Here" said the scientist, wiping his
knife on his scaly apron, lis a pickerel
that was taken from the water. three
weeks ago on one Of the coolest days that
we have had this winter. 1t was taken
from the hook and thrown upon the ice.
Its blood was almost as cold as the ice,
and consequently when dragged into the
bitter cold air it topped just once and
was frozen as stiff as poker In that
condition it has remained ever since"
With deXterous motion he chopped
off the head, fins and tail of the fish, and
with one slash of the knife along its side
it was ready for the frying pan. When
laid on a stove near by, it commenced to
thaw out, and as the frost left it it began
to flop and tumble about as if just taken
from the water. Finally it fell off the
stove on the floor and to all appearances
died. d.-Lewiston Journal.

The Wake Walked the Corpse.

The particulars of an extraordinary
case of trance which was mistaken for
death are published by The Irish Times.
Last week young man, aged %, named
Garrigan, living at Ballinacree, near
Oldcastle, was believed to have died. He
mad been ailing for some time, and all
the appearances of death were shown,
so that no doubt of his decease was enter
tanned The usual wake preparatory to
burial was begun, and a number of
helghbors had arrived at the house to
snare the night watches. Suddenly signs
oi animation were observed in the appar-
entity llfeless body. Five minutes later it
was clear that the young man had been
N trance and was ON the way to recover
ing his senses. The occurrence created
great sensation. Many of those present
ned from the house and would not re-
turn All were deeply moved, and the
scene for some time was one of intense
eScitement.-St. James Gazette.

There salmon are caught with kind OF

even more. The slightest wind ruffles
the m water so that it is impossible for the
fishermen to see where the lance is strik-
ing. a few drops of oil come into plav
to good advantage. They dissipate and

a sIecca Caravan Seized bv Aro,s.

Hag Ahmet-el-Assal, a pilgrim lately
returned from the Mecca pilgrimage.
has been narlTting the terrible expo
rlences OF his party to the editor of ma
tive Egyptian paper called The Mokat-
tam. The Pilgrim, whose respectability
Is vouched for, we are told, by an Egyp-
tan sheik who is greatly respected in
Cairo, declares that on returning from
Mecca, the ''rafilat," or detachment of
the caravan to which he belonfed, and
which was composed of about 700 cam
els, left Bir-Said at daybreak and halted
at sunset at the foot of a mountain, on
the road to Yamboo
A few minutes after arriving there the
ratlat, composed of men, women and
children, found themselves attacked by
Bedouins of the desert, who attacked
them with the utmost savagery, Staying

not, dry sand was wet with blood. Some
OF the women, after being robbed of their
clothes and valuables, were left to their
fate. The younger and better looking
ones were carried off as slaves. With !

The poor pilgrims so cruelty outraged
had actually paid pasters each and 90
plasters each for their camels to the gov.

Growing Defects of the Modern Eve.

An enormous amount of statistics is
accumulatlng regarding the modern eve
and its relation to disease. 1t has been
abundantly proved that under the influ-
ences of civilization this organ is under
going decided change, and that often it is
not at all equal to the work which it is
called upon to perform. Referring only
to the subject of refraction and accom-
mediation, Roosa and Emerson have
shown that only about one person in ten
has an emmetropic eye, the remaining
nine being hyperopic or myopic. Among
the school children of Antwerp Nets
found that @ 13 per cent were shortsight-
ed, the percentage increasing with age
and being greater in girls. In London
Stephenson found that among l ,149 chill
dren 1.97 per cent of the Christian and
1868 per cent of the Jewish pupils were
myopic.
In the German gymnasia the percent
age ranges from % to 5S. In New York
the percentage ranges from 3.55 among
young children to 1858 among the adults. |
IN Philadelphia schools the general laver-
age was 1877. In Chicago the myopia |
ranged from 400 to 27.OS. In our col |
leges the percentage ranges from 35 in
the freshman to AZ in the senior year.
Among classes whose occupation does
not tax the eyes the percentage of myopia
is only or 3, and the average for civi.
Azed community may be taken to be
about per cent. Thus it seems that the
population of a civilized country starts
naturally with only about per cent of
shortsightedness, and that this increases
until among some classes every other
man is myopic. York Medical

On business PrincinIes.

| Years and years ago Night Clerk Val
lette of the Coates House spent his mid
summer vacation in little town that is
situated i'll the most obscure part of
Kansas and boasts of population of 12G
bona fide citizens. The day after Val
lette's arrival he was introduced to the
editor OF the local paper, who gave him
a personal and an invitation to sub
scribe to his paper. Vallette paid 81 for
years subscription and thought no
more about it.
AS the novelist would say, the weeks
deepened into months and the months
into years. Every month brought fresh
copy of the Kansas paper. Vallette sell
dom saw 1t and never read it, He never
renewed his subscription and even for
got the editors name.
The other day the collector of a local
bank called at the Coates House and in
formed the astonished night clerk that
he had come to collect draft for SIG.
Vallette declined to pay the draft and
telegraphed the Kansas editor that there
must have been some mistake, as he
owed him absolutely nothing.
Yesterday Vallette received marked |
copy of the Kansas paper, which con-
tained among other interesting news this
eloquent editorial leader: The meanest
man on earth is the man who receives
and reads his weekly - for number
of years and then refuses to pay for his
years enjoyment. We need only say
that such men will continue to receive
their - every week. We run this pa
