FROM the elections which have
already taken place in Oregon, Ar
kansas, Vermont and Maine the
Democratic campaign managers
find but little consolation. It is
very evident that not only the far
mers of the country but the labor
ing classes as we'll, are going to
vote pretty solidly for Roosevelt
and Fairbanks. These men are
considering their bank accounts
and their earnings, which they pre-
fer to have continued on the pres

chances of returning to the condi-
tions which prevailed from 1894 to
1900,

The late Lord Salisbury shared with
Mr.. Gladstone a disregard for clothes
and several times his attire was re-
ferred to with regret by sartorial writ
ers. So long as his coat hung fairly
well from the shoulders the deceased
premier cared little, but he never went
the length of Mr. Gladstone, whose
clothes were often so shabby that only
an eminent person would wear them.
Lord Salisbury's hats were enormous
affairs, quite equaling Mr.. Gladstone's
In size and much more respectable. In
deed Mr. Gladstone's headgear was
generally in the shocking bad hat
category. While in attendance In the
commons Mr.. Gladstone dressed fairly
well, but outside the house he paid lit
tie attention to his garments. The sue
cessors In office of the great departed
are, on the other hand, careful dressers,

FLAT AS A FOUNDER. +"
somsthins Of the Life History OF an In
terestinu and Curious Fish.


The expression AS fiat as floun-
der" has become ~ erbial, but it
does not apply TO very young fioun-
dcrs, which differ SO much from the
adult ones that they can hardly be
recognized as belonging To the same
family as their parents.
The founders begin life as do or
binary fishes. When they first
emerge from the egg they swim YER
tically, with the head turned up
ward. Their bodies are symmetrical,
and their eyes are on opposite sides
of the bend. Gradually the position
Of the body changes from vertical 10
horizontal, and the fish remain thus
for some time, swimming like ordl-
nary fishes. But while still very
small there is foreshadowinE of the
bottom life they are destined for,
and they enter upon series of re
markable changes. The most strik-
ing of these changes is in the posi-
ton Of the eve. The eye Of enc side
or the other slowly but steadily
moves over To the opposite side Of
the head and takes place beside the
other eve. In some founders the
eve moves around the front of the
head, In others 1t moves directly
through the head. THIS shifting of
the eyes position Is accompanied by
Il change in the position Of the body,
which ceases to be upright and be
comes more and more oblique. The
side ef the body from which the eye
is moving gradually becomes infe-
rior to the other until by the time
the change of the eve is complete
the fish swims with its blind side
underneath, and this position is
ever after maintained. The founder
then ceases Its free swimming habit
and sinks to the bottom.
Some species of founders are
right sided, and others are left
sided. In the right sided forms the
left eye moves to the right side and
the left side becomes undermost In
the left sided species the opposite
conditions prevail 1t rarely hap
pens that right sided species have
left sided individuals, and vice YER
sa. In few species both right sided
and left sided fish occur in about
equal numbers. st. Nicholas.
