FISHES ON THE MARCH.
Peculiar Varieties That Travel Across the



Travellers in South America are some
times regaled with wonderful stories
about the overland trips of certain
fishes, and in many instances the &c.
counts have been substantiated, es-
pecially in the cases of the Doras and
llichthys-catfshes common in the
tropical South American streams.
These fishes exist in vast numbers in
the streams and pools, and, like their
East Indian allies, they start in a body
overland, presenting a most singular
appearance, especially to those who
have never seen fish out of water by
its own volition.
Another catfish, known as the
Tangsa, in South American. waters, is
often seen on partly submerged logs,
apparently having the habits of frog
or lizard. In England the familiar lit
tie fish known as the blenny has a
curious habit of basking N the open
air at times This was frs noticed by
a naturalist named Ross. who kept
several of the fishes in an aquarium.
He had great difficulty in making them
stay in the water. At certain times
during the day they would make des-
perate and often successful attempts
to get out. Finally, upon the advice
of friend, he placed a stone in the
tank so that part of it was exposed,
and out upon it climbed the blennies.
They seemed to require air, and from
choice spent part of the time out of the
water. Singularly enough, this was
during the ebb tide, the period when
they would naturally be left high and
dry in the pools along shore.

Courtesy to, Children.

Harper's Bazaar very truly says that
all the training and disciplining in
the world, if given in the form Of ar
bitrary directions and commands, will
not make children well-bred and
agreeable. Mothers sometimes think,
or act as if they thought that courtesy
in the home must be entirely one
sided affair. The small boy must not
interrupt conversation, he must step
softly, speak gently, remove bis hat
on coming in, spring to restore what
some older person drops, run his little
feet off on errands, always say thank
you, and never indulge himself in the
least expression of irritation, but no
body is obliged to be equally polite to
him. Ordered as if he was not as SEN
sitive to wounds, and as easily hurt as
his elders, his pursuits regarded as DINO
importance, his convenience overruled
or set aside at the caprice of his tutors
and governors, the little fellow often
has hard time of it while he is grow
ing up. Parents who are intensely
proud of their children often refrain,
from a mistaken idea that praise is in
iudicious, from commencing them for
what they do well, while blame is
swift to leap out and scorch the mem
DRY on any slight obcasion. The child
who will be most courteous through
life is the child who has been treated
with courtesy, who has spent the form
ative years of life in sweet and gen.
ial atmosphere, and been moulded not
so much by military rules brusquely
enforced as by the genial influence OF
serene tempers and the blessedness Of
good examples.

Ex-senator Butler on Tillman.

Columbia, S. c., Sept 21.-Ex Sen
ator NJ. G. Butler passed through the
city yesterday, stopping over during
the afternoon. When asked if ne had
anything to say about Senator Till
mans attack upon him in the conven-
ton, he said: 'No, sir; ] believe not.
Ny consideration for his brother,
George D. Tillman, who is manly
man, a gentleman and always strikes
right out from the shoulder, never hit
ting below the belt, restrains me from
saying great many things that l
could say. I have denounced Ben
Tillman to his face as a coward, liar
and thief and he did not resent it.
If I should kick him now he would
howl like a spaniel and doubtless in
dict me for assault and battery. You
know, you can't keep up with con-
stitutional liar like he is, and I shall
leave him to enjoy all the glory he
can gain by attacking man behind
his back, when he has no opportunity
to reply. His statement, so far as it
relates to me, is a tissue of falsehcods
from beginning to end Here is one
specimen. He refers to an interview
between Gen. Gary and Gen. Ruger
at Edgefeld, on the day of election.
Gen. Ruger was not at Edgefeld at all
and the statement is a pure fiction
He is equally at fault about the second
Republican meeting at Edgefeld. His
account of what occurred is fagrant
Misrepresentation Of what did occur.

ONE OF LleE'S MYSTERIES.
Why Some People Pass Empty Car Seals
an,. , ruwJ Those Partially Occupied.

ant. ruwd Those Partially Occupied.
"Tacrc is one thin. that has always
been mere or less OF mystery to me-
said Il ,r,:vcler to writer fo- the New
York sun. and that is the motive that
prompts some passengers IN car IN
which there are entirely vacant seats
to take Il seat with somebody. In some
cases the reason for this Is simple
enough; it may be that the person
takes the first seat he comes to and is
satisfied; it may be that the vacant
entire seats are at the other end OF the
car and not seen at casual glance;
sometimes person unaccustomed to
travel rather timidly takes the first
seat at hand; but the person that l
have in mind is the one who either de-
liberately, or with what one might call
deliberate thoughtlessness, takes
seat with somebody when there are
vacant entire seats in plain sight. l
have seen. for instance, a man sitting
by window, alone in seat, in a car
in which there was plenty OF room.
reading Knowing that there was
plenty of room he had perhaps sort of
preenptcd that seat, and was making
himself comfortable in it, and was
thinking of nothing but his reading.
Along comes rather stout lady, who,
though there is more room elsewhere,
for some to me utterly Incompetent
sible reason, decides that she wants
to sit in that particular seat. She
moves silently. She halts in the aisle
az the end of the seat, and slowly
moves in so that she can sit down.
She says nothing to the man. She
does not even look at him; she has not
looked at him since the moment that
she decided to take that seat, and he is
as yet unconscious of her presence.
Looking straight ahead with great
calmness, she sits down deliberately.
Then the man looks around with
panied sort of look. He moves closer
to the window and goes On reading,
but he won't regain his inward COM
posure for an hour. Now why the
lady should have taken that particular
seat is one of the things that I don't
understand -

Praise Your Wife.

Praise your wife, man; for PHYS
sake give her little encouragement;
it won't hurt her. She made your
home comfortable, your hearth bright
and shining, food agreeable-sor PHYS
sake tell her you thank her: if nothing
more. She don't expect it; it will
make her eyes open wider than they
have these ten years, but it Will do
her good and you too. There are
many women today thirsting for
words of praise, the language of en-
couragement. Through summers
heat, through winters toll, they have
drudged uncomplainingly, and so &C
customed have their fathers, brothers
and husbands become to their monoto-
nous labors that they look for and
upon them as they do the daily rising
of the sun, and its daily going down.

full by an appreciation OF its holiness.
