The Care Of Goldfish.

The secret of success in caring for
goldfish is to keep the water they are
in fresh and sweet. Their globe should
be emptied and it's water renewed as
often as every second day. Lift each
fish out gently in tslassful Of water,
empty the globe. wash it out, then put
in fresh water and put the fish back
again. Clear, sweet rainwater should
be used, and its temperature should be
raised to Is or 80 degrees by warming
a part Of it. Sparkling well water Is
too cold for the fish to thrive in and
too pure, for the animalculae Of rain
water form an important part Of the
food Of these fish. They need no other
sustenance than a very few bread
crumbs sprinkled in their water daily,
for overlooking will kill them very

NUMBER OF PERSONS
SUSTAIN INJURIES
Wall Crashes Into Classroom
at Minnesota "U."

Minneapolis, Feb. 26.-Professor
James E. Moore was painfully hurt,
six students were slightly injured and
most of the thirty-six members of the
Junior class in medicine at the state
university bruised and cut when por-
ton of the wall left standing by the
fire in Willard hall last Christmas eve
weakened in the strong wind and
crashed through the temporary roof
over the third floor of the right wing
into the classroom.
The injured men were pinned be-
meath a mass of Wreckage when the
crash came without warning. With
the air filled with powdered plaster
and flying brick and splinters panic
resulted and the men struggled and
fought for a chance to get out of the
room. When once clear of the build
ing and convinced that the rest of the
building was not going to collapse
they rushed back and franticaly dug
out their imprisoned classmates.
Mr.. Moore was. taken from the de-
bris unconscious, with several painful
cuts on the head, and whisked to the
university hospital in his own auto
mobile.
Since the fire on Christmas eve,
which practically Quilted Millard hall,
the university has been cramped for
space. In order to accommodate the
medical students temporary roof of
inch-thick boards and tar paper was
built over the third floor of the right
wing and the room fitted up as lee.
ture room. A portion Of the. unsup.
ported wall six feet high, fifteen feet
long and eight inches thick, towering
above this temporary roof, became
1oosened by the strong wind, weak
ened, swayed and, after drop of
fifty feet, crashed through the TEN.
porary roof, which offered little more
resistance than so much paper, and
dropped on the heads of the men in
the classroom.

A Sly Dog.

The late DR.. James Freeman Clarke
used to tell this story Of his dog:
cat one time my dog was fond Of
going to the railway station to see the
people, and always ordered him to
go home, fearing he would be hurt ky
the cars. He easily understood that II
he went there It was contrary to ny
wishes. So whenever he was near the
station If he saw me coming he woull
look the other way and pretend not to
know me. If he met me anywhere else
he always bounded to meet me with
great delight. But at the station It
was quite different. He would pay no
attention to my whistle or my cali.
He even pretended to be another dog
and would look me right in the face
without apparently recognizing me-.
He gave me the cut direct in the most
impertinent manner, the reason evi-
IDENTIFY being that he knew he was
doing what was wrong and did not
like to he found out. Possibly he may
have relied little on my nearsighted-
ness in his maneuver."

Professor Blackie's Opinion.

A correspondent sends an anecdote
concerning the attempt of serious
minded lady to lure Professor Blackie
into giving his opinion of Sankey's
hymns at a time when they had an
enormous vogue. The lady was giving
the professor lunch, and he tried to
fob her off by praising Stilton cheese
on the table. Some time after the lady
sent him copy Of Sankey and a piece
of the cheese, hoping thus to draw
him. She succeeded to the extent of
these four lines Of verse:
Thrice blessed is she that hath done what
she could
To make a lean man fat and a bad man
good
For the body, cheese: for the soul, San
key:
For both, thankee.

The Broken Bottle SYMBOL.


The breaking Of a bottle over the
bow of vessel at launching seems to
be taken by many people as having a
convivial, a sort of here's-looking-at-
you significance, but nothing Of the
kind Is meant; neither has it any asso-
citation with Christian baptism, for
the name of a man-of-war is given
months before the launc hing. The real
thing typified is sacrifice. Building
town or setting ship afloat was SOL
emn matter away back in the dim past,
and such an act was not to be under
taken without devoting life to pro-
pitiate the gods. Our refined and hu-
name civilization no longer dares to
offer up prisoner or a slave on such
occasions, and therefore a bottle is
broken to symbolic the taking Of a

GUN FIGHT IN RAILROAD YARDS
New York Central Detectives Shoot

New York Central Railroad detectives
and mem bers of a gang known as the
Forty Thieves" engaged in q lively re-
volver battle in the freight yards, at Both
street and Twelfth avenue. early yesterday
morning. The detectives shot one man. but
he got away They arrested another, who
said ne was Matthew Reilly.
The sleuths found the crowd robhing a
freight car. they say. and chased the men,
who opened fire upon them. They drew
their guns and then followed a fusillade
which woke up nearly every resident IN
the neighborhood. The chase extended over
tracks and around freight cars for some
distance before Reilly was caught. The
railroad men discovered blood prints, which
showed that one of the fleeing men had
been shot.
In a wagon near the yards the detectives
found several barrels of brass filings which,
they aIlege, were removed from freight
car. The wagon, the police say. was taken
from a stable at No. 81 Chambers street,
where Reilly is employed. When Magis-
trate Kernochan heard the story in the
West Side police court later. he held the
prisoner in 5000 bail for examination on
