A Fish Story from Africa.

''Domingo's nose took a Grecian turn; he
scratched his head, and uttered a few ex-
pressions in negro dialect, says a writer in
Harper's Young People. Then he made
a bait with Goldfish; but alas, the little
fishes didn't like salt cod.
''This time Domingo was at his wits
end. Corned beef, sardines and Goldfish
were everything that there was eatable on
board. He sat silent and detected.
These little fishes would no doubt like
fresh meat said to Domingo.
Il haven't any, he said, sadly.
Make some fresh meat | said. And
you may believe me or not, as you like,
but he did With sharp knife, from the
the thick part of his heel, little at one
side where the hard flesh joins the tender,
he proceeded to cut a little morsel with
which he baited his hook. It was appa-
rently what the little fishes wanted, for
they pecipitated themselves upon it vora-
ciously. The results were most satisfac-
tory And an hour later, in serving me a
delicious dish of fried fish, Domingo said,
proudly:
Didn't I tell you they were good to
eat?
" Excellent I answered.

CHURCH MUSIC.
A Guild Endeavoring to Make the Services
Sweet, Simple, Seraphic and Singable.

A Guild EndeavOring to Make the Services
Sweet, Simple, Seraphic and Singable.
A bishop was once invited to preach at
a small rural church in his diocese, and
was very much impressed by an anthem
sung during the service, says a London
correspondent. On inquiring after the Gel
ebrat ton the name of the piece he was in
formed by the organist, who CHANGED to
have sneaking fondness for light music,
that the melody was Tommy, Make
Room for Your Uncle" set to slow
tempo in a minor key. Probably this in
cident occurred before the formation of
the church choir guild, otherwise known
as the guild of church musicians, which,
as was explained at the annual dinner in
the Holborn restaurant, has for one Of its
objects the advancement of church music
by means of lectures, competitions, festi-
walls, organ recitals, and the like.
In short, the society aims at making
the musical portion of services in the
churches of this country sweet, simple,
seraphic and singable; but Bishop Mitch
inson, as one of the post-prandial speak
ers, thought that more might be done in
this direction in rural places of worship,
the music at which was often calculated
to lower the rents of the adjoining houses
and int1ict grievOus mental harm on the
unfortunate congregation. Give US" he
said, music that is simple and within
the power of the churchwarden's wife
who presides at the organ and the local
choriSters, and we shall all feel much
more pious' DR.. Francis Pigou, dean
of Bristol and president of the guild, who
occupied the chair, advocated organ re-
citals in churches where really fine in
struments are in use, and mentioned that
the society was growing apace and doing
yeoman service throughout the land.

THE RED PLUSH CAR SEATS.
Used by Many Railroads on Account of Its
Lasting Qualities,

The red plush car seat is one of the
time-honored institutions of the railroad
service, and few cars are upholstered in
any but that color. Some of the roads
have broken away from the stereotyped
color and on special trains have adopted
old gold, blue, olive and other simple col
ors. But the roads cannot get away from
the old favorite, which has survived the
changes which occur in almost every de-
partment of railroading.
why is plush SO widely used by rail
roads," remarked prominent plush
manufacturer to reporter. because 1t
never wears out The plush covering Of
car seat will last on an average at
least ten years. But even then when it
has to be removed it is not worn into
holes. 1t has been torn, or stained, or
faded, and for this reason and no other
the seat has to be recovered. The rail
roads have often tried substitutes. One
sometimes sees wooden or willow-ware
seats, but none are so comfortable as the
old-fashioned cushion, and SO the latter
triumphs to the end"
VERY expensive pushes are used by
some companies" remarked railroad
man. Stuff worth no less than So or 81
a yard. Railroads go to this expense
partly for luXuriousness, but also because
the finer and costlier materials will wear
longer. The plush seen in the passenger
cars of the Pennsylvania and Reading
railroads is worth from $40 to $50 a
piece, or 81 to $125 a yard Most of it
is domestic material-the Reading rail
road gets it's supply from Pawtucket, X.
I. The Pennsylvania railroad, however
makes some importations on it's own ac-
count 1t would surprise you to know the
amount of plush that a railroad company
uses up in it's repair shops. The up
holsterer OF a big railroad has a great
room fitted with rolls of new material
ol, Il rlJ1t
new face on the old. The Pennsylvania
railroad has in some years given it's order
for 10000 yards of plush, while a com
pany like the Philadelphia & Reading will
pay $4,000 to $4,000 a year for plush
used in repair work alone. "-Philadelphia
