"That file fish Is asleep," said the attendant. "How do you know." the viritor to the aq iarinm asked. "But I can't bcc h n: hy the wa.." "That's how I know. He, Ilka many other fish, changes color on go ing off. Awake he is mottled with brown and dark olive green, a hand some, sombrely splendid object. Asleep he Is a pallid gray, with dark er wings and tall, a ghost of a file fish, practically Invisible. "Many of the weaker fish, espec ially In the tropics, have this abil ity to change from a bright to a pale, vague hue when they sleep. Thus they sleep safely. Otherwise their slumber would end between a bigger fish's jaws. "A wonderful natural dispensation Isn't it. Suppose you were r crimi nal, being pursued hotly, and when ever you grew tired you could throw yoursef under a tree and doze off, conscious that in your sleep no one could see you?"?New York Sun. No Soft Bed for Him. There is an immensely rich man In New York who never slept on a bed or eiderdown, goose feathers, felt, hair or excelsior. When a "boy. ho slept on a pallet of straw. When a young man his bed was an old-fash ioned shuck mattress in the making of which he assisted to the extent of sorting the shucks. In the army (1861-'65) he was glad to sleep on the ground. Later, as a civil engi ntar, he reposed on a puncheon; and now, rolling in wealth, goes- to bed every night on a trundle bed which he bought from his aged "nigger m?mmy." This affair is not ' over fourteen Inches high, and is corded up with half-inch hemp. There is no mattress, and of course there are no springs. A rag quilt covers the ropes, another covers his body as he sleeps. His health is superb.?New York Press. How the Scarecrow Earns Wages. As he stands in the middle of the flat Suffolk field there is little to show that he Is not the ordinary in animate scarecrow. He stands mo tionless for five minutes at a time, ana only when a bird Is tempted by the fresh corn just appearing above the ground does be show any sign of life. But then It is that the scare scrow moves; he aits an old tin can with the rusty handle of a snovel and frightens the bird3 and makes them fly quickly out of sight. So he spends his day this old bent man and at the end he is paid 18 pence. He is the village scarecrow.?London Daily Mall. Forest Fires. There is one feature which does not always enter into expert esti mates of the world's timber supplies, and that is the terrible prevalence of destructive forest fires which an nually devastate enormous tracts both in the United States and Canada More destruction Is wrought by these terrible outbreaks in a few days, par ticularly In pine and fir forests, than would be brought about by years of legitimate felling.?Timber Trades' Journal. New Ice Machine, An Icemaking machine has been Invented at Grasse, France. The Im portant feature Is a cylinder in which the chemicals are sealed (the latter not requiring renewel and lasting as long as the machine itself), and vhich revolving in water, produces the ice. It can also produce cold An Ink-Tight Joint. If the threads in the rubber con nection of a fountain pen are worn a little the joint will leak enough to soil the fingers. Dry the threads with a blotter and cover them with melted paraffin. Turn the pozzle In to the barrel while the paraffin Is still warm and you have an ink-tight joint. Pleasant Reflection. The Rev. ^William R. Huntington of New York, said recently that it was more dangerous to be a railway brakeman than to be a murderer, I and proved his assertion with sta tistics showing that one murderer in seventy-three was hanged, whereas one brakeman in thirty was killed. The Play and the Cigar. Henry J. Byron, one of the wit tiest of English playwrights of a score of years ago, remarked on one occasion: "A play Is like a cigar. If It's good, everybody wants a box. If it's bad, all the puffing in the world won't make It go.." An Epitaph. Beneath this Btone lies Mary Green, In prime of life she quit this scene; She died the victim of a cough. Too soon, too Boon, she took 'em off. ?Detroit Free Press. Another Problem. Why does the general housework er refuse to wa6h windows on a sun shiny day?

"I didn't tell you, did I, Mildred," said Mr. Cavil to his wife, "that I saw yo'ir sister Jane downtown me day iast nft'el. ?' "No, you dian't, Charles Auguj tus Cavil," replied Mrs. Cavil. "Why dian" you?" i "Well, you see?" I "Yes,, I see. You meet the only sister I have in the world and In stead of coming straight home and telling me about it the same day, as any respectable husband would lave done, you keep the matter secret a whole week and then ask carelessly if you have mentioned the fact that you saw her.' "But, my dear-?" ? "Don s but me, Charles Augustus Cavil. I have ' o doubt that she sent i me r. message bv you, and that you have not only failed to deliver it, but by this time you have iorgott<\~. what it was about. Teil me if this Isn't the case." "My dear, It was this way-" "Don't tell me it was that way, Charles Augustus Cavil. I know ex actly how it was. You simply didn't care a straw vhetber I knew that you bad seen sister Jane or not or you would not have waited a whole week to tell me you had seen her." "But I didn't say I saw her," Mr. Cavil said at length. "Then I'd like to know what you did say, Charles Augustus Cavil." "I asked you If I told you that * saw her," explained Mr. Cavil. "Well, why didn't you tell me?" "The reason I didn't tell you was because I didn't see h?r; that's all." Mrs. Cavil gasped and was speech less. The Deal Pell Through. He had been drinking. That was very evident to the woman 'ho came to the door inanswer to his ring. "Shay," he began after looking up and down the street nervously, "you put advertisement (hie) in paper Bhmornmg?" "I did," she replied. I "You shed you (hie) would give good home to cat."' "Yes; have you a cat you wish to get rid of?" "Besher yer life!" he replied t heartily.

"Thash her?thash olu cat I want to get home for," he whispered. "Shay when" The lady who wanted a feline, however, quickly ilosed and locked the door, while her caller slunk do*n the steps and was led away by the ear. Wall Street Preference. "I don't see why bcocksrdndbonds. insists on going with Miss Goldust,. when he could just as well take up with Miss Gotrox. The '.atter comes from old American stock." "That may be rue," replied Mrs. Gunbusta, smilingly, "but hf prob ably prefers Miss Jolcus' because she tomes from water stock; her ancestors were Baptists, you know." ?Judge.
