WALKING FISH.
They Have the Power of Using the Fins

They Have the Power of Using the Fins
as Feet or Legs.
The ability OF % fish to retain its vi
tality out OF water depends in great
degree upon its ability to keep the
delicate tissues OF its gills wet and
this ability Is increased. in few
species. by means OF n peculiar con-
struction in the head in which water
is retained after tho fish Is taken out
OF river or lake; the gills being kept
wet by percolation from this reservoir
Some such species have also the power
of using the lower fins as feet or legs.
the Youths Companion says. are en-
abled by these two singular gifts OF
nature to pass over land from ono
body OF water to another.
A correspondent in Province We'll
lesley--as quoted in the American
Anglers Book"-relates that while
passing along during shower OF rain.
the wide, sandy plain which bounds
the sea coast in the neighborhood Of
Panaga he witnessed u singular over
land migration of kan Puyu, from a
chain Of fresh water lagoons toward q
second chain OF lagoons, about 100
yards distant.
The fish were in groups Of from
three to sevon. and were Epursuing
their way in direct line. at the rate
OF nearly mile an hour. When dis
turbed they turned and made an effort
to make their way back to the lagoon
they had left and would very soon
have reached it had they not been So
cured by the Malays who accompanied
the teller OF tho story. and. who
looked upon the migration as an or
binary occurrence at that season OF
the year.
Upward of twenty were thus taken
during walk OF about half u mile.
and no doubt many more could have
been obtained had the Malays been
given time.
The ground these fish were travers-
ing was nearly level and only scantily
clothed with grass and creeping plants,
which offered very slight obstruction
to their progress
Sir Emerson Tennent mentions the
fact that he has seen fishes walking
across the country. In India writer
speaks OF fish that by making an ex-
traordinary use OF their fms can climb
trees.

Land OF Ants and Scorpions, Heat and

1t Is reported OF John Randolph. OF
Roanoke. that when the purchase Of
Florida from the Spanish government
was under discussion in the house he
cried out from the floor Of congress.
in his high. harsh voice: '.Mr.
Speaker. l am opposed to the measure.
Florida - not worth buying. 1t is a
land of swamps. OF quagmires. of frogs
and alligators and mosquitoes! A
man. sir, would not immigrate into
Florida. No. sir. No man would i'm
migrate into Florida-no not from
hell itself!''
This frank opinion seems to have
been. in measure. shared by those
officers OF the army and navy who
were sent into Florida during the
Seminole troubles for they certainly
found there but little OF the charm and
glamor which makes it now such a
paradise to the thousands who rush
there every year in search OF all the
lavish shine and glitter OF summer in
the depth of winter Ordered to

fought clear through the war In the

more than fifty battles in good shape
and wearing a major-generars uni
form. After narrating some OF his
most terrific deeds. he said:
Yet with all his dash and daring
the old man was not impetuous. In

Is SAID that in his entire career he

New style Of Coon aunttn<.

The inhabitants of the mountains west
of this place are great coon hunters.
Some nights ago Bill Benchoff and
Colonel Yingling started out with half
dozen dogs and two boys to carry the
pine torches. coon was raised on the
east side of the Monterey; and the dogs
chased it down through a deep and
rough ravine and mp rocky spur on
the west. After a climb of an hour
Benchof and YinSling at last came up
with the dogs. They had run the coon
into a tree and were snarling and bark
ing around underneath. The boys
whirled the torches and Benchoff banged
away at what he thought was the coon
but no animal tumbled.
Yingling in the meantime had been
tearing paper and trying to ignite a
match. but it was damp and would only
splutter. Benchof was deriding him
when suddenly great ball of fire ilu-
minated Space Yingling had succeeded
in igniting his match and was emptyine
a roman candle into the tree.
The first ball struck branch and
burst and the second hit the coon
plumb center Its fur caught fire
and with yell it came rolling down
among the angry dogs. The third ball
revealed two more coons in the tree, and
Benchof's rifle dropped one, while Ying-
ling, with the last ball in the candle, hit
the limb ON which the third coon chung
with pitiful terror, and it lost its hold
and tumbled into the mouths of the
waiting dogs.
They got six more coons that night
with the help of Yingling's candles, and
now the colonel regularly shoots the
romans and Benchof shoots the gun.
They are the most successful coon hunt
ers IN all the region.-G Gettysburg pa

me ou,ehes. way 90 Cure a Cold.

Do you wish to know the quickest way
10 cure coldf We will tell you. To
care cold quickly, it must be treated
before the cold has become settled in the
system. The first symptoms of cold
is dry, loud cough and sneezing. The
sough is soon followed by watery ex-
pectoration and the ,sneezing by pro-
1use watery discharge from the nose. In
severe cases there is a thin white coating
on the tongue. What to do2 1t is only
necessary to take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy in double does every hour.
That will greatly lessen the severity of
the cold and in many cases will efectu-
ally counteract it, and cure what would
have been a severe cold within one or
two days time. Try it and be convinced
