ing by Justice Stilsing for obstructing

Fifth streets, was arraigned before JUS

Peckham opened her dpslairs caseinen'

Louisa had never been "lerenadea
before. She thought it was like page
out of the ''Arabian Nights
And honest Martin did not regret his
hospitality to the poor, tired organ
grinder who, with his monkey, lay
coiled up, fast asleep, on the hay in the
barn-loft at Paley Farm.
But Matty Halls 'stcady company
did not come back to her. She could
not imagine why, when she dressed her
self evening after evening, and sat IN
the best room by the big lamp with the
silk shade, nobody rewar led her per-
sistcncy.
And one afternoon Mrs. Peckham
came over with a j,r of More lla cherries
which she had 49, pre- served.

she. "Here's one of our'n. Blythe
way, Lousy was married yesterday"
"Marriedr' echoe Mrs. Hall.
"Ycs-quite quiet-like, said the
grandmother. ITO Mlr.in Paley."
Mrs. Hall turned dull tallowy
white. She could hardly bo.ieve heI
ears.
And all the time Mrrtin Paley was
saying to himself:
Haven't had lucky e5cap, from
marrying a woman with temper like
that!'
There are some mysteries which will
remain forever unsolvel; AMI to the
day of her death Matilda Hall will
probably never know how it was tha

To Prevent Mosnnito Bites.

Boil quart of tar uatil it becomes
quite thin, remove the clpthing; ara be-
fore the tar becomes perfectly cool, with
a broad, fla brush, apply smooth coat
ing to the entire surface of the body and
limbs. While the tar remains soft the
insects may become entangled in its
treacher Gus folds, thus becoming per-
fectly harmless; but it will soon form a
hard, smooth coating over the entire
body, entirely impervious to their bites.
Should it crack at the knee or elbow
joints, it is only necessary to retouch
the fractured spots. The whole coat
should be renewed every four weeks.

A while ago an African chief was
making silver watch case do duty as a

his neck as his chief ornament the eilded

Facts About Fish.

The light has great deal TO do with
the color of fish. Small-mouthed black
bass caught out of holes six or eight
feet deep are dark in color. On beng
place in the aquarium they change to
a light mottlcd green. The channel
catfish, contrary as usual, come out Of
the river pale grcenish blue. After
they have been exposed to tho light of
the aquarium they turn to the color of
blue black velvet. The famed fish Of
the Mammoth Cave show every indica-
ticn Of being catfish for generations re-
moved from all light They have no
color at all shs;r bnssss bcinns.
