THE CARDIFF GIANT AGAIN.
Another Attempt to Make Money by
Exhibiting the Famous Old Fraud.
New York Sun.O

Coincident with the success of popular
book in which the story of the mammoth
fake, the Cardiff Giant. is told with what
purports to be accuracy for the first time,
there comes the announcement in dis
patch from Albany that company of
Buffalo men has been incorporated with
a capital of $4,000 to exhibit the object
which fooled so many thousands of peo-
pie on both sides of the Atlantic ocean
back in the COS.
+ For years past the big, ungainly stone
image that was planted and dug up at
Cardiff has been reposing unsought I'M
cared for and unsung up in Onondaga
county. When it was brought out for
exhibition a few years ago there was but
languid interest in it up There and it was
laid away again. Now once more it is to
be put aboard the wagon to travel back
toward the West whence it originally
came to the tune Of Put me off at Buff
falo."

DEATH OF A LADYFlSH.
May Have Been Just an Accident, but
It Looked Like Suicide.
New York SUM-

New York SUM-
The ladyfiSh, despite its name, is
fighter; and with its strong, sharp, pro-
truding teeth, it is able to make it's at
lacks effective. There is at the Aqua
rum a ladyfish IA or Is inches long that
was brought up from Bermuda last
summer, and has since been on exhibit
ton here. in one of the gallery tanks on
the salt water side. Received in sub
squent shipment was another 1adyfish
of about three-quarters the first ones
size, which on receipt was placed in
the same tank.
The newcomer remained on exhibit
ton about 10 minutes only. The mo-
ment it was put into the tank the big
one, though of it's own kind, attacked
it ferociously, and, with it's sharp teeth,
bit scales out of the smaller ones sides.
In a very few minutes it had bitten off
scales to the number of 10 or a dozen,
and it showed no indication of letting
up and to save the smaller fiSh's life
there was nothing to do but to remove
it, leaving the big ladyfish lord-or lady
of the tank.
The SCARED smaller fish was put into
a reserve tank for its wounds to heal,
and they did heal all right, though
there were only scars, now, where
scales had been before, for Nature does
not reproduce lost scales. But the fish
got well of it's hurts and thrived in the
reserve tank, finely, until last Friday.
1t had never been brought to the
front after that eventful 10 minutes
experience there, when it first came
from the South. 1t couldn't be put in
with other fishes, and of course they
couldn't spare a separate tank for it.
Therefore there was nothing for this
ladyfish to do but TIC go to the rear;
and that's where it stayed until last
Friday when it jumped out of its tank
and fell some distance to cement floor
that runs along under this row of
tanks, and killed itself.
1t looked like clear case of suicide,
though of course it may be that it sim
ply jumped up and over the side of the
tank without knowing where it was
jumping. But anyhow it jumped to
death, while the ladyfish that drove it
into exile still swims haughtily about
in that gallery tier exhibition tank.

WALLS IN SILkEN TAPESTRY.
A New Fad in Decoration Among PEG
pie Who Don't Mind Expense.
New York Sun.)

Tapestry of silk or imitation silk is
the very latest wrinkle for wall cover
ing in very swell apartments. This ex-
pensive fad has been reached in easy
stages from modest wall paper.
First wall paper was designed to imi-
tate as nearly as possible the effects in
some of the old tapestries; then fancy
burlap and linen made to look like
tapestry replaced the paper; now silk
or one of the many limitations for it is
used for the wall drapery.
1t is not likely to be generally used,
for the fad is too costly for most peo-
pie, but among those who can afford
the luxury of redecorating their
apartments annually without regard to
cost the fancy for tapestried walls is
general and is being widely gratified.

4 Love Story.

Agana, Island of Guam, April
2, 1902.--REPUBLIcAN.- There
is kind of exacting in most
sciences that may be necessary
in the cold abstraction of mere
physical things, but which has
a tendancy to eliminate the pur-
est and noblcst part of human
history.
There IS no true account of
man that does not include the
struggles, love and faith of in
dividuals: for it is in the deeds of
a very few that the whole life
of people is revealed. Those
who write the dispassionate
history OF people in times of re-
pose and sober feeling, usually
omit the most essentia! part.
Much that has fallen under the
ban Of myth was the vital e1e-
ment Of a peoples history.
I here have come times to every
nation when It's struggles assun-
ed personal heroism and sacri-
hce that later years have dis
credited. This so called dis
passionate history is usually the
least reliable of all, so far as it
represents real life.
The Island OF Guam has some
history worthy to be preserved
from Spanish rubbish, and that
challenges the. best talent ia song
and story. The truthfullness of
Some OF these early deeds lies in
III the fact that they are distinct
from selfish interest and verified
by those whose cruelty enforced
them. Many years ago there
lived on the north eastern spur
Of this Island people distinct
