A Vivid Dissertation.

A short sighted and deaf old gentle
man who was at an entertainment
where professor performed on big
bass viol, thus described the seems:
''The professor carried on to the plat
form gigantic beetle attached to the
end of sort of lamppost. He leaned
over and fondly embraced it, tickling
its back violently with long comb.
s'The spectators seemed much de-
lighted at this display of scientific az
fection. The beetle was apparently quite
unmoved. Then the professor gave a
capital imitation of the drunken man
and the lamppost. He swayed rapidly
up and down. clutching quickly at all
points.
Sometimes his fingers quivered pas
sionately upon one spot, like an ill tenn
pered man struggling with an obstinate
pair of braces. Sometimes he rested
momentarily, as one rests after con.
test with stiff white tie
FINALLY, he gave last convulsive
tickle to the huge beetle, picked himself
up from the lamppost and carried off
the unresisting insect. The audience
applauded vigorously"

Fish as Fighters.

The inhabitants of Cochin China and
Siam have known the fighting capacity
Of a 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-
tion they fly at each other and do not
cease fighting until one of the COM
batants is killed by the other.
1t is only 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.

Woman and Perversity.

Women and perversity are one, says
the philosophic street car conductor,
who asserts that she always does the
wrong thing in travelling on the trains.
She wants to get aboard on the wrong
side Of the street; she alights the wrong
way, facing backward. before the car
stops. and she'll crowd in between two
fat passengers near the rear door Of
the car rather than walk a few steps
forward where there is plenty Of room.
She may have nickels and dimes in her
purse to burn, but she'll fish and hunt
around for minutes looking for five
coppers to unload upon the long suffer-
iEg servant Of the road.-EXchange
