FISHES THAT ARE QUIET.
Singular Facts Regarding Several Speci

Singular Facts Regarding Several Speci-
mems Of the Finny Tribe.
"a great many of our well-known
fishes do not move from Christmas to
Easter, and often for a much longer
period" says writer in Our Animal
Friends Il paid visit to the chief
Canadian fish hatchery. which is under
the superintendence of Mr.. Wilmot. at
Newcastle, Ont, early in December.
In some of the tanks were carp and in
Others were eels. One large eel was
in the form of a letter S, and poised
midway in the water; when l returned
to Newcastle early in March the eel
had not changed its place or its form,
and Mr.. Wilmot assured me that It had
not moved in all that tine. The carp
lay close to the bottom of the tanks
and did not move either. They like to
go into deep. reedy lakes or ponds, get
close to the bottom and remain there
till the ice above their heads has
melted. Unless they are disturbed, /
doubt If some of these alternating
fishes move so much as a fin during the
winter. A frog viii remain for four
months looking apparently into the
heavens with wide-open eyes without
once moving them or any other portion
of his body.
"At the New York hospital they re-
lated to me a curious occurrence bear
rag on the Information Of fishes. In
the conservatory in the upper part of
the building they had several glass
Jars in which were goldfish, which is a
species of carp. One morning the care
taker found a jar broken and the water
frozen through and through. The
lump was taken away and thrown into
an old rubbish barrel, where it re-
manned several weeks. One March
day the sun was unusually strong and
it split the cylinder Of ice. but what
was the astonishme1t of the caretaker
to see the tail OF fish wriggling out
of part of a broken block. The actual
freezing had not killed the fish, which
was removed to another tank, where
it swims about as if nothing had be-
fallen it"

Trapping n Robber.

A curious story is told by the Vienna
correspondent of the London News A
young man, the representative of a
large firm, who carried large sum of
money with him, recently spent the
night at hotel at Presburg. Asusual,
he remained some time smoking il
bed. Suddenly the burning cigar fell
to the floor. He bent over to extin-
guish it, when he saw hand projected
from under the bed to put the cigar
ont. 1t made him very uncomfortable.
He lay awhile and then saying, aloud:
SLOW very cold; shall get my fur
coat, he jumped out of bed, flew to the
door and called for help. The would
be robber was caught. He confessed
he knew the occupant Of the room had
money, which he hoped to get while he
slept. He had been a fireman former
ly, and could not resist the impulse to
extinguish the burning cigar.

was about quarter of a mile from

A Story Concerning the Early Life of

A story is widely quoted that Phillips
Brooks, when about to graduate, went
to the president of Harvard college for
advice regarding the choice of a pro-

'.It is wei in such case to lay aside
impossible professions. Now, ON ac-
count of the inpediment in your speech,
you could never preach.
This is SO good story that it is a

WARRANTS AT 5 PER CENT.
The State Will Make an At

PRISONERS MAKE HARNESS,
But a Suggestion Is Made
That They Be Worked

BISMARCK, N. d., Jan. 21.-State
officers we're in conference in regard to
the best method of tiding the state over
its financial difficulties. A law of 1891
gives authority TO issue funding war;
rants to the extent OF $4,000 at rate
Of interest not exceeding s per cent, for
the pul pose of meeting legislative and
other state expenses and to paywarrants
as they may be presented. The auditor
and treasurer have consulted with finan-
clal institutions of the state, and find
that these warrants can be t1oated at
about 5 per cent. Accordingly reso-
luton was introduced in the house re-
questing estate officers to do this. 1t
passed the house without opposition and
will pass the senate. The resources Of
the state are abundant. The low limit
of debt and taxation are the only
trouble, coupled with over-appropri-
ations two years ago, though none were
particularly extravaganza.
A strong protest was filed with the
house today. signed by Bristol q Sweet
and other manufacturing concerns of
Fargo, against the employment of prison
labor in competition with the manu-
featuring interests of the state. The
prisoners are now employed in harness
making. 1t is suggested that they might

honor of Mrs. Senator Hansbrough. de-
ceased. The remarks OF Senators
Gregory. Burke, Day and Stevens were
especially touching. The latter spoke for
the women present. Maj. Edwards also
spoke with deep feeling, his remarks
being especially noticeable OH account
of feeling akin to enmity heretofore
existing between the major and Senator
Hansbrough. In introducing the mat
ter, Lieut.. Gov. Worst's remarks were
noticeable for depth of feeling and
beauty. Representative Simpson intro
duccd resolution for the appointment
of committee to confer with Mime

ing to the taxation OF sleeping cars.
Maj Edwards suggested an amend
ment with q view to taxing express
companies also.
The women's suffrage bill was re-
ported favorably. with Senate Bill No.

for vote in 1895. The bill is quite
likely to pass the house.
