Fish that Sing.

4 species of fish known as the 'ssing-
ing shad' are often seen and heard
along the Atlantic coast, especially in
early spring and late in autumn.
People of the Georgia and Florida
coasts declare that they come from the
north, while those of Delaware Bay and
Long Island Sound are equally certain
that the little piscatorial oddly is a
southern denizen. They go and come
in vast schools and only emit their
musical notes while travelling from
place to place, and then only when the
wind ceases to blow and the waters be-
come smooth and quiet. Persons who
have heard the singing shad say that
the noise it makesis one hard to initiate
on paper, but that it is something like !:
Wee no, he hi DO de; we no, die di
dunn.
The singing Of single representative
Of this musical species Of fish is very
weak, entirely too feeble to be heard
above the ripple Of the waves.
On the Bolivian coast there is a sing
ing fish Of large dimensions; another
makes his home in Japanese waters.
In all countries where they are known
people will not catch or eat them unless
pressed by extreme hunger.-,I. Louis

Origin Of Il Marriage Custom.

1t is said that the practice of the
wite's assuming the husbands name at
marriage originated from a Roman GUS
tom, and became common after the
Roman occupation. Thus Julia and
Octavia, married to Pompev and Cicero,
were called by the Romans Julia of
Pompey and Octavia of Cicero, and in
later times married women in most
European countries signed their names
in the same manner, but omitted the
"of'
Again this view may be mentioned
that during the Sixteenth, and even the
beginning of the Seventeenth Century,
the usage seems doubtful, since we see
Catherine Parr so signing herself after
she had been twice married, and we
always hear of Lady Jane Grey mot
Dudley and Arabella Stewart mot Sey-
mour.j Some persons think that the
custom originated from the scriptural
teaching that the husband and wife are
one. 1t was decided in the case OF Bon
VS.. Smith, in the reign Of Elizabeth,
that a woman by marriage loses her
former name and legally receives that

A Standard Bearer.

IN the crusade inaugurated nearly half a CEN

the old school of medicine, Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters a standard bearer. Its victories
over disease, when the old time specifics proved
abject failures, proved that the pseudo philoso-
ply which sanctioned the administration of
violent remedies where the required none,
which laid down as unaltcrable rules blood

Cattle Smothered by Snow.

The late blizzard, which caused such
loss of cattle and sheep in Wyoming
was peculiar one, III that the snow
filled the nostrils Of the animals and
smothered them. 1t was wet snow,

thermometer below zero. All the cuts

A Dyspeptics' Club.

Among the queer clubs that mans
sociability and eccentricity have
created, there is one in New York that
deserves more attention than it has re-
ceived. It is called the Dyspeptics'
Club, and eligibility for membership
demands a doctors certificate stating
that the applicant is suffering from
stomachic weakness. Tie object of the
club is to promote cheerfulness among
dyspeptics and to furnish the members
the latest results Of science in treating
indigestion. The best medical journals
are to be found in the club-room, and
several physicians are among it's mem
bers, for dyspepsia sometimes invades
the ranks of it's enemy. But the club
cuisine is it's strong point. It prides it.
self on furnishing to the most afflicted
dyspeptic meals that nourish while they
do not nauseate, cookery that wars
against melancholy and does not tax
the disordered digestive apparatus. 1t
is needless to say that no alcoholic
beverages are served at the Dyspeptics'
Club, and no member is allowed to
smoke unless the house committee
deems it advisable in his case.

HOBBY OF A SINGER.
TOsti Makes and Upholsters Chairs and
DivanS with His Own Hands.

Divans with His Own Hands.
Like all great singers Signor Tosti in
dulges in a hobby, and that hobby is
upholstery. With dexterity which
even a professional could not surpass
he makes with his own hands and up
holsters most beautiful chairs of every
shape and design, luxuriant sofas and
graceful divans. Even the rare collec-
ton of photographic photographs which
the famous composer possesses have
been framed by himself
Oh many of his songs over 900, 900 cop
les have been sold and the printing pres
ses have not stopped running yet. The
most popular piece has undoubtedly
been "For Ever and For Ever" bid
Me Goodbye has had an exceptional
success. In America the ''Venetian
Song has been most appreciated by all.
It was in 1879 that Signor Tosti first
came to London, without any intention
of remaining in the metropolis. The
maestro, however, became acquainted
with the Duchess Of Cambridge, and he
stayed to sing to her almost every day
until she died. A portrait of the Ouch
ess which she presented to him bears
the following inscription in French,
written by her own hand: '"To dear
Tosti, who, by his talent, has lightened
the suffering of my declinings days."
