u r'V r: : t ' V .'' i : V V I a. : ': ! WHENCE FISHES COLORS COME. Vta,y They Are the ynt llvcnratlve Anlmula In This Worhl. "There are 1 .ts of f nnn v thing to I told about tish scalo," said u naturalist i tho other day to a writer for tho Wash- ington Star. "The surface f the scales 1 ordinarily is covered with a thin, silver coating, which derives its lirilliant me- ; tallic luster from the pn'wiur of many j crystals ifimpon'il of lime and a sub stance known as 'guanin. Thi coat- j ing is easily rubld off, and in one sort of European carp, called tho "bleak, the crystals are so numerous that a me tallic pigment is derived from then, known iu the arts a 'argentine.' which is used U impart luster to the glass globules sold under the name of -Roman pearls.' When the silver coating is ab sent the scales of a fish are lnsterless and transparent, as in the case of the smelt, the uMoiuinal cavity of which, however, has a brilliant, silvery lining composed of the same substance. Kvery one knows from observation that thefishesof the world an- the most gorgeous of animals in point of color ing. The colors they exhibit are often due to a simple arrangement of pig ment cells, but the brilliant and change able hues, which constitute the great est leauty of these creatures, are de rived from two causes very wide apart. An illustration of one of these may Ik observed in the scales of the herring, shad or mackerel. Wing a true irides cence, similar to that seen in the pearl, and due to the refraction of the rays of light ns they glance off the surfaces of the thin plates of which the st ales are composed. More frequently, however, the coloration is dependent on the ar rangement of the pigment cells that are in the lower layers of the outer skin of the fish. In a tish. when the black pigment predominates, the color is somber, as in the adult taiitog. A slight admixture .if vellow gives the bronze-like hue to the cel. and a little more of the same, if you please, results in the brighter preen of the black bass and the blue iish. lied pigments intermixed with black give the dingy brown of the carp and some of the cattishes. When the yellow and red outnuiulsr the black cells there result the tawny colors of the suntishes. the casks and of some varieties of the cod. Red pigment cells in the lower strata of the outer skin alone cause the brilliant scarlet of the red snapper and the losctisb. and when these arc interspersed with black the deeper colors of the mangrove snapper and the ruddy variety of the sea raven result. When the pigment cells gather into separate groups according to color, bands, stripes, spots and shadings, infi nite in their variety, arc found. "In fish, as iu other animals, albinocs occur. Very curious an- the albino haddocks occasionally taken on our coasts. The same phenomenon is also observed in flounders, carp and eels. In the depths of the sea. where light is scanty, many tihes appear to remain permanently albim cs. I'ishos very commonly change their colors t hariuonie with the lott mison which they live, for the sake of conceal ment. This is accomplished by the special secretion of the projicr pig ment. Mn certain leilgcs Mlotitf the New Kngland shore the rocks are cov ered with dense growths of scarlet and crimson seaweed, and the fishes which frequent their neighlsirhood In-come tinted accordingly. It has Wen sug gested, by the way. that the pink of the salmon's flesh is due to the absorption of the coloring matter of the crusta ceans they feed upon. I'robahly the brilliant coloration of many kinds of fishes is designed by nature to attract the opposite sex. as the Wauty of a peacock's tail is intended for the same purpose. Fear or other emotions will often change the colors of tishes rap idly. "It is in tropical seas that the most brilliantly colored and Wantiful fishes of the world are to W found. Warmth and light are favorable to brilliancy and variety of lines always. The fishes of the polar regions and those living at considerable depth are usually som ber, ami when you get down to the lark abysses of the ocean they are all black." WOMEN IN JAPAN. the I'hlladelphlu (.limkrrrin Krcrivr the Treatment llrre I-crilrl T Like the Chinese, and iu fact everv - other Asiatic race, the Japanese enter tain no respect for women, whom they repard as creatures of inferior intclli ffence, rcM-mblinff brutes in lcintf. without a sou!. Thus it is almost im possible to brinp any tint raveled Jap anese to comprehend the deference which the men of civilized nations pay to women. The latter, in his eyes, are solely fitted to act as the servants nay, even as the slaves of the stronper sex. Seldom. If ever, is the wife permitted to sit at table with her husband, no matter how hiph her rank may be, ami when admitted in his presence she is forced by etiquette to approach in the same manner as the domestics, namely, on all fours, with repeated prstrations. Imafrine a young- and delicately nurtured American pirl, such as. for in stance, the fair Quakeress of Philadel phia, who has alwoys Wen accustomed to the most thorough deference and courtesy, thrown for the first time among1 a set of men such as the nntrav eled friends of her Japanese husband men who are devoid of every feelinp, not alone of civilized respect for her sex, but even of the most elementary notions of civilized doeency. Anybody who has lived amonp the Japanese, as I have, writes a New York Tribune cor respondent not as mere tourist under the tutelage of an interpreter, but in direct contact and understanding; their language will War me out when I as sert that it is impossible for a white woman to live among the natives in Japan without having every feeling of womanly respect aud delicacy out raged and. in course of time, complete ly blunted. KITerf of ITi.le. An ancient and distinguished individ ual writes: "I owe my wealth and ele vation to the neglect with which I used to W treated by the proud. It was a real Wnctit, though not so intended. It awakened a zeal which did its duty, and was crowned with" success. I deter mined, if this neglect was owing to my w ant of learning, I would be studious and acquire it. I determined, if it was owing to my poverty, I would accumu late property, if extreme vigilance, in dustry, prudence and self-denial would do.it (which will not always). I de termined, if it was owing to my man ners, I would W more circumspect. I was anxious, also, to show those who had so treated mo that I was undeserv ing such coldness. I was also wanrted hy a desire that the proud should see me on a level with, or elevated aWve, themselves. And I w as resolveL aWve all things, never to lose the cousolation of Wing conscious of not dcK.-viny the hauteur which they displaved to me " N. Y. Ledger. The still of Been. A curious observation made by Dr. Terc. an Austrian physician, formed the subject of a paper read some time ago at a meeting of the French Knto mological Society. He asserts that a person stung by Wes is for a time ex empt from the effect of further sting ing, and is protected in the same sense that vaccination gives immunity with regard to small pox. This protection lasts for v months or less, according to the niimWr of stings received. To lel I Hade. - JJtt I Kfc-r 4 ri fc.ivii-w . I"-,- r- ssa 'Tl Ti if I ;!J0B:: PRINTING.

AfU-r a wN-k or U-n days th tVver with which I had been afflioUtl abaUnl fcomewhat, saya a writer in Forest aul Stream, and IVter, taking my doubW tmrrvled rifle by way of armament anl half a dozen hard biscuit by way f cF-mK travr notice of two daya absence. and, buckling his blanket about him, went off np the traiL Late in the evening of the second day, while I was lyinjr on the bearskin with fiwiinmin? brain aud fevered brow, he came back, but not alone. Two strong1, athletic squaws, each totinjj a larpe pack, were his companions. He intro duced them as "tld IMackbird squaw and her pal; pooty young squaw great medicine. The elder of the two was about as touph. leathery-look inp a upecnnen of aboriginal ugliness as I have ever fallen in with, and making due allow ance for difference in age the daughter was the perfect model of her. They both cast their loads unceremoniously aside, and the elder proceeded at once to business. Watching me closely as she did so. she rolled a larpe handful of leaves in her hand until they were par tially pulverized, then passed them over to the younger squaw, who soon made a pint of vcrv bitter tea from them which I was told to drink. I managed to gulp it down, hot and bitter aM it was, and the? old squaw then seized me without ceremony, packed me snugly in bearskin and blankets, after which she and her daughter, wrapping their own blankets about them, lay down on either side of me, crowding me in a manner more close than pleasant. My leathery liclles answered to help get up a copious perspiration, which was just what they intended; and when I awoke from the first sound, refresh ing sleep I had enjoyed for weeks it was with a cool, clear head and limbs free from pain. With the rise of the sun the confound ed ague began to threaten me; and Mrs. Hlnckbird. with the help of her interest ing daughter, proceeded to take meas ures for expelling it in a manner quite as novel ami original as her treatment of fever. First, she undid a bundle of dirty-blue cloth, and bok therefrom sev eral bundles of neatly bound, minute twigs. I had heard some hard stories of whippin out the ager," and smelled a pretty extensive mice immediately: but. on the whole, concluded to go through, so I suffered them to divest me of my clothing and seize me firmly by the wrists: and I uiade no objection even when Mrs. 1 thick bird began to ap ply the switches gcutly to the bare skin. I'radually the blows increased in rapidity and severity; old Peter, who had stood by as spectator at first. stepp-d forward and seized a wrist firmly in each hand so suddenly that I had no time to object, and the whipping immediately hvaiw energetic and gen eral. Kaeh of the squaws, with a switch in each hand, vied with the other in rapidity of hitting; and as the sluggish, torpid 11h1 strove to dash with answering spe"d through the tingling veins the pain became unen durable. I had resolved to liear all that was asked f me in hopes of a radical cure, but the torture was too severe: and I rdered them to desist, trying at the same time to wrench myself lnse from lVter. They only laughed, and laid on the harder. I lecame mad with pain, and I went in on my muscle, biting and butting furiously at old Peter, and giving the leathery females ungallaut kicks alxut the rilo and aldomen a proceeding that made them laugh all the more, and brought down the switches with in creased vigor. I entreated ami cursed by turns, tried brilery and flattery, Wgged for a resting spell, and threat ened death to the party of conspirators immediately 1 got loose, but all in vain. They flogged me for a time that seemed an age. and only let me off when I was too exhausted to stand alone. Then I was again enveloped in skins and blankets, when, strange as it may seem. I almost immediately fell into a deep slumlK-r. from which I did not awake until evening. When 1 did awake it was with a general sense of soreness all over the outer man. but where was the ague? Hone. Completely cured, as well as the fever. THE SAMOVAR. Why the Itulan Trskrttle 1 So Mark Si rrior to Ours. A samovar, the distinctively Russian utensil for heating water to make tea, when in brass or nicklc. of small size, but large enough for family use, costs sixteen dollars. In Russia the samovar is as common a household utensil as i our teakettle. The superiority of the samovar over our teakettle is due to the greater rapidity with which water is heated in it. says the New York Trib une. A little brand of charcoal is started in the section in the center designated for this purpose, and the water around it is .heated tnncli more rapidly than it can be in the teakettle, exposed to the fire only at the lottom: but if the mistress of the house could see that the teakettle is freshly filled, and would use the water at the moment it Imils, as delicious tea could le made with a teakettle as with a samovar. The Russian lady, it must be remem liered. does not intrust the important part of the tea making, the boiling of the water, to a servant. She has this done le fore her in a samovar, and thus ensures the perfection of her tea. She is, therefore, not called upon to wast words and patience with a domestic, who in answer to your inquiries as to "whether the kettle is" boiling. invari ably replies: lt have boiled." As though water that had once been lniled was, therefore, fit for tea making, even if it has Wen reduced to lukewarm temperature since! No amount of in struction will ever eradicate from the mind of the average servant the idea that water that has boiled is therefore fit for tea; unci that you are over-fastidious to require that it shall be boiling at the time the tea is made, and that it should not have, been boiled before GATHERED FROM COMMERCE.

A Goad Btory AUnut Three "Naaaeieea Jue Ucea vt the I'ostea. A pood story In told by the New York Sun of the adventure of three polioe Justices and detective employed by one of the weu ') whoe ojwratin are intended to brace up the law. It aeema that shortly before the holiday wamm bep-an a man who had been tctive In politics for many yeavra ditxf, leaving hia family almost wholly un provided for. II is home had been hand somely f urnlahed. and the widow, com pelled to mors into more economical quarters, determined to sell the heavier articles of furniture. Three memWrs of the board of jolice justieen took a band in the hale. Among other devices for helping their friend's) widow was a raffle for her frrand piano. The jus tices organized the friendly enterprise, promoted the sale of tickets and when a num representing the value of several such pianos had iwen gathered in, they kuperintended the drawing. This took place one evening in a Har lem fetore. That was where the detect- ; ive came in, though some people are j bold enough to say that it was t'om ! stock him.self. At all events the i guardian of morality, whatever his j name, thought he saw a chance for a ! grand coup, anil accordingly descended J upon the storw, made his way through . the interested crowd, and formally ar rested the three justices for conducting a lottery. The detective might have been a martyr to his real if blank won lerment hail not paralyzed the spec tators and before indignation could as sert itself the justices had mastered the situation. A police justice is author ized to hold court at any place and time that occasion may require. The de tective had forgotten this, but the three justices hadn't, and one of them having mounted a table, opened court and sum moned his colleagues to the bar to plead to the charge laid against them. Then the spectators lx-guii to see fun in the episode, and when they laughed ; the detective nervously tried to pass the j proceedings off as a joke that is, the : trial part. He insisted on the arrest, i and the justice on the bench (table) in- 1 sisted that he should swear in his evi dence. Tli is done, the prisoners made their defense, and the presiding justice promptly discharged them. Then he potdowu. another justice climln-d upon the table and reopened court, called the case of the justice who had lately been presi.liug, heard evidence and defense, and discharged the prisoner. Then the drawiug for the widow's piano was re sumed. TWO OLD INDIAN DEEDS.

American life is too often a tragedy which ends with the Midden death of the most prominent actors. The caper, anxious, restless life the hot, hard, desperate pursuit of wealth and fame is killing our people liefore their time A (Treat statesman falls in the midst f his usefulness; a popular ien eral dies in his prime; a leading mer chant falls dead in his store. These are no nurses tales to frighten children. They are the occurrences of our daily life. They should make us pause. Call upon a man of business, and he is too busy to attend to you. lie (fives you his ear, but his mind is far away. In the mad strutfjrle for wealth, instead of dointf the work of one man we vainly try to do the work of three. 'e seareely take time to eat or sleep. Hence the softening of the brain and other mental diseases which are so com mon in this country. This was not always the case. A penc-ration since our people live4 their full time. Astor was a great merchant, but he lived until he was eighty-four. Clay was a r-.-":tt statesman, and he lived until he Vu. seventy-six.

DANGEROUS GROUND Aa laaeeare Feealatlmi t'poa Whira tai llaild a City. "San Salvador is all on a volcano."" said Senor Jose Fulano, of Pasolibre. to a Chicago Tribune man at tli Crand I'aciflc tho other day. "It has been three times destroyed by earthquakes, but the people pet used to it and do not seem to mind it- It comes at intervals, and. really, while it makes one excessive ly nervous, there is little danger to life. I have known the shocks to come as fre quently a eijrhty times in an hour. The effects are quite peculiar. In the city of Salvador is a brick column nine feet hiph and three feet square. That was shoved some one hundred feet with out losing its perpendicularity or cracking- the mortar. "The pround under the city of Sal vador is full of caverns of unknown depth. A man was dipping a well there. The last stroke he pave w ith his pick the bottom fell out, and he and his pick and all fell throuph nobody knows where; to China probably. There is a volcano not far from Salvador that sonic years apo discharged lava over a forest. The wood all burned, of course, but the lava beinp lipht and easily oooled hard ened Into fonjr arcades throuph w hich one may walk, and as you go you ran see the imprint of the trunks and branches of the trees in the now cooled lava." - & TAKE FOR r RHEUMATISM it COLT.
