What Has Your Goldfish Eaten 2

Mere people know of the virtue OF
cod liver oil than know in what that
virtue consists. It is not that there IS
any peculiar health-giving qualities
about the vital tissues OF the codhsh
any more than in those OF any other
fish or ofland animals.
The virtue of cod liver oil, it is de-
clared, depends wholly on the food
which the Goldfish has eaten, and If the
cod has not fed on the right food, his
liver will not yield oil of any more
benefit to the victim of consumption
or an@mia than any other fish oil.
The best cod liver oil is obtained
from cod that have fed on kelp. sea
weed that is not found on soft or
muddy bottoms. IT is a rock weed
and does not grow near the shore on
the American coast. Every one knows
how much better milk is given by
cows that have fed on rich pasturage
than by those whose feed has been
stale hay; and the cod that has lived
in deep water and feasted on the rich,
juicy and aromatic KEEL p is altogether q
different fish from the one that has
lived near shore and eaten clans and
mussels, diet that no self-respecting
fish Will touch at all when it can have
anything else.
Thus the oil from cod caught near
the shore is practically worthless,
while that made from deep sea cod is
one of the most nourishing and health
giving of foods. The best cod liver
oil comes from Norway, where all the
cod are rockbottom fish and live ex-
clusively on kelp and similar sea weed.

Raw Salmon Poisonous to Dogs.

A sportsman wishes to know if any
one has a cure for snlmoned dogs. He
has n young dog which promises to be
a good one, and as salmon are soon to
be up the creeks he wants to be pre-
pared. There is no specific cure for
salmoned dogs. In general, an ounce
OF prevention is worth pound OF
cure. Keep the dog away from SAL
mon, if possible, but if he succeeds in
poisoning himself with this fish, con-
sole yourself with the idea that,
whether he lives or dies, he will never
be salmoncd again. The percentage
of saImoned dogs which are cured is
very small. Physic of any kind in
large quantities is the most effectual
remedy. 1t is supposed that the man
who said throw physio to the dogs"
referred to dogs which had been sal
moned. 1t may be we'll to state that
cooked salmon has no deleterious
effect on dogs. 1t is claimed by some
experts that it is only the blood of the
salmon which is poisonous to dogs;
others say the poison is in the head of
the fish. A properly trained dog
ought to eschew raw salmon, but some
dogs have a hnnkering for such i'm
proper diet. Ifpossible, keep the dog
and the salmon, in a raw condition,
apart, but if this cannot be done put
your trust IL physic. -Portland Ore

ABSOLUTELY PURE
The Algerian Desert.

We were jogging along gently
through the sand of the Sahara,
bound for the black tents of Ell Hsdj
Ahmed Add ell Kader ben ell Hadj
Mohammed. This is a long name /;
but then we were long time getting
there, and my memory needed exer-
else. Far away behind us stretched
the ragged ridge of the Atlas; ahead
of US nothing but gray blanket of
sand waving away into an infnity Of
shiny mist. l had seen the same sort
of thing IN Colorado. Remington said
it was Arizona all over again. People
grow silent and sensitive when they
live on the great plains, and no won
der. To the desert-dweller every
star gains in significance, every OBJ
ject that lifts its head above the
horizon. The cloud that scuds the
bird; the track of an animal; the
shape of tent; the load of camel;
the track of a man; bunch of grass;
sign of water-whstever arrests his
eye on days march speaks to him Of
nature ministering to variety of his
needs. He must have water and
grass; he must have shelter from
storms; he must avoid dangerous
gullies; must watch for signs OF wild
beasts; must anticipate the ambus h
of an enemy-and with it all use
heaven AS his guide, with its sun by
day and stars by night. The traveller
of the desert plains is never without
occupation; his eyes are sweeping the
horizon without interruption, and he
picks his way by the help of a judg-
ment constantly exercised-for the
Arab knows no roads which are not
unmade by one puff of sand.
1t was little that we saw in the
shape of humanity-a camel train now
and then bearing dates ana wool from
the interior, the camels swinging
along with irritating regularity, feed
ing as they moved, and treading
gently, as though on rotten ground.
The drivers eSed us inadvertently, and
I telt comfort in rejecting that France
supported $4,000 soldiers in Algeria
for the express purpose of making
our journey safe. The caravans were
escorted by Arab horsemen in white
burnooses, perched high upon tough
and springy mustangs. Each horse
man had his gun balancing across his
saddle bow, and looked at us as though
repeating imprecations from the
Koran. -Harper's Magazine.

Killed BY a Tnorn.Scratch.

Mrs. Mary Damon died at tbs home
of her son, John Bannon, about four
teen miles north of Nevada, No, from
the scratch of rose thorn. She was
ninety-two years and six months old,
and was, up to last Friday morning, in
good health. That morning she was
working in her rose bed and stratched
the back of her finger on the right
hand on briar. The hand soon be-
came swollen, which spread to the
shoulder, and the hand and arm be-
came discolored. She fingered in
agony from that time until her death.
Mrs. Bannon lived out of any church
up to about one year ago, when she
united with the Christian Church.
This fact created such sensation that
the neighbors for miles around turned
out to witness the immersion in Tucker
Lake, near her home.-New York

THE DLUEFIELDs INCIDENT.

Prominent among the questions OF the
year was the Biue1elds incident, in what
Is known rs the Mosquito Indian Strip,
bordering on the Atlantic Ocean and
within the jurisdiction of Nicaragua. By
the treaty of 1860 between Great Britain
and Nicaragua the former Government
expressly recognized the sovereignty Of
the latter over the Strip, and a limited
form OF sef-government was guaranteed
to the Mosquito Indians, to be exercised
according to their customs, for them
selves and ether jewellers within its
limits. The so-called native Government
for many years disputed the sovereignty Of
Nicaragua over the Strip and claimed
the right to maintain therein a prac-
tically Independent municipal Govern
ment. Ear,y in the past year efforts
OF Nicaragua to maintain sovereignty
over the Mosquito territory led to
serious disturbances, eliminating in the
suppression of the native Government
and the attempted substitution CT
an lmpracticabIe composite administration
in which Nicaragua and alien residents wore
to participate Failure was followed by IN
Instruction which for a time subver; ed
Nicaraguan rule, eXpclling her officers and
restoring the old organization. This, in
turn, gave place to the existing local gov
eminent established and upheld by Mic
aragua.
Although the alien interests arrayed
against Nicaragua in these transactions have
been largely American, and the commerce OF
that region for some time has been and still
is chiefly controlled by our citizens, we can
not for that reason challenge the rightful
sovereignty of Nicaragua over this impOr-
tan: part OF her domain.

REPEATING DISCRIMINATING DUTIES.

The German Government has protested
against that provision Of the customs tariff
act which imposes a discriminating duty of
one-tenth of one cent a pound on sugars
coming from countries paying an export
bounty thereon, claiming that the exaction
of such duty is in contravention OF articles
five and nino OF the treaty of 1928 with Prus-
STA.
In the interests Of the commerce of both
countries and to avoid even the accusation
OF treaty violation, l recommend the appeal
of so much of the statue as imposes that
duty, and invite attention to the accom-
panying report of the Secretary of State con-
tanning discussion of the questions raised
by the German protests.

TURKEYS TREATMENT OF MISSIONARIES.

or otherwise punished for no other reason
than having acquired without Imperial con-
sent American citizenship.
