Marine Music a Eailnre.

Until some recent discoveries by Pro
fessor Saussier of Vevey, Switzerland,
it was not suspected that fishes were at
fected by music. In shallow inlet Pro-
fessor Saussier found queer arrange
ment Of strings III the water which de-
manded examination Viewing the af-
fair from a distance with water tele-
scope he saw that some fishes, which
had, by the usual painful method, gain
ed possession Of several fragments Of
fishline, were passing them around two
sticks thrust into the water by some fish
erman. When the strings were strung,
the stakes were wedged apart by piling
stones between them so as to tighten the
strings, three or four fishes rolling a
stone along the bottom with their noses.
The operation was necessarily slow.
The professor watched it at intervals for
two or three days.
Finally, when allwss ready, the lar
gest fish seized a stick on bone, and,
using it as plectrum, twanged--the
strings with it, while the other fishes
gathered around to hear the music. Of
course, there was none, as the sub
merged strings refused to sound. After
several trials the fishes tore up their wa
ter harp in disgust They had probably
caught their idea from Aimee Saussier,
the professors daughter, who was in
the habit of playing harp by the bank.

The Young Ladies of the Ballet.

The young ladies who have acquired
from long practice the faculty of stand
ing about unconsciously and impervious-
" in drafts with bare legs, arms and
shoulders do not charm the gentlemen
of today as they fascinated their fathers.
The foyer lives upon its ancient fame,
and is still curious to look at, but it has
fallen from the high place which once
belonged to it III the life of Paris.
When first saw it, the gathering was
in its full glory. Almost miserable as
was the room, with its dirty, sloping
floor corresponding with the incline of
the stage), its low ceiling, and its air Of
general discomfort, the scenes that went
on in it, the words that were spoken i'll
it, and the people that frequented it,
were absolutely apart; nothing like
them was to be found elsewhere. The
mixture of brilliancy, of elegance, of
dance, of sparkling talk Con the side of
the men), of lovemaking and Of laugh
ter was prodigious. Neither natural
nor experimental chemistry has ever
produced a more intimate compound Of
fantastic elements. 1t was social and
moral syn thesis III its intensest form.
At that time the habitues Of the foyer
were convinced that they could not live
without it; it had become necessary to
their lives. The present generation man.

Abraham LIncoln,s Peach.

A young lady sends TO the Chicago
Tribune a little anecdote of Abraham
Lincoln. She says that a good many
years ago, when her father was small
boy, her grandfather brought Abraham
Lincoln home one night to supper. He
was then poor young man practicing
law in Woodford county, Ills.
1t was a cold, stormy night, and
grandma hurried around getting supper.
To have something nice, she opened a
jar of preserved peaches. Lincoln spent
. long time over his .neach and finally
left it on The plate.
Grandma noticed this, and as soon as
he and grandpa had gone into another
room she went to look at the dish. Then
she saw that instead of peach she had
given the visitor the little muslin sack
which contained tie peach kernels and
the spice. She FASTENED into the other
room and began an apology, but Mr..
Lincoln said:
"That was all right, Mrs. Perry. My
mother used the same thing, and it was
so good that l wanted to get all the
juice ont of it. "

An Illustration of the Improvement In
the Means of Communication.
Writing upon the subject of "The Ro-
nance of Our News Supply, Mr.. W.
G. Fitzgerald tells story about the
death of President Lincoln which strik-
ingly illustrates the improvement effect
ed in our means of communication dur
ing the last 80 years. In those days
there were no Atlantic cables working,
and news of the shooting of the presi-
dent and his subsequent death had to
come by steamer. All night after Wilkes
Booth fatal shot had been fired Reu-
ter's agent at Washington waited for
the announcement Of Lincoln's death,
which was known to be imminent.
The president passed away at 80 the
next morning at the very moment a
great steamer was leaving for England.
The energetic agent hired a fast tug and
pursued the departing steamer until he
was near enough to cast on her deck a
tin canister containing the mourntul
tidings. This was the only intimation
of Lincoln's death received in England
by the mail 1t was the custom in those
days for swift yachts to meet the in
coming Atlantic liners off the coast of
Ireland. Tin cans of special construction
were thrown overheard by the officers Of
the steamer and picked up by the yachts,
after which the messages were conveyed
with all possible expedition to tie near

DISLIKE NEW CLOTHES.
Trainers of Animals Run Risks In Appear
ing In Them.


..It is strange thing. said well
known trainer of animals, chow many
outbreaks and accidents have resulted
from a trainer wearing d strange cos
tune. Quite recently lady performer
who had made some alterations IN her
dress had narrow escape. The tiger
with whom she usually appeared turn
ed sulky from the start, and at last abb
solutely refused to do one of the tricks.
Its mistress urged and threatened to no
purpose, and finally attempted to use
the whip. The moment she attempted
to do so the Infatuated animal flew at
her, and if it he'd not been for boar
hound which was erforming with them,
Miss S. would probably have lost her
life. The brave dog snapped at the tiger
and distracted its attention until his
mistress had succeeded in making her
escape. Unfortunately he was injured
by the tigers claws. F"
"How do you account for such out
bursts?"
1.-The tiger evidently did not recognize
his mistress in her change of costume.
As a rule, very few alterations are made.
The same dog always appears in the
same act, and so on, the idea of ac-
quaintanceship and familiarity thus be-
ing maintained. Why, even if hat or
wrap happens to lie within reach out
side the arena the animal is sure to see
it at once, and if it can get at it will
promptly tear it to pieces. "

About a year ago lion tanner i'll
New York wore full dress suit instead
of his usual military costume at one of
the performances. As soon as the lion
saw the change of clothing he made di-
rect at him. Now lions do not, like
tigers, try to kill instantly, but strike
out with their paws to knock their ene-
my down. In this case the lions claws
caught the trainers face, inflicting Sc
we're injuries. But he is still at the bust
ness, though the scars of the struggle
are very plainly visible. >"
"Do these outbursts ever have fatal
results:"
Sometimes. Another lady performer
made an alteration in her dress that dis
pleased the tiger with whom she was
acting, whereupon the savage beast
pounced upon her, killing her instantly.
This animal has never been allowed to
perform since. Nineteenth Century.
