Pr REJECTION OF FISHES.
Various Ways in Which the filmed
Creatures Defend Themselves
from Foes. S

The Australian leatherjacket will
swim up with the hook in its lip and
with its sharp teeth sever the slack
line above. The pollack will plunge
headlong to the rocks and fray the
line against some handy shell of mus
sci or oyster. The blue shark twists
in the water with such rapidly as to
test the bravest gear.
The sharks and rays have obviously
less to fear than the herring or mack
erel. The fishes which live on the
bottom can clearly disregard the at
tacks of such marauding fowl as the
gull and gunnet, while even the cor
morant and diver do not. as a rule,
seek their prey far beneath the sur
face water. The typical ground dwell
.ers of our seas, moreover, the flatfish.
are SO formed, that, save when ex-
tremely small, they would in all prob
ability choke any fowl so ill-advised
as to try to swallow them whole. The
scales Of fishes are Of little use as
armor. In the case Of crabs, Holsters
and other shell fish, z however, their
coverings are sure defenders, and they
would seldom die except from old age.

8oNL n ROBBED GERMANS.
French Woman Who Had Singular
Reason for Picking Of
4 Pockets. |

S In Paris, the police have discovered
a woman whose peculiar sort OF pat
triotisn has been compared to that Of
Boule de Sulf in Guy de Maupassant,s
story. She was arrested recently for
having robbed d German merchant If
G6S. TO the magistrate she made 8
strange declaration. She said that her
main object in life was to decoy GER
mans and TO rob them. She went
about with them to cafes and music
halls, and while Affecting to be very
much interested 10 them she picked
their pockets. In this way she had
annexed for several years past over
ee7o0s She had picked the pockets Of
exactly 81 Germans. and she was proud
s0f #. AS her reason for thus acting, tho
woman said that In 1870 her family In
Normandy had been completely ruined
BY German invaders, who stole her
fathers cattle, pigs, fowls ana even
plate. she was then Obliged 20 90 out
as d dairymaid, but not being accuse
toned to servitude she came to Paris.
and began wayIaying and rot5hing Ger
lnans The magistrate listened to this
tale calmly 1t made no impression on
him. for he sent the new Boula de SuIf
back TO the depot, there 70 await trial.

the matter Of post cards the German
empire heads the list with no fewer
than 1,161 200, 900 posted there during
that year. vi. 49, ~
Even the United States, whose popu-
lation is about one-haff in excess Of
that of Germany, can boast Of only
10000, 900 Of those missives. Great
Britain comes next with 61s, 900 900.
Japan, which previously used next to
Germany most post cards. is now
fourth on the list with 4s7, 500 900.
The inhabitants Of Germany alone,
therefore, are now availing themselves
OF nearly as many. post cards as the
United States and Japan together. 9th

the race; not one Of them reaches the
number of 400, 000, 900. s
As to letters, however, the United

FAMOUS INDIAN DEAD

Weary Years.

st. Joseph, Mo.-Frank Grouard, who
died few days ago at his home here,
was one of the few men who DURING
the Indian warfare on the borders oi
Dakota, Montana and Wyoming gained
fame as a government scout.
During the last Sioux outbreak, In
the winter of 189O-189i, which culmi.
mated in the bloody battle of Wounded
Knee creek, he was chief of scouts and
rendered valuable aid to the govern.

Grouard's life was filed with thrill.

were fortunate enough to have as in,
teresting career as he. He was born
September 20. 1850, In the South Pa,
ciac islands, his father having been
missionary to the islands and his
mother the daughter OF native king
When 10 years old he was captured
by Sioux Indians while employed az
mail rider in Montana, and not foy
six years was he able to make his es.
cape.
When Gen. Crook inaugurated his
campaign against the Sioux Indians
young Grouard was employed by him
as scout. The knowledge gained by
him when captive Of the Sioux, dur.
ing which he entered into the spirit
of savagery with zest that astonish.
ed even those who had been friendly
toward him, stood him in good stead
when he took up the duties of gov.
eminent scout
Grouard first met Gen. Crook at Fort
Laramie in the winter of 1874. His
really remarkable work as a scout
made the general a lifelong friend, and
when the warlike Sioux had been sub.
dued, Gen. Crook filed with the war de-
partment recommendation that Gro.
uard as reward for his work, be car.
rled on the rolls of the government as
scout at salary of S150 per month
to the end of his days.
Grouard was generally recognized az
the first white person to have reached
the Custer battlefield after the massa.

beef contractor at the post was raided
one night by what was known as the
Black Hills gang of horse thieves, and
Grouard and ten men and sergeant
were detailed to follow the thieves and
capture them and recover the stolen
horses.
The thieves were chased nearly, ia
the Missouri river, in what is now cen.
trail South Dakota, and before Grouard
left their trail he had, with the assist

been instrumental in capturing Ia
members of the gang. All were tried
IN due time and convicted, and what
mad been one Of the best organized
bands OF horse "rustlers'' in the history
OF the Black Hills was effectually
broken up.
