FISH THAT CAN FIGHT.
How the Swordfish Looks, Acts and APP
peases Its Hunger.


i peases It's Hunger.
In point of size the swordfsh has few
rivals among fish. The average length
of specimens taken on the Atlantic
coast is eleven or twelve feet, including
the sword, which is three or four feet
long. The maximum length known to
have been attained has been about six
teen feet, although specimens SO large
are quite rare and are seldom seen. The
; weight of a fish eleven feet long is be-
tween three and four hundred pounds,
while sixteen-foot monster would turn
the scales at seven hundred or eight
hundred pounds.
About the first of June swordfsh
make their appearance in large, scat
tered schools off the southern part OF
the New England coast, being attract
ed, like bluefsh, horse mackerel, sharks
and other predaceous species, by the
presence of weaker fish. upon which
they subsist, notably menhaden, mack
erel and herring. During the summer
months they range over wide area,
extending from Block island to Nova
Scotia. and, exceptionally, Newfound-
land, says a writer in Frank Leslie's
Monthly. Toward the end of October
they begin to move off our shores,
and by the advent of cold weather they
have all disappeared. The fishery
terminates some time before the fish
withdraw from the coast, as the low
cred temperature and boisterous ele-
ments cause them to seek more con-
genial haunts at greater depths, where
it is impossible to capture them.
AS rule the swordfsh leads a lazy,
peaceful life near or at the surface, and
is seldom observed except under fair
skies and on calm Seas when it may be
seen gliding leisurely through the
water, apparently without the slightest
exertion, with the long caudal and
dorsal fins projecting above the surface
in a way that is sufficiently character
istic to distinguish the fish even at long
distances In the midst of such a state
we may often see sudden change in
the nature of the movements; restless
activity takes the place of istless wan
dering; the water is all in connection
as the fish darts here and there with
apparent rage, jumping half out OF the
water, diving, squirting again to the
surface, and lashing the waves into
foam. After time perhaps we see the
remains of small fish floating about in
the water, and we come to the proper
conclusion that our gladiator has fallen
in with school of luckless herring Or
menhaden, and has been using his skill
full weapon in providing the means to
assuage the pangs of hunger, which we
may we'll imagine are frequent and pro-
nounced in body of such proportions.

PARIS AND ITS DEAD.
An Establishment by Which Everyone L
Afforded Decent Funeral.

An Establishment by Which Everyone Is
Afforded q Decent Funeral.
In every great city the poor live by
the worldly vanities of the rich. In
Paris they die in the same way. It is
the manufacture of innumerable super
fuities which makes up the bulk of the
industry of the working classes. The
French capital has developed an in
genious system by which the poor are
furnished with free burial at the ex-
pense of the pride, pomp and circum-
stance" which Dives considers his due
on the road to the tomb, writes. Edward
r. Spearman in the Forum. One of the
largest, best managed and most profit
able industries in Paris is that Of the
Pompes Funebres, the gigantic monop-
oily which alone has the privilege of
transporting the dead through the
streets of Paris in funeral style: It
possesses undertakers' material to the
value of over four millions of francs,
does some six millions a year of bust
ness, and turns over nearly two and a.
half millions of this as clear profit to
It's accredited owners, the church estab-
hshment of the city, after gratuitously
and decently burying some three out of
every five of the dead as INDECENT sub
jects.
Each country and each age have their
own fashion OF disposing of their dead,
from the Patagonian who makes Zion
meat" of his spouse back to the ancient
Roman with his ancestral urns. Taken
all in all, perhaps there is no more rea-
sonable arrangement than that of the
thrifty Partisan, who manages to have
each disposal of the dead carried on ''de-
Gently and in order. through the ex-
ploitation of love Of lavish display in
minor portion of the community. One
sees nothing of the CHASTITY side Of the
undertakers' work in visiting the vast
premises which have been recently de-
voted to the use of the Pompes, Fune-
bres, away out in the extreme north
east Of Paris, in: La Villette. There we

CONTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.
The report of the controller Of the currency
gives complete and detailed information as ia
the organization, condition and management of
all active and failed national banks during the
year ended October 81, 1892.
One hundred and sixty-three banks, with an
aggregate capital of els, 1856, 900. we're organ
lied during the year, ffty-three went into vol
untary liquidation and seventeen became in
solvent, leaving net increase of ninety-three
for the year.
OF the new banks organized during the year
about one-half were west of the Mississippi
river and 80 per cent were in the southern
states.
The total number Of banks in operation Oc-
tober 81, 1892, was 1888, having an aggregate
capital OF S693, 1868 ,665 and surplus and I'M
divided profits of $40 524,l79 The total
amount of individual deposits 81, 1885,
422 $50; total bank deposits, $3.50. 653, 202, and
total resources, So, $40, 09i, 1897. The national
| bank circulation outstanding shows net In

ment bonds required of national banks be
$1,000 for banks of $4,000 capital and $4,000
for banks whose capital exceeds ESQ, 900.

notes equal to the par value Of the bonds held
| to secure circulation.
go That the monthly withdrawal Of boudi
