Some years ago in Africa a detachment
of troops came to camp on a level stretch
of country, perfectly dry and devoid of a
suspicion of moisture. In digging up the
ground to arrange the tents a fish was
found as dry as a chip-a long eel like
creature coiled in a ball and seemingly
incased in a mud cocoon. The fish was
supposed to be mummified and was taken
as a curiosity and in the course of several
weeks fell into the hands of a naturalist,
who placed it in water. The mud slowly
dissolved and o the fish gave a gasp,
then a convulsive struggle, like a sleeper
awakening, finally swimming off.
Here was a singular example of a fish
living out of water. 1t belonged to a
group known as lung fishes, the mem
bers of which have a peculiar faculty of
migrating overland and of being able to
exist not merely days but months out of
the water. AT certain seasons the lakes
and ponds of some localities in the dark
continent dry up, and were it not for
some provision which enables the fishes
to bridge over this time it is evident that
many would be destroyed. Nature, how
ever, comes to the rescue, and, as the
waters dry up, the fishes either crawl
away to other streams or Immediately
descend into the earth, where they form
themselves into a round ball and lie in a
semi-desiccated condition until the water
comes the ensuing season. 1t is eve
said that fishes nave been known to pass
two consecutive seasons in this condition.

Relation of Diet to Dreams.

"Ah, if our dreams only came true"
sighed the young man that boards.
sLast night 1 dreamed that 1 called On a
lord. 1 find that 1 can control my visions
to a considerable extent by dieting. For
instance, if 1 wish to enjoy a calm night
with dreams of a pleasant character, 1
eat toast or bread and milk just before
retiring. If l wish to have a little ex-
element, quarreling, disputing or a little
active exercise, 1 eat squash pie. 1 have
found from experience and observation
that squash pie acts strongly on the pos
terror part of the brain, where lie the
bumps of combativeness and acquisitive-
ness. 1 nave known times when the
consumption of two pieces of squash pie
hS led mt to slay a man for his money
within fifteen minutes after going to bed.
To make my brain a chamber of horrors,
however, 1 sit down an hour before bed
time and eat three sardines, six olives, a
little Rochefort cheese with crackers,
washing the whole down with a bottle of
Bass. Before morning 1 charge single
handed with my razor on herds of wild
horses, and jump from sundry steeples.
Oh, yes, it is possible to control ones
dreams, and when we understand psy-
cology Alright we can lie down and map
out our dreams as we now mi out a

One of the oldest little creatures in
nature is the leaf ant of Nicaragua. 1t
is from three-fourths of an inch to an
inch in length, and shaped like a COM
mon ant. These little creatures, when at
work, always carry a leaf, so that a
squad of them looks like a little army
with banners, and they file up one side Of
a path about a foot wide, and may be
scores of feet long, while the ants that
have thrown their load at the store house
take the other side and have no banners
at all. Everything moves along like
clockwork. There are the commanding
officers, the lieutenants and everything
just like skilled soldiery. They are said
to be remarkably skillful engineers. -

The tabled butterfly seated in the
roses heart is not more confident of
present sovereignty, and more thought
less of the future than the hapless wo-
man whose face is her fortune and
who is content Herewith. An I'M
spoiled beauty, if not a lusus nature, is a
specimen of her kind sufficiently rare to
warrant surprised inspection. So diff
cult is it for her to keep her head steady
and to order her heart Alright, that even
her plain visaged companions accord her
-magnanimous applause when she sue
ceeds in doing one or both. She is more
likely to pose as Narcissa, ~exacting tribute
of alteration by inordinate estimate of
her attractions. Once convinced that
she is the beauty of her family, she
aspires to eclipse every woman she
knows; is loath to perceive the charms
of others, and, when forced to do
them partial justice, hates her rivals.
The speck of blight works fast
and far in a nature where the
conserving power of sound sense has been
reduced to a minimum by excessive
vanity, bordering upon monomania.
Flattery, conveyed in various vehicles, is
her daily diet, and, if stinted in supplies,
she seeks it avidly, and at any cost-let
it be of her own soul. Earth has no
drearier spectacle than that of a passe
belle, who clings with both hands to the
scepter claimed by younger OIL fairer pre-
tenders to the throne.
1t is harder for beautiful women to be
good than for those who have been
taught from babyhood to seek the ap-
proval which all crave in the cultivation
of mental and moral traits. Hard for
them to put self out of sight. Our beauty
is so fair to view; promises such lavish
return for outlay so trihing that friends
conspire to foster self-esteem. 1t is
harder for her than for her sisters to re-
frain from appeals to the sensuous love of
physical beauty in men that leads them
to critical survey of her as a fine animal,
not the goodly case of a goodlier soul
Harder to be generous to those who
trench upon her province and threaten to
divide her specialization Harland in

Mr.. Alexander r. Webb, United States
consul at Manila, Philippine Islands, thinks
the Manila fire fly far ahead of any light
ming bug he ever saw in st. Louis. 1.-THE
Manila lightning bug, " he says, sis really
q gem in his way. He gives a contin-
uous, twinkling light that looks almost as
large as a hazelnut and resembles an
electric spark. There is a peculiar kind
of tree here that grows in wet places, for
which these bugs have a preference, and
sometimes they almost cover them, so
that the tree resembles a cone, dotted
thickly with large electric sparks. The
sight is a very beautiful one. l am told
that sometimes ladies attend balls and
receptions with numbers of these bugs on
their heads, covered with a thin veil, and
that they shine like diamonds in the

1 was called in some haste to q little
child, about three weeks ago, who was
badly burned about the hands and face
from falling on a hot stove. The burns
were deep, the pain excessive and the
shock very considerable. 1 espied upon
the shelf a bottle of pinus ~canadensis
(colorless). Remembering its wonderful
soothing influence in acute infiamma-
lions, l at once concluded to try it.
Taking a corner of a soft handkerchief, /
rapidly painted the injured parts, when,
like magic, the pain ceased. You can
well imagine my surprise and delight at
the result. l directed a camel's hair
brush to be purchased, and had the
mother make free applications, and the
case had no more treatment, save a little
odioform ointment a little later on.

The noble army Of bald heads is in
creasing in northern Japan. The women
of the hariest of all human races, the
AMOS, are fast marrying Japanese hus,
bands, or sharing their harems, and the
result, as seen in the half breeds, is a
brood that manifests untimcly badness,
not only in the cuticle of body and limbs,
but of face and skull. Bald pates will
soon be as common in Yezo, it is feared,
as in American audiences. The AMOS

One of the most marvellous instances
Of artistic make up ever seen upon the

the audience she looked like an ordinary
wrinkled old woman, but see her close
to upon the stage and one could not but
be surprised at the amount of labor and
fine artistic powers displayed in bringing
out the desired effect. In the work of
making up her face, Miss Cushman
would spend at least an hour. Close to,
the touches of varying, and various col
oring here and there would look broad
and ineffective, while the remarkable
lines running all about the face and neck
were coarse and u%nmeaning. At the
distance of a few feet, however, they all
blended into one harmonious whole, and
formed such a network of delicate
wrinkles, out of which the deeply sunken

brilliancy, as to be a perfect picture of

And trimmed with foods of fond delight

That strayed along the hillside where
Sweet singing birds took spiral flight;
Below, her keenlv, eager sight

One came who held his dearest right
The virgin heart OF Bcroe.
They met with smiles of rapture rare
And kisses such as lovers plight;
The hidden fauns who saw them there
Laughed softly at the comely wight,
Watching red lip with lip unite ,
In loves untiriug ecstasy,
But stirred not, lest the sound alright

market, then, should the farmer uphold
and encourage? What tariff princi-

What should become of this great
home demand and remunerative
market should the Mills bill be-

and shrink amazingly. while millions
of idle mill operatives would be driven
to the farms. Imagine the number of
farmers doubled and the home market
shrunk to one-half or onefourth its

ly Vote for Them.
The real question Tin the present
campaign) turns upon the struggle OF
protection to American industry, as
against the principles of free trade as
advocated by the Golden Club, of En-
gland. 1t has fallen to the lot Of
America to adopt a tariff for the pro-
lection of American manufacturers
against ruinous competition of foreign
labor, and the working of the ex-
pertinent is the best argument in
favor of the continuance. Since
the war America has witnessed al
most unexampled prosperity. There
could be no better illustration of the
advantages OF the tariff system than q
comparison of the wages paid in Eu-
rope and America. As a Nation we
have had broad and ample expert
ence of a tariff system on our indus
trial prosperity, and we are now sum-
moned by Grover Cleveland to listen
to the siren voice of the manufacturers
of Great Britain. With the exception
of a certain class of humanitarians.
who conceive it their duty to wage
war in favor of the working-men across
the Atlantic. We know of no class of
men, except Grover Cleveland and his
Cabinet, who wish to see America
adopt a free-trade policy.
We have dwelt upon the convention
and its candidates so long that we
have left ourselves little space foe
urging upon our Irish-American
friends their duty in the coming cam
paign. We will say to them as Amer
leans, as freemen, that the time has
arrived when all divisions and ami
mosities should cease. in order to res
cue this glorious land from hateful
Anglo-maniac domination. We hope
that Irish-Americans will discard all
past alliances, put aside all present
fears and dread no future coalitions,
in the single hope of carrying to
speedy victory a banner inscribed with
these devices: Harrison and Nor
