Suppose, for the sake of argument,
we accept the inequality Of the sexes as
ono of natures immutable laws; call it
fact that women are inferior to men
in mind, morals and physique. Why
should this settle or materially affect

How They shoot the Nile Rapids.

Arab boys are expert swimmers, and,
like boys i'll general, are fond of display
ing their skill before strangers if only
they are rewarded by some small coin.
Mr.. Eden tells how they shoot the rapids
of the Nile.
Seating themselves astride of log OF
wood about six feet long and buoyant
enough to support them waist high out
of the water, they ride it with the seat
and gestures of jockey, and with both
hands and feet keep it straight with the

ing man hurried along amid such o
boil and turmoil of waters, but once al
the bottom they have a hard struggle
to induce their horses to turn out of the
course.
To do this they avail themselves OF
the impetus acquired by the log in its
shoot, and throwing themselves full
length upon it they seem. with sudden
stroke from the left leg and arm, to
drive it and themselves out Of the cur

To fail in this would be dangerous
even to Arab swimmers. Immediately

TAME BLAcKFlSH.
They Come Up Readily to Take Live Min
nows From the Attendants Hand.

They Como Up Readily to Take Live Min
nows From the Attendants Hand.
The blackfsh 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 a
number Of blaelfish, including some 10
inches long and weighing two pounds,
that will take food, live killies, or min
nows, from the hand. The killie is held
Just under the top Of the water and the
blackfish comes up and takes it, some
moving little warily as though inyes-
tigating first so as to make sure that 1t
was all right, and others coming up
with confidence, taking the fish from the
fingers and swallowing it with n smack.
Sometimes minnow escapes from
the fingers or from the fish that is try
ing to tako it and darts away for safety,
with two or three blackfsh, sometimes
more, after it. The little minnow sticks
close to tho edge of the pool and to the
surface of the water. 1t is thus protect
ed on one side by tho 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 the
chances are greatly against it, In deep
or 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.
