Fish In Inelossd Waters.

Most people not without education and a general knowledge of natural history are mystffied by the presence of fish in incloSed waters. For many years there was open mouthed wonder over the perch. bream and crsyfsh found in the newly cut dams near the MscquaFie river. in New South Wales- Tn some cases the water had scarcely settled after the rain had filed the dam than the fish were observed. and the Australian farmers started q the ory of spontaneous prOd8ction- This obtained and gained wide cresIe1ce ul- til a Sydney professor chzReed b pick un q wfd duck and fourd it's breast feathers and vebhed feet vel dsttsd with fertile and almost hztched hsA eva o1 which the ~spoztsneo1s Fzo- dEctiaa" thecTy was r-uuptly witA- drzwa-St Louis Globe-Ds1cerzE

MODES OF THE MOMENT.

The cloth gown ais formal gown for dinner and evening is one of the fea- lures of the new styles, its very nov city giving it beauty.
 Among the fur trimmed garments already displayed the handsomest are so heavily braided as to entirely con ceal the union of cloth and fur.
 The velvet dress and the velvet suit will be in equal evidence, and we shall have velvet costumes trimmed with cloth and cloth costumes trimmed with velvet.
 Buttons are ubiquitous this season and will be seen on the majority of afternoon tailor mades, those of dull gold and silver and of filigree metals and Japanese clOisonne enamel being the most popular.
 The plaited skirt is so becoming-for it makes a woman look tall-that many gowns are being made up in plaited fashion. Flounces are laid in side plaits, and skirts are plaited from the belt to the hem. Deep tucks are laid in the skirt. and the side plating holds the tucks in place and makes them more becoming Eagle.

Tears and Joy.

Under the title Tears of Joy" GeUr-r rrIrIerici writes 10 g reTssa paper that the custom of weeping and bowling on all occasions of great joy was general among the early inhabit- ants Of America" and that in many tribes visited br him in South America the approved form of welcome was stiIl to weep Tears of welcome" he says, are also shed by the natives Of the Caribbean islands and by the Sioux. AlEonquius and other North American Indians. From all that I have seen. judge that in times past tears and Joy were inseparabIe and that the emotion which civilized peo- pie Ro- display at parting was once the expression Of hearty welcome"

JOSS STICKS.
The Process of Their Preparation Still
 Practically Unknown.

Practically Unknown.
 In all countries where Buddhist wor- ship is celebrated there is great con. sumption of joss sticks" These cere. monial candles are lighted on occa- sions of festivity or mourning. prayer or thanksgiving to dlyinities. and the like. Joss sticks are at once candles and incense. since. like the latter, they burn without apparent flame. Their preparation is shrouded in some mys- tery. and the process is still practically unknown. those who carry it on being chosen from a special class and kept in rigorous seclusion.
 A squared strip of bamboo. of vary ing length and thickness. according to the size of the joss stick that is to be made, is skiIlfully rolled on an inclined surface fin a mixture of odoriferous powders aggIutinated by resin. made viscous by slight elevation Of temper ature. One of the ends is left as 1t Is. to serve as a handle. In some cases the bamboo is replaced with a flexible rod. which enables the joss stick to be rolled in spiral form.
 The composition of the odoriferous powders varies with the country Those used in Indo-China come gen. eralIy from the province of Canton and include fourteen drugs. among which may he named camphor. san dalwOod. aconite and cloye. AcOnite plays the part Of a preservatiye and protects the joss sticks well against the attacks of rats and mice. - Chicago Naua

RET|EN'S PRISON DAYS
ARE DRAWING To CLOSE
Directors Vote to Release
Him From Penitentiary
on June 80

SAN QUENTIN, June s.--Prison Di-
rectors w. r. Porter, c. n. FELTON,, Don
Ray and r. T. Devlin voted today to
release Jack Chretien on June 80, the
day on which his term will expire
with credits Chretien intends to go
to Paris, where position awaits him.
He says he will never return to the
United States.
Since coming to San Quentin Chretien
has been guilty of but one offense.
That was the transferring OF 500 to
the account of a prisoner who was
about to be discharged and who had
no money. Chretien intended to re-
store the money when a couple OF hun
dred dollars he was expecting would
arrive. He was taken off the prison
books and assigned to other duty be-
fore the money arrived. When he was
able to pay the money back he made a
complete confession to the warden and
for the breach of discipline lost all his
credits. The lost credits were restored
to him by the vote of the prison direct
ors today.

of Duty Devolving on
Good Citizens
DELIVERS AN ADDRESS

WASHINGTON. June s.-President
Roosevelt as a member of the blue
lodge of the Masonic fraternity made
an address at the laying Of the corner
stone this afternoon of the Masonic
temple, which is to be erected here at
Thirteenth street and New York ave-
nue.. A large crowd was present, in
cluding many prominent Masons. The
gavel and trowel used were the same
as those used by President Washington
in laying the cornerstone Of the United
States capitol, September IS, 1898, and
the bible was used by Fredericksburg
lodge No. 4 of Virginia when Wash
ington became member of the frater-
nifty. The presiden, spread some ce-
ment under the corner stone with the
trowel, and later was handed the gavel
. and also the bible, which he examined
closely as he turned the pages of the
sacred book. Deposited in the corner
stone are steel portraits of Presidents
Washington and Roosevelt fac similie
copies of the declaration of independ-
ence and the constitution of the United
States and a newspaper account of the
death of President Garfield. Music was
furnished by the marine band.
President Roosevelt spoke in part as
follows: Most worshipfu1 grand mas
ter, brethren and friends-It is a priv
ilege and pleasure to take part today

am sure all of us must appreciate the
courtesy of these brethren of other
lodges which has rendered it possible
to use on this occasion the bible upon
which the great first citizen of this re-
public, Washington, took the oath
when he was made a Mason, and the
implement which he used as Mason
in laying the cornerstone of the cap
itol. Surely there is no place, no other
city In the United States where there
should be as fine a Masonic temple as
here in Washington, for 1t is In sense
a temple from the whole country. I
have but a word to say to you, and
that word must always be appropriate
in any Masonic meeting where the
name Of Washington is mentioned.
ask of each brother that he shall re-
member ever that there is upon him a
particular obligation to show himself
in every respect a good citizen; for,
after all, the way In which he can best
do his duty is by rejecting credit upon
that order by the way in which he
performs his duty as citizen. Let me
also point out that 1t is well not to
wait for times Of unusual crises be-
fore you become a good citizen We
are all Of US aware of the temptation
to think what g. splendid and heroic
part we would play IL the times de-
manded 1t, while at the same time, it
is not always easy to do the worka-
day humdrum duty Of the moment"
