WHERE THE COD WINTERS.
They and Haddock Found at Gret

They and Haddock Found at Great
Depths in Sea.
Dr. Hart has made the remarkable
discovery that away out In the open
sea, where it was several thousands of
meters in depth, he found fish as 1t
were in layers or ocean strata Some re-
qulred line as long as a monument to
reach down to them; others were In
still lower depths which would sub
merge st. Paul's and the monument on
top, and with many thousand feet of
water below them.
There In these still and dark and
hitherto supposed barren regions Of the
sea he caught great cod and haddock,
sometimes in quantities. The import
ance of this discovery is that 1t proves
that not only fish brood, but mature
fish also, exist in the ocean, and that
what have been looked upon as typical
ground fish" and local sorts are to
be found at other places as well as
near the coasts.
Not of the least significance is the
finding Of cod in the deep places of
the sea, says the Nineteenth Century,
as in this discovery we have the key
to solve the mystery as to where the
cod abides when he withdraws from
the coasts. In the great cod fisheries
off the coast of Newfoundland the fish
ermen find the fish at the commence
ment Of the season in April in the
shallow water near the shore and use
their lines of thirty or forty feet, in
creasing the depth as they find the
fish receding, until they have to fish
at over 200 feet for them in Decem-

Moths always work in the dark. Furs

traction for them; and a soiled gar

attract them; hence every garment
should be clean when it is put away
for the summer. Furs and all woolen
clothing that are not needed during the
summer should be hung out in the open
air and gently beaten and well brushed
and then wrapped in newspapers with
plenty Of camphOr gum. Newspapers

woman ought to be true helpmeet to
her husband. She should be able to
lift in a thousand ways the burdens
which daily bear him to the earth, and
none Of these things could she do unless
he is willing to assist her with his con-
fidence as well as to give her his affec-
ton.
1t perhaps may not be a nice thing to
say, and | dislike to make the statement.
but II is fact that while it is right and
just that a man should unburden him
self and seek the counsel Of his wife, the
minute woman occupies her evenings in
recounting and bewailing the manifold
and trivial yexations which have occur
red in the domestic regime during the
day, the result Is absolutely and inevita-
bly, fatal to the happiness Of the home.
The home is distinctly the woman's
province, and she should rule in it as does
a general his forces or man his Office.
But never as she desires to keep her
husbands love and affection, should she
be tempted, as some women have been to
their everlasting modification and sor-
row, to lay her domestic worries at her
husbands feet.
Again | say that, apart from those
things a man should keep sacred, there
Is no true marriage unless a man con-
ides in a woman and lets her help him
to bear the trials and tribulations which
crowd a business mans life.
Such union only is ideal when the
husband and wife share the mutual re-
sponsibilities; and only in this complete
relationship can the latter attain the
grandeur Of the true woman.

THE cAPIToL's FLAGS.
Regulated by Strict Rules When Flying at
fiall.Mast

The flying of flags over the capitol at
half-mast, says the Washington Star,
is regulated by the strictest rules.
Whenever these flags are seen floating
half way down the mast it is sure in
dication that vice president, senator
or representative is lying dead, or that
the action Is taken in response to a
presidential proclamation ordering the
flags on public buildings at half-mast
in respect to the memory of some prom
inent official of the government who
has passed away. When the sergeant
alarms OF the senate or house of rep
resentatives learns of the death of .
member of either of those bodies they
at once order that the flags over the
senate chamber or hall of representa-
tives be half-masted. This is often
done before the houses of congress
themselves are officially notified of the
death. A good deal of discretion is
exercised in the manner of placing the
news of death of this kind officially
before the senate or the house. Upon
such announcement it is customary for
the houses to adjourn in respect to the
deceased senator or representative, and
in order that current business may not
be stopped early in the day the an
nouncement is generally made just be-
fore the houses are ready to conclude
their days work. Officers of the sem
ate and house, when they fly the Gags
at half-mast in response to proclams-
tion by the president, regard their ac-
tion as one of courtesy, as they do not
recognize the power Of the president to
order congvess to do anything except to
assemble in extraordinary session.

answer all these prayers-except In the
reflex power for good which all prayer
has upon honest petitioners to the throne
of heaven. The real object and benefit
of prayer Is not to change the mind Of
God toward the world. so much as to
change the mind Of the world toward
God. "The fervent, effectual prayer Of
the righteous man availeth much" but
the righteous man must be careful lest
he offer a selfish prayer for his side to
win. Perhaps his side may not be alto
gether Gods side.
The only legitimate prayer In politics
Is this: Thy will be DONE" or, MAY
heaven bless the nation and guide those
who are in authority" TO pray for the
election Of one prominent candidate and
the defeat Of another, both of whom are
confessedly upright men, is piece Of
mpertlnenee repugnant to fine Christian
sensibllity. There is just about as much
sense in some suggestions of prayer in
politics" as there was in Prof. Tyndalps
materialistic prayer test some years ago
viz: Let there be two sick wards in a
hospital, and let prayer be offered for
one ward, while the other ward is omit
ted at the hour of devotions. Would it
make any difference in the recovery OF
the patients in either ward? All such
tests are but perversions Of prayer from
its high purpose.
1t has been said often: Vote as you
pray" Why not reverse the prayer:
Pray as you vote" In other words
both pray and vote your best convic-
tions. have always prayed in the
spirit of the Lords prayer: "Thy king
dom come" | would not be understood
as advocating an agnostic position upon
prayer and politics. Napoleon believed
God favored the strongest battalons and
heaviest artillery in war, yet who will
not say that the Boer patriots have not
been inspired to persevering heroism by
their deep righteousness. Who will say
that prayer did not help such men as
Gen. Lee and "Stonewall" jackson de-
fend the ''lost cause" with a mistaken
but heroic zeal?
To be sure, political contests are def
nitely decided by votes and not by pray
er. Yet when men have faith enough and
zeal enough to pray for cause they will
the more earnestly work for its triumph
ant issue.

Attempted Introduction of the Game
Produces an Official Panic.
1t is difficult, indeed, to be a sports
man In Turkey. One Rechad Bey tried
1t, with consequences weird enough, as
the London Telegraph relates them, for
the basis of a detective story or a
comic opera.
The young Turk organized a foot
ball team among his friends, together
with some Greeks and Armenlans, and
began practicing. Not very long after,
in the middle of the night, police came
to his house and carried him off to
Scutari; there he was submitted to \
long Interrogation as to the club and
the game Of football Matters only
grew more complicated, as the Turkish
word for ball is top, the same as for
cannon.
The authorities were convinced that
they had found great plot, and that
the club must be a secret society. A
special messenger was sent for the
ball, and that was duly examined, and
founL to be an internal machine. The
rules of the game were considered to
be another piece of damning evidence,
and still worse were the sweaters and
colors of the club, which showed n
complete organization even to a uni
form.
After long deliberation the culprit
was sent to the higher police authorl-
ties in Stamboul, who went through a
second long examination, and came to
the conclusion that the empire had
been saved from disintegration by the
early discovery Of great plot They
dispatched the whole matter to be in
qulred into at Yildz. So the young
man, the football, the rules and the
sweaters and kickers were all solemn
ly taken to the palace, and a special
commission took the matter in hand.
After much careful thought and ex-
animation of the evidence, 1t was de-
cided that there might be nothing In 1t,
but it must not be done again. Ac-
cordingly, the young man was appoint
ed vice consul at Teheran, and bundled

wide range OF subjects. Francis Rich
ard Stockton was born in Philadelphia
sixty eight years ago and early started
on a journalistic career. He gave up
reportorial work shortly and began to
write stories for the magazines. He
met with success as a writer Of fantas-
tic tales for children, but it was not
until 1879 when he wrote "Rudder
Grange" that he jumped into a promi-
nent place in literature. In 1884 his
most popular story, "The Lady or the
Tiger" appeared and was well receiv-
ed by the whole civilized world. Prob
ably no book Of late years has caused
so much comment as this aggravating
enigma. For a long time the author
was pestered with inquiries as to the
true answer to the question with
which the story ended.

he responded to one of these inquisl-

1t was told that an enterprisiHg mag
azlne offered him $4,000 for a brief
sketch by way of sequel that would re-
veal the true end to the famous tale
but Stockton was true to his story and
declined the offer.
Mr.. Stockton usually dictated his
books to his wife, who acted as his
amanuensls, and the flow of his words
was rapid. The last chapters of a
book he frequently dictated first, after
he had mapped out the tale in his
mind. He lived for many years in
New York and Washington. He also
spent considerable time In Florida and
the Vlrginias.
The picture Of Mr.. Stockton repro
duced above was taken several years
ago, but represents him as he is best
known to the reading public.
