INTELLIGENCE OF FISHES.
Curious Indications of It Noted by an Old Eastern Fisher.
 man.

Here is a curious thing that fishes do, and one that seems clearly to show great intelligence" said an old fisherman, according to the New York Sun. Tt might be that two fishes some feet apart saw the same ob- Ject of prey, maybe a smaller fish, at the same instant, and they might both dart for it at once and come violently into collision while their prey escaped. Now that would be when they had each the same chance of capturing what they wanted; they would both make a dash for it. But often l have seen something very different happen. Of two larger fishes following along side by side and pretty we'll closed up together pur- suing a minnow, I have seen the rearmost sheer of and let the other fellow have it; apparently, either be- cause he knew he couldn't reach it, and there was no use of his trying any more, or because he knew that if he kept on and mixed in he would make the fish ahead lose the game, as well as himself. This last would seem to indicate, besides intelligence, unselfishness on the part of fish No. 2; but the action of sheering of when he saw he couldn't get it, showed intelligence, anyhow"

AGUINALDO AND MACAROONS.
PiGgishness of . Youthful Namesake of the Famous Fili-
 pinO.

Tt was in London" said the girl, Caroline Lockhart in New Lippin- colt, that I made my last soulful en- try. At the table next to us at a London restaurant sat a female mis- sionary from Manila. bringing home with her boy Filipino. evidently as an awful example of the table man. ners of that country. The mission ary was short-haired lady, who wore, among other remarkable things, sailor hat and big spec tacles. Her cloth gaiters consistently toed in; but she beamed with pride as she gazed upon her convert. As for the convert, he looked like a miniature edition of Aguinaldo, and he ate like a pet coon. That night we had macaroons. Now, little Agui- naldo reasoned that he wasted valu- able time chewing his food, so he bolted the macaroons as he had sue cessfully gobbled the fore part of his dinner. Whether he did not get the right twist, or whether the maca- rooms were not boys size I shall never know. I only know that he suddenly stopped, gasped distressing ly and rapidly grew black in the face. The missionary lady leaped to her feet and pounded the back of her re- deemed heather till she herself be- came hatless and bereft of her spec tacles. The head waiter pranced over and banged the Filipino's hunched shoulders till it sounded like drum corps. But his beady eyes only bulged the more. Then they carried the boy and his macaroon out into the hall, where the head waiter swung him by his heels until a yell popped from him that treasured us. But the missionary lady never for gave me for the grin she saw on my face when it looked as if little Agui- naldo's sweet young life was about to be cut short by macaroon."

Poison in Tubera.

Potatoes contain the alkaloid solan- in, although this fact is not generally recog- ',ed. New potatoes contain comparatively little of this poison, unless they grow above the surface of the ground and have green skin, when they are generally known to be poisonous. It is not, however, known generally that old potatoes contain much of this poisonous principle, and that many cases of serious poisoning have occurred in late summer when old potatoes were used.

PROFITS FROM WASTE.
Financial Gain of . BiR City fro~ the Gathering of Trines fn
 Public Buildings.

Very few people know what be- comes of the waste which they scat ter over the floors of the city hall or throw heedlessly into the baskets of that mighty pile, says the Philadel- phia Record. Yet the city makes from $500 to 5000 and S7OO on this waste every year. The cleaning of the building has been intrusted to the public buildings commission and to the chief of the bureau of city prop erty, the former having charge of the corridors, the latter dominating over the $50 odd rooms in the edifice. Each, in turn. employs a large force of sweepers.
 On each floor are four receptacles, with great bronze doorways. situated in the supporting walls and opening into shaft that runs from the roof to the basement, where it enters a large room called the waste basket" These rooms are cleaned out twice week. and their contents carted away-all except the paper, which is always separated from the other waste matter and sold.
 In amount of rubbish the city com- missioners hold first place, the sur vey bureau second, the council cham bers third and the buildings commis- sion fourth. From them come speci- fications, ballots, old correspondence, drawings and iron, copper and tin waste, which all sell at good prices. All the profits from this source are turned over by the various heads to the city treasurer.

HORSE DIED OF FRIGHT.
Poor old Nag succumbs to the Shock Caused by Q Steam
 Engine.

An old horse named Patsy had out lived her days of usefulness, so her owner, who was very much attached to her, sent her into the country to spend her old age. She was free to wander in a meadow rich with grass, and she probably was very happy, talk ing her ease after long life of service as riding horse, lady's carriage horse and lastly the trusted carrier of some half dozen merry children, who piled on and off her broad back with never touch of fear. The children missed her so much they begged to be taken into the country to see Patsy, so one day the mother consented to take them. says the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 Now, the train they were on ran right through the meadow where Pat sy lived, and as they came into it the children looked out and saw their old friend and cried out in joy. Just at that moment the engineer thought "how funny it would be to frighten old attle-bones, feeding so lazily there!" and he blew such blast on his whistle as they neared the old horse that she jumped high into the air and fell down on the ground. He laughed and thought it was very funny, but when the children ran to see Patsy they didn't see anything funny about it. There she lay, stone dead, killed by sudden fright, the veterinary surgeon said.
