more, in continuous daily stages Of
twenty-four miles, with only five min

charged with being in the unlawful

The appearance Of the prisoner GER

Fish and Funuus,

Every one knows that fishes of al.
most every sort are, when fresh
caught, slippery and hard to hold.
This slpperiness is due to sort of
mucus exuded through the scales and
is of the greatest importance to all
Shiny creatures. One of the important
functions of the fish's Shiny coating is
to protect it from the attacks of fun
gus. form Of plant life found in all
waters. If the fish is so injured that
some spot becomes uncovered by the
slime, barely visible fungus will be
likely to lodge there, and when 1t is
once lodged the process Of reproduc-
ton is very rapid. 1t soon extends
over the gills and kills the fish. The
primary cause of the slime of the
fish Is to reduce its friction when in
motion through the water and there
by increase its rate of speed. 1t also
serves as a cushion to the scales.
which 1t protects from injury.

low:
A poor woman carrying basket of
apples was met by three boys, the first
of whom bought half of what she had
and then gave her back ten; the second
boy bought third of what remained
and gave her back two, and the third
bought half Of what she now had left
and returned her one, after which she
found that she had twelve apples re-
naming. What number had she at
first?
The answer is simple enough. From
the twelve apples remaining deduct
one, and eleven is the number she sold
the last boy, which was half of all she
had; her number at that time, there
fore, was twenty-five. From twenty
two deduct two, and the remaining
twenty was two-thirds of her prior
stock, which was therefore thirty.
From thirty deduct ten, and the re-
mainder of twenty is half of her orig
inal stock; consequently she had at
first forty apples. See?-St Louis Re-
