A REMARKABLE FISH.

II Was Recently Caught Near staple
ton, :. l.
A fish that resembles an ostrich, be-
cause of its peculiar appetite, was
caught off Stapleton ). |. the other
day, by william Schmeiser, a fisher
man of that place. When he pulled
up his nets he thought he had a big
catch of small fish, but found instead
a monster measuring four feet six
inches in diane ter and nearly round.
When stretched on the beach il
weighed seventy five pounds, and was
the only occupant of the net.
1t was possessed OF most wonder
full mouth, capable of ope ming to the
extent Of twenty-four inches. just
above it were three projections re-
sembling fishing poles, which smaller
fish seem To be fond of, for it is said
the monster lets them nibble at these
projectiles and then takes them into
his capacious jaws.
The fishermen gathered around ant
gave the queer fish wood, stones anC
iron spikes, which it gulped down.
The odd-loolling piscatorial curiosity
was then allowed to die. The aqua.
rum authorities would have been glad
to pay good price for the fish, which
is rarely found in American waters
1t is known as the Ptsrophrynoides
histrio, and also as the toad-fish.

II Is In Cheshire. England, and Has
Only one Resident on Hand.
At a meeting of the Wirral
Cheshire, board of guardians, the
clerk, Mr.. Olive, stated that the town
ship of Netherpool was in a very
peculiar position. According to the
local government act recently passed
any place with a population of three
hundred at the last census must form
parish council. When the last cen
sus was taken Netherpool was filled
with navvies employed in the construc-
tiou of the Manchester ship canal, and
had, therefore, the required popula-
tion. The navvies had gone, and now
there was only one householder liv-
ing there, Mr. Pickering, and he would
have to meet himself in public meet
ing and appoint his wife and daugh-
ters and servants a parish council.
If he had TO provide free library,
public baths, allotment gardens and
burial ground it would be rather hard
on him. The communication of the
clerk caused much amusement and a
suggestion was made that if possible
Netherpool should be added to the
next parish, liverpool, for election

Hot water.

There is custom practiced in
Northern China of using hot water
every morning to wash the face and
hands. Men, women and children
must have basin of clean, hot water
when they get up or before they eat
their breakfast, in which to bathe
feet and hands at least Even beg
gars have hot water, or use none at
all. Seasons do not affect the custom.
In summer, when one would think a
cold bath would be grateful, hot
water is used all the same. No ono
would insult his guest by offering
cold water to wash in. The water is
almost scalding hot, and the towel
for wiping is first used as n wash-rag

PRInARY RESTRICTIONS.

TIE question has many times arisen: What restriction or qualification will be adopted for the government of the de mocratic primary election for county officers. IRE TtoEs favors the same policy for 1894 which the county demo- cracv incorporated in its platform two years ago. The plank referred to reads as follows:
 That we hereby pledge ourselves that the right of any person whatever without reference to past party af1ilia- tions to enjoy all privileges in the party organizations shall not be denied or in any way abridged after such person ayows himself obedient to and bound by the will of the mojOrity."
 We know ofno conditions or reasons why the above should not be re-incor- porated in the platform for 1891. and we heartily endorse it as being in the in- terest of peace and harmony, and as strengthening to the best interest of the county from social, business and political standpoint. TIE TIMES be- lieves that a broad guaged, liberal inyi tation will return many oldtime demo- crats to the fold, and once there they will never again stray away. It is the duty of the party to look after it's fal- len members, and thus strengthen its f0rcps
