Speaking of carp, at least one speci-
men of this remarkable fish has attained
considerable fame. lie is a fine fellow,
which a year ago weighed eight pounds,
and may o b. larger. His home is in
a little pond in the grounds Of the fish
commission in Washington. Professor
Baird has made n pet of him Tor two
or three years past. He frequently dips
him up in a net and exhibits him to
visitors. The big fish has undergone
this ordeal so often that it has ceased
to alarm or disturb him seriously. He
will submit to handling for 5 yer i
minutes and patiently await his return
to his coy little pond
Two years ago Bahoo;k lake over
flowed the breeding ponds below il. aud
thousands of government fish got into
the Potomac. Among them was the
big pet carp. His loss caused great
grief among the men of science, who had
become attacked to him for his noble
proportions and his amiable disposition.
A week or two after his escape the
Potomac vas frozen over, and the boys
had fun catching fish through holes in
the ice. More than a mile from the
pond, his former home, the big carp
was pulled out by some enterprising
youngster. One of them knew that
the commission had a steady demand
for remarkable fish and took his captive
to Professor Baird. The scientist was
oyerjoyed at the recovery of his pet. lie
paid the boy 50 for him and restored
him to his own little pond. The pro
fessor says the fish showed every sign
Of joy at his restoration to the home of
his youth.

Net long ago IN Ingenious frenchmar,
named NJ. SOIlIrice, conceived aud car
rel into effect a plan for collecting the
srense and other matters which dohle
the Seine and making the former into
soap and glycerine. Into the river
flows not only sew &c, but refuse Of all
kinds from manufactures, kitchens,
etc, which contains large quantities Of
grease. Along the margin of the Seine
piers have been constructed to intercept
most of the greasy aud solid matters,
which arc lifted out by laborers armed
with huge forks and spoons, and
chemically treated at the works" the
solid matter helping to feed the fur
naces.
Having these extensive arrangements
for clearing the river, NJ. SoufTrice Of
fered to remove all dead animals be-
tween Ansieres and Argenteuil. The
offer was gladly accepted by the pre-
lecture of the Seine. In consequences
of the vast amount of decaying matters
accumulated at the works, which are
situated at Bouget, immense numbers
Of lies were attracted. and soon gentles
appeared in millions. Some of these
were of large size, presumably the we'll
fattened offspring Of bluebottles and
eminently suited for angling purposes
OF this fact the fishermen OF the
Seine soon became aware, and a brisk
trade in gentles commenced This
proving very profitable. NJ. SoufIrice
caused the finger maggots, or asticots,
to be collected, and had them sheltered
and cultivated in a shed built expressly
for the purpose. Under these favora
bic circumstances the gentles were
found to still increase in size, and the
demand became greater than ever. 1t
is stated that last season no less than
e5,O 900 francs, or 1000 pounds sterling,
worth of gentles were sold from the
factory. In another department of
the same works rich oil cake, for feed
ing pigs, is manufactured. It is to be
hoped that pork SO fed is all consumed

A Bride of Eighty.

Last spring Mrs.. Charlotte Garfield, of
Birmingham. Conn. a widow of 80, mar
ried Harry Baldwin. a young man of %.
She had considerable property, which
Harry drew upon quite literally. The
old lady did not object until she became
suspicious that he had an eye for younger
women. Then she drew her purse strings
and three months ago applied for II div
orce. Harry promised reformation, and
she withdrew the suit, but about that
time decided her property to her niece,
Fannie l.. Owens, of Cambridgeport,
Mass. The husband protested that the
old lady was mentally incompetent to dis
pose of her property, and applied for a
c%onservator. The court granted one, and
if mental u%nsoundness can be proved, he
will win a suit he has brought in the
courts to recover the property conveyed to
the niece. IL il reported that the old
lady has no recollection of the transac-
ton. -Bosfon Herald.

he said TO me, within a year of his
death, but it can't BIO done"
His meaning was that his reputation
had been made in one of the fiction
journals whose pages are printed with
a border, distinctive to that class of
publications; and he would gladly have
freed himself from association with a
low walk in literature, but a ten-years'
contract bound him not to use his nom
de plume elsewhere. Thinking that
possibly his misspelled aphorisms might
gain equal favor on their merits, he
arranged TO write some of them for The
Century Maya inc over the signature

fact that they got no currency as quota
tons in the daily press, that there was
no such thing as duplicating Josh Bill

Both in Italy and other countries the
archaic images of the deities were
painted red, and the traditional prac.
tice was intended to please ''the color
sense" by which is meant that these
images were regarded as pretty gew-
gaws.
This is not likely, and tho true ex-
PLANTATION is that the color red was
sacred. All pristine creeds can, with
probability, be traced ultimately to two
origins. They are, in different dis
guises, the worship of the sun and the
worship of humanity.
Red became, therefore, an exception
ally odious color whan the ascetic tenn
per gained possession of religion.
The author of the Wisdom of Solo
mon" betrays a profound antipathy in
the following; cor made it like some
vile beast, LAYING it over with yermilion
and with paint coloring it red, and coy
ering every spot therein" The coating
of yermilion was plainly offensive to
him, and he describes in another place
the voluptuary as crying: Let us crown
ourselves with %rosebuds before they are
withered." Afterward a fresh associa-
ton was added, and scarlet typifed not
only the sins of Babylon, but their pun
lshment.

A civic association has been formed
at San Francisco to assist the unem-
ployed. The scheme has some curious
features. In order to induce subserip-
tons it has been determined that the
religious denomination making the
largest shall hold the opening services
at the dedication of the bureau, every
denomination subscribing TO have its
percentage of days of worship accord
ing to the amount of its subscriptions,
and political parties will have divided
among them evenings set apart for
political discussions. A bust of the
largest subscriber will be placed in the
position of honor in the hall, at the
foot Of which will be a bust of the most
successful canvasser of subscriptions.
This scheme is reported to be making
rapid progress among the business men.
The main object is to head off the

In the central square of the capitol at
Rome, surrounded on three sides by
buildings, stands a very large statue OF
Marcus Aurelius, once emperor of
Rome, mounted IN a spirited horse.
This is the only equestrian statue which
has been preserved in a perfect condi-
ton out of the many that decorated
ancient Rome. Michael Angelo. who
designed the buildings which at present
stand ON this hill, was very fond of this
statue, and especially admired the
horse. One day, while he was studying
it. he forgot that it was not alive, and
wishing to see it in another position, he
cried 3ut CAM which means 20 on.
After looking at this horse for some
time, one might easily imagine that a
shout or a touch Of a whip would make
IL jump.

familiarity with that animal and its
habits than perhaps any other man liv-
ing, says that elephants make use Of q
great variety Of sounds in communicat
ing with each other. and in expressing
their wants and feelings.
some are uttered by the trunk, some
" the throat. The ~coniunctures in
which either mean Of expression is en-
ployed can not be strictly classified, "a
fear, pleasure, want, and other emo.
tons, are sometimes indicated by tho
trunk, sometimes by the throat. An
elephant rushing upon an assailant
trumpets shrilly with fury, but if en-
ragged by wounds or other causes, and
hrooding by itself, it expresses its anger
by n continued hoarse grumbling from
the throat.
Fear is similarly expressed in a shrill,
brassy trumpet, or by a roar from the
lungs. Pleasure by a continued low
~slueaking through the trunk, or AN al
most inaudible purring sound from the
throat. Want-as a calf calling its
mothor-is chiefly expressed by the
throat. A peculiar sound is made use
Of by elephants to express dislike or APP
prehension, and at the same time TO in
timidate, as when the cause of some
alarm has not been clearly ascertained,
and the animals wish to deter an intru-
der. 1t is produced by rapping the end
Of the trunk smartly on the ground, a
current of air hitherto RETAINED being
sharply emitted through the trunk, as
from a valve, at the moment of impact.
