EATEN ALIVE.
A Fish Tint Watches Its Own Demolition
IL a Japanese Delicacy.

The most dainty dish TO the japanese
epicure is none other than "a living fish.
This horrible delicacy is served as fol-
lows: Resting on large dish is mas
formed of rounds of glass held together
by plated threads, on which is "a living
fish with gills and mouth moving rogu-
larry. AT its back rises IA bank Of white
shreds resembling damp isinglass, but
in reality colorless Seaweed, while the
fish itself rests on damp green alga. In
front is pile of small slices OF saw iish
garnished with radiating tuft Of varie-
gated bamboo leaves. n portion Of the
raw fish from the pile in front Of the
living victim is now placed ON a saucer
and passed 10 one guest, and so On with
the rest till the pile is consumed. Then
the carver raises the skin (Which has
been already looScned) Of the living Gsh,
and proceeds TO take slice after slice from
the upper part. The creature has been
carved while still alive, the pile of flesh
first served consisting of the lower half
Of the body. This has been done with
such consummGte skill that no vital
part has been touched. The heart, the
liver, the giils and the stomach are lift
intact, while the damp seaweod CT
which the flesh rests suflicCs TO keep the
lungs in action. The miserable victim
looks on with lusirous eyes while It's
own body is consumed probably the
only instance of a living creature assist
ing as "A spectator at its own entomb-
ment. -Crncinnati Enquirer

PUNCH AND JUDY.


zThe Origin of This Tvtr Popular English
Entertainment.
Generations Of children have found
pleasure in Witnessing the antics Of
Punch and Judy and after nearly "a
CentuIy Of popularity the mimic thea
ter in which their adventures are dis
played still gives amusement to both
young and old. The origin Of this al
ways attractive entertainment is not
English, az many who have enjoyed it
may suppose; but, according TO an old
book, Punch and Judy are Of Italian
ancestry. In the district oS Acezza, near
Naples, the people are very much adj
dicted TO the making Of wine from
grapes, and it is curious that from an
tiquity they have been famous for their
love of droll wit and comic fun.
Many years ago, in the season Of the
vintage, which is a time when every
body seems TO be full Of fun and frolic,
some comic players came along through
-Acezza. They began to poke fun at the
vintage1s, and in the war of wit the
players got the worst of it.
Now, there was among the vintagcrs
"A fellow with an enormous red nose
long and crooked like a powder horn,
and ne was the very drollest and witt.
oest of the whole company The players
were SO tickled with his witty sayings,
ali set off by his odd face and very
queer air and manner, that they almost
went into Mysteries with laughter
After they went away they began to
1Ehink that this droll fellow would be
great accession to their company; so
they went back and made offers to him.
These he accepted, and such was the
success of his efforts that the company
acquired great fame and a great deal of
money. Everybody went to see this
witty buffoon, and all were delighted
This example led TO the establish
ment Of a droll or buffoon in all compa-
MES Of comedians, and he was always
called after the original one, whose
name was Pucco d'Aniello. This was
IN the course of time softened into Po-
lecenello. The French made it Poliche-
mel, and the English Punchinello. Aft
or time the English, for the sake of
brevity, left off the latter part of the
word and called it plain Punch.
How Judy originated history does not
record, but it is very easy to surmise
her story. Such a merry fellow as
Punch had as good right to wife as
anybody, if he could get one. Why not?
One might think that his beetlike nose
would have stood in the way Of his find
ing a woman willing 10 marry him, but
his wit was an offset TO this. Women
are fond Of wit, and Punch would have
played his part i'll if he could not have
made il cover his nose.
Now that we have supposed Punch to
have had wife, and also supposed her
name TO have been Judy, what more
natural than for this amiable couple
now and then to have had "a bit of a
breeze? They lived wandering life,
and, like other people in their station,
took little liquor TO raise their spirits.
After the effect was over, feeling lit
tile peevish, they fell to calling each
other hard names. and hard blows fol-
lowed; so this is their whole history.

ARCHITECT WILLIAMS BRINGS SUIT
Says Zig Balance is due Him for
DESIGNING Mears Building.


Architect I. L. Willlamss instituted
a suit through Attorney L. c. New
comb yesterday to recover on a dis
puted bill for the designing and in
spection of the work on the Mears
building.
In his declaration Mr.. Williams re-
lates that Mr.. Mears first engaged him
to design $4,000 building. He did
this and just about the time the plans
were completed Mr. Mears abandoned
his design and concluded to erect
larger and costlier building, the Mears
building as IL now stands, with the
exception of $4,000 roof house.
Architect Williams, in consideration
of the original design being abandoned.
reduced his price on the first set of
plans from per cent. Of the total es-
timated cost to one and one-quarter
per cent, and on the roof house, which
was to have cost $4,000, and which was
abandoned after being designed, he re-
duced the charge from five per cent
to one per cent.
The total cost of the Mears building
was $2O5, POS SO. A commission of five
per cent. on this amount added to
charge for the abandoned plans for the
originally designed $4,000 building and
the abndoned $4,000 roof house, sums
up to $11.35O.24 OF this amount s4,-
9lS.iO only has been paid, Mr.. Williams
alleges. and he claims $6,40l.S4 is still
due him.
