A Cnrions let.

In respectable native houses in Java,
pet is made of curious little crea-
ture called the shooting fish. A small
stick is fastened in the reservoir con-
tanning the fish, projecting some two
feet above the level of the water, and
when it 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
motionless, and suddenly elects a few
drops of water at its intended prey,
with a noise not unlike that of 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 dis
tance, and then discharges at the fly
once more. This curious pet is described
as seldom reaching ten inches in length,
and beingo a yellowish color, marked
with dark stripes.

The Utility of Drunkenness. !.

Darwin shows that the onward prog
ress, the development, or what may be
described as the collective prosperity Of
the species, is brought about by over
multiplication, followed by necessary
struggle for existence, in the course of
which the inferior or unsuitable individ-
uals are weeded out and s'the survival
of the fttest' necessarily follows; these
superior or more suitable specimens
transmit more or less of their advant-
ages to their offspring, which, still null
ttiplying excessively, are again and again
similarly sifted and improved or devel-
oped in q boundless course of forward
evolution. /" .
In the earlier stages of human exist
ence, the fttest for survival were those
whose brutal or physical energies best
enabled them to struggle with the phys
ical difficulties of their surroundings, to
subjugate the crudities of the primeval
plains and forests to human require
ments. The perpetual struggles of the
different tribes gave the dominion of the
earth to those best able to rule It.; the
strongest and most violent human ami
NAL was then iittest, and he survived ac-
cordingly. .e0 y,
Then came another era of human eff
fort gradually eliminating in the pres
ent period. In this mere muscular
strength, brute physical power, and
mere animal energy have become less
and less demanded as we have, by the
aid of physical science, imprisoned the
physical forces of nature in our steam
boilers, batteries, etc., and have made
them our slaves in lieu of human pris-
oners of war; The coarse, muscular,
raving, yelling, fighting human animal
that formerly led the war-dance, the
hunt, and the battle, is no longer the fit
test for survival, but is, on the contrary,
daily becoming more and more out of
place. His prize-fghts, his dog-fights,
his cockpits, and bull-baiting are practi-
cally abolished
Such being the case, we now require
some means of eliminating these coarser.
more brutal, or purely animal specimens
of humanity, in order that there may be
more room for the survival and multi
plication of the more intellectual, more
refined, and altogether distinctively hui
man specimens. 1t is desirable that this
should be effected by some natural or
spontaneous proceeding of self-extinc.
ton, performed by the animal speci-
mems themselves. If this self-immola-
ton can be process that is enjoyable
in their own estimation, all the objec-
tons to it that might otherwise be sug-
gested by our feelings of humanity are
removed.
Now, these conditions are exactly full
filed by the alcoholic drinks of the
present day when used for the purpose
of obtaining intoxication.- W, Mattieu

How Railway Kings Travel

The traveller who has modern Sleep
ing-cars and hotel-cars at his command
would seem to have reached the height
of luxury. He is surrounded by soft,
fabrics of exquisite color, and beautiful
specimens of handiwork in choice woods
and costly metals. His dinneris served
to him while he is being whirled along
at thirty-five or forty miles an hour.
But the magnates of the great railroad
lines contrive to secure still finer cars
and still greater luxuries for themselves
when they travel.
The President of the Central Pacific
has recently ordered palace-car to be
built for his wife, the cost of which is
to be thirty thousand dollars. Mr..
Vanderbilt has private car which cost
forty thousand dollars. One-half the
interior is a grand saloon walled in by
big plate-glass windows and furnished
with arm-chairs. lounges and tables.
The other half is occupied by kitchen,
bathroom, private sitting-room, etc.
Mr.. Vanderbilt has inherited his faith
er's fondness for fast travelling with
special engine, on special time, and Of
ten makes six hundred miles between
day, light and dark. He dislikes night
travel, but when it is necessary he has
a s.sleeper" attached to his private car.
The President of the Erie Railway
has one of the most elegant of private
cars. It is seventy-two feet long, or a
little longer than the Pullman cars.
The first room is walled with Irish
bog-oak, carved and coiled with lighter
wood, ornately stenciled. The furni-
ture is of the most luxurious and beau
tiful pattern. A wide hallway leads in
to the main saloon, and on one side of
it is bedroom while at the other is a
large bathroom.
The bathroom has deep tub and a
marble toilet-stand. The bedroom con-
tains full-sized bed. which when not

Prospective Prices of Grain and Pork.

A loud cry is heard through all the
great produce markets that we have
enormous crops. If we are to believe
the statements of the papers and the
dealers interested, the country, yea, the
whole world never before raised such
oats, corn and other cereals; and, as a
necessary consequence, prices must be
far lower than they are, and perhaps
lower than for many years before.
But we would warn farmers not to ac-
cept these conclusions. We have heard
such stories before. There seems to be,
each year, something like conspiracy
to bear down prices by a concerted howl
OF great crops and small demand, until
the grain passes out of the farmers
hands, when there is sudden discovery
that q mistake has been made; the sup
ply is much less or the demand much
greater than was anticipated. Prices
are forced up, the dealer getting the
benefit and the consumer losing it.
To our view, there is prospect for
high prices before another harvest, and
farmers should have the benefit of them.
The worlds stock of wheat was WELL
nigh exhausted by the general deficiency
in last years crops; and one large crop
is not enough to bring it up to the usual
average. The same is true of corn; and
the deficiency from that cause is increas-
ed by the fact that new uses are con-
stantly being discovered for corn, and
,he demand for glucose, whisky, corn
starch, etc., is unlimited. The stock of
hogs has been run down to the lowest
possible point by the scarcity of corn
and the ravages of cholera, and it can
not be brought around in one year. We
look for good prices, quite above the
average, for this years crop, and we
hope to see those who produce these
crops receive the benefit of the good
prices. -Sycamore (IU) True Repabli-

Hot and Gold Drinks.

A correspondent of the Knowledge call
attention to some of the disadvantages
of hot drinks. Cold drinks, he says, are
natural to man, though most people
nowadays are so used to hot drinks that
they do not feel satisfactiOn-really
stimulating-unless they have them.
Hot drinks are injurious to the tongue,
for they deaden its sensation, and after
taking hot soup or drink, the tongue be-
comes quite dumb, and unable to taste
the finer favors of dish. The teeth
are greatly injured by them, and many
dentists say carries decay is due to
them alone. They crack the enamel,
and thus allow carries to set in. When
carries has once set in, hot drinks are q
common cause of neuralgia.
Hot drinks are especially hurtful to
the stomach. They cause irritation OF
the nerves of the stomach, and conse-
quent mild inflammation of that organ,
SO that after hot drink the stomach is
red and congested; in time debilitated
condition is set up. A temperature OF
100 deg. Fahrenheit also destroys the
active ferment of the gastric juice-pep-
sin-and so leads to Indigestion. If the
SUOmacn is aC all ulSOTuercu, Ioo ulhho
give rise to much gripping pain, and in
many cases to vomiting. In cases OF
diarrhea, too, hot drinks only increase
it, while cold ones tend to lessen it.
Thirst is not common in winter, unless
sugary, salty, or hot spiced foods have
been taken. In cold weather, the air
contains more moisture than in hot, and
in cold weather there is less perspiration.
Hot drinks increase the volume of heat
in the body, and il that is not required,
it is quickly got rid Of by the skin. Wa
ter is the best thirst-quencher, but If
simple food is taken, the need of drink
will be small. Many vegetarians drink
nothing from month to month, the only
fluid they get being the juices of the
fruits which they eat. But pleasant
drinks, like tea, coffee, etc., may be
taken lukewarm for a long time with
little apparent damage. The least in
furious Is cocoa, made with plenty of
milk, and allowed to stand until nearly
cool. A good test Is to apply the little
finger to the drink, and il 1t be not hot
to Il. then it may safely be taken.

Ten thousand Acres of Oysters.

Two hundred miles of oyster beds,
thirty to seventy miles wide, that is to
say 10000 acres of splendid oysters, with
in easy distance of the British coast, is
a discovery to which all those of Stan
ley and Livingstone sink into insignif-
canoe. One curious feature about it is
that the oysters lie at depth of twenty
one fathoms, thus disposing summarily
of the prevalent idea that oysters can
only be raised successfully in shallow
water. The man who invents new
dish, according to some, the man who
plants tree, according to the Moham-
medans, deserves well of mankind; but
what is the reward of man who dis
covers 10000 acres of oystersp And yet
all this is tinged with the melancholy
doubt whether oysters will be cheaper
in consequence. " .-,. r-,rag -.

Learn to Swim.

Every man, woman and child should
learn to swim. 1t is not difficult art
surely we can learn to do what all ami
mails accomplished without teachingp
Paddle gently with hands and feet, the
head being erect, wherever it is desired
to 60. This being carried out,
is absolutely all that is needful under
ordinary conditions to preserve life.
Children ought to be made to tread wa
ter from their earliest age, say in shall
low slate baths, with blood-warm water,
or when convenient and suitable, some
river, pond, or in the open sea. A leath-
er belt with ring, land "a stout rod with
line and hook, are employed by the Por-
tuguese mothers to instruct their chill
dren. The mother, rod in hand, stands
on the brink. The child learns in the
water. In Paris swimming schools the
same procedure is resorted to. The
business cannot be begun too soon. l
saw mere infants sustaining themselves
perfectly in the tepid waters of Africa.
Treading water is far safer than swim
ming in broken sea. Every adult,
man or woman, who has not practiced
it, should begin. Once the conviction
instilled that the body is lighter than
water, the risk of drowning is reduced
to zero. The process involves no uncer-
tainty, no delay. Very different from
swimming, it can be acquired at once.
This is not the first time we have men,
toned this subject, and we hope its i'm
portance may be appreciated by our
readers. .,.'.-......
