BLACKFISH ON ITS HEAD.
A Position That II Tukex When Tn
the Act of Seeking Shelter in a
Hole Through n Rock.

The blackfish likes to creep in under
cverhanging rocks and into holes, and
in winter it is common for it to get into
such places and lie there for long
time without eating. In waters that
it frequents it may be seen at low tide
slowed away in such shelters. At the
Aquarium the blackfish In tanks in
which there ore rocks like to loaf and
lurk about them. There is one tank
there containing small blackfsh in
which there are fragments Of rock per-
forated with holes made originally by
some boring mollusk, which have doubt
less been enlarged by the action of sand
and water, says the New York Sun.
Into the largest of these holes one of
the blackfsh creeps. AS The rock lies
in the tank the hole is downward. Just
back of the front edge. and through the
rock. The little blackfsh goes into
this hole head downward and through
il until its nose rests ON the bottom he
low. Its position then is very nearly
vertical. and its head and part of the
forward part of its body may be seen
below The rock, while its tail may be
seen projecting above. In this posi-
ton it sometimes remains for a day at
time.

says: l find the following in my scrap

and is called simply boys story.

SUICIDE AMONG GERMANS.
The Stronger the Teutonfsm the
Stronger the Propensity TO
Self-Deetructton.

Another social phenomenon has been
laid az the door of the Teutonic race of
northern Europe, one which even more
than Girorce is directly the concom-
liant of modern intellectual and
economic progress. We refer to suicide,
says the Popular Science Monthly.
Morselli devotes chapter OF his inter
esting treatise upon this subject to
proving that "the purer the German
race-that is to say. the stronger the
Cermanism (e. g., Teutonism), Of a
Countrywide more 1t reveals in its ply
sical character an extraordinary pro
pensty 10 sel-destrucdon." On the
other hand, the Slavic peoples seem to
him to be relatively immune. These
conclusions he draws from detailed
comparison of the distribution OF sui-
eide in the various countries of weetern
Europe, and it must be confessed that
he has collected data for very plaus-
ible case. There can be no doubt that In
Germany the phenomenon eliminates
In frequency for all Europe, and that
1t tends to disappear In almost direct
proportion to the ttcnuation of the
Teutonic racial characteristics else
where.

THE BACHELOR GIRL.
She Keeps Herself Looking Well. and
IL Free from ARectation and
Grows Old Gracefully.

"She is wise In one respect. is this
bachelor girl" Ruth Ashmore writes in
Ladies Home Journal. "She has
learned the art of gathering years
gracefully. She appreciates, as she
loses her youth, that she must pay more
regard to her appearance, and that in
life's picture she must always be n
figure that looks well. Here the bach
elor girl rises superior to the old maid,
for with all the old maids gentleness
she was a bit inclined toward dowdi-
ness. The bachelor girl impresses you,
when you meet her. with her natural
ness. Perhaps, as you grow 10 know
her well, you may wish that her nat
ural manner did not tend toward
brusqueness; but at least she is truth
full. She is a woman of business, and
she is gradually learning that to sue
ceed, alike in business and in society,
she must follow the example of her
brother and not carry her workaday
worries or joys into her social life. She
must learn the art of being grub or a
butterfly. as time and place demand
She Is fond of pleasure. and. being
healthy and happy. she is kind and
charitable"

NEW ASPECT OF wAP.
DweIIers at senshore Resorts show
"a Reluctance to Rent the
Cottages.

A great many people who have been
bl:thely talking about rushing into a
war with Spain will, we believe, pause
and reflect and grow dubious when
they read the latest news from the sea-
shore-this news being nothing less
than that cottages and villages at the
most approved seaside resorts are not
in nearly as great demand as formerly.
and that if war really occurs there is
a question as TO whether Newport and
Elberon will not be practically desert
ed, says the Chicago Evening News.
This brings up the astonishing fact,
overlooked until this moment, that in
war the enemy's ships might throw
shells and shot at the Marble house and
the Breakers and even at the Casino
itself.
Eminent historical authorities and
counsel learned in interna tional law
admit that this is so and that there is
nothing on the books TO prevent lowly
Spanish gunner from sending projec-
tile into Newport's best houses without
even an r. S. V. p. attached. Some au-
thorities go so far as to say that Span
ish captain might in a supposable case
land boatload of marines of no social
standing at all and lead them right into
the drawing-room.
Now that the fact has been brought
to general attention the monstrous de-
feet in the framework of things which
it serves to point out will be rectified.
Either there will be another interna-
tional congress, at which certain in
| violable localities will be fixed and sol
emnly acknowledged. so that on naval
charts of the future places will be
marked where not even cannon ball
can go without an introduction. or else
nice, picturesque sea will be picked
out and set apart exclusively for the
summer uses of the elect.

THE USE OF SALT.
Il In Said That Vegetable Con dimenta
Might Well BE Substituted
for IL. -

Contrary TO the general belief that
salt is an essential part of our daily
diet, Capt Poindexter, assistant sur
geon in the United States army, main
tains that it would be better to substi-
tute for its use certain vegetable condi-
ments, such as sugar, pepper, horse
radish, spices, cranberry sauce, pickles,
vinegar, olive oil, etc. He says that per-
sonally he has not been so situated that
but he has reduced it TO minimum,
and finds himself generally better phys
ically and mentally, says the Atlanta
Constitution. He finds in his own case
that the senses of taste and hearing
are apparently more active than when
he used salt more freely. His hair,
which had begun to fall off, has ceased
doing so. His skin seems softer and
clearer than before, and there are many
other favorable changes. The broad
hypothesis he adopts is that mineral
matter as derived directly from the
earth is, If not poisonous, unassimila-
BILE and Unnecessary for our bodies. He
holds, however, that salt is an irritable
poison, causing an irritation or sensi-
tiveness of the tissues, as it circulates
through the body and consequently in
duces tendency to disease. In the labor
atories it is found that salt has no germ
killing properties, but when placed in
bouillion for the cultivation of germs
the latter thrive in the mixture. He
makes no allusion to the belief enter
tanned as to the virtues of salt as a
solvent when taken into the system.
