The Ikam Buntal.

In natural history, and one which has
commanded marked attention from
ichthyologists and scientists, is the
ikam buntal (Tetrocdon solandri), or
bouncing fish. 1t is numerous on the
coast of Borneo, and common to the
waters in Sarawak. 1t is very poisonous,
and its bite is fatal.
The appearance of one OF fthese strange
fish on the beach will put to flight a
great body of natives. 1t is repulsive'
looking object, its body being faccid,
and covered with short, flexible spines,
which stand erect when the fish is an
gered. It has brilliant, restless, snake
like eyes, and sharp, formidable, saw
like teeth. When irritated, it will in
fate itself to prodigious size, and emit
loud, whistling sound, similar to the
whip-poor-will.
1t goes bouncing about on the ground
llk0 an lQQlhu IuUDeT Ddll, duu Sdn iOoe
at ease upon the surface of the water.
1t makes vigorous resistance when at
tackled, and the loud whistling will at
tract others, who will come to the as
sistance of their neighbor.
Some years ago thirteen persons
were fatally poisoned after eating OF the
roe of this singular fish. The tongue
was white and mottled in those who
died, and the mouth exhibited strange
blueish tint. Death resulted in twenty
minutes after eating of the fish.
There is superstition thst the. Ma
lays and Dyaks can eat this dangerous
and curious marine death-shadow,"
as the sailors call it, with impunity, by
cooking it with certain kind of plant,
which absorbs and neutralizes the
poison, land thereby counteracts its
deadly effects upon the system.

Meet Me in the MOrninS,

He had been absent a year, the
youngest pupil at boys school, and
now his mother was expecting him
every day, and she went about proud
and happy, telling her friends of the
improvement i'll his studies, and always
ending with his being such a good boy.
Then comes a telegram from Willie
himself, the first real message he has
ever sent-how funny it seemed-from
that baby-and there was just this sim
pie form, "Meet me in the morning."
His mother went about all day with it
in her hand, reading it over as if it had
been in the child's own handwriting.
Then she smiled to herself as she paste /
it carefully in scrap-book, while some
body suggested framing It to hang over.

HiDernating Animals.

What we understand by the hibernat-
ing of animals ought not, strictly speak
ing, to be called Information, since it is
precisely analogous to that which is
common in tropical countries during
seasons of intense heat. The Germans
call one "winter Sleep" and the other
"sunlmer Sleep" There seems to be
no essential difference between the two
states; nor is there, in the opinion of
most authorities, any difference between
the ordinary sleep of an animal ana its
long winter sleep, except that the latter
is more profound. 1t is popular mis-
take to suppose that the winter sleep of
animals is due to extreme cold, since,
as matter of fact, almost all hiber-
mating creatures go to sleep before
the extreme cold of winter sets in.
Besides, as has been said, precisely
similar phenomenon is met with in the
torrid regions Of the earth. MIR. Dar-
win, in his journal, says: "When We
first arrived at Bahia Blanca, Septem-
Der 7, we thought nature had granted
scarcely a living creature to this
sandy and dry country. By digging IN
the ground, however, several insects,
large spiders and lizards were found in
half torpid state. On the 18th few
animals began to appear, and by the
18th, three days from the equinox, every.
thing announced the commencement
of spring. The birds began to lay their
eggs, numerous insects were crawling
about, while the lizard tribe, the con-
slant inhabitants of a sandy soil, darted
in every direction" cit is we'll
known" adds the sane writer, "that
within the tropics the Information, OF,
more properly, nstivation of animals is
governed by the time of drought"

A Rows Luck.

The Norristown (Pa.) Herald in a re-
cent issue referred among othera to the fol-
lowing cases Of special interest. They are
their own commentary. Mr.. Samuel c
Nyce resides at eos Marshall street, and
holds the responsible position Of journal
clerk in Il tie 22eaEss.sssaahia I es;ala.u-s at
Harrisburg. While Mr.. Nyce and family
were in the country recently, his boy, aged
three years, fell and broke his leg. He re
covered, but very troublesome stiffness
set in and he could scarcely use the leg.
The injured limb was rubbed several times
with ST Jacobs Oil, and the stiffness was
30 much reduced that the boy was able to
use his leg freely. DR.. Knipe said it was
the use Of St. Jacobs Oil that cured the
stiffness Mr.. Nyce himself used the Great
German Remedy for toothache with good
effect, and also for sprain and pains Of
rheumatic nature, and always with good
effect. Mrs. Nyce also says she thinks the
Oil is splendid thing, and she always
keeps it on hand.

A $500 Hen.

A young man of Providence, r. l.,
and we'll known, wears q handsome
cluster diamond pin, valued somewhere
about $500. A few nights since he sr-
rived at his home late, and hurriedly
undressing threw his shirt carelessly
on the. floor, with the valuable pin in
the bosom, and retired. The next
morning when he came to don his shirt
the pin Was gone. and the strictest
search for it was unrewarded with sue
cess. 1t happened that there was about
the house hen-a sitting hen, kept in
the house on account of her occupation
and the thought occurred to the
father that perhaps the pin had
become detached from the garment
when it was thrown down, and the hen,
in her wanderings, might have been at
tracted by this shining valuable, aud
gobbled it down. He had great

investigate, but he didn't want to-, as if
he did the eggs would be no good; so
for a couple OF days the hen was kept
close, not allowed to go out of the
house, and closely watched in the hope
of finding the missing diamonds. But
no pin was found. Finally, on or about
the third day, it was decided to kill the
hen, when, sure enough, in the gizzard
was found the missing pin. The gold
setting was bent and scratched and one
of the smaller diamonds was missing,
but four of the diamonds were all
right.

man to give him some tobacco for his
pipe. The man gave him loose hand
full from his pocket. The next day he
came back and asked for the white man.
"For," said he, 81 found quarter OF
dollar among the Tobacco "Why
don't ~u keep itf" asked bystander.
"I've got good man and bad man
here" said the Indian, pointing to his
breast, "and the good man say, 1t is
not mine; give it back to the owner.
The bad man say, :Never mind, you got
it, and it is your own now The good
man soy, mo, no; you must not keep
it, So don't know what to do, and I
think to go to sleep, but the good and
the bad men keep talking all night and
trouble me, and now I bring the money
back I feel good" Like the old Indian
we have all a good and a bad man
within. The bad man is Temptations;
the good man is Conscience, and they
