PARIS BY NIGHT. Goldfish Farm.
Police Unable to Stem the Tide of A goldfish farm has been established
at Waldron, Ind. Mr. Shoup could not
make ordinary farming pay, so he went
in for pet stock, and stocked a pond
with goldfish as a pastime. He soon
found that they were multiplying so
quickly as to crowd 'each other out of
their preserves. He put some of his bet-
etr specimens on the market and soon
received a prompt request for more, un-
til he decided that it would be worth
while to devote additional farming
space to his fish. So from a mere pas-
time sprang the largest goldfish indus-
try in the world. From a rough calcu-
lation he has one hundred and fifty
thousand fish.
hooliganism.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Morning. Leader is authority for the fol-
lowing:
In the boulevard de Cliehy two men
had bullets put through them early yes-
terday morning, and close by another
quarrel ended in a man benig stretched
on the pavement with a knife stuck in
Hooliganism is as rampant in Paris
gust now as it was in London on the
south side during the first year of the
Boer war. In both ease the constant
record of fighting in the journals has
been an important contributory cause.
After one in the morning in the
boulevards are infested by the most mur-
derous looking cut-throats. They are
lurking and loitering about for provoca-
tion.In company with a friend who
knows his Paris like a book, I watched
them all dhe way from Montmartre to
the boulevards, and I ant not surprised
to read the daily stories of outrage
which are told in the press with a fre-
quency comparable to the relation of
motorcar calamities.
The local police are powerless, be-
cause they would be marked men if
they intervened too actively. Officers
from other quarters are told off into
favorite districts, and when arrests are
made it is the outside "agents" who
make them.
A few nights ago the entire "Brigade
Mobile," aided by 50 detectives and 4.
"agents" from distant arrondissements,
eomprising a police force of 500, raided
the fortification between Porte de Ber-
cy and the Porte Dore, and arrested 65
hooligans. All had revolvers.
The "battu" was in charge of M. Ham -
rad himself. The police formed com-
panies, and by the aid of repeated light-
ning drove the roa"aoonds in all three -
'time. They were hiding in that ample
•dwelling place, "l'Hotellerie de la Belle
xletoile." They howled and shrieked and
sc.antpered like frightened cats driven by
dogs and ferrets from a barn.
At one place where the "guns" (that
is to say, police in plain clothes) were
waiting, they bagged 37 men and five
women. One honest man was so fright-
ened at the approach of the 500 that he
ran for ell he was worth till he tumbled
down a well, and it was only with great
difficulty that he was reaeued. The fear
of the police, as a Frenelunan puts it, is
not always the beginning of wisdoen.

EXTREME CASES
Stone in the. Kidneys Cannot
Stand Before Dodd's Kidney
Pills.
Mr. S. A. Cassidy, of Ottawa, Per-
o.anently Cured After Years of
Suffering by the Great Canadian
Kidney Remedy.
Ottawa, Ont., Aug. 15.—(Special) —
While all Canada knows that Dodd's
Kidney Pills are the standard remedy
for all Kidney Complaints, it may sur-
prise some people to know they cure
such extreme cases as Stone in the Kid-
neys. Yet that is what they have done
right here in Ottawa.
Mr. S. A. Cassidy, the man cured, is
the well-known proprietor of the Bijou
Hotel, on Metcalf street, and in an in-
terview, he says:
"My friends all know that I have been
a martyr to Stone in the Kidneys for
years. They know that besides consult-
ing the best doctors in the city and try-
ing every medicine 1 could think of, I
was unable to get better.
"Some time ago a friend told me
Dodd's Kidney Pills would cure me. As
a last resort I tried them and they have
.cured me.
"I could not imagine more severe suf-
fering than one endures who has Stone
in the Kidneys, and I feel the greatest
gratitude to Dodd's Kidney Pills."
If the disease is of the kidneys or
from the kiclneys, Dodd's Kidney Pills
will cure it.

Amount of Meat Consumed in England.
A committee of the Royal Statistical
Society of Great Britain has recently
been engaged in investigating the pro-
duction and consumption of meat and
dairy products in that country, and
while they find that there has been in-
creased production, yet it has not been
on a scale proportional with the increase
in population. According to its report,
submitted at a recent meeing of the so-
ciety, the average consumption per head.
in Great Britain was, of meat, 121.8 lbs.;
of milk, 15 gallons; of cheese, 10.5 lbs.,
and of butter, 18.5 lbs.. The amount of
meat included 56.8 lbs. of beef and veal,
27.5 lbs. of mutton and lamb, and 36.S
lbs. of bacon and pork. In addition the
British people consume extensive quan-
tities of poultry, goal!, rabbits, etc,,
which are not included in the above sum-
mary. The average of 15 gallons of milk
does not include separated or skim milk,
both of which are consumed to an ap-
preciable degree, In comparison with the
continental countries, England consumes
much more meat, but considerably less
than One United States and Australia,—

MR, DAVIS A FARMER BOY.
He Has Worked H'ie Way Up to Positions
of High Trust and Honor.
When the next national election is de-
cided Henry G. Davis -will be preparing
to celebrate his 81st birthday.
Born on Nov, 16, 1823, Mr. Davis
has risen from a farm boy, with few ad-
vantages, to be the possessor of a fortune
estimated in the millions. Besides hav-
ing been a United States senator from
West Virginia for two terms, he has held
many positions of .honor.
Mr. Davis who has been one of the
leading spirits in the development of
West Virginia, was born in Woodstock,
Md., on a. farm, as was Alton B. Parker,
and his early education was ,what he
could get in the winter in thcountry
schools in Howard county. Since then
he has built railroads, organized banks,
opened coal mines and has raised his
voice in the councils of those who direct
the course of the government.
Always a Detnocrat, Mr. Davis' public
service began in 1865, when he was elect-
ed to the House of Delegates of West
Virginia. Ile served two terms as State
Senator, and in• 1871 was sent to the
United States Senate. He was re-elected
and might have had a third terra, but he
declined because of his business inter-
ests.
Named frequently for the Governor-
ship of West Virginia, Mr. Davis never
could be prevailed upon to accept the
nomination.
Mr. Davis' wife, whom he married in
1853, was Miss Bate 0. Bentz, of Freder-
ick, Md. They had five children. Mr.
Davis' benefactions are many, especially
in the line of educational institutions. He
recently rested in Elkins a handsome me-
morial to his son, Henry G., jun., who
was drowned eight years ago. When the
wife of his only remaining son, John T.,
presented him with a grandson two years
ago, Mr. Davis made a gift of $100,000
to the youngster.

NEW TRICK ON THE BARKEEPER.
The barkeeper stopped long enough
to fill a "growler," or glass pitcher, with
beer, looked at it suspiciously, and then
swore. 'When his good nature returned
he explained:
"Did you notice how little foam there
was on that pitcher of berr. Well, I
got worked for about twice as much
as we usually sell for a dime. The trick
is very simple. Before those people sent
in that pitcher they drew a ring around
the inside of it with butter or something
of that kind.
"What difference does that snake?
Why, it acts this way: Most of the
growlers we send out of here are about
one-third beer and the rest foam, but
with one of these greased pitchers it is
all the other way.
"When you draw the beer into one of
these the stuff flats very quickly, As
the beer hits that ring it drops down,
It doesn't spoil the beer either. When
the beer is poured into glasses it will
have all the original life in it, just as
if fresh from the leg." --Sun.

Captain of Ocean Liner Finds Little Girl
Guilty of Theft.
Capt. Krech, of the Hamburg - Ameri-
can Line's steamship Graf Waldersee was
called upon during the trip to pass sent-
ence upon a thief caught stealing aboard
the vessel. His manner of conducting
the case and his judgment were com-
mended by all the pasengers.
Several steerage passengers on the
earlier days of the trip frequently miss-
ed food and sweetmeats which they had
taken aboard, and nothing was known
of the culprit, until one day a woman,
going to her bunk, found a little, flaxen -
haired girl busily engaged in emptying
a pot of jam which had been concealed
there. The little one had the jam plas-
tered all over her face and hands, and
in that condition the woman who dis-
covered her led her to the chief stew-
ard. He in turn took her before the
captain on the bridge.
Many of the passengers, seeing the
little girl being dragged crying before
the captain, gathered about to learn the
cause of the trouble. Capt. Krech, who
on his ship, like all other captains, is
judge, jury, and Court of Appeals,
listened to the charges with a stern
look. Besides learning that the little
girl had taken the jam, he also learned
that her father and mother were very
poor and could not provide any sweet-
meats for her. When the case had been
presented Capt. Krech thought over the
evidence for a time, and as the girl was
caught with the evidence all over her
face and hands he pronounced her
guilty.
"This is a very serious case," be said,
"and must be dealt with accordingly.
The penalty of the first offence is im-
prisonment. For the second it is spank-
ing, and for the third it is hanging or
exclusion from America. But the facts
in this case are such that I shall have
to be more severe. I therefore sentence
you to eat the best jam this ship can
produce every time you feel like it. The
jam wil be supplied by the steward."
The little girl could not understand
the meaning of the talk. but when the
steward brought forth a big pot of jam,
as ordered, she gave the captain a pret-
ty little smile she marched off with it.
From that time on her face was never
clean.—N. Y. Times.

A Cat's Remarkable Experience in a
Flywheel.
A remarkable—almost unbelievable—
cat story, says the London Express, is
told by the officials of the corporation
electricity works, telegraphs a Black-
burn corespondent.
A cat living in the power house, they
say, was asleep in the rim of a fly-
wheel when the engines were started,
and for five hours pussy was whirled
round at the rate of sixty miles an hour.
When at length the engine was
stopped, the cat jumped down, staggered
about confusedly for a few seconds, and
then walked quietly to its corner, none
the worse for its extraordinary experi-
ence.
It is suggested that the cat has now
experienced more revolutions than any
recognized South American republic.
