DEAD FIsH.-A cause for the large
number of the bodies of the funny tribe
which the waters of Lake Mendoza have
east up and which has caused the citi-
zenS of Madison untold anxiety rs to
the city's health, has been found at last,
which seems plausible enough at least
On Sunday two gentlemen of Madison
resolving themselves into a self-constit-
uted inquisition, made pretty thorough
examination of number of the dead
bodies of the finny tribe. These gentle
men made more of a common sense
than scientific examination. and report
that "the majority of fish found dead
appear to have been troubled with a
small worm, found in the throat, which
very likely caused strangulation. The
fish rising to the surface. the worm
drops out and returns to the vegetation
upon which the fish feed. Said worm
is about one half an inch in length, with
stripes across the back, general color
gray" The question now is what can
be done to EXTERN mate the worm.

NEWPORT STYLES.
Lace Dresses-Mourning Simplicity-Jewelry
Pnffs-August Notes.

From our Regular Correspondent.
The lace dress is a great success.
Vulgarity as applied to limitations has
grown historic, and the lady who would
shudder at the mention of "rolled gold''
now wears an imitation chantiily and
takes pride in doing so. Spanish lace
both black and white, in qualities not
more expensive than high priced gren-
adine, is in great favor, while for white
lace dresses we see the Oriental and imi-
tation Mechlin in Eidelweiss and mai
den-hair-fern patterns refined enough
to please any one. OF course there are
real laces running up to many hundreds
but these are reserved for full-dress and
the owner does not feel an old-time and
orthodox contempt for something less
costly. A parade of simplicity is often
made and in her sanctum of villa life,
the lady who had grandfather wears
morning wool OF pretentions plain
ness; beholding afar off the Saratoga
woman who begins by ten o'clock her
daily exhibitions. Pretentions in its
plainness is that wool. The tailor
stitch showing modestly, as likewise the
severe linen collar and gold button.
Jewelry is an adherence; befangle-
ment an offense. This avoidance of
jewelry is indeed a feature of the time.
The jingling bracelet, the earring, have
gone to keep company with the ''set,"
and though one might scarce say that
the pretty trilles in lace pins which re-
placed the brooch are growing unfash-
ionable. yet they are not paraded as
formerly. Jewellers are saving them
selves by an evening gorgeousn ess.
They exhibit rows of diamonds that be-
fore long glitter on some Newport neck.
Strings of pearls glow with softer yet
very fashionable light, while to atone
for abstinence in daytime, the stylish
ear is radient with some grand, peculiar
solitaire, more valued if associated with
an ancient superstition or magnetic
charm. Cat's-eyes are therefore in
great demand; AleXandrites, green by
day and red by night, are unique enough
to please, while the soft moonstone
holds it's own beside the bright yellow
Hastings of the Sunstone Hotel piaz-
zas witness revel of putfs, and did the
right kind of people indulge, it were
one of those indulgences to which we
would do well to be indulgent. Given
so many perpendicular feet properly
pulled horizontally, and your result is
an agreeable equation. But seeing this,
the horizontally developed Beauty does
likewise; SO many horizontal feet hori-
zontally puffed-result, the submerging
of all equation in pillows of puffs mys-
teriously gifted with locomotion. There
is much choice in puffs, however. The
principal one is always at the back.
This can be selected, and a pleasing
rivalry goes on as to who can bring
about the hugest. One may also adopt
puffs at the sides and complete the
circle by one or more in front. We are
saved from a despotism of puffs by the
round skirt, while such modest individ-
uals as the clergyman's wife or subdued
elderly lady make show of modera-
ton.

HEALTH. Prompted by the menace
of cholera visitation, boards of health
all over the country are actively en-
gagged. That is well. Every town, viii
lage, and family should at once ''set It's
house in order" for the reception of the
unwelcome guest. 1t is n case where
an ounce of prevention is worth great
many pounds of cure. Cleanliness and
intelligent care about home premises
and in respect of personal habits. will
go far toward warding off danger from
cholera and various other forms of
disease. The State Board of Health
has issued circular containing impor-
tant information on the subject, which
will be forwarded to any one address

What He Wanted to Join Church For

Pittsburg Commercial-Gazette.
Some people in this world have queer notions
of the saving power of religion. The Rev. E. r.
Donehoo tells good story about its compensa-
lions, though in this case the compensatory part
of it was rather in the prospective. As is pretty
generally known he is, among other things, the
Jail chaplain. Frequently up there his parish
oners are more anxious TO get out where they
can choose between rum and true religion, than
they are to remain where the good minister can
force them into Il corner and pour the gospel
into them whether they will or not.
One Of his recent subjects Of this class was a
victim of forgetfulness. He got lot of goods
he forgot to pay for He is Il married man and
the restraints of the jail made him desperate
He laid in wait for the minister, and taking him
aside out of the hearing Of the other prisoners
he looked him squarely in the eye and said:
''See here, l never thought of such a thing
before in my life, but a man will do almost any
thing to get out of place like this. Now, I'll
tell you what I'll do. You get me out of here
and I'll join the church."
The solemn impressiveness with which he
concluded the offer made Mr. Donehoo feels as
if the man really thought he was making sac
rifce next in Importance to sulTendering his
life. As soon as he recovered from his surprise
he asked him:
''What church will you jonl"
81 don't care a d----n which. I'll Join any
church you say, only get me OUT
