Dollar Fish,

''Have you any dollar Ash hereT' a woman asked of one of the attendants at the aquarium.
 While the question may seem curl ous, 1t was really very simple, for the dollar fish is only young moon6sh.
 The moonfish is a curious but beau tiful creature, almost round in shape and extremely thin and having the lOveliest of pearly sides. It swims on edge, so that 1t always presents its sides of pearl to view. It takes Ita name from its shape and because further, in color it suggests the silvery moon.
 Young moonflsh of the size of q standard silver dollaE-and they arc 1Scarcely any thicker-are called dollar fishes because of their resemblance to that coin in size and shape and color, and the woman making the inquiry about dollar fishes was duly informed that there was none in the tanks at the present time, but that they did have them occasionally. - New York Sum.

An Expensive Dollar.


 Not long ago in this town & kind friend of the family gave one of the kids dollar. Of course 1t was too much to let the kid get out and spend for candy and gum, so 1t was reIi- giously put up on the sideboard or some other safe place to be kept-1ust for what the deponent saith not. In about a week the juvenile owner of the big round coin remarked at the breakfast table, Papa, mamma spent my dollar yesterday" The head of the house took the hint and HShed up another dollar, which, like it's prede- cessor, was placed in a good safe place to keep.
 During the next month by a careful Iy tabulated record which he kept on his cuff he repaid this elusive dollar just thirteen times. So at the end of the month you will not be surprised to learn that our friend sent the donor of the original dollar this curt note:
 Dear Sir-Inclosed yoo will find . check for d. It's the dollar you gave our youngster. I return 1t simply to avoid bankruptcy. Already 1t has cost mo some where between fifteen and twenty.

Three Sabbaths Each Week In TanaIor.
 Morocco is a country of many Sab baths. The first three days I spent fin Tangier were all Sabbaths. Arriving on Thursday night, the next day was Friday, the Mohammedan Sabbath, which was followed by the Jewish Sabbath-the Hebrew element in Tan gier is considerable and strict in re- Nglous observance-and that in turn by the Christian Sunday. Subsequent comparison, however, revealed little difference between any days of the week. On the Mohammedan Sabbath q black nag is hoIsted on the minarets at the prayer of dawn, instead of the white dag toat announces the time of devotions on other days. It remains mp until the middle of the forenoon, by which time everybody is supposed to have found out what day 1t iS.- New York Post.

Clever Thouaht.

When a certain country storekeeper, who was also the postmaster of the borough, began the transaction of busi. ness one morning about year ago ha found that the safe In which were kept the postage stamps had been robbed during the night and promptly reported the matter to the proper authorities. The latter decided, after an investiga. ton, that restitution should be made for the stolen stamps, but that the ex. pense of repairing the damage to the safe would have to be borne by the gtorekeeper. which was accordingly done.
 Some time later a second robbery was committed and reported. as before, as the result of which there was am other investigation, which disclosed the fact that the stamps had been ab- 6eracted on this occasion without any violence to the safe.
 "But how was 1t done?" asked the inspector, somewhat puzzled. '"The safe does not seem to be injured at all."
