A Father Fish "Who Hatchcn HI. i loue I " Slouth. j In the Nile there is a. singular ii-h that has been known from early Bible , times. It is dedicated to the Apostle Simon or Peter, is Known as Tilapia ' slinonls and is especially common in Palestine and the mmi or lake of Tibe rius. Nearly ail thee fishes hate a Mngular merliod of caring for their young. At the time of spawning the mother fish forms a little nest among the reeds and rushes, in which she de posits perhaps 200 green eggs, about the size of shot, which the immediate ly deserts. Curiously enough, in all the thousands of fishes but three orfour Instances are known where the mother 1 displays any affection for her young or 1 remains by them. The father stations himself by the nest and presently appears to be dining upon the eggs, but if he Is carefully watched it will be seen Uiat he is tak ing them into his mouth with the greatest care and not swallowing them. They are lodged in what cor responds to the cheeks and held there. The eggs soon hatch, the little fishes grow and the countenance of Mr. Tila pia becomes greatly swollen and puff ed out of all semblance to his former self. He cannot begin to close his mouth and presents a most extraordi nary appearance. To accommodate and protect the growing family the fish submits to great incouveuience and only permits them to escape when it is a physical impossibility to hold them any longer. At this time the father will undergo severe treatment rather than relin quish his progeny. He has been thrown out upon the beach, but still clings to his charge, even during his death struggles. Many of the young remain In this singular cradle until they aie four Inches in length. Philadelphia Inquirer. MAY FIRES. An Ancient Scotch Custom Which Once Involved Human Sacrifice. Sir John Sinclair's "Statibtieal Ac count of Scotland" contains notices of .many old customs, -which still contin ued to he observed In the Ilighlands, though they were even then fast dying out. From the eleventh volume of that great work, which was published in 1701 and the succeeding years, we learn, ou the authority of the minister of Callander, Perthshire, that the boys of tns township assembled in a body upon the moors on May day, and pro ceeded to dig a circular trench, leaving the soil in the center undisturbed, so as to form n low table of green turf, suf ficient In size to accommodate the whole party. They lighted a Are and prepared a custard of milk and eggs, and a large oatmeal cake, which they baked upon a etone placed In the embers. When they had eaten the custard, they divided the cake into as many equal portions as there were persons in the assembly and daubed one of those pieces with char coal until It was perfectly black. They tben placed all the pieces of cake to gether in a bonnet, and each in turn drew one blindfolded, the holder of the bonnet being entitled to the last piece. The boy who drew the blackened por tico was destined to be sacrificed and wab compelled to leap three times through the flames. Although the ceremony had degen erated into a mere pastime for boys, it is evident that it must once upon a time have Involved the actual sacrifice of a human being.

Exhibition 3u mmmmmmsm GOT HIS DISCHAKGE. THINGS CAME JUST RIGHT FOR THE NAVAL MACHINIST. An Incident of n Three tenrs' Cruise on the Vermont Which Goea to Sim it Hon- Smnll. After All, Tbl Great World of Onn Itenllj- I. Several years ago a quiet joung chap shipped as a machinist In the navy aboard the receiving ship Ver mont at the Brooklyn navy yard. He gave San Francisco as his place of nativity. He was assigned to a cruiser about to start for the China station by the Suez canal route. He was a crack mechanic and very soon showed the engineers that he knew how to earn his rate and wages. He never said much about himself. He wasn't any thing of what is called a "man-o'-war chaw," and, although he had been up and down the world a good deal, he let others do the talking. He was perhaps the quietest man in the Amer ican navy at the time he served. His ship got to the Asiatic station all right and cruised back and forth there between Chira and Japan for close on to three years. Then she was ordered back to the United States. She had a lot of "overtime" men aboard of her by that time, sailors whose time had expired, but who pre ferred to wait until they reached the United States before they took their discharges. When the ship was or dered back home, a lot of overtime men from other ships ou the Asiatic station were sent to her to be brought back to this country. This machinist call him Beall had just 21 days left of his three year en listment -when the Ghlp left lokohama for San Francisco via the Hawaiian Islands. All of the overtime men were talking about their trip around from San Francisco to New York by passenger steamer. They had all ship ped at the Brooklyn navy yard, and the navy always sends men to the point whence it tabes them when they enlist unless they "waive transporta tion" for the 'purpose of stopping off at an Intermediary point. It took the ship 14 days to "fetch up" Honolulu from Yokohama, and then Beall, the machinist, had five days yet to serve. "Are you going to waive transporta tion and drop off at San Francisco, or are you going around to New York with us?" the men asked him when the ship pulled into Honolulu. "Don't know yet," the machinist re plied. After coaling at Honolulu whicu- took four days, done leisurely the skipper of the ship decided to take a bit of a run around the Hawaiian Is lands before up anchoring for San Francisco. Beall's time expired on the morning that his ship was headed for Lahaina, on the island of Maul, a lit tle sail of about 85 miles from Hono lulu. The ship dropped her anchor within about 300 yards of the Lahaina beach along toward 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The Island of Maui Is lery beautiful to look upon a eritable gem of the ocean, If such a one was ever fashion ed by the baud of the creator. ,BeaIl, the machinist, was off watchj and standing on the to'gallant foc'sle, smoking his pipe, when the ship cast her anchor off Lahaina. There was some longing in his quiet gray, eyes. He knocked the ashes out of his pipe, stretched his arms and then walked down to the mainmast and told the of licer of the deck that he wanted to see the commanding officer. The command ing officer came out of his cabin. "What Is It, my man?" he asked the machinist "My time Is out, sir," said the ma chinist. "I guess I'll take my dis charge here." The commanding officer looked sur prised. "This Is rather a queer notion," he said. "You shipped in New York, did "you not? I should think you would want to get back to the United States after -your three years on the China station. Or, at any rate, that you would prefer to wait until we get back to Honolulu, if you want to waive transportation and take your discharge down here among the islands. Why do you want your discharge today and here?" The machinist smiled as be replied: "Because this island here, Maul, is my home. At this moment my father and mother and seven brothers and slstersare on this island. They are at a place not very far from Lahaina, call ed Spreckelsville. The girl that I am going to marry is also there. I was born In Frisco, but my father came down to this Island as engineer of a sugar plantation when I was 2 years old. None of them know that I am within Just a few-miles of home now. I want to give them a little surprise. I waive transportation, and I'll take my discharge now." The commanding officer listened to the recital with interest "Of course we'll give you your dis charge, son," he said, "although I'm sorry to lose you, and I had hoped you might ship over. Close mouthed men are wanted in the navy. You owe us some thanks, I think, for starting you off at New York, taking you around the world for three years and then fetching you up within an hour or so of your home on the very day your time is out. To all intents and pur poses, we have been a yacht for you." It was rather a remarkable happen ing for a fact. The machinist packed his things and went over the side, amid the pleasant salutations of the men, about two hours later, with his bag and hammock and a couple of thou sand dollars In gold, his savings dur ing the cruise. A couple of hours later he was with his people and his sweet heart In Spreckelsville. It Is a small world. Washington Star. Coflce Free.
