Mounting a Horse.

A careful bicycist learns to mount
from either side of the wheel. since the
emergency may arise at any moment,
says the London Chronicle. One would
think that the horseman would be
equally careful to provide for possibil-
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
yard the hostler would probably de-
mand the price Of a gallon as the
statutory fine, and the horse would col
lapse with surprise. What is the
meaning Of this convention? It ap-
pears in odd places. Not only does
the trick horse in the circus canter
from right to left, but the after dinner
wine passes the same way. 'eThe way
Of the sun" is the current explanation,
which is absurd.

When to Eat Fruit.

The question is often asked, At what
time of day should fruit be eaten? In
tropical countries, where fruit is the
chief article Of food, the rule appears
to be that the earlier in the day it is
taken the better and the later the
worse. In hot weather many wise
people will eat none after noon, alleg-
ing that the digestion then declines in
power with the decline of the day and
the fruit, instead Of digesting, decom-
poses owing to the presence Of the sac
charine matter. The objection to fruit
and certain kinds Of vegetables late in
the day, be the explanation what it
may, is certainly justified by an ample
experience, though some persons can
eat fruit at all hours without feeling
any inconvenience.-Table Talks.

TWO PREPARATIONS.

From Hays Eulogy ON Mckinley ana
Blaine's Eulogy ON Garfield.
It is a curious coincidence that on
Feb. 27, 1882, and on Feb. 27, 1902. a
secretary Of state of a murdered presi-
dent delivered eulogy Of his dead
chief before the houses of congress.
Mr.. Hay, primarily writer. showed
the essayist in his Grafton on McKin-
ley. Mr.. Blaine, primarily speaker,
showed the orator in his oration 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 fig
ure of Washington presided over it's be-
ginnings; no one, but VOWS it 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 1t. showed In his life
how citizen should live and in his last
hour taught us how gentleman could
dig. .-}.>5 s' I'M
Blaine's grafton on Garfield ended
with this famous passage: Fi
AS the end drew near his early craving
for the sea returned. The stately man
sion of power had been to him the Wearl-
some hospital Of pain, and he begged to
be taken from his prison walls, from its
oppressive. sitting air. from its, home-
lessness and it's hopelessness. Gently, 81
lently, the love of a 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 its manifold voices. With
wan fevered face, tenderly lifted to
the cooling breeze, he looked out wistful-
ly upon the oceans changing wonders, on
its far sails. on its restless waves rolling
shoreward to break and die beneath the
MONDAY sun: 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
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.

CUTTING HIMSELF OFF.
The Blunt way In Which Chaplain
Cannon Refused a Fortune.

The Blunt way In Which Chaplain
Cannon Refused a Fortune.
The Rev. Edward Cannon, a chap
lain to King George w., was dog.
gedly independent man. On one occa-
sion he refused to compliment his roy
al master on his singing and for
time fell into disfavor. His manner
was high handed and not always too
courteous, but his actions were always
on the side Of right and justice. The
biography of his friend Barham, the
author Of the "Ingoldsby Legends"
contains, among other anecdotes Of
Cannon, the story Of how he disinher-
ited himself.
A silly old lady summoned him to
her house and pretended to be declin-
ing in health. She told him she had
made her will, by which the whole of
a considerable fortune was to be left
to him. s2
=, IT don't believe it," said Cannon aft
er a pause, in which he eyed her
doubtfully. The lady assured him that
the document was lying in a desk in
the room. .."
II won't believe it," persisted Can
non, unless see it." -'-'33.-' ''-'
Smiling at his incredulity, she placed
the will in his hands. Cannon read it.
"Well," he said deliberately, ''if I
had not seen it in your own hands, I
could not have believed you were such
an unnatural hr.1,to -
Thrusting the paper between the bars
of the crate, he continued in severe,
low voice: "Have you no one more

THE PARADISE FISH.
One of the Wonderful Piscator1a1
Rarities Found In China.

One of the Wonderful Piscator1a1
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 wild state. In
the land Of the dragon they are kept
and cultivated in ornamental aquari-
ums, each succeeding generation Of the
little oddities exhibiting more diver
sifed 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 sunfish, its
color surprising in brilliancy any fish
heretofore cultivated for the aquarium.
The head Of macropodus chats his
generic name) is ashy gray, mottled
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 fms are remarka-
bly, large, hence its 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 fms are
protected by a brilliant scarlet colored
spine, extending three-fourths Of an
inch behind the body OF the fin. The
pectoral fins are well shaped, but trans
parent and colorless.

ELECTRIFIED HOUSES.
The Simple Explanation of q Vel
Ordinary Phenomenon E

The Simple Explanation Of q Very
Ordinary Phenomenon.
An instance Of nonfamiliarity with
simple scientific facts is illustrated by
an article that goes the rounds Of the
press once or twice annually-namely,
the story of the electrified house. The
article usually states that some one
has discovered that everything he
touches In his house - the radiators,
picture frames. banquet lamps, etc.
gives him an electric shock; hence he
fears there is some connection between
the arc light wires and the water pipes
near his residence. The electric light
inspector is therefore summoned and
reports that the wires Of his company
are intact and that the electricity must
come from some other source. -.
It does not dawn on any Of the peo-
pie consulted that the discoverer Of
the phenomenon Is unconsciously per-
forming one of the simplest and oldest
of elecrostatic experiments, the shut
fling of his shoes over the dry carpet
raising the potential Of his body to

at every opportunity. One may even
get electric discharges from his knuc-
kles against the brass lock of hand
bag which he may be carrying while
walking on stone pavement during
cold, dry weather.
But, dismissing newspaper science,
it is somewhat astonishing, in view of
the many ways in which in cold, dry
countries electricity is unintentionally
developed and manifested by spark
ing. that the first knowledge concern
ing this phenomenon did not come to
the ancients in this way rather than
by the attraction Of light substances
by amber. The explanation Of this,
however, may be that the scientists of
bygone days did not reside in cold, dry
countries.-Cassier's Magazine.
