WAIT FOR THE DISROBING.
Strange Fact Revealed That Goldfish
Feast on HOLSTERS when the
Latter Shed Their Shells.

1t is probably news to the majority
of people to know that the red or
rock Goldfish is bitter enemy of the
lobster that has just crawled out of
his shell and is soft and unable to
protect himself, says the Lewiston
(Me) Journal, During shedding time
these Holsters crawl up under project
Ing rocks where the seaweed and kelp
are thick and where they find pro-
tected places in which to go through
the process of slipping out of their
of mail, so to speak. For some days
after shedding the Holsters are weak
and unable to cope with those fish
that wage war upon them. This fact
the Goldfish seem intuitively to know,
and they will swarm around these re-
treats in great numbers and wait for
the shedders to crawl out.
An old lobster fisherman said the
other morning that many times he
had stopped his dory over large
number of these red Goldfish and
watched their operations. He had
even dropped his line down and dam
gled tempting bait within few feet
of them. Unless it happened to fall
directly in front Of their noses, how
ever, they would seldom take 1t, as
they were after lobster meat. When
the thin-shelled Holsters would crawl
out from beneath the protecting sea-
weed the Goldfish would dart at them
and strike them fierce blows with
their tails, disabling them completely.
They would then fall to and devour
the helpless crustaceans. This per-
formance the lobster fisherman said
he had witnessed many times. The
shedding season is now practically
over, and the shells of the Holsters are
becoming firm and hard and they are
fully able to take care of themselves

and doctored and used various kinds
of medicines, but they benefited me
very little. There was constant
pain across my back, accompanied by
a dull bearing pown over my hips. 1t
bothered me great deal and made
me restless and nervous so l could
not sleep at night. A kidney weak
ness, distressing and annoying, was
also present. My daughter read
about Doan's Kidney Pills and she
called my attention to them. l got

OUR COAL GIRDLES EARTH.
United States Has Over 10000 Tons
Distributed at Various Points
for Use of Our Navy.

The United States has more than So.
900 tons of coal distributed at various
points throughout the world for the
use of warships, and this amount will
be increased by additions to be made
by schooners en- route. The largest
coal pile is at Manila, where there are
e4,oOO tons. AS large a quantity is now
on the way to the far west.
At Guam there are 1855 tons, and q
station to accommodate 10 ,00Ois to be es.
tablished. Honolulu naval coal pills
of 1898 tons, and Rear Admiral Brad
ford has prepared plans for locating
nm tons there. There are about 2, 500
~- ha"o, and an increase Of
$500 ton made upon the COM
pletion of the coal house under con-
struction at that point. At San Juan,
Porto Rico, the navy controls 8 1926 tons.
For the use of the North Atlantic
squadron during the coming winter
Rear Admiral Bradford will send to
Guantanamo two coal barges, carry
ing 1,760 tons, which are now at Port
Royal. The navy also has coal at An
napolis, Boston, League Island, New
London, Norfolk, Port Royal and Key

SHOWS DECREASE.
Failing on Reported in the Annual
Post Office Deficit of About
$1,5OO,OOO.

There was deficit in the postal re-
$780, 900, less than that of the previ-
Gus year. Henry Castle, auditor of the
post office department, has just re-
ceived from the bookkeeping division
the trial balance showing receipts
and expenditures of the postal service
for the year ended June 30, 1900. This
statement, taken in connection with
that of the money order statement,
which was completed a week ago,
shows the entire financial results of
the postal service for the fiscal year.
The financial statement of the postal
service proper for the year 1900 is: Ex-
penditures, $1O7 249, 29s.1a; revenue,
$102, 1854, 5000; excess of expenditures
over revenue, $4,s94,71s.s The excess
of expenditures over receipts, or net
deficit of the postal service, is about
S1,500,000 less than the deficit for the
preceding fiscal year.
The principal item Of revenue is the
sale of stamps and stamped paper.
That item for the year under review
amounted to S94,013, e99.63, an increase
OF So, 1881 45.62 over the preceding year.
The total financial transactions Of
the postal service, including the mon.
ey order statement, were $714, 1894 1917
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1900.
Compared with the transactions Of
1896 there is shown to be a growth Of
$1S0,00O,00O. This increase is just 33 ia
per cent.

CAT BITE LEADS TO WEDDING
DR.. Rnmbnud of Phsteur Institute AZ
New York City Mnrries
Miss Bryan.

DR.. George Gibier Rambaud, Of New
York, and Miss Lulu Fowler Bryan, of
Houston, Tex, were married the other
night The church had been elaborate
" decorated with feur de lis and mari
gold, the flowers Of France and Amer
lea. And this idea had been carried out
at the residence of the brides mother,
where the happy couple was rendered \
reception.
The wedding was the social event Of
the season. DR.. Rambaud is the head
Of the Pasteur institute of New York.
There is a romance attached to the
wedding somewhat out of the usual or
der. Some time ago Miss Bryan was
attacked by rabid cat and was severe
ly bitten. She was taken to the Pas
teur institute at New York by her
mother, Mrs. BERTHE Bryan, for treat
ment. Here she met DR.. Rambaud, who
personally attended to her, and by the
time there was no longer danger of
rabies there had been formed an at
tachment between the young people
which, following the usual course of
love stories, resulted in wedding.
DR.. and Mrs. Rambaud will make a
protracted tour of the south before
taking up their residence in New York.
