It is eight 'or nine inches long, dark green in 'color and marked with dusky bands. Long distances ars travelled on land by this fish, which drags itself over the ground by litching its pectoral fins 'around stems of grass or any- thing else that affords a "foothold." Although its Malayan name means "tree-climber," some naturalists . do not take mach stock in its climbing habits, or, at least, do not think it makes a custom of climbing trecs. That it can do so, however, is un- doubted. Nearly 1,000 years ago, Arab travellers in India were told about a native fish that was in the habit: of climbing cocoanut palms' in order to drink the milk of the trees In 1791 a traveller mamed Daldori said he took a "climbing perch from a palmyra palm, growing 1 a lake, When captured, it was five feet from the ground and struggling to get higher. Suspended by its gill covers and pectoral fins, it was bending from side to side, sticking its tail in cavi- ties of the bark-and wriggling stead: ily upward. This fish can exist for days out of water. In these land invaders gills still continue to he the seat of r ation, but their structure i con siderably.

Frog Skins Are Chicken Feathers. New York Tribune There is a dispute betwoen the eol- lector of the port and a firm of Ja- panese importers over the classifica of frog skins.

Many People Weaken System With Purgative Medicines. A spring medicine is a necessity. Nature demands it as an aid to: en riching the blood and carrying off the impurities that have accumulated during the indoor life of the winter months. Thousands of people recog: nizing the necessity for a me dicine, dose themselves with harsh, griping purgatives This is a mis take. Ask any doctor and he will tell vou that the use of purgative medi: to erddulity cines weaken the system and cannot rossibly cure disease. In the spring the system needs building up-- purga- tives weaken, The blood should be made rich, red and pu tives cannot do this. What i headel i¥ a tonic, And the bedt tonic medical sgienco has vet devised is Dr. Wil- lame' Pink Pills. Every dose of this medicine actually makes new, rich blood, and this tew {henna every an amd very part the body. That is why these pills wmples and unsightly skin eruptions. That is why they oure headaches, backaches, rheumatism, neuralgia and a host of other troubles that come from poor, watery blood.

Miss Mabel Symmott, Lisle, Ont., says: "I was pale and weak and suffered great. ly from headaches, and 1 found noth- ing to help me until 1 began tak- ing Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These have completely restored my health and I bless the day I began taking them."

Technical World Magazine It is estimated that the number of seats taken in the Pribylofl islands be- tween 1570 and 1900 was about 2,200. 000, and by pelagic hunting im Bering sea during the same period about 700, 000 more. Since 1590 the catch. has been much reduced thro the seal herds being depleted by killing them with guns, spears and other weapons, The total value of the seals taken from these Alaskan waters in thirty years by the Alaskan company and in dependent operators must have exosed- ed $30.000,000, and as the United States paid only $7,000,000 for Alaska itsell in 1567, it is casy fo wes what a good bargain that transaction was for the fur companies, At the annual sale of 'seal skinsin London in , 1905, some 19,000 skins were sold at an average price of $100 5 skin, The prices show a high water mark, none but a millionaire can afford to buy these garments in the future. The sapply has reached its lowest level, there being only 40,000 fur seal skins throughout the world. st-------- Pat Goes A-Hunting.
