Curley, of Newcastle, England. Curley

made bid for honors on this side. The
fight will be for rs rounds and already
there is some lively betting, with odds OF

Fishes That Fall Upwards.

This phenomenon cannot be witness ed everywhere You must go out to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, and then let yourself down into the sea for about two miles, if you wish to test the fact. At this depth the pres sure of the water is very greats great, in fact, that the fish, being used to the great weight, dare not enter shallow water for fear of falling up wards and bursting. Fishes which are adapted to considerable depths may accidently leave the bottom, swimming toward the surface. This allows the gases in their bodies to ex. pand slightly, and thus renders them more buoyant The more the gases ex= pand, the more buoyant they become. and the greater is the difficulty of returning to the depths, until finally the buoyancy of the body becomes so great that they are no longer able to return to the bottom. They continue to rise to the surface more and more rapidly, until the expanding of the gases in the body kills them. As soon as the bodies reach the surface. the release of all outer pressure causes them to burst into pieces.

Embraced by a DeYt1fish

A diver engaged in Moyne River in Australia had terrible experience with a sea-deyil. Having fired off charge of dynamite and displaced q large quantity of stones, he went to the bottom of the river and while en- gagged in rolling over large stone he saw something moving about in front of him. T his dark object came in con- tact with him and coiled about his arm. The diver walked slowly and painfully along with the sea-deyiPs feelers twined about his body ana legs. He made tracks for tue ladder and gained the boat. curious looking ob- ject indeed, with this huge, ugly thing entangled about his body With the help of tie sailors he was in time freed from his submarine companion. The body of the octopus was only about the size of q large soup plate. with eyes like q sheep's, but possessed nine arms, each four feet in length, at the butt as thick as q mans wrist and tapering off at the end like a pen knife. All along the under part of the feelers of this strange sea creature are suckers every quarter of an inch, giving it immense power.

THE CARE OF POULTRY.
Yard and Range Discussed and Some Yalu-
 able Suggestions Made,


 To obtain the best results from poul- try raising for eggs it is conceded that the fowls must be carefully watched and every care given to them. This is not possible when they are allowed the free range of the farm, nor is 1t possible to raise fowls in this way and obtain the high egg records heard about, the publication of which has in- Guced more lLan one man to engage in poultry culture only to be sorely disap- pointed. The egg record of the aver age barn yard fowl of no particular breed, on the range, does not average more than ninety eggs q year, while the yarded fowl of good breed has record of 175 or more eggs a year. It will be understood that in~adyOcating the yarding of fowls, growing chicks are not included, but only those that have been laying or have just begun. Before reaching this period the grow ing chicks should have the benefit of the free range to enable them to make frames on which later in yards, reli- anee is put for egg production.
 It must be remembered however, that yarded fowls require more and better care than those on the range if increased egg production is to be at tained The yard should be not only sufficiently large to give the fowls needeu exercise, but they should con- tain, supplied by the poultry man all that the fowls would naturally find on the range. That means grains, green food, meat grit, water and place to dust and scratch. This applies to winter treatment as well as summer. If farmers will but learn to observe the actions of fowls when on the range and be guided to q large extent by this in treatment of them when yarded much less trouble will be experienced. In yarding fowls the best arrangement is that which will permit of a double yard with the house ID the middle. Two such yards each 150 feet long, permit of keeping one or the other in green stuff from early summer until frost by sowing oats and rye. This green food, gathered by the hens themselves will subdue all natural in elination they may have for the free range and fill the egg basket to oyer- flowing.

USED TO BE LUCKY.
The Number Thirteen Was Not Un1ucky
 in OIden Times.

in OIden Times
 Thirteen There are probably lew men who in the innermost reeesses or their hearts have not some kind of an unpleasant emotion when it comes 10 13. Of course, there are some men who protest loudly-and usually Ill some hilarious company-that Is IS simply an odd figure, like IT and 19 and many others, and such men have formed the Thirteen clubs, of thirteen members who on the 18th of a month, particularly if this date happens to fall on Friday, eat q meal of thirteen courses at the thirteenth hour of the day.
 This is done, of course, to break the superstition attaching to 13, but this superstition will not down. For the love of the marvellous and mystic will not down. Were not Sulla, Sciplo, Caesar, Wallenstein, Napoleon and others superstitious? Is it not histor- ical fact that they all were under a spell and undertook no great action without having first consulted some medium?
 It is we'll known that all the nations of the old world were in more or less intellectual rapport. The ideas or one tribe descended to the other. But 1t is certainly interesting to learn that the figure 13 had it's sacred and divine meaning also in America of yore, among the long since extinct tribes of the Inoas and the Aztecs. The inhab- itants of Peru counted seven days, without any particular name, in the week. Their year had seven times hfty-two days, of four times 13 weeks. The father was compelled to support his iIlegitimate child to the 18th year. The Aztecs had weeks of 13 days, each with I special name. Their public archives were of circular form, with a sun in the center ot each of the 13 parts, and 13 were their tribes
 Thus the brief ancient history of 13, and it may be said of modern times in Germany that even to-day "bak- CTS dozen is 13, that is, the original twelve with one thrown in for luck.

HATS OFF IN CHURCHES.

The 'hats-off' reform among the fair sex has been generally adoDted in the theaters. but it has not, so far at least as St. Louis is concern ed, made any progress in the churches.
 Ia one Of the churches in an East err city the women objected to re- moving their hats because there was no place where they would be i'm mune against being mussed. The deacons a. once met the objection by providing a room for the pur- pose where young girls took charge of the hats and gave cheeks for them to their owners. This ar engagement made everything all right on the hat question as far as that particular congregation was concerned.
 The three leading churches in Columbus, Ohio, have established regulations which require the re moYal of headgear of all styles ot architecture, and in their lobbies have been posted conspicuously no tices to thiJ effect. The cities in which the churches have adopted the new plan the experience nas been that it at once became popular with the women themselves.
 They have grown to Ike the ar engagement of checking their hats and to sit bareheaded during ser vice, thus exhibiting the bewilder ing variety in the shades of their hair and the arrangement of their cultures. Republic.

Need No Water.

We are so accustomed to drinking water that we hardly ever stop to con sider how much we might suffer if suddenly deprived of this freest and best of beverages. Water in some form is necessary to preserve the health of humans, but there are ani- mals that seem to have little if any use for the liquid. The llamas of Patagonia, for instance, are said to never taste of water, and certain kinds of gazellies that are native to the dry wastes of the orient seem to thrive without it. A paroquet lived g years in the London zoological gardens with out drinking any water. Some nat uralists assert that the rabbit never drinks, being content with the dew that stands on the grass that it nib hles while feeding at night. Many reptiles live in arid wastes apparently destitute of water. In the neighbor- hood of Lozere, France, are herds of cows and goats that seemingly rarely drink, yet they produce a fine quality of milk from which is made the fam ous Roquefort cheese.

ON A BOOM.

The Arkansas river has been rising rapidly at this point for the past iorty-eight hours, but it is thought that the bulk of water has passed by this time. The water at this stage may affect few ot the low places on the river, as the Mississippi Is at a very high stage. No fear Is enter tained of an overflow unless very heavy rains occur at the headwaters of the Arkansas.

< Moonless Month

February, 1866, was in one way the most wonderful month in the worlds history. It had no full moon. January had two full moons, and so had March. :. but February had none. This re- markable state of things had never happened before since the era we as. sign to the creation.
