The FiSh'a Color,

1t is familiar fact that fishes can
change their colors at will; many fish
es make remarkable changes. Free
swimming fishes most commonly pre-
serve their normal colors, though these
fishes can change; the fishes that
change most are the bottom feeders.
For their own protection from other
fishes that would prey upon them,
and the better to enable them them
selves to capture food, these change
their colors to match the bottom they
are on, so as to make themselves in.
visible. They do this often to a de-
gree that seems extraordinary.
In one of the smaller saltwater
tanks at the New York Aquarium
there are number of small fatfish.
The bottom of the tank is covered
with coarse gravel. The great bulk of
the gravel is composed of pebbles of
brownish white, sort of pale IRON
rust color. Scattered in this are peb-
bles of deeper tinge, with now and
then one of a brownish gray or brown
black
The fiatfish lying on the gravel at
the bottom of this tank initiate it's coll
ors in their own backs in a manner
that is marvellous; they are Of a mot
tied brown, like the colors of the grav-
ell, an the smallest of the fiatfish is the
most wonderful. They are all thin and
lie close to the bottom. The edge of
the little one blends with it; and it's
back is a wonderful mosaic of browns
so like the gravel of the surrounding
bottom that it appears to be part of
it. Even in this clear water. at little
distance, the fish is scarcely distin-

The "Don,t-wnnt-It" Signal.

"A friend turned up here recently"
said a New Yorker, who'd been in
Cuba for number of years. Don't be
afraid-this isn't anything about the
war. He brought with him a habit
that struck me as curious; when he re-
fused anything offered to him he would
shake his forefinger from side to side
sometimes his right forefinger, some
times his left, at about where his waist
had been when he still had a waist.
The habit is easy to acquire, and /
picked it up; but it didn't work we'll,
for few persons here seemed to notice
it.

other day, however, couple of news
boys rushed at me from different sides.

used to shake his, and both boys stop
ped-one of them ten feet away, the
other not so far. They stopped short,
turned about and went away. l tried
the trick later, when another boy rush

charm. These boys were Italians; and

mo healthy person, much less a

English writer, devoted to the study of

NAPKINS IN FANCY FOLDS.
An Arrangement of Them Adds Niue

An Arrangement of Them Adds Muc1
to the Appearance of n Table.
The arrangement of the napkins add!
much to the appearance of a dinner
table. Of course, plated fans or any
violent butterfly or bat designs placed
in goblets or tumblers are to be despis
ed as commonplace, but an artistic
manner of folding napkins to hold the
blocks of bread is to be admired. II
will not take more than few mo-
ments to fold the pretty patterns O.

Neapolitan, the cocks comb, the calls

the creases to make the designs lool

A DUKES INORGANIC WIFE.
When He Became Heir to the
Throne She Had to Go.

When He Became Heir to the
Throne She Had to Go.
1 met friend from Canada the 9TH
err day writes w. e. Curtis, who keeps
we'll posted about current affairs, and
he told me that the morganatic wife Of
the Duke of York was living quietly at
remote post in British Columbia with
her present husband, who is an officer
of Her Majesty's army. When the
young Prince was serving his time in
the British navy his ship was station
ed at Malta for many months, and
there he fell in love with the daugh-
ter of an army officer, who was beauti-
full, amiable and accomplished. She
loved him we'll enough to take the
chances of marrying a grandson of
Queen Victoria, and there wasn't much
said about it until the death of his
elder brother made him heir to the
throne. Then the situation became
serious, particularly as she had pre-
sented him with two beautiful chill
dren. Just what was done and said
nobody knows, but at any rate the
young Prince was persuaded to aban-
don her, the marriage was declared
loft, and a young army officer Of ex-
cellent family, the younger son of one.
of the noblest houses in Europe, was
induced to become her husband. These
things can be arranged in England
without much trouble. 1t is often con-
sidered an honor to embrace the dis
carded mistress of Prince, and the
gentleman who. married York's wife
is always sure of being we'll taken care
of by his Government as long as he
behaves himself and prevents a scan
dial.
So they were married, and the fu-
ture King of England was free to offer
his heart and hand to the Princess
May, who is now a happy wife and
mother, and is probably entirely igno-
rant of her husbands early romance.
The young officer, with his bride,
went first to India and served there
for time, but the wife didn't like the
climate and the officer secured a trans
fer to Canada, where for year or so
he has been stationed at a pleasant
post. My friend would not tell me his
name, nor where he is located, because
the information came to him in con-
fidence, and he said there was not
dozen men in Canada who knew the
facts. The future of the children is
matter of speculation. They are boy
and girl. They have taken the name
of their foster father and will proba-
bly, never know that they are the de-
scendants of Kings,

EpIES TO CURE CONSUMPTION
AND ALL LUNoTRoUBLEs.
Nothing could be fairer, more philan-
thropic or carry more JOY to the afflicted,
than the offer of T. A. Slocum, M. c., of
IS3 Pearl street. New York City.
Confident that he has discovered an alb
solute cure for consumption and all pull
monary complaints, and to make tsgreat
merits known, he will send, free, three
bottles of medicine, to any reader of The
Midland Journal who is suffering from
chest, bronchial, throat and lung troubles
or consumption.
Already this "new scientific course of
medicine" has permanently cured thou
sands of apparently hopeless cases.
The Doctor considers it his religious
duty-a duty which he owes to humanity
to donate his infallible cure.
Offered freely, is enough to commend it,
and more so is the perfect confidence OF
the great chemist making the proposition.
He has proved the dreaded consumption
to be durable disease beyond any doubt.
There will be no mistake in sending
the mistake will be in overlooking the
generous invitation. He has on file in his
American and European laboratories ties,
timonials of experience from those cured,
in all parts of the world.
Don't delay until it is too late Address
