Why any one Should ever have de-

But the fish has not n single inter

average fish cares nothing for the pub

contempt. An aquarium without fish,

with real water and real fish is the

Once when he first came TO Lon
don and was laying the foundation Of
his great career, says a London letter.
the future Lord Chief Justice Russell
went to the pit of theater. The piece
was popular, the pit was crowded and
the young advocate had only standing
room. All of sudden man at his
side cried out that his watch was
stolen. Mr. Russell and two other
men were hemmed in.
1T is one of you three" cried the
man minus the watch.
well. we had better go out and be
searched" said Mr.. Russell, with the
alertness of mind that did not fail him
at trying moment amid an excited
crowd. \ detective was at hand, and
the suggestion was accepted. AS Mr.
Russell walked ont the idea flashed
through his mind that if the man be-
hind him had the stolen property he
would probably try to secrete it in the
pocket of his front rank man. Quick
as thought he drew his coattails about
him-only to feel, to his horror. some
thing large and smooth and round al
ready in his pocket.
While he was still wondering what
this might mean for him. the detective
energetically seized the hindmost man,
exclaimlng: What, you rascal! At it
again!' To Mr.. Russell and the other
man he apologized and bade them go
free
But Mr.. Russell, before he had taken
many steps. reflected that he could not
keep the watch. He went back to the
box office and explained. with cour-
age on which he afterward said he
rarely experienced greater demands,
that though he did not take the watch
he had it. So saying, he put his hand
into his pocket and pulled out-a for
gotten snuffbox.

Ohio Ahead.

According to the annual report of
the United States Geological Survey on
the production of petroleum, Ohio for
the year 1899 was in the lead
Since 1894 the State of Ohio has pro-
duced more petroleum than any other.
During 1898 it's two fields produced 40
per cent of the combined production of
the Appalachian and Lima Indiana
fields. West Virginia now stands next
to Ohio in the place of Pennsylvania
and is second in the order of states,
with Indiana fourth, California fifth
New York sixth and Texas seventh
The development of the Scio field in
1899 was factor which made the pro-
ducton of southeastern Ohio AGA 1856
barrels in 1899 as compared with q
1850 barrels in 1898. A portion of
both the Appalachian and the Lima
Indiana fields is embraced within the
geographical limits of Ohio. West
Virginia producing in 1899, 1890 $50
barrels, with value of sl7,059,510;
but Ohio, by producing Oil from both
fields and plenty cf it from each, is far
in the lead of either West Virginia or
Pennsylvania, and produced in 1899
21,142, 10S barrels which sold for $780,

has been handed down in their families
from one generation to another. and it
is secret art unknown to any other
people in the world.
"These women, living so far away
from everything, are ignorant Of the
fashions, and that is why the hats
never change their ugly shape. If they
were fashionably made, the demand
for them would be enormous. AS it is,
hatters travel through all that country

it. The trunk which remained in his
