Fish as FiUhterR.

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 1t Is said that the demand
for good specimens Is constantly on the
increase. They are beautifully spotted
with rcd 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 Use For the AIliwatOr.

The colored prisoners in the peniten-
tiary are acquainted with the habits
Of crocodiles and fully realize that they
relish a pickaninny. Under these cir
cumstances they are not anxious to
make the acquaintance Of crocodile
that inhabits the fountain Of the pris-
on. The other day one Of them who
had committed some offense was taken
to the cellar to be punished. After he
had been blindfolded one Of the men
called out to the other, keep that al.
ligator back or he will bite this man."
That caused the colored man to COM
mence to plead, and he said, 40 de
Lord, Mr.. Deputy, ef youse let me go.
I'll neber come back here ag'in."
"But you told me that the other
time,' replied the deputy.
''But dis Is de time I tells you de
truf, and neber will come back ag'in."
On leaving the tub he declared that
the animal had bitten him few times.
Notwithstanding the fact that the croc-
odlle had been In the fountain all the
time. The colored man has kept his
word up to date, but he Is liable to
soon forget the lesson Of the crocodile
that Is the deadly enemy Of the colored
men In the south.-Columbu Dispatch.
