WALKING FISH.
Thoy Have tho Power of Using the Fins
rs Feet or Legs.

The ability of n fish to retain Its vi
tality OUT of water depends in a great
degree upon its ability to keep the de-
licate tissue Of its giils wet. says the
Iouth's Companion, and this ability is
Increased. in a few species, by means
OF Il peculiar construction in the head.
in which water is retained after the
fish is taken out Of tile river or lake,
the gills being kept wet by percolation
from this reservoir. Some such species
have also the power of using the lower
fins as feet or legs, and are enabled by
these two singular gifts Of nature to
pass over land from one body of water
to another.
A correspondent in Province Welles-
ley-as quoted in the American San
gler's Book"-relatcs that while pass.
ing along, during q shower Of rain, the
wide. sandy plain which bounds the
seacoast IN the ncighborhood Of Psna-
ga, he witnessed II singular overland
migration of kan puyu from a chain
of fresh-watcr lagoons toward q sec
ond chain to lagoons about 100 yards
distant.
The fish were in groups of from
three to seven, and were pursuing
their way in a direct line, at the rate
of nearly a mile an hour. When dis
turbed they turned and made an effort
to make their way back to the lagoon
they had left, and would very soon
have reached it had they not been sc.
cured by the Malays who accompanied
the teller of the story and who looked
npon tho migration as an ordinary oc-
currcncc at that season Of the year.
Upward of twenty were thus taken
during a walk of about half n mile,
md no doubt many more could have
been obtained had the Malays been
given time.
The ground these fish were travers-
ing was nearly level, and only scantily
clothed with grass and creeping plants.
which offered very slight obstruction
to their progress.
Sir Emerson Tennent mentions the
fact that he has seer fishes walking
across the country. In India 4 writer
speaks of fish that, by making an ex-
tlaordinary use of their fins, can climb
trees.

EETTING SOLID WITH THE PUBLISHER.
Training should begin at an early
age. One of the most successful young
literary men of my acquaintance began
ut the early age of 6 years to play mar
bles "for keeps" At Z he pitched pen
MES and though the other fellows coin
was oftener nearer the marli.o young
friend nearly always won because he
had a way Of representing a ease which
left nobody in it but himself. His bust
ness nbility attracted the attention of
his father, who made an honorable com
potency by trading horscs.
The son soon surpassed the father to
such an extent that he spent the last
five years of his minority in n refor,na-
tory institution, where he was associat-
ed with several youths who had even
better business heads than his own. In
short, when he came to New York at
the age of 81 he WIS thoroughly well
6ttedtto succeed,
And this is what I wish to impress
upon the mind of any youth who would
gain money by literary work in the
metropolis: Be Il business man. Don't
waste your time with Kcrl's
school grammar; You can hire q type
writer girl who will make your verbs
agree with their subjects if necessary.
The printer will afterward make them
disagree again, anyhow--that is, unless
you throw your work away upon the
tirst-clnss publications.
Don't wrestle with the sequence OF
lenses. The proof-rcader knows all
about that,or if he doesn't he will fix It
to suit himself in spite Of you. Look
4nr the m 1,k SIC n 1py, frN Al , An 1,,,.t
ness, and let the queens English take
Its chances between the case and the
proof-room.
Why, I know n mar who can't call a
dog without offending the animals
grammatical instincts, and yet that
man can write a detective story half as
long and nearly twice as dull MS
@Robert Elsmere' in a week and sell it
for 5000. And I know another man who
has written four irst-rate novels, one Of
which he published with 800 borrowed
money and yesterday he took Il position

They gazed in each others eyes for a
few moments.

@iou win" he said quietly. and lifted
the weapon.
"Click, click. Bang
His body lurched forward, sprawling
over the cards after the smothered re-
port. The miner, with a look of horror
on his face, lifted the lantern and held
it over the body. As he shook his
sleeve our cards tiuttcred down on the
PROSTATE figure.
ut was a close shave, he said, "but

upon 1t and abandoned his ambition.
The other simply dedicated his story to
the memory of Jake Kilrain and sold
1t to the Police Gazette. He is now
writing stuff that should go down to
posterity, in the interests of the manu-
f%actnrer Of the Sc pocket gymnasium.
IT is this power to make everything
available which marks the dawn of 3
new and happy r. in American liter,
Azure. The industry of this rushing
age has taken hold upon the writer
also, and he is not the loafer he used to
be. MIR. Howells errs, / am sure, in
saying that literary labor occupies
fewer hours in the day than any other
kind except that which is done in the
government departments at Washing
ton. have seen one of our successful
young literary men debating to four
st~enographers at once and it took them
till 9 o'clock the next morning to find
out what he had been talking about in
order that it might be put into type
written copy. There we have over
sixty hours of work in q single day put
into the productions of one great liter
ary brain.
He errs, too, in saying that moods
have been credited with too much in
huence in literature. 1t is impossible.
Why, l know a publisher who would
no more buy an article when he's in a
bad mood than he would give a dime to
a starving man. But just lure that fell
low out of his Office and let him beat
you at a couple of games of billiards and
he'll buy almost any old thing that hap
pens to be lying around in your pockets.
l can't say how important that mans
moods hpya hao,, fD !, Jf T 1,,l-sA
discovered the secret of them l might
now be full of ambitious literary designs
and empty of dinner.
But. taking moods perhaps more
seriously and more nearly in the way
intended by Mr.. Howells, and still I
disagree. There are days when / can't
write my name with marking ink on a
celluloid collar and iinpart any literary
flavor to it, and there are other days
when l can dash off a few lines for the
wrapper of n new soap and make them
SO clean and pure and wholesome that
the purchaser will not need to see the
soap for several days.
Yet / hold that proper methods of
literary production will come to a man
naturally, or if they do not he need not
grieve. But the thing he really does re-
quire, the ability to sell anything from
a green-goods circular down to a poem,
must pc obtained by hard study and
dilligent copying of successful practices.
And if | have done anything here or can
do anything in the future to teach the
young writer how he may cheat a pub
Usher to-day in such II delicate manner
that he can cheat him twice as hard to-
morrow l shall feel that l have not been
wholly untrue to those high literary
ideals which are cherished by the men
about me who + making the most
money.
The men whom I speak of are not
working, as l honestly and gratefully
believe that Mr. Howells is, for the
good literature and the pleasure of
posterity, but for things that are
!asting-for bank accounts and real
estate in those districts which Il new
system of rapid transit will open up to
the speculator.-iiownrd Fielding in
Chicago News.

He stands at the door of q tumble
down l~og-cabin,a long barreled rifle on
his arm, and looks up and down the
path which winds through the woods
like the trail of u serpent. The rifle
has been freshly cleaned and loaded.
The man is ragged, long haired, and
old. The locks falling down from tho
edge of his coon-skin cap are almost
white. His eyes have u dangerous

a sudden flash of flame, 9. sharp report,
a cry, and the horse gallops madly
away.
aGot one mo- fur suah!s mutters the
bushwhacler, as he drops his rifle and
steps out to view the dead man and
drag the body into the cover.
There is a rush Of feet, u fierce yell,
and he is surrounded by twenty
soldiers, who cry out for his life. It
is a detail who have been searching
and watching, and they have him ut
last. He has not a word to say-be-
trays no fear. They tie his arms be-
hind him and march him down the
road to the path and up the path to
his cabin. The woman sits there in the
same position, except that her eyes are
on the path and the body Of men. She
knows what has huppened-what will
happen.
Toms bin got.' she whispered, but
she does not betray the slightest excite
ment. She does not even rise to her
feet until the officer in command looks
her over and asks:
"Do yon want to see him hung?"
"Reckon not"
"Then go!"
She is bareheaded and barefooted.
She does not enter the cabin, but steps
into the path. turns to the right, and
the men watch her out of sight. There
is no "good-by, ~ no tears, not even a
backward look. She is hardly out Of
sight before the cabin is fred and a
rope is about her husbands neck. He
does not beg for his life; he does not
defy them; he makes no sign. 1t is
only when the men have tailed on to
the free end of herope to pull him up
and he is asked If he has anything to
say that his lips are parted to utter tho
brief sentence:
