PLUCKY SUNFISH.
How 1t Protected Its Home from a
Bullying Carp.

Bullying Carp.
Il saw an amusing thing the other
day while out fishing in Fish Lake"
said James Weston. Il was catching
fish about as fast as anyone who was
not fishing for the market would care
to, and many of them were sunfsh. In
a sheltered spot l noticed one of these
little fellows standing motionless, ex-
cept its fins, which occasionally moved
very slowly. | dropped my hook, with
a small minnow on, close to the fish's
nose, when it moved up, took hold of
the bait very gingerly, carried it away
about three feet, dropped it and glided
back to its place by the stone. once
more settling itself as it wa before |
disturbed it. Looking closely, | dis
covered fungus beneath the fish that
looked like a bit of discolored lace. |
then knew that the little goggle-eye
was on its spawning bed. Again. in
the spirit of fun, dropped the minnow
near the sunfish. She snapped it by the
tail and lugged it off fully two yards
and let it drop, scudding back to its
nest again like a shot. | concluded not
to disturb it again, and was about to
leave, when lubberly carp came NOV
ing along. The ugly fish let itself rise
gradually as if to take a survey of its
surroundings. Its shadow fell across
the sunfish nest, and, like weather
cock in gale, the little sunfish swung
around and faced the carp, that was
ten times its size and fifteen times its
weight. Mr.. Carp moved toward the
carefully prepared nest, when, like a
cyclone, the little sunfish, with dorsal
fin erect, made a charge on the big
disturber of its peace The sunfish did
not attack the earp's head, but with
bristling spines shot under the big
fish's belly and prodded him with its
needle points. The old carp bumped
up his back and began webbing ayay.
but the sunfsh circled and gave it an
other rake with its dorsal fin. when I
noticed about six inches of intestine
protruding from the carp's abdomen
That seemed to satisfy the pugnaciot.a

mel duty above its nest. | have often

saiutes of Rulers.

Emperor William is one of the two
European monarchs who delights in a
hearty handshaAe. He has a strong
grip and the person honored by him
with clasp of the hand is apt to re-
member the dignity thrust upon him.
William usually kisses royal friends.
When he visits or Is visited by a mon
arch he kisses him three times on
each cheek. Under no circumstances
will Franz Josef of Austria shake
hands with anybody except brother
soyereigns. A nod and kindly smile
is all he ever vouchsafes the most dis
tinguished Of his subjects. Nicholas
of Russia shakes hands with no one
but a fellow monarch. Relatives he
kisses on the forehead. Every one
who comes to see the king Of Italy
finds handshake and hearty greeting
if the king likes him. Humbert is a
democratic king. Sweden's king does
not like official handshaking and rarely
gives one CT his ministers his hand.
When he is off the throne and free to
be himself he is different, however, and
shakes hands as heartily as one OF hin
own subjects. Only with relatives will
Queen Victoria shake hands. Outside
her own family she occasionally gives
her hand to be kissed. The prince of
Wales, on the contrary, likes to shake
hands, and always offers his hand to
the person who is introduced to him. !.

Durability Of Railroad Tics.

The valuable paper communicated by
NJ. Renson to the recent international
railway congress, as translated by the
Scientific American, shows the results
gained during some twenty years of
experimental work carried out by the
Liege-Limburg railway, Belgium, on
which various kinds of metal ties have
been tested on different sections of the
road. For comparison, part of the
road was laid with oak sleepers, and
identical conditions assured as to ma
ture Of roadbed, drainage, weight of
rail, care in maintenance, etc. The
metal ties varied in shape and quality
from the crude forms of the earliest
ties to the more scientifically designed
later article. 1t was found that the
average life of the oak ties was thir-
teen years, while the average life of
tie earliest and crudest metal ties was
eighteen years. The latter ties have
their width decreased and their verti-

dences of faded fires. Warning had
been given that a long conversation
could not be allowed, but the talk
drifted round to a subject in which Mr..
Ruskin had been interested nearly for
ty years ago He remembered a GER
tain picture and contrasted it with
modern work by the same artist. His
memory had not failed him nor his
critical acumen. The portrait is from
the latest photograph, taken by Mr..
MeClelland, discard, and has not pre-
viously been published. 1t was taken

wealth of hair and silvery beard. 1t
will be remembered that the deputa-
ton which waited upon Mr.. Ruskin
on his eightieth birthday wished his
portrait to be painted by Holman
Hunt His health, however, would not
allow the project to be encouraged.

the strong. heavy femur; near each end
of the table a grinning skull is held
aloft upon a tripod of tibias. Wher-
ever there is available space the walls
are hung with diagrams of various por-
lions of the body representing the cir
culatory and nervous system, and the
muscles and organs. Over one door
the names of DR.. Nelson and DR..
Meyer are formed by fastening fingers
and toe bones upon board, which has
been painted in black, the letters
standing out prominently against the
black background On the opposite
wall the inscription Demonstrators

side by two stars. The dissecting
room, to which the bone room is a
valuable adjunct, is as neat and clean
as possible. The bones with which the
room is decorated are the accumula-
ton of twenty-five years, and many Of
them were gathered at a time when
bones were more easily procurable
than they are at present.

WR OTE MANY DRAMAS.

Edouard Jules Henri Pailleron, the
noted French dramatist and author, is
dead. He was one of the best OF the
French minor poets and was member
of the French Academy. or late he
had done very little writing and had
not produced a play for some years,
M. Pailleron was 65 years DID, Ha
was born in Paris, and made his debut
in letters in 1860 with satirical verses
which were very well received. His
first volume was called "The Para
Sites" and he wrote a one-act piece
to which he gave the name "The Par
asite," and which was produced at ths
Odeon with great success. Between
1863 and 1887 he wrote about a dozen
dramas, which enjoyed much popular.

istence, modern inventions, steam and
electricity, and the mad rush for wealth
result in ever increasing demands up-
on the brain and nervous system. And
under the strain many who have con-
genital or acquired defective nervous
organizations become insane, just as
the same class formerly did as a re-
suit Of fear and brooding over theolo-
gical problems. The insane are not
now tormented by the devil and his
imps, but telephones and monographs
are continually ringing in their ears.
Others suppose they have steam en-
gines in their heads, and many i'm
aglne they are prosecuted by men OF
large fortunes or of great political
power. Formerly those who were at
ficted with delusions of grandeur were
prone to imagine themselves to be the
Savior of the world or the Virgin Mary,
or some eminent saint. Now they are
more apt to think themselves to be
great investors or powerful politicians,
or the possessors of untold wealth. The
decisions OF the insane always take
this form and color from the questions
and problems which are most absorb
ing at the time.

For a long while the bones have
been lying around the college, many
packed away in boxes and of little use
to any one.
Zone day not long ago l conceived
the idea that if properly arranged and
displayed they might be turned to
great practical benefit. Accordingly
consulted the college authorities on the
subject, outlining my plan to them, for
the adornment of the bone room, and
they readily appreciated the idea and
granted me the desired permission to
go ahead. / have endeavored to ar
range the bones in a useful and scien-
tifc manner, and if they present a
sight most gruesome it is because of
the nature of the subject and not be-

iNAuouRATINo A BIRD DAY.
Movement to Make ornithoIogy Popular
Among Children.

AmOnk tDuurens
The Conservative, a Nebraska City
weekly paper. edited by ]. Sterling
Morton, contains in a recent issue
long plea for the addition of Bird day
to the school calendar, says the AL
bany Argus. C. A. Babeock, superin-
tendent of schools of Oil City, Pa, is
credited with being the originator of
the idea of Bird day. He wrote to Mr..
Morton in 1894 urging the establish
ment of such day on the same gen
eral plan as Arbor day, and his sugges-
ton met with the hearty approval of
the then secretary of agriculture, who
was himself the founder of Arbor day
May of the same year Oil City graf
flied the wishes of it's school superin-
tendent by giving effect to his idea.
This was the first Bird day, and ac-
cording to the testimony Of the Jour
nal of Education it was observed in
the Oil City schools With a degree of
enthusiasm which was good to see.
THE amount of information about
birds that was collected by the chill
dren was simply amazing. Original
compositions were read, informal dis
cussions were held, talks by teachers
were given, and the birds in literature
were not forgotten or overlooked"
Subsequent observances were equally
successful. A similar movement was
started in Iowa and in other states
there was an awakening of interest on
the subject. 1t engaged the sympathies
of the crusaders who deplore the sacri-
flee of birds to millinery and of those
who would check the murderous and
predatory instincts of small boys, but
there has as yet been no such general
support Of Bird day as has been ac-
corded to Arbor day. Time, however,
might well be spared to it, both be-
cause of the instruction and the pleas
ure it would bring. Here we note
stimulus that is real inspiration to
study. Tireless routine makes way for
a series of object lessons, in the prep
aration for which the youthful demon
strators have had their faculties of OBJ
servation exercised to the utmost. In
larger cities the study of bird life
might be made in the parks and in
those delightful books of which the
publishers are so lavish nowadays.
Never was there time before when
children could get at so many charm
ing and attractive volumes on any
branch of natural history, never time
when so much was done in literature
to correct the ignorance that has at
tackled the feathered allies of men in
field and forest as if they were enemies.
1t is good work that deserves the
general establishment of Bird day to
further its object.

BlSMARCK'S BOOMERANG.
Indemnity OF the War Had Surprising
Results.

indemnity OF the war llau surprising
Results.
There can be no doubt that the war
indemnity paid by France to Germany
after the six weeks war was a boom
erang to score up against Bismarck.
The good it did to France is ines
Unable. Prior to the war there was
an enormous amount of money locked
up in the form of small savings. The
appeal of the government to the peo
pie set this sum into profitable mo-
ton, and, to the amazement of the
world, France paid off her creditor in
less than half the stipulated time This
gave a vast impulse to business en-
terprise of all kinds, and since then
France has steadily become more
wealthy. In Germany the effects were
less beneficial The huge influx of
gold sent up prices with a rush. A
mania for speculation set in, followed
by the inevitable crisis. Most serious
of all however, was the unexpected
discovery of Frances strength. Bis
marck intended to cripple her forever,
but he only revealed her immense
power, and this, of course, necessitated
the gigantic military burdens which
year by year weigh more heavily upon
Germany.

RUSKIN IN OLD AGE.
GRAND OLD SOCIALISTIC PAIN
TER IS FEEBLE NOW.
rhe Lamp of Light Shows Signs of
Coming Extinguishment-Cl Closing Days
of Life Wen Spent - Scenes at
Brentwood.

The recent celebrations at Brant-
wood have called prominent attention
to Mr.. Ruskin's increasing years, and
also OF the declining powers of the
seer who wrote Modern Painters"
Brentwood is a fitting place for Sc
clusion and repose, we'll earned, at the
end Of a life long and strenuous, far
beyond the ordinary. Its windows
overlook "the shining levels of the
lake." itself the image of tranquility
and peace. A correspondent who has
recently visited Brentwood says that
Mr.. Ruskin now is able to take but lit
tie recreation. Most of his time is
spent in his study, from which there is
a fine view Of Coniston lake, and the
great falls at the southern end of it,
falls which were painted by Turner,
and which figure so prominently in the
descriptions in the "Idyls Of the
King" For some years past visitors
have been forbidden an audience ex-
cept in very rare cases. Brentwood,
as the many know, Is quite a temple
of art. Turner's have been crowded
into the place to the overshadowing of
all other artists, even men like old
Crome and William Hunt. Mr.. Rus
kins tiny bedroom Is hung all round
with specimens of the great master.
There are two studios at Brentwood,
and at the time of the correspondents
visit there stood on the easel Of one
of them Mr.. Ruskin's last study, an
enlarged peacock's feather. On being
ushered into the professors presence
the visitor was received very kindly.
There was an inquiring look in the
deep-set gray eyes, with their evil
