An Immense Age.

Professor Baird says that there Is
nothing to prevent a fish from living
indefinitely, as it has no period of
maturity, but grows with each e
He is authority likewise for saying that
within fifty years a pike was living in
Russia whose age, according to tradi-
ton, dated back to the fifteenth century.
Probably some persons will doubt what
is said BY Prof. Baird about the age a
fish can attain. If they do, they are
simply doubling the best known
authority On fish. The Russian Minis
ter says that in the royal aquarium In
st. Petersburg there are fish to-day
that have been known by the records
to have been in them one hundred and
forty years. Some of them are, he
says, over five times as large as when
they were captured, while others have
not grown IN inch in length. An at
tache Of the Chinese Legation corrob-
crates this statement. He says there
are sacred fish kept in some of the
palaces in China that are even olden
than any of those in Russia. Gold
fishes have been known to have be-
longed to II family in this country
for over fifty years.

Intelligent Gratitude of a Dog,

"You may call it instinct, if you
like, but / shall insist that it is intelli-
gence that makes some brutes behave
SO sensibly Is they do" said a gentle
man in conversation with a reporter
and then the gentleman added:
"Tve had all the proof l want Of it
to-day. In the dooryard of an unoccu-
pied house adjoining mine twelve little
puppies uttered their first yelp yester-
day morning. Their mother, an old
black and white mongrel, with an eye
to the safety of her large new family,
took them Il by m and laid them in
a marrow area, down by one of the cell
lar windows. One Of the panes hap
pened to be out of the window, how.
ever, and before night every one of the
puppies had crawled through the
opening and fallen to the cellar floor
some six feet below.
"Next morning we missed them,
and from the whining of the mother,
supposed that the puppies were all dead
on the hard cellar floor. But, later in
the day, the maternal brute set up such
a paving and bowling at the cellar
window that ! made up my mind there
was some puppy life below. Accord
ingly | broke into tl,e cellar and, to my
surprise, found eight Of the little
family of dogs still alive and kicking.
One by II took them up and placed
them in the do0ryard grass for the
mother to take wherever she might
choose, and one by one she laid them
back in the area of the broken cellar
window.
"This compelled me to stop up the
hole in the broken pane, to prevent
the puppies from crawling through
again. Then, when it was all done,
the old mother brute, beside herself as
she was with JOY, and anxious to devote
every second of her time to the recov-
cred puppies, crawled up laboriously
out of the area, and, leaving the litter
alone, came wriggling and sneezing,
and all but laughing up to me, a
stranger, and licked my hand as 1 held
it down to pat her head.
mo, that's not instinct. That is as
plain and as intelligent a Thank you
as a human being ever uttered"

Places Which Rival Hades in Pohat Of
Torrii Comfort.


aBefore / left the United States"
writes a traveller, "some people said to
me that Persia was a very hot and
unhealthy place. | pointed with a
.giImph to a statement of one of our
ministers, publ lied in the Century, to
tie effect that the climate was delight
full. and stole upon your senses grad
ually, like the zephyr, laden with the
fragrance of myriads of flowers, or
words to that effect. Alas, l have been
sadly disabused, There is a Persian
proyerb as old as the hills which hath
in that "Iran hqfce ktUn dared" de,
Persia has seven climates y and,
as most proverbs, it is true. Thus,
while along the shores of the Caspian,
hundreds and hundreds Of miles in
length, the climate Is moist, fever laden,
oppressive in summer, up in the noun
tains in the MaZaaderan district in the
north it is quite raw. In the central
portion, up in the plateau four thou
sand feet above the sea level, from
Teheran into ISphan and way beyond,
the climate Oil the whole is mild and
moderate, with the exception of the
late summer and early fall, when dys-
EMERY, intermittent fever and cholera
prevails. In the south, in Faristan,
Arabistan, and LuriStan, and In a still
higher degree along the Persian gulf,
Busheer, and lIohammcrah included,
the heat is extreme, and it is said that
there are places there which come right
after that other place that must not be
mentioned to ears polite, in point of
torrid comfort. III Bender Abbas, for
instance, the inhabitants amuse them
selves during the heated term by lying
still, in the ARREST Of costumes, in the
cellar, while n servant continually
pOurs water on them and another one
acts as a mobile perpetuum in keeping
the fan going"
