How the Sight of Lemons Demoralized

"Did you ever try the plan of sucking
an orange or lemon before band that
was playing?" asked a theatrical man
of reporter of the Pittsburgh Dis
patch. "Well, If you want to see set
of performers go to pieces, try it some
time. 1 had heard of the trick, but
never believed it would have such an
effect. Not long ago was in small
town in the west. The village band
was serenading newly married
couple, when thought of the trick.
had supplied several boys with lem
ons, and instructed them to suck the
fruit where the players could see them.
''The effect was very laughable. The
man with the brass horn caught the
first sight. His mouth commenced to
twitch nervously, then his dry throat
suddenly expressed desire for lemon
juice, and between it all he lost his
place and quit playing. Other players
had the same experience, and they
couldn't blow together to save their
lives. The boys were clean off and the
music was recommended. have been
told by several band men that lemon
sucked where they can see it while play
ing is very exasperating, as the blowing
makes their lips dry and lemon would
afford them great relief"

Only One or Two Lively Incidents in the
Dublin Convention.
DUBLIN, July M.-The feature of the
Parnell convention, which opened in this
city, was the large attendance of ladies,
who crowded the galleries, and the sxu-
berance of their enthusiasm. Every ut
terance of Mr.. Parnel1 WAS cheered by
them, and the running fire Of common t
kept up by them attested the efficacy Of
his marriage as a factor in re-establish-
ing his popularity, at least with the
women.
The days session was devoid of especial
interest, and with the exception of few
desultory verbal battles and one or two
quickly suppressed disturbances it would
have been positively tame. One of the
delegates in the heat of discussion called
Mr.. Harm gton "Pasha," in resentment
of his arbitrary tactics, whereupon the
delegate was grabbed and incontinently
hustled into the street.
Several other disturbers later essayed
to inject an element of nveliness into the
proceedings, but they, too, were cast out
amid the applause Of the occupants of
the galleries.

STRANGE INCARNATION.
The Queer Way in Which Some
Fishes Pass the Winter
Interesting Observations of q Stuuent of
PlScIculture-Some Remarkable
Phases of Submarine
life.

We have heard Of toads that have
been imprisoned in solid rock for CEN
turtles and that were found alive when
their abiding place was cleft open.
This reminds me Of things have OBJ
served about certain fishes in winter,
says a writer In Harper's Young Peo-
pie. A large number of fishes, some of
them living in deep ponds, brooks, or
out in silent hooks of the sea, will re-
main for four, five, or even six months
in the same position without eating or
so much as moving fin or tail.
In the government fish hatchery, I'M
der the management of Mr.. Wilmott,
superintendent of piseiculture for the
Dominion of Canada, at New Castle,
Ont, had much opportunity to study
certain fishes in winter, for they could
be clearly seen through the glass sides
of the tank. In one tank, about one
third of the way up from tho bottom,
were half dozen German carp, all
facing the direction from which the
water flowed. noticed their positions
about Christmas, saw them again in
January, twice in February and two or
three times in March, and in all that
time not one of them had changed it's
Mr.. Wilmott told me that this is quite
usual among these fishes He per-
mitted me to raise the cover of the tank
and poke a couple of them with my
stick. Each one made slow, lazy
movement and relapsed into Stiffness
Just above the carp, in the same tank,
was an eel about three feet long. When
first saw it in December it was curved
like perfect S, and all through the
winter it preserved that shape without,
so far as Mr.. Wilmott knew, once NOV
ing.
This, may add, is how many kinds of
fishes spend the winter. So long as
they remain perfectly still there is no
waste of animal tissue, and they do not
need food. Put frog in tank at the
beginning of the winter, then place a
small piece of wood in the tank; the
frog will get upon the wood, with his
eyes looking straight up, and never so
much as move until the weather begins
to get warm in the spring; he will then
begin to jump about and look for some
thing to eat.
But the strangest case of Information
that know has been related to me by
DR.. Ferguson, the pathologist of New
York hospital In one of the small
tanks belonging to the hospital museum
carp of particular description had
been placed. One very cold night the
water where the fish was kept was
frozen through and the fish imbedded
in it. The caretaker took the ice from
the vessel and placed it on top of the
ash-barrel where rubbish was put away.
The cylinder of ice remained where it
was put for about two months till the
hot spring sun one day melted it down
to the place where the fish was frozen.
Some attache of the hospital then was
surprised to notice fish wrig-
Cling in a piece of ice. The carp had
survived the imprisonment, passed the
period of Information, and resumed his
old activity.

The Feeling Against Pugilist Hall is vezJ
Bitter.
ST PAUL, Mimi, July 24-Local sport
ing men say there was no good reason
why Hall and Fitzsimmons should not
have been brought together either in
Minneapolis or across the border lire. Tho
feeling against Hall increases in intensity
AID the epithets applied to him by many
of his former admirers have been the re-
verse Of complimentary.
Fitzsimmons is just as sore as ever,
while Parson Davies, who could have
gotten the men together and had the
fight over by midnight had, he been SO
inclined, makes bluff by saying that he
will keep Hall in condition for a few
days in the hope that there may yet be
a meeting.
The money received from the sale OF
tickets has been refunded, and during the
day Fitzsimmons and HaN each re-
ceived a check for 81, 500 from the Mime
sofa Athletic Club as an honorarium in
part recompense of their outlay in train
ing. The total loss to the club will not
be less than $4,000 In is given out that
all the officers will resign in short order
and that the organization will, in all
probability, be disbanded.
The Granite Club of Hoboken, N. j., and
the California Athletic Club have both
telegraphed their willingness to put up e
purse for Fitzsimmons and Hall.

THE other night Professor J. L. Ray
of Ashland, Virginia, saw something
while looking at the moon Though his
big telescope. He saw hugh sheets of
something, seemingly water, hurled a
thousand miles Through the luna
rian atmosphere" He saw several
hugh lunar mountains sink and disap-
pear. He saw our SATELLITE sway to and
fro. He gazed on the lawful spectacle"
for hours. 1t filled him with the Sin
tensest awe" He is convinced that the
CONFUSION, whatever it may have been,
threw the moon "several degrees out of
her course" and that she is now (say)
10000 miles nearer to us than she was
before. He doesn't know what is going
to happen, but suggests that pei haps the
harmonious balance of forces" has
been destroyed and the moon may
presently, in the near future, be at
tracted to, and incorporated in, this
planet.

in New York city is under public in
spection just now. A couple married
fifty years and moving in the best
sphere, is on the eve of proceedings for
divorce, of which the husbands ungov-
ernable temper and intolerable cruelty
in the private family circle are alleged
as the cause. For years the peace and
happiness of the home existence have
been sacrificed to the shallow demands
of social standing, and the end of all
this folly of lifetime forms a melan-
