Thus it goes with the monotony of rou-

hard enough of a verify and the pay is
poor--SS5 a month for first-class fireman,
$50 a month for a second class man, and
so for a coal-passer-but the navy never
suffers for lack OF good men for that
grade. There is some chance for advance

respectively $40 and $37 a month, and there
is even hope for the exalted billet of first

II trout rise merrily in the very midse
of a storm, why do they invariably suIk
when the thunder is only '1n the air?''
The explanation is simple; but 1t occurred
to me only the other day. Trout sulk
when the storm Is gathering from the
cause which makes men at the club de-
cline 10 look at the billiard cues during
the same weather. The atmosphere lacks
oxygen, and therefore all sentent life is
languid. When the lightning has come
the sultrness IS dispelled; fish and men
have something more cheering than car
bonic acid gas to breathe; both are In a
humor for food or play
The same reasoning, I think, explains
why, as a rule, it is necessary to have a
ripple If you are to catch trout. The ac-
cepted explanation Is that the ripple con-
oeals the casting line. leaving visible 10
the FISH the flies alone; but one has only
10 use ones eyes to discover that that Is no
explanation at all. Even in a gale, if
there Is sunshine, the gut Is as easily Wis
BILE to the human eye as IL would be in
a dead calm; and to what the human eye
can see in the water the trout Is surely
not quite blind. No; trout rise in a ripple
more readily than an a calm simply be-
cause the wind is oxygenatlng the water.
Whose doubts this Is invited to make an
experiment. Let him put half a dozen
live trout in a pail OF water Within an
hour they viii be sickening and some Of
they will be near death and turning on
tkeir backs. A few quarts of water

into the pail viii make al the trout revive
as il by magic. The fish want oxygen JUST

ternoon want thunder storm Or Other
stimulant.

inets some years ago married a notorious
woman who had been the favorite of Al
fonso, an actress of great beauty and pop
uiarty The political exigencies of the
time would not permit the Queen to ex-
pei him from the cabinet as she would
have liked to do, for he was all powerful
with the army. and had to be tolerated
for fear he would organize a revolution.
But her majesty never had anything to
do with him except In the most formal
way and his gay wife was never admit
ted 20 the palace. Some time after this a
state ball was given in honor of a royal
guest, and everybody In Madrid OF social
position and respectable standing was in
vited except the wife of the minister Of
war. He received an invitation, but she
did not, and his excelentissimo was ex-
ceedingly angry He went straight to the
palace and demanded an audience with the
Queen, of whom he inquired II the omis-
sion was accidental or intentional. Her
majesty replied with dignity that she
must be allowed TO select her own guests.
"Muy bien" very welD, retorted tho
minister. IF my wife is not asked to
this bali, must beg your majesty TO ex-
cuse me, for / shall be very busy that
night organizing revolution, and l take
the liberty now to advise you that the
palace will be attacked at daybreak i'm
order that your majesty may make the
necessary preparations for your own
protection.
The Queen sank back, a picture of de-
spair, as the idol of the army unceremon-
iously left her presence. She knew the
desperate character of. the man; his abso-
lutte control of the troops and the signih-
canoe OF his threat. AS soon as she could
recover herself she sent for her devoted
major domo. whom she instructed to for
ward an invitation at once to the wife Of
the minister Of war.
1T has already gone" was the reply.
why did you invite that woman with-
out my orders?" exclaimed the Queen.
II perceived his excellency's agitation
and knew what caused it," said the true
courtier II also realized the conse-
quences, and 1 sent the invitation before
he left the palace in order that the act
might not lie upon your majesty's con-
science"
