TAME BlACKFlSH.

They Come Up Readily to Take Live Min
nows From the Attendants Hand.
The bIackfish in nature is shy, but in
captivity, with kindness, it is easily
tanned. In one of the pools of the city's
aquarium at Castle Garden there are
number of blackssh, including some Is
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
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 a smack.
Sometimes 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 Blacklist, 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 Blacklist. 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
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 a live killie held in the hand.

CONGRESSMAN White Fines Himself.

Mr.. William Bayne, chairman Of the
Fifth district relief committee, received
welcome letter from Congressman w.
j. White Monday morning. Mr.. White
had promised Mr.. Bayne that in addi-
ton to his other donations to the poor
he would give the Fifth district commit
tee 800. Some time passed, and nothing
was heard from the congressman until
Monday, when the letter arrived from
Mr.. White. The matter had slipped his
mind, the congressman said, but he had
come to the conclusion that slip of that
kind ought to be met with fine, and he
had fined himself $3.50, and would there
fore inclose a check for $3.50 instead of
800. The money will be applied to relief
work at once.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

PSYCHICAL RESEARCH.
MIR. Balfour Declares the Time Has Com
For Science to Recognize Spiritualism.

,,r Ra,four Declares the Time Has Come
For Science to Recognize spiritualism-
A regular London correspondent says
that Mr.. Balfour, the leader of the oppo-
sition, has recently distinguished hlm-
self not only by the delivery OF series
of strong political speeches, but by open
" advocating a thorough scientific IN
vestigation of psychic or splr1tuahstic
phenomena. AS president OF the Society
of Psychical Research he said In an al
dress that he thought the time had come
when the leaders of scientific thought
should recognize that there were Well
attested facts which do not naturally
fall into the framework OF the sciences
or of organized experiences.
The proposed investigation was differ
ent from scientific cross examination
of nature, for they would have to deal
with abnormal or incomplete faculties,
with exceptional conditions in exception
al individuals. He saw no inherent I'M
possibility in such half formed senses be-
ing sporadically developed in the human
race. They seemed to come across hu-
man facts which could not be made by
any manipulation tofit into the interstices
of the accepted view of the psychlcal
world. If that were so, they were engaged
in work of prodigious difficulty. They
had a refractory class of problemsto deal
with, but it seemed to him that at least
they would be able to prove the existence
of an outside world.
There was region not open indeed to
experimental observation in the same
way that the more. familiar regions OF
the material world were open, but from
which some information could be CLEANED,
and if they could not as the result OF their
exertions discover what laws these
strange phenomena obeyed, it would at
all events be something to have shown as
matter of ascertained fact that there
were things in heaven and on earth
which were beyond the philosophy OF
even the most scientific.

What to Leave q Son.

If my choice were free, I would rath-
er give my boy the memory of fairly
happy and untrammeled life up to 20
and leave him nothing then but con-
sequent reasonable optimism, an un-
sapped courage and disposition to re-
gard money as means rather than an
end than keep him constantly face to face
with specter of possible poverty, fill
him full of premature cares and leave
him $1,000 or $4,000 year and no
memories, or well ground, healthy
tastes. or world to live in indeed except
such as he commonly sets out to make
for himself under these circumstances,
which is worse than nothing. -Scrib-

BEWARE OF OINTMENTS FOR GA
TARRH THAT CONTAIN MERCURY,

as mercury will surely destroy the sense OF
smell and completely derange the whole
iystem when entering it through the mu-
cous surfaces. Such articles should never
be used except on prescriptions from repu-
table physicians, as the damage they will
do is ten fold to the good you can possibly
derive from them. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. ]. Cheney & Co., To

ECONOMY IN FUEL.

The Eureka Fuel Econonizer Is a SCI
entifca1 preparation which augments the
intensity OF coal and wood heat In the
proportion of 80 per cent.
If the direction printed on each pack
age is carefully observed, the Eureka
Coal Economizer will give to any crdina-
ry or middling coal the ssaln1e value as
THAT of superior quality
The Eureka Fua Economizer prevents
the shoots, the cinderis and the formation
of smoke, which may spoil, in an apart
ment, SO many valuable articles, such
ais curtains, paintings, etc.
The Eureka burns any kind of gas
which might destroy the breathalble air
apartments and factories in which 1t Is
used are consequently more healthy and
comfortable. In less than FIVE minutes,
one can obtain very brisk fire which
will last thirty hours without being Stirr-
ed up and without any addition of fresh
coal. Hence an economy Of coal, work
and money.
The Eureka Economizer produces a heat
more soft and more conecntrated; when
a normal heat is wanted, the ventilation
must be partly stopped and, again, an
economy in fuel is to be relied upon.
We guarantee THAT our preparation pro-
duces no injurious effect on the hearth,
and does not affect in any way stoves,
ranges, CRATES, etc.
Large consumers can obtain the pro-
duct, which we do not hesitate In term
