Qneer ThinEn About IEIahes.

A naturalist describes the ways In
which fishes sleep. They are very
light sIeepers and frequently assume
singular positions. but the most re-
markable thing Is the change OF color
many of them undergo while asleep.
Usually their spots and stripes become
darker and more distinct when they
fall asleep. Occasionally the pattern
Of their colorntIOn IS entirely changed.
The ordinary norEy, for Instance, pre-
sents In the daytime beautiful rides
cent hues playing over its si1very sides.
but Mt night, on falling asleep It takes
on dull bronze tint, and six conspicu-
ous black bands make their appearance
on its sides. IfitIs suddenly awakened
by the turning up OF the gas In the
aquarium. It Immediately resumes the
silvery color Tint It shows by daylight
The naturalist ascrfbes these changes
to the principle OF protective colora-
tlon'' and points out that the appear
ance of black bands and the deepening
OF the spots serve 60 conceal the fis1
from their enemies when lying amid
eeIgruss and seaweeds.

He who defers an unpleasant duty
does it twice Anticipation of it may
become continued torture. 1t Is wise
to be done with it In the first place.
and then contemplation of 1t becomes
pleasure. The undone task, resting
upon your head, weighs you down and
holds you back. The well finished one,
beneath your feet raises you up and
helps you forward. Somehow or other
1t seems that the hard things are the
Important things. Maybe it is because
they are hard and sometimes left un-
done that their Importance is realized.

but just quietly cast about for the dis
agreeable parts Of your work from
which you have shrunk. There you
will find your point of weakness, You
may not attach much importance to
these things you shirk from, hut you
can never know how your neglect of
them has changed the current Of your
life.

The bald eagle, white headed eagle
white headed sea eagle or bird of
washington is of particular interest
to Americans as the national emblem
OF the United States. to which dignity
Il was elevated on June 90 1852 The
name ssDald' eagle originated from the
white head and the erroneous impress
sion OF badness it gives at a distance.
This bird measures about three or
three and a half feet In length, from
six to eight feet in extent Of wings
and weighs from six to twelve pounds.
Under most circumstances wary and

unsusplcious Unprovoked Il rarely
attacks man, although SUCH Instances
have been reported. It prefers trees
for watching and rOosting but In
spring sometimes descends to ride the
cakes of ice in the river, apparently
looking for fish.
This species breeds throughout Its
range wherever suitable places exist,
ana 1t has been known to lay and hatch
eggs in confinement. In the southern
T1art of the United States. from Florida
to Texas, 1t breeds veiY early, deposit
ing it's eggs usually during the first
half of December; in the middle states
aud in California it lays in February or
March. about the middle Of April In
southern Alaska. sometimes in May OF
even June in the arctic regions.
The nest is located nearly always in
the vicinity of n stream or body OF wa
ter. The ravorite site is the top OF a
tsiH tree. Where there are no trees a
rock or a niche IN 4 cliff serves the
purpose
The same nest is occupied year after

meuted until it becomes an immense

the delegates attending the Pittsbmg
district miners convention unanimously
adopted a resolution yesterday declaring
the Offices Of president and vice president
Of the Pittsburg district miners vacant.
The delegates at once notified Presi-
dent John Mitchell, now in New York
Of their action, and it is expected he will
appoint men TO fill the two offices some
time during the day. There was much
disorder when the resolution was intro
duced.
II grew more uproarious when Presi-
dent Dolan, who presided, ruled the
resolution out Of order, and eliminated
in a scene of wild excitement when the
Delegates voted unanimously for its
adoption. President Dolan reiterated
bis declarations that he would not be
ousted unless by a referendum vote Of
the miners Of the PittsbWg district who
elected him as their leader.
President Mitchell was notified OF the
proposed action by the delegates, who
asked him il he would appoint success
sors TO President Doland and Vice Pres
ident Uriah Bellingham if the resolu.
ton was passed. President Mitchell's
reply, which stated he would immediate

before the noon adjournment The
resolution was then introduced and pass

afternoon.
