OWNER PROUD OF GOLDFISH
Seventeen Years Old Is "Old Black
joe" and Does Almost Every
thing but Speak.

Old Black Joe is a goldfish. He's
never been sick a day in II years.
He is neither gray nor bald, and he
can swim and nibble with the best Of
them.
This information was supplied by
0. Gneiding, an exhibitor at the
goldfish show at the Aquarium, New
York. Gneiding owns Joe, and no
father was ever more proud of his
youthful prodigy than Gneiding is
of Joe. Joe, according to its owner,
does everything but speak, and he
does the equivalent of that if you
place yourself in sympathetic har-
mony with him if you know what
that means.
But Joe was not the whole show.
There were lion-headed fish, comet
fish and telescope fish. Long lines
of spectators surrounded the tanks.
The exhibition was held under the
auspices of the Aquarium society of
New York to stimulate interest in
the breeding of goldfish.

USE FOR RIBBON DECORATIONS.

News from Vienna has it that the
rapid decline and fall of the Austro-
Hungarian monarchy has caused a
slump on the ribbon market. Manu-
facturers of ribbons of the various
orders of the former dual monarchy
found themselves with large stocks
left on their hands, until one enter
prising merchant hit upon the idea
of turning these gaudy bands into
mems trouser suspenders.
And so the gilded youth of Vienna
are wearing the ribbon of Maria
Theresa of the Iron Crown or st.
Stephen that way, according to indi-
vidual fancy.
"Why not" they say. Gin Eng
land they have the ribbon of the gar
ter. In our democratic country, we
wear the ribbon of the suspender."

Seed
Potatoes
from
Canada

This week we receive a ship
ment of white potatoes imported
from Canada that we believe will
make splendid seed potato. Past
experiences with wheat from that
country demonstrated to us that
the earliest varieties come from
there and why would not potatoes
make an early variety for us?
This ID a white potato, good
and sound, smooth and, from ap-
pearances, appeals to us very
much. We will be glad to have
you try small amount of these
for seed this year as an expert
ment.
A few years ago we took a
chance on Marquis wheat. 1t
proved success and has given
us a variety that is profitable to
grow. Likely a new potato can
be developed from this lot we
have that will be as profitable to
the potato line as the Marquis
was to the wheat line.

HAIR WIGGLEs LIKE SNAKE
Strand From Horse's Tail Can Be
Made Real Enough to Suit the
Average Small Boy.

John Burroughs in one OF his
"Notes on Nature" stated in sub
stance that hair from horses tail
placed in water would not turn to a
snake, and that if a snake appeared
in the water it had not developed
from the horses hair.
Evidently Mr.. Burroughs, when
he was young, missed one of the
common and interesting experiments
of country boys. It's worth. trying.
A white china washbowl is desir-
able to make the test with, as the
black hair will show plainly against
the white background.
Have the one who takes care of
black-tailed horse pull or cut hair
from the tail. Fill the bowl with
water. Rainwater it seems, we were
told to use, but water from the city
pipes may produce the same result.
Place the bowl in an unoccupled
room. Put the horse hair in the wa
ter. In few days the hair will wig
gle around quite like snake, but
will not increase in size.
What causes the hair to move was
puzzle that was not solved. As the
hair seemed ifelike, the experiment
was considered success and was not
prolonged, which was well, as the
final result probably would have
been disannnintino

didate's public record the other. To
illustrate, it would not do for the San
Francisco convention to pussyfoot on
prohibition, or woman suffrage, or
public ownership and operation of
public utilities, and then make Mr..
Bryan its candidate. His record on

Whatever 1t may declare as to them

It would have been most apprOpri-
ate had Clemenceau been accorded the

rests in the premier, rather than In

some degree the diplomacy that has

Prohibition Now Effective.

In several large centcrs in this coun-
try last night the last hours of the
liquor traffic. banned by the federal
amendment at midnight, were spent
entation over the passing of intoxi-
cants. Some of the scenes enacted IN
these places partook of the nature OF
orgies. An immense amount of money
was spent, enough probably in all the
United States to have endowed great
university. There is no means of eal-
culating the amount of liquor cop-
sumed. The spirit of this demonstra-
ton was one of disapproval of the
prohibition amendment, now in eff
feet.
Those favorable to prohibition will,
perhaps, rejoice in the consumption
in the last hours of a large part of
the now positively limited store of
intoxieants. Every one of these
has lowered the level in the reservoir.
Now that prohibition has gone fully
into effect, even with the possibility
of postponing court action, it is to be
expected that it will be observed hon
estly by the majority of the people.
The government has set up machinery
of enforcement. Doubtless there will
be some violation in both the manu-
facture and the sale of liquor. There
will be some "bootlegging," but the
manufacture and sale of illicit liquor
have been greatly handicapped by the
recent deaths from wool alcohol poi
soning. Public faith in "contraband"
has been greatly shaken. Almost any
form of intoxicants offered surrepti-
tiously for sale is properly under sus-
picion
Only assuredly "pedigreed" intoxi-
cants will find unquestioning con-
sumers under the new conditions, and
the effect cannot fail to make for a
more prompt acceptance of the new
condition and the abandonment Of
stimulants by the great majority of
those heretofore addicted to their use.
Those who have accumulated private
stock will continue to use and dis
pense it in social hospitality, but these
are few in comparison. Prohibition,
in truth, is certain to become steadily
more and more effectively observed,
especially as its benefcent results
make themselves manifest.

Reginald De Koven.

While Reginald De Koven did not
rise to the height of great musical
creation in the sense of the masters
of melody and harmony, he neverthe
less materially advanced the prestige
of America in the musical world. His
operas were the result of thorough
training and careful. workmanship. at
times with signs of inspiration. He
certainly gave the people of this coun-
try some of the most delightful
"tunes" they have ever known. As
often happens with an artistic pro-
ducer, he never quite paralieled his
first great success in "Robin Hood"
Indeed, few composers in the field of
operetta have ever been so successful
as was De Koven with that Offering
1t ran for years and is today a favor
ite. Its successors, some of them
equally meritorious in some respects,
did not achieve the popularity that
that delightful creation scored. "Robin
Hoods" fame, however, was enhanced
by an altogether remarkable musical
organization in it's production.
De Koven was exceptionally fortunate
in that respect. His death has come
at dramatic moment. He had Just
completed an opera, the first produc-
ton of which had scored success
that suggested the possibility of its
rivaling "Robin Hood" for popular
ity. Grip Van Winkle," his last work,
may prove, after all, his best.
