The Fish of Bermuda.

l. rom ST. Nicholas.
There is great green parrot fish, OF
Bermuda, as brilliant I'm color as his name
sake, the bird, showing himself boldly. and
swimming along slowly, secure from auv
assault. His scales are green as the fresh
grass of springtime. and each one Is bor-
lered by pale brown line. His fins are
pink. and the end of the tai is banded with
nearly every color of the rainbow He is
SNOWY, but this shOwiness serves him a
good purpose. HIS flesh Is bitter and poi
Sonous to man, and probably so to other
fishes well, and they let him well alone
for they can recognise him afar off, thanks
to his gaudy dress. Underneath the parrot
lying on the bottom, is pink hind" You
notice him, and as the parrot passes over
him he suddenly changes to bright scarlet
and as quickly resumes his former faint
color Had the parrot been looking for his
dinner and thought the hind would make a
good first course, this sudden change of
color might have scared him of, just as
the sudden brstiing of a cat makes a dog
change his mind. When the hind Is dis
turbed at night he gives out flashes of light
to startle the intruder, and sends him away
in fright.

WEAPONS OF THE CHINESE.
How Their Arms Were Evolved
Method of Designating Rank.

From the New York Evening Post.
The prominent part played by China in
the worlds affairs during the past seven
years has aroused the interest of collectors
who have brought to this country many
specimens of wares and goods peculiar to
that part of the far east. None among
these are Of greater historical value than
the weapons which are in use in all prov
inces of the empire, even in the districts
where the imperial armies are equipped
with European firearms. One Of the best
collections was shown in this city not long
ago, and is now in the possession of the
commercial museum at Philadelphia. Sim
gle specimens of value are to be found in
the Chinese club rooms in Chinatown, and
in many of the bric-a-brac stores scattered
about the city.
A careful study Of the weapons shows
that most of them are naught but indus
trial appliances suddenly employed for pur-
poses Of offense. One spear is ptchfork
and another a trident similar to the eel
spear employed by our own fishermen
Another CHASTITY weapon when examined
carefully proves to be a Scythe blade fas-
tened to the end of strong pole. The hal
herds are hatchets. ak heads, AIDES and
cleavers wired or tied with thongs to stout
slaves. Even the spears and Iances show
an agricultural CT domestic rather than a
military origin.
These weapons may be viewed as his
torical souvenirs which are preserved as
testimonials of the bravery of the Manchu
conquerors. The Tartars take great pride
in their conquest of the middle kingdom
Before they came from the north they were
savages in comparison with the civilized
Chinese. They preserve this fact in their
laws and customs. The cuff Of everv orr
calls coat is made in the form Of a horses
hoof to indicate that the Manchurian armies
were cavalry, not infantry. The Official
footwear is a cavalry boot, which Though
made of satin with kid-covered soles. Is in
cut and general appearance the same as tho
heavy leather articles worn by their an
cestral troopers 800 years ago. When they
conquered China they experienced tho
strongest resistance from the farmers and
fishermen, who armed themselves with
whatever came to hand and attacked tho
invaders with fierce intrepidity
In honor of these victories they retained
the primitive weapons of their captiyes and
used them as trophies of their battles Each
Manchh officer employed a lot of Chinese
captives and armed them with their own
spears tridents and axes as the case might
be. The practice has been kept up ever
since. When a Mandarin goes calling he
has one or more guards in his retinue who
are armed with these simple contrivances.
So far has the idea been pushed that in
nearly all the temples there are weapons
which belong to the god of the temple and
these are usually of the same agricultural
character as those employed by the guards
of civil and military officials.

Growing Tolerance of Creeds.

ton in London. Their names afforded no
slight difficulty to the thoroughly English
footman, who announced the guests by

The footman duly announced him as Count

Sugar Planters Suggestion.

For their immediate purposes the planters
want the state to guarantee a loan on the
sugar crop. This, they calculate, could be
done if the total did not exceed $4,000, 900,
or approximately 10 cents for each arroba
of sugar produced by the different estates.
An arroba is twenty-five pounds. To salts
fy the loan they suggest a direct impost, or
whatever other means the government
might esteem most convenient, upon the
sugar Industry.
These are only suggestions from the
planters themselves, and it is not to be I'M
derstood that they have received popular
Endorsement. They may appear grotesQue,
yet they are no more grotesque than some
of the propositions advanced in the Con-
gress of the United States that a direct
bounty should be paid to the Cuban sugar
planter, instead of granting a concession in
the tariff. All these plans are artificial and
unhealthy. They would not help the sugar
industry of Cuba, nor would they increase
the islands commerce with the United
States.
Economic questions are coming to the
fore so rapidly that already they obscure
sentiment. THE real life of Cuba" says
one writer has begun and it Is that of
work" With labor and public order Cuba
is exhorted to develop it's great natural
richness, so that it may figure among the
nations of the world as first-class power
not because of its armament, but because
of It's natural resources. But to develop
these resources the island must have a
market. CHARLES NJ. PEPPER.
