TAME BlACkFISH.

They Come Up Readily to Take Live Min
nows From the Attendants Hand.
The blackfish in nature is shy, but in
captivity, with kindness, it is easily
tanned. In one of the pools of the oity's
aquarium at Castle Garden there are
number Of blackfish, including some 15
inches long and weighing two pounds,
that will take food, live killies, or mill
nows, from the hand. The killie is held
blacktish comes up and takes it, some
moving little warily as though inves-
tigating first so as to make sure that it
was all right, and others coming up
with confidence, taking the fish from the
fingers and swallowing it with smack.
Sometimes a minnow escapes from
the fingers or from the fish that is try
ing to take it and darts away for safety,
with two or three blackfish, sometimes
more, after it. The little minnow sticks
close to the edge of the pool and to the
surface of the water. 1t is thus protect
ed on one side by the wall of the pool,
and at the surface it can swim faster
than its pursuers, and being SO much
smaller it can turn much quicker than
the blackfish. 1t may go half the length
of the pool, hugging the WALL and then
dart across the pool at right angles,
with the big blackfish still after it, So
long as the minnow keeps to the top it
is safe, but if it goes to the bottom tho
chances are greatly against it. In deep
er water the bigger fish can do better
than the smaller fish
Weakfish sometimes become very
tame in captivity One has been known
to lift its head four inches out Of water
to seize live killie held in the hand.

USE OF DRY GOODS.
An Increased Consumption Now as Com
pared With Former Years.


It should be remembered that go years
ago the market for dry goods, taking
the words in a large sense, was much
less extensive than at present. A great
deal of linen, cotton and wooden cloth
was made in families, and mems cloth
Ing was largely prepared by domestic
seamstresses. Homespun was still much
worn. Men and boys who were not af-
flicted with rheumatism did not wear
undershirts and drawers, and the CORE
spending garments were not used by the
other sex till after 1895.
Carpets were unknown among the
poor so years ago, even in the rustic
form Of those made of rags. 1t was aft
er this date that a parishioner of DR..
Lyman Beeoher, seeing neat and gay
rag carpet in the PASTORS house. in
quired solemnly if he thought he could
have all this and heaven too. Ingram
and brussels came into use among the
middle and lower classes in cities about
1880 and in the country 10 or 10 years
later. Cotton goods were very dear in
1890, but have steadily been sinking
ever since as the facilities of manufac-
ture have improved.
Ready made clothing so years after
the Declaration of Independence was
only to be found in seaports or in those
places where there was likely to be at
any time an influx Of backwoodsmen,
boatmen or miners. The stores were
then fami!iarly known as "slopshops, "
and the garments made very little pre-
tense to fitting. Countless varieties of
cloth and multitude of accessories in
the dry goods trade have come up with
in the half century. Before that the
supply was scanty. Men and women in
society in Jefferson's time were we'll
dressed. Their velvets, their lace, their
satins and their gloves would compare
with those of today or were even finer,
but the great mass of the people had
few varieties of material to choose from
and made no pretense Of following the
fashions. They could not.-New York

Every part of the house of commons
Is now lighted by electricity. In Crom-
wells time the commons appear to have
entertained strong objections to debates
by artificial light A Sir William Wild
dington brought in two candles against
the direction of the house and was sent
to the Tower next morning. An inter
rution to debate was sometimes caused
by motion that candles be brought in.
A standing order was passed in 1717
empowering the sergeant farms to
bring III candles without any particular
order. This order has been superseded
by the instantaneous illumination of
the house at the proper time, at firss by
gas and subsequently by electricity.
