An,maIs In La,bach,s Earthquake.

An observer Of animal life has col
lected (our Vienna correspondent says)
number of notes upon tho behavior Of
animals during tho earthquake at Lai-
bach. A railway guard observed that
some minutes before the first shock was
felt his owl, chained to Toulouse,
cried as if for help, and he was with 1t
when the earthquake began. Some for
est guards observed hares running, us II
for their lives, up a hill before the first
shock Partridges flew long distance
A gentleman who spent the night OF
Easter Sunday In carriage saw the
pigeons and hawks on tower flying
round it every time that shock was
near. Sparrows and redbreasts also flut-
tered about and seemed to overcome
their fear of men. The most excited of
all were the horses. They trembled long
before shock occurred, and some fell
on their knees and sides. The dogs
howled the whole night. When shock
was near, their cries were so strange that
they struck the ear as something not
heard before. London News.

DO FISHES TALKi
Here Is Testimony From Man Who
Thinks They Do.

We have heard of the language Of
monkeys, and of the language of hens,
and of the language of crows, and even
of ants, but it will be new idea to
most people, probably, that fishes have
q language of their own. An English
fisherman, Mr. Basil Field, has been
making some Investigations that lead
him to suppose that fishes have some
way Of communicating notion of their
experiences to other fishes.
Mr.. Field carried on his experiments
in the fishponds of Mr.. Andrew, at
Guilford, England. Those ponds are full
of trout, which, at the time when Mr..
Field first visited them, were so little
accustomed to being troubled that when
he threw baited hook into the water
all tho trout in sight--a great number
rushed eagerly upon it. He caught
one, and removing it from the hook,
threw it back into the pond.
Then he put in freshly baited hook,
and only two or three trout came after
it. One of these he caught and threw
back into the water. Again he resumed
his fishing with newly baited hook,
and this time, although the pond was
swarming with fish, it was only after q
long time that he lured another trout to
his bait And after little further
time it was entirely impossible to catch
q trout in this pond.
However, by experimenting in anoth-
er pond equally well stocked and not
throwing back any fish Mr.. Field found
that he could catch trout as long as he
chose The fish did not seem to under
stand that the removal of one of their
number by this strange means meant
danger to them, but came continually
to the bait.
If, Mr.. Field reasons, it is only when
the captured fish, released, goes back
and mingles with his fellows that the
danger is learned, and then is learned
instantly, it must follow that the re-
leased fish has some means of making
the others understand tho perils of the
hook This, whatever it is, may be
called language "-Fortnightly Re

FASHION IN OLD JERUSALEM.

geously Arrayed Indeed.
As far back as seven centuries before
the Christian era there were very gayly
dressed women in Jerusalem. The
Prophet Ezekiel tells of them. They had
garments of silk adorned with broidered
work Their bodies were swathed in fine
linen They had shoes of badger skin.
They wore ornaments of gold and sill
YER, rings in the ears, bracelets on tho
wrists, u chain around the neck, n jewel
over the brow and crown upon the
head
The prophet speaks of the earrings
which were worn by the women of Je-
rusnieYn. 1out rlese ornaments N..ove Won,
by Jewesses ages before tho time of
Ezekiel even in the days Of Moses and,
earlier yet. There were earrings among
the other gifts in the oblation given to
Moses, us described i'll tho book of Num-
bers. The first Biblical reference to
them is in the part of Genesis which
tells how Rebekah obtained as q gift
"golden earring of half shekel weight"
from Abraham's servant, who "put it
upon her face. F" At later period the
patriarch JacOD procured iii INC GU

Job, tho patient man Of Uz, must have
owned lot of them in tho latter part of
his life, for when all his brethren and
all his sisters and all his acquaintances
came to comfort him under his Attic
lions "every one Of them gave him an
earring Of gold, "
In the very early periods of Jewish
history women seem to have been as
fond of dress and decorations as they
arc in modern times. When the daugh-
ters of Jerusalem were appareled and
bejeweled in the way described by
Ezekiel, their garments and ornaments
must have been nearly as expensive as
those of the grand DANES who now shine

SELF DEFENSE.
The Law Relating Thereto Laid Down BY
the Supreme Court.


A United States district judge in
Arkansas instructed jury that every
where except within his own house the
law requires man to run away and do
his best to escape from an assailant be-
fore killing him. The judge further
said that when assaulted on his own
premises, but outside Of his house, q
man must show his sense of danger by
efforts to escape before his plea that he
killed his assailant to save himself from
great bodily harm can be accepted.
This instruction was handed down
from ancient times when weapons of,
assault consisted OF knives, bludgeons,
swords, ETC., which an active man had
some chance of escaping. But it is not
applicable to these days of revolyers
and winchesters, whose bullets no man
can dodge or outrun. and the United
States supreme court has sent it to tho
black letter lumber garnet.
The man sentenced to eight years
Imprisonment by the Arkansas judge
obtained from the supreme court an or
der for a new trial under new instruc'
ton. This new instruction declares that
wherever q man may be, if he has
right to be there and if he has not him.
self provoked the as lult, the law justi-
fles him i'll standing his ground and
killing his assailant provided the PROVE
able circumstances arc such as to salts
fly jury that he had reasonable groundS
for believing and acted on tho belief
that the killing was necessary to protect
himself from great bodily harm.
Putting any further limitation on the
right to kill in self defense would abol
ish it altogether. Arkansas is only ono
of the many states in which man may
have to decide very hastily whether he
shall be tried for killing fellow citi,
zen or let the fellow citizen be tried foI
killing him. In these cases, with hia
attention excitedly fixed on his assail.
ant, he has no time to get legal advice
or to study the necessities Of the situa'
tion through the eyes of bystanders.
Court and jury will do that afterward,
and he is under restraint enough when
he knows that in saving himself from

further peril of having to satisfy jury
that his act as justified by the circum-
stances. Now York World.

STARS ARE IN THE SKY ALL DAY:

The stars are In the sky all day.
Each linked coil Of Milky Way
And every planet that we know
Behind the sun Is circling slow.
They sweep, they climb with stately tread,
Venus the fair, and Mars the red,
Saturn engirdled with clear light
Or Jupiter with moons of white.
Each knows his path and keeps due tryst.
Not even the smallest star is missed
From those wide fields of deeper sky
Which CLEAN and flash mysteriously,
As If Gods outstretched fingers must
Have sown them thick with diamond dusA
There are they all day long, but we,
Sun blinded, have no eyes to see.
The stars are in the sky all day,
But when the sun has como away,
And lowering shadows cool the west,
And call the sleepy birds to rest,
And heaven grows softly dim and dun
Into it's darkness one by one
Steal forth those starry shapes all fair
We say steal forth, but they were there.
Where all day long, unseen, unguessed,
Climbing the sky from east TO west
Tho angels saw them where they hid,
And so perhaps the eagles did,
For they can face the sharp sun ray
Nor wink nor heed to look away.
But we, blind mortals, gazed from far
And did not SEQ single star.
/ wonder If the world Is full
OF other secrets beautiful.
As little guessed, as hard to see,
As this sweet starry mystery.
Do angels veil themselves in space
And make the sun their hiding placer
Do white wings flash as spirits go
On heavenly errands to and fro,
Whilo we, down looking, never guess
How near our lives they crowd and pressf
II so, at life's set we may SEQ
Into the dusk steal noiselessly
Sweet faces that we used to know,
Dear eyes like stars that slowly glow,
Dear hands stretched out to point the way
And deem the night more fair than day.

 It is a trif1e early to discuss sena- torial timber; but as a matter of fact if MT. Reid should identify himself with the interests of Arizona the sug- gestion of the Gazette is not altogether untimely.
