A Houscbuiiaing Fish.

In Lake Nyassa, in the interior of
Darkest Africa there is kind of
blacliiisA which every year builds what
the natives term q house. In the mud
at the bottom of the lake it makes a
hole some two or three feet broad, heap
ing up The mud removed from the hole
so us to form little wall around it.
TIE depth of the hole and the height of
the wall measured together make a
basin from fifteen to twenty inches
deep. In this lake within lake this
queer little fish crects q rludhouse, the
avoragc-sizcd specimen measuring four
teen inches across the bottom, rapidly
coming to a point in the shape of a
broad conc. a hole four inches in di-
ameter, always on the south side,
serves as an opening for cgress and in
gress. A dried specimen of this queer
domicile preserved in the Royal Muse
um at Berlin has two doors, and q par
tition separating it into two, rooms.

MANY FIJI Up on soup.

The thrift of the table-d'hote pro-
prietor has made an interesting discov-
cry in the dietetic life Of New Workers,
says the World. Give them, says an cX-
pert, the very finest soup you can get
made, with plenty of chicken and mar
row bones and tidbits and fiavoring in
it. The hungry table-d'hoter will rare
ly resist q second plate of such potage,
and that fatal step once taken, with its
accompanying bread and butter and
pickles and so forth, the appctites
death-knell has been sounded. What
matters it that the roast is small or the
entree is meager. They will suffice
! and the magnificent soup will carry its
victim through q poor dinner.

(, An English immigrant who landed at
the barge Office the other day from the
steamship Nevada, says the New York
Sun, unsuspectingly brought with her a
vagrant cat of the sterner sex from Liv-
erpooL The woman's household articles
were stored in big box. After the box
was dumped on the Guion lines pier at
LIVERPOOL she found that there was
something in it that she wanted to use
on the voyage. She had the box opened.
The cat surreptitiously got into the
opening. and presumably finding the
feather bedding inside luxurious and
soporific, permitted itself to go to sleep,
and was nailed up. When the Customs
Inpectors opened the box on the Guion
line pier here they were startled to find
the cat, so emanciated from his seven
teen days fast tnat his ribs protruded
like barrel hoops. The ships carpenter
gave him bowl of milk and LIE braced
up Immediately. The carpenter appro-
priated him and he will hereafter be the
Nevada's mouser.

great uproar in the courtroom, as the
effect of this pictorial testimony upon
the jury could not be measured. The
witness with the ear was, however,
measurably discredited, and the case
went on. Medical experts were called
in to testify as to what the difference in
appearance would be between shoto's
ear cut with a knife and one torn
by the teeth of dog. The
experts did not agree and the jury dis
agreed, and another trial was held, the
second jury disagreeing as the first had
done. Charges of perjury were made
on each side and a number of assault
nd battery cases grew out of it. The
costs of litigation were between foul

"The question was about the identity
of a shote,n continued the lawyer The
witnesses on one side swore it was o pig
in barnyard, and had never been
out until it had been put into n
pen, from which it was taken to be
slaughtered. The witnesses on the
other side swore that they had known
it from the time it was sucking. But
the great point was the proof of an ear
mark. One claimant, sustained by one
set of witnesses, said he marked an car
of the shote with his pocket-l1nife, and
the cut was explained at great length
to the jury. The other claimant said
the mark on the ear of his shote was
torn by the teeth Of a dog. 1t was at
this stage of the testimony that a sensa-
tional feature was introduced. One
witness, having brought his testimony
to an exciting point, added a climax by
pulling from his pocket picked pigs

the shote in question. This created a
