A Swiss naturalist, Konrad Yesner, has recorded the history of one that was 267 years old, It had spent its en- tire existence as a prisoner in a fish- pond. Not long ago a plaice was caught in the North Sea, wearing a disc which proved that it had been previously caught in 1904. For the -Jast twenty years there has been a con- ger eel in the Plymouth aquarjum, and as he was a big fish when he was caught he is probably not far off his fitsieth birthday. Carp are known to live for many years, and they grow only two or three inches a year. The salmon, on the other hand, grows rapidly and dies young. I --------.

At a meeting of representatives of O.H.A., clubs in this district held in Welsh's Parlors Tuesday night schedules were drawn up for intermediate group No. 3 and Junior group No. 4.

"MASSACRE." A writer who likes to see justice done to, the. American Indian is Cy- rus Townsend Brady, LL.D. In the preface of a volume on "Indian Fights and. Fighters," he makes a marked distingtion between the terms 'massacre! and 'battle,' He says that every time a body of troops engaged in a fight with Indians and the, trogps were. out-numbered or caught at. a disadvantage, and the battle was continued until the troops were slaughtered, such an affair was popularly called a "massacre," as, for instance, "The Custer Massacre." Mr. Brady. believes this to be an un- warranted u sof te term, Custer, the author points out, attacked the In- dians jand fought desperately until he and his men were all killed. He calls it a "battle" and not a mas- sacre.,"" When an Indian war party raided a settlement or overwhelmed a train, or murdered women or chil- dren, that, he thinks, was a "mas- sacre." The author says: "I would like to ask if anyone ever heard of the 'Massdere of Thermopy- lag'? The Greeks fought there until all save one were killed, Te results there were exactly the same as those of the hattle of the Little Big Horn, hut I ave yet to read in history that the Persians 'massacred' the Greeks in that famous pass."
