Evolution OF an Air Fish.

Henrik Dahl. of Aalesund. was reader
and follower OF Darwin. Wishing to apply
his theory of the limit of adaptability of a
species to its environment, he procured a
herring from 8 neighboring ford and car.
ried it home in tub of sea water. He re-
newed the water daily for some time. and
gradually reduced the quantity. with so 1T
tie inconvence to the herring tina. he con-
cluded that the fish might. IN time. learn
to breathe air undiluted With water. like the
cat and man. 1t turned on. as he expected,
and the water was finally turned out of the
tub. never to be replaced. Henrik next re-
moved the fish from its tub and placed il
ON the ground. where it topped about very
awkwardly at first. but soon learned TO
move freely and rapidly. In little while
the herring was able to follow its master
without difficulty. and then it became his
constant companion about the streets OF
the CITY. On q certain unfortunate day
Henrik had occasion to cross diiapidated
bridge which spanned an arm OF the harbor.
The herring coming gracefully along. heed

especial fondness. missed its footing

GIving Canes share,

The cultivation Of walking sticlrs for
the market has been taken up as busi-
ness at some places in continental Europe,
andspecial attention is often paid to max
ing the roots grow into shapely forms for
the handles. A London manufacturing
establishment, the floor space Of which
covers nearly an acre, has extensive
storehouses filed with native and foreign
sticks, from which stock is drawn as Il
Is wanted from the shops
The sticks as they grow are often very
crooked and have TO be Strengthened. A
heap Of sand is provided on the top Of {
hot stove, into which the sticks an
plunged until they become pliabls.
The workman takes the crooked stich
while it Is still hot and inserts it In {
notch cut in a stout board, placed ct n
angle inclined from him, where he bendi
and strains It. Whom it has become per
fectly straight il Is thrown down K
cool, after which Il becomes rigid and
permanent in its lines. Heat Is an Inn
portant element in this matter and pro
duces different effects on the ssVcra
kinds Of wood, the degree Of heat neees
sary to straighten one kind Of stick beinS
often sufficient to spoil another kind.
The same power which makes 1
crooked stick straight IL applied to maxi
q straight one crooked; so we find tina
the rigid stems of bamboos, partridg'
canes, and all the various kinda Of stick
that are required to be curled or twisted
are by the application Of heat made b

1t may sound awful 20 say 90. but do
you know ] think that men ought to
wear oofaets2 Not steels, stir whale
bones and strong lacings and al that,
but something to remind them that nat
ure intended them to stand straight, and
that they should lay claim to a sugges-
tion Of a waistline. When a man gets
10 be 80 or a little more he goes all to
pieces in LOOKS, unless he is made Of un-
common metal. At 80 a man is married
or gives up the idea. Whatever his con-
dition, his main object in life is to take
comfort. He takes comfort.
In q year or two his shoulders, that
were firm and square, take on a pathetic
droop. The coat that was buttoned mp
with 80 much pride and showed off the
symmetrical back and waist in such fine
lines is apt to swing open, the smooth
front becomes a wrinlled nonentity, and
that waist line, that was so symmetrical,
is lost in what is called stomach"
know some men take great pride in that
comfortable looking stomach. 1t does
show that life is worth the living, but it
also proves that man is getting on in
years, and each year adds several inches
to the waist measure, and--and-it isn't
graceful if it is comfortable.
Now, a corset or band, say eight OF
ten inches wide, made with heavy cords
stitched in sohdly to give frmness, in
the front several pieces Of silk elastic
tape and the back provided with buckles
and straps, would not be uncomfortable
to wear and would be a support for the
stomach that cannot stand too much
comfort without sacrifice of symmetry
and grace. Chicago Herald.

peuble sa.he. for Rallwar oars

In consequenceof the decided addition
to the comfort of travellers of double
sashes in passenger cars by reason of the
prevention of the admission of cold air
in winter and dust in summer several
railway companies have decided to use
double windows altogether in the future,
and this conclusion has probably been
hastened by the fact that many of their
best day coaches and chair cars rival
special cars in the richness of their
plushes and interior decorations, and
they cannot afford to have such fittings
rapidly destroyed by the dust.
The comparative ease with which a
car fitted with double windows can be
heated In winter is also consideration.
They not only prevent cold air leaking
in where 1t is not wanted, but they also
interpose layer of comparatively still
air between the warm air in the car and
the cold atmosphere outside, thereby
preventing the loss of considerable heat
by conduction and convection.-New
