope fish, are,
however, nothing more than mon
strosity of the common gold and silver
carp, which the Chinese love to exer-
else their cunning in cultivating; and
they originally sprang, no doubt, from
some specimens which produced the
abnormal growth as a protection from
some injury either accidentally or pur-
posely inficted.-LondoR Daily Ne1os.

A PARTISAN character whose slang
name is of the easily-recognizable sort
IS the . abOYeuse"-that is, to saw. the
barker. If you have ever visited the
old clothes market of the Temple. i'm
Paris-and it is a place which good
many Americans visit, either from Gu
riosity or in search of bargains-xou
are aware that the most conspicuous
feature of the huge mart is, thewonaan
who accoSts you. Turn. which way
you will, you are accosted by a, WOMAN
generally a young, woman, some
times a pretty woman, but always a
woman who is determined to entiCe
you into some particular stall that you
may purchase there the bonnet or the
dress or the other article YOU are in
search OF. She IS very much in ear
nest, is this woman, and. she. talks
with a voluble self-assertiOn that is
to the last degree, trying; sometimes
she goes so far Us, to seize hold of yo1rr
garments IN her efforts to detain YOU:
but heE tongue never ceases its cIatter.
This IS the barker. Sheis in force at
the Temple Market As you prone
made through the curious, place. she
assails you st every step: your ears are
stunned with her noise: your dignity
is zuffied by her familiarity of APP
preach; your nerves age vexed with
tie perpstuity CT her-fof the instant
you pass the territory of one you are
pomced upon by another, and it win
be a strong test Of the amiability of
your disposition if you can pass through
the place without once throwing off
the obtrusive touch Of the barker with
angry protest. trt S5kes, IN A12ple-

A Summer Piece,


MS CLUNPoLE, who resides on
West Adams street, nor far from Ash
land avenue, is man who loves Ma
ture and is little short-sighted The
other day he noticed that his dooryard-
plot looked little dry and needed wa
terlng; se. when he went home at night
he took nice new garden-hose with
him, furnished duly with small
nozzle and a. coupler. He attached if
about dusk, having taken the precau-
ton to leave his glasses in the house.
| and, sallying out, laid a stream on the
corner Of the grass-plot., Having re-
auced 1t to the consistency of mud. or
shln porridge, he resolved to turn his
attention to another corner, and so at
tempted to execute the maneuyer of
bringing the hose round in a circle.
nozzle doWnwards. He did so very
neatly considering his limited expert
ence, and alter filling his slippers full
of water directed the stream vehement
ly upon the tagged pathway, causing
a misty drizzle that took all the curl
out OF his family who had assembled
on the d0orsteps. AT this moment he
beheld a pedestrian looming I'D
through the dusk. and giving the
nozzle an upward jerk, SO as TO avoid
Wettlng him, was rewarded by screams
OF agony from the second-story Win
dow of the house across the way. He
had delivered the stream with singular
accuracy upon the bed of an historical
old maid who was laid up with rheu-
matlsm. In the surprise and nervous
ness he brought the stream down and
directed it towards his boundary
fence, but the elevation was too great
and 1t went over, administering rak-
ing fire-Or water, to speak more cor
rectly upon his neighbours daughter
and his neighbours daughters Young
man, who were swinging upon the
gate. In three seconds he had reduced
that young, mans straw hat to some
thing very much like birds nest soup,
and his alpaca coat and duck panta-
looms were olinging to his chilled frame
like a wet sail to mast. AS for the
neighbor's daughter, her hair was
washed out of curl, and her cheeks
rubbed off and smeared her nice white
muslin DRESS. but fortunately she
didn't feel it, because she had gone off
into Mysteries when the first few lsstils
of aqueous fluid went down her back.
Mr.. Clumpole was now helpleSsly I'M
comfortable, and when Officer Mahonv
| came up to arrest him directed q
stream on the patrolman that soaked
him through and through. The officer
rushed in to club the mailman. but
Mr.. Clumpole had got entangled in the
hose and tripped and fell, and the
officer tumbled over him, so that they
rolledin helpless heap on the muddy
grass, while the hose kept on saturat-
ing them. Mr.. Clumpole was, finally
able to explain and settle matters. He
bought new uniform for the patrol
man, and a new hat for the neighbor's
daughters young man., and new
dress for her, and paid the old maids
doctors bill, and if the attack. of in
tiamatory rheumatism he got doesn't
prove fatal, and the old maid doesn't
die, and the neighbours, daughter
doesn't get damages for the loss of a
lover who saw her beauty when I'M
adorned adorned the least, all will be
wel.-Chicogo Tribune.

IT you LOVE ME-.

Ii you love me. tell me not;
Let me read it in your thought;
Let me feel it in the way
That you say me yea and nay;
Let me see it in yotr eye
When you greet or pass me by;
Let me hear it in the tone
Meant for me and me alone.
If you love me, there will be
Something only shall see;
Meet or miss me, stay or go,
If YOU love me, shall know.
Something in your tone will tell,
= Dear, love you, love you WE'LL
Something in your eyes will shine
Fairer that they look in mine.
In your mlen some touch of grace,
Some swift smile upon your face
While you speak not, will betray
What your lips could scarcely say.
In your speech some silver word,
Tuning into sweet accord
All your bluntness, will reveal,
Unaware, the love you feel.
If you love me, then, pray,
Tell me not, but, day by day,
Let love silent on me rise,
Like the sun in summer skies.

If you read a eulogistic biography of
person, read also, if possible, one
written from an opposite standpoint.
You will find that no one is wholly
bad, nor wholly good, and you will
grow broad in your views.-OliUe

TWO Of THEN.

A BROOK and wee Elsie
Were playing together.
One frolicsome day
OF the sunshiny weather,
AT tag and "bo-peep;"
Naughty creatures were they,
For the brook and wee Elsie
Fad both run away
One time, when they paused
In lovely cool place,
Elsie saw in the water
Her round dimpled face:
And : How funny!'' she said.
With wondering look
Now, how could my face
Get into the brooke"
half-minute later,
gypsying bee
Left Elsie in tears,
Sorry object to see.
Here's another queer problem"
The little brook cries;
Now, how did | ever
Get into her eyes?"
