How Fishes Breathe.

By means of their gills fish
breathe the air dissolved In water.
The oxygen consumed by them is not
that which forms the chemical con-
sistuent of the water, but that con-
tanned in the air which is dissolved
in the water. Fishes transferred to
water from which the air has been
driven out by high temperature, or
in which the air absorbed by them
is not replaced, are soon suffocated.
They require aerated water to main
tain life, and they take it in con-
stantly through their mouths and
expels it through their gills, retain
ing the air. 1t follows that if the
water In lake should be completely
cut off from contact with the air
long enough to exhaust the supply of
air, the fish in the lake would die.
1t would take a severe and pretty
long-continued freeze to accomplish
this, but it might happen, and doubt
less has frequently happened, with
small body of water-From Ma
ture and Science in January St.

The Jap Baby.

How do you suppose the babies
take an airing? In baby carriages,
you say? Of course not; the Jap
anese never do anything the way we
do it. When the baby's about three
days old, it goes out for its first
glimpse of the world strapped on
somebody's back, and that's the way
it goes every day till it can go OH
its own feet. Sometimes it's mother
or its nurse takes it, but very often
it rides on the back of brother or
sister, who is perhaps not more than
four or five years old. These little
nurses don't seem to be troubled at
all by their charges, as you would
suppose; they play ball and tag, and
run races and fly kites, in spite of
the heavy loads on their backs. What
is more remarkable, the babies are
perfectly happy; and hardly ever cry.
though when their young nurses run
with them, the poor babies faces
bang back and forth against their
care-takers' shoulders till an Ameri-
can baby would howl with pain and
rage.-Exchange

OUR YOUNG PEOPLE
Table Manners.

The blue-jay is a greedy bird: l OF
ten watch him eat.
When crumbs are scattered from our
door, he snatches all the treat.
He drives the smaller birds away, his
manners are so rude.
It's quite shocking thing to see him
gobble down his food!
And sometimes, when I'm Tot polite,
/ hear my mother say:
'sWhy, now I see a little boy who's
eating blue-jay way"
The sparrows are noisy set, anu
very quarrelsome,
Because each hungry little bird de-
sires the biggest crumb.
They scold and fight about the food,
all chirping. "Mel Me! Mew
And sometimes. when we children are
inclined to disagree
About the sharing of a treat, my
mother says: "Why, you
Are acting now the very way the
silly sparrows doW
The jolly little .chickadees are per-
fectly polite:
They meyer snatch, they never bolt,
they never, never fight.
They hold the crumbs down daintily
with both their little feet,
And peck off tiny little bites-we
love to watch them eat.
And when my sisters good at meals,
my mother says: "I see
A little girl who's eating like darl-
ing chickadee!" !"

SENATOR MONEYS VIEWS.

Senator Money, in an interview Civ
en- out while in Jackson during the
week, expressed himself as opposed to
any measure having for its purpose
the strengthening of the federal quar-
antine: in fact Senator Money express
ed himself in favor of curtailing the
power of the federal government in
quarantine matters instead of increaS-
ing that power. But then Senator
Money only recently expressed himself
as pleased that President Roosevelt,
while on his Southern trip, would not
stop in Mississippi! Senator Money
did not express the sentiment of Mis-
sisSjppianS generally then and neither
does he do so O in quarantine mat
tiers. The people of Mississippi would
be pleased to have the federal govern
ment take full charge of the coast
quarantine, yellow fever will be kept
from our state and the local quaran-
tines will not be necessary.-Green-

tenant Governor Stands was, himself,
a gallant Confederate soldier; when
the time arrived to throw off the yoke
of radicaliSm in Mississippi, foisted on
the people by carpetbaggerS and ne
grOeS, the voice of G.. ID. Stands was
heard on many StumpS for white su-
premacy; he was, in fact, in the thick
est Of the fight for white supremacy

mar. with insulting the old Confeder-
ate soldiers because he says let us look
to the future and brood not over the

The popular subscription for a silver
service for the battleship Mississippi
is not piling up as rapidly as some
thought. 1t will yet be necessary for
the Legislature to supplement- the SUBJ
Scription. We have not enthused over
it ourselves. We think the state
should make a handsome apprOpria-
ton, but see no good reason for going
down into Onr W pockets when it is
most likely that the legislature will
deal out the funds, that might have
to the silver service, in a lavish
way to something else, perhaps not
essential.

Ghe recent quarterly report of the

gives the following data in reference
20 railroad accidents in the United
states. The report covers a period of
four years back and Shows that during
a1at time 1851 passengers and r.
III employees have lost their lives on
railroads. In the three months end
ing June 80, last, 81 passengers and
SO4 employees met their death in rail-
road accidents. In the last year COW
sred by this report 305 passengers
were killed by railways. The report
shows that the number being killed is
increasing. Various causes are being
assigned for this increase to which the
attention of congress is directed. One
reason perhaps is that there are more
people travelling.
