 The bet was taken, the money put up, and the greenhorn sat down to wait. At five minutes of eleven a man came in, handed him forty dol lars, expressed his thanks, and took the check and placed it in his wallet.
 "I told you he was honest" said the greenhorn as he reached for the stakes.

 "Are you & stranger in the city?" "Yes, sir"
 "Did you lend money to stranger to your"
 "I did"
 "How much?"
 "Forty dollars" "Humph! Under what circum- stances?"

 "I don't want to hear anything about Homer, nor Dante" said 8 farmer to his daughter, young lady fond of airing her knowledge "America and George Washington's good enough for me-" And he is not alone in feeling safer upon modern ground. When Anna Dickinson was featuring in the west, she found that the president of certain lyceum had some misgiviDgs in regard to the suc- cess of her lecture on Joan of Arc.
 "We don't read much in this town" he said, "and haven't no library, nor yet many books, and there ain't many of us as has more than heard of Jo- ann."
 I suggested that they should take some other lecture, that might suit them better.
 "No; you're making this every where, ain't you2 Up to Chicago, and down to St. Louis, and all round2" "Yes."
 "Well, we're going to have the first chop, whatever it is, and Jo-ann seems to fill the bill"
 In spite of that asseveration, he shook his head sadly, and at last ven- tured, "NOthing brIsk in it, eh?"
 "Rather the reverse"
 "And she lived considerable while ago-I reckon about 1916, want it2" Nearer five hundred than fifty years" explained.
 "Well, now! So long ago as that Really Welll You see, told you we're not much for reading here. Do you mind telling whether Jo-ann was English or French2 And where is Ark, anyway"
 Another long pause after answering that question, and then:
 "I sayl"
 "Well?"
 "It's just historic piece1"
 "No more"
 "Well, now," brightening, hope fully, "Don't you think you could 'liven it up by throwing in few jolly stories and some jokes, and-thst sort of thing?"
 "Have an intermission in the middle of it2 Sing 8 song3 or, perhaps, dance jig?" 1 inquired.
 The response was full of ecstasy. "Oh, if you only would, Miss Dick insonE"
 I did not, and was never bidden back to the town.

REMARKABLE FISHES.
The Curious Habits of tho Little Nest
iuilding stlckIebscks-


Among tho ''Odd Fishes" described by
Rev j. q. Wood in the Chautauquan are
the lying fishes, nest builders, the ana
logues of m2rsupials among mammals, and
those furnished with remarkable offensive
and defensive weapons. The following Is
AL account Of the curious habits OF the
thrce-spined stickleback, one Of the nest
builders: AS soon as the spring has fairly
set in, the male stickleDack lays aside the
somber brown and gray ia which he IS clad
for tne greater part Of the year, and, like
the male humming- bird, glows with green
and scarlet, even his eyes becoming green
After building barrel-shaped nest of
vegetable fiber, he ''fetches "a female, and
alter a iudlciOus mixture of coaXing and
bullying, induces her 10 enter the nest,
which is much shorter than her body Con-
seguently, when she has taken up her posi-
ton within il, her head projects from one
end and her tail from the other Her eggs
being very large in proportion to the size Of
the fish, there can be but few Of them, and
she does not occupy much time in deposit
ing them, especially as she merely allows
them 10 fall loosely into the nest. As
she is now of no further use, her husband
elects her, enters the nest himself, takes
the eggs in his mouth and arranges them
carefully in the form of u disc. He tnen
goes of, fetches another mate and installs
her in the place of her predecessor, repeat
iug the process until he thinks that the sup
PLY of eggs is sufficient. he then closes
both ends of the nest, takes UP his position
above il, and mounts guard For at least .
month does the little fish keep his faithful
watch, and during the whole OF that time 1t
Is impossible that he can sleep, while he can
eat nothing except the small PARTICLES Of
food that may happen 10 float within his
reach. At the expiration of this period the
young are hatched-tiny beings, with trans
parent bodies, and s'lrcely perceptsbie ex-
cept for the dark dots Of eyes Sometimes
il happens that a yenturesome boy or girl
breaks bounds without permission. In this
case the angry father dashes after the de
HnQuent, catches il in his mouth, carries il
back, and literally spits it into the nest,
where he keeps it imprisoned for time.
When the young are strong enough 10 shift
for themselves, an event which takes place
In about six weeks, he relinquishes his post,
and simultaneously loses his beautiful col
ors. which he wl.l not regain until the fol-
lowing SPRING
