One strange feature Of this sea life OF
the tropics is the regular recurrence of
migratory swarns OF fish of very small
size that return in huge numbers year
after year with such absolute regular
ity that the natives calculate on the
event on certain day IN each year
and even within al hour or TWO Of the
day. One such swarm Of fish forms
the occasion OF an annual holiday and
feast ut Samoa The fish IS not unlike
the whiteba!t for which the English
Thames has so long been celebrated,
and each year it arrives at Samoa on
the same day in the month Of October,
remains for day. or at the most two
days. and then disappears entirely till
the same day OF the following year
Why it comes or whence no curious
naturalist has yet discovered. nor has
anybody traced It's onward course
when il leaves the Samoan group but
the fact is unquestionable that sudden
", without notice. The still waters Of
the lagoon which surround each Island
within the fringins reef become alive
with millions of fishes. passing through
them for single day and night and
then disappearing foy year as though
they had never come.-Lippincott's.

The LAMBS For Wall Street.


The brassy, measly peddler who
stands st the street corner selling brass
shirt studs for cents apiece and
shouting that he guarantees" them
TO be gold catches many a wandering
fool. The guarantee" is given by q
man who never expects TO see his Gus
toners again. and the customers never
expect to trade with him a second
time. But the word guarantee car
ries weight with 1t, and the fool and
his money, now as ever. are soon
parted.
Every days mail brings me letters Of
inquiry regarding the stability of set
OF Wall street sharks who offer 10
guarantee profits ranging from 10
10 100 per cent per month to all who
VIII give up their good money ana
trust the sharpers TO invest 1t ID the
naelstrom Of speculation. Scarcely
week passes without the report IN the
newspapers of the exposure, the tight
or arrest OF one of these sharks.
But the race OF fools seems 10 be
eternal, and It appears TO be only nee
essary for the Wall street bunko man
to take new name and 10 hire desk
room in Wall street or one OF It's
laterals to reap a new crop from new
line Of customers.-Leslie's Weekly.

While the man was apparently whis

THE HOTEL DEWEY.
An Addition TO Washington's List of
Hostelries.

The Hotel Dewey, which was opened TO
the public during the past week is a pleas
ing addition TO the list of hostelries in this
city. 1t is an entirely new structure erect
ed during the past season by Col. Nathaniel
Mckay on what was known as the Hosmer
property, on the south side of l. street be-
tween 18th and 18th streets northwest. II
is a roomy, well-hghted structure and the
plans, which Were made by Mr.. James 9.
HID, architect, are admirably designed for
the intended use.
The building has a frontage of eighty
eight feet and depth of III feet, to a wide
alley. There is also an alley on the west
side of the building, allowing windows on
that side, and in the center of the building
is a recessed court, which opens to the
south and affords all the advantages which
such an exposure in this climate affords
The front is built of red brick and stone,
and the plain but pleasing outlines are re-
lieved by two projections, which extend
through the height of the building. There
are 40 rooms in the house, besides some
thirty bath rooms. The dimensions of the
dining room make it one of the notable
apartments in the house, as it is ca by "a
feet The hotel is, of course, supplied with
elevators, is heated by steam and is under
the capable management of Mr.. George De
Shields, who is well known here as a hotel
man.

services Of natives whose capacity for tnc
performance Of Such duties Is recognized
by their fellow citiZens.'
