Trained Fish.

Fish have many times been taught &c
perform tricks, and it would appear as
if they had much more intelligence than
is attributed to them. Mr.. J. A. Bailey
of circus fame once had two brook trout
in a small aquarium in his private resi-
dence that would jump out of the water
and take flies held between the forefingel
and thumb and would also ring q little
bell when they required food. They
would also leap over little bars of Wood
placed about two inches above the sur
face of the water.
1t is very simple matter to teach the
fish these tricks. At first a little tower
containing a tiny, sweet toned silver bell
was fastened to the iron work of the
aquarium with piece of string attached
to the tongue of the bell extending into
the water where tine trout We're. On the
loose end of the string an insect or other
tempting mOrsel was placed, which the
fish would at once seize, and pulling tbs
cord the bell in the tower would natu-
rally tinkle. After this had been re-
peated several days the fish We're left
without food for some little time until
they made the discovery that they could
obtain it by pulling at the string to
which the delicacies had been attached.
This they never failed to do ever after.
ward when they We're hungry and as
that was nearly all the time the little
bell was constantly tingling as the fish
were continually pulling the cord. and
it was quite pretty and novel sight

Various Sources of silk.

silk worms are not the sole source of
the production of silk: it is also obtained
from several vegetable substances, but
of an inferior and less durable descrip-
ton. Excellent colored silk is obtained
from the prepared and finer fibers of the
bamboo, which is much in demand for
clothing in tropical countries from its
lightness and porosity. Another form of
silk is obtained from the pods of the silk
cotton tree, of which there are several
varieties in existence, the material OBJ
tanned from them being known as vege-
table silk.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Capt. Alexander Horn is at present So

Capt. Horn has had many remarkable

II was stricken with paralysis of the
left side in 1856, and have since that
time, been under the treatment of many
physicians and tried various remedies.
Il could not in all the years that have
passed, since stricken, lift my left foot
from the floor.
Il commenced taking DR.. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy and I
am now able to walk without a cane,
having good use of my foot and side,
SO long useless. DIR. Greene's Nervura

of my terrible trouble.'5

1t is for this reason that DIR. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy is now
used so extensively in hospitals and so
widely recommended by physicians for
the cure of disease.
But do not wait until you are actually
paralyzed before using this great remedy.
Paralysis is always the result of neglect
ing the first symptoms. Use this medi-
cine when the first symptoms appear,
and you can always ward off paralysis,
nervous debility and nervous and physi-
cal prostration.
Take it if you have a weak and tired
feeling with WEAKNESS of the limbs,
numbness, trembling, palpitation of the
heart, prickling sensation in fingers or
toes, headaches, dull feeling head, con-
fused mind, loss of memory. Above all
you need it if you are sleepless, and wake
tired and unrefreshed mornings, have
little or no appetite for breakfast, and
feel dull and out of spirits. 1t will over
come indigestion and dyspepsia, regu-
late the bowels aud cure liver and kidney
complaints. 1t is the best blood enricher
and invigorator in the world.
1t is purely vegetable aud perfectly
harmless, and should you be suffer e.

found it had been burned. with about
$50 worth of grub. The tent, clothes,

$3.50. This sort of lawlsssness should be
