SAVAGE FISh.

Psral Have Been Known to Tsar an Alligator to Piecss. The most savage and bloodthirsty fish in all the waters of the earth are the perai, declares Charles Uvingston Bull in "Under the Roof of the Jungle." They are from twelve to fourteen inches in length and look not un like the northern bass, although more powerfully built. They have been known to attack lyi alligator, discover a rent in the skin of the great reptile and tear and devour him until noth

ing but his bones and rough skin was left. The perai are silvery green in color. Their thick, muscular jaws are armed with rows of teeth like those of a crosscut saw, sharp and triangular and fitting exactly together. These jaws and teeth are most formidable, being able to cut to pieces anything less hard than the shell of a tortoise. The lower lobe of the tall is longer than the upper one and all the fins short, giving the impression, as do the thick, rounded body and head, of great strength. It la fortunate that in all the length and breadth of northern South America these rapacious little murderers are found only in widely scattered localities. Thus one pool will harbor a 'great school of them, while for miles in either direction up or down the same stream there may not be another individual. .". Were it not for this peculiar localisation the jungles would be nearly stripped of animal life, for beasts and birds and reptiles must drink, and, while those of a few species can get all the water they need from the dew on the leaves in the morning, by far the greater number must come to the streams and pools. Kven creatures like that master fisherman, the otter, roust give the perai a wide berth, and no other fish can Inhabit the same waters. They have been known to leap a foot out of water and bite a piece out of a man's hand as he was stooping to dip up a drink.

The Child, Father of the Man. Thejate Thomas B. Heed when a lad was requested to bail out a small boat that had been leaking badly and wns almost full of water. "I can't do it," replied Tom. "It's unconstitutional." "What do you mean?" Inquired the owner of the boat. "Tho constitution of the United, States says," replied the future statesman, "that 'excessive bail shall not be required" of any man." Youth's Companion.

We cannot restore degenerated facial tissue any more than we can restore a lost limb. It is useless to attempt to convert a worn-out complexion into a new one. The rational procedure is to remove the complexion

instead remove the devitalized cuti

cle. Not by surgical means, however, as the underlying cutis is too thin, too tender, to withstand immediate exposure. Applying ordinary mercolized wax will gradually absorb the offending cuticle. By degrees, a new, youth-' ful skin appears; a skin soft and delicately tinted as a rose petal. No lady need hesitate to try this. Procure an ounce of mercolized wax of the druggist. Spread on a thin layer before retiring, removing this in the morning with soap and water. In from one to two weeks the complexion is completely transformed. An approved treatment for wrinkles is provided by dissolving an ounce of powdered saxolite in a half-pint witch hazel. Bathing the face in the solution brings prompt results. Dr. Rupert Mackenzie In Popular Medicine.

What Sho Wanted. They had been married but two months, and they loved each other devotedly. He was" in the back yard blacking his shoes. "Jack." she called at the top of her voice, "Jack, come here, quick!" He knew at once that she was in imminent danger. He grasped a stick and rushed up two flights of stairs to the rescue. He entered the room breathlessly and found her looking out of the window. "Look," said she "that's the kind of gown I want you to get me." Harper's Magazine.

Tho Eyes of tho Japanese. . A Japanese friend of mine once saw among my papers a picture of an Englishwoman dressed in Japanese clothing. "She is no Japanese," he said. "She is European." "How do you know that?" I asked him. "Her costume is correct; her hair is straight; she has no ornaments." "Yes," he replied, "but look at her eyes. Her eyes Jook out on the world as'thougtr she understood it.. The Japanese woman never looks like that." From "England Through Yellow Spectacles."

t. Light of tho Firefly. Professor Mcintosh says that a temperature approaching 2,000 degrees F. would be necessary to make a light equivalent to that emitted by an ordinary firefly. The enormous waste of energy in all industrial methods of

producing light is a matter of com

mon knowledge, and the example of the firefly remains unimitated by man. Argonaut.

ARTIFICIAL PERFUMES. It Is a Wise Flower That Knows Its Own Scent. There are few perfumes today that cannot be made from chemicals, synthetically, as the chemists call it. Formerly all perfumes were extracted from flowers, fruits, spices, woods or other vegetable and animal substances. The first perfume to be imitated was vanilla. In 1876. Hellotroplne followed, being obtained by oxidation of a byproduct of camphor. Terplnol is one of the most freely used constituents of perfumes. This is a near relation of turpentine. With this, a little oil and aqua fortis a chemist can produce a perfume that can scarcely be distinguished from those exhaled by the lily of the valley, lilac and jasmine, varying according to the proportions In which the chemicals are blended. Artificial violet is a combination of :ItroI an essence extracted from lemon), Indian vervaine or lemon verbena with common acetone, a substance very like pyroligneous acid. No chemist has been able to counterfeit musk, but a synthetic perfume called musk is made from toluene, a byproduct of benzine and coal tar. 1'his is changed to a complex carburet, treated with azotic and sulphuric acids, is diluted and sold as musk. Most of the cheap perfumes are imitations, and they are almost always inferior to the flower extracts. So it might properly be said that it is a wise flower that knows its own perfume.

The Storthing. Norway's legislative body is known1 as the storthing, which means the "great court" and should be pronounced to rime with "courting. The second part of the word is Identical with the English word "thing." as the Scandinavian languages, in common with Anglo-Saxon, have the same word for "thing" and "council." In modern English a trace of the second sense survives in the word "hustings." which came to mean the public platform upon which a candidate appeared at election time, though originally the ,"husting" was the council at which the candidate was elected, the "house thing" or house council.
