Hook Titles Formerly aud Now.

Brevity nowadays seems to be neces-
sary for good title for Il book, and
herein lies one striking difference be-
tween modern one syllable titles and
those of couple of hundred years

Cromwell: "a Reaping Hook well
tempered for the stubborn Ears of the
coming Crop, or Biscuits baked i'll the
Oven of Charity, carefully conserved
for the Chickens of the Church, the
Sparrows of the Spirit, and the sweet
Swallows of Salvation;" "a Pair of

was published "HGc ct Hic; or, the

The Speed of Fishes.

The speed of fishes is almost an un-
known quantity, being, as Professor
G.. Brown Goode, of the United States
fish commission, says, very difficult to
measure. IF you could get fish, !"
said Professor Goode, land put him in
a trough of water 1000 feet long and
start him at one end and make him
swim to the other without stopping,
the information could be easily OBJ
tanned, but fish are unintelligent and
they won't do this. Estimates of the
speed Of fish consequently are only APP
proximated, and more or less founded
on guessing. You can tell, at IA glance
whether a fish is built for speed or
not A fast fish looks trim and point
ed, like q yacht. Its head is conical
shaped, and its fins fit down close to
its body, like q knife blade into its
handle. Fish with large heads, bigger
than their bodies, and with short,
stubby fins are, of course, built for
slow motion"
"What are the fastest tishes?"
1.-The predatory fish, those which
live on prey, are the fastest swimmers.
The food fishes arc generally among
the slowest and are consequently east
ly captured. Their loss is recon-
pensed, however, by the natural law,
which makes them very prolific in re-
production. Dolphins have been
known to swim around an ocean
steamer, and it is quite safe to say
that their speed is twenty miles an
hour, but it may be twice as much.
The bonito is fast swimming fish.
Just what his speed is do not know.
The head of the goose fish is very
largc-twenty times as big as its body.
1t moves about very little, and swims
at the bottom of the ocean. The Span
ish mackeiel is one of the fastest Of
the food fishes. Its body is cone
shaped and smooth as FURNISHED
metal. It's speed is us matchless as
tie dolphin, and in motion it cuts the
water like a yacht. Washington
