Joseph Cook knows about everything,
But Joseph is sometimes little confusing
with numerals and with his fortiethly or
or fiftiethly figures Of speech. In an ut
terance in Canada short time ago from
his inner consciousness about free trade
and protection, he made his language too
perplexing for common comprehension
of what he would be at. He evidently
wanted to buzzfuzz the Kanucks; for, in a
more recent outgiving at Boston he has
uttered the following Republican and SEN
sible doctrine:
"There should be free trade between the
ststesa but protection against foreigners.
Our workingmen must be kept on higher
plane than those in Europe. There might
never have been any American manufsc-
80 bst ior protection"

Fishculturises Experiment-Pulling a
Trout's Teeth.
Seth Green in the American Angler.
CHANGING to glance at the fish in an aquarium
in the window of a confectionery establishment
in Rochester, n. Y, noticed that all the fish,
but one bore scars of conflict In the case of
two of them the well-knoYn fungus growth
which follows injury showed itself, and it was
clear that these fish, though still lively would
soon be in bad way. The fish in the aquarium
were California and brook trout, and the iniu-
ries were inflicted by one of the former. 1t
seems that one of the trout was of sour, quar-
relsome disposition, and had been in the habit of
worrying the others pcrsistently. Seeing the fish
were suffering, stepped in and suggested the
removal of the offending trout, as we are occa-
sionally troubled bylsuch fellows among the trout
in the Caledonia fshponds and the usual rem
edy is to spear and make an end of the would lie
destroyer of his companions. One of these
quarrelsome trout would otherwise wound and
cause the death or large number of others.
But the proprietor objected to adopting the rem
edy suggested and trouble continued to exist IN
the aquarium. Il revisited the establishment
day or two subsequently, and while turning the
matter over in my mind was struck by an idea
which thought worth trying and proceeded at
once to carry into effect. Procuring pair of
pincers, l took the big trout from the
water and extracted IT'S teeth, and those that
could not be drawn l cut down with knife ex-
ercising as much care as possible so as not to in
Jure the fish by handling. The offending fish,
although apparently none the worse for the oper-
ation ceased to attack his companions In ad-
dition to the above will say that the teeth of
the trout are not used for the mastication Of
food. but are intended to aid the fish in main
tanning hold of its prey Trout in ponds and
aquaria have, therefore, no actual need of teeth
for the reason that they are not obliged to seek
their own food. The experiment, I expected,
would result in the death of the fish, but was
happily disappointed, and shall undoubtedly be
able fol
which would otherwise have to be put out of the
way"

The Life of the Woman Who Is Now Figuring
Somewhat Conspicuously.
New York World
Charlotte Corday who ended her short but
eventful life through the ministrations of the
guillotine, in Paris, on the 18th of July, 1893,
was the daughter of poor Norman nobleman
and was born in the department of Orne, July
70, l160. Her father was the author of works of
republican tendency and she inherited not
only his literary, but also his literally patriotic
tastes and temperament. She was impulsive
vehement and passionate to high degree. She
formed violent attachment for young cavalry
officer, who was subsequently assassinated at
CaGn Determined to avenge the death of her
lover, who was Girondist, she went to Paris
and took an apartment not far from the dwelling
OF the great journalist, Marat. For a time she
was undecided as to whether Tsobespierre or
Marat should be the victim of her vengeance
The advocacy by the latter of the killing of more
Girondists decided her choice Providing her
self with knife. she called at Marats house on
the evening of July ID, and with some difficulty
obtained an audience, having promised to ac-
quaint Marat with the plots of the Grondists at
Caen Marat listened to her story, and at it's
conclusion remarked: Within week they will
go to the guillotine." At that moment the Young
woman drew the knife and plunged it to the hilt
in Marats heart The blow was not only struck
with lightning like quckness, but was aimed
with bold and untrembling hand
Charlotte Corday was tried on the morning Of
July IL, and was beheaded on the evening of the
same day Her courage did not forsake her and
she proclaimed as she was brought face to face
with the instrument of death, that she had
killed one man to save hundred thousand
Her courage so impressed an unfortunate Young
German enthusiast named Lux that he wrote a
pamphlet suggesting the erection of a statue to
her memory. for which unwelcome suggestion
he was himself arrested and subsequently, gull

Aside from the arrival of President elect Cleve-
land the event of interest in New York this
evening, was the grand reception given at the
residence of VIM. G. Whitney. 1t was attended
by about $50 ladies and gentlemen representing
the upper crust of Gotham, socially, politically
and financially.
The event was in the guise of a charity parlor
theatrical reception and as such Melted about
81. 500 for the good cause. Probably at no time
since the grand Vanderbilt ball was there a more
elaborate display of fine dresses and rich jewels
The elegant parlors presented most attractive
appearance. The Vanderbilt family was well
represented Mrs. Whitney, as hostess of the
occasion, received the guests. While the theat-
ricals attracted much attention, the social feat
ures OF the occasion were the chief attraction
Unusual interest was taken in the reception by
many because of the frequency with which Mr.
Whitneys name is linked with that of a Cabinet
position.
