A Newspaper for Beggars.

One of the queerest newspapers pub
lished in Paris is daily journal, got
up especially for beggars. The mendi-
cantS of Paris have their labor union,
and labor dues in the same way as an
ordinary trade. Only limited num-
Der of hektograph copies of the jour-
nal are issued, and these are distribut-
ed among the various district head
quarters of the metropolis. 1t con-
tains tips for all sorts of mendicants.
There are complete lists of the bap-
tisms, weddings ard funerals to take
place each day, so that the beggar
knows where TO go if he wants to ply
his trade successfully. For the advan-
tage of begging letter writers, = spe-
cial column is set apart for noting
the arrivals and departures Of per-
sons of known charitable tendencies.
If the philanthropist millionaire should
be surprised on returning to Paris that
pleas for assistance at once begin TO
pour in upon him, he will be able to
ascribe this phenomenon to the kind

A STRANGE NURSERY.
THE STICKLEBACK CARES FOR
ITS YOUNG.
Takes Eggs Out for an Airing-Fans
Them with His Pins While They Are
in the Nest. Tends Them While They
Are Helpless.

You could hardly find a better rough
test Of relative development in the
animal Cor vegetable) world than the
number of young produced and the
care bestowed upon them, writes Or.
Grant Allen. The fewer the offspring
the higher the type Very low ami
mails turn out thousands of eggs with
reckless prOfusion, but they let them
look after themselves, or be devoured
by enemies, as chance will have it.
The higher you go in the scale of be-
ing, the smaller the families. but the
greater the amount of pains expended
upon the rearing and upbringing of
the young. 1t is interesting to note,
too, that anticipatiOnS of higher types,
so to speak, often occur among lower
races. An animal here and there
among the simpler forms hits upon
some device essentially similar to that
of some higher group with which it is
really quite unrelated. There are
many species of sticklebacks. but all
are alike in the one point which gives
them their common name. that is to
say in their aggressive and protective
pricklinesS. They are armed against
all corners. The dorsal fin is partly re-
placed in the whole family by strong
spineS or "stickles." which differ in
number in the different species The
special popularity of the male stickle-
back consists in the fact that he is,
above all things, model father. In
his acute sense of parental response
bility he has few equals. When spring
comes round he first exhibits his con-
seriousness of his coming charge by
suddenly endGing himself in glowing
coat of many colors and OF iridescent
brilliancy. That is in order TO charm
the eyes Of his prospective mate. or
rather mates. for our amiable friend
is a good parent. but an abandoned
polygamist The first care of the male
stickleback, when he has acquired MS
counting suit. is TO build a suitable
home for his future wives and chill
dren. So he picks up stems of grass
and water weeds with his mouth and
weaves them deftly into a compact
nest as perfect as a birds, though
somewhat different in shape and pat

home his care has provided for her.
The father fish, meanwhile, dances
and capers around, in an ectasy at the
success Of his endeavors.
Ore wife, however, does not suffice
to fill th) nest with eggs, and the
stickleback is firm believer in the ad-
advantages of large fami les. So, as
soon as his first mate has laid all her
spawn, he sets out once more in
search of another. Thus he goes on
until the home is quite full OF eggs,
bringing back one wife after another,
in proportion to his success in wooing
and fighting. For. like almost all
polygamists. your stickleback is a ter

best by being permitted to roam in

which is not hemp at all, but is OBJ

WRITES ON DIVORCE LAW.
Bishop Seymour Would Have Canoni-
cal Rule Changed.

New York, July 20-Bishop George F.
Seymour of Springfield has published in
the Churchman a letter on marriage and
divorce which is attracting wide attention
in the councils of the Episcopal church.
The bishop viii present his views on the
subject to the next general convention of
the church and viii ask that they be
adopted as the ecclesiastical law. In his
letter Bishop Seymour says:
Marriage is contract and by God s
fiat is indissoluble: but like all contracts
it may be made null and void by fraud,
violence, OF ignorance.
In such cases there was never any real
marriage. The service and declaration
created a legal status of man and wife in
the eye of the law and the public; but, as
before God, there never was a sacra-
mental union in the bonds of holy matri-
mony, and therefore the parties. or one
of them at least, who has been the vic
tim of deception or force, is free to marry
Whomsover he or she pleases.
But in such cases the action of our
courts by which legal redress is given to
the injured party is called divorce This
is a misapplication of the term; but we
can protect the innocent by the introduce
ton of clause in our canon
Bishop Seymour gives the construction
of the proposed canon in these words:
IN o minister of this church shall SOL
emniZe the marriage Of any person who
has divorced husband or wife still liv-
ing if such husband or wife has been put
away for any cause arising after mar
riage. But this canon shall not be held to
apply to parties once divorce and seeking
to be united again
