Floating Eggs Of Fish.

Among the fishes which produce
floating eggs may be mentioned the
cod. mackerel, bonito, cusk, had
dock, many Of the founders. etc. A
very curious and interesting contriv-
ance for causing eggs to float at the
surface which otherwise would sink to
the bottom is that resorted to by the
beautiful paradise fish of China. The
male fish constructs a floating raft by
expelling from his mouth bubbles of
air coated with fatty secretion,
which. collecting on the surface, cling
together until raft of viscid scum sew
eral inches in extent is formed. After
the eggs OF the female are deposited
and fortified on the bottom in the usu-
al manner the male collects them in
his mouth and elects them into this
frothy recertacle, which he keeps in
constant repair and preserves it's buoy
ancy by additional fatty bubbles until
the young are Matched, which occurs in
two or three days. Another method of
floating the eggs is that of the lophius,
or goosefsh. The eggs, numbering
some $4,000. are inclosed in ribbon.
shaped. gelatinous mass about a foot
wide and forty feet in length, which
floats at the surface until the eggs are
hatched

None Of the boy pupils in attendance
at the Union school in Medina that
particular winter that Professor Well
man was principal had the slightest
idea that he had any romance in his
soul. He hunted for boys to lick; he
gave out double lessons; he scared lit
tie girls half to death with his scowls."
And yet the professor was bubbling
over with soft heartedness and only
waited an opportunity to develop it.
The opportunity came two months aft
er he did, and he was embracing 1t at
the same time that we were calling him
a stony hearted wretch and predicting
that he would never find a woman to
marry him. The professor, being
bachelor, went to board in the family
of Deacon Hardman. The deacon had
been widower for five years and had
at last at the age Of forty-flve married
girl of twenty-three. He was ac-
counted fatherly man and good
man, and it soon became common Cos
sip that his young wife was making
things bad for him. In the school
master she had some one to tell her
troubles to. What he didn't see as an
inmate of the house she would tell him.
When she became confidential he be-
came her champion. She told him Of
the deacon slapping her mouth, and he
shuddered. She told him of being
choked, and he dubbed. She told him
Of being dragged around by the hair of
the head and sat on, and he wanted to
take the husbands life.
According to the young wife, the dea-
con was sly. He would call her his
birdie at the table and half an hour
later chastise her and squeeze her
throat I'm the bedroom. He would sing
hymns with her in the sitting room
and threaten to murder her down GEL
lar. The professor saw nothing, but
heard all. His pity, indignation, SYM
pathy and several other sentiments
were aroused.
One day the deacon had to go over
to Berryville on business that would
detain him two days. He went by
train, leaving the old horse and buggy
at home. That night his wife and the
schoolmaster eloped. Their trunks
| were packed and tied on to the buggy.
and they set out to drive distance

rolled his eyes in misery.

On Saturday and Sunday we saw the
professor about. He looked like man
that had loved and lost. The deacon
got home Sunday night to find that his
wife had gone. and certain folks said
that they hadn't seen him look SO re.

jocular and jolly In his talk. On Mon

That something was about to happen

began with the biggest boy in school
and went down to the smallest girl and
administered to each one a thorough

Then he remarked that school was
dismissed pending the arrival Of a new
teacher, and he headed the procession
as we all walked out. We were glad
at the time. but conscience stricken

Of twenty five miles to the train.
They had scarcely got clear Of the
town when the old horse, which had
no sentiment in his soul and was not
a bit interested in Opponents, fell
down and broke the shaft. Up to this
moment the wife had been as soft as
butter and as tender as chicken. but
now she suddenly changed and called
the professor names. She called him
a doughhead and fool and a lot of
other things that astonished him, but
by and by he repaired the broken shaft
and new start was made.
A mile farther on 1t began to rain.
It was cold rain. It was rain that
meant business. It soaked them to
the skin in ten minutes. Then the
deacon's birdie swore. She swore
cheerfully and freely. The astonished
professor chided her, and she slapped
his mouth. He expressed his belief
that she wasn't the martyr he took her
for, and she slapped it again.
BY and by the rain held up. It will
do that sometimes, no matter whether
you are clipping or out on the road

made. The professor was between two

She welcomed the professor with Ian
guage and kicks. She made a new at
tack on him with fists and fingers. In
fact, he had to haul of and hit her in
the nose in self defense. The professor
crawled up the bank and started back
for the village. If any observations fol-

knew that he was followed for some
