Origin of the Menhaden rndns+ru

Mr.. Robert F. Walsh, in the Popular
Science Monthly, thus reca lis the origin
OF the present menhaden industry. r.
was IN 1850 when an old ladv. Mrs
John Bartlett, of Bluehill. Me-. boiling
some fish for her chickens, observed q
thin scum of oil upon the surface Of
the water. Some of this she bottled
and when on visit to Boston soon
after, carried samples to a leading oil
merchant, who encouraged her to BRING
more. The following year the Bartlett
1amlly 1ndustriously applied their gill
nets and sent to market thirteen bar
sells OF oil, for which they were paid at
the rate OF eleven dollars Der barrel
In the following year this family made
one hundred barrels. Then the va1no
OF menhaden oil having become recog-
n1zed, many oil presses-of more or
less imperfect construction-we es-
tabllshed along the coast, and the in
dustry developed SO rapidly that with
IN twenty years the yield of menhaden
oil exceeded that Of the whale from the
American fisheries.

MUSHROOM DRUNkARDS.
The Fungus Used In Asia and Scotland to
Promote Intoxication.

The Fungus Used In ASH and Scotland to
Promote Intoxication.
The inhabitants of the northeastern
part of Asia use a mushroom to pro-
mote intoxication. It is known, SAYS
the Chicago Tribune, as the f1y-blown
mushroom, and is also very abundant
in Scotland. The fungus is gathered
in the hottest part of the year, and Is
then hung up by string in the open
air to dry. Some are dry before gath
cred, and these are stated to be far
more narcotic than those artifcially
preserved. Usually the fungus is rolled
up like a bolus and taken without chew
ing; for, if masticated, it is said to dis
order the stomach.
One large or two small fungi produce
what is looked upon as pleasant state
of intoxication for one day. The effect
is the same as that produced on taking
a quantity of spirits or wine, except
that it is delayed from one to two hours
after the bolus is swallowed. At first
it produces very cheerful emotions of
the mind. 1t renders some persons ex-
ceedingly active, and it is a stimulant
to muscular exertion; thus, If a person
affected by it wishes to step over a
straw or small stick, it impels him to
take jump sufficient to clear low
hedge or the trunk of tree; it keeps
those fond of music perpetually sing
ing, and under its influence talkative
person can neither keep secrets nor
silence for any length of time.

which seeks to enable Jersey City to COM

Berry introduced No. 43, which authorizes
freeholders. jointly, to construct and main
tain bridges over manageable waters dividing
counties. Mr.. Waltres appears to be the
champion of free text books in the public
schools and introduced another bill for that
purpose. Mr.. Coyle wants the non
resident wholesalers of %spirituous, malt
or brewed liquors who come into
this State to do business to
take out a $3.50 license. Mr.. Coyle also intro

PENNsY STILL FIGHTING.

The legal squabble over the Point of Rocks
dispute between the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company and the National Docks Storage
Company came up before Vice-Chancellor
Van Fleet this morning. AS the case now
stands the National Docks Company are on
the defence. The company procured an in
junction restraining the Pennsylvania Com
pany from interfering with the work of con-
structing a tunnel under their tracks at the
Point of Rocks. This was granted, but the
Pennsylvania Railroad, like Goldsmith's
schoolmaster, although beaten could argue
still, . and Ex-Governor J. D. Bedle for that
corporation took up the major part of
yesterday arguing on a cross-bill why the
National Docks Company should not be re-
strained from placing piling on the Penn
sylvania Company's property. Pending the
result of this bill and cross-bin the work was
stopped. This morning Counsellor j. Emory,
with Messrs. e. L. Corbin and j. d. Thomp-
son for the National Docks Company, began
to tell the Vice-C Chancellor how necessary it
is that these piles are placed there for the
continuance of the tunnelling operations.
These gentlemen insinuate that the cross-bill
is only a trick of the P. r. r. to delay the
construction of the new road of the National
Docks and N. j. j. r. c.. Co.

And something sweet is everwhere
yThe sweetness of the fugue is illustrated
by a magazine writer by applying it to some
of the ancient psalmody. For instance,
there was the old fugue-I love to steal

stir up this stupid heart to pray,n or the
less familiar but equally amusing ones

away with the spirit of worship by these
fugues: ssAnd more eggs-and more eggs

The Boxing and Wrestling Championship
Committee, Messrs. William B. Curtis and
James E. Sullivan, nave been negotiating
for some time for a suitable hall wherein the
annual boxing and wrestling championships
of the United States could be held. After a
great deal of preliminary work final arrange
ments were made with Mr.. F. W. Sanger of
the Madison Square Garden Company where
by the A. A. U. will hold its annual boxing
and wrestling championship in the amphh
theatre of Madison Square Garden on Satur-

Madison Square Garden is without doubt
the finest place that could be selected, and as
this is the first amateur boxing and wrest-
ling championship that ever took place there
the meeting will no doubt be a grand success
in every particular.
Manager Sanger will send notice to each
of the athletic clubs stating that boxes and
reserved seats can be reserved for them in
advance.

LOOK OUT FOR IT!
Physicians Are Expecting A Great
Epidemic.
WHAT DIR. EDISON SAYS.
BE On Your Guard If You Value Your
Health and Happiness-Where to
Find the ounce of Prevention.

DR.. Cyrus Edison, one of the greatest phys
icians in America, states positively that
we may expect another grip epidemic before
the spring months begin. His reason for
thinking 50 is that we have had about the
sort of weather for grip, including changes
of temperature, muggy atmosphere, heat and
cold. There are also other sure signs. People
everywhere are complaining ofscoughs, colds
and chills. They are sneezing continually
feel weak and rundown. Sickness is certain
ly increasing, and every day a long list of
fatal cases of pneumonia is reported. Such
alarming facts must receive attention from
every person who values life and health. 1t
is only by exercising the greatest care that
these dangers can be avoided.
But, you ask, what is the secret Of avoiding
them? There is but one secret, and that is
by keep the kidneys and liver in good work
ing order. When these great organs do not
act properly, grip and other deadly diseases
can easily take a firm hold upon us, When
they do act properly, grip can be kept at
bay.
It is now admitted by the best physicians,
professors and advanced thinkers the
world over that nothing has ever been dis
covered that can this purpose OF
keeping the kidneys and liver in perfect con-
dition except the great remedy known as
Warmers Safe Cure. This great preparation
has been tested thoroughly for the past
twenty years, and has never failed to pre-
vent the coming on of grip, pneumonia and
the terrible dangers which follow in their
wake. Thousands of names could be given
of those who found this to be true, and it has
become so wonderfully popular entirely
upon its merits.
But while this great cure will invariably
prevent an attack of the grip If taken in
time, it has an equally great record owing to
the great cures it has performed. From one
end of the land to the other this subtle dis
ease, with its terrible after effects, has been
entirely overcome by this great remedy. See
what few have to say.
Mr.. j. A. Calls, Dickinson, Md, says:
"I was taken in Chicago with the grip. ]
took m~any,remedies, but got no better. At
last / tried Warmers Safe Cure taking a
teaspoonful of every thirty minues, when
the phlegm broke loose and I raised guam
titles of 1t, and am happy to say l have been
restored to complete health"
"Mr. T. Murphy, Flushing, N. Y, says
Il had a severe attack of grip which left me
very weak and unfit for work. Doctors could
not help me, and it is due to the use of War
ner's Safe Cure that l am a well man today
The list could be prolonged indefinitely but
enough has been said to show that no man or
woman need suffer from grip in any one OF
its terrible forms:if only the first symptoms
are noted and the right remedy is used.
