so 1 sold him two bottles of pain-killer to
cure the sores i had made two years before.
1t was not, perhaps, aremarkable fact that
my psin-killer went faster than my pain
maker, the corn-salve. did a thriving busi-
ness in this--so thriving, indeed, that 1
gradually caught up, as / may say, with the
intervening time between the sale of the lat
ter and former articles. That is, my earlier
traces became so recent that my disguise
grew perilous. But there was such de-
mand for the pain killer that went on, not
withstanding the danger. One day, however,
/ encountered sturdy young fellow upon
whose feet had operated not very long be-
fore. In his eager3ess for relief he was in
the act of purchasing it at my hands, when,
suddenly recognizing me, he changed his
mine and gave me a soynd thrashing instead.
That put an end to the pain-killer business.
l returned considerably bruised TO my head
quarters, and set all my energies to work on
the invention of something less perilous to
others as well as myself. 1 may say here that
1 always kept the little town which 1 have
called my headquarters open to me as an asy
lum, by leaving it and its immediate neigh
borhood free from all my medical and surgi-
cal experiments. The result of my arduous
creative thought eliminated this time in
paste to make old razor strops new. It pro-
fessed 20 do its rejuvenating work by
simple applications yet it did not
sell very wen. FROM In6 very ma
ture of things l did not have the credulous
woman half of the world to work upon; they
had little or no interest in superannuated
razor-strops. 1t was this consideration more
than any other, think, which inspired me
with the brilliant afterthought of changing
the name of my paste into that of healing
salve. Thus the same article became at once
endowed with universal curative virtues, aud
became also the professed desideratum of all
human nature. 1 suppose it would not be
modest in me to say that my salve was too
good for its original purpose. 1t is at least
true that, if it failed upon razor-strops it
succeeded admirably upon mankind. You
will hardly believe me when 1 tell you, but
still it is also true, that, by means of an in
cipient beard and my hair grown long, and of
q broad-brimmed slouch hat, as disguise, [
sold box of my celebrated healing salve to
that same innocent shoemaker who has al
ready twice figured as my customer. Owing
to my pain-killer, or the recuperative nature
of his healthy frame, his feet were about well;
and am glad to add that there was nothing
in my healing salve that would materially
prevent his ultimate recovery.

The large brown curlew is very pleasant
bird on the table. He is as large as young
chicken and very shy. The sportsman
watches on the shore in the evening as the
birds fly HON sward digs hole in the sand,
lies down in it and waits for a shot. He
sometimes, however, catches rheumatism as
well as birds, and then is very apt 10 for
swear a curlew diet.
There is also a large white crane, five
feet in height and with a tremendous
sweep of wing-strong eneugh, too, to
break mans arm if he should attempt
to seize the bird when wounded. The
only part eaten is the breast, which cor
responds in muscular development with
his powerful wing. Kill the bird, skin it
with one knife aud cut out the flesh with an
other; you cannot distinguish the taste from
venison. Two knives are used because of
the disagreeable fshy odor and taste which
lie in the oily skin.
But the most useful thing that flies
in the Florida woods is the humming-bird.
In the summer and among the the flowers il
looks like floating gem of the most exquis.
ite jewellers work. Nothing can exceed its
beauty, and no one can describe it.
