BEECHER IN LONDON.

Rev. Henry Ward Beecher
astonished London audience by
speaking from a specially built
platform in DR.. Parker's church.
The usual pepper-box pulpit was too
cramped for him. Beecher was
afterward entertained at the Metro
politan Hotel, Minister Phelps and
many well-known Americans being
present. The guest was in fine
health and spirits, and made an
eloquent speech, which was enthu.
siastically applauded. In collclud-
ing he proposed the toast, "The
Anglican Pastorate," which was
responded to by Canon Fleming
and Rev. Messrs. Howes and
Parker. Mr.. Justice Matthews re-
sponded to the toast, international
Intercourse" Eighty persons sat
at the tables. Toasts to Queen
Victoria and President Cleveland
were proposed and responded to.
Beecher, in replying to the toast to
his health, gave an account of his
own career. He said he rejoiced
that he had lived to see all differ
ences disappear between the North
and South. He eulogized the mis-
sionary in the Southern States, and
expressed the opinion that nowhere
were the masses SO conservative as
in democratic and free countries
He also made reference to Ireland
Mr.. Beecher was to have delivered

a PECULIAR FISH.
The Finny Inhabitants of the Lake of Cali
lee and the River Jordan.

The Finny Inhabitants of the Lake of Cali
lee and the River Jordan.
The most characteristic fishes of the
Lake of Galilee belong to the family Of
ChromidP, three species of which are
figured in DR.. Tristram's work. Chro
1a&S 1IbertadjS is peculiar to the Jordan
and its affiuents alone. 1t is found in
the most amazing numbers from the
Lake Huleh to the head of the Dead Sea.
lit is by far the most abundant of all
the species in the lakes" 81 have seen
them," continues DR.. Tristram, sin
shoals of over an acre in extent, so
closely packed that seemedimpossible
for them to move, and with their dorsal
fins above the water, giving at dis
lance the appearance of tremendous
shower patterinc on one spot of the
CLASSY lake. They are taken both in
boats and from the shore by nets run
deity round and inclosing what one
may call solid mass at one swoop, and
very often the net breaks. They are
also taken in large quantities by poi
soned crumbs thrown from the shore on
to the surface of the water. By casting
nets hundreds are often taken at once"
When they reach the Dead Sea, which
they do in thousands, they do not get
further than few yards when they be-
come stupefied, and turn over on their
backs, "while cormorants and king
fishers perched on the snags of floating
logs gorge themselves without effort,
and often heaps of putrefying carcasses
washed on the shore poison the atmos-
phere and afford plenteous feast to
the ravens and vultures." The prop
agaton of ChromiS Sim,ontS, also
peculiar to the Jordan system, and re-
stricted to the lakes of Galilee and
Huleh, is remarkable, but not unique,
as some South American species also
exhibit the same phenomenon-e. e.,
some of the genus 4ArjuS. The male
takes the ova into his pharynX, and
there matches them. Speaking of the
C4rOmjS Sjn1OHis, Tristram quotes some
of DR.. Lortet's observations: ''The
little ones rapidly increase in size, and
appear to be much incommoded in their
narrow prison. They remain in great
numbers, pressed one against another
like the grains of a ripe pomegranate.
The mouth of the father nurse now be-
comes SO distended by his progeny that
his jaws can not meet. The cheeks are
swollen, and the animal presents the
strangest appearance. Some of the
young, arrived at this perfect state,
continue to live and develop among
the folds Of the branchie. Others have
their heads turned toward the mouth
Of the parent, and do not quit the
sheltering cavity till they are about
four inches long and sufficiently active
and nimble to escape their numerous
enemies. 1t is difficult to understand
how the male, who thus carries more
than two hundred young for several
weeks, can feed without swallowing
along with his prey great number of
his fry. 1t is in the springs close to the
lake that these fish spawn. "-Edia-

What the Matter Is.

Every clothing merchant is trying
hard to sell his clothing at great re-
duction from late reasonable prices,
and yet he sees enough men 90 by his
store daily, in need of a new suit, to
exhaust his stock. Why don't they
buy?
Simply because they have not the
money.
Seven out of every ten of them have
spent enough for cigars, tobacco or
Tor liquor, to buy and pay for a new
suit at the opening of every season,
but they have to make one suit "hold
on as long as the seams will stay to-
gether.
But the saloonist makes no special
effort. His trade is regular; his goods
sell easy; his customers raise the mon
ey somehow, and he grows sleek and
fat, and impudent and saucy.
Look on this picture and then on
that and you will have 4 bird's-eye
view of the cause of "hard times"
Turn the money which now flows into
the absorbing channel of liquor into
the respectable channels of trade, and
there will be better times.
Close the saloons, and let the money
which they handle accumulate in the
pockets of the laboring people, and
then they can buy bread and boots and
clothes, and comforts and luxuries.
Stop the liquor leak.--NattoRal W. C.

CAROLINE HERSCHEL.


Some of the Idiosyncrasies of Great As

One of the notorieties of Hanover
forty years ago was old Caroline Her.
schel. the sister of the great astron-
omer, Sir William Herschel. She was
his assistant, and it used to be said that
the sister knew as much as the brother.
After her brothers death, in 1922, she
returned to her native place, Hanover,
where she resided until her death, in
her nlnty-nlnth year. She always in

the new planet. My eye first detected
it, but my brother received the gold
medal of the Royal Society for the dis
covery."
The old lady had one servant, a
dwarf maid, as oldfashioned as herself,
and the two read all the books they could
find on one subject-love. The old
maid would search the shelves OF
second hand booksellers, for old books
full of excitement envy and hatred,
created by jealousy and love. These
tales of passion the two lone spinsters
eagerly devoured day and night
1t may be that the old woman's
mathematical mind craved this excite

nomical calculations. Alexander Dallas
Bache, during the years he was superin-

habit of reading the trashiest of novels,

He rested himself by reading every
thing that was exciting enough to make
him forget angles. sines and figures
On the old lady's ninety-ninth birth
day the King of Hanover sent her a
kind message and a magnificent bou-

with a beautlfulsofa, as the most suitable
gift for her declining years. She never
sat on it, much less reclined on its soft
cushion, holding it too sacred for pie

state in her parlor, and the old lady,
seated in high-backed wooden chair,
called upon every guest to admire
the prncely gift. At her funeral the
sofa was placed at the head of her
coffin, according to her own instruc-
tons. The German pastor, in his
funeral Grafton, after he had carried

The Forest Commission appointed
four years ago by the State of New
Hampshire say in a recent report that
the annual value of the crude products
of the forests of that State is about five
million dollars, which is about half
that OF the principal crops OF the State.
Decreasing has, according to local
testimony collected by the Commits
sion, much diminished the water power
during the summer months, and the
report considers that the effect of the
denudation of the White Mountains
upon manufactures and other great
public interests will be as serious as
that of the Adirondacks. Considering
that Holyoke, Manchester, Nashus,

Comfortably seated at breakfast one
Sunday morning, after long and ar
