A Fish that Eats Grass.

The menatee, or sea-cow, is q huge
amphibious animal. 1t is found in the
st. Lucie river. 1t has head like that
of sea lion, and it looks like gigan-
tic seal, 1t feeds upon the rank grass
growing upon the marshes of the st.
Lucie. The menatee has ribs Us thick
as q mans arm. Last year Dolph
Sheldon and Frank Sans caught one
alive near the mouth OF the river, in
tending to send it North for exhibition.
The animal weighed over 800 pounds.
Unfortunately it was tied to the boat so
firmly that the rope cut into it's flesh,
and it died before the party reached the
head of Indian river. The porgies de-
voured the body. Florida is the only
place i'll which the menatee is found on
the North American continent. Form
erly it was abundant, but it is now
nearly extinct, and becomes more scarce
everyyear. It's meat is greatly relished,
and tastes like tho best New York beef.
The whipparee resembles the stin-
garee. It's mouth is filled with two
ivory rocks, and between them it cracks
the CLAIMS on which it feeds. 1t reach
es an enormous size.
The porcupine-fish has q round bod
filed with quilts. 1t is small, and good
for nothing.
The cow-fsh is a curious fish. 1t has
the head of pig, with two horns above
the ears. On the bottom it is as smooth
as flat iron.
The majarra is the shape of Sleeps
head, and has lustrous brown shading
above the tail. 1t is as handsome as an
angel fish, and is good eating.
The spade-fish also looks like Sleeps
head, but it has no hard fins.

Losing their Property.

A correspondent at Ellington, Otter
tail county, Minnesota, says that with Il
number Of other citizens he settled
there five years ago upon piece of un-
surveyed land, and has lived thereon
according to law. Time and again the
settlers have applied for survey, but
they were put off on the plea that there
was no money to pay for it. But now
the land has been surveyed, and the
Northern Pacific Railroad has taken the
odd sections, and all the settlers who
have had the misfortune to settle on
them must pay at railroad prices. The
correspondent believes that they will be
hardly treated by the Northern Pacific
Company, but we trust that such will
not prove to be the case. 1t will GER
tainly be great deal wiser for this
great corporation to make the easiest
possible terms with those who are il
the condition of the correspondent and
to gain their friendship, rather than tC
incur their just resentment by exacting
from them the same rates for their land
as are exacted from newcomers who
have done nothing to open and improve
the country.

How General Scott Escaped.

General Scott, during the war of 1912,
is said to have narrowly escaped adeath
similar to that which recently befel
General Candy. The General was
taken prisoner at the battle of Queens
town, in which engagement the British
had on their side number of Indian
auxiliaries. After the day was over,
two savages, Captain Jacobs" and
Young Brant, came into his tent, osten-
sibly to see whether they had wounded
him during the encounter of the day, as
he had afforded such a splendid target
that each had fired at him several times
apiece. One of them seized him by the
back and attempted to turn him, when
he threw both with great force against
the wall, and, seizing sword, prepared
to sell his life as dearly as possible,
while they stood glowering, with their
hands upon tomahawks and knives,
waiting for the second when he should
be off his guard. A British officer en-
tered atthat moment, and the life of the
gallant American was saved, even had
not his own valiant arm been sufficient
to preserve it.

with the other enemies of Duke Ernst,
he wasted and devastated the country.
1t was in vain that the father entreated
his son to relent the war was conduct
ed with fury by the young knight, and
not until II vast amount of injury had
been inflicted upon Bavariadid Albrecht
yield to the solicitations of the emperor
Sigismund and other powerful friends
of the family. He returned to his faith
er's court, and after the lapse of several
years he consented to marry Anna of
Brunswick. To regain the forfeited es-
TEEN of his son, Duke Ernst had q
chapel erected over the remains of the
murdered girl, and Albrecht founded in
the year of het death daily masses for
her in the Carmelite convent of Straub-
ing. Even after twelve years he renewed
the foundation, and had the bones of
her whom he called his "honored wife"
transferred to the tomb provided for
herself, and covered with marble mon-
ument.
This painful story was long the theme
81 popular song in Germany, and it has
been made the subject of more than one
drama. But the narrative itself is tragic
enough without establishment to excite
intense sympathy for the unhappy wo-
man who was sacrificed.

A therapeutist of London thinks he
has discovered an infallible cure for
rheumatism, namely, the administra-
ton OF hot sand baths. He claims that
the advantage of this mode of treatment
consists, especially, in the fact that it
does not suppress perspiration like the
hot water bath, but rather increases it
and another advantage it possesses is,
that it does not interfere with the res
piration of the patient, as does the
steam bath or Turkish bath. 1t is as
serted that the body can endure the in
Auence of such bath foramuch longer
time, and a much higher temperature
can be applied. 1t can be used for in
fants, and permits of easy application
to part OF the whole body. II this
remedy shall prove efficacious for SC
serious an ailment, it will, indeed, be 6
boon to a large class of sufferers.

Is there any good reason why the dictates of
common sense should be disregarded in medical
practice? Surely not, Yet how literally they are
sometimes set at naught IN the treatment of dys-
pepsia, liver complaint, constipation, nervous
prostration and general debility, How often are
powerful purgatives, emetics, and saliyants given
in of indigestion, bilious collie and cSstive-
ness, when the disease has already robbed the
patient of strength he needs to combat vita the
attack. The absurdity ofgiving debilitating medi-
cines to sick people who are too weak already, is
SO manifest that it is astonishing how any sane
NJ an can believe in such practice. The rational
course under such circums tances is to admister
tonic aud regulating medicine, and the expert

Death of John Stuart Mill.

John Stuart Mill, the great English
writer on philosophical and social ques-
tions, died at Avignon, in the south of
France. His death will be felt as Il
great loss by educated men all over the
world Iu Great Britain, where his in
fuence has been for many years so
widely extended, there is no one who
can fill his place. His was one of the
great original minds of this century.
His opinion on every vital question of
the day was always anxiously sought
for.
Mr.. Mill was born in 1906. Early in
life he was remarkable for his thorough
education. His father, James Mill, was
a distinguished writer on philosophy
and metaphysics. The name of John
Stuart Mill is as familiar to every
student of metaphysics or logic as that
of Sir William Hamilton or that of
Emanuel Kant. But he was a founder
of new school i'll philosophy, not the
follower of an old one; or, rather he SC
elaborated and added to his fathers
views, that the system was virtually a
new one, and has become identified
with his name. His "System of Logic, .
1S43, and "Principles of Political Econ
omy," 1849, are his most celebrated
works. But his books on Govern
ment" and parliamentary Reform
have had more general circulation,
from the more popular character of the
subjects treated of.
In the discussions in England a yea1
or two ago as to the disposition of the
common lands, Mr.. Mill expressed very
radical views. He wished the lands tC
be parcelled out among the laboring
classes. His views have been adverse
to the interests of the large landed pro-
prietors, and by them have have been
considered of revolutionary tendency.
1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Mill has left
some unpublished work behind him tc
further enrich posterity.

DREARH HoMEs.-Of all the dreary
places, deliver us from the dreary farm
houses which SO many people call
"home." Bars for front gate chick
ems wallowing before the front door !;
pig-pens elbowing the house in the rear !;
scraggy trees never cared for, or no
trees at all no Towering shrubs, no
neatness, no trimness. And yet lawn,
and trees, and neat walk, and pleas
ant porch, and plain fence around, do
not cost a great deal. They can be Sc
cured little by little, at odd times, and
the expense hardly felt. And if the
time comes when it is best to sell the
farm, fifty dollars so invested will often
bring back five hundred. For man is
wrong who will not insensibly give a
higher price for such farm when he
thinks of the pleasant surroundings it
offers his wife and children.
