Consumptives should use food as nourishinR
as can be had, and in a shape that will best
agree with the stomach and taste of the pa
tient.
ut-door exercise is earnestly recommended.
II you are unable TO take such exercise on
horseback or on foot, that should furnish no
excuse for shutting yourself indoors, but you
should take exercise in a carriage, or in some
other way bring yourself in contact with the
open air.
Medicines which cause expectoration must
be avoided. For five hundred years ply
sicians have tried to cure Consumption by
using them, and have failed. Where there is
great arrangement of the secretions, with
engagement of air-cells, there is always
profuse expectoratiOn. Now Piso's Cure re-
moves the engagement and the arrangement
OF the secretions, and consequently (and in
this way only diminishes the amount of mat
ter expectorated. This medicine does not dry
up a cough, but removes the cause of it.
When it is impossible from debility or other
causes to exercise freely in the open air, apart
ments occupied by the patient should be so
ventilated as TO ensure the constant accession
of fresh air in abundance.
The surface Of the body should be sponged
as otten as every third day with tepid water
and little soft-soap, This is preferable to
friction with the hand moistened with oil
Cod-Liver or Olive is the best. This keeps the
pores OF the skin in a soft, pliable condition.

A School of Fish.

James Smith, of Clark's Harbor, N. S.,
caught fish and found in its stomach
mouse, recently swallowed.
Dick Holman and Alexander James
caught forty pound catfish in sub
merged hollow log in a stream near New
London, Mo. More than 1000 pounds
of fish have been caught in this hollow
log during the last three years.
A Milwaukee man caught black bass
weighing three pounds in Okauchee lake,
Wisconsin. He cut open the bass from
the gills downward and then held it in
the water a moment. The ''split" fish
sprang away from its captor and swan
off, disappearing beneath the surface of
the water.
Captain Levi Shields, of Corydon,
Ind, has a carp pond near his house.
When he wants to feed the fish he goes
to the pond and rings a small bell. In
stantly the fish from all parts of the pond
start for the feeding place and gather in
great numbers near the shore, where they
fight for food as it is thrown to them.
Eckstrom, the Rev. NJ. Moller, and
other writer's assert that the flesh of a
pike which has been struck by a bird
will heal with the talons of the bird in
its back, while the bird becomes con
verted into a skeleton which is carried
about by the pike. One skeleton which
had long been exhibited by a pike in
Lake Wetter had acquired a greenish
tinge and was regarded by the fishermen
as harbinger of misfortune. Another
skeleton carried by a pike in Lake
Frysdale was known to the fishermen as
a watersprite and they fed from it in
fear. The pike was finally killed aud
the watersprite proved to be the skeleton
of sea eagle.

A Young Lady Saved by Telegraph.
A dispatch from Kingston, n. y,
Dec. 20, says Miss Ora Misner, aged
81 years, daughter Of George MisneT,
a well known farmer residing at Big
Indian. a small hamlet a few miles
from Kingston, took an ounce Of lau-
danum at 10 o'clock Saturday morning,
The parents of the girl went at once
to the railway station to telegraph DR..
Schley, at Pine Hill. three miles west,
to come quickly. The operator work
ing the Big Indian wire in the main
office Of the Western Union telegraph
company in New York. having over
heard the message %summohing DR..
Schley, asked the operator at Big In
dian about the case. Learning the sit
uation Of affairs and approaching
the necessity Of immediate medical
treatment, he consulted with two
brother operators on duty at the time
who had graduated from medical col
lege in New York. These two opera
tors then told the Big Indian operator
what remedies should be applied, and
gave full directions as to treatment,
tic. Following their directions, pow
erful emetics we're administered, which
proved effective. They also prescribed
vigorous rubbing and whipping with
small twigs to keep the girl awake.
DR.. Schley, who had arrived an hour
later, said the girls life could not have
been saved had not she been treated so
promptly. This morning Miss Misner
was pronounced TO be out Of imme
date danger. Her eason for attempt
ing suicide is unknown, but it is sup
posed that her effort at self-destruction
resulted from a love affair.

1t has been discovered that a tall,
vicious looking mulatto was seen in
Kemper's grocery early this morning,
and that he had been coming there for
several mornings for a drink. 1t is
also known that Kemper had said he
was afraid of that man. From the
