A doubt that has troubled scientists
for years-whe;her there exists a vivip.
arous kind of fish, one that gives birth
to its young In living state-was def
niteiy settled IN the anrmatiye the 9TH
er day when the City Hall fountain of
the capital of Arizona Territory was
cleaned out. In turning the water out
OF the big cement basin, where gold
fish variety Of the carp family has long
dlsported itself for the edification of
the Phoenix nurse girl and the Mari
copa County hobo, 1t was found that
many of the fish had given birth to
progeny fully formed and ready to dart
about in search of food at the moment
Of coming into their watery world. 9th
ers had given birth to tiny creatures
that were globular in shape, except
for the protruding eyes and nascent
tall fin, that could scarcely be seen
without strong glass. From all evi-
dences, 1t was clear that the cleanup
had been made during the breeding
season, yet there was no sign Of fish
roe or eggs. Many specimens Of the
strange young fish were collected, and
will be shipped to different experts,
one lot going to the Smithsonian Insti.

In spite of Polonius' fatherly injunc-
lion to Laertes, neither borrower
| aor lender be-" most of us borrow a
| 1ew book row or then or receive it
from the generous owner who insists
upon lending it. Some people take the
book carelessly, others do not rest until
It Is read and returned to the keeping
IF its proprietor
The first thing to do with n borrowed
book is to cover it with thick paper to
protect the covers from accidental
'plashes or from lingering. Do not
wait day or So but cover 1t at once
rs soon as you receive it. Write the
nape of the book plainly on the paper
cover. also the owners name. If you
are one of large family and the bor-
;owed book is likely to be laid on ta-
ole where any one can pick it up, write
IN cover, "This book is not to be left
on the library table," for in spite of
dainty davenport arrangements the
library table often means close aSsOcia-
lion with an inkStand, vinaigrette, or
dover vase containing water, or some
receptacle Of fluid which may be acci-
lentally overturned and spot the bor-
'owed book.
Do not read little in the borrowed
book and put it aside while you read
three or four other more interesting
books. Begin it and get through with
It, reading as steadily as you can until
Il is finished, and then return it prompt

it will be safely off your hands.
1t is provoking to have a book bor-
rowed and kept for an indefinite time;
It prevents others who may be await
ing the book from the opportunity of
enjoying 1t. If the borrower finds her
self not likely to find time to read it,
she should return it at once and ask
for the privilege Of borrowing it an
other time.
Never, never lend to another a book
that you have borrowed. Let not that

pencil to make any mark or annexation
In a borrowed book. If you think

to leave 1t in the book at the page

score passage or word in borrowed

Warm and Cold-BIooded Animals.

Animals have been called warm
blooded and cold-blooded, but the dis
tinction is less sharply drawn than was
once supposed, as one class graduates
into the other. In a paper to the
Royal Society of Victoria, Mr.. Alexan-
der Sutherland mentions that the in
vertebrates have the capacity of pro-
ducing heat, although they are cold
blooded, but, except the insects, their
temperature seldom rises more than q
fraction Of degree above that of the
medium in which they live. Certain
invertebrates, such as polypi, molluses
and crustacea, raise themselves one
third of q degree to =. degree above
their environment. Insects, though
essentially cold -blooded, are usually a
degree or two warmer than their
medium, but capable of remarkable
warming with exertion. Fishes, am
phibia and reptiles also heat them
selves ON moving. A species Of blind
worm is said to rise as much as four
teen degrees above the temperature OF
the air. The warm-blooded animals
have nearly fixed temperatures, and
do not vary with the air, the mono
tremes, the lowest in the scale of the
mammals, having q temperature of
about seventy to eighty-fve degrees,
while the marsupials average about
ninety-three to ninety-seven degrees,
and the average of the higher orders
seems to be from ninety-nine degrees
to 104 degrees. Birds range between
l03 degrees and los degrees. In q
very general way it may be said that
bodily activity depends upon bodily
temperatures. Trenton IN. j. Ameri-

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Character is measured by the dis,
tance travelled from the starting point,
and everything depends upon whether
the progress has been up stream OF
down.
A ship in the water is all right, but
let the water get into the ship and
down she goes. 1t is the same with
Christian people, as soon as they get
contaminated with the world they are
in fair way to be lost.
OF the five senses, two are usually
and most properly called the Senses OF
Learning, as being most capable Of
receiving communication of thought
aud motions, by selected signs; and
these are hearing and seeing.
Some people scorn to be taught,
others are ashamed of it, as they would
be of going to school when they are
old; but it is never too late to learn
what it is always necessary to know.
And it is no shame to learn so long rs
we are ignorant that is to say, so
long as we live.
Whatsoever it be that disorders, an.
noys, grieves You, makes life look
dark and your heart dumbly ache, or
vets your eyes with bitter tears, look
at it steadily, look at it deeply, look
at it in the thought of God and His
purpose of good, and already the pain
and annoy of it will begin to brighten.
There are some spirits which must
go through discipline analogous to
that sustained by Elijah. The storm
struggle must precede the still small
voice. There are hearts which must
be broken with disappointment before
they can rise into hope. Blessed is
the man who recognizes his Fathers
voice in the undertone of the tempest,
and bare1 his head and bows his knee
as Elijah did.

pie, his left leg being missing almost
from the hip joint. From the nature
Of the affliction it would seem almost
impossible for him to keep his balance
upon his wheel, and yet he not only
managed to hold his seat gracefully,
but with his one good leg lie pushed
the pedal in great fashion. He was,
in fact, scorcher. It was his habit
TO cruise around Broad street, until a
wheelman who looked ''touchable"
came along. He would overhaul each
man and make the usual plea for
assistance. He picked out such one
at Wharton street, and started after
him. The intended victim looked
around and noted the cripples appear
ance with a smile Of mingled astouish-
ment and amusement. On the pur-
suer's breast hung his trade mark, a
large placard reading, "Help the
poor cripple" The other man put on
extra speed and started to scorch
away. The cripple also "smoloG
up" and in u moment the race
was on. Away they flew, square
after square, the cripple sgradually
gaining on the other until at Moore
street he was abreast of his quarry.
The latter was laughing so heartily
that he exhausted all his wind. ''Can't
you help me along a little?" asked the
cripple. "Here's q dime" said the
other; you've earned it." The Grip.
pie thanked him, pocketed the coin and
went off to look for more Victims

The French "De~

Initial syllable from the rest of the
name, says the Nineteenth Century.
For instance, NJ Delamare became NJ.

Formed into NJ. de Lestrade, and M.
Dervilley signed "D'Ervilley." But the
operation became a little more trouble
some when the name was a very COM
monplace one, such as Durand, Reg
nault or Dupont. In that case the
name of town or n political division
was added, and the gentleman called
himself Dupont de rEure or de Men,
ours; Regnault de Saint-Jean dan
geuly; Durand de Romorantin, and so
forth.
When no name of a town or village
was available the would-be nobleman

IL 1t had an aristocratic sound. In this
way certain ambassador, whose fam
lily name was a ridiculous one, but
whose mothers name, though plebeian,
was easy to disguise, dropped by de-
grees his own name and retained only
the maternal appellation, just preflXing
the particle ''de" and the title of baron
conferred on him under the empire. In
the elevated circle in which he moves,
thanks to his intelligence and superior
education, no one suspects that his real
name, IL he went by it, would associate
him more intimately with kitchens
than with diplomatic salons.

We doubt whether it is practically
possible to protect late-sown grain by
any covering whatever in the climate
of Western New York. II you have
manure, however, that you can spare
to topdress the wheat after the ground
has been frozen, that is another mat
ter. The manure, unless in greater
amounts than we should advise for
wheat, will amount to very little as
protection. What effect it will have
is as manure after the growing season
begins, and especially to make a
vigorous clover growth for the young
clover. Five or six loads per acre
thinly spread will be sufficient for
this, and that of course means that
much of the surface will have only a
very small amount of manure on each
of the 43, $50 square feet surface that
an acre contains. The notion that
grain straw scattered over the fields
will be of any benefit whatever is an
absurdity. The straw cannot prevent
the soil beneath it from freezing.
But in spring it acts as mulch Just
at the time when the young grain
needs all the sunlight it can get to
warm the soil. So the mulch in spring
will do as much harm if not more
than it gave of benefit during the
winter. In most cases, however, fall
mulching with straw results in the
straw being piled next the fences by
winds blowing across the fields. In
such case it does no good at any time
and is simply waste of the straw

1t is not good plan to allow hogs
to run loose in the barnyard with other
stock. Their odor is very disagrees
able to all other domestic animals and
they will not eat their food $50 we'll
when hogs are near them. Besides,
cows and horses, if loose, will trample
on or otherwise injure hogs running
at their heels. The only excuse for
keeping hogs in the barnyard is that
they may root over the excrement of
COWS or horses that are fed on whole
grain. No doubt the hogs will get
some grain in this way. But the bet
ter way is to have the grain ground
and feed enough less to pay for the
grinding. With either COWS or horses
the meal with cut hay or straw will be
much better digested than will whole
grain.
