NEST BUILDING FISH.
Safe Asylum Afforded by Nature for

1t is doubtful whether protect.
I've mimicry among animals is bet.
ter exemplifed than in the case OF
the fish commonly known as the
narbled angler of the Sargasso
sea CPterophryne histrio). Owing
to its peculiar structure, it is a
poor swimmer, and it, therefore,
spends most of its life moving
slowly about the bottom, among
corals, seaweed, etc, which these
fishes closely resemble in color
and in outline, says the Scientific
American. They cling, too, to the
boating masses of sargassum
weed with their pediculated fms,
and the color markings of the
weed closely resemble the weed it.
self. Not only does this weed
thus furnish a home for this spe-
Hes, but the fish actually CON
structs a nest from it and therein
deposits its eggs.
One of these nests, found in con
nectiOn with the Hassler expedi.
ton in 1871, was described as con-
sisting of a round mass of sar-
gassum, about the size of two fists,
rolled up together. To all appear
ances it was made of nothing but
this gulf weed, the branches and
leaves of which were, however,
evidently knit together, and not
merely tangled into a rOundish
mass; for, though some of the
leaves and branches hung loose
from the nest, it became at once
visible that the bulk of the ball
was held together by threads
trending in every direction among
the seaweed.
BY close observation it became
apparent that this mass of sea-
weed was a nest, the central part
of which was bound up in the form
of a ball, with several loose
branches extending in various di.
r%ectiOns, by means of which the
whole was kept floating. On still
closer examination the nest above
described was found to be full
OF eggs, which were scattered
throughout the mass.
Nature has thus afforded a safe
asylum for these somewhat help.
less fishes, whose cutaneous fila
ments, which are plentifully pro
vided on the belly, around the
mouth and on the dorsal spine, so
nearly resemble the weed itself
that predaceous fishes doubtless
fail to recognize the living ami
mails, and thus the latter escape
determination.

3 MARcK TEE NAN.
Intina,e 6Iimpsss of ths Great North
German Stalssmsn.

FeFo Va ~a@ AA@-A AM ~
GsTmaa Statesman.
N! bssr glimpse OF Bismarck,
says Andrew ID. White, in Cen.
fury, WAS obtained during a jour
ney through middle Germany just
after the war between Prussia and
Austria. Arriving at the Kissin.
gen junction, we found a crowd
gathered outside the barriers, and
all gazing at a railway carriage
about to be attached to our train.
Looking toward this, l recognized
the face and form of the great
North-German statesman.
He was then in the prime Of
life-sturdy, hearty and happy in
the presence of his wife and chill
dren. The people of the station
evidently knew what was needed,
for hardly had he arrived when
walters appeared, bearing salyers
covered with huge mugs of foam
ing beer; thereupOn Bismarck
took two of the mugs and poured
their contents down his throat in
immediate succession, evidently
with great gustO. A burly peas
ant just back of me, unable longer
to restrain his admiration, solilO-
quized in IA deep, slow, cultural,
reverberating rumble; "A-a-aber
er silent seh-r-r-r gut aus" But
he looks very well.) So it struck
me also. The waters of Kissin-
gen had evidently restored the
great man, and he looked like 4
Titan ready for battle.
My personal intercourse with
him began II years later, when,
as chancellor of the German en-
pire, he received me as minister Of
the United States. On my enter
ing his workroOm, he rose, and it
seemed to me that / had never seen
another man so towering, save
Abraham Lincoln. Beside him
were his two big black dogs, the
I
Reischunde. and, as he put out his
hand with a pleasant smile, they
seemed to join kindly in the well
come. The conversation ran. for
a time, upon commonplace sub.
jects, but finally struck matters of
interest TO both our countries.
There were then, as ever since, a
great number of troublesome
questions between the two ma
tons, and among them those re-
lating to Germans who, having
gone over to the United States
just at the military age, had lived
there merely long enough to ac-
quire citizenship, and had then
FASTENED back to Germany to en-
joy the privileges of both coun.
tries without discharging the du-
ties of either. These persons had
done great harm to the interests
of bonafde German-Americans,
and Bismarck evidently had an in
tense dislike for them. This he
showed then and afterward; but
his tendencies to severity toward
them were tempered by the min
lister of foreign affairs, Baron Won
BulOw, one of the most reasonable
men in public business with whom
| have ever had to do, and father
of the present chancellor, who
greatly resembles him.

house Of correction. An unfortunate
fellow was recently taken before q
justice Of the peace in Milwaukee,
charged with stealing a quantity of
wood. There was not much Of a de-
Tense to offer, but an attorney who
knew him volunteered to say a few
words to the court in his behalf.
The attorney began his talk, and
warming up to his subject as he pro-
ceeded, finally succeeded in making
a good plea for leniency. The JUS
tice, Of course, found the prisoner
guilty, but let him off with a SEN
tence Of thirty days in the house Of
correction. When the commitment
had been made out 1t was discovered
that there was no constable present,
SO the lawyer said to the prisoner:
John, you know where the house
Of correction is, don't your

"Well, here's five cents and this pa

Schoolboy Wrangling g.

A writer in the Spectator says that
there is no reason why an argument
between schoolboys should ever come
to an end. For this is the usual
course:
yorkshire is the best county in Eng
land
mo, it's not. Lancashire is"
mo, it's not"
Yes, it isl
81 know it isn't"
81 know 1t Is"
This exchange Of assertion goes on
until, possibly as the beginning of an
other argument, it comes to an end
as abruptly as it started.
The most original dispute however,
took place when two little boys were
contradicting each other, and an older
lad tried to pour oil on the troubled
water by quoting: ut takes two to
make a quarrel and one to end It,"
"Ail right!' shouted combatant
"rn be the one!'
NO, yod sha'n'tw yelled the other.
Il will!'
Then a warm dispute followed, each
claiming the distinction Of being
peacemaker.

Ttiarpoint, Miss, Aug. 8.-One eof
the strangest cases ever reported oc-
CURED here recently. The son Of MT
q. L. Butler was very Ill. The doctor
9aid he had some disease of the spinal
cord, and treated him for two months,
but he grew worse all the time, and
finally the doctor told MT. Butler that
ne did not know what was the trouble.
The boy would wake up in the night
and say that he was dying. He would
be nervous and trembling and want to
run out Of the house, saying he saw
ugly things which frightened him.
His father was very much discourag-
ed till one day he saw a. new remedy
called Dodds Kidney Pills advertised,
and he at once bought some and began
to give them to his boy.
He used altogether eight boxes be-
fore he was entirely cured. He has
not been troubled since. Mr.. Butler
says:
II feel 1t my duty to tell what
Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for my
boy. All this remedy needs is a fair
chance and it will speak for ITSELF"

Bird Slaughter.

The total number Of packages OF
osprey feathers sold in London last
year was 1,6O8, and Of the birds of
paradise 1852. A package of osprey
feathers varies in amount from two
or three to oyer 100 ounces, but a
careful computation shows the aver
age to be about 80 ounces to the pack
age. This gives a total of 1920
ounces, and on the received estimate
that four birds are required to yield
one ounce Of plumes, we have total
of 192,960 birds killed il the breed,
ing season to furnish one years feath-
sales. Of the birds Of paradise 1892
were catalogued as females.

ONLY San1Dlinr 1t.

In the grocery division of big de
partment store a young woman was
making an exhibit Of a new prepara-
ton of wheat On the counter in
front Of her were little plates. These
she filled from time to time with
freshly cooked samples, which she
passed out free to customers who
wished to try them.
One man, a lean, dyspeptic-looking
person, had emptied his dish with evil
dent relish, and the young woman,
sure Of making a sale, addressed him
with her most engaging smile:
"Well," she said, chow do you like
our new breakfast food? It's only f1f-
teen cents a package"
''It is very good" he replied, set,
ting down the dish, "but l never eat

New Use for PAPER.

Paper gloves and stockings are now
being manufactured in Europe. AS
to the manner in which the former are
made little is known, but the stockings
have been carefully examined by ex-
'perts, and they are loud in their praise
Of them. Let no one assume, they say,
that these stockings, because they are
made Of paper, will only last few
days, for they will really last almost
as long as ordinary stockings. The
reason. they point out is because the
paper Of which they are made was
during the process Of manufacture
transferred into a substance closely
resembling wool, and was then woven
and otherwise treated as ordinary
wool

How to Get Good Roads.

One great reason for the prevalence
Of bad roads throughout the United
States is lack Of agreement and united
action among the advocates Of I'M
provement. Everybody prefers good
roads to bad. Everybody knows that
the roads can be improved only by the
expenditure of money and labor. But
here the agreement ends. There is
great variety of ideas and schemes for
securing the desired object. There is
20 end Of discussion, but very little Is
accomplished. Some people would
rather travel through mud than to have
the roads improved by any other plan
than their own pet scheme" Thus
road reformers themselves sometimes
actually hinder the cause to which
they are devoted
If the roads Of the country are to be
made good within the lifetime Of the
present generation, It Is high time the
advocates Of good roads should unite
In support of few general PROPOSE
tons, and go to work in favor Of
general PLAN If National good roads
movement ever gets started, nothing
can stop it. It will sweep everything
before it. But the difficulty is to get it
started.
One great advantage possessed by
the National aid plan, which Is now be-
coming SO popular, is that 1t is general
instead Of sectional or local. It Is as
broad as the whole country. 1t can
bring into harmonious united action the
friends of good roads in every State,
and it Is the only plan yet proposed
that can do this.
The friends Of National aid will
make mistake If they undertake to
work out details in advance. They
will disagree among themselves and
give objections every >dvantage. They
should go to work for the general prin-
ciple and leave details to be worked
out later. This was the plan Of action
adopted by Gladstone. When his OPP
ponents asked for details Of any great
reform which he advocated, Gladstone
would anwser; "There will be time
enough to work out the details when
we get the power" The advocates Of
National aid will do well to emulate
the example of this great English
statesman. They should organize
everywhere and fight for the principle
leaving details to be worked out in due
time

fully 900 tons Of paper are used for
this purpose alone. Orders for 1OO,-
