FISH STORIES.

A big Norwegian timber ship-very
old, sluggish and weedy-sailed into
Ramsgate harbor one day, and after
her followed mighty shoal of mullet,
very fine and marketable fish.
They filed the outer harbor until the
water seemed stiff with them. When
the dock gates opened and the ship
went through into the inner basin, the
great shoal of mullets followed,
swarming in the bark's wake.
Whether they were seeking shelter,
or were attracted by the trailing
growth of weed on the old ships I'M
dersides, is a matter for guessing.
When the tide was out the dock
siuices were opened and the water
drained off. The bottom of the dock
was four feet deep in kicking, Jumping
Gsh-most of them fine, large ones OF
two pounds and upward. 1t took all

About twenty carloads were taken
away, and thousands of mullets were
crushed into the mud on the dock
floor. That catch realized ESQ in a
few hours.

Breathing.

Great men are as rule deer
breathers.
Breathing exercises are benefi
cial to every organ. They give thf
hody an erect bpsring and incarHsr
the faculty for work Whrth' :
Ole hopes To excel either III mrut;i'
or physical work, the ability L.
breathe deeply is valuable.
The lungs may be developed by
any one without the assistance nf
an instructor or gymnastic appara-
tus.
One of the FIRST rules is to
breathe through the nose. Nine
people in ten in taking long
breath will open their mouths wide
The mouth was never intended by
nature as an air passage. 1t is
too large, and allows a great
draught of cold air too strike
directly upon the delicate lung
cells.
The nose allows only a small
ouantitv of air TO reach the lunOS.
and this, by passing through the
nasal passage, is more or less
warmed to the temperature of the
body before reaching the lungs.
Deep breathing strengthens the
entire spinal column. On taking
a long breath the diaphragm
should be drawn in, the chest
thrown out and the head held
back. Every deep breath taken in
this way tends to enlarge by. so
much the cavity of the chest, thus
increasing the lungScapacity. i.
The average man has the power
to intfease the general efficiency
of his body about 80 per cent. 'by
devbtIng few minutes day to
breathing exercises.

In this paper is published a synop-
sis of the annual report of Hon. R. J..
Mauck, Inspector of Ohio Building and
Loan Associations, which has just
been filed with the Governor. This re-
port contains most valuable informa-
tion and shows conclusively that Mr.
Mauck is the right man in the right
place. AS rule statistics are dry and
tiresome, but in this case they consti-
tute reading that is not only of good
service from reference standpoint
but that which is also interesting and
entertaining as well. Mr.. Mauck's re-
port is filed much earlier. than ordin-
arily, which is evidence both of enter
prise and ability.

FORGED CHECKS
Passed by |. C. Burch and an ALLEGED
Confederate.

An important capture was made
Tuesday morning by Marshal j. H.
Dye. The arrest of two men who are
charged with passing worthless checks
was accomplished and both are now in
prison. One man gave the name of
Lincoln Burch but would not give his
place of residence, sullenly telling
the officers to find out for themselves.
The other man says that his name is
Owen Conlin. and that his home is in
Belvidere, New York.
Burch, who has been frequenting
the saloons of the city and drinking
heavily for the past week. evidently
ran out of funds and determined to Sc
cure money by passing forged checks.
A check in the sum of $25 drawn on
the First National Bank of this city
payable to and duly endorsed by ]. C.
Barrows, was cashed for Burch by
Chas. Hendershot, who is proprietor Of
a saloon on Ohio street. Another
check drawn in favor of ]. c. Quinn
and signed by Frank Tipps on the
First National Bank. was taken by
Chas. Richards at it's face value of $40.
The First National disclaimed all
knowledge of such parties when the
checks were presented to them for
payment.
The police were accordingly notified
of the occurrence and Marshal Dye
was called to Wayne street by the in
formation that Burch was in saloon
in that neighborhood. Burch,
when he learned for what offense he
was wanted, resisted arrest in a des-
perate manner, but after being rough
ly handled was finally compelled to go
to the county Jail, where he was
searched and locked up
There was, however. another man in
ficers arrived and the former made
himself unnoticeable when his COM
rade was arrested. He was finally
found at the corner of Greene and
Front streets and taken into custody.
AS stated before. his name is suppos-
ed to be Owen Conlin. He vigorously
denied all knowledge of the forged
checks and while admitting an ac-
quaintance and association with
Burch for the past three days, dis
claims any knowledge of the checks
or completely in drawing them.
Burch, however. says that Conlin
drew the checks and secured part of
the money secured from cashing them.
The hearing of the men will prob
ably take place today. The case
against Burch looks very strong and
he will probably be held for trial.
