1t is not generally known that when q
person commits suicide in hotel, the
number of the room in which he ends his
life is henceforth dead and another one
takes its place.
Recently middle-aged man stopped
upthe cracks in room rs at the Occidental
Hotel and turned on the gas.
In the newspapers accountso of the affair,
some stated that he died in room 76 and
others gave the credit to No.74
The doorplntc Of the first-named apart

occupant of "a was told that he would

A Lobster's New Shell.

At the most extensive aquarium in
England, the Brighton Zoo, the female
lobster recently cast her shell. She
screwed herself up together on the toes
and tail, and suddenly bent her body.
Snap went the shell in its centre, and the
case of the back came AWAY in one piece.
The claws were her next care, and she
worked away at them for long time.
Itwas proceeding of extreme delicacy.
considering that all the f ,sh of the great
claw had to be passed through the small
base. During the operation one claw
off altogether, aud this must have seemed
to the lobster lady a serious misfortune,
as it will not grow to its full size again
until the second year. The tail and legs
gave very little trouble, and the body,
when thus undressed, proved to be of a
pale blue.
The sheli-cesting over, the lobster sank
on the sand, and this action seemed .
signal for the attack of every creature
in the tank.
The defenceless victim babe fair to
succumb to the fury of her enemies, when
the male lobster suddenly came to the
rescue. Standing over his sheIl-less
better half, he fought her assailants re-
6gell 6IsgaeallfsssunRaiEIv iIv and night did he watch
hardenedto protect her in fighting her
own battles.
When this happy moment arrived, he
deliberately ,pickedup the old claw, broke
it in his nippcrs, and ate the meat. He
then dug hole in the sand, placed in it
the broken bits of shell, buried them, and
piled number of small stones above the
grave.

The Worlds Fair Will Have the
Greatest Aquarium Ever Known.

The fish exhibit at the Worlds Colum-
bian Exhibition is TO be a wonderful one,
and not the least interesting portion of
il, naturally, will be the Aquarial or Live
Fish display. This will be contained in
circular building, 1876 feet in diameter,
standing near one extremity of the main
fisheries building, and in a great curved
corridor connecting the two.
In the centre of the circular building
will be rotunda sixty feet in diameter,
in the middle of which will be basin or
pool about twenty-six feet wide, from
which will arise towering mass of rocks
covered with moss and lichens. From
clefts and crevices in the rocks crystal
streams Of water will gush and drop to
the masses of reeds, rushes and ornamen-
tai semi-aquatic plants in the basin be-
low. In this pool gorgeous gold fishes,
golden ides, golden tench and other fishes
will disport. From the rotunda one side
of the larger series of aquaria may be
viewed. These will be ten in number,
and will have capacity of seven thou
sand to twenty-seven thousand gallons of
water.
Passing out Of the rotunda by the en-
frances great corridor or gallery is
reached where on one hand can be viewed
the opposite side of the series of great
tanks and on the other line of tanks
somewhat smaller, ranging from 100 to
800 gallons each in capacity. The
corridor or gallery is about fifteen feet
wide. The entire length of the glass
fronts of the aquaria will be about 575
feet or over 1900 square feet of surface.
They will make q panorama never before
seen in any exhibition, and will rival the
great permanent aquariums of the world
net only in size but in all other respects.
The total water capacity of the aquaria,
exclusive Of reservoirs, will be 1928
cubic feet, or 10000 gallons. This
will weigh 1,192,425 pounds, or almost
600 tons. OF this amount about 10000
gallons will be devoted to the marine ex-
hibit. In the centre salt water circula-
ton, including reservoirs, there will be
about $4,000 gallons. The pumping and
distributing plant for the marine aquaria
VIII be constructed of vulcanite. The
pumps will be in duplicate, and will each
hove capacity of 1900 gallons per
hour. The supply of sea water will be
secured by evaporating the necessary
quantity at the Woods Hall station of
the United States Fish Commission to
about one-ffth its bulk, thus reducing
both quantity and weight for transporta-
ton about 80 per cent. The fresh water
required to restore it to its proper density
will be supplied from Lake Michigan. In
transporting the marine fishes to Chicago
from the coast there will also be an ad-
dition of probably 5000 gallons of pure
sea water TO the supply on each trip.

The Pug Saved the Child.

The sogacity of pug dog owned by
Mrs. Porter in Johnstown saved the life
of two-year-old child at Providence,
II. l. Mrs. Porter was at work in her
pantry and the child was playing on the
floor in another room with the dog. Sud-
denly the dog ran into the pantry and
barked and jumped about excitedly and
finally seized Mrs. Porter's dress and
drew her toward tho room where tho child
was. Mrs. Porter followed the animal
which ran to the baby, licked the child's
face, and put paw to its mouth. Mrs.
Porter saw that the child was choking,
and with sharp blow between the shoul-
ders forced the obstruction from tho
child's throat. II was a six-pointed
blackstone" made Of iron, such as chill
dren use in play. With the exception Of
the fright and the loss of q little blood

We Get the Cheap Tea.

I'll venture the statement that there is
no fine tea in the United States. What
goes to oar country is the cheap stuff used
here by the coolies and jail inmates.
When an American housekeeper pays 81
per pound for her oolong or English
breakfast, she is buying what is sold
here for % cents. No really good tea is
sold here for less than 81 per pound by
the wholesale. If laid down in the mar
ket at home it could not be sold for less
than Sl.75.
This 81 tea is the usual article for
clerks, poor tradesmen and mechanics.
For the wcll-to-sie,- .the -ofIieial- -aias-- and
nobility, are finer pickings that run from
81 to $50 per pound. The only Europ-
cans who purchase these high-priccd
leaves are the Russians and a few con-
noisseurs in France, Germany, Austria,
Spain and Turkey. The bold Briton
permits patriotism and his purse to guide
his palate, and uses the vicious vitriolic-
horrors of Ceylon and India. Good
Uncle Sam patronizes u Cheap John who
gives away to each purchaser a 81 cup
and sauces with every % cent pound of

The wheat Market Has Found ITS Nat
urnt Level.
r. G. Dan a Co.'S weekly review OF trade
says;
The speculation Ia brcadstuifs has broken
down. The threatened withdrawal OF the
wheat crop amounts 70 20 little that receipts
were il,4O0, 600 bushels for the last week
reported, against 100000 for the, corre-
spending week last year. while receipts OF
other grain slightly decreased. Crop pios-
poets are In all respects exceedingly bright
and the reports OF injury by frost do not
appear 20 affect any considerable proportion
OF the crop. There Is every reason 10 sup
pose that the yield OF wheat Will 30 much
larger than tho E4&.eoo.o00 bush els
estimated by the Agrisu1Surai Department.
though yield Nc greater would leave 2e0.-
600, ,o00 bushels for export Hog products
are somewhat stronger. Ia sympathy with
corn, but oIl Is lower and also coffee. Cot
ton has advanced three-sixtesnths. II
would be good thing for producers, in all
probability, IL a considerable part OF tho
forthcoming crop should be cut on bE sun-
favorable weather. The business failures
during the last seven days number 2zo. as
compared with n total OF 2i6 last week. For
the corresponding week OF last year tho
OQuraa were l6Q.
