PsprSka Recently Caught.
6. A. Gninand, OF the Nadeau hotel.
San Francisco, was fishing at Santa
Monica when he caught what at first
sight appeared to be solid lump Of
gold. When the prize was safely
landed it proved to be a specimen of
the japanese fish known as the pap
raka, and by experts it is said to
be the first of its kind ever caught on
that coast.
The fish is a beautiful creature, be-
ing exactly the color of FURNISHED
gold and of graceful contour. Tt is
about nine inches in length, five
inches in width and about one and
half inches thick The head is short
and the mouth small, but full of rows
OF sharp frontal teeth The dorsal
fin is of short length, but is sharply
serrated, and continues along the
back, ending in larger fin, which, in
connection with a corresponding ons
underneath the body and the tail,
gives it the appearance of three
tailed fish
A remarkable feature of this beauti-
full fish is that it Is furnished with two
distinct sets Of gills. The eyes are
prominent and blight yellow in color.

Escaped by Smuggling Corpse From
Mexico.
In Mexico. when a foreigner dies
and his friends desire to send his
body to his native land, the govern
ment exacts tax OF $3.50 for the
privilege of shipping it over the rail
road. In 1884 Larry Flaherty,
brakeman, died at Silao, on the
Mexican Central He was a poor
fellow. His mother, who lived in
Colorado, but who had come on to
nurse him, wanted h4s body shipped
home She eouIdn't false the money,
and the boys took up a collection. but
could only raise 81. Then Tom
Williams, a jovial conductor, put up
scheme to get the body to the States.
The funeral was conducted in the
usual manner, and poor Larrv's body
was placed in the ground. Two pesos
fixed it with the gravediggers, and
they neglected to fill in the grave
until after dark. In the interim
LarIy's body was taken from the
coffin and placed in an old
sack and carried to an obscuEs hut,
where it was placed in a tru3Il1 and
taken to the depot. The boys had Sc
cured pass to FL Paso for Mrs. Fla
hertv, and Tom Williams went along
to carry out the scheme. At Paso
del Norte the trunk was taken to a
casa de huspedes, or boarding house.
and the corpse was again transferred
to the sack Mrs Flaherty went to

mated About 10 o'clock Tom, with
his peon cargedore, managed to get
across the river without attracting
attention. Larry's body was tenderly
placed in the box and taken up town
to the undertaker's, where it was pro
perly prepared. placed in a casket
and shipped TO his old home. Tom
Williams returned to Silao safely, and
was ever afterward known as the

The hearing of Emperor William of
Germany is impaired by the huge
wads of cotton wool with which he is
forced to pack his ears They do not
constitute the most agreeable or
comely feature of this physically
afflicted monarch, and one of the most
cutting remarks concerning them was
that made by Bismarck when he
sarcastically remarked that he was
glad, on the whole. mot to possess
the ear of his sovereign.

Napoleonss custom to glance over the

was sensitive to cold and a fire was
prepared in every room even in mid
summer. Then of distinguished peo-
pie awaiting an audience he would
designate those whom he wished to see
after which he would rise and take
hot bath, lasting about an hour. The
daily shaving was the next duty. Or
diaaFily his physician, Corvisart,
would be present, chatting and secur-

greeting was usually some badinage,
such as, ''Ah. charlatan. How many
