You who have been wearing coats

haps never stopped to consider the nicl
in the lapel A controversy is now IL
progress on the other side of the At
lantic as to how this originated. The
following ingenious explanation has al
length been offered:
1t is said that when Napoleon first
felt the sway of ambition he tried to
implicate General Moreau in Piche-
gru's conspiracy. Moreau had been
Napoleon's superior and was exceed
ingly popular, but under the circum.
stances, with the man Of destiny in
power, it was not safe to express pub.

mirers and supporters quietly agreed
to nick their coat lapels to show their
fellowship, the outlines Of the coat

remarkable stalagmite caves within
two hours walk from Tanga, in east
ern Africa Passing through several
chambers rising to height of from
100 to $50 feet, he reached vast sa-

A Fish with teeth on Hi. Tongue.

A Fish With Teeth on His Tongue.
The biggest of fresh water fishes, the
"arapaima" of the Amazon, in South
America, which grows to six feet in
length, has teeth on it's tongue, so that
the latter resembles the file and is used
as such. Some kinds of trout also have
the same popularity. Fishes that swal-
low their prey entire have their teeth
so supported on flexible bases as to
bend backward, but not forward, in
order that their victims shall not es-
cape after they have been once seized.
In ages gone by there were ferocious
sharks, such as would make a mouth
full of you without blinking, 20 feet in
length
Plenty of their teeth have been found
which are five inches long. whereas the
biggest of the teeth belonging to sharks
that exist at the present day are IL
inches long. Speaking of extinct crea-
lures reminds me to say that all of the
early birds-those of early geological
times. that Is had teeth. with which
they captured the early worms of the
same period. Being descendant from
reptiles, it is natural that they should
possess a dental equipment, but when
they ceased to be carnivorous they had
no teeth any longer.

sail Water Fish.

The number of species Of fishes liv-

world can only be approximately esti-
mated. probably about 10000. Those
classed as "shore fishes" live, as rule,
close to the surface and near the land
and are we'll known to the salt water
angler in his outings as the weakfsh,
striped bass. kingish, etc. OF the shore
fishes there are about 1000 species.
The "pelagic fishes" or those which in
habit the upper waters of the seas, are
relatively few in number. The deep
sea fishes" which live in depths vary
ing from 200 to $500 fathoms. cannot
be even approximately estimated, as

The Broke BRIGADE.

When the last string snaps and man goes broke,
He turns to the woods or the sea;
He cuts clean loose from the home bred folk,
While love and honor GO up like smoke,
And life Is gamble and death is joke
And the universe good to see.
There's brand new sort Of fate for him;
They may languish early and late for him,
The bird on the wing is mate for him,
And the hawk on the hunt goes free.
There's the brown and gloom Of the forest track,
Where the deer go ghostly by;
There's the starving camp and the dead weight
pack,
The moose hide lodge or the trapper's shack,
And VOLTS fierce life in the pine woods black,
And the freedom Of the sky.
There's the plunging deck and the jarring screw
And the oilskins bright with foam,
The stokeholes blaze and its naked crew
Or the topsails drenched with the gulf stream
dew,
And the sharp, salt breath Of the landless blue,
Where man forgets his hons.
We know it, my friends Of the ''broke brigade"
Pals OF the plain and sea;
Single handed and unafraid,
The artists of life and the fools of trade.
But we think we know how the game Is played
And we know where it's best to bel
There are some that may wait and pray for usi
There is luck that never will stay for us,
But the woods and the waves will make way fcE

Victoria assembled the throne at an In
suspicious moment. Kingship had fall
en- into a miserable disrepute. The
last three monarchs who had sat upon
our throne had done little to make
their office easy or glorious. George III
had obscured whatever virtues were
his by an obstinacy of opinion which
lost us a vast colony and which might
well have enslaved US to foreign
power.
George " had died unwept and I'M
pitied As he had made his distin-
guished Office a scandal, as he had
made his throne ridiculous by deplor-
able levity of taste and conduct, so he
had forfeited the affection Of his peo-
pie and alienated their sympathy long
before death overlook him. 'There
never was an Individual" proclaimed
The Times but a few weeks after his
death, ''less regretted by his fellow
creatures than this deceased king.
What eye has wept for him? What
heart has heaved one throb Of unnec-
essary sorrow2" And The Times ex-
pressed in those bitter words nothing
less than the popular Judgment
Nor can it be said that William Nv
graced the throne Of Britain. Loved
for his homely virtues, he raised
smile of kindly contempt by his lack
of dignity and his frank misunder-
standing of kingly ceremonial. On the
day of his Accession he escaped from
his council and was found throwing
shillings to noisy crowd In back
street, and never did he acquire the
rudiments of tact which should be the
first wisdom of kings. -Blackwood's.

THE rapid increase of insanity in
the population of the country is a
lamentable fact and one worthy OF
serious consideration. All four of
the insane asylums OF Virginia are
crowded with these unfortunates, and
often on this account it becomes
necessary to keep a lunatic confined
in Jail. Virginia is not alone in this
respect. The same deplorable condi-
tions exist in some Of the other States.
Insanity is one OF theworst Affections
that can befall human being; and
the fact that some of these sOrely
afflicted persons are forced to he kept
confined for a time at least in COM
mon jails is a sad commentary upon
our boosted civilization as we'll as
our system of government. Themost
favorable envirOnmentsfO for the restO-
ration of the unatics should be pro-
vided, for it is conceded that such
conditions are absolutely necessary
to their recovery. 1t is a shame that
the hopelessly demented and those
patients who with proper treatment
might be restored TO reason should
be crowded together in inadequate
quarters with unfavorable surround
ings. Norman has any guarantee that
either he himself or some one dear to
him may not at any time become fit
subjects for a nnatic asylum. The
question is one OF much magnitude
and one in which the whole commu-
nifty is greatly interested. 1t should
be agitated in every State until the
best possible means for the comfort
and restoration Of the insane shall
be procured.
