MnyIa foridtana). and in nearly every
case, AS soon as the animal had ex-
hausted the air in our aquarium, the
silvery, eel-like Fierasfer-for this is
the fish's name-would come weighing
out, swim about moment, as If dazed
and bewildered. and then sink to the
bottom and die. W
1t WAS evident that the fish was not
eaten by the Holothurian, and equally
plain that the fish was not adapted for
tho outside world. Henu, we assumed
that the Ficrasfer was u boarder in the
cucumber, and such is really the case.
But, though | made many expert
ments. the fish could never he induced
to return TO its homo, though freshly
aerated water was constantly supplied.
The explanation that seemed the
most tenaOle was that the fish never
left the holuthurian; but this was high
ly improbable, and so the puzzle re-
manned until it was solved by the
curator Of the great aquarium ut Ma
pies, Italy.
He found that his sea-cucumbers
were also inhabited by Fierasfer, and
by carefully watching them he saw the
fishes come out and return.
In the large tank the fishes ventured
out. swan around, probably fed. and
finally returned; and here is the most
remarkable thing about it. Instead OF
returning head first, as you would nat
urally expect, the Fierasfer slipped, not
its head. but the tip of its tail into the
orifice. t

b The Fierasfer, then, is a boarder in
the sea-cucumber, a tenant that not on
ly lives upon its host without pay, but
does not hesitate to attack 1t when
hungry. This has been proved by
Prof. Semper. who found pieces of the
water-lung of the living hotel in the

The Charlotte Prohibitionist is
mistaken in the statement in it's
"Little History" that no party had a
majority in the Legislature of 1855.
That legislature was Republican in
both branches, and that legislature
gave the people the prohibitory law
that was on the Statute books of
Michigan for nearly quarter of a
century. The Supreme Court that
declared the proposed law of 1858
unconstitutionally adopted, and the

1855 was a Democratic court-that

envy, hatred, malice, anger, jealousy,
Obstinancy, ayarice, ETC., which render
so many homes unhappy. On a pam
phlet to show ''how homeopathy may
improve the character of a man and
develop his intelligence" he gives some
wonderful instances of the cures al
legged to have been effected by his
special treatment, which he declares to
be infallible.
In one case, a suspicious, jealous and
violent husband who had ill-treated his
wife for period of sixteen years was
cured, unconsciou ly to himself, by
few globules of nuX yomca dropped
quietly into his broth, and his wife was
soon delighted to hear him humming
some operatic airs and addressing hel
as, "1herie, " ma pou poule, etc. After
