ABOUT THE CATFISH.
Is Not Yet Made Fully Into a Perfect
Fish-Some of Its Queer
Ways.

The catfish belongs to an ancient
type not yet fully made into fish, and
hence those whose paired fins are all
properly fastened to the head, as his
are not, hold him in well-merited scorn.
He has no scales and no bright colors.
His fms are small, and his head and
mouth are large. Around his mouth
are eight long ''smellers," fieshy feel
ers, that he pushes out as he crawls
along the bottom in search of anything
that he may eat. AS he may eat any
thing, he always finds it. His appetite
is as impartial as that of goat. Any
thing from deal lamprey or bunch
of sunfsh eggs to a piece of tomato
can is grateful to him. In each of the
fins which represent his arms is a long,
sharp bone, with slimp surface and
serrated edge. These are fastened by
a ball and socket joint, and whenever
the fish is alarmed the bone is whirled
over and set in place, then it sticks out
stiffly on each side. There is another
such bone in the fin on the back, and
when all of these are set there is no
fish that can swallow him, says the
Popular Science Monthly.
When he takes the hook, which he
surely will do if there is any hook to
be taken, he will swallow it greedily.
AS he is drawn out of the water he
sets his three spines, and laughs to
himself as the boy pricks his fingers
trying to get the hook from his stom-
ach. This the boy is sure to do, and
because the boy of the Mississippi val-
ley is always fishing for catfish is the
reason why his fingers are always sore.
The catfish is careless of the present
and sure of the future. After he is
strung on a birch branch and dried in
the sun and sprinkled with dust and
has had his stomach dug out to recover
the hook, if he falls into the brook he
will swim away. He holds no malice,
and is ready to bite again at the first
thing in sight.

Tucked FIVE CENTURIES.
The Famous Old Town Clock iR
Rouen Has Kept Time for
SO Years.

Rouen, one of the principal cities of
France, and the greatest seat of its cot
ton manufacture, possesses the oldest
public clock in the world. The great
Rouen clock has held its place in that
city for $40 wears and is the pride of it's
citizens. Placed in 1889, it has been
running without interruption from
that day to this, requiring nothing ex-
cept cleaning and few trifing repairs
of its accessory parts. The great clock
upon its eXactitude as a matter of
course that when, in 1872, the breaking
of wire prevented it's sounding five
o'clock one morning, the population
was in a state of CONSERVATION.
The magistrates summoned the GUS
todian-Guillaume Petit-and remon-
strated gravely with him. Until 1712
the great clock had no pendulum. For
1923 years it had no other regulator than
a ''foliot," an apparatus unknown to
the majority of modern clockmakers.
The pendulum in clockwork was intro
duced in 1859, but so well satisfied were
the people of Rouen with the time
keeping qualities of their famous old
clock that SO years were allowed to pass
before a pendulum was substituted for
the 'foliot." Equipped with this new
apparatus it has continued to this day
to strike the hours and chime the quar-
ters

PRESIDENT BUYS A HOME.
The "MckinIey Cottage" at Canton
Has Been Purchased.

CANTON, O., Aug. 7-President Nc
Kinley has purchased the Mckinley
cottage" at the corner of North Market
street and Louis avenue. The deal was
closed Saturday. The consideration was
$4,000. He will secure possession in
October The property was not on the
market. 1t is endeared to the president
and Mrs. Mckinley as their first home,
where they began housekeeping, and by
many memories. The lot is 100 feet
front on Market street by 244 on Louis
avenue.
The front veranda shows the most
wear from the campaign of 1896, when
the home was the political Mecca for
nearly 100000 people.
Before leaving Canton for the inaugu-
ration President Mckinley tried to buy
the house. 1t is not believed that Mrs.
Hartes would have sold the place to any
one else. 1t is believed to be the presi-
dents intention to spend a part of each
summer in Canton. The interior of the
house has always been roomy and cool
and comfortable.

AMERICAN GIRLS RETORT.
Her Quick wit and Knowledge OF
French Once stood Her in
Good stead.

As one of our countrywomen was
going down the rather narrow stairs
that lead from the house to the gar
den, at the American embassy, she met
three or four young attaches of for
eign legations, who were entire stran-
gers to her, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. Their politeness induced
them to stand aside for her to pass,
but their courtesy did not prevent their
making audible personal comments.
They seemed to take it for granted
that French was an unknown tongue to
Americans.
Look at her yellow dress; it's very
pretty" said No. /.
Eyes, but she has on white gloves"
announced No. 2.
"She has good teeth" said No. 3.
"And an enormous mouth" added
No. 4.
And she understands French per-
fectly," said the owner of the enormous
mouth, turning suddenly upon them,
land would like to say that her ears
are even bigger than her mouth" This
in French and with such an air of CIV
ing impersonal information to nobody
in particular, that it was quite as if
she had been kindly helping strangers
to information out of guide book.
The men had just enough presence of
mind to flee the premises.

THE WORLDS GOLD.
United States, Formerly at the Head,
Now Takes Third Place.

Now Takes Third Place.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-The direct
or of the mint has nearly completed his
estimate of the worlds gold production
for the year 1898. The data at hand
seems to warrant the conclusion that the
production will amount to at least 1904
100000 and possibly $685. 100000 Africa
leads all other countries with $50 100000,
with Australia second with $67, 10000
and the United States third with S64,-
AGA, 1000. Russia is credited with $685.
100000, Mexico with $10,000,000 and
Canada, including the Klondke, with
S14,000,OO0
In 1897 Africa produced SOS, 100000,
with the United States second with $780,
1868, 900 and Australia third with Son.
64S,O00, Russia fourth with 500, 245, 900,
Mexico fifth with $9,436,0O0 and Can
ada, including the Klondike, sixth with
$6,0270 600. The total was 1921, 500, 900.
OF the 100000 credited to Canada in
1898 about $1O,O00,000 came out of the
Klondike, and in the estimate of the pro-
duction of the United States during the
last year 50, 524, 900 came from Alaska.
In 1896 and for nearly so years pre-
viously the United States occupied the
first place in the worlds production of
gold. In that year the output of the
world was estimated at $202, $50, 600.
These figures are subject to revision in
making up the final estimate, but are
believed to be approximately correct.
