One of thequeerest denizens OF the

erly he called an archaeological won.
der, is the gouramis, the famous nest
building fish Of the oriental seas,
These fish are very plentiful IN the
waters of Cochin China, Java, Su-
matra and Borneo. At the breeding
they pair off like birds, and selecting
a favorable spot in shallow water
among aquatic plants and grasses
build large spherical nests Of floating
weeds and plaster them over with
mud. The broad, fiat fins used N
this last operation are attached to
the abdomen and are wholly different
from anything in the fin line known
to naturalists. The full grown fe-
male gouramis is 6 feet long and

Themovements of the press gallery

doubtless the safest barometer of the
Importance of the doings on the floor
below. If the gallery seats are well
taken up, something is surely tran
spring in the chamber that is worth
watching. If they are empty, the
proceedings are apt to possess no in

and the visitors galleries may be
overlooking, but the curiosity seek
ers do not possess the delicate in
stinct of foretelling impending crises,
and if the press gallery be empty,
though expectancy be written on ev-

We are reminded Of the various
uses to which aluminium can be put
by the receipt of a neat lead pencil
made of that metal from the manu-
facturers of @Garlandn stoves and
ranges. The souvenir is three-cor-
nered, fitting tho hand nicely, and,
being as light as hardwood and as
strong as steel, is a very acceptable
article. Aluminium was quite costly
when first discovered, but is gradual
" becoming cheaper, and should it
ever become cheap enough there is no
end to the uses to which it could be
put to advantage; for bridges, armor
plate, ships, etc, 10 better metal has
been discovered, and while most clay
contains aluminium, the principal cost
is in its extraction from the clay. Ex-
pertinent has proven that aluminium
mixed with iron makes the latter met
al pour smoothly, and prevents blow
holes and liability Of cracking, and
benefits the iron in every way. As
"Garlando stoves and ranges are
made of this mixture, and as more OF
them are made and sold every year
than any other stoves, is proves that
The Michigan Stove Company's
methods are the best.

Snow is sometimes found in Polar

Snow is sometimes found in Polar
and Alpine regions, where it lies un-
melted from year to year, and the an
nual fall is small, colored red by the
presence of innumerable small red
plant. In its native state the plants
consist Of brilliant red globules on a
gelantinous mass. Red snow was OBJ
served by the ancients, a passage in
Aristotle referring to it, but it attract
ed no attention until 1760, when
Sanssure observed it in the Alps, and
concluded that it was due to the pol
len of plant. 1t was also noticed by
the Artic Expedition under Captain
Ross on -Baflins Bay shore on range
of cliffs, the red color penetrating to
depth of twelve feet. Less frequent

It is one of the inexplicable things
connected with business that man
advertises literally when trade is
good and refuses absolutely to adyer-
tise when trade is dull. The thing
to do, of course, is to advertise all the
time; to keep everlastingly at it; but
if he is going to quit at any time, the
time to quit is when his trade is
booming. He can better afford to
quit then than when times are hard
and customers scarce. Under the
latter circumstances people are look
ing for bargains and trying to make
one dollar possess the purchasing ca
pacity of a dollar and half, and they
must be appealed to by attractive
and well-written advertisements.

A shrewd Preacher.

A preacher advocating the support
of a charitable object prefaced the
circulation of the boxes with this adj
dress:
From the great sympathy | have
witnessed in your countenances, there
is only one thing am afraid OF that
some of you may feel inclined to give
too much. Now, it is my duty to in
form you that justice should always
be prior virtue to generosity, there
fore I wish to have it thoroughly
understood that no person will think
of putting anything into the box who
cannot pay his debts"

ROSA BoNAEuR,s LION.
This Great French Artists ret Model yYhi

This Great French Artists Pet Model Which
Died In Her Arms.
Rosa Bonheur loves the animals
she paints and is IN turn adored by
them. She showed her recent pup
chase, q magnificent lion, who pulred
and writled like a gigantic cat when
his owner fearlessly stroked lis
mighty head. Then, showing the
head Of most superb specimen Of
the African lion transferred to can
vas with startling realism, she tells
the story of Nero. He was her first
pet lion and was reputed untamably
ferocious and lived for several years
in the garden at By. At last one day
Rosa Bonheur was about to travel
and disposed of Nero to the Jardin
des Plantes. She parted with him
reluctantly, for he was a great pet
and would greet her always with
peculiar little note Of welcome.
When she returned from her wan
behring's, two years later, she went to
see Nero and beheld 9 sad sight.
The poor creature had not been so
carefully tended as he was used to be
at By. Ophthalnlia had set in, and
the splendid brute lay blind and all
ing, unheeding the curious crowd
that stared at him. Rosa Bonheur
watched him for a moment and then
called ''Nerol' The effect was mag
ical. The lion rose to his feet, ut
tered his accustomed note of vel
come and sprang toward the well
loved voice with such impetuosity
that the shock against the bars sent
the sightless brute rolling, stunned,
back on the floor. The great artist
took him back, soothed his last days
with tendance and petting, and final
" he died in her arms at the foot of
the staircase at By, his huge paws
clinging to his mistress, as if implor-
ing her not to forsake him in his
death struggle, and his last move
ment being a feeble attempt to lick
the hands that held him with such
infinite tenderness. You see, said
Rosa Bonheur as she meditatively
ruf1ed her new lions name, ito be
really beloved by wild beasts you
must really love them. - Paris Let

Once more the cry of "no quorum"
has for several days tied the House
hand and foot, while all the time
there have been many more than a
quorum of members sitting in their
seats, but only those voting who fay-
ored the pending legislation Repre-

of the seigniorage in the treasury.
This may be craftsmanship, but, re-
CARELESS of the merits or dement's of
the measure under consideration, it
strikes most unprejudiced minds as
being mere boys play. It is not pre-
tended that the fllbustering is in
dulged in with the hope of defeating
the bill, as it is generally admitted
that the measure viii pass as soon as
its disciples can get a quorum Of

are several days absolutely wasted
for no other reason than simply to de-
lay the passage of a bill, which is GER
