The demand for eye-stones has fallen
off very largely, but they are kept still
and sold in considerable quantities. The

gather them by the quart and vend in

Bloodstones are also called for, not the

contract rheumatism because of the con.

jected. Calling at the postoffice the re-
porter had pleasant conversation with
Mr.. J. H. Mattern, one Of the most pop
ular and clover letter-carriers in Indian
apo!is. Mr.. Mattern said that while in
the army during the civil war, he sprain-
ed one Of his ankles, which was always
worse in the spring during the period Of
the rapid changes in the weather. He
did not find much relief from the several
remedies he applied. Bat two years ago
he hit upon st. Jacobs Oil. and cxpe-
rienced wonderful relief from its use.
Several applications of the Great German
Remedy relieved him entirely. The re.
porter talked with others among the

Fish That Fly.

An old sailor said there was nothing
on land not TO be found in the sea-
There are sea cucumbers and carrots,
and many other sea vegetables that look
very much like those whose names they
bear. Some of the fish even have names
like those of land animals. There are
hog-fish, sea-horses, toad-fishes. and sea-
cows. One very lovely fish is the angel.
fish. But the most curious Of all Is the
flying fish, which has bread fins like
wings.
This fish is shaped and colored some.
thing like mackersl. Its back is blue
and its underparts are white. When it
flies it takes short flights from the top Of
one wave to the top Of another. The
fying-sqnirl can fly in this way, from
high point of one tree to one lower
down. They are plentiful near the West
Indies, where the water is warm. In the
morning the sailors may fina dead fish
on the deck. Ithad seen the'liRhts that
the vessel carries at night, and flown to
ward them. 1t could fly high enough to
reach the vessels deck, but could not
fly across it. 1t may have struck boom
or sail and fallen dead from the blow.
After this they grow more numerous,
and you will see them in the daytime.
They will fly out of the water in front
of the ship, in little groups, looking like
flocks of swallows. Their white sides
will CLEAN like silver in the sun. They
cannot fly far, perhaps hundred yards.
after wetting their wings or fins, they
then can fly farther on. They look as If
they enjoyed their life in the air, but
they no not always fly for pleasure. The
dolphin, a very fierce and fast SWIM
ming fsh, hunts them in the water.
When the poor flying fish tries to escape
him, the great sea-birds, the gelis and
pelicans, seize them as they fly out.
They are very good to eat. The people
in the islands about which they live
catch them in dip nets, and fry them.

WAsnIsdroS, May 23.-It is expected
that the internal revenue bill will be called
up in the House within the next ten days.
The bill will provide n. reduction OF taxes,
in the aggregate, OF 24,O00,0O0. OF this
amount Sl7 100000 or more will be taken
oil by repealing the taxes on bank capital
and deposits, bank checks, matches, &c.
An additional reduction Of s., 10000 will
be caused under the provisions OF the bill
by takipg of about so per cent OF the spe-
cial taxes paid by liquor dealers and tobac-
co manufacturers and dealers. Nearly
nine-tenths OF this sum will be represented
by the reduction OF the tax on retail liquor
dealers from $o5 to Sl2, and OF the tux on
dealers OF manufactured tobacco from s. to
- so The bill also provides for reduc.
ton OF the tax on cigars from Sc to IS
per thousand. This provision will
cause reduction Of about 33,O00,0O0.
When the bill is being considered
an effort will be made to add clause re-
ducing the tax on distilled spirits TO fifty
cents n gallon, and on manufactured to-
bacco to eight cents Both will probably
fail. An effort will also be made to abolish
the tax on leaf tobacco sold by the pro.
duccr to any one save licensed dealer.
Should it prevail, it would be almost fatal
to those manufacturing tobacco. If the tax
OIL manufactured tobacco is reduced, the
time will be fixed FIR enough ahead to al.
lay agitation, and there will, no doubt, be
also provision for rebate for tax-paid
goods in the hands OF dealers, --=-z4
