HOT-WATER FISH.
Curious Species Found In the Boiling
Lake of AmHtitlan In Guatemala
Other Instances.

M. Marcellin Pellet. French writer,
who has recently returned from Guate-
mala, describes a curious species OF
fish, the Pacilia dorri, which he found in
the boiling lake of Amatitlan. 1t pass
es its days literally I'm continual hot
water" So hot 10 the water of this lake
that 1t is said to thrust ones hand In
it means scalded fingers. Ebullition Is,
however, somewhat tempered, says the
New York Herald. as the really boiling
water rises to the surface, leaving q
temperature Of IS degrees centigrade at
the level, where the fish are found. which
is even then sufficiently warm for cold
blooded creatures like fish.
Frank auckland states In one OF his
works that the naturalist Brossonnet
found by experiments that some fresh
water fish would live several days in
water so hot that a human being could
not keep his hand in It for minute.
DR.. Saussure, the Swiss scientist, dis
covered living cells In the hot springs OF
AK, the temperature OF which averages
ll3 degrees Fahrenheit. Humboldt also
saw living fish thrown up in volcano
in South America.

DEAF-MUTES NEVER GIDDY.
Vertigo Seems to BE One OF the Ills

1t is singular fact, vouched for by

any way from vertigo. Il have seen

Thriving Business Introduce

The automobile craze has opened q
new field for the impecunious woman in
high society, and many are making much
money acting as agents for the various
makes Of machines, says London re-
port. A certain woman Of title is known
to have sold, within six months, five high
power cars and IA smaller ones, and
made in commissions about Sl5,ooO.
There was no trouble in making the
transactions, for all she had to 90 was
to tell her wealthy friends that her car
was the best on the market, and give her
card to the intending purchaser, to be
presented to the maker.
To help his titled agent, the manufac-
turer places car, sometimes two, at her
disposal, usually at her country house,
sends down competent chauffeuTs IN
smart uniforms, and keeps the cars in
thorough going order, knowing well that
a good run is more likely to influence
a prospective purchaser than most
things.
She manages to get some wealthy
friends for a visit, and then talks mo-
tor from morning to night, and gives
them rides until they are fit subjects for
buying.
Some of the smart women make add
tional profits by selling the cars placed
at their disposal on the spot for $500

machines SO sold, at their leisure, at the
regular price, less the commission.

cHRTsTMAs IN AUGUST,

"If not the most enjoyable, then by far the most amusing Christmas in my experience occurred in 1900-not on De- cember 25, however, but the 25th of Au- gust" said MT. Louis A. Dent, register of wills for the District of Columbia.
 ''In my family 1t is an unvarying cus- tom to celebrate Christmas rather ela- borately in order to afford the children as much pleasure as possible We en- deavor to make the observance of the occasion thoroughly complete, even go- ing so far as to carry out the illusion of Santa Claus riding over our house a day ahead of Christmas. with horns blowing. and dropping a tree in the back yard.
 We were spending the summer Of 1900 in the heart of Virginia. Our par ty numbered about thirty persons. To- ward the end of August the situation began to grow rather dull for by that time we had exhausted all the pastimes within our reach. While every one was trying to originate something that might tend to relieve the monotony Mrs Dent conceived the idea of holding full-f1edged Christmas celebration, with a decorated tree and all the other accompaniments.
 "The entire party entered into the spirit of the affair with enthusiasm.
The daily morning journal and courier., 1903-01-02

In the yard of the house where we were located is a grove of fir trees and one of them was selected as being particu- larly well adapted for our purposes. The country stores were literally emp tied Of the curious or grotesque and un- usual articles they had for sale.
 Each member of the party pur- chased or provided something for every other member, but the character of the presents was carefully kept secret. The gifts were put into the form Of wrapped packages, with the names of the persons for whom they were intend- cd inscribed thereon. Several of us spent the greater part of a day in dressing the fir tree. As soon as dark ness put in an appearance the lawn was lighted by Chinese lanterns and other decorations were used to add to the picturesqueness of the scene.
 Tt was, indeed, a happy, rollicking throng that gathered about that grow ing Christmas tree in the open air to watch one of the men of the party, dis guised as Santa Claus, climb about from limb to limb and distribute Christmas presents on a hot night in August. Each donor of a gift had pro- vided something that caused laughter at the expense of the recipient. For in- stance, I had been constantly complain ing of flies. One of the presents for me handed down by Santa Claus was bottle we'll filled with the bothersome insects. The others fared the same way, their presents, of course. having to do with their respective hobbies.
 "As soon as present was bestowed the recipient was compelled to open the package in full view of the entire as- semblage, much to the amusement of all. After the tree had been stripped refreshments were served. Our Christi mas celebration in midsummer was enjoyed by the grown folk as much as by the children and was certainly the event of the season in that section of Virginia. ."-Washington Evening Star.

CURE OF DRrNKENNEss.

An address on intemperanee in women, recently is interesting on account of it's practical suggestiyeness. In dealing with the original forma ton of this habit but little importance is attached to the influence of mere here dity, though it is not denied that this factor does in some families appear to play its part The practice of drinking, which eliminates in drunkenness, is regarded and treated from first to last as a habit rather than as disease, and one which has been developed out of acts of self-indulgence.
 In the indictment of the individual and of society, where custom and example have much to answer for, there is no want of sympathy. On the con trary, every allowance Is made for mis- understanding, temptation and human frailty. At the same time, the element Of moral responsibility is never lost sight of. It is in the recognition of this quality that we find the clue to success full treatment. Sir Thomas Barlow is no pessimist. He firmly believes in the possibility of reclamation, and he relies for the attainment of this object large Iy upon an awakening of the moral sense.
 lntemperance is not a mere disease; it is not even an uncomfortable habit. It is g. moral wrong to be admitted, re- pented of and combated by every avail able means if the poor victim is ever to obtain her emancipation. It is not to be expected that she can, at all events as a rule, be depended upon to work out her own salvation on these lines. She has, nevertheless, ito a certain limited extent power in her own hands" and it is necessary to make her see this. Moreover, the assistance of friends, and especially an example of abstinence on their part, can do very much to help her.
 There must be few persons, and prob ably no medical men, who do not in their hearts admit the truth of these observations. We believe that the alcoholic habit is in no sense different in character from any other form of use and wont, such as is constantly seen to influence the course of human conduct. It is infinitely more injurious than the great majority of such person. al customs. It is as curable as they are, and mainly by those moral, in tellectual and social means which have been considered ab0ve.-Lancet,

riot together, are odorous depths of verdure and glowing color. Improve ments have been made in thte city, but So as not to detract from it's air of beauty and repose. Situated near the two principal cities of the state, Will liamsburg keeps in close touch with the progressive affairs of the outside world and has an exclusive society of its own. The pride of ancestry is a birthright to those who constitute 1t; yet between them and the humblest exist the kind Hest relations, and the poor are helped in an unostentatious, Christian way that robs charity of humiliation. It is. indeed, an ideal town. It is the place for the student to mediate, the poet to dream and the business man to forget the cares of a vexatious world.-Rich- mOnd Dispatch.
