Alleged Hidden Meaning In “Sing a 8ong of Sixpence.” Certain clever people who are wiser than their neighbors in find ing out things believe they have dis covered a, hidden meaning in many of the old nursery rhymes. You will be amused to hear what is their opinion about "Sing a Song of Six pence.” In their opinion it is ap parently a sort of allegory. The four and twenty blackbirds, they say, represent the twenty-four hours. The bottom of the pie is the world, while the top crust is the sky that overarches it. The open ing of the pie is the day dawn, when the birds begin to sing, and surely A GOOD PLACE. Notioe is berebv given to Indies and gentlemen who visit Macon that Mrs. W. H.

The queen; who sits in the dark kitchen, is the moon, and the honey with which she regaleg herself is the moonlight. Tho industrious maid, who is in the garden at work before her king, the sun, has risen, is the day dawn, and the clothes she hangs out are the clouds. The bird who so trag- , _"* r "nipping off her nose” is the sunset. So we have the whole day, if not in a nutshell, in a pie. Queer Fish. Which fish have the power of floating and swimming back down ward ? This peculiar property is possess- d: ed only by the diodon and tho tetro- don, two allied families of tropical fishes whidh are popularly known as [lobefish. The tetrodon is also ound off the coasts of Cornwall and Ireland. Tho faculty is due to tho fact that tho skill of the abdo men of these fishes is much looser than it is on the back, and they have tho power to inflate this loose skin by swallowing air through tho gullet. This, of course, enables them to turn over at will, and, al though the groat French naturalist Cuvier did not believe that when in this position they could swim as they pleased, Darwin corrected him and proved that they could swim both forward and backward in this position. It is, of course, well known that the shark and the dogfish, owing to the peculiar position of tho under jaw, are obliged to turn on their backs before thoy can seize their prey, and while in this 1 position they are able to swim for a very con siderable distance. This, however, is done by the muscular force of the fins and tail and not through any special apparatus, such as the fir globefish possesses. One of Secretary 8haw’s Stories. Secretary Sliaw tells this story of Iowa his Becond race for governor in when he failed to carry his own county: He was chatting with a witty Irish cobbler, who dryly con gratulated him on his election. "Yes, Fmfrglad to 'be elected,” said Mr. Shaw, "but I’m sorry to have lost the county where I live.” Pat didn’t say a word. "What do you think about it, Pat?” persisted the successful candidate. "Begorra, it’s the divil’s own pity ye didn’t live in every county of the shtate,” was the explosive reply.

Tintoretto’s "Paradise.” Tintoretto’s great mastorpiece, "Paradise,” in the ducal palace at Venice, suffered but slightly from the fall of the St. Mark’s campa nile. A little careful work by the clever Italian restorers and the great painting will be, it is said, in as good condition as before tho nearby bell tower collapsed. A Boy’s Deduction.

Evanston, 111., has a scissors guild composed of boys and girls, who clip pictures and mottoes in their leisure hours and send them to sick children. BRING US YOUR JOB WORK. SATIS FACTION GUARANEETD. For the first time since 1869, says the Boston Transcript, the postof fice department, with the issuance of the new series of stamps now in preparation, will make use of the American flag in one of its designs. This will be a part of the two cent stamp, which, by the way, will bear little resemblance to the one now current. The familiar portrait of Washington will be succeeded by a photograph taken from Gilbert Stuart’s famous painting. This bust of Washington, so long known to the stamp using public, was drawn frpm lloudon’s profile cast. Stamp experts think that this new two cent stamp, with its superb like ness of Washington, its draped flags, its wreaths of laurel leaves in tho lower corners and the general balance of text and artistic effect, together with the remarkable ex cellence of the mechanical work, will make this the finest postage Btamp ever produced. Clover Decoration. Very pretty and delightfully sim ple in effect is a water set in Aus trian glass. There’s a rather tall pitcher and six glasses, and the glass is frosted. Frosted glass is usually pretty, but in this case it is unusual ly pretty, because it forms so dainty a background for tha decoration of throe and four leaved clovers. These clovers are in enamel color ings, und every detail and every pretty shading of every leaf is car ried out perfectly. Ui" nfortunately it is not* cheap, the figure being $29.60, which really is cheap when the work is considered. So dainty are the clover leaves that one takes them for exquisite maidenhair ferns at a distance of a foot or two. After all, the subject doesn’t count for so much. It’s the way it is treated. Modern Colossus. Living in Dover, England, is a man who is an amazing sight, and for the reason that he weighs not less than 733 pounds. Moreover, his relatives say that his weight in creases every year. He has not been able to walk for the last eight years, and he passes his days in an im- Ih * ' ‘ ‘ mense chair, which is on wheels, and therefore can be rolled from place to place. At night the giant is wheeled to his bed, into which he hoists him self by means of a* trapeze. A traveling showman recently of fered this fat man $300 a day if he would exhibit himself, but the of fer was declined. "I don’t need money,” said the fat man, "and I’m too fond of my family to leave them.” To Save Tin Cans. When a can 1 rusts through where the sides join the bottom, it is not necessary to throw it away, as the holes may he effectually stopped by covering them inside with a small piece ot linen dipped in copal var ill nish, the tin being previously thor oughly dried. When the varnish hardens by drying, the can will be perfectly water tight. ' Ground Frozen 225 Feet. !_. William Boone, a miner, says the Kansas City Journal, who has come down from Dawson City, Klondike, to spend the winter with relatives at La Plata, says he has dug 225 feet deep in the ground of his claim, but has never been able to reach a point where the ground was not frozen hard. trrnn** Castorfa is a liarmlcss substitute for Castor Oil, Pare goric, Drops and Soothing Syrups, It is Pleasant, It contains neither Opium, Morphine nor other Narcotic substance.
