The sticklebaok is. handsome, lively
little fish which is found in salt and braek-
ish waters. There are several varieties of
the stickleback, which ranges from one to
four or five inches in length at full growth.
1t is o most building fish, the male stickle-
back building the nest Of bits of plants
and twigs, and when the female has de-
posted its eggs in the nest the male pro-
tects them against all corners, including
perhaps fish of its own kind, until they are
Matched. The little stickIeback is fight
er, and it does not hesitate to tackle fish
four or five times its size that might seek
to destroy it.
And it would appear that the male
sticklebuck not only protects the eggs, but
looks out for the Matched out fish, at least
until the little sticklebacks are able to
take care of themselves A lot of little
stioklebacks have lately been Matched out
at the aquarium. They are of variety
that attains at full size length of about
two inches. The other day when two or
three of the little ones, each about a quar-
ter Of an inch in length, had found their
way out Of the nest or had been washed
out of it by the motion impaired to the
water by the stickleback swimming about
over it the male stickleback put them
back. They could swim little, but APP
parently the 1nalo stickleback thought they
were not yet strong enough to set out for
themselves, and it followed each one up,
picked it up carefully in It's mouth and
swan back with 1t and put 1t back in tho
nest,-New York Sun.

QUEEN WcToRIA's REAL ESTATE.

The announcements that Queen Vic
toria is to leave, by will, Osborne house
to one daughter. the lease of AuEergeldie
house to another, and Balmoral, the roy
al residence in the Highlands, to the
duke of iConnaught, recalls the fact that
the manlwho would dsvour this particu-
lars widows house must make an IN
comm only full meal. 1t was discovered
a few years since that the queen owned
900 houses in various parts of England,
not royal residences, but yielding
property, and that about 5000 houses had
leaseholds held Of the queen. She then
had also rents from markets and tolls
from ferries, besides the proceeds of
mines and other works upon her property
or the crown property. She had largo es-
tates in Yorkshire, Oxfordshire and
Berks, valuable lands IN the Isle of Man
and in Attorney Scotland, Ireland and
Wales. OF the New Forest there are 1000
acres of absolute and SO acres OF contin-
gent crown property. Her majesty en-
joys income from the Forest of Dean,
from several other forests and from rich
properties in and about London. Os-

or Of ths last aanled palace is occupied
by other members of the royal family.
Other royal palaces maintained as such,
although not in the occupancy of tho
queen, are Kensington palace, Hampton

has one great house or another, with
whatever repairs and refurnishing are
necessary to fit it for temporary royal
occupant, although for all this she pays
out of her own income. Bagshot house,
Gloucester house and Clarence house are

Everybody in church seemed TO be on
their best behavior. The Clergyman
preached u short, sensible sermon, to
which the duke and duchess paid the
greatest attention, and the service only
lasted little over an hour instead of
the usual two hours. The ducal couple
then lett the church and took a short
drive. returning to the palace at about
lunch time, not to leave it again for the
rest OF the day.
There are quite number of hotels in
the little town at the palace gates and
good ones too. These are kept going by
visitors to the castle. The hotel keepers
are at present getting ready for the in

As out on her whirling wheel she sped,

CHAPTER Ill

A heavy rain had been falling all
day, and reports from above spoke Of
high water coming down. Although
Gottlieb had long since lost all hope Of
ever again steaming down the river on
the Schiller, for high banks had formed
between his farm and the river, yet he
always read with interest accounts of
high water. A dark night set in and
the rainfall increased in volume. The
old engineer raised steam, as usual, and
the bow Of the Schiller pressed against
the edge of her narrow AdsAnes. Henry
took his accustomed place at the wheel.

The boat had moved. The rain fell
in such volume that no rush Of water
could be heard. Henry's eyes stood out
in a wild stare. The boat moved, Ca

shot forward.

l think the London Truth gives q
good hint to people who appropriate
what they know does not belong to
them. This comment should be read
by many. 1t points to facts.
Henry Labouchere, in London Truth,
says "On the morning of Mrs. Castles
sentence a seamstress and governess
were'sentepced at the same sessions to
nine and six months hard labor for
stealing fur necklet, and neither had
ever been previously convicted. The
governess tainted at the sentence. No
medical experts testified that they
were okleptomaniacs; no eminent council
suggested that they would suffer in
health by confinement; no one pitied
them; no one signed petition to the
hame secretary to shorten their SEN
t5nce. What matters how poor,
f.inting, frienGless governess or a half
starved seamstress suffers? Give them
hard labor and plenty of it. What if
their health is injured? Let them die.
Let Mrs. Castle out of prison, Sir Mat

not. They are poor and helpless,
