the younger of the two, who was
not moro than II, 1--WE saw you play
last night, and came TO form your ac-

his lecture, and it is pretty certain tho
girls will not soon forget his words.
After reminding them of their indoscrc.

parents do tho deed, rs they consider
that man who is not smart enough to

Salt and Fresh Wnter.

When frcsh water is introduced into
salt water aquarium it will remain on
the surface, unless tho whole is thor

water of rivers is not thoroughly
mixed with the salt water of bays,
but flows off on tho surface, and only
at considerable distance or after long
