FISHES THAT LIVE IN MUD.

Curious Creatures Fitted Out with Two
Kinds of breathing Apparatus.
There is no more remarkable creature
than the mudfish, which inhabits GER
tain of the rivers of western Africa,
and, as its name implies, turks mt the
muddy bottoms of these rivers. Atfirst
sight, says Pearson's Weekly, there is
nothing especially striking about this
animal. 1t looks very much like an or
binary fish, except for its curious, long,
slender fins. A visitor who knew moth
ing about the creature would probably
go away with the impression that he
had seen nothing out of the common.
When the fishes arrive at zoo each one
is cncased in n ball of dried mud, lined
ated with q small aperture 10 admit Of
breathing. The COCOON" as it is some
times called, on account Of its analogy
to the earthern case fabricated by
many caterpillays in which t2 undergo
their metamorphoses, on being placed
In warmish water is dissolved and the
fish liberated. The habit which the
mudfish has of making an carthern
chamber of the mud at the bottom of
the river is n most wonderful provision
of nature for the cxigencies of the eli
mate. The rivers which the fish i'm
habit are liable to periodical droughts.
When such drought is imminent, the
fish retircs to deep water and cXcavatcs
pit, in which it lies, covering itself
over with thick layer of mud 1t can
suffer with IMMUNITY the complete dry
ing up of the river. But the most in
teresting fact about the creature is that
during the time of its voluntary i'm
prisonment it breathes air directly
through an aperture left in the cocoon,
by means of lungs, like land animal.
When the rains dissolve the mud and
hberate the fish, it brcathcs by means
of gills just like any other fish.

WHITE SALMON RIVER.
While Not Iuphouious the Name Is nm
Honest One.

While Not I:uphonious the Name Is nm
Honest One.
Up the gorge of the Columbia, seven
ty-sevcn miles from Portland by water
and siXty-cight by rail and fcrriage via
Hood river, lies Il seQueStcrcd valley
known to Il few of the earliest settlers
and never yet brought into the promi
ncncc that it merits on account of it's
seclusion, says the Portland Oregonian.
How far back its present name APP
piled to it is unknown to the writer, but
it is quite apparent to anyone ut all
familiar with the place that the name
White Salmon, though not high-sound-
ing nor poetic, is an honest application
in the art of nomenclature, or in other
words it came TO its name honestly.
Every fall about the first of September
great runs of the white salmon or n
white salmon put in appearance at the
mouth of the White Salmon river and
ascend that strcam as far as the tumb-
ling waters and their strength will
permit. The words tho and "a"
white salmon are used because some
claim they are II distinct species, while
others contend that they are simply
the WORKOUT and rocll-thumpcd Chi
it would be inclined to the latter, as they
are easily taken, ascend the stream but
short distance, and shortly after their
appearance the shores and bottom of the
stream are lined and spotted with their
carcaSSeS.
Each season, little before the run of
while salmon commences, the Indians
begin to converge from every direction
to gather this tishy harvest and remain
until the middle or last of November,
by which time the salmon have all been
taken, dried or turned their course else
where. AS the fish are SO easily taken
this is very satisfactory and bountiful
harvest for the Indians, who catch and
dry them in immense quantities and
carry them on their ponies to the reser-
walton and other places they may
chance to reside. Mono of the catch is
ever utilized by the white residents, OK
cept occasionally Il bright-colorcd, rcd
hcshed silvcr-side or some other variety
which happens to be taken.

An Australian In Perfect Good Faith De-

Americans are exceedingly sensitive
to any criticism, says writer in Great
er Britain, but, much as they think of
their institutions, the majority of those
whom l met condemned the state of
their politics most strongly.
They put very little faith in their
state legislatures, nearly all of which
are allowed TO sit only every alternate
year. In California the members are
paid more in accordance with the
Queensland system than with that
adopted i'll the other colonies.
The members of the lower house re-
ceive IS, or 4"s. 4d, and the members OF
the upper house $40, or Ais. Sd day, for

lowed to sit more than ninety days, and
if the ninety days be exceeded the mem.

Strange Sunerstitinn.

In the country about IIomolcz in
hungary, Il number of men had died,
leaving young widows who, after n
time, became engaged to be married
again. The graves of the dead hus-
bands were all found to have been dis
turbcd, and further investigation proved
that the graves and the collins in them
had been opened and the heads of the
corpscs severed from the trunks. The
bridcgrooms of the widows had thus
dcsccratcd the resting places of the
dead. At the trial they said that there
was Il tradition or conviction among
the people that widows who married
again would in the bridal night and
further on be harasscd by the reap
pcarancc of their first husbands unless
the latter had been previously dccapi-
tatcd. That is why the bridegrooms had
to commit the dismal deed before their
marriage with the widows could be eel
cbrated.
fT IS well we cannot see INTO inc
future; there are few boys of fourteen
who would not feel ashamed of them
selves at forty.-Idle Thoughts of an

Gorman,s aIinstrels.

Germans Minstrels appeared at the
Opera House last night and gave an ex-
cellent performance. The entertain
ment throughout was unique, differing
greatly from The old style Of minstrelsy.
The different selections were greatly
enjoyed by the Urge audience. The
three German brothers James, John
and Gtorge have achieved q great
reputation as fun makers and
they fully sustained it last
night. They certainly deserve tho high
place they have won on the minstrel
stage. Billy Van was as funny as any
one could desire, and made an instan-
taneous hit with the audience. His
songs and dialogues were repeatedly en-.
cored. The second part was opened
with beautiful drill entitled Gather
ing of tho Clans" No finer work has
even been seen in Roanoke than was
done in this drill The entire company
is an excellent ono and is entitled TO o
front rank in their profession.
