Newest Fashionable Pet.

Strange are the pets that London fashion" compels its followers to keep, and various as they are strange. A new Cuban poodle was the rage a few months back. A special canary follows. Now it is a fish again, and the strangest of fish at that. The gold fish will have to look to its laurels, otherwise 1t will most certainly be superseded in popularity by the devil fish, most quaint-looking reptile, for which, leading dealer states, there nave been innumerable demands of late.
 The real home of this fish is Mexico, and owing to its being somewhat rare the cost of devifish is considerably higher than that of the goldfish, which can be bought for few pence, while the price of its rival varies from five to ten shillings. A curious character. istic of the devilfish is that 1t almost invariably remains at the bottom of It's bowl or tank, and 1t is most unusual to see 1t swimming about. Unlike it's golden-scaled relation, 1t does not de mand a frequent change of water in Its home, but will live quite well in the same water for weeks together, while its taste in the matter of food is not hard to please, for devilfish likes nothing better than very small worm. AS general rule London deal- CTS sell these fish by pairs.-London Daily Mail.

Great, but Absent.Minded.

It is no disgrace, even for a famous man, to lose an umbrella, so the New York Times tells with evident delight of celebrated lawyer who darted into "a furnishing goods store on a recent rainy Friday, purchased an umbrella and carried it as far as the door.
 There he stopped to make note in a memorandum book. He left the um- brella leaning against the wall while he wrote, and when he finished the writing he started out without a thought of the umbrella.
 Within q minute he rushed into the other door of the same shop. He want, ed to buy an umbrella. T thought had one with me when left home," he said, in semi-apolO- getic way, "but I guess I must have forgotten to take it." A second salesman sold him another umbrella. As he started to carry it from the shop, the first salesman con- fronted him.
 "You left your umbrella, sir," the clerk said, as he held up the original purchase
 "Bless me, so I did," cried the law. yer, "and I suppose I was going of with some other man'sw He pushed the second purchase into the hands of the surprised clerk, seized the first one, and dashed into the storm again with his umbrella-under his arm.
