Fish as Fichfern.

The inhabitants of Cochin China and
Siam have known the fighting capacity
of savage little fish for many years,
and have long been in the habit of
making matches between those owned
by different men. just as Mexicans
match gamecOcks and some Americans
and Englishmen bull pups. When a
match is made the parties to it having
laid their bets bring their specimens
of the fierce little Beta pugnax in
globes Of water. Both are put into one
globe and without a moments hesita-
ton they fly at each other and do not
cease fighting until one of the COM
batants is killed by the other.
1t is only a year or two since speci-
mems of this fish were brought to
Paris, but now many are owned in
Paris, and it is said that the demand
for good specimens is constantly on the
increase. They are beautifully spotted
with red and blue and would attract
attention in any aquarium by their
cOlors alone. The savage nature be-
hind the beauty would hardly be sus-
pected.-ChicagO Inter Ocean.

No Cure For seasickne.a.

Notice should be taken of the efforts
which have from time to time been
made ". marine architect to miti-
gate the miseries of seasickness. He
has doubled his ship, he has slung his
ship as in a cradle. To no purpose. The
life of the channel steward remains an
arduOus one. Seasickness is not to
be conquered by the shipwright If
it was merely the rolling motion that
creates nausea, then hammock or a
cot would be as sure a relief as a twin
ship or a cradle hung saloon. Sea
sickness is caused by the several mo-
tions of the sea combined, and the
worst Of these movements the builder
cannot possibly deal with-I mean
the trough into which the ship falls
and the liquid activity to whose
frothing head she leaps.-Clark Rus

Begging Letters For the Rich.

A lady living less than a days jour
ney from New York had the curiosity
the other day to make certain calcula-
tions in order to see how large a part
of her property she would have had to
sacrifice had she granted all the re-
quests made for money within period
of AZ days. She kept all the begging
letters received during that time, add
ed together the amounts they asked
for and then discovered that had she
granted each individual request for
money she would have disbursed ST.

A SOLEMN OCCASION.
The Only Interview Buchanan Had
With His Vice President.

Vice President Stevenson used to tell
a story which John G. Breckinridge
had told him to illustrate the tradition
al relations between the president and
the man whose principle business it is
to wait for the possible death of the
president, in order that he may take
the presidents chair.
Breckinrdge said that Buchanan
never consulted him about any impOr-
tant matter. although as a Kentuckian.

southern leaders, he felt that his ad
vice might at times have been valuable
to the president In the early fall of
1860. when Buchanan's term was near
ing an end. amid the gathering clouds
of war, Vice President Breckinridge
received an urgent summons to the
White House. He responded at once.

A LOVERS FAREWELL.
Goodby forever. my darling.

Goodby forever. my darling.
Dear TO me even now,
Though | give you back your promise
And release you from your vow.
/ have learned that the love ! sought for
Had been given away before.
And | know that love in your nature
Is ''lOve forever more
Yet wish you had not answered
In words 50 tender and fair,
For ! could have borne it better,
Though it had been hard to bear.
II you had but told me truly
That your heart was given for aye,
should not have known the sorrow
That crushes my heart today.
Yet. why should ! weakly blame you
For . thoughts in my bosom hid?
Twas my own fond heart that led me
To love you as | did.
And now | must hide my sorrow,
AS ! hid my hope before,
And put it away in silence
To be spoken of no more.
For since | know l possess not
The love that had been such prize.
Shall wait till my idol crumbles
To ashes before my eyes?
No! Rather farewell forever,
And long may the loyelight shine
On the fairer part you have chosen
1t will beam no more on mine.
Better if death had robbed me,
For then / could love you still.
Your memory would have nerved me
To work with a stronger will.
Now is my dream but a sorrow,
And my heart hath sense of shame,
Remembering the empty promise
And the love that was only a name
Remembering the flowers of JOY
That brought a fruition of pain,
And the bliss that held for an hour
l held it and lost it again.

To drift on a boundless sea-

There will come no fruit to me.

ordinary pressures This Is the reason why
water boils at a lower temper allure on a noun
tain top than on a plain. In the vacuum pan
the work can be done by heating the brine to
only 112 degrees. Vacuum pans are in service
at three places in New-York State-Watkins
Ludlowville and Silver Springs.
SALT IN GRAINS
The product Of the vacuum-pan process is
beautiful article and commands higher price
than other salts. The grains form in cubes
instead of fakes. The salt obtained fro the
indirect heat (steam-ppe) system is also Of
an excellent quality. Years ago there was a
ers against American SALT because it was not
quite so pure as the more fastidious buyers
wanted That objection-in the main, just
one no doubt-was based the quality of
Onondaga salt, which contains a good deal OF
lime and was obtained by solar evaporation.
But now that the graner or indirect heat proc
ess and the vacuum pan have come into vogue
in this country, and purer brines have been
found IL is possible to get as good quality OF
salt as can be had anywhere In the world.
There is now no reason for importing the Eng
lish article any more.
Salt has been obtained from sea water In
many parts Of the world. Owing to the founess
it is desirable to be particular about the source
of supply. Moreover, there are regions In the
tropics where the sainity of the water Is greater

ever. In a modest way on Cape Cod, and in
Bristol County, Mass. more considerable
business is done in San Francisco Bay, in the
county of Alameda. From twenty five to thirty
establishments arc in operation in that part OF
the country Other factories for getting salt
from the sea are situated in Los Angeles and
San Diego
The salt beds Of America are found in various
geological formations. Those OF Western New

Dangers Of Treating.
There are hundreds of men in this
city whom l know personally would
not take a drink once in a week if they
were not asked into a saloon by a
friend. Once in there they feel that
they should rec'procate and the result
is that they have at least two drinks
before they leave. And then take the
workingmen. for instance. those who
who work in large manufacturing in.
situations and who are paid in checks.
In a great many cases these checks are
cashed in saloons. Two or three men.
or perhaps a half dozen or more. will
enter a saloon and each man when he
gets his his check cashed will buy a
drink for his associates. Every man
has as many drinks as there are men
in the party and sometimes they will
get just enough in them to start them
on a drunk. Now. if treating was
abolished it is more than likely tina,
these men would walk into a saloon,
buy n drink. get their money and de.
part. They would have practical lily a
full weeks pay when they get home
and would be sober.
