The Aquarium's "Happy Family"

In my largest aquarium five gold and
silver fish, several sinners, three minute
bullheads and few tiny rock bass, found
at the bottom of deep well, dwelt ami
cably together. Two small turtles and
three varieties Of snail kept them COM
pany. All went merry as a marriage
bell until introduced stickleback to
the assembled crowd. This wee monster
proved the quintessence of malicious in
dustry, nibbling the fins and tails of my
choicest fish into an uneven fringe in an
incredibly short time.
The brilliant, apaline coloring of the
sunfish makes them specially attractive,
but these ferocious creatures must have
a tank to themselves. My fish came in
time to know me, and although nearly
all were shy of strangers, at tap of my
fingers on the glass they would sally from
their hiding places and cluster together.
Sometimes fancied that even the snails
recognized me; be that as it may, the
intelligence of my hardshell turtles was
all undoubted fact. One of them would
manage by adroit climbing to somersault
himself out of the aquarium on to the
floor, where he strayed contentedly about,
until certain member of the family en-
tering he would follow him from room
to room. wherever he went. Six soft
shell turtles from the Mississippi banks
had special quarters of their own, and as
genuine curiosities, were often the OBJ
served of all observers. Journal

The Output of our Mines.

It is very imposing showing that the
bureau of mining statistics makes in its
report of the production of metals in the
United States for 1887. The aggregate
value of the output of our mines is set
down at $538,056, 345-figures whose
significance can only be fully grasped by
comparing them with values in other de-
partments of production. It is difficult
to estimate the amount of labor that
went to the making of this enormous
total. The census of 1880 ranked as
miners some 234, 1888 persons, not includ-
ing 7,S40 oil well operators, and not
counting at all those engaged IN the care
of mining machinery. It would prob
ably be safe to put at $50, 900 the number
Of those who are now directly engaged
in all departments of mining industry,
and such calculation may at least serve
as basis for determining the productive
value Of the army of laborers thus en-
ployed.-The Epoch.

Evils of Chewing Gum.

A physician tells me that chewing gum
is practice in which grown people should
not indulge and which parents should not
tolerate in children. ''Is it worse than
chewing tobacco?' asked. "a thou
sand times,'' was the reply. ga girl
will do enough chewing on cent g
worth of gum to masticate her food for a
whole week. The hinges of the jaw are
made for the ordinary work of an ordi-
nary life and they won't stand any more.
Chewing gum is something like drinking
whisky-one nip calls for another and
one craunch begets another. 1t excites
the nerves which lie about the jaws to a
kind of perpetual motion, which doesn't
cease until their strength is exhausted.
We haven't been chewing quite long
enough to see its i'll effect, but our
jaws are made like the jaws of other peo-
pie, and we might learn true and use
full lesson from history. Chicago Tri-

The navies of the world have been for
years past in transition stage-in fact,
ever since the introduction of armor
plating for ships of war, which necessi-
tated the manufacture and use on board
ship of heavier guns, which have since
been competing with the thickness of
armor until it seems probable that the
extreme limit has been well nigh reached
in either case, the ideal man-ofwar has
been sought for the continual change and
improvement; but on looking into the
future, nothing but further change can
be seen ahead. 1t is, therefore, essential
to find out, as far as possible, which Of
our various types of ships best fulfills the
requirements expected of Them.
The true solution of this question, and
OF many others waiting to be solved, con-
spicuous among them being the question,
"What is the value of the torpedo as an
offensive and defensive weapon2" will
have to stand over till after the next
great naval war. The wars of late years
have not helped us much. The Ameri-
can civil war developed the defensive tor
pedo to stage beyond which it has not
since made much advance; but from
the Franco-German and Russo Turkish
wars but little was learned, beyond the
undoubtedly great value of torpedoes for
purposes of defense, in each case the
stronger fleet being rendered innocuous
by their use. But such questions as
"The best way to defend large ocean
trade from attack by cruisers?' which to
England is of vital importance, remain
as obscure as ever.-Blackwood's Maya

A writer in The Chicago News gives

q love for recreation of choice sort. but
a sanitary common sense A number of
swings were suspended at a summer
home for children; and near by were slunp
two dozen hammecks. The latter were
almost always full, but the swings rarely
were IN use. The hammock is the most
natural invention to give perfect rest and
ease to the whole body, with delicious
sense OF motion and activity. Every

swung under trees, for the use Of both
adults and children. 1t win tend greatly

Bonds of Lesser Denomination.

The denominations and the distribution
of railway bonds deserve criticism. Ordi-
narily the denominations are $500 and
$1,000, but $4,000 bonds are not I'm
common and some are issued for $780,
900. These denominations hinder the
wide distribution of the securities among
the people, because they are too large to
secure purchasers among persons of
moderate means. Only the rich can
afford $500 or 81 900 Investments; many
people of less means would gladly invest
in safe railway securities of $50 or 800
denominations.
To reduce the denominations of rail-
way bonds would enlarge materially the
home market for them. 1t would give
the railways a larger constituency of in
terested investors in the territories they
serve, a constituency competent to
restrain in marked degree the excuses
of i'll considered hostile railway legisla-
ton, and to contribute in many ways to
railway stability and prosperity. It is
pertinent to inquire who is likely to be
able most intelligently and effectively to
participate in adjusting fairly the fire.

few hundreds in securities of the roads

Expensive Funerals and Monuments.

Is it not about time that the societies
and other efforts put forth to reform
funerals and reduce the expenses of
burials, included the conceited display of
monuments2 People never heard of be-
yond their street have the resting places
Of their bodies marked by stones that
cost anywhere from $1,000 to $40, 1000.
This cannot be the result of family affec-
ton, but is more likely to be family
pride. There is but one possible advan-
tage of such display-that is the creation
of snowy and interesting cemeteries.
But people of sound sense are, nowadays,
ordering that they themselves be buried
without display and their graves marked
in the simplest manner. The amount Of
wealth already unnecessarily stored in
our cemeteries is high among the tens Of
millions, or even hundreds of millions.
The mausoleums of the dead were in
primitive times the earthly homes of the
spirits Of the Departed; but we have no
longer this excuse for unlimited expense.

Sheep shearine by Machinery.

The process of sheep shearing by ma
chinery is now performed in Australia by
an ingenious kind Of device, the results,
as represented, being very satisfactory.
The apparatus in question Is a very
simple one, being made on the same
principle as the cutter of mower or
reaper. and the knives are worked by
means Of rods within the handles, these
in their turn being moved by a core
within a long flexible tube, which is kept
in rotary shaft, and wheels driven by a
stationary engine. The comb is in the
form of segment Of a circle, about
three inches in diameter, with eleven
conical shaped teeth. Each machine is
worked by shearer, and as the comb is
forced along the skin of the animal the
fleece is cut. The machine can be run
either with steam or gas engine, or by
ordinary horse power, and does not easily
get out Of order.-New York Sun.

The tale is to the effect that DR.. Oliver
Wendell Holmes and the venerable DR..
Peabody, Of Cambridge, once had an ap-
pointmeat to see O statue Of Eurydice.
DR.. Holmes arrived first, and when few
moments later his friend drove up In q
cab, no greeted him with the very OBJ
vious pun:
'.Ah, you rid, I see."
DIR. Peabody was wonderfully pleased
with this sally, end on his return home
attempted 20 repeat it for the benefit Of
his family.
''Dr. Holmes was extremely witty this
afternoon" he said. 1--WE went to see
the Eurydicc, and when I drove up lie
said just as quick as fash, .Ah, doctor,
] see you camo in o buggy"

Preparation of Fruit Syrups.

Everybody knows, says M. Manche, in
The Archives de Pharmacie, that syrups
prepared from the fresh fruit juices are
far preferable to any others; but that
these syrups in their fresh state contain
a large amount of carbonic acid is usu-
ally forgotten. When the process usu-
ally in vogue is followed, and sugar is
added to the juices in the cold, liquid
is obtained which soon becomes 90 dense
that the acid finds it difficult TO make its
escape when heat is subsequently ap-
piled, and the consequence is foaming,
and sometimes partial caramelizing of
the sugar, from the fact that the syrup
makes o denser layer at the bottom while
the lighter juice is forming on top. To
avoid all this, M. Manche recommends
that tho juice be boiled before any sugar
is added, replacing loss from evaporation
by distilled water. The result is said to
be better in every ay.-Scientiac Amer
