On« Fith Didn’t Grofo.
A number of men were telling of re¬
markable catches off Atlantic City, and
one of them said that one day he
taught a very small cod, and, not car¬
ing to take' home such a little fellow,
he took a piece of copper wire, ran it
through the tail of the fish, and on one
end of the wire he attached a copper
tag with his name scratched upon it
“The next year when I was off there,”
continued the man, *T got a heavy pull
on the line, and after five minutes’
fighting landed a twelve pound cod,
and there on its tail was my tag.”
“That reminds me of a similar ex¬
perience off there,” said another man.
“I caught one of those small cod, and
I wanted to hang some sort of identifi¬
cation on It, but I couldn't find any¬
thing In the copper tag line from one
end of the boat to the other. I did
find, however, a little tin whistle in
one of my pockets, and, running a wire
through the tail of the fish, I hung on
the whistle auZ throw J£e cod back
the water. ~~ w "'

“The following year I got a most pe¬
culiar bite on my book, and after pull¬
ing In the line I got the surprise of my
life. There was the same little cod.
He hadn’t grown an inch, but hang¬
ing on his tail was a long fog horn.”—

The wealthy Briton is confessedly

There is visible in the night sky, un
der favorable circumstances, a faint
light, rounded iu outline aud situated
always exactly opposite to the place
of the sun. It Is called the “gegen
sehien” and is one of the most inex¬
plicable objects known to astronomers.
According to a scientist, It may be a
sort of eometary or meteoric satellite
attending the earth. He supposes it
to be composed of a cloud of meteors,
situated about 1,000,000 miles from
the earth and revolving around it in a
period of just one year, so that the
sun and the meteors are always oa op¬
posite sides of the earth. He estimates
thnt the size of this ghostly satellite
may be nearly the same as that of the
planet Jupiter-viz, about 80,000 miles
ta diameter.
Court and Witness Agree.
An amusing incident occurred in one
of the New York courts the other day.
l’he lawyer for the defense was mak¬
ing a very lengthy cross examination
of an old lady when he was interrupt¬
ed by the Judge with the remark,
“I think you have exhausted this wit¬
ness.”
"Yes, judge,” she exclaimed, “I do
feel very much exhausted.”
" no- sue asked, “is that scrawny,
tiking bcuylegged, ridiculous looking person

An Unaccountable Failing.
It was a severe trial to Mr. Harding
that his only son’s memory was not all
that could be desired. “Where in the -
world he got such a forgetful streak
from is beyond me," said the exasper

“What has he forgotten now?" asked
Mrs. Harding, with eyes downcast and
a demure expression.
