TRUE FISH STORY. Finny Ones So Tame They Are Fed By Hand. At Logan, near the Mull of Gallo- way, there is a most interestinrr' tidal fishpond. A rent in the cliffs facing the Irish Channel admits the salt water through a narrow fissnre, protecting by a rating, into a cular rook basin some '30 feet int ,clist- meter 1011cl'20 feet deep. The cliffs rise high all around. Stone steps descend on one side to a ledge levelled into a footpath at the water's edge. No sooner does the visitor's footfall resound on the stairs than the green water, hither- to motionless and apparently life- less, becomes peopled with large brown fish a,rising from the depths, gliding and dashing about in a state of great excitement. • These are cod, which, caught on lines in the sea, have boon tra.nsf'errecl to this pond to be fattened for the table. TheY are fed daily by bile keeper, and experience has taught them to con- nect the seund of footsteps with their mealtime. •• Formerly a clapper used• to be rung to summon there, butthis was no more *than a trick of the „stage. The footfall on the steno is quite enciugh to' awaken them te activity. Most of the cod, being deepwater fish become totally blind in captiv- ity from excess of light; but they • become so tame and accustomed to their keeper at not only to feed out of his hand, but some el them allow themselves to be lifted out of the water. One may witness the strange • eight of a huge cod, more than four feet long, dangled on the knee like a baby, his ineuth tstuffed.with Mire - eels 'anti limpets, after which he ig returned to the water With a 'mighty splash, On the, table these fieh, thus tended and fed, prove much better than fish brought etraight from the open sea, • • water ; let it ,stand three or four hours, then heat slowly to boiling.

He must say something. - "I am afraid you are a little worse than you think," he begins. "In fact, ib is ,absolutely neeessary that you should go away at once!" But the fellow won't see. He is of the 'hearty, manly type, and is dreadfully slow to takc alarm—es- pecially .about himself. "It would be so inconvenient, doctor.

Every night the palace at whioh King George is sleeping is patreled by night-watchmen, who pass &long ill° corridors throughout the nigh, inspecting doors and windows. These watchmen wear carpet sl1p. peva to deaden the sounds -of thett footfalls, and are specially trained to know exactly what to do in case of fire. In addition to the night pap trol, there is always a sentry or duty outside the chamber in adlieh the King sleeps, King Alfonso of Spain is guarded at night by speoially selected solbo diers, who take charge of the keys of all the palace doors each night, These men pledge themselves that the doors shall not be unlocked utt- 12±1 daybreak, and 100 0116 is allowe4 to enter or leave the palace until the night fs over. The guards sleep outside the royal bedchamber, so that no one may enter during tho night. King Albert of Belgium is &o - other carefully guarded monaroli whom no one may disturb- ono? night has set in. Soldiers patrol the cerriclors of the king's palace, and his special valet locks himself in the king's ante -chamber, which no other person is allowed to enter. The valet is forbidden to open either door until morning undez penalty of death. -- The Czar of Russia, the closest guarded of; any monarch, is protect. ed at night by several eompanies• of soldiers, including Englishmen, members of the secret police, and a body of Ciossacks.

CHRISTMAS APPEA70070)010 lil PEOPLE OF ONTARIO -----\-4 FoR TL Hospital for Sick Childroo Dear Mr, Editor:— It would take more space than you eau spare to tell of the good work done by the Hospital for Sick Chil- dren, Toronto, for the sick and de- formed children of this Province. Let me, in a few words, tell you of the steady growth of this Hospital. In the year 1875 there were only six cote and bade, one nurse, 44 in -patients and 67 out-patients, In 1913 there were 260 cota and beds, 64 nurses, ,1,294 in-patiente and 17,862 out- paDtiuenritnsg, the 37 years et the Hos- pital's existence, 12,370 in -patients have beenmdmitted, ,and 133,724 out- patients -hare been treated, a total sof 153,094, or an average of 4,188 per year. Of the 19,370 in -patients, 5,495 were from places outside of Toronto. 9,644 of the total in -patients were cured, and 5,711 were improved. This Is a great record, Of the 1,294 in -patients last year, 341 came from 218 places outside of Tor- onto, so that the Hospital is not a local, but a Provincial Institution. In the Orthopedic Department In 37 years, nearly 700 boys„and girls have been treated for clubfeet, and about 600 were corrected. Half of these came from plaoes outside of Toronto, so surely we have a fair claim for help from the people of this Province. The Corporation of Toronto grants 425,000, not only for the city children, but towards the maintenance of all patients in the Hobpital, and the citi- zens of Toronto donate an average of $15,000 annually to the funds of the Hospital.
