Climbing Fishes.

ESa From the Philadelphia Times.
No doubt you all know that trout are
found in streams away up the sides of
mountains, but did you ever stop and
wonder how they got there? Mr..
Holder tells story in his latest book
which gives us this information: In the
village | mentioned the climbing OF the
hill by the fish to friend who owned a
mill on q mountain stream, and he told
me that the ascent was a puzzle to him
until one day his boy called him out to
the dam, where the riddle was solved.
The dam was nearly four feet high
and to relieve the stream several anger
holes had been bored in it, allowing a
small stream of water to jet forcibly out
and go splashing down into the clear
pool below.
AS he approached the spot and looked
through the bushes several large sized
trout were seen moving about under
the mimic fall. evidently in great excite
ment ard darting into it as if ENJOYING
the splash and roar of the water. Sud-
denly one of the fish made a quick
rush that sent it up the falling stream
so that it almost gained the top, but by
an unlucky turn it was caught and
thrown back into the pool, where it
darted away very much startled.
Soon another made the attempt, dart
ing at it like the first and then rapidly
swimming up the fall, but only to meet
the fate of its predecessors. This was
tried number of times, until finally a
trout larger than the others made q

Origin of a Family.

Three of the wealthiest, most power
full and famous Russian families sprang
from very humble origin, the Orloffs,
the Narischkins and the Stroganoffs.
When the Strelitzen were beheaded,
Peter the Great INDUCED himself in the
luxury of attending the execution in
person. One of the condemned about
to suffer death was a mere lad of Is,
nicknamed Orell-the eagle-and when
his turn came to walk up to the block
he did SO with the greatest unconcern,
carlessly kicking aside the head of one
of his fellow sufferers and friends, and
excla1ming coolly. "You really must
make room, old fellowp' Peter was so
taken by the lads courage and GOODNESS
that he pardoned him and put him into
the army. From this man sprang the
noble and powerful family of Orlof.

Lots OF Honest Men.
From the New YORK SIM


An official in one of the largest banks
in New York said, apropos of the de-
faulting cashiers and thieving bank
tellers
''The only wonder is that there are
not more of them. Our teller to-day
had over 81 900, 900 on his tray. In this
money there were packages OF Sic, 600
bills. He is dyspeptic and his salary
is "a 900 year. He has been in our
service for thirty years and he does not
look forward to a rapid promotion. He
could easily have distracted dozen or
two of the $4,000 packages before him,
put the money in the safe, taken the
O'Clock train tor Canada, and been safely
housed there long before the bank
opened in the regular course of bust
ness. That men do not steal oftener is
the real mystery in the discussion"

Brought Out by the Monkeys.

In school district in London there
were many parents who reported no
children in their families. In order to
find just how many children were thus
being kept from school, the school au-
thorities got two monkeys, dressed them
gayly, put them in a wagon in which
was brass band, and started through
the district. At once crowds Of children
appeared and followed the wag-
on, which drove 10 a neighbor-
ing park, when the school officers
went among the children distributing
candies and getting their names and ad-
dresses. They thus found that over
sixty parents kept their children from
school; and as a result of the monkeys,
the brass band, and the candy about
200 little boys and girls have been set
at study

There are about 10000 rum shops in
the city of New York-one to every 125

There are 100 bakers, 1900 butchers,
1000 grocers. Of these 10000 rum shops

mate gives the number of illicit shops
and places where rum-which is the
comprehensive term for drinks of all
kinds-is sold at LOCO. The statistics
show that there are 4,319 hotels of all
grades; that there are 1922 places where
ale and beer only are sold; that there
are 534 shops, drug stores and others
where liquor can be had, which. with
the estimated illicit 1000 gives total of
1905. Various shops and stores where
bread, meat and groceries can be pro-

Here. then was the explanation. The
trout climbed the mountain by swim
ming up the falls, darting up the foam
ing masses and adopting every expedi-
ent to accomplish their iourny. For
these fish deposit their eggs high up
stream, SO that the young fry, when
hatched, may not be disturbed by pred
atory fish and other foes living in the
lower water.

Are home ag' in from the schoolhouse hall
Shep don't mind kick nor cuff,
Sometimes think he's used too rough
But his old love ways they never fail,
For he turns up allus wag n his tail.

Along the Skin IT'S of the mountain WALL
An he's squar Shep is that's all.

IF WE BUT KNEW.

If when the thought of you haunts me un
sought
Comes like flash across life's commonplace
And bids me hear your voice, and see YOU
face,
And feel the gladness that your presence
brought
How strange if you, so many miles away
Should think of me, and by that thought Inn
press
Yourself upon my spirit with such stress
That you could hold my mind within your sway
In nature distance is as naught-the sun
Shines on myriad places fore the day is done.
Then may not the love-light fall on you and
me.
In the same time, wherever you may be?
If 1t were so, what happiness would repay
The thought OF one we love, but cannot see.

Fanny Mapes.
From the Chicago Horseman.

Our front page this week contains an
artistic and accurate engraving of the noted
brood mare Fanny Mapes, dam of Jerome
Eddy, 2:161S. She was f0aled in 1859, and
was bred by John w. A. Brewster, of Gosh
en-, N. Y. She passed into Mr.. Charles
Backman's Stony Ford Stud, and was pur-
chased from him by Messrs. Dewey d Stew
art, of Owosso, Mich. 1t was mere acct
dent that Messrs. Dewey & Stewart pur-
chased this great mare. Mr.. Dewey had
gone to Orange county for the purpose of
buying son of Hambletonian 10. He de-
sired that whatever horse he bought should
be from Star mare, for at that time a horse
by Hambletonan out of Star mare was
considered the acme of perfection and tho
thing most desirable in breeding. He
found horses bred in this way were priced
far beyond his means. Mr.. Backman rec
commended to him young horse by volun-
teer, dam by Harry Clay. The breeding
was not quite so fashionable as Mr.. Dewey
desired, but he was good individual and
would do very well to go to Michigan. Mr..
Dewey also desired to purchase one or two
brood mares at reasonable price, and Mr..
Backman showed him mare which was In
foafto Messenger Duroc, which he priced
at 5000. The horse and marc were both
bought and taken to Michigan. The horse
was Louis Napoleon and tho mare was
Fanny Mapes. The mare was not at once
removed from Stony Ford, as In the condi-
tons of the purchase 1t was stipulated that
she should be left at Stony Ford until she
should have foaled her Messenger Duroc
colt, and should be bred to any horse Mr..
Dewey should select except Messenger
Duroc. At the proper time she foaled a bay
horse colt, and after due consideration Mr..

IL Judge Hooker were as thoroughly

his ability as a lawyer; his successful career
as judge-his scholarship, his determine
ton to be ut all times just, his decision and
his courteous manner toward all--have
made for him warm place in the hearts of
the people of this district, and accounts for
the fact that those who know him best
and they comprise many Of the leading at
torneys of Michigan-are warmest in their
support Of Judge Hooker's candidacy for
the supreme bench, and most certain that
he would make a supreme court justice who
would prove eminently satisfactory. We
