says the London Chronicle. One would
think that the horseman would be
equally careful to provide for POSSIBLE
tiles and accustom himself to mount
ing indifferently from the off side and
the near side. But if he were to ven
ture to mount on the right side-which
is the wrong side-in a hotel stable

THE PARADISE FISH.
One of the Wonderful PiscatOrfa
Rarities Found In China.

One of the Wonderful PiscatOrfal
Rarities Found In China.
The oldest of all piscatorial rarities
is the paradise fish Of China. Like the
German canary and one or two other
species of bird and fish, this little finny
beauty is the product of cultivation
only. there being no place in the world
where it is found in q wild state. In
the land of the dragon they are kept
and cultivated in ornamental aquart-
ums, each succeeding generation of the
little oddities exhibiting more diver
sified colors. The male is the larger of
the two sexes, measuring when full
grown three and half inches. The
body is shaped very much like that Of
a common pumpkin seed sunish, it's
color surprising in brilliancy any fish
heretofore cultivated for the aquarium.
The head of macropodus Chats his
generic name) is ashy gray, notified
with irregular dark spots. The gills
are azurine blue. bordered with bril-
liant crimson.
The eyes are yellow and red, with a
black pupil. The sides Of the body and
the crescent shaped caudal fin are deep
crimson, the former having from ten
to twelve vertical blue stripes, while
the latter is bordered with blue. The
upper surface of the body is continual
ly changing color-sometimes it is
white. at others gray, black or blue.
The dorsal and anal fins are remarka-
bly, large. hence it's generic name -
macro. large; podus, fin or foot Both
fins are shaped alike and are striped
with brown and bordered with bright
blue. The dull colored ventral fins are
protected by brilliant scarlet colored
spine, extending three-fourths of an
inch behind the body of the fin. The
pectoral fins are we'll shaped. but trans
parent and colorless.

TWO DECORATIONS.
From Hays Eulogy ON Mckinley n
Blainc's EulOgy on Garfield.

From Hays EulOgy ON Mckinley and
Blaine's Eulogy on Garfield.
It is a curious coincidence that on
Feb. 81, 1882. and OH Feb. 81, 1902, a
secretary Of state of murdered presi-
dent delivered eulogy of his dead
chief before the houses of congress.
Mr.. Hay, primarily a writer, showed
the essayist in his Grafton on Mckin-
ley. Mr.. Blaine. primarily speaker,
showed the orator in his Grafton on
Garfield. Here Is the peroration OF
Hays eulogy Of Mckinley:
There is not one Of us but feels prouder
OF his native land because the august hg-
ure of Washington presided over Its be-
ginnings; no one but vows 1t tenderer
love because Lincoln poured out his blood
for it, no one but must feel his devotion
for his country renewed and kindled when
he remembers how Mckinley loved. re-
vered and served it. showed in his life
how a citizen should live and In his last
hour taught us how a gentleman could
die.
Blaine's grafton on Garfield ended
with this famous passage:
AS the end drew near his early craving
for the sea returned The stately man
sion of power had been to him the weari-
be taken from his prison wallis from its
oppressive, sitting air, from its home
lessness and it's hopelessness. Gently. ST.
lently, the love of great people bore the
pale sufferer to the longed for healing of
the sea to live or to die, as God should
will, within sight Of the heaving pillows,
within sound of it's manifold voices. With
a wan, fevered face tenderly lifted to
the cooling breeze, he looked out wistful-
ly upon the oceans changing wonders, on
it's far sails. on its restless waves rolling
shoreward to break and die beneath the
MONDAY sum- on the red clouds of even
ing, arching low to the horizon; on the
serene and shining pathway of the stars.
Let us think that his dying eyes read a
mystic meaning which only the rapt and
| parting soul may know. Let us believe
| that in the silence of the receding world
| he heard the great waves breaking on a
| farther shore and felt already upon his
| wasted brow the breath Of the eternal
| morning.
