of one case that
rilcd me, says q
writer for the Gin
cinnati Tribune. An Avondalean who
patronizes swell tailor was often
quite familiar with him, often jok-
ing, and, perhaps, drinking with him
occasionally. Now it comes about
that the tailor was at the opera the
other night with a charming lady
who, while not member of the swell
set, is one whom it is pleasure to
know. The tailor passed the Avon
dalean during an intermission, and,
for a-polite bow, received an icy
stare-because the snob had swell
society girl with him. He showed an
absolute lack of breeding and for this
reason: If he does not want the ac-
quaintance of his tailor it is his busi-
ness to treat him as merchant and
let it end there But if he jokes and
chats and drinks with him occa-
sionally, it is his business to answer
polite bow in public, especially If
ladies are in the party.

A MYSTERY TO SCIENCE.
Curious Dilemma of Fish Commits
sioners when They Receive n
Request for EeIs Eggs.

1t is no uncommon thing for the
fish commissioners to receive appli-
cations for consignments of eels'
eggs wherewith to stock pool or
stream. The request is invariably
refused, not because there is any in
tention 10 hc disobliginr, but for the
reason that nobody in this world
knows whether eels lay eggs or not,
says Washington report to the Chi
cago American.
If they do, man has never beheld
them, and to get hold of any is quite
out of the question. In case you
want to esta blish eels in your water
preserves you can buy young ones by
the pailful at a cheap rate, and they
will grow big enough to eat or send
TO market within three years.
1t may fairly be said that the eel,
as to its breeding, is the most mys-
terious animal in existence. Its
methods of propagation have puzzled
science for centuries, and have been
subject of more or less supersti-
tious speculation among many peo-
pies for thousands of years. The an
cient Egyptians had their own theo-
ries regarding the matter.
Some authorities have contended
that eels grew up from horsehairs,
which in some strange manner be-
came vitalized. Others have held
that they were generated spontane-
ously from slime, while Others still
have gravely advanced the belief
that they came from the skins of old
cells. or even from similar eXuyial
water snakes.
That eels mate with water snakes
is very generally accepted as truth.
Most popular with people who get
| their living from the water, however,
| is the theory that eels are the
progeny of various other fishes, The
Sandman fishermen assert that they
are produced by a certain kind OF
water beetle, which, for this reason
is called mother of eels."
The Greek poets, who fathered al
children otherwise unaccounted fol
upon Jupiter declared that this GOO
was the progenitor of the eel.
All lnlS mystery sboul tHc SSi, az
science has learned in recent years
is due to the fact that it lays its eggs
or brings firth its young alive in the
sea, whcr2 no one has a chance tt
observe the process. Other fishes
like the shad, leave the ocean t,
spawn in fresh water streams, bu
this curious and slippery custome
does precisely the reverse.
The young eels,. newly born o

BRILLIANT OPENING
King Edward Reviyes Many of the
Ancient Customs in the Form

ev scrirps-McRss Press Associstion.
London, Jan. liking Edward
opened Parliament today, the event
being notable for tho revival Of some
of the ancient customs. The whole
ceremony was attended by great dis
play and pomp. The King and Queen
drove through London in u golden
coach drawn by eight cream horses
surrounded by postillions aud equer-
ries. In the five carriages preceding
rode some of the members of the proud
est families in all England.
In the robing room of the house of
parliament crimson and velvet robes
trimmed with gold, lace and jewels
hung over royal shoulders and the
blare of trumpets announced Edward S
entrance into the assembly room.
The Ki1g assisted the Queen to the
throne around which the Prince and
Princess of Wales and other royalty
grouped themselves.
Previous to the Kings arrival the
cellars of the house of parliament
were searched by officials for Guy
Favkes conspirators, a custom which
has prevailed since Fawkes tried to
blow up parliament hundreds of years
ago.
The King in his speech touched on
the enthusiastic welcome given the
Prince of Wales on his tour around
the world and said that the relations
of the foreign powers continued friend
ly. He said; ~ regret that the war
in Africa is not yet concluded, but the
area of the var is now largely restrict
ed operations are favorable to our
arms and industries are being resumed.

ing of the highest praise
The King discussed the loyalty OF
the colonies, sugar bounties and men
toned the Isthmian canal which is to
be open to all by an agreement with
the United States.
The Kings voice was easily heard

WOULD TUNNEL 18TH MUS
Third Canal Route to be Proposed to
the Committee.

New York, Jan. 15-Plans for a new
Isthmian ship canal, to use neither
the Panama nor the Nicaragua routes,
will be presented next Thursday be-
fore the Senate committee on canals
by General Edward W. Serrel for the
Isthmus Canal Company, and the
Isthmian company, both corporations
of New Jersey. The route for the
canal proposed is from the Gulf of
San Bias to the Pacific ocean behind
the Pearl islands, and is called the
Mandigo route. 1t will be proposed
that the company buildthe work under
the supervision and protection of the
government without any cost TO the
United States, which, however, will be
asked to guarantee the bonds of the
company. The company will propose
that the government have the use of
the canal free of charge for all gov
ernment vessels, and if at any time
the company does not do as agreed
the government shall take possession
of the canal. The company asserts
that it has secured Alright Of way. The
newly suggested route is less than
thirty miles long, and therefore, is
shorter than any other so far pro
posed. No engineering difficulties are
encountered, its supporters say, until
spur of the Andes mountains is
reached. This mountain chain must
be pierced by tunnel seven miles

enough for the largest ship which
would q through the canal. The
rock through which the tunnel would
be cut is said to be solid granite. In
the tunnel II trolley appliance would
tow the ship.
General Serrel, who is AZ the head
of the project, was engineer of the
Panama railroad and has acted as
o gineer for the government. The
late Il. p. Boutwell, who at one time,
was president of the Society of Mining
Engineers and editor Of the Mining
Journal, thought,the scheme entirely
feasible and was heartily in sympathy
with it at the time of his death.

HISTORIC HONESTY.
Treasury Package Containing
Thousands of Dollars.

"The most notable exhibition of
honesty within the history of the
treasury department." says a writer
in Ladies Home journal, was made
by Sophie Holmes, a colored woman
first employed 40 years ago by Gen.
Spinner-then treasurer of the United
States-as a temporary charwoman.
One afternoon in April. 1862, while
sweeping and scrubbing the floor of
the issue division she found package
full of crisp thousand dollar notes,
which some careless clerk had neglect
ed to return 10 the safe. She deter
mined to stand guard over the treas
ure and to confide her secret to no
one but Gen. Spinner himself, who
slept in the treasury building during
those troublesome war times. She
swept the dust of the room into one
pile, then another; scattered il about
and swept it up again and again, doing
thus to keep up the appearance of in
dustry and to make the atmosphere
of the room as uninvitinC $ possible to
the intruding guards, who now and
then sauntered in. From sheer weak
ness she finally fell asleep until past
midnight, when, imagining she dis
cerned figure moving in the room,
she CROPPED her way 10 the valua BILE
bundle, secreted i, between two desks
sat upon il. and while continuing her
vigil thus fell asleep again. About
four o'clock in The morning she was
awakened Ivy Gen. Spiuneg's footsteps.
Although she gave The treasurer a
great fright he rewarded her with a

the package was examined it was found
to contain. some say, $4,000; others,

A HOSPITAL FOR BIRDS.
New York Institution Where Feath-
cred Sufferers Are Treated for
All Kinds of Diseases.

In the Woman's Home Companion
Elizabeth Kinney has an article on
a "Hospital and Boarding-House for
Birds" She has the following about
the reception of birds in this unique
home:
They are brought to the hospital
with all kinds of diseases, for they
are afflicted almost the same as man.
They are treated for colds, sore
tbroats, asthma, consumption, dys-
pepsia, fevers, paralysis, constipa-
ton, diarrhea, and even corns, and
a lot of other things with names as
big as the small sufferers themselves.
They are variously treated, just as
human patients are, and oftentimes
the same remedies are applied to
them.
First of all each bird received into
the institution, whether it is sup
posed to be well or i'll, is carefully
examined, and his nails clipped when
found too long, which they frequent
ly are. Then if he is a well bird he
is taken to the boarding house,
while if he is sick he is placed in
the hospital, put on a diet and sub
iected to such treatment as may be
deemed most necessary for him.

POLLING TROUT AND STURGEON
SoveI Method of POachers i'm Catch
ing the Game Fish in East
ern streams,

Poachers in the Adirondacks and
ohter wild sections of New York are
taking trout by means of hook tied
to the end of a stick. The poacher lies
down upon a log or stump above some
deep pool in trout stream and brings
the stick close alongside the fish, work
ing il ever and ever so carefully lest the
fish should be frightened away When
the pole is only hairs breadth from
the side of the trout the fisher gives u
jerk. and, nine times out Of ten, hooks
the fish. The method is specially de-
structive to good sport, for the reason
that it enables the poacher to take the
wary old trout that are shy of the hook.
Closely allied is the method of stur-
geon catching which is practiced in the
Detroit river and some of the streams
running into Lake Superior, says the
New York Times. The sturgeon has a
way when it runs up a stream in spawn
ing season of rubbing against every hit
of wood that may be fixed in he water.
The fisherman goes out in "A boat or
takes his place at bridge with pole,
on the end of which are tied three
hooks pointing in three different direc-
tions from a common center. The end
of the pole he plants on the bottom of
| the stream while the other he holds in
his hand. When he feels the movement
of the sturgeon he jerks, The sturgeon
is hooked and grand fight begins.
