In connection with the artificial hatching and @istribution of the young ot some of our most important food-fshes investigations have been earried on with a view to the knowledge of all thelr phases of development and of the eff upon them of surrounding conditions. The finvestizations have great interest to the natar- alist, as, on account of the links of un bind together all forms of hfe. part of a bac « light upon tl of life's history. 1. € germ consistins ot Such ferestivations ha food ad cash poin are or will u st of food-produetion. avery shad. sapidisima or ts naine this elnpeoid . is, when first extruded ). about one-fourteenth of a somewhat fh: since the facts disc be utilized in the wrinkled and Hes ir ellus or interior sub 3 x is appar- ently much larger, as much as the one-eighth or even one-seventh of an inch in diameter.

The notochord lies along the dorsal line of the embryo, @terminat- fog in front slizhtly behind the ey sbove it runs the incipient spinal cord, and w its anterlor end are the beginnings of the gilfarches.

In- closed in this Is the yelk, which, through the Microscope, is » consist of comparatively coarse mas: clear protoplasm, surrounded by a layer of amber-colored eeiluies. On the surface of this layer minute spherical promi- ences form at the end next to the heart, and these tiny bodies finally drop treely into the fluid of the surrounding space and aredrawn into the ¢ireulation. These bodies are quite colorless, and resemble the white blood-cells of human blood. The red oring matter of the blood is a later development. As the work of conversion of the yelk into the substance of the embryo continues the diminished yelk-mass becomes pointed in front. but is still covered by the amber-colored layer, which is thickest ‘ante- ve disappeared, when It also fades away, leaving no trace behind. It appears that the entire central portion of the yelk is bit by bit converted into that of its covering before its final change Into blood corpuscles. Minute conical teeth appear on the lower Jaw and in the pharynx of the young shad about the second or third day after hatching; and most of the yeik-eac has disappeared on the fourth tothe fifth day, but a slight rudiment of it re- mains until the fourteenth or sixteenth day. The time which the eggs need to hatch varies with the temperature. as is proved by the fact that im water of 74° Fahrenheit shad ova were hatched at the station cathe Potomac in seventy hours, while in water of 64.5° Fahrenheit they Beeded a hundred and nine hours, and when the medium had sunk to a temperature of 57.2°, hundred and forty-eight hours were neces- sary. Mr. Ryder never observed food in the alimen- tary canal until ten or twelve days after hatch- ‘mg. At about the beginning of the second week they feed fairly, and at the age of three Weeks the intestine is distended with food. Thus the embryo of a fish carries within it saficient food to nourish it until It Is able to , and so far we may speak of the “‘admira- ble provision” made for it by nature; but the fame nature that has provided food for our young shad has provided a most formidable list of enemies. With all fishes there are many slips between hatching and maturity. Sharp- eyed little fishes that have weathered tne dan- gers of youth lie in wait for the young of larger @pecies; and even the water-inhabiting larvse of Deeties, dragon flies and other large insects, pounce upon the helpless baby fishes, nip them ‘with their horny mandibles and feed aon them atleisure.

Thus the food of man himself is dependent, by a chain he takes no cognizance of, beings too small for his unaided eyes to see.

An old piscator states that, when lying upon the raplds, shad may be taken with a hook and line. The youn; slad, which have teeth, will bite, according ‘to th e 'y.at a tiny fly. The aduit shad probably takes its food in the same manner as the men- haden and most of the herring tribe are known | to do—that is, by swimming with the mouth open. ‘The Formidable Military Power of the French Repubiic. rom the New York Sun. When the Duke de Broglie inquired the other day in the French Senate what cours the Gov- ernment intended to pursue with reference to the triple alliance, the Minister for Forelzn Af- fairs replied, in substance, that the new leacue would be regarded with indifference.

Barthelemy the whole number of F | troops of the first Ine (including the army” and “active reserve”) is 1, whom 1,289,000 are trained soldiers. The 634,- 000 untrained men are enrolled and subject to the immediate call of the military authorities. and wouid be forthwith sent into barracks upon the outbreak of hostilities. But the so-called “first line” by no means represents the agcress- ive power of France. The second line, or terri- torial army, has an organization almost identi- cal with that of the active army, and which is equally permanent. The soldiers, too, are regularly called out for training, and it is averred that their mobilization would be as rapid and orderly as that of the reserves attached to the active army. Nor should the French ter- Titorial army be regarded as an instrument like the German Landsturm, only available for the defense of the national soilin the event of an Invasion. By a law of July, 1882, the French government is authorized to employ the territo- rial force in conjunction with the first line tor all military operations, whetherdefensive oraggres- sive. Now, this territorial army, which, like the first line, includes an active and a reserve sec- tion, contains 1,389,000 men, of whom not less 1,000 are trained soldiers. It would w from these data that the French repubiic ssesses in the year 1883—exclusive of its sea forces and of 870,000 raw recruits already en- “din companies—about — 2,500,000 able- | bodied, fully disciplined and well-armed de- fenders. Among the weak points of the regenerated French army M. Barthelemy speciiles the | cavalry, which, owing mainly to the inferior quality of the horses, 1s not qualified to cope with the same arm in the military establish- ments of some other countries. The number of officers, moreover, is quite inadequate to the enormous force of trained soldiers which can be | placed in the fleld, to say nothing of the un- j trained men who ‘would specially require in- | Struction and control. Exclusive of those hold- ing staff appointments and military function- aries,there are only 25,000 officers avallable for the first line. and scarcely more than half as many for the territorial army. This is a serlous defect in the system of France, as com- pared with that of her German neighbor. We observe, too, that though he speaks confidently espeeting the speed and faelity with which the mobilization of such gigantic forces would be effected, M. Barthelemy does not enter into de- tails on the subject, or dispel the grave mis- givings which were larvukede by the delays ex- no in despatching a single army corps to ‘unis. After making, however, all reasonable allow- ances for acknowledged and unreported short- comings, we must recognize in the army de- scribed by Prof. Barthelemy by far the most re- doubtable military establishment which has ever been created upon the soil of France. With such a weapon in her hand, the French republic is unlikely to remain permanently isolated, for friends will have much to gain and enemies much to fear from her. geolbadton ese RS See Ee What Mrs. Grundy Says.

From The Youth's Companion. . Pet dogs are the latest hobby in the fash!on- able world of New York and other large citles. A certain costly species of buil-terrier, grown exceedingly small by in-breeding and doses o gin, Is the favorite of women wealthy enough to afford indulgence in such pets. They are hideously mis-shapen little monsters, bat the uglier they are the more they are valued. They are taken out every day by their mistresses or footman for an airing wearing embroidered coats and goldcollars, on which thelr names are engraved or set, in jewels. One of these dogs died in Philadelphia lately, and formal notice of the funeral was given to the friends of its mistress, who sent their dogs in carriages with liveried footmen, etc., ete. The dead dog was laid in a satin-lined, silver- mounted coffin; offerings of flowers were sent, and a costly monument was raised over its grave. “Beppo,” the pet of a wealthy young lady, lately sent out cards for a reception, which was attended by all the haulion of dogdom. The homely little beasts sent to the reception were served on dainty china all the delicacies of the caterer’s art. The feast, fldral decorations, etc., cost more than $200. On the week on which Beppo held his recep- tion, an entertainment of another kind was given by a young girl who lived near to Beppo's mistress. She lid® spent the last summer in a little village In one of the hill counties of Penn- sylvania. The clergyman of this parish was a scholarly man of much intellectual force. His wife was @retined, sensitive woman. They had five chil- dren. The clergyman had given up a profession in which he might have grown rich to serve the Master he loved, in ministering to his fellow- men, His salary was @400 a year. and that often was not paid when it was needed. In other words, here was a man who had the education, tastes and habits of the very highest class; who natur- ally wished to educate his children; who was obliged to pope and live as a gentleman, and to exercise hospitality and charity upon the Nets So of a day laborer. ia8 Dash guessed something of the priva- tons of this good man and of his family during her stay Inthe village. Last winter, out of her allowance (which was a liberal one) from her rich father, she made up a box for the pastor's family, in which she declared there should be nothing absolutely neceksary, “Let them for once in their lives, have a taste of indulgence,” she sald. “It will be ike water to a thirsty soul.” The great box arrived late in the evening ofa raw November day, Just as the clergyman and hls family rose from thelr scanty supper. Fora — there had been no meat or butter on that ‘able. The family grew red with excitement as the: gathered round the box. The lid was knock off. Out came warm winter cloaks and caps for the three girls, an overcoat for the miniater,and &@ pretty, soft dress for his wife, all new. “Why,” said their donor, “should we give the man who leads us to God uur cast-of clothes.” There were books and mi man, and an wing of ang upon the wi ere were toys for little Molly and packages of fibwer seeds, and a huge box of candy for everybody; and then there was a letter inclosing a check which would send the boys to a goed school for two years. hen they all kneeled together that night, and the clergyman tried te thank God and to prey for their kind friend, his voice choked so he could not speak. ° These are two companion pictures fur our read. to rg fe their memory.

This has two entrances, one on the east, where the steps are‘ guarded by bright brass rods that show their burnish in the sun- light, and the other on the north, with a porte cochere. But with such variety of architecture one comes back to the Windoz: residence with wonderful satisfaction.” It does not weary the eye with turrets or towers, crooks or niches, overhanging eaves or topbeavy windows, or ef- forts to combine several styles in one inharmo- nious whole. It is plain, spacious and hand- some on the exterior, but infinitely more attrac- tive as an Interior. The broad hall leads direct- ly through to the handsomest private dining room here. This extends crosswise—at one end with a deep alcove window, at the other with doors opening into the dining room. On one side is an oak buffet; on the other an oak mantel of the sixteenth century. ‘The paper on the wall harmonizes with the oak finish, and altogether the room gives a sense of substantial elegance, and is cheerful without heaviness. The dining room js the whole length of the house, and on the west side broken by a broad window, At either end another deep window, and the double doors opening into the dining room are matched by similar ones open- ing into the hall, just opposite those leading into the library. The three rooms and hall can be thrown open, and will afford unusual space by their arrangement. The stairway is inaside hall leading to the right, quite out of the way, and yet convenient, the two flights to the second floor broken by a landing, lighted by a stained-glass window. AH of the windows get a bit of stained glass, with birds of brilliant color par in the upper part. It gives a soft, agreea- He light to the rooms. The dining room Is not yet furnished. Mrs. Windom has taken time to study effects, and to get such pieces as seemed most desirable, without the haste that often coinpels regret after things are bought that are not desirable. The result is a well-farnished, satisfactory, beautiful home, and one, I tancy, not to be given up because of Mr. Windom going out of official life. There was no more reason why he should not have bullt this house than there was why Senators Cameron, Pendle- ton, Van Wyck and others should not have built theirs. But comment has been made upon Mr. Windom for doing it. If a Senator has his own home, or rather his own house, here, he can make it areal home. He cannot do so witha rented house, And it is almost impossible to get a comfortable furnished house, even ata high rent. Pschutt and Pschuttists. From the London Trutn.

He did this to give an example of the levity of mondaine soclety here. The Princess, on arriving from Berlin, told an infatuated dandy, bearing an old name, and engaged in squandering a large fortune. how she had read In the German papers that he was tres pschut.

The word “‘pschutt” breaks out like a zymotic eruption in the Vanity Fair columns of the Boulevard gazettes. ‘Tailors, Jewelers, milliners, and tradespeople who live upon the vanity of the wealthy have got it on the tips of their tongues. It’s “psehutt” to go to the cir- cus on Saturdays, and to the Francais on Tues- days and on Thursdays, to have a bourbon at one’s parties, and to engage Madame Judic to sing for him. Japanese soirees are the ne plus ultra of the genre,for so has willed the Duchesse de Bisaccia. The gommeuz must abandon starch and cosmetics. Instead of looking as though he came out of a bandbox, he owes it to himself to be limp from the waist up. From the walst down he should be creaseless, and in short boudine. This word has supplied him with 9 second nickname. ————— Mongolian Pity for Animals. Nowhere will you find less cruelty than In Mongolia. Not oniy do their cattle and flocks recelye expressions of sympathy in sullerins, and such alleviation of pain as their owner knows how to give, but even the meanest creatures, insects and reptiles included, are treated with consideration. One of the best proofs of thehabitual kindness of the Mongol is the tameness of the birds on the plateau. Crows perch themselves onthe top of loaded camels, and deliberately steal Chinamen’s rusks aud Monvol’s mutton before the very eyes of the voctfer i owners; hawks swoop down In the market-place at U and snatch eatables from the hands of the nawary, who simply accuse the thief of patricide end pass on; and swallows, d their nests and rear their very tents of the Mongols. A pity seems to flow out freely to- the suffering of all creatures, even the meanest and most yexatious. My bald-headed camel-driver was nearly driven to distraction one evening by acloud of mosquitoes, which Kept hovering over and allghting on his shining ate. During the night there came atouch of rost, and, when we rose in the morning, not an Insect was onthe wing. Looking at them as they clung benumbed to the sides of the tent,he remarked. ‘‘The mosquitoes are frozen!” and then added, in a tone of sincere sympathy, the Mongol phrase expressive of pity, “Hoarhe, hoarhe!” There was no sarcasm or hypocrisy about it.—Among the Mongols. Dean Gassford’s Reasoning. From Temple Bar. “T have my doubts about the Thirty-nine ar- ticles, sir,” said a too conscientious Christ Church man to him on the eve of taking his degree. The Dean looked at the troubled one ina hard, sardonic way: ‘How much do you weigh, sir?” “About ten stone, I should think, sir,” was the astonished answer. “And how tall are you to half an inch?” “I really don’t know to half an inch.” “And how old are you to an hour?” The dublous one was speechless. “Well, you are in doubt about everything that relates to yourself,” cried the Dean triamph- antly, “and yet you walk about saying: Iam twenty years old, I weigh ten stone, and am five feet eight inches high.

Having been troubled for many years with kidney iseane, with severe pains in my beck and imbe—my ankles were at times very badly swollen—I was sdvised to go tothe hospital for treatment, which I aid on the advice of a friend, but found no relief, at least only of a temporary natare, and I hed given up all hope of acure until my husband was advised to use Hunt's Remedy by a friend that had used it and been cured of a severe casect dropey and kidney trouble. I procared a bottle, and had not used one-haif of the bottle before I began to be better, no pain in the back, and the swelling of my | YnewarneuGre't limbs commenced to go down, and my appetite was much better, for I had become so bad that all I ate die- tressed me very much.
