Fish is the chief article of diet OF

with rice, the only food of the lower
classes. But every one is fond OF
fish, and there are a thousand ways
of dressing it daintily. Grabs are
killed by making them swallow a
bumper of sake, which is probably
anything but pleasant to them, but
gives them very delicate taste. The

the fermented juices of several diff

like Liebig's extract diluted with
brandy, seasons large fishes admir-

OLD LETTERS.

Last night some yellow letters fell
From out scrip found by chance.
Among them was the silent ghost
The spirit Of my first romance,
And In faint blue envelope
A withered rose long lost to dew
Bore witness to the dashing days
When love was large and wits were few.
Yet, standing there all worn and gray,
The teardrops quivered in my eyes,
To think Of youths unshaken front,
The forehead lifted to the skies.
How rough hill my eager feet
Flung backward when upon its crest
l saw the fiutter Of the lace
The wind awoke on Helen's breasti
How thornless were the roses then,
When fresh young eyes and lips were
kind,
When Cupid In our porches proved
How true the tale that love Is blindl
But red and white and poverty
Would only mate while shone the May,
Then came bag Of golden crowns
And jingled red and white away.
Grown old and niggard OF romance,
Iwince not much at aught askew,
And often ask my favorite cat
What else had red and white to do?
And here's the bud that rose and sank
A crimson island on her breast.
Why should burn it? Once again
Hide, rose, and dream. Tod send me restl

Evened Up Matters.


Says writer in the st. Louis Post
Dispatch: This is true story; could
give names and places if it were nee
essary. A French gentleman visit
ed relative in ST. Louis, and being
a great sportsman at home was taken
out one day to shoot prairie chickens.
One got up, the Frenchman fired and
missed, but as the bird sailed along
in its peculiar way he thought it
mortally wounded and ran mile to
catch it before he found out his mis-
take. Next year the st. Louis gen.
tleman visited the French relative at
his chateau in Normandy, and being
a great sportsman at home was taken
out one day to shoot hare in the park.
The gamekeeper placed him at the
crossing of two well worn paths.
Soon big hare came trotting along,
and St Louis raised his gun. Please
don't shoot him, monsieur, cried the
keeper. THAT is old Antoine, the fa-
ther of all the haresp The gun was
dropped. Then another hare came
along, and the gun was raised. Please
don't shoot her" cried the keeper.
'That is old Fifne, the mother of all
the haresp The gun was dropped,
and as the keeper said that the three
or four more hares that came along
ought not to be shot because they
were the children Of Antoine and Fl
fine st. Louis retired to the chateau
in disgust.

peculiar little note of welcome.
When she returned from her wan

see Nero and beheld a sad sight.

the splendid brute lay blind and all

that stared at him. Rosa Bonheur
watched him for moment and then
called 'Neroi" The effect was mag

HIT TIE NAIL ON THE HEAD.
How Es-cepsressman Ranney RID Hiuseif
of Troublesome isedfeilow.

4 a
Of q Troublesome BeslfeiIov.
Ex-Congressinan "A. A. Ranney Of
Massachusetts,, who is accredited
with the leadership of the Boston
bar, gave evidence very early in life
of the strength of purpose which has
characterized his subsequent career.
AS boy twas decreed by his stern
old father that heand an elder broth.
er should occupy the same bedroom
and share the same bed. The future
congressman ,disliked this arrange
ment exceedingly, for the substantial
reason that his brother possessed a
constitutional tendency to kick the
person with whom he CHANGED to be
sleeping out of bed. On cold winter
nights young Ranney would awaken
shivering, to find that his restless
bedfellow had acquired in the course
of an erratic slumber all the bed
clothes and was wrapped up in them
like an Indian papoose. The boy
bore this infection uncomplainingly
for many weeks. Never word said
he in the family circle of the kicks he
was obliged to submit to, or the cold
baths OF freezing temperature which
reused him SO often from pleasant
dreams.
One night, shortly after 12 strokes
had rung from the deep toned bell in
the tower of the Town hall, the
household was awakened by loud
hammering, which seemed to pro-
ceed from an upper room. Father
Ranney hurriedly donned his trousers
and taking good, stout club for pro
lection stole up stairs to take the
thief unawares. The hammering
grew louder as he approached the |
room occupied by his sons. He crept |
softly to the door and listened. Bang
went the hammer again and vet |
again, and with each stroke heavy
nail seemed to have been driven fur
her home.
kanney pere waited no longer, but
threw the door wide open. Astrange
spectacle confronted him. His elder
ION lay fast asleep and snoring on one
ide of the bed. On the opposite side
he future congressman was kneeling
N the floor, busily engaged in nail
ng the bedclothing to the sideboard
f the couch.
What are you doing there9" roar
d the irate father.
Why" replied this extraordinary
10y calmly, I was just fixing these
edclothes so that he couldn't kick
IN of, as he has been doing for tho
ist six weeks"
Then there was scene, but the boy
i'd not lose his temper, although he
omplied with his fathers command ;
remove the nails he had driven
ito the bed. But it is worth noting i
nat shortly afterward he was given /
bed to himself. New York Herald. I
