TWO ODD FISHES. asp
The Chnngeable Pink Hind md the
Rainbow Hued Parrot Fish.

The ChnngeabIe Pink Hind and the
Rainbow Hued Parrot Fish.
The clear, limpid waters that sur
round Bermuda and the West Indies
lie above coral reefs covered with
plants and animals, many of which are
brilliant in color as a rainbow. They
look like glimpses of fairyland, and as
your eye wanders from one wonder to
another you catch yourself striving to
peek just around some corner into a
strange nook, half hoping to see n
bevy of mermen and mermails sport
ing and playing within,-the crannies.
Here is patch of pale green sea let
tuce, there group Of great purple
sea fans, yonder some golden corals
standing out like a shelf or branching
like a tree, while among them all
swim lovely fishes that take the place
of the fairies that should dwell in this
magic land and fascinate you by their
gorgeous colors and their graceful,
wavy motions,
There is great green "parrot fish,"

swimming along slowly. secure from
any assault. His scales are green as
the fresh grass of springtime, and each
one is bordered by pale blown line.
His fins are pink, and the end of the
tail is banded with nearly every color
of the rainbow. He is snowy, but this
showiness serves him good purpose.
His flesh is bitter and poisonous to
man and probably so to other fishes as
well, and they let him well alone, for
they can recognize him afar off, thanks
to his gaudy dress.
Underneath the parrot, lying on the
bottom, is a 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 look
ing for his dinner and thought the hind
would make good first course this
sudden change of color might have
scared him off, just as the sudden bris-
ting of cat makes a dog change his
mind. When the hind is disturbed at
night, he gives out flashes of light to
startle the intruder and send him away
in fright.-Professor G. L. Bristol in

"At the time of-the civil war;" said
an old merchant Potter Palmer was

and Levi 2. Letter and Marshall Field
were working for him. Palmer wasn't
so well known, bat he had a good rep
utation in the trade, and he didn't have
to introduce himself when he called on
old A. T. Stewart to buy some goods
After some dickering they agreed upon
the price, and Palmer calmly said that
he would take about 100000 worth.
1t wasra little larger bill than Stewart
exactly cared to sell young Palmer on
credit, but he concluded to make the
deal and told him to come in the next
morning and arrange some final de-
tails. That night some big war news
came, and it didn't require any decla-
ration by the government to inform ev-
cry dry goods man in the country that
the price of goods would take a big
spurt up. Stewart recognized it as soon
as he had the news, and he Immediate
ly thought of Palmer. He also thought
of the big bill of goods Palmer had

But it required only few scratches
of his red head to fix things to his sat
isfaction. He would simply tell Pal
mer that he was sorry, but that he
didn't feel that he could sell such a
big bill on credit, and as he knew that
Palmer couldn't raise the cash imme-
diately, why, that would end it, and
the sale would be off. Well, young
Palmer called early, and Stewart

but really he didn't think it wise busi-
ness to extend credit for such an
amount.
"'Just how much does the bill come
to?' said young Palmer, seemingly sor-
rowful-like.
"'Just $110,000,' Stewart replied, and
then he straightway gulped for breath
as young Palmer drew an immense
pocketbook from his inside vest pocket
and, opening it, counted out 10 thou
sand dollar bills and. laying them quiet,
ly on Stewards desk, said: If you will
kindly count them and give me a re-
