I. Wood- man now has as petsin his whale and shark tanks two huge anglers or fishing frog-, 1 13 | A number of fishermen who go out on } weighing from seventy-five to ninety pounds; one exceptionally perfect speci- men ot*the deep-sea skate, measuring about four feet from tip to t.p of iis wing- like fins; three large deep sea eels or sirens (conger eels the fishermen call them), ‘a smail stargeon, a dogfish four feet long and hall a dozen sea ravens, small and large. @ There would now be three anglers had the fishermen tempered enthusiasm with discretion. The third one is now presum- ably in the fish heaven. He lived more than a week, showing hardy some fish forms are, for everything was done to disgust him with life. He was hooked on the fishing banks and hauled to the surface handover hand. ‘Then some- body jammed a boathook deep into his head between his eves and landed him. On arriving at the Battery the martyr fish- ing frog was jabbed again with the boat- hook, which a tan then put over his shoulder, with the unhappy mouster dang]l- ing at the end. The hole in his head was as big round as a half dollar, yet he tried how pluckily to live it down, and only turned up his ventral fin after ten days. rhe two biggest sea ravens also had a bitier experience. When they were hook- ed the enthusiastic amateur scientists put them into a pailthan was too small for them, and conseqnentiy when they were put into the tank they remained bent like- bows for several miserable hours. Now straightened out and as full of The other specimens they are original sin as ever, fared better after Prof. Woodman had gently hinted that fish were not made of boiler iron. The anglers are naturally the most in- of the lot to landlubbers, both on account of their habits and their hideous appearance. The angler is a pollywog monstrously magnified, with see-weed trimmings, The two specimens in the aquarium are excep- tionally _ perfect. The sea-weed-like fringe along their jaws is uninjured and they possess the full complement of long tentacles onthe heard and back. These they erect and wave gently in the water to attiact small fish who think the deceitful things are sometbing good to eat, The Coxey armies would have another cause for grievance against things in gen- eralif they could see those two arglers. They lie still with their chasms of mouths haif open aud the foolish killies, with which the tank is well supplied, swim right in. The angler does the rest. His mouth reaches clean to his tail, which is also curious, being exactly like a big, muscular hand. The skate doesn’t like the angler at all. When he was hove into the whale pool he swam around madly on the surface, flap ping his wings like a turkey buzzard and turning up his eyes in disgust. His insuit- ingly human-like face was twisted into an expression of hauteur embarrassing to wit- ness. He is st.ll discontented, The conger eels, horrible basilisk-like They teresting fish | them, for their venomous shape scares even the blundering dog-fish, who, when- ever they approach him, darts off in an “Excuse me a minute” fashion and pre- tends to be very hungry fer killies, This isa palpable mockery, for he couldn't catch vue in a thousaud, except by acci- dent. It is interesting, however, to see hira hunt them, for he drives them exactly like ahound drives a rabbit. The sturgeon doesn’t pay any attention to these doings. He swims around gracefully, the Beau Brummel of the aquarium. The sea ravens ~-those wonderful, weird, grotesque crea- tures which can make themselves look like toadfish or sea robins or hackleheads, but preferably imitate rocks or seaweed—don't swim around much, because each raven has found some particular rock or clump of weeds which he now simniates wonder- folly. The biggest one lies behind some brown bladderweed, which he reseinbles so closely that many peovle have failed to dis- tinguish the fish from the weed until after long inspection. Another lies beside a weed-covered rock, aud on Friday the writer could barely discover him. Besides these fish there is a simple but most interesting collection in one of the big wall tauks. It comprises a rmagnifi- cent glowing red sea anemone, half a dozen bengalis, a score of tom cods, several three- spined stickiebacks, half a dozen hackle- heads (the thorny-headed scalpin, striped white and black iike a zebra), about twenty sea horses, some shrimp, several crabs and lobsters and aschool of the com- mon killies. —New York World. Jim Root. John Hay’s verses reciting the heroism of Jim Bludso, who held the nozzle of his burning ship agin the bank till the last galoot was ashore, immortalized an imag- inary hero, but the story of Engineer Root’s race for the lives of his passengers on the relief train sent out from St. Paul to rescue the people fleeing from the forest fires in Minnesota is from real life. The dispatches have told the graphic story of how the fire | came in every window of his cab, and three times his clothes were ablaze. Had | he abandoned the throttle of his engine, | hundreds of lives would have been sacri- | ficed, but he stood at his post urging his engive on and saving his passengers.

The genuine untouched Virginian of to- day has often been declared to be the most cowpiete survival of Eighteenth Century | England now in existence. There are cer- tain Eighteenth Century ecnstoms and phrases and manners in common use there that have not been heard of in a hundred years in England. One of the quaintest is acustom of the road which died out in England when the post road and the travel- ing chariot went out of vogue. In those days it was considered »slmost an affront for one traveling in a carriage to drive past another going the saine way. The traveling class was made up generally of the rich and leisurely, and as they bowled along in their coaches to have an- other coach dash by and give back its dust and perhaps incite the coachman to a rage was considered highly indecorous, To “take ones dust” was a common expres- sion of contempt. The custom was not without its uses in its day But will it be believed that at the close of the Nineteenth Century this etiquette of the road is rigid- ly maintained, and that among well-bred people each equipage has to take the gait of the slowest? True it is, some iconoclasts and outsiders drive past their fellow-travelers without compunection, but they, therefore, prove their claims to be called iconoclasts and outsiders, When it is a very pressing ease, an apology is called out such as, **Pray, excuse me, but my horse is rest- less,” or *‘I am in haste to catch the boat,” or something of the kind. But to drive ruthlessly ahead without a word of-apol- ogy is considered the acme of ill- breeding. The roads in this part of the world are not interesting, except for their natural beauty, us the people of wealth, following their English ancestors in practice, sought a proud seclusion for their houses, Only the poorest people built their homes on the main road, travel from one end of this fair ec and one may untry to the ote: not find a single haudsome residence on the public highway. There was a er and very practical reason for abjuriug this Every man’s house was man, pablic highway. at the service of every child in the county. An Arab hospitality woman and obtained and was enjoyed to the fall. The people who had undesirable homes were always willing to bestow their ae upon their more for tunate neighbors, so that it wouldn’t do to be too convenient to the main arteries of travel. Especially was this 80 when a visit from a family meant the entertaining of two coach horses, a coachman and a maid, for the negroes went visiting with the white people aud enjoyed it just as much, Hospitality was one of their great virtues and is still, for these people excel in social virtues, and this particnlar virtue costs little. It only meant the killing of a half dozen or more chickens for dinner, when there were hundreds, perhaps, scratching about in the poultry yard; and the gardens were overgrown with vegetables, for which there was neither sale nor consumption. There were icehouses full of ice and meadows full of cows, and ice cream was manufac- tured in a big tin bucket, turned about in a keg of ice and salt. It took two women and a boy to make ice cream, but it took that many to do everything. The icehouses are among the most pic- turesque features in the landscape here, A great mound of earth, thirty or forty feet high, was thrown up around a place that was bricked up and looked like a gigantic well. This was finished at the top by acircular roof. The sides of the mound were graded and turfed, and made nice places for boys and girls to roll down when the short, slippery grass was wet,— Philadelphia Press. Seven Years Without a ‘Birthday. A Seottish clergyman who died thirty years ago—Mr. Leishman, of Kinross— used to tell that he once lived seven years wivbout a birthday. The statement puz- zied most who heard it. They could see that if he had been born on the 29th of February he would have no birthday ex- cept in a leap year. But leap year comes onze in four years, aud this accounts for a gap of three yearsold. ‘Their first thought would, therefore, naturaily be that the old man, who, in fact, was fond of a barm- less jest, was somehow jesting about the seven, There was, however, no joke or trick in his assertion. At the present time there can be very few. if there be any, who have this tale to tell of themselves, for one who can tell it must have been born on the 29th day of February at least ninety eight years ago Put a similar line of missing dates is now goon to return; and, Indeed, there are, no doubt, sume readers who will one Lirthday to celebrate for uearly twen have only ty years lo come, lhe solution of the puzzle is to be found in the fact, which does not a} ur to Le widely known, that the year 1800 was a leap year, and 1900 will notbe 1 February of 1892 had twenty-nir but in all the seven years tery tween 1896 and 1904, as well as three between 1892 and 1896, that nu will Lave only twenty-eight.—Pittsburg Di spatch, Brief and right Prove rba, Big words won't spli Where fathers flee m: it Tails ers fight.
