Hnn Ruled nH Years.

If you ask any one who has not paid close attention to modern history to name the monarch who has ruled longer than any one else in Europe the chances are that he will reply: King Christian of Denmark" Yet he would be wrong, for Franz Josef was Emperor of Austria many years before Christian came to the throne Franz Josef has now reigned fif- ty-five years, which is a long period, trough not so very remarkable when it is remembered that Queen Victoria reign cd sixty-fEur years and Louis XIV. sev- erty-two. On the other hand. King Christian is older than Franz Josef; in- dced, he Is the oldest ruler in Europe, having been born on April 8. ISIS, while the Austrian Emperor was not born until lS3G.
 Next to Franz Josef in point of seni- ority comes the Prince of Montenegro, father of the Queen of Italy, who as- ended the throne in 1860. Then in suc- cession come the King of Denmark. his sen, George, King of Greece; King Leo pold of Belgium. and King Oscar H. of Sweden and Norway Pope Plus x. Is the latest monarch who has been elected, and a few weeks before that important even servia obtained a new ruler in the person of Peter I.

Nesting Fish.

Some remaarkahIe interesting fishes called paradise fish have lately been brought from Japan which build nests for their young. The name is given them from the beautiful colors which the male fish dons when he goes a-wooing. His ordinary color is dull silver, which at this time gives place to stripes of red. green and yellow. with streaks of bright est orange on the vertical fin.
 The female constructs the family nest at the surface of the water by swallowing air which she ejects in the shape of bub- bles These are held and made perma- ,nent by glutinous capsules from a secre- ton in her mouth. After producing a sufficient number of bubbles she begins to lay. Being seized with a desire to gobble her own eggs, she would make way with them all were it not for the wig ilance of the male fish, who takes the eggs in his mouth and elects them so that they rise and find a resting place under the mass of bubbles.
 When the laying is finished he keeps guard over the nest and attacks the fe- male If she comes near. At the same time he buses himself making bubbles to take the place of those which burst. At the end of five days the eggs are matched, but as the young fish cannot swim they cling to the air bubbles like tadpoles. If one falls to the bottom the watchful fath- CT takes 1t in his mouth and disgorges it among the bubbles again. It is easy to watch these interesting little fish, for they will breed and thrive in an aqua rum or even a glass globe.

Brave Japanese Fishermen.

The Japanese as race are fearless. This Is evidenced by the hazardous oc- cupation of the little brown men who earn a living far from the rocky coast lines of the islands. One of the chief ar ticles of diet in Japan is fish, To se- cure 1t for the market the Japanese go many miles from land in their tiny craft, while to those who do not understand their strength and buoyancy look as though any ordinary wave would capsize them. These Japanese go two and three hundred miles at sea to catch fish.
 Each year the shores of the islands are strewR with wreckage from the boats, while the sea gives up the bodies of the brave men who were caught in the fear full typhoons which sweep around this cor ner of the earth. Then. again, the ocean lirers take the lives of many of these doughty Japlnese. There is never dim mutton in the numbers of the fleet.
