A Lawyers Courage.

A well-known New Yorker, speaking
of the late Charles O'Conor, said:
ffHe was man of very eccentric dis
position and peculiar in everything he
did. He lived nearly thirteen miles out
of the city, and, being troubled greatly
by dyspepsia, he decided to walk to and
from his office. This he did daily, rain,
or shine, In all weather, covering the
round distance of twenty five odd miles
in good pedestrian style. His neigh
bors, who were mostly well-to-do peo-
pie knew this, and some of the younger
men, knowing that he walked home even
in dark winter nights, decided to put his
courage to the test. They arranged a
plan accordingly, and hired a stout-built
laboring man to act the part of high
wayman. The fellow was dressed in a
| greatcoat, with a big SLOUGH hat and
huge false whiskers. He was armed
with a large old-fashioned pistol
empty, of course.
1.-The night on which the precious
rascals decided to scare the testy old
lawyer was a wild and stormy one
in midwinter. The ground was white
with snow, which had been falling con,
stantly for hours. The party was posted
at convenient spot where they could
see all that occurred while invisible
themselves. At lonely spot on the
road the make believe footpad jumped
out from behind fence and faced the
little lawyer. Your money or youl
life p he sang ont Justify, presenting his
pistol full in O'Conor's face. The lawyer
stepped back, but didn't blanch bit
He set his teeth firmly and hisset
through them:
"I haven't got any money, and if
had, [ wouldn't give you confoundet
cent. AS for my life, it isn't worth mucl
to anybody
1.-THE fellow was nonplussed. He haC
expected resistance, but here was
brave man who, all alone and unarme'
as he was, deied him. He lowered hi
pistol, gathered his greatcoat about hin
and took to his heels. After that tn
young bloods of the neighborhood neve
undertook to dispute the courage o
| Charles OConor."

Frightened.

Darwin writes that he created i'm
mense excitement once in a monkey
cage in the London Zoo by bringing a
stuffed snake there. Three species of
cercopithecus were the most alarmed.
They darted about their cages and ut
tered sharp cries of danger, which were
understood by the other monkeys. He
then placed it on the ground in one of
the larger compartments. After time
all the monkeys collected round it in a
large circle, and, staring intently, pre-
scented a most ludicrous appearance
They became extremely nervous so that
when wooden ball with which they
were familiar as plaything was acct
dentally moved in the straw under
which it was hidden, they all instantly
leaped away.

Under the Canopy.

Sitting on the front porch of the hotel,
says a Florida correspondent, was IN
troduced to one of the old residents, and
the conversation ran naturally toward
heat and mosquitoes.
swell, SIR said the old resident,
"some people complain of mosquitoes,
but they never trouble me. / have lived
in my present house for four years. and
when 1 first went there l had canopy
over the bed; but have never had &C.
casion to use it. No, Sir; not once In
four years"
When 1 went to my room that night,
and found a canopy over my bed, and a
hundred thousand mosquitoes in the
room, mad because they couldn't get in-
side the canopy, was glad the canopy
was there. But when l went to bed and
found two hundred thousand mosqui-
toes underneath the canopy, all laug Ching
at the outsiders because they couldn't
get in, and all nibbling at me between
laughs, / wished the canopy in Guinea.
When mosquitoes make you get up at
o'clock in the morning and sit for all
hour smoking your pipe, slapping and
wishing yourself dead, it is a mild use
of language to say that they are thick.

No FACTS. In his address before the
American Health Association, DR.. Hunt,
while speaking of the difference between
anan who is able to discover fact and
one who can discover merely an account
of one, illustrated his point by referring
to the mental habits of astronomers. 1t
appears that Washington astronomer
was at a recent marriage reception, and,
being somewhat absorbed in thought,
was asked if he had paid his respects to
the bride. "No," was the answer, II
have not" ''But why do you delay ?"
asked his friend. Because" said he,

The Fish Supply.

During a meeting of the American
Fish Culturists' Association, Mr.. John
A. Ryder, in paper on Legislation
Necessary for the Protection of Ocean
Industries" said that IS, 600 men and
over S30,000,000 of capital were en-
ployed IN supplying table fish to the
market, while a large fleet of steamers
and over two thousand men were en-
ployed in the menhaden fisheries. He
gave large number of interesting sta
tistics tending to establish his conclu-
sion, that there had been no decrease in
the supply of fish for many years. His
figures showed that menhaden (Which
are regarded as the food supply of other
valuable fish are far from being exter-
minated, and that with them, as with
other food fishes, there are seasons of
great abundance and seasons of scarcity,
and that up to the present time these
seasons have not been affected by human
agency, although what are known as
hook and line fishermen testify that their
occupation and means of livelihood are
seriously impaired Yet from his expe-
rience MIR. Ryder believed the facts to
be that, with the exception of striped
bass and Holsters, all kinds of sea fish
are as abundant now as they were tif-
teen years ago. He therefore concluded
that legislation looking to the restric-
ton of the menhaden fisheries was unnec-
essary, and that any laws prohibiting
pound and trap net fishing would cut off
a large proportion of abundant food for
the people to no useful purpose. He
hoped, however, that Congress would
take some action looking to the statistics
of fisheries, so that they might legislate
to protect the fish industry without OPP
pressing the fishermen.

In HER CHAIR.-A teacher in Law
renee Mass sc DOL sent home for an

arrived he gave as an excuse for his tar
diness that his aunt-who was alone in

Money is the universal necessity and none
but a cynic or fool will affect to despise it.
Mr.. Abram Ellsworth, of Port Even, Ulster
County, N. Y, had realized this truth. His
disease involved the whole of his thigh bone,
and the suffering man looked forward, not
without apparent reason, to death as his only
deliverer His family physician refused to
amputate the understanding that the opera
ton would kill the patient on the spot. DIR.
DAVID KENNEDY, of HsOndOut, N. NJ,
who was consulted, held different opinion
and amputated the limb. The doctor then adj
mini.tared freely his great Blood medicine,
FAVORETE REMEDY, to afford tone and
strength to the system, to prevent the return
of the disease. and Mr.. Ellsworth remains to
this day in the bloom of health. This gentle
mans disease was the offspring of foul blood,
