Women take only too kindly to the

sense Of duty rouses her she will calmly
continue for the rest Of her days in the
pleasant path before her. She smiles
sweetly at the little attentions offered
her, she dresses in the daintiest of semi
toilets, and she looks so pretty and gem
tie and patient that it seldom dawns on
her husband that the existence is an ig-
noble one. But let my lord fall i'll, and,

Rsmarkable renaeitr Of Llfe.

The pious DR.. Shirley Palmer tells a
fish story that is calculated to make the
members of the st. Louis Hunting and
Fishing association Ito use a strictly
original expression) "turn green with
envy" By some hook or crook--hoolz
no doubt-Mr. Palmer came into pos
session of fine brace Of tench. They
were lively pair of finny beauties when
the doctor took them home with the idea
of slaughtering them for his Sunday din
ner. Placing them in pail of water, he
put them into the larder and thought no
more about the matter. That night at
midnight he was aroused, so he says, by
a groan proceeding from no aforesaid
larder. Inspection of the room explained
the mystery.
One of the fish had sprung from the
basin or pail and lay gasping upon the
floor, every now and then uttering
sounds similar to those which had dis
turbed Mr.. Palmer. Next day both fish
were prepared for dinner. but such was
their tenacity of life that both, after hay
ing undergone the process Of scaling and
evisceration, sprang from the pan and
wriggled about on the floor as though
they had but recently been removed from
their native element
This is told rs scientific fact, not as
fish story or in the way Of a joke

Horses In spectacles.

Horses, it appears, are taking kindly
to spectacles. The Optician, which has
made special investigations into the sub
ject, gives the case Of a short sighted
horse whose owner ordered for him q
pair of spectacles. They were made to
fasten firmly into the head stall SO that
they could not be shaken out of place.
At first the animal appeared startled by
this addition to his harness, but he soon
got used to his glasses and liked them
SO much that when he was turned out
to pasture he felt uneasy and uncomfort-
able without his goggles and one Sunday
hung around the barn and whinnied SO
plaintively that the owner put the head
stall and goggles on him, and the horse
was so glad that he rubbed the mans
shoulder with his nose as the only meth
cd of returning thanks.
Dogs who suffer from short sighted
ness have also been provided with spec
tacles and have been able thereby to
recognize their canine acquaintance
much further off than before. If the
system is not carried further no great
harm will be done, but suppose "uppish'
horses and dogs insist upon discarding
goggles for the pincenez or even tho
monocle? Puppies in eyeglasses would
be intolerable.--L Telegraph.

African Fruit Ruined by Insects.

Half measures are of no avail in deal
ing with the parasitic fly ceratitis--that
scourge of the fruit farmers in South
Africa. Mr.. William Tuck of Grahams-
town, who expresses this opinion, is a
high authority on fruit farming. He
tells us that in the eastern province
they can never depend ON any fruit ex-
cept grapes coming to ripeness without
damage from fly Larvae, though where,
owing to high altitude-2,0 900 feet to
5000 and oyer-there are sharp frosts
every winter such fruits as can stand
the cold are fairly free from the plague,
because the larvae cannot tide over the
frost.
1t sometimes happens that scarcely q
peach ripens in the whole province with
out worm inside Mr.. Tuck is for he
roic remedies. He is decidedly Of opin-
ion that If general and perfect destruc-
ton of all tho fruit grown in any one
year could be brought about by the COM
mon consent OF the whole body OF fruit
growers the fly might be stamped out,
but he mournfully confesses that the
universal system Of Ego as you please"
added to the isolated life of cape farms,
rendersany such united action of q years

impraetieable.- -London News.

The capital OF the nation is infested
with a human insect that devotes its en-

To slam door may be an evidence of
bad temper or bad manners, but it is
also a popular superstition that slam

undoubtedly due to supposition enter

the departed hover about the place where
they departed from their bodies. The
Indians of this country frequently howled
and beat the air with brushwood in or

Table Decoration.

The fashion Of identifying the table,
which in these days is carried to such an
extent, is by no means so original as
many claim it to be. It is simply the
revival of an old custom. We are told
that in France when the great joints
grew distasteful and small dishes took
their place decorations of the table
changed too. Permanent pieces called
''dormants, "or '.surtouts, made Of crys-
tai and mounted in silver were placed in
the middle of the table, and from them
branched candelabra Of gilt and silver,
vases filled with flowers, tiny trays COW
cred with sweetmeats, or here and there
statuettes.
Finally the surtout grew so large that
it almost covered the table. People at
last grew tired of the monotony of this
ornament, no matter how artistic it
might be, and instead the center of the
table was often covered with layer of
potteris clay, in which q florist would
set cut flowers in any design that pleased
him. Artists were often employed To
decorate the table, the center of which
would be covered with temples, bridges,
amphitheaters or emblematic groups Of
figures. all made of paste.
Sometimes the artist would represent
landscape covered with snow. M.
Carada invented an artificial hoarfrost,
which was melted by the heat of the
room, during which process the guests
saw the thawing of the river and the
budding of the trees and flowers as spring
succeeded winter. There were also the
'sableurs." who, by means Of beautiful
ly colored sands, powdered marbles,
ground glass, beads and bread crumbs,
made very ingenious figures upon the Ia
BILE cloths. Harper's Bazaar.

the smallest degree elated. His true
eminence lowered supremely above the
adventitious honor, yet he could not but
feel the qualification which had arisen,

the sense of the secure fame involved in
the recognition by his country Of the

talking took place as before. But in
