Husband and Wife.

It is bv no means new theory that a
man and woman who have been married
great many years grow to resemble
each other, not onlv in manner and
voice, but actually as to features and
expression. A recent number Of the
Illustrirte Welt has an article on this
subject. which states that the photo
graphic association of Geneva has quite
lately been investigating the truth OF
this theory by the aid of the camera.
The photographs Of seventy-eight elder
ly or very old married couples we're
taken, and an equal number OF family
groups. The result proved quite satis-
factory to holders of this theory mas
much as ia twenty-four cases the re-
semblance between husband and wife
was much greater than between brother
and sister. and IN thirty cases more it
was fully as great. The failure OF the
other twenty-four couples to realize the
expectations of those interested in the
matter is..supposedl7 due to "incompa-
liability If disposition" which time was
apparently unable to combat in it's
effects.

Charles Lambs Nature.

The Chautauquan says Of Charles
Lamb that he possessed that highest Of
heart qualities, universal human ten
derness He always saw the best in
men and awakened it, sometimes
from a long sleep. Glow could hate
him?" he said to some one. "Don't I
know him? I never could hate anyone:
I knew" It was this ready compre-
hension Of every mans nature that
made him say, in his whimsical way:
Il love fool as naturally as if were
kith and kin to him" Nor was it g.
fondness which made him blind to his
friends foibles. Of queer Martin Bur
ney he wrote: "Why does not his guard
ian angel look after him? Maybe he
has tired him OUT Of Wordsworth,
who had declared he could have written
Hamlet if he'd had the mind, he said:
''It is clear nothing is wanting but the.
mind.'' OF his landlord he wrote: "He
has forty-fve pounds sterling d year
and one anecdote." OF everybody he
made keen characterizations, but al

Smith gave Pritchard heavy blow on

a surprising change occurred. Pritch-

Smith was hardly able to stand. The
third round was a One-slded affair.

A Brief But Pointed Document From the
Worlds Fair Commissioners. :
The State OF Minnesota, to be appro-
priately represented at the Worlds Co
lumbar Exposition, needs at least a
hundred thousand dollars in addition to
the amount at present available.
The Commission, feeling that the deep
interest manifested throughout the State
should have some public and formal ex-
preston; believing also that some better
plan for raising this additional sum, than
the one most favorably considered by
them, may be suggested, have decided
to call convention for this two-fold pur-
pose, to be held in the Hall Of Repre-
sentatives at St, Paul, on Thursday
morning, August 18th, at 10 o'clock, to
which convention each Chamber Of Com
MERGE, Board Of Trade, City and Village
Council in every city and town through
out the State is invited to send two
delegates.
In counties where there are no such
organized bodies, the Chairman OF the
Board of County Commissioners is re-
quested to appoint the delegates.
We earnestly desire that the newspa-
pers of the State, always ready to aid In
every move which may prove of benefit
to our commonwealth, will bring their
mighty influence to the support OF the
Commission in this matter.

Confinement.

Messrs. 0'Bnen and Dillon Released From
Confinement.
DUBLIN, July 30.-Messrs. O'Brien
and Dillon, the two Irish members Of
parliament who have been undergoing
sentences of six months imprisonment
for Incl ing tenants of the Smith Barry
estate at Tippera,y to resist payment OF
rents, were released from Galway Jail
at 1925 o'clock this morning. Messrs.
Dillon and O'Brien showed but slight
traces of having suffered from the
rigors of confinement in jail: in fact,
they seemed to be enjoying perfect
health. Large crowds of people gath
cred outside the Jail long before the
hour set for the de]iverance Of the two
imprisoned Irish leaders, and when the
latter did appear they were greeted
with loud shouts of ''stick to Parnell."
These shouts, however, were inter-
mixed with others equally loud, and
which had for their tenor, "Down with
ParnelI.' No sooner were the men,
bers of parliament free from the prison
surroundings, than deputation COM
posed of tenant farmers presented them
with several addresses Of congratula-
ton upon their release from prison.
Mrs. William O'Brien, the wife Of the
we'll known member Of parliament. was
waiting in carriage outside the jail
for her husband, whom she welcomed
back to liberty in most affectionate
manner, amid the cheers OF the sur
rounding crowd. After replying briefly
to the addresses Of welcome and shak-
ing hands with a number Of the most
prominent people present, both Mr..
Dillon and Mr.. O'Brien entered Mrs.
William O'Brien's carriage and were
driven, followed by repeated cheers and
shouts of good wishes, TO the residence
of Bishop Mccormack. where the en-.
tire party were entertained at break
fast. At this repast number OF short
addresses were made, but the guests, as
a rule, were too much occupied with
personal and private conversation of a
congratulatory nature to enter very
deeply into formal phraseology. The
released prisoners and their families,
according to announcement, will start
for this city during the afternoon.

STRANGE INFORMATION.
The Queer Way in Which Some
Fishes Pass the Winter.
Interesting Observations of STUDENT OF
Pisciculture-Somo Remarkable
Phases of Submarine


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,
saws a writer in Harper's Young Peo-
pie. A large number of fishes, some OF
them living in deep ponds, brooks, on
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 the bottom,
were half dozen German carp, all
facing the direction from which the
water flowed. noticed their positions
January, twice in February and two or
three times in March, and in all that
time not one of them had changed its
position or moved fin or tail.
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
tick. Each one made a slow, lazy
movement and relapsed into stiffness.

was an eel about three fset long. When
l 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 nc
waste of animal tissue, and they do not
need food. Put frog in a 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 rae by
DR.. Ferguson, the pathologist OF New
York hospital. In one of the small
tanks belonging to the hospital museum
a 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 SUI 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 actiyity
