An Anecdote of Agassiz. A tonk of water stood in the dining tent wherein rare and curions fish were placed tor, the professor's leisure ly examination. Among these one day was an uncommon specimen, somewhat like our pike or packfish. It was a foot long, and its mouth was armed with rows of sharp teeth. The profes sor, very near-sighted, was bending close down to examine this, when sud denly the fish struck up and seized him firmly by the nose. Here was a demonstratian of its . unusual charac teristic. This gsh was a treasure. It was now doubly valuable as a museum specimen. The professor was in ec stasy. In the midst of the next meal he was displaying his scars, proud aa a German student, and nothing would do but that he must show us the teeth of the fish. But the fish was gone. "You have just eaten him, sir," the cook explained. The professor's dis appointment was too apparent. He might possibly secure another speci men, but hardly one which would leap out of the tank to seize him by the nose, even if he cares to venture the experiment.-New York Evening Post.

She wandered about the house, up stairs and down, into the garden and back,again, and finally hung about her mother, who was busy just then with the baby.

(Special New York Letter.) J HEBE is nothing in the world . of fashion to indicate hard times. All the great social affairs are being splendidly patronized. The Grand Opera season ti tbe Metropolitan has been a bril liant tsncoess from all points of view. The principal theaters are better at tended than they were twelve months ago. Even the National Cyclo Ex hibition at the Grand Central Palace drew out large ?rowds. If there is any lack of money it is not noticeable among those upon whom suoh func tions depend for their support. Nothing shows this so strikingly ns the toilets of the women, wherever you sea them-at the opera, 01 thea tre, along Fifth avenue, Broadway or Twenty-third street, cr at the more exclusive gatherings in art circles. Speaking of the latter reminds me of the American Water Color Society's exhibition at the Academy of Design. It is the leading event, of the kind hexo during the year, and this spring at tracts more attention than usual be caupo public interest has bean stirred up by recent Eales of costly private oollootions, like that of Marshall O.

Mrs. Gould was exquisitely gowned in a reception toilet or pearl gray moire velour, the entire bodice covered with silver sequins, and wore a small bon net of sequins with three gray tips. Over her arm she carried a flatly little shoulder cape-a combination of black, turquoise blue velvet, and lace. Close behind Mrs. Gould-aud in strong contrast to her-came Miss Mary Mannering, the young and beau tiful new leading woman of the Ly oeum Theatre, who is making a very fine impression here in the theatrical world. Her dress was as simple as Mrs. Gould's was elaborate' and even more striking on account of its sim plicity. She carried the air of early spring in an extremely dapper tailor made gown of a sage green and fawn seeded mixture, with a perfectly plain skirt, flaring prettily at the sides and back.

CASEtffiR OF A NATIONAL BANE. The F?rst National Bank of Hunt ington, lad., has a lady cashier, Mrs. 3arah Frances Dick, and- a lady di rector, Mrs. Fredericka Drover, und is probably the only bank in tho coun try bearing 6iich distinctions. Mrs. Dick is also a directer in the institu tion. Mrs. Dick was .appointed assis tant cashier in 1878. ?ho was then Miss Sarah F. McGrew, and her father was cashier of the bank. Sho served in that capacity until 1881, when the bank was reorganized. Mr. McGrew then became President, and his daugh ter was appointed cashier and was also elected a director. In 187S she was married to Julius Dick, oue^ of the most prominent merchants of Hunt ington. Ever since 1831 Mrs. Dick has been cashier of tho bank," and her work in that capacity ha? bean un questionably accurute and able. The lady received a common school education in the schoohi of this city and afterward took a business course in a college at Daytoa, Ohio, thus fitting her for .work in the bank. Mrs. Dick is qnick and accurate in transactions and an expert at hand ling currency and coin. She writes a very rapid, heavy, bold hand.. The rapidity with which she despatches business has been freely commented upon. Sho has no assistant in tho cashier's work, but with accurate dett ne?s she keeps tho bunk clear of a crowd during the most busy time. She writes the notes, drafts, and deposit certificates, computes interest on col lections, cashes checks, discount papers, etc., with such swiftness that a gentleman was one day moved to keep a record of her transactions. At the olose of the day's business it was found that she handled over $51,000 in small amounts, making over 600 distinct transactions in 3o0 minutes, less lnncb hour, an average ot 35 sec onds for eaoh transaction,and the cash balanced to a c?nt. Mrs. Dick is a tall, handsome and graceful blonde. She en joys her home, which is one of the finest and most luxuriously furnished in the city, and outside of business .hours sue is nearly always found ia her parlors. She is held in the highest regard socially and financially, uni ever since her first work in the bank she has enjoyed the confidence of the public. She was re elected cashier for.another year at the meeting of the bank directors held .a few days ago.

All wood furniture is certainly the safest investment from a hygenic standpoint. lt offers no temptations to moths or germs. It also saves time for the woman who is her own parlor maid. Bnt if upholstered furniture is preferred there are certain points to be considered. Always select a set of furniture as plain in fchape and deco ration as can be designed, so that it may be brought up to date lrom time to time by polishing and recovering. It is profitable to buy tho very best of its kind, both as to frame and padding. Cheap furniture is a bad investment both in all upholstered and plain wood ; in all upholstered because the sprincs and hair give out, and in wood furniture because after a year or J,wo the joints pull loose and have to be mended and glued periodically.

The pill coat serves two purposes; it protects the pill, en abling it to retain all its remedial value, .and it disguises the taste for the palate. Some pill coats are too heavy; they will not dissolve in the stomach, and tho pills they cover pass through the system as harmless as a bread pellet. Other coats are too light, and permit the speedy deterioration of the pill. After 30 years exposure, Ayer's Sugar Coated Pills have been found as effectivo as if just fresh from the labor atory.
