Many at llie 4<|iini-liitii in New Vurk City I'liat Will I'nUv Fond from tlie Hnnil, Probably no angler would think of the weakfish, for instance, as one that could lie induced to take food from the hand; but the weakfish at the New York aquarium will eat 111 this manner, says the Sun. That lightning-quick fish, the mack- ' erel, and others of its quick-moving' j family, can likewise lie brought to 1 take food from llie hand, though they do not come up and pause and ' take, the food deliberately from the 1 fingers. They seize it out of the fin- [ gers as they flash past; doing this, however, of a deliberate purpose, so that it may be said of them, too, that they will take food from the hand. In fact, there is hardly a fish which comes to the aquarium that will not lake food in Ibis way after being there six mouths or more. The fishes that will take food thus in clude not only the common, famil iar kinds, but the strangely-shaped and the bright-colored varieties from llie tropics. 1 They are, indeed, so ready to do this that the man who feeds them has to look sharp and see that they don't bite his fingers. There are here plenty of fishes, and some of them not so very big, either, with j teeth sharp enough and jaws power ful enough to enable them to bite to the bone. At the same time there are plenty nf the fishes here that don't nip and catch in that way, but eat with more deliberation, and there are plenty of them that are up at the top of the water waiting for the man that feeds t hem when he comes along, or that come to the top to meet him the instant lit- raises the screen over their tank. Here's the orange filefish, from lo cal waters, an odd, curious-looking fish, which comes up to the top and feeds from the hand with absolute confidence. Its small, curious mouth when open presents a round orifice not much more than big enough to take in a lead pencil. It takes its food by suction. The orange filefish conies up for the shrimp held out for il and mum bles around it without any hurry at all until it gets it just right and then sets its suction going and takes it in. And it takes in this way shrimp after shrimp. A little further along there comes to the surface for his daily treat of killies a big portly trigger fish, from Her mud a. A veteran —this old chap has been here since 181)7. And it comes up now at feeding time regular ly and waits wit its nose right at the fop of the ter, and rolls its eye at you as it waits.

THERE .SHOULD BE MORE READING ALOUD IN HOME AND LIBRARY AND SCHOOL. The much-edited literature with its critical notes is often so handled as to produce disgust. If the publishers only appreciated how many children in our schools have been compelled to learn the lives of the authors and where they graduated and what they wrote, be fore they have been allowed to laugh over Ichabod Crane 01 eniov Snowbound, I believe they would omit the preface on the authors in their admirable masterpieces of British and American literature. For inducing a love for literature such preparation is as absurd as it would be to send a young man to study th» family records as a means of getting him to fall in love with the daughter of the house."l liked Ivanhoe after 1 got into it,"says the boy.

If he falls in love with that, he can be trusted togo back lo the stupid preface. lie down, puts it, in fact, right into the fish's mouth. And the old chap stays there and takes the killies as they are handed down. At another tank further along you get a glimpse of the brilliant blue of the angel fish, fairly shining through the wire grating over its tank. And this wonderful and beautiful fish is fluttering around now, near the topi of the water, waiting to be fed, and 1 is going to take the food from the • tigers. It comes always up into the same corner, where it is daily fed, and is just as tame as can be; but ; for all its beauty and its tnmeness 'the angel fish is one of those whose teeth must be looked out for. ! Next you come to the tank of the |squirrel fishes, most graceful as to j I shape, bright red in color and with) black eyes. And these beautiful lit tle fishes take food from the hand most frecly. And next to the squirrel fishes is J the odd, queer-shaped and curiously- | marked and good-humored and | friendly shiny boxfish, which not j only takes from the fingers the food \ belli down to it, but seems glad to j take it in that way: nn<l tuomu, in . deed, to find a pleasure in its daily j meeting with the man that brings it. I The fishes enumerated are only a | few of many in the aquarium that I will take food as here described; but j the casual observer who should see these would be likely togo away I with new ideas as to the intelligence of fishes. Venoxueln*n Caoutchouc Forest*. The continually increasing demand for india-rubber, and the great inter est manifested in all efforts to prevent waste of the trees from which rub ber is derived, have led our consuls in countries where these trees grow to collect many valuable facts concern- [ ing them. Consul Goldschmidt, at j La fJuaira, recently transmitted to Washington some highly interesting statements about the rubber, or caoutchouc trees of the upper Orino co by Dr. Lueien Morisse, who has made extensive personal investiga tions in that region. Dr. Morisse makes the somewhat surprising state ment that the prohibition of the Ven ezuelan government against the fell ing of the trees is altogether unnec essary, because "it relates to an im mense forest measuring upward of 74,000,000 acres, when caoutchouc ex ists in abundance, and which it would require millions and millions of hands to exploit, whereas it only contains 3,000 or 4,000 Indians, not more than the tenth part of whom are engaged in the work."—Washington Star.

FACTS ABOUT GAPES. Tfireo Excellent Way* of Preventing linnjerr from Infection n IMI Some (tellable Curcu. The gape worm that matures in the windpipe of the chick, causing the disease, is developed from a parasite, and like other germ diseases is easier prevented than cured; and can be prevented if the chick is not permit ted to come in contact with the para site. Now there are three ways to prevent this danger of infection. First is to hatch your chickens very early, so they will be feathered before the ground gets warm enough to in cubate the gape worm microbe. The second way is, keep your chicks where it is perfectly dry all the t'ime, as it takes moisture as well as warmth to develop the parasite. As you cannot raise chicks without warmth, says the writer in National Stockman, you must prevent moisture, or you surely will have gapes if your yards are in fested. The third, and better way, is to raise your chicks each year in a new place. I suggest a rotation as fol lows: Begin on the east side of your orchard, next year move your coops and brooders to the west side, the I third year move to the south, and the fourth year to the north side. By that time the east side will be purified, so ' there will not be much danger, and you can continue this rotation with ! perfect safety. To cure gapes in the | first stages of the disease, just assoos j as you can bear the first sniffle, slack | a lump of lime sufficient to make >i ' pint when powdered, mix with it a teaspoonful of carbolic acid, put the j mixture in a 25-pound flour sack and j shake, drop chick in sack immediate j ly, and let remain just as long as pos- I sible without suffocating, which it j will do in a short time if you do not give fresh air. Repeat once or twice j j until the chick sneezes up the gape j I worms. The chick inhaling the car- ! j bolated lime dust will loosen the ! ; worms so it can sneeze them out if you use the remedy while the chick j is strong enough to Hftand the treat- j j ment. But if you neglect the chick un- j j til it becomes weak, and the windpipe | j is filled with the worms, you will have J ' to remove them; and the best way to j do it is to take a feather and strip it j except about one inch of the tip; I | make a five per cent, solution of car- j bolic acid, clip tip of feather in I solution and swab the windpipe of the j j chick; you will likely kill some of j ! them, but as they would die or be j I stunted so they would be worthless | if you do not treat them, it will, per haps, pay you if your time is not too | valuable.

In spite of the fact that this practice is known to save the lives of a goodly percentage of the flock every year where it is practiced, it is so much easier to feed corn than togo to the trouble of mix ing up this feed every night that, on thousands of farms, the hens soon get ! to expecting just corn three times a day. Yet the owners should remem- j ber that it means some dead fowls in the spring when digestive systems of the fowls will have been exhausted by the constant tax of grinding grain.—• I Farmer#' lie view. » MAKES THE HAIR FLUFFY. Scalp Hasmiijc Pruim Kurorwlnl and I'opular with the Society AVoucn ol Netv Vorki The new method of making 1 tlie hair fluffy, and, what is yet more im portant, manageable—namely, by massage—is gaining eonverts daily at New York. The straightest and stiff est locks may, by this method, be come graceful. All that is needed is willing and active finger tips, which, onee a day at least, and, if possible, oftener, will lightly knead the scalp at the tem ples and forehead until the hair is in that state of fluff admired by all but possessed naturally, alas, by few. There is really no art nor mystery about the process. .Moreover, any one can do it for herself. The result is just the same as that onee supposed to be attainable only from shampooing, but it is much more satisfactory. For days after a shampooing the hair is unmanage i able; massage makes it but the more j manageable. Shampooing, too, must i not be indulged in often. A daily | massage of the scalp edges, where the hair is liable to become thin, is beneficial in the highest degree to j the health of the hair and of the ! skin. , When you see a woman nowadays j whose otherwise straight hair fluffs not artificially but becomingly about her face in a way to recall the French saying that "The ugliest wo j man may be made beautiful if she j but know how to comb her hair," you | may know that such a woman is in dulging in daily scalp massage. New SjMcm of Kiilhlliic. The postal savings bank building in Amsterdam, Holland, is being con structed by the "Monier system," a new method of construction, says Youth's Companion. A steel frame work, like a bird cage in appearance, is enveloped in Portland cement, which prevents the steel from rust ing, while the cement itself is ren dered elastic. The steel acts entirely in tension, and the concrete in pres sure. This construction is said to be strong, fireproof and waterproof, and to be growing in favor in Europe for government buildings and fac tories. Tea I'lant 111 India.

' CAPITOL BUILDING, SALEM, OREGON. A Letter From the Executive Ofllee of Oregon. Pe-ru-na is known from the Atlan tic to the Pacific. Letters of con gratulation and commendation testi fying to the morits of Pe-ru-na as a catarrh remedy are pouring in from every State in the Union. Dr. Hart man is receiving hundreds of such letters daily. All classes write these letters, from the highest to the lowest. The outdoor laborer, the indoor artisan, the clerk, the editor, the statesman, the preacher—all agree that Pe-ru-na is the catarrh remedy of the age. The stage and rostrum, recognizing catarrh as their great est enemy, are especially enthusias tic in their praise and testimony. Any man who wishes perfect health must be entirely free from catarrh. Catarrh is well-nigh uni versal; almost omnipresent. Pe-ru na is the only absolute safeguard known. A cold is the beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds, to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of its victims. Pe-ru-na not only cures ca tarrh, but prevents. Every house hold should be supplied with this great remedy for coughs, colds and so forth. The Governor of Oregon is an ardent admirer of Pe-ru-na.
