The black bass Is like "a roaring
lion going about seeking whom he
may devour," says writer in Field
and Stream. 81 have seen good
sized specimen 20 into a school of
minnows and eat and stuff until he
could not get any more into his ca
pacious insides, then go off by him
self, throw up what he had eaten
and begin over again, after which he
would keep on killing the poor, in
nocent minnows apparently for the
mere pleasure of killing. Very young
bass will attack minute water plants
and get away with every one In sight,
adopting the same method as their
elders. To illustrate the extent Of
the cannibalism of the black bass,
here is an experience of superin-
tendent of one of the fish hatcheries
In Pennsylvania:
THE superintendent made an act
ual count Of 10000 young bass about
an inch long and placed them in a
fry pond by themselves. He gave
them food six times a day, and, ac-
cording to his statement, each fish
ate on an average three times its
own weight of prepared food every
twenty-four hours. They were placed
in pond on July /, and on October
i, when they were taken out. there
were only 1900, and the record
showed that less than 200 died from
sickness. 1t Is reasonable to sup
pose. therefore, that, in addition to
the food given them by the superin-
tendent, there were about 5000 bass
devoured by their stronger and more
fortunate companions"

Modern Business Politeness.

"A custom of politeness that Is
modern In the extent of its practice,
II not in its introduction" said a
man old enough to be acquainted
with ways comparatively speaking
ancient, "is that Of writing thanks
or thank you after the signature on
receipted bills sent in due course on
payment OF accounts; a form that
costs little effort on the part of the
signer and that is sure TO be not
unpleasing to the person to whom
such politeness is offered.
Widespread is the custom in its
practice now, and so in Its observ-
ance, not likely to be surprising, but
to-day there came to my attention
an instance of courtesy in this form
that did at first seem rather strained
and excessive.
ION receipted bill received with
goods sent to me G. o. D., ! found
after the signature the polite thank
you,' and here this seemed almost
superfluous; for this was a transient
and impersonal transaction. But q
moments reflection showed that the
thank you here was really neither
superhous nor excessive, but quite
correct; that we should have re-
ceived from the salesman If we had
paid him the cash for the goods at
the time OF their purchase.

What Becomes OF Old Shoes.

What becomes Of all the old shoes
Is question quite as puzzling as
where all the pins go. Old shoes,
however. really have an important
place in the trade world and serve
numerous useful purposes. says the
Chicago Tribune.
They are all cut in small pieces
and put to soak for couple Of days
in chloride of sulphur, which makes
the leather hard and brittle.
1t is then washed off with tepid
water. dried and ground to a fine
powder, which is mixed with an ad-
hesive substance, such as glue or
shellac, or thick solution of gum.
The material is then put into moulds
to form combs, buttons and a variety
OF useful things that are supposed to
be made of rubber.
Old leather is used to make prus-
sic potash. 1t is put into a large iron
pot and heated with pearl ash and
old iron hooks. The soluble portions
are dissolved out. the salt that re-
suits Is added to one of iron, and
Prussian blue, used either for dyeing
purposes or as pigment, is made.
BY another process Of reducing the
leather to powder 1t is converted
again into an artificial leather which
is used In making the cheaper grade
OF shoes.

Origin OF a Modern Phrase.

Hip! Hip! Hurrah!" is a mod
ern phrase. The "Hipl" and the
"Hurrah!" do not seem to have
come together before the nineteenth
century. In the eighteenth century
"Hip!" amountd to Just Hi" or
"Hullo!" while "Hurrah" was then
usually "Huzza!" 1t is like the Cos
sack shout Oral" but 1t is supposed
to have been a German cry of the
chase, adapted by the German SOL
diers to war, and borrowed from
them by the English. perhaps first of
all at the time of the thirty years.
war; "Hurra!" is said to have been
the battle cry of the Prussians in the
war of liberation G812-1813). Still
the curious fact that seventeenth
and eighteenth century writer's call
"Huzza!" sailors shout lends sup
port to the conjecture that 1t may
really have been the hosting cry,
"Hissa!"

$15,000,000 For States Schools.
Leading Educators ask That Appropriation
Be Increased by S2,o00,000.

Prominent educators of the State
have issued statemen on behalf
of the plan to increase the appro.
priation for the public schools from
81 600, 900 to SIS, 1000, 900. Chair
man Sheath, of the house appro-
priations committee, has already
indicated that he is in favor of max
ing this increase and so has Cover
nor Stuart. The statement in part
is as follows:
Harrisburg, May Owe invite
serious attention to the following
facts relative to the general appro-
priation bill now before the legis-
lature and, in the light of what is
hereby shown. we are confident of
Immediate cooperation in aiding us
to secure an increase of the State
appropriat on for schools from
$I3, 900, 900, as now proposed,
81 900. 900, as it should be.
I'm IS94-5 the appropriation per
pupil in Pennsylvania was S.. 20,
while the appropriation per pupil in
the bill now pending is but S4.So.
Although the total contribution to
education is larger, the proposed
increase does not by any means
keep pace with the increase of
school population. In 1895 the ap.
preparation for education was 46
per cent. of the total revenue, while
in the present bill the appropria-
ton is but rs per cent. of the
revenue. Should new revenue bills
be passed, as now seems likely.
and the appropriations for schools
be not increased, the percentage of
the amount given to education will
tall below twenty-five.
"The manifest conclusion is that
the schools have imperative need
tor more money by State appropria-
ton. In almost every public ad-
dress during the recent campaign,
the governor put himself on record
as desiring to deal generously and
more literally with the public
schools, and we are most certain
that he is anxious to fulfill every
promise of the campaign"

Keep the Balance Up.

1t has been truthfully said that
any disturbance of the even balance
OF health causes serious trouble.
Nobody can be too careful to keep
this balance up. When people be-
gin to lose appetite, or to get tired
easily, the least imprudence Brings
on sickness, weakness, or debility.
The system needs a tonic. Graves it,
and should not be denied it and
the, hest tonic of which we have
any knowledge is Hoods Sarsa-
parilla. What this medicine has
done in keeping healthy people
healthy, i'll keeping up the even
balance of health, gives it the same
distinction as preventive that it
enjoys as cure. It's early use has
illustrated the wisdom of the old
saying that stitch in time saves
nine. Take Hoods for appetite,
strength. and endurance.

some time in this country is Charles

a half-breed and a quarter-blood. II
also was declared that he was the
only man with aboriginal blood in his
veins who had ever won place in
the upper house of Congress. This
last statement was great mistake.
Matthew Stanley Quay of Pennsyl-

blood in his veins and was as proud
Of 1t as Curtis undeniably is.
Curtis is little man with black
hair and swarthy complexion. He is

for the United States. Chief Con

Canadian and her daughter, Julian
Papan, married c. =. Curtis, cap
tain in the Fifteenth Kansas Volun-
tcers. who served in the civil war.
Captain Curtis was of Puritanlcal
New England stock. The present
Senator's mother died when he was
baby; his father. who lost his
health in the civil war, did not sur
yive long and died poor. His part
bred Indian grandmother was still
alive, however, and she knew how
badly he wanted to study. He was
living with her at the time and SELL
ing newspapers for living. One day
she said abruptly:
Charlie, do you really want an
education bad enough to work for

We'll, yes, grandmother" said the
boy. I think | do"

The boy told the Judge of his
legal aspirations. The Judge wasn't
enthusiastic There were more poor
lawyers in Topeka, he said, than
there was practise for them.
But there aren't more good ones,

boy.

He wetted the lid of the box again,
and drew off another scrap of paper.

and we saw this in Warren's writing
on the cardboard that Steel had laid
bare:

This" said Steel, 'is one of the
relics that she took from her dead
lovers room; and she understood:

And it's murder-and she's rid the
world OF cursed scoundrel!"

The Second swayed little in his

groaned; and then he swayed little

MARK TWAIN'S CHILDREN.
A Case Where Attempted Punishment
 Proved a Hopeless Failure.

Proved Hopeless Failure.
 Ordinary punishments answered very well for Susy. She was a thinker and would reason out the purpose of them, apply the lesson and achieve the re- form required. But it was much less easy to devise punislments that would reform Clara. This was because she was a philosopher who was always turning her attention to finding some thing good and satisfactory and enter taining in everything that came her way. Consequently 1t was sometimes pretty discoura ging to the troubled mother to find that after all her pains and thought in inventing what she meant to be a severe and reform com polling punishment the child had en- tirely missed the seventies through her native disposition to get interest and pleasure out of them as novelties. The mother, in her anxiety to find pen alty that would take sharp hold and do it's work effectively, at last resorted, win a sore heaFt and with a reprOach- ful conscience, to that punishment which the incorrigible criminal in the penitentlary dreads above all the other punitive miseries which the warden in flicts upon him for his good-solitary confinement in the dark chamber. The grieved and worried mother shut Clara up in very small clothes closet and went away and left her therefor if teen minutes. It was ali that the moth CT heart could endure. Then she came softly back and istened-listened for the sobs. but there weren't any; there were untitled and inarticulate sounds, but they could not be construed into SobS. The mother waited half an hour longer. By that time she was suffering sion for the little prisoner that she was not able to wait any longer for the dis tresSed sounds which she had counted upon to inform her when there had been punishment enough and the re- form accomplished. She opened the closet to set the prisoner free and take her back into her loving favor and for givenCss, but the result was not the one expected. The captive had nanu- factured a fairy cavern out of the closet, and friendly fairies out of the clothes hanging from the hooks and was having q most sinful and unre- pentant good time and requested per mission to spend the rest of the day there.-FTOm Mark Twain's Autobiog. raphy in North American Review.
