TAME FISH IN A RIVER.
4 Travellers story OF what He Saw
In Upper burma.

In upper burma
When in camp the other day was
riding through a village when the VII
lage headman asked me II 1 would like
TO see the fish, /, not knowing what
the headman meant, at once went with
him down 10 the banks OF the stream.
followed by Several villagers with
baskets OF sessanum and paddy mixed
together. Then the thuggi called Lay,
lay, lay. lay" for few moments.
when, 10 and behold. a large herd Of
ngatwe, or big short fattish fish.
came up Just under our feet and were
promptly fed by the Burmans.
The fish were amazingly tame and
tolerated being stroked and petted
even by me. There were In all about
thirty-three Of them, varying in size
from eighteen inches to three and a
half feet long, the larger ones having
a girth at the gills OF about thirty inch
es. They would go away and come
back whenever they were called.
The villagers told me-and see nc
reason TO doubt what they say-that
these same fish come up against the
monsoon flood at the end Of June and
go away about October every year.
They can recognize individual fish by
marks, scars, etc, which they pointed
out to me.
The Mon is nearly dry IN the cold
and end Of the hot weather and the
fact that these fish return to this one
village landing stage every year reg.
ularly and never go TO any other Is
quite worthy Of remark A yillager
who kills any OF them has to undergo
penalty Of 10 shlllngs by common
consent, ana great care is In conse.
quence taken Of them.
The ngatwe Of upper Burma Is n
very short, thick fish, taperlng rapidly
from behind the gllls TO the tail. has
long feelers on both upper and lower
lip and has no noticeable teeth. He
makes very good eating and has but
few bones. have often heard Of tame
fish in tanks, but herd OF tame fish

The whole fabric of social inter-
course is interwoven with what would
be lies according to a strict code. Some
are pleasant fictions that deceive no
body. Most Of them have their genesis
in a kindly, cheerful desire to avoid
giving pain. These polite unruths are
the lubricant Of society. They wear
away the rough edges, take away the
sting out of uncomfortable facts. They
are the flower OF courtesy, 'the pine
apple perfume OF politeness. Wash

The dramatic version Of General
Lew Wallace.s widely read novel. ben
Hur. is the important announcement
for the Chestnut Street Opera House.
Philadelphia, for a limited engage
.ment, beginning Monday January 13.
Klaw & Erlanger have made the pro-
.duction the most beautiful aud elabo-
rate spectacle ever exhibited on the
stage In any part of the world. Il has
been found necessary to reconstruct
the stage OF the Chestnut Street Opera
House In order to accommodate the
vast scenic outfit The tansference of
Ben Hur' to the stage has been made
with all due respect for the religious
interest of the book The greatest fea-
ture Is the chariot race. Eight horses
run at top speed in full view of the
audience. Thousands of people appear
to look down upon the contesting
charioteers. One sees them at the turn
and witnesses the skill OF Ben Hur as
he cleverly smashes the wheel of Mes
sala's chariot. and wins the race Just
as the Roman pmnges headlong be-
meath the hoofs Of his excited horses.

The most popular flower for Decora-
ton day Is the geranium. The popu-
larity of this plant Is due to the fact
that besides being beautiful flower.
it is the hardest plant that is sold by
local florists. 1t will stand longer
siege of dry weather and more cold
than any of the other plants. There
will be great scarcity of geraniums
this season. said florist, Wednes-
day "The demand is greater and
there were not as many raised as us
ual."
Cut flowers are used widely in decor
ations and supply to a large degree the
dearth of potted plants. They are not
nearly as popular however as the lat
ter. Madame Salleroi is popular for
edging and forms pretty decoration
for gernniums. There is the usual de.
mand for baskets, bouquets and
wreaths.
Are carnations in demand?" was
asked of a florist.
Yes. There will be the usual mum.
ber this year" answered the florist.
carnations are popular at all times.
The beauty OF the carnation is that
1t is the flower of the people. 1t is
worn by the rich as well as the poor
thing that cannot be said of all
flowers. The carnation knows neither
rich nor poor
