A Chinese fish constructs a nest, not
of grass or seaweed, but Of frothy Sc
cretions. The male prepares bubbles
in the air by sucking them in and
strengthening them with mucous mat
ter from his mouth. Then he brings
them into the water, and expels them
to construct a nest. The female enters
this cavity, and lays her eggs there.
The eggs sink to the bottom Of the
water, and the male is then obliged 70
raise them into the nest. He appears
to be unable TO carry them in his
mouth, so he swallows a large supply
of air, descends beneath the eggs, and
violently expels the air accumulated.
This air, finely divided by the fringes
of the gills, escapes in the form of two
jets of gaseous powder, which ~envelop
the eggs and raise them TO the surface.

A special to The New York World
from Helena, Ark, dated April "a, says:
John r. Mcclure, of Modoc Landing,
says that during the high water he has
been compelled to fell trees in order that
his COWS might sustain life by browsing
on the green leaves. The animals were
always hungry and he had great trouble
in driving them away to keep the oaks
from falling on them. Two days ago
there was a thunder storm and before it
began to rain there was a clap of thunder
that sounded exactly like n tree falling.
Mr.. McGuire's entire herd of cows rush
ed frantically towards the spot where it
seemed the tree had fallen. Another and
another clap followed in rapid succession
and all of the cattle put to the hill coun-
try, where they supposed trees were be
ing cut down. Not one of them has beer
seen since.

A novel fad has recently taken pos
session of the Yale juniors, and is caus-
ing much amusement about the college.
Every afternoon and evening the mem
bers of the three upper classes gather
round their respective portions of the
new fence in front of Durfee and as a
new man strolls up to join a group of
classmates he is suddenly bounced upon.
his vest is u~nbuttoned, and in spite of
his struggles the tab on the bottom of
his shirt bosom is cut off. This trophy
is then tucked up on an elm, where are
some fifty or more similar ones. The
custom is peculiarly a junior one, and
the members of the other classes look on
and cheer while the struggle is in pro
gress. AS many of the tabs so taken
have the owners initials embroidered
upon them they are easily recognized rs
they hang upon the elm, and among
them can be seen the tabs one belonging

The Sma-Hassen tower at Rabat, AT

though in parts unfinished and dam
aged by lightning is still lordly and
beautiful. Built of hewn tone
brought from Spain and by the hands
of Christian captives, and $50 feet
from base to summit, 1t presents on
the outside three tiers of large and ele-
CANT arches over comparatively small
windows, and above the topmost arch
a deep honey comb of exquisite AIRY
ing. 1t has a simple grandeur of pro
portion that is peculiarly its own and
very impressive. The ascent Of the
tower is made, not by stairs, but by a
series of inclined planes, up which a
horse might be ridden three horses
abreast, as Leo Africanus asserts.
The lowest OF these inclined planes,
which are made of a concrete Of lime

stone chambers, chill, solemn and ten
a~ntless, except by owls and bats, are
passed, and when the top is reached a
magnificent view is obtained of the
restless Atlantic. The tower is not
merely a stately sentinel Of the great
mosque, but a lookout station and a
beacon for ships at sea. An idea of its
greatness may be derived from the di-
mansions Of the great underground

for time a meteor of the Denver
newspaper world, has passed on to
the life beyond. He was a Young

some new house fitted and furnished,
even to servants, with breakfast on
the table, ready for them-the gift of
friends and admirers. The habit of
drink was so strong upon the husband
it could not be shaken off. Into the
home came trouble, unhappiness. His
lovely wife bore him two children and
died. The life he led unseated his
health and reason, and at last he died.
Every one who ever treated him to

An Unsafe Influence.

Just two days ago we have heard a
lad, smartly up in his teens, say that
he liked certain Little Rock preacher
because he drank wine and went to
tbeaters. We were shocked at the
statement, and wondered if that
minister realizes the great waves of
influence that he, by his irregular
habits is setting in motion, to be felt
throughout the eternal ages? We
wondered, too, if the people with
whom he stands identified appreciate
the burden they are attempting to
carry? No Christian, much less the
preacher, can afford to do that which
will make his brother feel offended.
Let every preacher in Little Rock ask
the solemn question lis it II" and'if
guilty, at once face about; else doff
the ministerial role. 1t is claimed
that Christ made wine and drank it
too. Possibly, but the snakes didn't
trouble him; the modern day preacher
can't insure against them. Spur
geon says, "Grape-juice has killed
more men than grape-shot."

DEAR SIsTER-On the 18th of July
Elder Bennett preached to an atten-
tive audience upon "The Evils of In
temperance" He quoted various
passages Of Scripture in support of
his subject, and clearly set forth the
great influence of the moderate
drinker over the youth of the land,
while the drunkard was looked upon
with disgust He proved concluSively
that the only way to obey the Scrip
tural injunction "Avoid the very APP
pearance of evil" was by not touch
ing intoxicants.
He brought forward statistics to
show how much rum cost the country
in dollars and cents, but defed the
shrewdest accountant TO estimate the
cost in misery and woe, degradation
and disgrace. He drew sickening
picture of the rum-blight as it settled
like pail upon each house that it en-
tered.
Rev. Bennett says he has just begun
along this line of work. May he per-
severe and be followed by many other
consecrated ministers, whose solemn
warnings shall sink deep into honest
hearts, and bring forth glorious
harvest. Let the good work go on
until church-goers shall be able to
reach the sanctuary without walking
