l h Fate â€" BHOW 10 OBTAIN Many = ma doesn‘t teil all Mr. Erank T. Bullen has introâ€" duced to a Hull (England) audience to the delights of whaling. It was a singular thing, he said, but he had never seen or heard of a shark attacking a man when there was a whale about. Ie had seen a man washed off the back of a whale, and although there were 200 or 300 sharks busy all round the whale, they never paid any attention to him at all. A mere miserable morâ€" sel of a man was no use to them when there was a whale about. He spent the whole of one Christmas afternoon until sunset on the back of a whale which in rolling, had wrecked their boat. They knew the sharks were underneath and the great problem they tried to solve was how long it would take them to get through the basement an< come to the superstructure. Bots of" city farmers make a specialty of sowing wild oats. "I have seen a rare freak of naâ€" ture, a product of that occupancy of a single range by so many differâ€" ent representatives of one genus, which shows the horns of a moose and an elk, each perfectly developâ€" ed on one frontal bone, but all one antler, half moose, half elk. What the animal that wore these horns was like I was unable to ascertain. I should not suppose though that hybridity would manifest itself in the horns alone. Under the conâ€" ditions of habitat hybridity would not only be quite possible but even natural." There is only this to tell people who are pale, weak and bloodless. YÂ¥ou are pale and weak because you haven‘t enough blood and y won‘t be better until your blood supply is increased. _ You should mot lose any time in increasing your blood supply, for people who neglect anaemia, often slip into a deadly decline. When you have increased your blood supply you can reasonably expect to have a good color, to have lost that ticed, breathless feeling, to have a good appetite and get good nourishâ€" meat from your food. Now the only quick and always effective way to get a supply of new, rich, red blood is to take Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills. Every _ dose i'elps to make new blood, Pnd this new blood coursing ‘through the veins, brings health and strength to every organ and every part of the body, making weak, ailing people bright, active and strong. This has been proved in thousands of cases of which the case of Mrs. George Clark, Abâ€" bottsford, B.C., is a fair sample. Mrs. Olark says: "After spending two years and six months in a hosâ€" pital training for a nurse, I began to fail in health, was â€" very pale and the least exertion would leave me out of breath. After graduatâ€" ing I came to British Columbia to take up my profession as a private nurse. The first case I took I found I was not able to go on with my work. Doctors‘ tonics failed e, and acting on my own judgâ€" fient, I purchased a supply of Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills. _ Before I had finished them I was really surâ€" prised at the result. The color came back to my face. I gained in etrength and by the time I had used nine boxes I was back at my work as a nurse. I have since married, but still have my friendly feeling for Dr. WilHams‘ Pink Pills." ‘"‘‘The two latter, scarcely ever found together, meet there. The caribou is seldom found elsewhere in company with either of them. There tliue elk contests the easternâ€" most limits of his present range, and the caribou occupies the most southernâ€"confines of his, while the Jlordly moose, noblest of the Cerâ€" ‘zidae, ranges the middle ground of that great northern thoroughfare of migration which reaches from Nova Scotia to Alaska without a break or interruption. A Product of a Region Whore the BDeer Family Congregates. No other locality is known where so many of the genus Cerâ€" vus are contained together as in Kittson county, in the northâ€"westâ€" ern correr of Minnesota,‘"‘ said Charles Hallock, the sportsman and nature student. ‘‘Within an area of less than seventyâ€"five miles are found moose, olk, caribou and the distinct variecties of blacktail and whitetail deer.

A GO0D COLOR People Who Eat Earthâ€"Some Find It Very Agrceeable. No collector of national foods inâ€" cludes earth or clay among them, yet this is a favorite dish with many hundreds of thousands of people up and down the earth. Even in Europe they are not difficult to find. In one district of Sweden, it is called Degenfors, the poor folk make use of a white clay, usually found among the roots of the trees there, by mixing it with rye flour, and then baking this abnormal proâ€" vender in a very slow oven.. They also use the stuff for soup. The quarrymen of Kiffhausen bhave for years beyond the memory of man ‘"‘buttered‘‘ their slices of black bread with fine white clay; and in Siberia the inhabitants along the *‘(When the pickerel is wanted for cooking, wash it clean, place it fully spread out on a wire broiler and broil before a hot fire. When both sides are thoroughly cooked serve with plenty of fresh butter spread on, and if you do not call it equal to any fresh water fish that swims, brook trout not excepted, then I don‘t envy you your judgâ€" ment on the edible qualities of ‘fish. And cooked in that way pickâ€" erel is just as good when cold, and that is something that can‘t be said of any other fish I know of.‘ ‘And they won‘t have to go more than fifty miles away from New York in almost any direction to find the material aâ€"plenty to warrant them â€" in saying so, either." ‘"People who come to Maine from other States,‘ said he, ‘seem to think that trout are the only fish to eat, but most of our Maine people, who are where they can get both pickerel and trout, don‘t put the former aside for the latter, not by a good deal. They regard pickerel as at least the equal of trout; and pickerel have also the saving quality of not palling on the palate nearly so quickly as trout will. "After trying Hardy‘s recipe for cooking a pickere!l I found that he had understated its results if anyâ€" thing. I venture to say that if some of these carpers at pickerel will paste that recipe in their hats and treat a pickerel according to its directions they will no longer look askant at the misjudged fish, but will be ready to take their rods and trolls and go out for many a bout with him,.and ever after declare that when a pickerel has a fair chance in water freoe from weeds or lily pads he can fight as long as most trout of the same size. "The trouble with your finical fishermen who decry the pickerel not only as fish to have sport with, but as fish to eat, is," said a New York man who champions that fish of small pulchritude and much jaw, ‘‘that they don‘t know how to cook the pickerel after they have caught him. I confess that I didn‘t know how myself until I heard Manly Hardy, the old Maine woodsman, deliver himself on the subject one day. 32. * _‘The way we cook pickerel to have them better than trout is simple but effective. Take a large pickerel, say from two to four pounds, clean it nicely and split it clean down the back. Then splib it again under the backbone so as to remove that bone and most o# the small ribs. Then rub with fine salt, putting most of it on the thickest parts of the fish. Lap the sides of the fish together or put two fish flesh to flesh and let it lie for several hours or over night, so as slightly to corn the fish, as the salting must not be too heavy.

A Medical Need Supplied.â€"When a medicine is found that not only acts upon the stomach, but is so composed that certain ingredients of it pass unaltered through the stomach, but is so composed that certain ingredients of it pass unâ€" altered through the stomach to find action in the bowels, then there is available a purgative and a. cleanser of great effectiveness. Parmelee‘s Vezetable Pills are of this character and are the best of all pills.. Buring the years that they have been in use they have esâ€" tablished themselves as no other pill has done. In this neighborhood it has been found that the guinea pigs do not suffer at all by being left to work in winter as well as in summer. Inâ€" deed, they are healthier than unâ€" der the usual treatment of those who keep them as pets. An asâ€" tonishing demand for the animals has grown up in the neighborhood, and if the inland golf clubs, which have great difficulties with planâ€" tains, take to the new method the guinea pig population is likely to go up in the ratio that the natural fecundity of the animal suggests. One lawn formerly a mass of weeds has been made to grow noâ€" thing but the finer grasses. Anâ€" other is still under process of treatâ€" ment.. The half â€"of it in which. the fiu"inea. pigs were first set to work as been cut quite even and very close. For golfing it is as fast again as it was under the administration of the mowing machine and not a weed is visible. The other half, where the animals have just been turned loose, is a mass of dandeâ€" lions. These broad leaved plants, which no mowing machine will touch, are killed by the persistent cutting _ of the guinea pig‘s teeth. When they have finished the weeds which are broad leaved and succulent they proceed to the grass. In a short time the lawn looks as if it had been cut by the closest machine. The persistent cutting of the leaves kills the weeds, which can stand almost any other treatment, but does no harm to the grass. The potters of Scinde also inâ€" clude earth in their dietary. Among their weekly expenses an allowance is always made for the amount of ‘‘chaniah‘‘ which they and their wives and families consume. This "‘chaniah‘‘ is a white oily earth also much used for glazing the finâ€" er grades of their pottery. . _ The Ainos are enthusiastic earth eaters. In the north end of their island is a valley where alone the material can be dug, but it is carâ€" ried to all parts. They boil it with the root of the wild lily, and when a certain proportion of the clay has settled, the remainder is poured off and eaten like cream. dee P nmannie e noseanninrn ie m Pieces of a friable stone, ‘"lapis ollaris,"‘ form a staple dish with the aborigies of New Caledonia. The explorers, Cloquet and Brisâ€" chet, when travelling in New Caleâ€" donia, could ‘get no other food for several days, but found no inconâ€" venience arising through eating five ounces daily of this strange food. The Ottamoc Indians of South America live exclusively on fish and earth. During the seasâ€" ons of flood when there is no fishâ€" ing, they are dependent wholly on their clay for food, and manage very comfortably with it. They find it so agreeable that during the rest of the year they eat a ball of it for dessert. Evidently clay agrees with them, for the Ottamocs are amongst the tallest, strongest and best nourished aborigines of South America. banks of the Amoor partake of & similar clay, which they call "rock butter."" On analysis this strange food is found to be composed _ for the most part of finely pulverized fiint and felspar, lims, clay, oxide of iron, and a residuum ofâ€" some unknown organic matter which yields ammonia and an oil. . Earth eaters are frequently to be found in the East. The seaâ€"goâ€" ing Dyaks always have a supply of yellow ochre on their expeditions as a reserve in case the stores should run out, and in the Malay Peninsula a white oleaginous clay is used for the same purpose. _ In Java little cakes of yellowish fatty earth are sold in the market, and women buy and eat them to preâ€" serve their slender figures.. & Suburban Field of Usefulness Open to the Guinea Variety. A curious but successful experiâ€" ment is being made on a number of private lawns in Kent and is abâ€" out to be tried by a golf club in the nsighborhood of Greenhithe. The idea is the novel one of substiâ€" tuting the guinea pig for the mowâ€" ing machine and the weed killer. Around the lawn is arranged. a low wire barrier and into the enâ€" closure are turned a number of guinea pigs or better, a passage is made fiom their hutch to the lawn. According to the Consular and Trade Reports the animals at once attack all the worst weeds, the plaintains first, then the dandelions and daisies. > PIGS AS LALWN MOWERS.
