Fish That shoot Elfe..


There is a curious fish of the Indian
ocean, to which. although it has long
been known TO naturalists, 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 short snout or
muzzle. which. as we shall see, serves
very much the purpose of sportsman s
gun. It is fond of insects, and its
method of capturing them has suggested
its 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
down a fly in this manner from height
of two or three feet
Some of the inhabitants of Java keep
these little fish in captivity for the sake
of watching them practice their archery
upon flies and ants suspended above
then.-Youth's Companion

saturn,s Rings DIsappear

According to Professor George G. Com
stock, of the Washburn observatory,
Madison. Wis. the phenomenon of the
disappearance of the rings of Saturn has
just occurred: Once in fifteen years the
earth in its motion about the sun passes
through the plane of the rings of Saturn,
so that they are turned edgewise toward
the earth The rings are SO thin that
they then disappear altogether. from
sight in an ordinary telescope. while in
the moro powerful ones the planet ap-s
pears to havea fine needle thrust through
it. The appearance of the rings at the
times of disappearance and temperance
is of special interest to astronomers, since
it furnishes information with regard to
the nature of these appendages not other
wise attainable.-Ph Philadelphia Ledger

DisiIlusions.

During his days of youthful enthusi-
asm every man promises himself career
of perfect happiness-of. stainless re-
spectability-of- matchless honor We
hatter ourselves that the world will re-
form itself for our sake. We anticipate
faultless partner in our future bride,
and cheat ourselves with the expectation
that the even current of destinies will
flow over sands of gold Alasl the first
self deception we are compelled to resign
becomes bitter trial to our fortitude;
but. one after another, we see these
cherished visions fade away-we fnure
ourselves to the degree of mediocrity
which is our allotted portion-and final
ly learn to be contented with such scraps
as the charity of fortune throws in our
way.-New York Ledger

Cheap Chest Proteetor.,

At this season of the year so many
people are caught unawares at distance
from their hearth and home and warm
clothes that it is good time to mention
the great yalue of newspapers as chest
protectors. Let the papers be firmly
dried and then folded into several thick
nesses and placed across the chest. If
they are also wrapped in strips around
the arms it win be found that they exert
a beneficial influence.
Professional economists who utilize
everything, even to old tin cans and shoe
tops, are quite unstinted in their praises
of old newspapers. and use them for

The Price of Coal.

A gentleman who has given much
thought to the price of coal said to me:
The owners OF anthracite coal hope that
when householders return to town in Oc-
tober they will lay in their full supply of
coal for the winter. Now, if household
ers do this, they will simply play into the
hands of the coal barons and make the
price of coal higher. The sensible thing
to do is to purchase from hand to mouth
instead of filling their cellars.
THAT would result in the large COM
panies being compelled to carry along
great quantities of coal and would gradu-
ally reduce the price of this much needed
article. The earnings and the income of
people nowadays are on the decrease,
and an excellent way to curtail honse-
hold expenses is to force down the price
of coal to the level it ought to reach. -

A Long Island Ghost.

A house on Long Island that long pos
sessed the reputation of being haunted
was rented by a man who had no fear of
ghosts, and who was determined if any
existed there to meet them. He sue
ceeded, but the ghosts weren't of the
kind we see represented in pictures. He
heard strange noise late one night and
located it on the roof. Accordingly he
armed himself with clubs and repaired
to the roof. His coming did not cause
the mysterious. sounds to- cease, and SO
he gradually crept along until he came
down on the ''ghost. It was large
vase that was being rocked by the high
winds. causing the unearthly noises He
pitched the ghost to the ground. smash
ing it into a thousand pieces and then
returned to bed.-New York Letter.

Killed a Deer with a PocketISnife.

One morning about three weeks ago
George Phaup, of Chesterfield, Va.
heard two hounds running a deer, but
as this was no unusual occurrence in his
neighborhood he paid no attention to it.
Later in the day, while about to cross
the Appomattox river bridge below his
house, he was surprised to recognize the
voices of the same two hounds he had
heard in the morning, and this time they
were baying something in slash on the
low grounds, which, on investigation,
proved to be an enormous buck that had
got hung in such manner that despite
his frantic efforts he could not release
himself .1..a.fl. ..ge
Mr.. Phaup had no weapon other than
a pocketknife. but he attacked the ami
NAL with that, and succeeded after a
desperate struggle with the thoroughly
enraged brck in cutting his throat. The
final and most difficult task was getting
his prize on the horse, but he soon ac-
complished this, and your humble serv-
ant had piece of the venison for break
fast the next morning. Cor. American

Making It Hot for a Lover.

An advertisement for wife brought
several answers to the advertiser, a young
gentleman of Tarentum, Pa. Among
them was one signed Cora" of Spring
dale. The writer's sentiments and Chi
. Biography seemed to indicate young lady
of refinement, regular correspondence
followed, and then the young man agreed
to go to Springdale and meet his ideal.
They met at the railroad station and
started off together. Then procession
Of 200 wags of the place followed the
couple, and paralyzed the young Lo-
thario by stepping up in turn and in
quiring about the health of the bewitch-
ing Cora. @
1t should here be stated that Cora
was personated by smooth faced young
man, arrayed in his mothers toggery.
Lothario soon realized that he was the
victim of a practical joke, and deserting
the giggling 'Cora" he hurried to the
train and started homeward. A tele-
graph operator had prepared for his re-
ception in Tarentum by sending tele-
gram thither; and when Lothario arrived
there the whole town had turned out in
body to make exasperating inquiries
about his conquest of "Cora."-Yankee

"That Is LOVE-.

In a small watering place in western
Prussia a rich lady with her daughter,
nineteen years old, hired a cottage for
the whole summer season.
But the two ladies had not been six
weeks in the place when they suddenly
departed. The reason for this abrupt
ending of their pleasure trip was a love
affair between the young lady and a
spruce fisherman. which the mother
crushed in the bud With this, how
ever, the story does not end.
The inhabitants of the place, fearing
that some more young ladies might fall
in love with the nice fisherman, which
would consequently lead to more abrupt
departures, resolved to prevent such oc-
currences in future.
They held a meeting and decided that
the fisherman should be punished Sc
verely for his imprudence in allowing
himself to be the object of love for
young ladies. A committee took the
culprit to an open place and hogged him
SO numerically that the poor fellow had
to lie in bed for several days.-Boston

= A Good Day for Bears.

James E. Cliff, of this city, who is en-
joying a vacation by hunting in the
vicinity of Canaan, VT, met quite sur
prise Sunday. While walking along in
the woods in Pittsburg, N. H., he sud
denly became aware that three bears
were very near him and his gun was out
OF order. Time was precious, however,
and fearing he would lose his chance he
fired, and fortunately captured the
largest of the three. A second and third
shot brought down the other two. He
sold the pelts of two of the animals for
twenty dollars, and as there was a
bounty of ten dollars on bears in that
state he made on the whole transaction
about fifty dollars. The third bear Mr..
Cliff will stuff and mount.-New Bed

Demand for Heavy Engines.

At no time in history of railroads have
the efforts to improve the work of engines
received more attention than at the pres
ent. Mechanics are attempting to de-
termine the most perfect combinations
of speed and strength, and at the same
time economize in the use of fuel. Each
year the standard of locomotives in this
country is raised higher, and the engines
of the present time are great improve
ment on those of even ten years ago.
Some master mechanics are of the
opinion that the heaviest locomotive now
built is as heavy as it is practicable to
build one, while others predict that still
heavier passenger and freight engines
will be built and the roadbeds of the
country SO improved as to admit of high
speed with safety. even if an engine
weighs one-third more than the ten
wheel passenger engines now in use.
What the future of mechanism will bring
forth to increase the speed and power of
engines is a problem of interest to others
than mechanics.-New York Telegram.

A Hard Joke ON a BashfuI. coupIe.

pretty girl from out Of town had
been staying for some time with young
lady friend in Buffalo. and as the time
for her departure drew nigh a young
man from out of town turned up and
volunteered to attend the young girl on
her homeward journey The hostess put
up a liberal lunch for the travellers, and
then filed in all the crevices with rice.
She also put some in the young mans
coat pockets, slid some into the young
iadys parasol, and likewise deposited
some in the depths of the young mans
umbrella. Both boarded the train with
out noticing these suggestive additions
to their traps.
The result is not yet known, but as
the young man is slightly bashful, and
the young lady is known to blush on
slight provocation, the consequences,
when the rice fell all over the car floor,
can be imagined.-Buffalo Enquirer.

An Interesting Tennis lsAttls.


There is something superb about the
loftiness of the average British army
officer when in the presence of civil
ians." In the recent tennis tournament
for the championship Of the maritime
provinces of Canada, Halifax sent the
flower of her majesty's officers to COM
pete for tennis laurels. The military
men poopoohed the idea that the sscivil-
ians" had of making fight worth talk
ing about with British redcoats. ssNow,
if you had any military men here" said
one, lit might be. different" They
stalked around with majestic army
stride before the tourney began. Then
two young men, hardly more than boys,
who had heard the talk about the ''civil-
ians," frightened their belts and went for
the whole British army.
They defeated all her majesty's players
save two, the crack" pair of Halifax,
and when their turn to meet came the
hu1niliated officers leaned back and
smiled once more in superior way
'.Now let these youngsters beat them, if
they can," they said. And the youngsters
did beat them. They played tennis that
made the officers shiver, and thrashed
them beautifully. The military men
couldn't explain it, but the boys could.
Il would rather have beaten those fell
lows than the best player in the world, y
said one of them, and the young s'civi1-
ian" shut his teeth, land I'd like to do it

number of scholars in the schools of
England since Sept. /, when the free ed
ucation act went into force. The man
ayers of schools advised the parents of
the scholars to put into savings banks
for the benefit of their children the three
pence per week that had previously been
paid for the education of each child, and
school savings banks were established to
receive these deposits. This advice was
followed by large numbers of parents in
various parts of England. and the banks
have already been of service. In the city

5000 new accounts have been opened in
