They Never Die a Natural Death, Says
an Observant Fisherman,
-Fish never die a natural death," said
an old fishermen who has observed as he
fished. "If they did bodies of dead fish
would be .floating oil the .surface of the
water. about all the while, because smell
'bodies if unmolested would have to float.
"I mean, of course, fish in nature never
die a natural death, not fish in captivity.
And perhaps it should not be called nat-
ural death that fish in captivity die.
Their environment induces mortality
that fish in their native habitat would
escape, and these causes night be pro-
perly classed as among the accidents
that carry the captive fish off.
"If fish in their native element were
never molested 1 believe they would
never die . If they had sufficient food,
which would be impossible if they no
longer preyed on one another, they
would be no reason for their dying. It
was to prevent :tuck uninterrupted ten-
ure of life that all fish were made fierce-
ly predatory, if not remorselessly canni-
balistic, as many kinds are.
"A fish's life is a constantly strenuous
one, and one entirely selfish. A fish lives
only to eat and to avoid being eaten."

The Parish Minister and His Beadle.
"John," said a homely old parish min-
ister to his beadle as he was being as-
sisted into the gown by that indispensa-
ble functionary in the vestry one Sab-
bath morning before entering the pul-
pit, "I don't know how I'm to get
through with the service this morning.
I have come away from the manse and
forgot my snuff-box." "Guidsake, sir,
that's a peety," said John, with a deep
sympathy •in his voice; "losh, bide a
minute till I see gin I canna get as
muckle's pit ye owre till the afternoon,"
and- John disappeared, returning a few
minutes With a curious •compound in a
piece of brown paper, Which he carried
in his hand. "Where did you get this?"
said the minister, eyeing the paper sus-
piciously, yet snuffing up a large pinch
with a sigh of intense satisfaction. "Oo,
I just got it," said John, evading the
question. "But who gave you it? Where
did you get it, John?" "Weel, sir," re-
turned the beadle, sturdily, "1 jilt scrap -
it off the flair o' the pulpit" and he
marched into the church with the Bi-
ble, thus cutting short any rebuke that
night have been administered, and com-
pelling the minister to follow at Ms
heels, as the custom was.

How the Trick Was Turned.
For several years it was the custom
of Cornell Widow Boards to one.
downtown every Sunday morning and
breakfast together. The widow's
breakfast table attained an enviable
position among college affairs. Grad-
ually, however, the breakfasts became
dinners in all except name. The uni-
versity witnessed the strange sight
of a body of care -free students "break-
fasting" at eight o'clock of an even-
ing But the gentlemen of the uni-
versity have always looked with un -
censuring eyes upon the little vag-
aries and peculiarities of the widow-
ers. At the old breakfasts, after the
members of the Board had consumed
large quantities of meat, and has
washed everything down with many
a flagon of the finest malmonsie,
they would set themselves to the pro-
duction of a widow.
Light conversation upon the exist=
ing good or evil of the day would
bounce from Hp to Hp, and back to
lip again. And many a goodly jest
would unthinkingly slip out during
the course of the conversation. The
light conversation and the goodly jest
would be duly noted by the editor-
in-chief, who would distribute them,
then and there, to different members
of the Board, with orders to turn in
their write-up before the end of the
breakfast. The artists seldom wait-
ed for subjects to be assigned to
them, but would illustrate jokes which
had caught their fancy with a knife,
fork, or pencil, upon the table cloth.
The table cloth would be saved until
the following day, when copies would
be made of their sketches. In this
wad* many of the early issues of the
paper were produced: As it grew,
however, these methods sank into
oblivion before the march of system
It is to be feared that our present
issues have lost much of the dash
and brilliancy of the early issues, ow-
ing to the fact that the size of, the
paper „has been more than doubled,
while the size of the Board remains
the same.—Froin "Humorous College

Booth and Rosebery.
Speaking at Birmingham on the Stb
inst., in connection with the opening of
a new Salvation Army Jione for work-
ing men, General Booth said a short
time ago he had an interview with Lord.
Rosebery, who received him rather
stiffly. He observed that a large num-
ber of leading men were a little stiff
when he (the General) first entered
their rooms—he supposed they were
afraid he was going to pray for them.
(Laughter.) His lordship became ex-
ceedingly friendly, and asked him many
questions as to the character of the
people the Salvation Army emigrated.
He (the General) said that he could not
guarantee that every pian they sent
had never had a glass too much or had
never told a fib or was born with a lik-
ing for work. He added, "You would
have to go to the House of Lords for
that class of men." (Laughter.) His
lordship nearly jumped off his seat and
said, "They are all archangels there."
Don't be afraid to take a chance for
fear it may belong to some one else.

WINDMILL SIGNALLING.
Valt.able for Military Purposes, the
Dutch •Government Has Discovered.
To the casual observer viewing a
Dutch landscape there is nothing- to ar-
rest the attention in the fact that pos-
sibly one or more out of a dozen wind-
mills in sight are to all appearances sim-
ply standing idle, while the others con-
tinue their never ending task.
If one watches the sails of the idle
mills closely it may perhaps be noticed
that they move slightly from time to
time and then remain for a while at a
different angle. If this is so the miller
isoin all probability engaged in holding
a conversation with tlae proprietor of
the other mill, which may be miles away,
in fact, possibly barely visible on the hor-
izon.
Quite recently the Dutch Government
carried on a series of experiments in or-
der to ascertain the value of windmill
signalling for military purposes, and
were surprised to find that communica-
tion could readily be established with far
distant centres and that confidential
messages could be sent on from one mill
to another and so forwarded throughout
the length and breadth of Holland in an
incredibly short time by means of secret
codes known only to the millers them-
selves.
These codes have been handed down
from generation to generation and jeal-
ously guarded from outsiders with all
the intense conservatism for which the
provincial Dutch are proverbial. Apart,
however, from these secret codes, under-
stood only by the millers and local
groups of mill owners, there exists a
series of windmill signals with which
every one of the inhabitants of the coun-
try districts is familiar.
At times, for instance, a mill may stop
working suddenly and the miller be seen
to come out and with the aid of a long
pole with an iron hook at the end, like
a gigantic boathook, reach up and drag
down the descending sail until the arms
assume a certain position. Every one
knows immediately that some accident
has happened to the wooden machinery
of the mill, and that the services of the
local carpenter are required.—From the
Windsor Magazine.
