Some of that undetermined and cow
ardly personal persecution which drove
Casimir- Perier to resign the Presidency
Of the French republic is now directed
against President Faure. An attempt
is made to discredit him, and If posi-
BILE to force his resignation, because he
married the daughter of a notary who
had in 1S41 fled the country as de-
faulter The future President married
his wife with a full knowledge of her
fathers offense, and she did not bring
a cent of dowry with her. His conduct
in the affair has been that of frank
and high-minded man, and it would be
regrettable indeed if his political posi-
ton should be weakened by such
method of attack. The argument is ad-
vanced by his enemies that sit is impos-
sible that the head of the state should
have a slur on his family" as this
would discredit France before the pow
ers of Europe The idea that France
would be discredited by the honest mar
rage choice of it's President sounds
absurd when one recalls the scandal,
Gus record of French royalty and the:
condition of morals in the royal court.

Sir George Newnes, a London maya
zine publisher who has made million
pounds by legitimate business, has an
nounced his intention to build a yacht
and challenge the New Workers for the
Americas cup. He was formerly Lib
eral member of Parliament and Is a
man Of distinction. But the friends of
Lord Dunraven have begun toward
him the same bulldozing practices by
which Charles D. Rose the London
banker. was driven from the field. The
Yachting World, the organ Of the aris-
tocrats, announced that Newnes "is en-
tirely unknown in yachting circles"
but expresses the belief that che has
more sense than to make the chal-
Ilenge." He will be subjected to severe
discipline and will be a hero If he perse-
veres. The English yachtsmen do not
mean that another race shall be sailed
for the cup.

for Argentina, which has been suffer-

An enterprising Yankee book agent is
making barrel of money in Alabama.
He soon came to appreciate the enthu-
siasm of the negro in matters Of relig-
ion. He found that in all the illustrat-
ed Bibles the pictures of the angels
were in white, and he conceived the
idea of having Bible made for the col
ored race, filled to overlooking with
pictures of negro angels. The books
cost him about $1.1O, but he placed the
first large shipment at $500 each, pay
able $3.50 cash, the balance in monthly
payments. He is selling the Bibles as
fast as he can get them delivered.

Incongruous Friends.

A pretty story Of affection between
a cat and rat comes from the shores
Of Lake Ontario by way of the New
York World. A farmer, who is also a
shopkeeper, found a nest of rats in
pulling down an old shed, and one of
two baby rats stole into pocket of his
coat. 1t seemed SO helpless and trust
full that he could not bear to kill it.
and kept it as pet, feeding it with
meat and cheese, which it took from
his hand.
Its life was in constant danger from
the cat, and to save it he put it into a
large wire cage. By and by the cat
grew accustomed to it's presence, and
finally the farmer one day put the cat
also into the cage. It made one or
two half-hearted attempts to catch the
rat, and then lay down and went to
sleep.
The upshot of the matter was that the
two animals became fast friends. Now
they fairly live together. By day they
wander in company about the house
and shop, or lie side by side in the show
window, where the strange sight at
tracts much attention.
They are very jealous of each. other.
If any one pets the cat, the rat runs
about squeaking with anger. If the
rat is the favored one, the cat in it's
turn bristles and complains. If they
get separated for any great length of
time they are sure to be soon looking
for each other, and sometimes when
they meet they fairly dance for JOY.

STUDY OF THE NOON.

Peculiarities Noted i'm Jss Appearance
at Different 5easons.
To the casual observer the motions
Of the moon appear to be exceedingly
whimsical anG irregular. If It's place
In the sky y. watched it will be found
that it Is first north and then south
of the sLn,s path and west Of that lum-
mary. The1ast two motions are steady
and regular from east to west, carry
ing the moon in its endless swing
around the heavens starting at new
moon near the sun and progressing un-
til at full moon the whole visible por
ton Of the sky separates the two bodies.
After this there are two weeks in which
the moon still appears to move back
ward, approaching the sun from the
other side, then,. again apparently oil
of sudden, it passes the sun and we
behold "new MOON"
The north and south motions of the
moon are entirely different While per-
forming it's endless journey from west
to east there are two special periods in
which it either moves far northward
or takes up it's position low down in
the south. In spring the first motion is
north, but afterward the general motion
is reversed. In December you will note
that the full moon occurs at the most
northerly point in her course and in
June at the most southerly. This is
why we have most light from the full
moon Of winter and least from that of
summer. Observations on these various

FISH CLIMB TREES.

Queer Occupation for Members of the
Finny Tribe.
CAS- unhappy as fish out or water
should be used with a reservation. On
the coasts of eastern Asia one may
often see the climbing bass Or "Anabas
scandens'' deliberately leave the wat
cry element to take pleasure or
business jaunt along the seashore. The
Malays call this queer fish ''the tree
climber" and quite correctly so, be-
cause specimens have often been taken
from the sides of trees which they &C.
tually climbed to height Of six feet or
more.
While the silvery herring and the
lovely salmon die almost as soon as
they leave the water, the climbing bass
gets along very well with very little of
the nasty brine-the little which the
