THE rREE-CLIMBINc PERCH.

A Iudiap Fish which walk Boldly
Cp the l(onarchs Of the Forests.
Grant Allen In Popular Scie nee Monthly.
OF all land frequenting fish, however,
By far the most famous is the so-called
climbing perch Of India, which not only
walks boldly out Of the water. but even
climbs trees BY means Of special spines
near the head and tail, 20 arranged as to
stick into the bark and wriggle its way up
awkwaraly something after the same
fashion - the looping" OF caterpillars.
The tree-climber is . small, scaly fiah
seldom more than seven inches long, but
it has developed . special breathing ap-
pssatus to enable it to keep up the stock
Of oxygen on it, terrestrial excursions,
which may b regarded as to some ex-
tent the exsct converse OF the means
employed By divers to supply themselves
with air under the water.
just above the gills, which form of
course, its nataral hereditary breathing
apparatus, the climbing perch has invent
cd new and wholly original water
chamber, containing within it a frilled,
bony organ, which enables it to extract
oxygen from the storsd-up water during
the course Of its aerial peregrin ations.
While on shore it picks up insects,
worms and grubs; but it also has vegeta-
rian tastes OF its own, and does not de-
spise fruits and berries.
The Indian jugglers tame the climb
ing pegches and carry them about with
them q . part Of their stock in trade;
their ability to live for long time out
Of water makes them useful confederates
in many small tricks. which seem very
wondeful to people accustomed to be-
lieve that fish die almost at once when
taken out Of their native element.

Facts About tho Two Men Who As
pare TO Boss the New York Markets
New York Special.
The lair-haired German Baron, Char
lev Woerisho6er, seems 10 be the ruling
spirit OF the stock. market at the mo-
ment. The Baron seems bent upon
aiding into the shoes vacated by Mr..
Vanderbilt and those about to be left be-
hind By Jay Gould when he enters his
alleged retiremsnt on tho first OF the
year. l(r. woerishoffer also retired
from his arm last summer, but with the
removal Of Mr.. Vanderbilt and the pros
pective absence Of Mr.. Gould he appar-
emily thought no saw an opportunity to
become moro famous than when he en-
gineered several years ago his gigantic
Denver and Rio Grande deal and dropped
q 900, 900 in the process. Deacon White
also aches to assume the title OF king OF
the street. Mr.. Woerishoffer, in his
broken, but more or less euphonic Ger
man, insists that the 'Teac0n" only

m CO600B0, anu A0CA0 tuc Po"SA
quired Of . great financial general.
Whether the Baron or the Deacon is
to lead the future bears and bulls is a
question Of considerable interest to Wall
street. The Baron, though mainly a
bull, has been long known for his tena-
cious fondness for iconoclastic views of
stocks, bonds and everything connected
with American railway securities. These
views have been enhanced since his
cousins on the Rhine and throughout the
German Empire were induced to believe
that the Wabash and Willard securities
vcFe dog cheap at par. He is not afraid
to say that tho 0eEmen contingent was
taken in 1t that time, and he is not at
all backward now in stating that it will
take . generation or two to call into full
activity the railroads already built.
Deacon White. on the other hand, re-
minds one Of tho spread-eagleism which

Gays he u for the American continent
and its railroad securities first, last, and
all the time. To him every inch Of the
railroads already built is necessary to
Americas greatness. and that all prop
critics are to blossom with higher prices
and dividends. The Baron, born pes
sinaist. and the deacon, an optimist OF
the highest degree, which does the spec

szIsDiRECTED COURAGE.

\ Nebraska desperate who was
fleeing from the officers entrenched
himself in a barn and with
Winchester rifle held two hundred
men at bay and was finally shot
through the head and burned with
the barn and its contents. Most
of the papers which record this
incident head it Game to the last. -
1t is unquestionable a mistaken
policy for newspapers to hold up
such examples of mlsdlrected
courage as evidences of game.
The man had committed a brutal
and cowardly murder and was
afraid to meet the law. He died
like a rat in hole and when his
courage is subjected to crucial an
alysis, it will be found SO alleged
with the dross Of mental fear as not
to be ranked for a moment with the
fine gold Of the courage which
makes men brave in great dangers
The mistaken idea that acts OF
bloodshed and desperate deeds con-
stitute bravery has lead many a
poor fool to indulge in them IN
order to establish a reputation Tor
courage.
The French blacksmith who
took mad dog by the throat and
held him SO that he prevented the
biting Of number of school child
rem, and who afterwards died OF
hydropbobia, was man OF courage,
along side of which the gam"
Nebraskan desperate was a mere
reptile.

THE RAILROAD ISSUE.

The Austin Reveille has a well
written editorial showing how good
men pledged to railway reform are
forced to swap votes with the cor
poratlons in order to insure the sue
cess Of their county legislation. Ii
they so swap they are accused OF
being purchased by the road and II
they refuse they loose their county
bills and come in for an equal share
of home abuse. There are two
classes of legislation indirectly det-
rimental to the interest OF this
State, the anti railroad bills and
the unseemIy scramble for the
Wardenship of the Penitentlaly.
These two propositions hamper and
entangle everything else and at
least one half of the time OF the
lawmakers is fretted away on these
issues and everything else Is par
tered and traded for them.
If a law were passed making the
War6enship an Office to which the
people directly elected the candl-
date and no more "cinch" bills
were introduced into the railroad
question there would then be some
time left in which the Legislature
could enact some wholesome laws
for the State.
It might as well be admitted now
as any time that the people OF this
State cannot regulate inter State
roads. The APPEAL does not mean
that they ought not to be regulated
or that such regulation is unconstl-
tutional, but it does assert and the
fact is beyond controversy that the
railroad lobbyists are ten to one
more skillful than their opponents
The people have lost all their
fights because they take no further
interest in the matter than to OPP
pose the roads, through the medium
Of speakers and newspapers. When
the time comes for the vote the
tricks are made all over the board
and in the end the road, by giving
each county what it particularly
wants, gets the support of It's dele
gates and sweeps the deck sue
cessfully. There are many theories
regarding the proper way to beat
this system but like the OLD time
game of faro, it has never been con
uuered by calculation.

MECHANICAL NOTES.

Small fiy-wheels, cast hollow and loaded
with lead, is a foreign notion new in this
country. They afford the same centrifugal
power as a large wheel, cost less, and take
up less room.
Benjamin Baker, an English authority on
bridge-building. says Americans are far
ahead of the British in bodybuilding :;
that America is indeed a paradise of me-
chanics, and that the practice in this coun-
try tends to the production of better
bridges than in England.
When you want to mark piece of iron
in order to drill hole, and YOU must mark
through deep hole in arough casting Just
rub chalk where you want the hole to be
drilled. place the casting over it, and rattle
down some of the dirt and sand with an
awl or old file then, with center punch
you can mark the hole to drill.
In order to render glue insoluble in
water, even hot water, it is only necessary
when dissOlving glue, for use, to add a lit
tie potassium bichromate to the water and
expose the glued part to the light. The
proportion of bichromate will vary with
circumstances but for most purposes,
about one-fiitieth of the amount Of glue
will suffice.

the feet, which govern muscular

To Spur a Jaded Appetite

Is one thing, to invigorate and regulate the
digestive organs is another. And yet mere
appetizers are constantly mistaken for and
are even termed tonics Hostetters Stom-
ach Bitters is on a far higher plane in the
category of medical preparations than the
so-called tonics which impart relish for
the food. These have their use. and are
estimable, provided they be pure. But the
scope of the remedial operation of the Bit
tiers is far wider. 1t reforms entirely an
enfeebled condition of the stomach. and
purifies lis juices, if vitiated, as well as pro-
notes their secretion in healthful abund

with the liver and the bowels, been regn-

matter of course. Fever and ague, poverty
of the blood, and consequently debility.
rheumatic ailments and tendency to kid
