An Imnrisoned Fish.

A few weeks ago one of the most ex,
traordinary fish ever known came to
light in Devonshire. 1t was a club,
found in muddy pool, and certainly it
was as hideous thing as one could well
imagine. It was imprisoned in sort
of cage formed of roots of an elm tree
that had projected under the water, and
IL had evidently wormed its way into
this prison when quite small. Being
unable to find its way out, it had been
forced to grow in the shape of its cage,
instead of the natural form that all
clubs should take. With no room to
develop, the fish's tail had disappeared
altogether, save for little deformed
stump that had wedged its way be-
tween the roots of the tree. The back
fin had also vanished, for there was no
room for 1t to grow in. The whole
body of the luckless club was distort-
ed and had grown into the gnarled and
twisted form of the root cage. The
scales were incrusted with mud and ar
ranged IN layers, like roof states. II
10 puzzle to imagine how the fish fed
and lived during its growing years in
that watery prison, and what 1t did
when times were hard and no food came
by, 1t seemed contented enough and
was certainly healthy and strong, in
spite of its distorted shape.-London

RouMAN.A's GRAIN CROPS.
Though Smaller Than New York
Sfnfc. Its pr0ductS Arc ImpOrtunt.

Though Smaller Than New York
State, Its Products Are Important.
Roumania is not large country. Its
entire population is materially less
than that of the state of New York, and
its area is 10000 square miles, a thou
sand less than this state. Yet it has
become one of the principal grain ex-
porting countries of Europe.
Since the country was turned into
one of peasant proprietors by the
division of the crown estates, the culti-
vation of cereals, and especially OF
wheat, has increased largely, and with
1t the exports. Last year Roumania
shipped from her Danubian ports 25 per
cent. more grain for export than she
did in 1895, and of this total wheat was
the chief item. Last years wheat crop
in Roumania was 100000 bushels,
which, in view of the size OF the coun-
try, is enormous. Nor is wheat the only
product of this Danubian kingdom, for
corn, or maize, as ii is called there, is
raised to the value of $40, 100000 year,
and the product of barley is $50, 900 tons
year, and Of rye 100000. The i'm
portance of these figures will be seen
when it is stated that there is 80 per
cent. more rye raised in Roumania than
in the entire United Kingdom, and that
the corn or maize crop in Roumania is
larger than in any European country,
xxstl ba nfA ,,ct ria nd oil
The total grain product in Roumania
amounts in year to more than 200,-
100000 bushels, and the average yield
to the acre of cultivated land is rs bush
els, whereas it is only 20 bushels in
France and Germany and only ten in
Italy and Russia. A table appeared
some time ago in one of the European
scientific journals showing the average
yield in bushels of grain to the inhab-
liant in the various countries. In this
computation the United States stood at
the head with an average of 40; Dem
marks average was nearly as large, and
three other countries had an average Of
20 bushels each, Russia, Sweden and
Roumania. The average in France was
20, in Germany 16 and in the United
Kingdom eight. The lowest of Europe
an countries was Switzerland. The
shortage of grain crops in many Eu,
ropean countries has led to an unusu-
ally large demand, of which the United
States, as the chief grain-producing
country of the world, is getting the
largest benefit, but other countries
which have surplus for export are gain
ing some advantages, too, and Rou-
mania is one Of the countries sofavored.
Unlike the other Danubian political di.
visions, it has a railroad system OF
eighteen hundred miles, and it has bet.
ter roads than most of its neighbours

The Acc ar Women.

The common objection among wom-
hnkind TO letting their ages be known
is not shared by the women of Japan,
who actually display their age in the
arrangement of their hair. Girls from
nine to fifteen wear their hair inter-
laced with red Grape describing half
circle around the head, the forehead
being left free with curl at each side.
From Is to 80, the hair is dressed very
high in the forehead, and put up at the
back in the shape of fan or butterfly,
with interlacing of silver cord and a dec
Grafton of colored balls. Beyond 30 a
woman twists her hair around a shell
pin, placed horizontally at the back
OF the head. Widows, also designate
themselves and whether or not they de-
sire to marry again.-Detroit Free

KEEPING CRACKERS.
Some Valuable Advice for Grocers
and Housewives.

Some Valuable Advice for Grocers
and Housewives.
Complaints are frequently heard that
crackers bought at grocery stores are
soggy and stale-tasting, even when
comparatively fresh.
The fault is in the way they are kept.
Crackers demand warm, dry place,
and they should not be stored near oil,
fish or other strong-smelling goods.
Great care should be exercised by gro
GERS in this respect. The cracker trade
is one of the most important features
VI general grocery business, and II
should be taken care Of Crackers
should be purchased in small quantities,
so that they will not have time to get
Etale before being sold. They should be
kept, as stated, in a warm, dry place,
and customers should be advised to
place them in the oven few minutes
before using. This will restore their
crispiness, even though they have be-
come damp and soggy.
All the care in the world, however,
will not build up cracker trade II
the crackers are not pure and fresh and
well made. Be careful in buy
ing to get the best the mar
l<et affords, then push the trade for
all there is in it. One lot Of stale,
pocrly-made crackers will do moro
harm than one can overcome in six
months.-Mercantil Journal.

ANTlPATHy AMONG ANIMALS.
Different Species of Beasts Entertain
n Dislike for Each Other.


a Dislike for Each Other.
The likes and dislikes of animals are
unaccountable. Some horses take
violent prejudice against certain men.
even though they are treated kindly and
though the mans moral character is
fair. Between the cat and dog there is
violent antipathy, which, however, is
not infrequently displayed by mutual
respect, and even affection in excep.
tional cases. The elephant hates dogs
and rats. Cows dislike dogs, and SC
do sheep, and, what seems stranger, are
particularly partial to bears. On the
other hand, horses loath and detest
camels and refuse to be decently civil
to them after long acquaintance. They
even hate the place where camels have
been, which seems to be carrying race
prejudice to an extreme.
Eyolutionists are accustomed 10 ex.
plain these instructive feelings as sur
vivals of ancestral enmities dating from
the days when one race preyed on the
other This would account for the
natural enmity of cows to dogs, for
when cows were wild they were obliged
to defend their calves from bands OF
predatory wild dogs. But why should
the horse like dogs? 1t is but the other
day that the wild horses organized to
defend their colts from wolves on our
western prairies. What could the an.
cestral horse have had against the an
cestral camel of million years agoi
Above ALL why should the horse ap.
prove Of the bear? 1t must be that the
horse has a dormant sense of beauty
and of humor. The ideal of the horse is
grace, combined with strength. He
disapproves from the bottom of his
nature of the hopelessly vulgar, awk-
ward and unaesthetical camel. The
bear, he sees at once, though clumsy, is
unpretentious, truthful, and not devoid
of sense of humor. The dog he
recognizes as good fellow, compan-
ionable and unselfish He therefore
forgets his ancestral predacious habits.
A strong bond between the dog and the
horse is that they are both fond of sport,
whereas camel would not go an inch
to see the best race that was ever run.
The horse does seem little pre-
JUDGED in the case of the camel, but IL
is fine, arstocratic, unreasonable
prejudice he has. And we like him for
himself and for showing that the evoIu.
tionists cannot explain all the senti.
ments of refined and highly organized
animal. Man, of course, they can ac'
count for in every particular.-Hart

House Is Decorated.

House Is Decorated.
There are colors that are refreshing
and broadening, others that absorb
light and give boxed-up appearance to
a room, others that make room with
bleak northern exposure, or with no ex-
posture at all, appear bright and cheer
full; some that make room appear
warm, some that make it cold.
The thermomete, seems to fall six
degrees when you walk into blue
room. Yellow is an advancing color;
therefore, room fitted up in yellow
will appear smaller than it Is.
On the other hand, blue OF certain
shade introduced generously into a
room will give an idea of space. Red
makes no difference in regard to size,
Green makes very little.S
If bright, sunny room gets its light
from space obtruded upon by russell
colored or yellow-palnted houses, or
else looks out upon a stretch of green
grass, II should be decorated in color
very different from the shade chosen II
the light comes from only an unbroken
expanse of sky.
Red brings out in room whatever
hint of green turks in the composition
of the other colors employed.
Green needs sunlight TO develop the
yellow In ii and make it seem cheerful.
If olive or red brown be used in con-
junction with mahogany furniture, the
effect is very different from what it
would be If blue were used. Blue would
develop the tawny orange lurking in
the mahogany.
If a ceiling is to be made higher, leave
It light, that it may appear to recede.
Deepening the color used on the cell
ing would make it lower-an effect
desirable If the room is small and the
ceiling very high. Various tones OF
yellow are substitutes for sunlight

A Queer Graveyard.

Martin, one of the principals of the
famous Rowan county war between the
Martins and Logans on the one side and
the Tollivers on the other. In the feud
more than so men were killed, and the
governor Of the state at one time was
compelled to negotiate for peace with
Craig Tolliver. Martin was taken from
the officers Of the law while en- route to
Lexington for safe-keeping-the Tolli-
yer gang later hanging him near Farm
RS and riddling the body with bullets.

II Adds TO the Beauty of Maid as Well
as Matron.,
There are many things in the lives OF
women which tend TO develop carriage
of the body anything but upright.
Girls who tend the baby become one
sided because they carry the little one
on one arm more than the other. They
might be taught the better way by their
parents or teachers. There are multi
tudes of little girls in all large cities
whose chief business is to tend the baby
while their mothers work. Deformity
is common among them. II a girl has
any pride in being upright in body as
well as In morals, she can, even IL she
has an occupation which tends to make
her crooked, do much herself to pre-
vent 1t. In the first place carefully
cultivate the sense which tells her when
she is standing straight and when she is
not. BY paying attention to this
muscular sense 1t becomes in time
very acute. BY neglecting il the sense
becomes dull-is paralyzed. Cultivate
it daily or several times day by as
Stunning the upright attitude. Stand be-
fore the glass and see when you are
straight, or get friend to tell you, and
then put yourself in this attitude
whenever you stand or walk, or sit at
any labor in which you are engaged.
If you have only TO walk across the
room, do it in an upright attitude. II
you have only to stand and converse
with a friend in the street, on the road,
at party, get yourself so accustomed
to the upright attitude that you will
feel uncomfortable in any other. In
time an upright habit will be estab-
lished, and constant attention to It will
not be equired.-Dietetic Gazette.
