A Strange Fish.

The receeding tide left a fish en-
tangled in the weeds at the head of
Cache slough, at Dixon, CAL, one day
last week, and it was captured, but the
most experienced fishermen in this
vicinity cannot say positively to what
species it belongs.
1t was apparently young ish and
weighed eight or nine pounds. The
muzzle projected over the mouth, the
nostrils were situated on the underside
OF the muzzle, the gill openings were
lateral-in fact, so much OF its descrip-
tion tailed exactly with that of a young
shark. 1t also has double row of teeth
and long black tongue. No one there
abouts seems to know whether or not a
shark has long tongue or ever visits
fresh water.-SaR Francisco Examiner,

American Pearls.

Not all the pearls come from the
Arabian seas or from the South Pacific
islands. A considerable supply is de.
rived from a mussel found in a number
Of American rivers. When De Soto
made his expedition westward from the
Florida coast he found that the Indians
possessed au abundance of pearls taken
out of the rivers. The Tennessee is
particularly prolific in these pearl mus
sells. They are also found in the rivers
of Texas and other States. Sugar River,
in Wisconsin, recently attracted much
attention on account of ITS pearls. AL
though most of them are white, they
are found in various colors, such as pur-
pie, pink, golden yellow, bronze, green,
gray, black and all the intermediate
shades. Some combine two colors, as a
deep metallic purple, over which plays a
lovely pink-red light that seems almost
to stand out from the surface of the
pearl. Another will be of rich gray
tint, with green reflections. Still another
is black with dark purple. In brilliancy
of lustre and fairness of texture they can
not be excellcd. In variety and richness
of coloring they surpass the Oriental
pearls. Quite a number have been sent
to Europe, where they have found a
ready market at good prices. Single
specimens have sold at $4,000 and more.
When a number of these pearls are ar
ranged together in brooch with small
diamonds to throw out their colors the
effect is superb. Something over $780,
900 worth were found on the banks of
Sugar River within the limits of one
small township last summer. - NelO

Shipowners are much concerned about
the report of General o. NJ. Poe, of the
United States Engineers, that the waters
of the great lakes are becoming lower
every year. The following figures for
five years show the gradual fall: June,
1886, Lake Huron was 5S3.13 feet
above the sea level; June, 1887, it was
5S2.3S; June, 1888, 5S1.79; June,
1889, 5s1.04; June, 1890, 5S1. OIL ;
June, 1891, $50 40. The month of June
is taken because the water is then at its
highest. In February the minimum
depth is reached, aud the shipowners ex-
pect to see many exposed places in that
month next year. They are, of course,
more troubled about the rivers empty
ing into the lakes than about those
waters themselves. The Sault Canal
now shows depth of fourteen feet
four inches only, and at Crosse Pointe,
the entrance to the Dstroit River, many
vessels have grounded this season on ae-
count of the low water. In the old days
of shallow boats aud hat-bottomed
steamers the plummet was still used, but
now that their places have been taken
by vessels with deep holds, the state OF
the water is matter of grave considera-
tion. General Poe says that the rain
fall in the lake country during the last
five years has been below the normal
and that this accounts for the low water
the lakes. The shipowners, wh'
CSC great bodies of water bl
tEeems, are hardly reassured

Gorgeous Palace Of an Empress.

The Empress Of Austria's new palace
at Corfu has cost six hundre | thousand
dollars. The bill for the wood carvings
in the Pompoian suite of seven rooms,
which is the great feature Of the house,
amounted to fifteen thousand dollars. 1t
may be hoped that the Empress will be
more satisfied with this abode than she
was with a villa she built few years
ago in the neighborhood of Vienna, for
after it was finished she took dislike to
the place, and has never lived there, al

sand dollars had been expended on the

Mummiaed Indians.

DIR. W. Morrow, of Pendleton, Ore,
gon, who is the guest Of De. CALVIN j.
Morrow, of this city, has with him a
couple OF mummifed bodies Of indians,
found by him on Long Island, an island
in the Columbia RIVER which was used
as an Indian burying ground in centu-
ries gone by. One is the body Of an aged
aborigine all twisted and gnarled. lie
was probably fifty or sixty years Of age
when he died, aud has the appearance Of
having died of starvation, which probt-
bly, accounts for the preservation. The
other is that Of a child, who was proba,
bly, about eight years Old. Physicians
who have examined the bodies cannot
account for the preservation Of the bod
les, as there is no evidence Of any attempt
at embalming, and the moccasins in
which the feet of the old Indian are en-
cased seem to have escaped the ravages
of time even better than the body

Hearing Ones Self Speak.

SIT is singular thing" says a ply
sician, ''that man does not hear his
own voice exclusively through his ears.
The prevalence of throat deafness is a
proof to the laymen of the connection
between the ears and throat, and this in
ability to hear ones self speak just as
others hear us is another instance. In
some people this pecrliarity is very
marked, and in my case, if | speak into
phonograph and let the machine grind
out the sounds again, don't recognize
the voice at all. In regard to singing,
the varying ability to hear ones self with
the ears plugged up with cotton makes
itself evident, for while one member of
chorus will only hear the blending
harmony, or discord, another will hear
little beyond his or her own voice, and
makes occasional bad breaks in conse-
quence. l know a man who used to
sing a very fair baritone, but whose voice
is now only adapted to the weakest
falsetto. Yet he doesn't realize the
change, and l believe he honestly thinks
he sings as well as ever. This apparent
impossibility may be a dispensation OF
Providence to prevent men with excep-
tionally ugly voices being driven tc
suicide. - Chicago Herald.

MARRIAGE IN JAPAN.
a Husband Who Is said to Have Divorced
Thirty-five Wives.

a Husband Who Is said to Have Divorced
Thirty-five Wives.
A native Japanese paper mentions
a case of man aged forty this year,
who has married and divorced thirty
five wives, and is now married to the
thirty-sixth. He was first married at
eighteen, and the reason assigned for
this extraordinary example of incon-
stancy is that he has younger sister Of
extremely Jealous and rancorous dispo-
sition, who. from the moment that a
bride enters the house, institutes sys-
TEN of persecution. which soon drives
the unhappy woman to ask her husband
for divorce. The husband is helpless
TO restrain the vagaries of his sister,
and can not turn her out, so the
wretched business goes on year after
year The native chron;cler adds cir
cumstance which is improbable, even In
the East He says that in two cases the
brides arriving at the door of their
future home changed color, and, declar-
ing that they recognized the house as
one in which they had already passed
some months of most miserable we'd
lock. fed without further parley.
Commenting upon the story, the
Japan Mail says that, whether accurate
in all particulars or not it illustrates
the difference between Japanese and
English fashions in respect of mar
riage. Among the lower orders in ia
pan sentiment is seldom allowed to play
ANY influential part in the arrange
ments preliminary to matrimony. In
many cases the man and woman have
never seen each other until they are
formally brought together with the OBJ
5ect of securing their consent TO become
man and wife, and it rarely happens
that either is so unpolite as to conceive
or admit any disagreeable impression
latter this interview. The higher the
social scale the more attention is paid
TO the fancies of the man. and Of late
those of the women also are beginning
TO be regarded, but the prime pie under
|aying the whole marital relation in
Japan seems to be that the affection
which really survives the passage of
gears and makes married Life happy is
not the love which erecedes union, but
the respect esteem and sense of mutual
|helpfulness that grow up after it

liminary experiment. whereas in the

The Intellectual Genius Who Looks After
Chauncey. Depew. '
Chauncey NJ. Depew has in his en-
ploy butler who is very superior
person. He is Of Swedish birth and an
cestry, a college graduate and he speaks
several languages. Coming to this
country to conquer fortune, he
found it dificglt to obtain en-
ployment for which his breeding
his education and his inclinations
fitted him. A position in an Office which
he was offered proved, from its indoor
confinement, injurious to his never over
strong constitution and he finally be-
came attached to Mr.. Depew's Office at
the Grand Central depot Shortly
after his installation there Mr.. Depew
had one of the few but serious illnesses
which have befallen him in his busy
life.
The young Swede, coming frequently
to his residence on business errands,
finally became a stationary fixture
there and his entire and untiring devo-
ton to Mr.. Depew during his illness
won the gratitude and admiration of
the great mans family. On his re-
covery Mr.. Depew, like the fairy god
mothers in the story books. asked the
faithful Swede to choose what he would
and it should be given TO him. And he
begged to be allowed to remain as but
Ter. After the amazement caused by
his request had subsidized it was grant
ed, and for many years he has been not
only trusted but an esteemed servitor
in the house of Depew.
Every few years. when he has accu-
mulated a considerable sum from his
wages, he is bitten by an ambition that
many mightier man has found fatal
