ONE BITE is ENOUGH.
How Seals XIII Carp in Noted Lake
California.


How Seals XIII Carp in Noted Lake in
California.
About a year ago seventeen seals
were put into Lake MERGED to settle a
vexed question in pisciculture. They
soon settled it, did the seals. by biting
n large chunk out of each and every
fish and swallowing the chunks with
mingled snorts of defiance and delight.
After each bite the carp complained of
a feeling of goneness in the region of
the stomach. This was not surprising.
as the seal invariably removed large
and juicy piece from the under side of
the fish midway between the head and
tail
That was all the seal wanted, and
when it had secured enough of these
tidb for meal score or more earn
were left without any vitals to speak
of In this manner the seventeen seals
thrivcd and grew fat. The carp is a
mud fish; it roots and burrows and
loves 10 stir up the mud as a ward
roundcr loves to stir up strife at a
primary election. Finally the Spring
Valley people concluded that the situa-
ton demanded Intervention, diplomati-
cally speaking, so the seventeen seals
were turned in to work their sweet will
on the carp the rest of the story is
briefly told in the words of the engineer
of the pumping works on the lake
The carp bothered us considerably"
he said. but we are about quit of them.
There were more carp than we cared TO
count around this wharf a year ago.
Goodness knows how many there were
in the lake. As soon as the seals were
put in we began TO pick up dead carp in
the daily patrol of the banks. At first
they amounted to hundreds day. All
of the carp were killed by a clean
bite. which took ont the belly part as
clean as circular saw The seals
didn't seem TO care for anything else
1t is the same to-day, only we pick up
one dead carp now where we picked up
one hundred then. Every carp has a
piece bitten out in the sa me place and
In the same way. We gather up and
bury all the rest My idea is that the
seal knows the carp is bony fish and
doesn't stop to finish. knowing he can
get square meal off the next GUS
toner. The only fear | have Is that
the seals will be starved out nj the rate
/ they are goingy Some of the carp in
the lake weigh twelve or fifteen pounds.
ii matters not whether it is a big fish
or a little Ole. the seal always takes
one bite, which cuts a clean circle out
of the midd G." The seals in lake Ner-
ced are quite at home. They mount on
the planlS and RATS and seem rather
10 enjoy the situation. Certainly they
are well fed.-San Francisco Call

Connors woke at last, with a raj !lcr
luxurious sense of weakness, with a
dim recollection Of some horrible
dream, but with feeling that it was
all over now, and that he was rather
happy ami contented than otherwise.
HIS head felt cool. and though when he
tried to raise his hands he found that
they were SO heavy he could not lift
them six inches, the discovery some
how did not cause him much anxiety.

next thing he remem bered was seeing
u familiar little face above him, framed
in the long tresses of brown hair that
hung forward as she bent over him.

ingly, as she softly stroked one of his
thin hands, and the touch was wonder
fully soothing to the invalid. Com

and kissed him.

Swinging Around the Circle

Of the diseases to which it is adapted
with the best results, Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, a family medicine, compre.
hensive in its scope, has never been
thrust upon public attention in the
guise of a universal panacea for bodily
ills. This claim, daily arrogated in.
the columns of the daily press by the
proprietors of medicines far inferior 10
it as specifics, has in a thousand in
stances disguised the public in advance
by its absurdity, and the prospects of
other remedies of superior qualities
have been handicapped by the preten-
,tions of their worthless predecessors.
But the American people know, be.
cause they have verified the fact by
the most trying tests, that the Bitters
possesses the virtues of a real specific in
cases of malarial and liver disorder,
constipation, nervous, rheumatic,
stomach and kidney trouble. What il
does 1t does thoroughly, and mainly
for this reason 1t is Endorsed and re-
commended by hosts of respectable
medical men.

About six months ago my little son, aged
three, was very much troubled with breaking
out on his scalp and behind his ear. The places
effected were about as large as a silver dollar,
the flesh seemed raw and covered with little
blisters. The child suffered considerably, and
was naturally very fretful. ltried several RENE
dies without obtaining any beneficial results,
in fact the eruptions seemed to be spreading
and new places breaking out. i concluded
TO- try the CUTICURA REMEDIES, and bought
a box of %CUTICURA, a cake of CUTICURA SOAP,
and bottle of CUTICURA REsoLvENT. washed
the effected parts with the CUTICURA SOAP,
taking care not to irritate the flesh, and applied
CUTIoURA. noticed a change for the better in
the appearance of the eruptions in twenty-four
hours. l continued the treatment morning and
night, and in two weeks the eruptions entirely
disappeared, leaving the skin smooth and the
scalp clean, In fact q perfect cure, as l have not
seen any indications of any eruption or breaking
out since. / gave the child only a few doses of
the CUTICURA REsoLvENT. | consider your
CUTIcURA REMEDiEs very valuable, and expect
to keep a small supply constantly on hand. 1
