No other fish like it has ever been
noticed by naturalists. Its nearest
relative, however, seems to be the

known as the Dory. Tho zeus faber

examination of the new fish, however,
seems to indicate that it may be of the

NEW FISH DISCOVERED.
Most Beautiful That Has Ever Been
Noticed by Naturaiists.

A new fish, unlike any other in many
respects and of extraordinary beauty
in coloring, has been discovered. 1t
was found by Captain jacobson, of the
schooner Wenoma, who caught as pee
linen while fishing on the banks
twenty-eight miles south.southwest OF
Cape Flattery. The fish was 263 inches
long, II inches deep and about inches
thick.
1t was beautifully colored, and in
it's richness of shades surpasses any
other fish which has yet been found.
The top OF the head IS of brick red,
the back of metallic blue, shading to
aluminium color on the belly. The
meridian line is strongly arched and
marked by series of large scales.
Pure roun1 white spots are dotted over
the whole Of the fish.
In other respects the fish presents
an uncommon appearance. Its fins are
strong spined and extend nearly the
whole length of the fish. The spines

CARE or COFFEE AND TEA pors.

A terrible mistake Of housekeepers
is to leave the coffee pot and tea pot
on the back of the stove to steep all
day. 1t is fruitful source of dys.
pepsia and indigestion. Never set ten
aside unless in glass jar or pitcher
for iced tea. Heated over, it is simply
vile. Coffee, if you must economize
that way, SHOULD be poured off into a
bowl or pitcher and covered closely.
Over the grounds pour cuptul OF
boiling water, shake and let simmer
three minutes, then pour into the
bowl, and throw the grounds away
and wash and dry the coffee pot. This
will insure you sweet coffee. TO make
the coffee, grind fine the necessary
amount, pour the liquid saved care
fully into the pot, 80 as to not stir
up the grounds. In teacup mix one
tablespoonful of coffee to each person,
"and one for the pot" with half the
white of one egg. When the liquid
is boiling dash the coffee in, stirring
briskly for q moment. Fill the pot
with boiling water-measured, mind
you, one cup for each-and set to
