THE PICTORIAL FINS.
without Them the Fish Would
stand ON It's Hend.

The pectoral fms of u fish are the two
fins, one on each slde Just back of the
head. These fins aid the fish to some
extent In swimming. They are small
oars which the fish feathers very beau
tifully and are of value chiefly to pre-
serve its equilibrium. 1t Is with these
fins that the fish maintains It's horizon
tai position In the water when not
swimming. without them the fish
would stand on It's head Sometimes
fish loses one or both of Its pectoral
fms by disease or by accident. A fsh
without pectoral fins is In bad way.
While most fishes keep a horizontal
position In the water when not swim
ming, there are fishes that do not. One
of these fishes Is the flefsh, which
when motionless suspends itself In the
water, head downward, at an angle of
forty-five degrees or even nearer the
perpendicular A flletish kept In an
aquarium which had lost both It's pee
toral fms inclined over backward past
the perpendicular when motionless to
about the same angle that 1t would
have kept in the other direction If Its
pectoral fins had been intact, so that
when not In motion II seemed to be ly-
ing at an angle on It's back.
In the same aquarium there was q
striped bass weighing about pound
and half, one of whose pectoral fins
was attacked at the tip by fungus,
which gradually encroached upon 1t.
Finally the diseased portions of the fin
were cut off with pair of sharp shears.
the cut being made within the sound
part of the fin. At first the fish was
like Il man In boat pulling one long
oar and one short one-it couldn't hold
course. But 1t soon accustomed IT.
self to its new condition, and there
after 1t got along very comfortably

ENGLISH ELECTIONS.
Standing For n Seat In Parliament
Is Expensive.


Although there are strict laws
against bribery in the English cleo
tions, standing for seat in parlia-
ment is by no means an inexpensive
matter. Even small constituency
will cost not less than $1,000. and the
expenses run from that up to $4,000
At one election candidate paid out
on an average of $50 for each vote,
but this Is regarded as the record
price, the cost running as low as 81
head.
The purchasing of vote disquallfies
the candidate, even though he may be
innocent of any participation In the
bribery, and as result candidates
and their workers-"agents" they call
them in England-are most careful
that their actions shall be above sus-
plcion.
Dinners may be served n constitu-
ency, but payment even to the women
of family is regarded as bribery, and
the candidates are compelled to trust
to speeches, house to house convasses
and literature, both for hand distrlbu-
ton and in the form of posters.

The Man Who Sings,

Give us, oh, give us, writes Carlyle,
the man who sings at his work! Be his
occupation what it may, he is superior
to those who follow the same pursuit
in silent sullenness. He will do more
in the same time, he will do it better,
he will persevere longer. One is scarce
ly sensible Of fatigue while one march
es to music. The very stars are said to
make harmony ms they revolve in their
spheres. Wondrous is the strength of
cheerfulness; altogether past calcula-
ton are its powers of endurance. Eff
forts, to be permanently useful, must
be uniformly joyous, a spirit all sun
shine, peaceful from very gladness,
beautiful because bright.

The BIOOdstone.

Almost every jewel has superstition
Of some sort attaching to it, and the
bloodstone is not wanting In this par
tcular. The story is told Of it that at
the time Of the crucifxion some drops
of blood fell on piece of dark green
jasper that lay at the foot of the cross.
The crimson crept through the struc-
ture Of the stone, and this was the
parent Of this beautiful jewel. The
dark red spots and veins were sup,
posed to represent the blood of Christ.
and many wonderful properties were
attributed to the stone. 1t was
thought to preserve its wearer from
dangers. to bring good fortune and to
heal many diseases.

Eczema,

Cosmetic jelly has been found an ex.
cellent remedy for eczema. You can
use it ON the face without the slightest
fear of unpleasant results. Take thirty
grains of gum tragacanth and soak for
three days in seven ounces of rose wa.

Of alcohol. an ounce of glycerin and q
suggestion of boric acid, say half tea
spoonful. The jelly is preparation
which has been found wonderfully fine

SWISS EDUCATION.
A serious Matter, Guarded jealousy
by the State.

ny the Stute.
One reason why the Swiss fare well
Is that their public school system is
probably the best in the world, and
with them public school education is
practically compulsory. You can send
your child to a private school 0n some
cantons) If you insist upon so doing,
but the face of the government and the
force of public opinion are sternly
against the practice. In the canton Of
Solothurn private schools are absolute
ly forbidden. In other cantons pri-
vate school pupil must secure formal
permit from the local authorities. and
in some cantons he must pay charge
to the public funds. The idea is that
the public schools are good enough for
all; that rich and poor are to meet
there on even terms; that the public
school is the nursery of democracy and
patriotism: above all, that democracy
is the lifeblood and strength and very
soul of the republic, and the republic is
Switzerland, and without the republic
Switzerland Is nothing. Private schools
for Swiss children are few in number,
and such as exist are under the strict
supervision of the state. Education is
serious matter in Switzerland. There
Is no escape from it. A parent must
send his children to school or go him
self to Jail. They kept Seventh Day
Adventist in jail for two years because
he refused TO let his child attend school
on Saturdays. As it then seemed likely
he would spend the rest Of his life in
cell he surrendered.-Everybody's Mag
aZine.

1t is really not the male lion, with
his terrific roar and formidable ap-
pearance, that the explorer fears, but
his mate. The male lion Is good
looking poser, but when It comes to
business 1t is his wife who counts, a
la the African native. Game Is pulled
down by the female lion, and then the
male beats her Off until he has Toasted
to repletion, when she may have what
is left; hence "the lions share"

Great Men Have Been Erect.

The first object of physical methods
should be to straighten and expand the
body. The world may in a broad, gen.
eral way be divided into two great
classes-the erect and the lnerect, the
strong and the weak. The epoch max

straight spine and broad high.
