THE PARADISE FISH

"We're very popular In the aquarS
ium," said Mr.. Paradise Fish to Mrs.
Paradise Fish.
Eyes, they seem to like u.s. said
Mrs. Paradise Fish.
Sand they say nice things about
us, too" said Mr.. Paradise Fish.
ut is not kind to keep pleasant
thoughts to ones self. Now, of
course, as fish | cannot go about
explaining everything think and feel,
but show what enjoy the best way
l can.
~ show that enjoy my food. I
show that / am a bright fish.
"Oh yes, show what l can so as
to let others know when I am enjoy
ing myself.
"For example they all know that l
will eat anything gold fish will eat
and that my desires III the way of
food are not hard to follow.
"To be sure | do not take little
bites of food. But then why speak

81 never sit at table and so am
not supposed to have table manners.
"And anyway l may take big bites
but I have pretty nice manners.
YES, my aquarium manners are
very good.
II can change my color. From be-
ing a brown fish with handsome
stripes can change into lovely
shades Of red and blue and green.
"Good food, or different kinds Of
food, happiness, excitement, pleasure
will make me turn pretty shade.
"That is why am called para
disc fish, suppose, because Of my
lovely coloring and beauty.
II can breathe the air, too, though
do not climb up out of the water as
the climbing perch does when he is
about to take some air.
"Mr. Climbing Perch's fins are such
that he can climb upon the land.
Mine are not like that.
MY family live In Asia and Africa
and they eat flies and insects while
they live in swampy places.
"Now just because l am beautiful
is no reason why l should not be
healthy.
"And I am healthy fish, too.
II don't see why l should make
everyone fuss over me just because !

cate.
"Ah yes, l think I've told pretty
nearly all about myself as I've been
asked to do. And l must tell about
the little ones, too"
"Of course you must" said Mrs.
Paradise Fish. "And all that you
have said about yourself is true, but
you haven't told about the nest build.

utes will spoil the flavor and longer
will prove harmful and even danger
GUS. A wooden spoon or an agate one
is best, though the agate II tapped on
the side of the kettle is apt to chip Off
and that, too, is unsafe.
Food to be picked loses 1t crispness
If scalded and as that Is the chief
charm Of good pickle it should be
avoided.
Since vinegar and spices and salt are
the important ingredients to use in
picking 1t is wise to choose the best.
Many an otherwise delicious combina-
ton has been ruined by poor or badly
favored vinegar and insipid spices. 1t
pays, even If at greater cost, to buy
standard and reliable article.
For those who like snappy cucum-
Der pickle try these: Into large jar
put cupful of salt, half-cupful each
Of sugar and mustard and a quart Of
vinegar. Drop the well-washed cucum-
bers into the vinegar daily as they are
picked, keeping them covered with the
vinegar. Seal in jars and they will
keep year, crisp and good-flavored.
A bag Of spices and an onion may be
used for variety.
Ripe Cucumber Plckles.-Cut the
ripe cucumbers in halves lengthwise.
Cover with sailed water and heat
gradually, then let stand for an hour
or two. Remove and chill in ice water.
Make sirup by boiling two pounds Of
sugar, one pint of vinegar, two table,
spoonfuls each Of whole cloves and
cinnamon tied in cloth. Add the
cucumbers and cook ten minutes, re-
move the cucumbers to jar and pour
over the boiling hot sirup. Boil the
strip for three successive mornings.

nests and of the way we build them
as being most interesting.
1.-THE aquarium people love the way
we do this"
"Oh yes" said Mr.. Paradise Fish.
II win explain. Il
"Well, first of all l blow bubble
nest at the top of the water and at
tach it to floating plant.
Then you come under the nest and
you put the eggs down and they rise
right into the nest
"And you wear such pretty white
costume when you are looking after
them. guard the eggs carefully, too,
and keep the nest in perfect condi-
ton, but when the little ones are old
enough to swim you have to take
them away from me for may eat
them up in my hunger"
Eyes" said Mrs. Paradise Fish, lit
is so strange that after you have done
everything to protect and care for
the little eggs, and have gone without
food so as to be on constant watch,
that you will then turn around and
eat the ones you have sacrificed so
much for.
"Yes, it is curious"
But then of course we are not per-
feet. Sometimes Paradise Fishes may
be cross with one another and greedy
about their food, even showing their
neighbor away.
"Still on the whole we do pretty
well. Now there is Mr.. Gourami Fish.
He will kill his mate In his excitement
over guarding the eggs
"Oh, I've no complaint to make"
said Mrs. Paradise Fish. ITO me
you're nice fish; yes, very nice fish,

with his whip he forced the mule to

manned cold on the proposition.
"Ah see he amt daid," said Sambo
But he KANT run, an All done wants

Nose, thus challenged, with a vigor-
Gus kick so energized the mule that
away II went, running down the street,
with marvellous speed.
But Sans delight at the activity Of
the mule was short-lived, for bang,
the mule ran head-on into tree.

A Britisher tells story of a mem
Der of the clergy who took too large a
mouthful on one occasion.
He was visiting the county jail and
expiated to friend who was with
him on the virtues of the treadmilI.
Warming up with his theme, he de-
clared that he often wished he had one

friends skepticism, he asked the

declaring that the movement was de-

Ger answered:
