"A Trained Shrimp.

A Tioga, Pa. man has probably the
most curious pet ON record. 1t is moth
ing more nor less than a trained shrimp.
One would scarcely believe a shrimp to
be possessed Of any intelligence, yet
this little c%rustacean. whom his maker
has christened Neptune, really seems to
be a O observing little chap. Nep-
tune is the pride of quite Il large
aquarium, in which he rules supreme.
He is very fond of music, and when his
master places a mouth organ against
the glass side of the aquarium and
plays, Neptune shows every manifesto
ton of joy. He hops around on his tail
and twirls his body as though dancing
to the time of music. and when the
strains cease he places his little nose
against the glass as though begging for
MORE. His favorite airs are a Life IN
the Ocean Wave" and Rocked in the
Cradle of the Deep" Neptune's mas
ter has a little stick which he places in
the aquarium, and the shrimp will play
about this for hours, standing on his
head, turning handsprings and doing
other equally remarkable things.

AS a persistent and tireless Ques-

everyone who came within his range,
and with appalling capacity for greedy
absorption Of facts. He asks the rail-
way magnates what salaries they are
paid for their official services. He
asked the president OF the Pennsylya-
mia Railway Company to give him the
gauge of his railway and rebuked him
for not giving it accurately to the half
inch. When a lady newspaper CORE

Cn-American Names OF Hotels,

A~mericanism in the naming of New

Brunswick have lately been closed. We
have the Empire and an Imperial. but
no Republic. We have the Windsor
and st. James. but no White House,
Monticello. Montpelier or Washington.
There are Mt. Eernons in many cities.
but they are generally of an inferior
class. We have n Marie Antoinettc, but
no Martha Washington. We have a
Holland House and Savoy. Nendome
and Normandie, and st. Cloud and
GrenOble. In other American cities
there are a few American, United
States and Congress houses, but most
Of them were named a great many
years ago. and Washington houses are
generally Of the third class. Are tray
