Brightly beams our banner,
Pointing 10 the sky,
Waving wanderers onward
To their home on high.
"Ah, Frank" said Mr.. Stanley
sit isn't the heavenward way you
mean, is it, ] should think you
would prefer the homeward way.
Frank, you are thinking too much
of the poor fellows we have lately
lost. Sing, my dear Frank, your
best song"
He responded by singing
Onward, Christian soldiers.
Mr.. Stanley saw that he was in q
serious and religious frame of mind
and refrained from urging him
further.
One of the most curious facts in
the history of the hymn aud tune is
that during the troubles of the
Armenians few years ago it caused
Government action, owing to the
Turkish suspicion of hymns. The
ignorant Moslems could not under
stand the martial spirit of Onward,
Christian Soldiers" and interpreted
the exhortation to ''Christian
soldiers" in the literal sense, as
meaning to fight the Turk. There
fore it was regarded as revolutionary
language and prohibited. after the
manner of the Index Expurgatorius
of the Pope.

tbs ANGLER FISH.

His Mammoth Mouth Snaps on What.
ever Touches the Protesting Fin.
Most remarkable OF strange fishes
Is the anglernsh, whose very name
seems paradox. The hshing-fsh
nevertheless. Is q reality. and stern
one to all who approach those awful
Jaws OF his. With a body the color OF
mud he genrally lies in the shadow OF
some rock on the bottom of the sea.
waiting motionless for the approach
OF his prey He Is provided with an
odd kind OF fin just over the mouth.
and this is held out In front OF him to
give warning OF the coming Of some.
thing to be swallowed One taken
alive was experimental on, and Il
was found that II this projecting fin
was touched with a stick, even though
the stick did not come near the
mouth, the jaws closed convulsively.
This shows that the fin by some pro
vision of nature closes the jaw as
soon as II is touched. The mouth Is
tremendous, growing to the width OF
a foot when the whole fish is only
three feet long. One OF these anglers
was caught not long since. and though
Il was only twenty-five inches long. a
fish fifteen inches long was found stick
ing in its throat The angler is pro-
yided with peculiar teeth set in dou-
BILE or treble rows along the jaws and
at the entrance Of the throat Some
OF these teeth are a foot long He is
not a pretty fish to look at, but he
attends strictly to business and win
swallow anything that touches his
warning fin. whether II is meant for
food or not. All kinds of things have
been found in the stomachs OF anglers,
from bits OF lead and stone to fish al.
most as large as the angler itself
This is without doubt one of the most
peculiar and interesting fish in the
whole ocean.--N. Y. Sun.

Several notable instances are re-

station was apparently unpercetved
