THE ROGUE AMONG FISHES
A Degenerate Type of the Eel In Crowded
Communities.

Communities.
An exception 10 the general rule in
regard to the numbers Of vertebr4n is
found in the case OF the eel. Eels in
habit nearly all seas, and everywhere
they have many vertebrR. The cells of
the tropics are at once more specialized
and more degraded. They are brtter
cells than those of northern regions,
but, as the eel is a degraded type they
have gone further in the loss Of struc-
lures in which this degeneration con-
sists.
1t is not well 10 push this analogy
too far, but perhaps we can find in the
comparison of the tropics and the cities
some suggestion as to the develop
ment of the eel.
In TIE city there is always class
which follows in no degree the general
line Of development. Its members are
specialized in a wholly different way.
BY this means they take to themselves
a field which others have neglected.
making up in low cunning what they
lack in humanity or intelligence.
Thus, among the fishes, we have in
the regions Of closest competition this
degenerate and non-fshlilSe type, lurk-
ing in holes among the rocks, or creep
ing in the sand, thieves and scavengers
among fishes. The eels thus FIJI a place
otherwise left untitled. In their way
they are perfectly adapted 10 the lives
they lead A multiplicity Of vertebral
joints is useless 70 the tyr cal fish, but
10 the eel, strength and suppleness are
everything. No armature Of fin or
scale or bone Is SO desirable as its
power Of escaping through the smallest
opening. President David Starr Jor-
dan, in Popular Science Monthly.

The greed of the steam laundrvmen

washees has put the civilization around
us back one slept 50 that the old-time
washerwoman is once more in great
demand. Whether it is the acid, the
steam laundrymen use or, as some say.
the machinery with which they save
time and labor, the fact is that they
wear out fine linen faster than poor
men and women can replenish their
wardrobes.
ne rich of course have their laun-
dry work done at home, where their
linen achieves that dull gloss
which is called homemade finish, ''
and is much sought after by the
steam laundries because il is so differ
ent from the high polish that China
men put on their work. But both kinds
of laundrymen manage 10 peel the
outer skin off cuffs and collars and to
bring about fearful gaping wounds
where the bosoms of shirts ought to
join the bodies. Therefore the young
men about town are now hunting wash
erwomen, and some old, familiar street
scenes of twenty years ago are coming
back, such as the women with big
baskets in the residential districts and
in the street ears, to say nothing of the
miles Of fine linen futtering on the
pulley lines behind the tenement
houses.-Chicago Times.

A Nearly Extinct southern BIRD.

Not many years ago the South Caro-
lima paroquet could be found by the
thousands throughout the southern
states, but with the bison and the pas
senger pigeon they have been nearly
exterminated by the ruthless hand OF
the pot-hunter. w. A. COnklin, in New
York, had a small flock OF these birds.
In speaking Of them he said they were
caught in the Everglades, where few
focls may yet be found in the densest
part OF those swamps. Probably some
four or five fioclSs remain, so that they
are rarely seen. The birds are large
for paroquets, being OF an emerald
green body, with a yellow neck, while
the upper part Of the head is bright
scarlet. One peculiarity Of those birds
l. that they elastor together like a
swarm Of bees. II was this habit that
made them such easy victims OF the
sportsman-save the terml This peeul-
iarity can be well noticed in Conlxlin's
cages, where the birds all cluster To-
gether at the back Of the cage, show
ing beautiful mass Of green and gold
and scarlet.-N. Y. Tribune.

At Beyreuth was noticed for stme
time tlat two goats always kept close
together, one being specially watched
and guarded by the other. ON inspec-
sion 1t was shcwn that one goat was
blind, and its companion, evidently
knowing this, attached itself to its
poor afflicted friend and acted as its
guide, showing untiring watchfulness
and care. IL any difficulties had TO be
overcome, or any precipices to be
avoided, the faithful friend was GER
tain TO be seen at the side Of the blind
goat, tenderly guiding il. This
But one day IL was noticed
that the blind goat was left TO its own
devices and quite forsalken by its for
mer companion. How was this? Had
the faithful friend in affection grown
weary Of its self-imposed charge? No,
the blind goat had recovered its sight,
and, therefore, was unnecessary.
In the same neighborhood trout were
reared, and they were transferred, ac-
cording TO their age, from smaller
reservoirs refreshed by a running
stream. A naturalist took great inter-
est in these fish and fed them from
long handled spoon. Soon all the trout
regularly waited his arrival and
stormed the eagerly loolSed-for spoon.
But their was one poor fish which was
either pushed aside or missed its way

CHOLERA MoRBus.

A Health Comn,Issioncr's Advice How 70
Prevent Attacks.
The great prevalence Of attacks of
cholera morbus or cramps during pro-
tracted hot spells" said health com.
missioner recently, renders timely a
little advice about the first treatment
of such cases when they occur.
First send for doctor. But there
are remedies which. administered in
the commencement of the attack, give
relief, and all the physician has to do
is To give a mild corrective for the
stomach.
Camphor water Is the simplest and
most easily used remedy. A teaspoon.
full may be taken by an adult and re-
peated every fifteen minutes until the
doctor arrives. Children must be
given smaller doses in proportion to
their age. As water can take up only
a limited quantity Of camphor, no harm
is likely TO come from the free use of
this remedy.
Paregoric is another simple remedy
and may be used in doses of from one
half to one teaspoonful for adults. re-
peated every half hour The opium
in this preparation makes necessary
more care i'm its use by those who are
not physicians.
In addition to the remedy taken the
sufferer should remain quiet and the
stomach should be given n rest from
food or cold liquids. The latter should
especially be avoided, as intensely ir-
ritating TO the stomach in its disturbed
condition.
Cholera morbus generally results
from eating unripe fruit or from some
article of food only partly or improper
ly cooked. Many eases, not caused APP
parently by indiscrction in eating. are
due to sudden changes in temperature.
or exposure 10 draughts. Persons seek
the coolest spot possible, and the Gus
tomary light clothing worn is no pro-
lection To the stomach and bowels.
which seem especially susceptible TO
temperature influences at this session
of the year. A catarrhal condition is
the result, much the same as one has a
cold in the head in winter time.
As preventives care should be taken
in eating and drinking. draughts
should be avoidcn. and the stomach
region should be protected from sud.
den changes from heat to cold. The
services of a physician are generally
needed even after the acute stage OF
cholera morbus to assist the restora-
tion Of the stomach TO its normal con-
dition.-Baltimore sun.
