A Goldfish Kaleidoscope.

There are many fishes that in captiv-
ity seem to follow some definite course
in their movements, as, for instance,
they may swim round and round and
round the tank in one direction. The
goldfish, however, in its moving about,
appears to be sort of aimless fish; it
goes down to the bottom and up to the
top and crisscross and every which way,
and moving commonly rather sluggish
ly. There is one tank at the aquarium
containing goldfish in considerable
numbers that is so situated that at GER
tain hours the sun shines through It,.
This tank, as seen from little distance,
with its bright-colored fishes weaving
in and out in their peculiar way in the
sunlight, has been likened to goldfish

who work in restaurants and hig stores
for pin money. The girls think that
women who have husbands to support
them ought TO stay al home and not in

to work for living. In many cases
where married women work In res

six big ships. 1t will take at least
six months to draw the plans for each
class of ship, but there is no sign yet
that the members of the board of con-
struction can agree as to the features
OF the vessels. The battery, wnicn is
the first thing TO be settled, has not
been arranged, and even the plans r1ade
some weeks ago by Rear Admiral O'Neil,
chief Of ordnance have been laid aside.
The board early in its sessions voted
down the proposition Of Rear Admiral
Melville, engineer in chief, for triple
screws for the battlesbips, but that Off
Ger is said to have renewed his recon-
mendation and urged its adoption. An
other cause of delay has been the at
tempt to adopt double deck turrets for
the battleships. One member of the
board is described as making n fight for
this principle of construction. The only
feature which the board has decided
upon is that all the ships shall be
shearheo and coppered. Al other ques-
tions have been regularly discussed
without any indication they will be
speedily settled.

THE STOPPING OF THE CLOCK.

Surprising falls the instantaneous calm,
The sudden silence in my chamber small.
/, starting, lift my head in half alarm
The clock has stopped-that's all.
The clock has stopped! Yet why have I so
found
An instant feeling, almost like dismay?
Why note its silence sooner than It's sound?
For II has ticked all day.
So many lives besides my own go on,
And such companionship unheeded keep
Companionship scarce recognized till gone.
And lost in sudden sleep.
And so the blessings Heaven daily grants
Are in their very commonness forgot,
We little heed what answereth our wants,
Until II answers not.
A strangeness falleth on familiar ways,
As if some pulse were gone beyond re-
call
Something unthought Of linked with all
our days
Some clock has stopped-thats all.
