the older of the two was paying an after

and they had spent a couple of hours in
delicious discussion Of all the shortcomings
and failings of the other members Of their

sketch, he does SO. But what is still more
wonderful is his power of rapidly changing
his color to the tone of his surroundings.
This faculty is possessed by nearly all
fishes, and is exercised for the purpose of
facilitating concealment from enemies or
prey; hut, in the case of the swell-fsh, it
Is particularly striking because you can
see the change momentarily. When SWIM

olive green, which is rapidly faded out
by the suppression of the pigment cells of
his skin when he sinks to the bottom, until
there is no color about him distinct from
that of the sand excepting the brilliant
blue and orange Of his eyes, which glow
like pair of gems.

But the swell-fsh is excelled in the gift
of mmicry by his neighbors, the founders,
of which there are dozen in one tank,
ranging from six to eighteen inches in
length, SO nearly invisible as they lie with
a little sand scattered over their backs

there is nothing there to see. 1 say their

would be useless if it remained there, comes
round to position beside it's fellow, and
the structure of the adjacent parts of the

the knowledge. that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that il is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order TO get its bene-

a great favorite on account of it's beautiful
coloration, its hardness in the aquarium
and its curious habits. During the breed
ing season, as soon as the eggs are laid,
the male constructs a nest To protect them
as they float upon the surface of the
water. He seems to have the instincts of
an American buiiCirg contractor, for his
material is of the flimsiest. He merely
goes to the top, gulps in 4 mouthful of air.
then swims below the eggs and lets 1t go
up in a succession of tiny bubbles, which
spread over the surface and effectuaily
conceal the transparent mass of ova, or
the Wrigglins fry when they are Matched.
1t requires diligence to keep 1t in repair, but
building ma terial is cheap, and his time Is
divided between blowing bubbles, capturing
in his mouth the hayward members of his
family who stray from The precincts of the
nest, and driving off the mother fish, who
only wants the opportunity to become a
cannibal. He makes also an occasional raid
upon a neighboring nest for the sake OF
excitement and to increase his family, and
then there is apt to be fight, in which the
contestants display ferocity which is all
out of proportion to the small amount of
damage they are able to iniiict. This pug
nacity is a prominent family characteristic,
and the paradise fish has q relative which
is cultivated in Siam solely on account of
the propensity of the males to fight.
Matches between these fishes are arranged
by the natives and upon the result are
often staked the money, the goods and
chattels ana even the families of the bet
tors.
Peacefully D1spOsed.
In another aquarium are a score or more
of fishes, which are more disposed toward
peace. though it is peace based upon a
perpetual preparation for defense. They
are the swell-fish and the burr-flsh, near
relatives and possessing very similar char
acteristics. The swell-fish has a unique
shape and peculiar ways. He Is f1at-bot-
toned, as a sailor man would say, with a
nearly quadrangular midship section ana
sides which tumble home rapidly as they
rise, so that he is very broad on the bot
tom and very narrow on top, like a ff
teenth-century man-of-war. But his spe-
Cialty is his ability to distend the loose
skin on his abdomen with air or water
when frightened or irritated until he is
two or three times his normal bulk and
looks like base ball with small fish at
tached for a sort of handle. To permit
sketch to be made of this popularity, the
gentleman in charge of the aquaria, Capt.
Heron, caught one of them with a dipnet-
liberty which is usually sufficient to
cause very prompt and excessive disten-
sion-but they have been subjected to such
variety of indignities since they were

Many men, says the humorist

that generally stays there, be-
cause man has not time to cut
it off. 1t may be there to button
to mans heavier trousers to
keep him from soaring too high.
1t was recently discovered that
the thing had some strength. Col.
II. G. Guild, of the Sheridan Sun,
had just made up the last of his
sixteen editorial pages, and lifted
the forms onto his Webb perfect
ing cylinder press, He gave the
word to his third assistant fore
man, and the great piece OF ma
| chinery started up. Colonel Guild
was still in STOPPING posture
when he suddenly discovered
that his flip flap was wedged I'M
der the chase. He is stout man,
but it took all his strength to
hold back and brace himself a
gainst the drag of the press. AS
it was, the tiip-hap would not let

| pulled out by the roots and
| ground into homemade sausage
among the press's cogs but the
colonel was saved. No more du-
laps on his shirts. The fip-fap

fourteen as accessories to murder
and nearly 5000 for various other
violent crimes against persons.
I Among the rest, Is clergymen
were hauled up before the mag
