THE LIFE OF GRANT.
Probably Without Parallel in the
History Of the World.
How the HauIer of Wood and Tanners
Clerk Rose to BE a Leader of
Men and the Heed of
Great Nation.
written for This Paper.I


The character of Grant is one of the
most unique in all history. 1t is doubt
full if his case can be paralleled among
any people of any. age. Had he died
when Sumter was fired upon the word
failure" would have been properly
written off against the sum of deeds in
the body. Yet he was ut this time 80
years of age and had essayed many
things in his somewhat eventful life, il,
all OF which he was unsuccessful. Ed
ucated in West Point he showed no love
for the soldier life. was careless in his
attire and Oftentimes remiss in his stud
les. Seeing service in Mexico he did his
duty, yet afforded no evidence of su-
periOr skill as an officer or of eXcep-
tional bravery to warrant promotion.
After he was made captain he sowearie,i
OF the dizziness of the camp that he re-
signed and retired to q little farm near
st. Louis owned by his wife. Here he
cut wood with his own hands and hauled
it to town. But he did not have any
taste for bucolic life. Matters went
from bad to worse and he and his family
suffered quiet privation. Equally I'M
successful was his attempt to carry OH
surveying in ST. Louis. Here his father
stepped in and gave him Il position as
clerk in his store" at GaIena. This
work was, if possible, more distasteful
to him than any that had preceded it;
yet he must live and nothing else being
in sight he held fast to it until the out
break of war. At this time he was very
poor and comparatively unknown. He
had succeeded at nothing, and not a
single promise of good seemed held out
to him in the Future
Capt. Grant offered his services to the
government, but the latter gave no heed
to the offer. Later the governor of Hi
nois made him colonel and placed him
III charge of a very unruly regiment.

Fish in the Amazon.

The river Amazon, which drains
nearly the half OF South America,
has the greatest abundance and va
riety of fish. 1t has not one fish in
common with those in other fresh
water basins. Professor Agassiz
found in little pool of few hum
dred square yards 200 kinds ola Pc
culisr fish, three times as many as in
the whole Of the waters of the Mis-
sissippi. In the Amazon itself he
found 1000 different kinds, of which
he knew only $50 before he began
bis Investigations. His wonderful
discoveries made in the waters of
the Amszon proved what he himself
called ga true revelation of ecieEce.o
Their i'm portance may be seen by the
contrast. The number of the spe-
cies of fish on the whole globe known
to Linn@us about century ago was
300; in 1910 Captain Wilkes col
lected only 600 species in a voyage
round the world with three ships !;
but Agassiz saw in five months on
the Amazon alone 1900 species of
fish, nearly 1000 of them new, and
about 90 new genera. The yaca ma
rina, the largest fish inhabiting fresh
waters, and the acara, which carries
its young in its mouth, are denizens
of the Amazon.

A Dangerous Bird.


A dangerous requirement Of pet
blue jay is told about in the Ameri-
can Naturalist, by James Newton
Basket, of Mexico, Mo. The blue
jay referred to somehow learned
that parlor or popping matches
would make a delightful sputter and
flame if properly manipulated.
The bird was 10 the habit OF beat
ing much of its food against some
hard substance, perhaps for the pur-
pose Of breaking or softening IL. 1t
probably treated one of the parlor
matches in this way one day, and so
learned that they made a noise.

A Shark as a Pet.

G. W. Fife, of Tacoma, Wash. has
a curious pet tied up to his boat
house by chain cable. The collar
is not passed around the pets neck
as might be supposed, but is around
its tail.
Mr.. Fife was on the bay off Ia.
coma in boat when he saw a shark
and he harpooned it and towed it to
the pier. The shark was not SER
icasly injured, SO he passed the col.
lar around its tail, fastening tho
chain to the pier. The creature is
now feeding heartily, according to
the Sportsman's Review, and seems
accustomed to its stern fastening.

THE HoUsE-M0THER.
LUCY RANDOLPH FLEMIN,

BIZ LUCY RANDOLPH FLEMING.
Setting tables, washing dishes,
Sweeping rooms and making bread,
busting books and sewing buttons.
Smoothing now curly head.
Making, mending little garments,
In a mothers deftest style,
Washing little hands and faces,
Planning something all the while.
Darning stockings, telling stories
To the group about her knee,
Searching for lost gloves and kerchieis
Nobody can find but she.
Greeting guests and writing letters
Still with woman's dainty art,
Wearing now rose or ribbon,
Pleasing husbands eyes and heart.
Solving some domestic problem,
AS housewife only can,
(When all ways and means seem wanting,
With skill unknown to man.
Trimming lamps or hearing lessons,
Putting this and that in place
Tired feet and busy fingers,
Giving home its nameless grace.
Folding tiny hands together,
Teaching infant lips to pray,
Singing cradle hymns so softly
Mothers work ends not with day.
