Among the many interesting arts im which the Japanese excel is that of the making of fish talls. Almost every one has seen the bush tailed goldfish, with its four, five and sometimes more long, wavy tails, but it Is not generally known that most of them are not its own. When the little goldfish are very, very young their flesh is as clear as glass, so that one can see every bone in their tiny bodies. At this time the few that are born with two or more tails are put by. themselves, and then a queer looking old Jap, with a great magnifying glass fastened in front of his eye and wee sharp tools handy, reaches down under the water and cuts off the tails of the plain little fish, and then three or four of ihese tails are joined on to the backbone where the one was cut off and fastened there with tiny bandages until they grow fast. . The Japauese, who are very skillful in queer things of this kind, grow the: finest goldfish in the world, and it is a very good business, for very fine fish: of this kind. often bring as much as $300 to $300, and one sold not long age for $1,000.

She replied that she had not read it and added: "Papa says there is nothing so bad for young people as reading bad poetry." Scott's son Walter returned from. school one day with evidences of bav-- ing been engaged in a fight, His fa-' ther asked him what he had been fight-' * ing about. He replied that he had been; called a "lassie" and had resented it. A little questioning showed that' = young Walter's schooolfellows had nicknamed him "The Lady of the Lake," which mame the boy .dld net . understand except as a reproach to his manliness, A the t
