sein ureen, mo cciourntou
American pisciculturist, givm ti
most extruoi'ilin.'iry account of tlio
,'ii'uto reasoning power und infid
lilile memory of wnno trout which
cunio under iiin observation. In a
l)oiid he hail somo 5,000 liiruje
brook (rout which hud been
originally captured by nieiiim of a
tly and barbies liook. The fisher
man who landed them had in-
uviifif t ma fvi flji ut fiu inuilli jtil
gently as possible, and so the
trout mm ample time to examine
the strange tackle which had
played them so false. This experi
ence, according to Mr. Green,
they never in life forgot. To illus
trate and prove his theory be
would accompany a brother pro
fessor in matters piscicultural to
the banks of the pond, carrying
behind his buck a long cane and a
fishinir rod. The trout would fol
low him along on the look-out for
bread or scraps of liver. Sudden
ly he would swing his cane from
behind him and flourish it in the
air. The trout smiled, wagged
their tails, and asked for another
bit of bread. But when a
moment later he took the rod with
the reel arid tackle from its con
cealment, a way the trout fled to the
furthest end of the pond, where
they remained huddled up for the
rest of tlio day. They were care
ful trout, those of Mr. Green's.
A Fingorless Family.
In a Lincolnshire village live a
family who suffer under the cur
ious deformity of being fingerless.
This peculiarity does not appear
to be one of those freaks of Nature
which mav appear in one individ
ual, and not bo transmitted to the
next generation. So far as can
be learned, the singularity has ex
isted in this family so far as
history or tradition extends, and
there seems at present no signs of
its dying out, as the grandchildren
are as devoid of fingers as their
grandsire. The hands of this re
markablo family present the ap
pearance of having had the lingers
amputated, or chopped off rough
, ly and unevenly below the second
Hoint. leaving a short stump.
There is no nail or hard substance,
run nuio it nub iui mcauscuicovi
! iy thing like a cicatrice, a casual
? jserver would conclude tnat tne
efect was due to accident; but aa
jougii lMiuire iiau aiieuipteu iu
jmpensate for the absence of
ngers, the thumbs are sbnormal
t large and strong. The family
re in other respcts fully endowed
f nature, and do not appear to
iffer the disadvantages the ab
4nce of fingers might be expected
$ entail. One of the daughters,
tred twenty, can write, sew, knit,
jutl is in ever' way as dexterous
nd accomplished as other girls of
ner age and station. When asked
i if kIih did not find it awkward to be
hngerless, sue replied; "jNo: 11
yon had never had fingers, you
would not know you needed
them." The only drawback that
seems to be occasioned is the cur
iosity of the absence of fingers
evokes from strangers.
A MISTAKE.
6'ne was a fuir und cultured tnnld
With violets iu her turban.
She lived uml funned it Drowning Clu
Within a tiiwn subnmn.
And went with ivirulurlty
To Bofton, for tlio Symphony.
She. had ii lover, but, uliis!
He was n (ray, hold drummer,
Who had no pinion for the ninao
Iti winter or in suiiwier.
He laughed to worn tliu Drowning Club
And in derision held the Hub.
As for the concerts Symphony,
He said they made him weary;
Better he liked n inlnstrci troupe
With entertainments cheery.
And to the opera comlque
Went always irnyly once n week.
The two were wed one hapless day,
Tlio maiden nnthlmr daunted,
Hut soon she Van to pine and fade
Ily folk uncultured haunted,
He, too, dropped like n flower at fall,
From to much music classical.
"Woe's me!" at length she wildly cried,
"Our souls blend not together."
"True, true," with bitterness he slKhod,
"Life Is all stormy went In r
To one with wife whoso soul is dark
To all, save poetry and Much."
Next day he tied to the Wild West:
In hurry and distraction.
The wnrwhoop of the Indians
Mliht serve aK a reliction;
She .ioined a set which dwelt apart
And nothing knew but Just hk?li art.
Oh, Boston maids of cultured tustes.
To smile on drummers Jolly
With years attuned to vulu-ar strains,
Is most ejri-eious folly.
Dark must his social record be.
Who slums the concert Symphony.

A Canary Captured by a Spider.
The strength of some of the
spiders which" build their webs in
trees and other places in and
around Santa Ana, Central
America, is astonishing. One of
them had in captivity in a tree
there not long ago a wild canary.
The ends of the' wings, the tail,
and feet of the bird were bound
together by some sticky substance,
to which were attached the
threads oi tne gpiucr, wnicu wus
slowly but surely drawing up the
bird bv an ingenious puuey ar
rangement. 1 he bird hung head
downward and was so securely
bound with little threads that it
' could not struggle.and would have
boou been a prey to iU great, ugly
ifitlmdnot been rescued
' by an onlooker.
The growth of ivy on the walls
of houses renders the Avails entire
ly free from damp; the ivy ex
tracting every particle of moisture
from wood, brick or stone for its
own sustenance, by means of its
tiny roots, which work their way
,t tlm riawlpst. stone. The
even iui.'
' overlapping leaves of the ivy con
' duct water falling on them from
point to point until it reaches the
ground, without allowing the walls
to receive any moisture whatever
from the beating rains.

But your house must be awful

PUSS IN BOOTS.
They nearly strike me dumb,
I tremble when they eomo

This i alpitatlou means
These hoots mi' (ierahlfue't;
Think of that!
Where ilid a hunter win
So delicate a skin
Vor her feet?
Ton lucky little kid, ,
You perished, so you did,
I l or my sweet.
The fairy stitching (fleams.
On the sides and in the seams,
And reveals
That the Pixies were the wags,
Who tipt these funny tags.
And these heels.
What soles to charm an elfl
Had Crusoe, sick or self,
Chanced to view
One printed ncur the tide.
Oh, how hard ho would have tried
For the two.
For Gerry's debonair,
And Innocent and fair
As a rose;
She's an angel! in a frock,
Sne'san angel! with nclocc
To her hose.
The simpletons who squeeze
Their pretty toes to pleuto
Mandarins,
Would positively flinch
Fnom venturing to pinch
Geraldine's.
Cinderella's lefts and righui
To Gcrahllnc weve frights.
And I trow
The damsel deftly shod.
Had dutlfullr trod
Until now.
Come, Gerry, since It suits
Such a pretty puss (In boots) .
These to don.
Set your clulnty hands awhile
On my shoulder, dear, and I'll
Put them on.

A Ten Stdiy Clubhouse.
Think of it! a club house tea
stories high. This is what the
Iroquois Club of Chicago proposes
building on the comer of Adams
street and Michigan avenue. The
second floor is to contain the prin
cipal rooms of the club, the third
floor will be a large reception room
for use on formal occasions; the
fourth and fifth floors will be fur
nished into rooms for the members,
the sixth floor will contain a large
ball room, eitrhth and ninth floors
the dining rooms, and servants
will occupy the tenth floor. This
is the most ambitious effort in
the way of a clubhouse that has
as yet been projected.
People Who Barely "Wink.
There are people who rarely
wink. How they manage to got
along without doing so is a mar
vel, out somehow or other they do.
Some eyes are naturally more
moist than others, and the very
moist eye does not so much need
the assistance of the lids to keep
the eyeball brighr. It is a consti
tutional matter, for winking
though under tl control of the,
will, is done so quickly that it is
practically an involuntary action.
Men wink when tliey feel that the
eve is uncomfortably dry, and
when it docs not become dry the
necessity for winking is not felt.
The Moon.
The moon is a fossil world, an
ancient cinder, a ruined habita
tion. The moon was once the
seat of all the varied and intense
r.etivitips that now characterize
tlifi surface of our earth. Its life
age was, perhaps, reached while
the earth was yet glowing.
