SCARED INTO APPENDICITIS.
New Orleans Man Read All About the

description of the symptoms of appen-

and reread it, and as | did so it seemed
TO me that some of the premonitory
symptoms conceded exactly with GER

that night was panic-stricken with a
severe cramp a little northeast of nv

fatal spot. and needless to say | didn't
sleep wink. By morning had all the
symptoms of typical case, and could
scarcely get around to see the doctor.

THE PARROT FISH.
Some Points of Interest Concerning
DeniEen of BerEnudan
Waters.

Among the fishes in one of the tanks
at the Aquarium are two parrot fishes
from Bermuda. Both are strikingly
colored, but in one of them green pre-
dominates, while in the other the tint
most prominent is blue, says the New
York Sun.
The great thing with captive fishes Is
to get them to eat. A fish with good
appetite, that will eat the food provid-
ed, is likely, other conditions being
favorable, to get along; and every eff
fort is made to give the fishes food such
as they have been accustomed to in ma
ture or such as will tempt their appe-
tites.
In applying this treatment the parrot
fish, which in nature subsist on mol
lusks and crustaceans, are fed here on
shrimp cut-up herring, cut-up CLAIMS,
and killies. Pretty much all fishes like
live killies; and in fish circles the
shrimp also is commonly esteemed a
delicacy. And it is customary at the
Aquarium to supply these things in
such quantities as may be best for the
fishes welfare; most commonly, espe-
cially in the case of shrimps, in limited
quantities, as a sort of relish or dessert.
Thus after the hearty meal, of chopped
up clam or whatever the principal food
furnished to the various fishes may be,
the man who feeds them goes along
with deep pan containing live killies,
which he gives to the fishes that care
for them in the several tanks according
to their desires or his own discretion.
When he comes to the tank where the
parrot fish are the green parrot sweeps
around and takes in the first killie
dropped into the water. 1t is not raw
enously fond of them, but it likes them
well enough to come for them. But he
stay made here is not very long-the
green parrots wants are very easily
supplied; it will eat one big killie or
two small ones, and that is ALL

USUAL METHOD OF ACTION.
A BashfuI Chicago Youths ExpIana-
ton of a Sudden Assumption
of n Seat.

He is an extremely diffident fellow,
this South side youth, but is also en-
amored of a fair maiden. She likes
him right back and is not averse to Civ
iEg him help in emergencies. But she
finds it a difficult matter to get her ad-
mirer to respond to the calls Of society,
for he sinks into a condition of too
many feet and hands when in the whirl
social. But she has her hopes, says the
Chicago Chronicle.
Not long ago, when the chill winds
had reduced the previously deposited
snow into glaring ice, they set forth
to walk to a nearby home to engage in
the attractions of progressive euchre
and chocolates. He was very tender
and soEcitous lest she tumble, slip and
fall upon the icy sidewalk. Not being
endowed with the certainly of footing
of the patient burro himself, fate over
took him and he smote the earth with
a crash heard blocks away.
Thereupon a look Of intense anguish
sped over his face. for his spine seemed
shortened. The 'girlie" was in tears of
pity. She clasped her hands and loved
him for his woes
ooh. Charlie. "she murmured, broken
ly. "does it hurt?"
''No." he gasped, with 8 sickly grin.
'Of course not. You see, always sit
down that way"
Now she loves him for his courage
and ability to tell Fl to extricate him
self from painful and unpleasant po-
sition.

THE FIRST POST OFFICE.
Private Penny Post Established In
France in the Reign of
Louis XIV.

The TACT that there is a regular mail
route through Alaska, and that even re-
mote towns in Africa are not without
postal facilities, is in these progressive
times accepted quite as a matter of
course. Yet this wonderful system.
which has reached out until if in
cludes every country on the face of
the earth, had its beginning in the mind
of an ingenious Frenchman who lived
less than $50 years ago.
In 1868. early in the reign Of Louis
XIV, M. de Velayer established a pri-
vate penny post, says writer in Har-
per's Round Table. Boxes were set up
at the street corners for the reception
of letters. Offices were opened in vari-
Gus quarters Of Paris; collections were
made once day from the street boxes,
followed many hours later by single
delivery, and thus the first post office
in the world was established.
M. de Velayer was so greatly en-
couraged by the success of his enter
prise that in order to develop it still
further he printed certain forms of
billets or notes which were intended
to cover all the ordinary requirements
of business in great towns. These
forms contained blanks which were
intended to be filled up by the
pen with such special matters as might
be necessary to camplete the writer's
object. The idea at once became pop
ular. and the printed forms accom-
panied the expansion of the postal
service throughout the larger cities of
France, and it was many years before
they fell into disuse
