Monica when he caught what at first
sight appeared to be "A solid lump OF
gold. When the prize was safely

the Japanese fish known as the pap.
raiSa, ana by experts it is said to
be the first OF it. kind ever caught on
that coast.
The fish is beautiful creature, be-
ing exactly the color OF FURNISHED
gold and of graceful contour 1t Is
about nine inches in length five
inches in width and about one and Il
half inches thick. The head Is short
aud the mouth small, but full of rows
of sharp frontal teeth. The dorsal
fin is of short length, but is sharply
serrated, and continues along the
back, ending in a larger fin, which, in
connection with corresponding one
underneath the body and the tail,
gives it the appearance of three
tailed fish.
A remarkable feature of this beauti-
ful fish is that it is furnished with two
distinct sets of gills. The eyes are
prominent and bright yellow in color.

STRANGE DISCOVERY.
Balzac's Dressing Gown In the Wardrobe
OF the King OF Dahomey

Balzac's Dressing Gown In the Wardrobe
of the King OF Dahomey.
UnloOl1ed-for things have been
found in unlikely places, but ther e
has probably been no discovery more
remarkable than that OF Balzac' S
dressing gown In posse ,sion of the
king OF Dahomey. Monarchs are rar e.
ly literary, aud his dusky majesty,
one would think, was the very last of
them to have set much value upon the
personal relic of novelist, however
distinguished. Nevertheless. the
French found it in the royal apart
ment at Abomey. There were some
ingenious theories founded upon this
circumstance. One of the amazons,
1t was thought, might have been
novel reader, and had sent to
Paris to secure the interesting me-
mento, and, on the affair coming to
the knowledge of her sovereign, had
hastened to say she had purchased II
for his own shoulders. For. indeed.
he always wore il upon state occa-
sions. IL was not a dressing gown,
such as literary persons in this coun-
try are wont to wear, of second class
flannel worn az the edges, but OF
purple velvet embroidered with gold.
As q matter of fact, it had been given
to Balzac by some Of his admirers and
after his death had been bought by a
dealer in curiositieS, who had placed
It, with other snowy articles, on the
Wcst fripan market II l. sad fc

Il Resulted In the Invention of the Sew

James NJ, Howe, formerly resident
Of Springfield, Mass, and now OF Chi

the inventor Of the sewing ma chine.
lie recently related curious incident
concerning his relatives struggle for
success.
p"Elias Howe almost beggarcd him
self" said he, ''hefore he discovered
where the eye of the needle Of sew
ing machine should be located. IT Is
probable that there are few persons
who know how IL came about. His
original idea was TO follow the model
OF the ordinary needle and have The
eye at the heel. IL never occurred TO
him that II should be placed near the
point, and he might have failed alto
gether If he had not dreamed he was
building sewing machine for II saw
age king in strange country. just
as in his actual waking experience, he
was perplexed about the needles
eve. lie thought the king gave him
twenty-four hours to complete the
machine and make il sew. II not fin
ished at that time death was to be
the punishment
"llowe worked and worked, and
puzzled and puzzled, and finally gave
il up. Then he thought that he was
taken out TO be executed. lie noticed
that the warriors carried spears that
were pierced at the head. Instantly
came the solution of the difficulty,
and while the inventor was begging
for time he awole. II was o'clock
in the morning. lie jumped out OF
bed, ran TO his shop, and by @ o'clock
needle with an eye at the point had
been rudely formed. Alter that i
