4 D.RY-LAND FISH,

G. T. Holder tells Of how, some
years ago, q detachment of troops
doing duty in Africa, came upon a
level stretch of country, perfectly dry
and devoid Of the least suspicion Of
moisture, yet while they were digging
holes for the posts of their tents one
Of the number unearthed a fish, dry
as chip-a long, eel-like member OF
the finny tribe, coiled in 8 ball, SEEM
ingly encased in mud cocoon. The
fish was supposed to be mummified
and taken as . curiosity. Finally,
after lapse Of several weeks, it fell
into the hands of a naturalist, who
placed it in water. The mud Of the
cocoon slowly dissolved; the fish gave
gasp and was soon swimming about
at lively rate Here was a singular
example of fish living out of water
1t belonged to group known as lung
fishes" the members Of which have
the peculiar faculty Of migrating over
laud and of being able to exist not
merely for days but for months out Of
the water. At certain seasons the
small lakes and ponds Of the Ozark
Continent" dry up, and, were it not
for some provision which enable these
FISH to live through this dry season it
is evident that they would have long
since became extinct. In this case,
as in all others whose nature is inter-
ested, provision, have been made by
which this curious fish either creeps
overland to other streams or lives III q
mi-desiccated state until the return
of the wet season.

a Fatal Mistake.

Phycisians make no more fatal
mistake than when they inform pa
tients that nervous heart troubles
come from the stomach and are of
little consequence. DR.. Franklin
Miles, the noted Indiana specialist,
has proven the contrary in his new
book on "Heart Disease" which may
be had free at VIM. Clegg's drug
store who guarantees and recommends
DR.. Miles unequaled New Heart Cure,
which has the largest sale Of any heart
in the world. Il cures ner-
vous and organic heart disease, short
breath, huttering, pain or tenderness
in the side, arm or shoulder, irregular
pulse, faint;ng, smothering, dropsy,
etc. His Restorative Nervine cures

QUEER RELIGIOUS SLCTS IN
RUSSIA.

NJ. Tsakni, Russian writer, has
published an intererting work upon
the curious religious sects of Russia,
from which it appears that there are
not less than Is, 100000 followers Of
insane and cranky notions in that en-
pire. These communities of devout
and deluded Christians are constantly
springing up in spite of all efforts of
Russian despots to keep them down.
One of these sects is called the
Runaways. They fly from their viii
lagos and towns as soon as they en-
brace the new faith, seeking to des-
troy their identity as much as possible
and henceforth live as savages. They
return as near to mans primitive con-
dition as possible; regard civilization
as the greatest of curses, and make
the robbing Of churches one Of their
most sacred duties.
Another sect call themselves
Christs. They worship each other, a
crazy species Of dancing being their
StiiCi SClSLIoLt
The skopsys, another religious body
believe in self-mutilation, but will not
submit to amputation, although know
ing that life. may be saved thereby.
Like the Christs, they are expert
dancers. Besides dancing and yelling
for hours without intermission, they
add midnight acrobatic performance
to their ceremony, many Of the tricks
and contortions being difficult in the
extreme: The Dumb Boys are anoth-
er of these curious sects. Why they
are called Dumb Boys no one seems
to know, The sect is composed Of
both sexes, old men being in the ma
iority. Some of these deluded old
patriarchs are known to have kept
their vow of silence for more than q
half century.
M. Souckeliff is the leader of sect
which breaches suicide as an absolute
necessity for salvation. At one Of
his great "revivals' in Kief lie preach
ed so hard in favor Of murder and
suicide that several Of his followers
cut each others throats. There are
dozens of other fanatical religious
bodies in the benighted Empire fthe
Gar, many of whom practice blood
curdling sacrifcial ceremonies.

"Well, | know you haven't; there's
a peach inside of that seed, and the

that, instead Of growing the seed on

THE DIFFERENCE.
IFrom the New Delta.

Another peculiarly Of the lottery
smell -hinners', is that they love tosp1al
of the amount for which it is offered 81

do not like to talk about "51 ,250oQ0
| wear, nearly as we'll as they like NJ
about 1881 ,250, 900 in twenty five yea5aSs ss
They much prefer to talk about th0zsa III
ger amount This suits US exactly h N
like to talk about the larger amount allss1 81
We are ready to meet them on thass
ground Let us see what will be the re-
suit of twenty-five years Of the lottery,
expressed in dollars and cents.
AS we have said before, there are 1UJ
shops, about, in this city where the
written tickets for the daily drawing are
sold. and their receipts average about
$50 a day. They are open and sell ala
days i'll the year, This makes q grand to-
tai in year for written tickets ID the
daily drawing of 81, sol, $50. In twenty
five years this would amount to the sum.
of $50, 79S, ,T5o or SIS, 548, $50 more than
Morris proposes to pay for the whole
franchise. He proposes to COLLECT from
the people of this city alone foreyen the
lotteryites will have to admit that every
dollar for the daily drawing is paid pr
the people of this city) the entire amount
which he proposes to pay to the state.
together with eight and half million
dollars to pay him for the trouble Of col.
lecting it.
We can safely assume that the amount
received in a year for the printed tickets
for the daily drawing is at least $500, 600 4
The lottery itself admits that seven per
cent of the amount received for the
monthly drawing tickets comes from the
people of Louisiana. The total price OF g
the monthly drawing tickets for the
twelve drawings in the year is. $28, O00,-$
GOO. Seven per cent of this is ST SEQ -i
GOO Now add together the ST, ,591, 800
fonsa years sale of written daily drawing
tickets, and $500, 900 for a years sale Of
the printed daily drawing tickets, and the
81, 900, 900 which the lottery itself admits
it gets from Louisiana s people for month
ly tickets, and we get the sum Of 50, ,O51
800 each year, which in twenty five ears
amounts to the sum of S101 1877 500,
which the lottery itself is bound to admit:
that it will get from the people of this
State alone in the twenty-five years for
which it asks a charter.
When " e compare this sum which the
lottery papers and the lottery orators are
SO fond Of talking about, S31 $50, ,0o0, the
latter does not seem SO enormous as it did
before we figured out what the lottery
would get out Of the people to whom It
proposed to pay it's thirty millions By
the lottery's own figures, at the end OF
twenty-five years Louisiana would be on
the wrong side of the balance sheet to
the amount of ST. 047 800.

AN EXPERT WHO WAS
FOOLED.

Thomas Carvalho, the treasury ex-
pert, who is said to be the best Judge
of money in the world, was recently
sent to Birmingham, Ala, to testify
as an expert in a counterfeit case.
He explained to the jury the secret
marks on the silver dollar, viz: the
two MS"
Drawing from his pocket a handful
of coins, he left the witness stand and
walked over to the jury box. If you
will look at these dollars very careful
~" he said, "you will observe the
marks to which | alluded" He then
distributed the dollars among the ju-
rers and asked them to examine the
coins.
After studying awhile all but three
Of the jurors were able to make out
the minute "Ms."
Then expert Carvalho smilingly
volunteered to point out the secret
initials to the three gentlemen whose
eyes were not acute enough to detect
them. Taking the three coins in his
hand, be glanced at him casually.
A puzzled look overspread his features
he closely serutinized the dollars,
walking to the window to get the ben
eft of a clearer light. Then he turn
ed to the jury and said: "Gentlemen,
these coins will illustrate the point [
was attempting to impress upon you.
They are counterfeits.' Just before
entering the court room, Mr. Carval-
ho stepped into grocery and had q
$50 bill changed in order to get
enough dollars to pass among the jur-
Fors. Three of these coins were bogus.
