Sick Fish.
When a fish in an aquarium is ailing
or injured, it is put into a reserve tank,
out of sight of the visitors, and where
it ean be looked after at any time. The
circulation of the tank is adjusted with
great nicety to give the fish the greatest
possible amount of water, and with the
constant renewal of water the greatest
possible amount of fresh air. A fresh
water fish may be treated with salt wa
ter baths. The fish is fed on the food
best suited to its condition or most like
ly to suit its fancy.
It may lie on the bottom of the tank
motionless for hours, like a sick person
in a bed. It may sometimes seem to be
dead, but a closer inspection will show
a feeble movement of the gill covers,
which marks the fish’s respiration. Aft
er all, the fish may die; of toner, under
treatment, it recovers, and then it goes
back to its place in the display tanks.—

DR. H. C. THOMPSON DEAD
Clever Man.
. It is said of a contributor to some of
the comic papers of the day that his
wit shines more brightly in his speech
than in his “copy.”
“What a clever man that Tompkins
is,” he said lately to an acquaintance,
referring to a well dressed, ordinary
looking man who had just passed him
with a bow.
‘’Clever!” echoed the other. “Why,
I never heard of his saying or doing
anything!”
“That’s just it, ” returned the writer
gravely. “Think of his being able to
live without saying or doing’ anything.
I couldn’t.”—Youth’s Companion.
