GUTMiARD, THE SPIDER,
The Great Dancer of the Great Days ot
 the Ballet

The Great Dancer of the Great Days oi
 the Ballet
 The elder vestris, who tiourfsbea in the middle of the eighteenth cent,,r,, called himself the "god of dancing, ;, and declared in all sincerity ana with out rebuke that his century had nro. duced but three supreme men-himself, Frederick the Great and yoltaire. Ou one occasion, when reprovfng his son Augustus for refusing to dance before the King of Sweden at the request ot the King of France, he said that he would not tolerate any misunderstand- ing between the houses of vestris and Bourbon, which had lived hitherto I'D, on the most friendly terms.
 Madeline Guimard made her dAbui when she was 1S years of age, and for nearly thirty years kept all Paris wor- shipping at her feet This was a, suc- cess of art, and not of beauty, for Gut. mard was so aggressively thin that she
 
 was known as "the Spider" She dis covered the great painter David, who helped Fragonard to adorn her house with frescoes, indeed, Fragonard, for whose paintings to-day fabulous sums have been paid, lost his commissions because he dared to fall in love with his patron. Guimard had theatre in her own house, and her entertainments there were deemed extravagant in an age of luxury Paris could not spare her to London until she was past her 10th year. She was sort of budoir ad- wiser to Marie Antoinette, and so great was the esteem in which she was held that one of the most distinguished sculptors of the day modelled her foot, and when her arm was broken, in a state accident, a mass for her speedy recovery was celebrated in Notre Dame. -Macmillan's Magazine.

THE BLACK BASS.
Finny Butcher That Kills for the
 Pleasure of Slaughter.

Finny Butcher That Kills for the
 Pleasure of Slaughter,
 The bass is like a roaring lion going about seeking whom he may devour. I have seen a good-sized specimen get into a school of minnows and eat and stuff until he could not get any more into his capacious insides, then go off by himself, throw up what he had eaten and begin over again, after which he would keep on killing the poor inno- cent minnows. apparently for the mere pleasure of killing Very young bass will attack minute water life which f1ourishes on water plants and get away with every one in sight, adopting the same method as their elders. To illus trate the extent of the cannibalism of the black bass here is the experience of a suerintendent of one of the fish hatcheries in Pennsylvania:
 "The superintendent made an actual count of 10000 young bass about an inch long and placed them in fry pond by themselves. He gave them food six times a day, and, according to his state- ment, each fish ate on an average three times it's own weight of the prepared food every twenty-four hours. They were. placedin a pond on the 1st of July. and on October 1, when they were taken, out, there were only 11.OOO, and the record showed that less than POO died from sickness. It is reasonable to suppose, therefore, that in addition to the food given them by the superinten- dent there were about 5000 bass de- voured by their stronger and more for tunate companions. w. E. Meehan in Field and Stream.
