Tho Finny Tribe.

1t is almost an every da7 sight to see boys
catching fish, providing they have not neglected
10 spi: on ths 5si-, but yet not one lad in Z
thousand has ever girca thought to the oon-
struction Of the fnny tribe. At the outset Of
this subject i! might be remarked that no fab
has single toae toe mapy. You may thiok
be has, especially whoa ycu have perch for
dinner, but every Iinle tore was put there BY
Nature for some spcti purpose. Take away
baudful Of bores from the average fish and
he would die in iess than week.
Bones, however, have very liul, to do With
hsh, end great deal less 10 do with oatcbiag
hin. Let ua draw your attention 10 the eyes
10 tho first place. They pre 80 placed that
fish CSC SEQ bobtslled steam,r com n no tho
liver AID boy on the bridge behind him ct
the same timo. But 10: this f.cs the boy
would i:her catch hirl with dip net N sds of
an old toCpskift or tho steamer would run
over him. BY a simoe roll ct the ego fish
can take ia view t:om all sides at once. aud
you oar pass osuos eff on hin for saw log
If the fish could see only ahead his tsil would
be grabbed at every hour 10 the day. If be
could see only bcbiad he'd have to Wear sheet
l,on protector on his nose. As it is, hell
dodge 8 ole from one side aod smell of root
on the other az the ssmo motion.
The mouth Of = Hsh is provided with strsinsrs
called sils. But for these he would have
stomach tClt of sswdus. tho year round. With.
GU. the gil!s his mouth woul1 ba open great
share Of the time, bat with them he keeps hi,
jsws together and has TO opinions t. f,rce upon
bis felIo y tnnios. Ihs glIls Of u fish may bs
compared To toe nose Of maa, evan in color,
but most Of h 5m ars Great sal batter sst on.
1t WAS evidently denguei 5y Nature tha! fish
should i've under Tata;. This is why lhsy take

and are no! generally known. He is y very
curly riaer. You may think you eau get up
before hs does, bu. he will be wide wake WHOM
you arrive on the spot.
The tail Of t.h is not of much account In
the rying pan. bat 1t is \ handy thing for the
fish when slCshing around in mill pond full OF
old stu ups, drowned b)ys and wrecked ski6s
HIS tail guides his head, and it seldom goes back
on HIM. Nature calculated that he would DO
