His catship's home at the fair had
been a narrow tank, SO that he would
not have much of a chance to swing
his tail with sufficient power to do
any damage. His reputation for amia-
bility was not above par, and when
it came to moving him %precaution was
taken to prevent him hurting any one.
This p%recaution consisted in wrap
ping a folded cloth around the fish's
head before any efforts were made to
lift him out of his abiding place. The
cloth was made fast, it was supposed,
and then the word was given to those
assembled to perform the task to
heave away.
They heaved right royalty and so
did the fish. At last he had room ac-
cording to his tail. Over went men
and fish on the floor and the number
of revolutions the terrible tail made in
a moment would put any respectable
fly wheel to shame. All hands rolled
around the floor, the fish landing
every time he struck. 1t was the pref
test fight Omaha ever witnessed. The
beauty OF 1t was, too, the police
couldn't stop it, not even the fish's
tail. If Sharkey should ever hit Cor
bett with anything like the force with
which that fish struck his antagonists
there would be a new champion right
away.
There were really three men il this
boat and a pretty bad boat it was to be
in. The more the fish struggled, the
stronger and wider he seemed to get.
Presently his tail went sideways with
a swish. A second later John Mere

HABITS AND HEALTH
Good Rules for One Man May as
Very Bad for Another.

There is another kind of asceticism
which is nearly as foolish as neglect
of food, and which is enforced not by
ones own well-guided or misguided
judgment, but by external opinion.
Almost all men have certain ways"
of living which they have found con-
ducive either to health or work, and
a very large section of them suffer
greatly from a torrent Of criticism
for those ways. There are men who
never need exercise, or, as Mr.. Cham
berlain says is his case, do much bet
ter without it, and if they escape q
minatory lecture once week they
are greatly favored by fortune. There
are other men, quite numerous. who
benefit by exercise in big draughts
but not in homeopathic doses, who
exert themselves furiously once a
week or during an annual holiday,
but for the rest of their time benefit
most by bodily torpor. They are not
scolded because, as rule, they are
considered too far gone for that opera
ton to be beneficial, but they are
habitually and very openly disbe-
lieved. They are talking nonsense,
it held, on matter they know moth
ing about.
There are thousands of English
men who are never at peace if theyare
not warm, and are told by all sincere
friends that they are killing them
selves with "coddling;;" and tens of
thousands who can neither think nor
work unless they are cool, and who are
pestered by everyone who knows them
about wraps. We used to lecture one
old gentleman ourselves because he
would ride on omnibusses, wanting,
he said, ssfull air." and the lectures
did not stop when at 81 he was more
hale than the lecturer at is. Modern
biographies are particularly imper-
vious to reason on this point. They
note at once the smallest departure
from the usual in the habits of daily
life, as if it were an alteration, never
thinking that their victim probably
knows himself great deal better
than they can know him, oris obeying
an instinct as deeply planted and as
beneficial as that which induces a dog
occasionally to eat grass. There are
men, Scotchmen and Scandinavians
no doubt mostly, who simply must
"get into the cold" for few weeks
every year, who thirst for it like q
Swiss for mountains, and there are
thousands of women who would live
to be 100 if they could only have q
month year in a place where they
were warm all through. To condemn
such instincts as self-indulgence, I'M
less they conflict with clear duties
is foolish.-London Spectator.

70 Anericanize lie Navy.

Detroit Tribune.
On a man-of.war discipline is
everything, and being constantly
under the eye of the officers makes
duty rather irksome to the proud
spirited sailor lad. With all the
discipline, however. it is doubtful
if a navy manned with aliens
would fight with the same grit
and energy as crew Of patriots
such as manned the American
ships in 1913 and 1914. Along
the coasts of the country are thou
sands of men who make but a pre-
carious living by risking their
lives in the fishing trade. They
have the aquatic instinct, and
farming is dull drudgery to them;
but the fortune of the sea is driv-
ing more Of them into the factor
les and out on the farms every
year. 1t would seem that these
men should be encouraged TO take
service in the navy. With suit
able pay and a chance of promo
ton through the merit system
they would be glad of the chance
to serve their country. If their
enlistment on large scale could
be brought about, the United
States navy would be manned
with crews as brave and as clever
as any fleet which sails the seas.
