A Wcrd About the Neglige Costume

If the outing young nal be wise he
will not wear q waistcoat when he as
su1nes either a sash or waistbelt. The
waistcoat is decidedly a dressified APP
p~urtenance of attire, while the sash and
waistbelt belong to the vocabulary Of
neglige. He should be reminded of the
fate of the parsonage that tried to ride
two horses at eHce.
And yet this solecism is being continu-
ally committed by misguided youths.
The effect of the sash when worn with
the frock coat is an uncongenial one.
The youth that paraded Fulton street,
Brooklyn, a few nights ago attired in a
two-color sash, a cutaway coat, white
dress shirt, puff scarf and black high
hat was apparently upon excellent terms
with himself, but in reality about as far
out of it" as the man that fell from the
balloon.-Clothier and Furnisher.

Fish That Shoot Flies.

There is a curious fish Of the Indian
ocean, to which, although it has long
been known to naturaliots, attention has
recently been called on account Of some
new observations Of its peculiarities. It
is fiat and chubby, not unlike the ordi.
nary sunfsh, and seldom exceeds seven
or eight inches in length.
1t is furnished with a short snout OF
muzzle, which, as we shall see, serves
very much the purpose of a sportsman's
gun. It is fond Of insects, and its
method Of capturing them has suggested
it's name Of the archer.
Swimming close beneath the surface
it watches the brilliant flies fitting
above, and, having selected one to its
fancy, suddenly thrusts its muzzle out,
and with almost unerring marksman-
ship discharges several drops of water
at its victim.
Confused by the watery projectiles,
and with its wings ~entangled and rem,
dered temporarily useless, the insect falls
upon the surface of the sea, and is i'm
mediately seized by its voracious enemy.
The fish is said to be able to bring
