CURIOUS FISH.
Keep Their Eggs In Their Mouths-Their
Natural pOckets

In the sea Of Galilce--or Lake Tiberias,
as it is also called-there is a strange fish
named the Chromis simonis, which is more
careful of its young than fish generally
are. The male takes the eggs in his mouth
and keeps them in his natural side peck
cts, where they arc regularly Matched and
ROMAN until able to shift for themselves
BY this ingenious arrangement the brood
is comparatively guarded against its nat
ural enemies. 1t is easily fed, too, but it is
a puzzle how the little ones escape being
eaton alive. \ month ago, says a traveller
writing to religious contemporary. l
found in my net IA number of these fish
without eyes.
Others of the species, when lifted them
up, dropped Il number of little fishes out
of their mouths, which swan away hasti-
~. Tho natives explained the phenomenon.
Tho blind chromis is the victim of sea
hawks. When these birds have eaten their
fill, they begin TO look out for tidbits
After catching "a fish they hit its forehead
with their sharp bcak, knocking out the
middle part, in which their eyes are set.
Tho bcny structure is dropped into the
water but the eyes are eaten by the birds
with great relish. Strangely enough, the
fish generally survive this rough treat
ment. The wound heals up quickly in wa
ter, and they continue to ply the lake for
food as if nothing had happened. Pail

KNITTING STOCKINGS.
Formerly Prosaic Occupation Is Now
Chased as Fashionable Fancy Work.

Knitting stockings is quite the fashion
able fancy work of the day, and the varied
patterned "tops" render the task very in
teresting. particularly when new design
]; worked out from directions for the first
time. An elaborate top" in two, three or
even four colors, with "a plain, heavily
ribbed stocking is the most popular style
Just now, although many skillful knitters
continue design throughout an entire
stocking with as many as 20 balls or
more of different colored yarn. The in
tricacies of ''top" alone, however, are
generally sufficient to satisfy the ambition
of most knitters the plain leg being a well
come relief after the close attention neces-
sary to follow the pattern of the ''top" or
turnover.
One of the prettiest patterns for the lat
ter is the basket top" which consists Of
two colors apparently plated together like
a basket, and for which a writer in the
New York Tribune gives the following
directions, the sign X meaning to repeat
from X: Cast on 100 stitches; knit one
round plain, rib two and two for s rows
with original color, knit l, turn and purl 1,
knit 2, turn and purl 2, knit 8, turn and
purl 3, knit 4, turn and purl 4, knit 5,
turn and purl 5. Repeat all around stock
ing until there are 20 groups of five stitch
cs each. Turn and take contrasting color,
X, pick up stitches, purling turn and
knit 5. Turn and purl 5, and, together
with the fifth stitch, pick up stitch of con-
trasting color of next group and knit them
together. Continue in this way until all
the stitches of the contrasting group are
taken off, then pick up 5 more stitches,
purling, and repeat from X all around
stocking. DO the same with next color,
the original color only taking up tho
stitches of the knitting side.
To end the pattern take up 8 stitches,
knitting off the original color, and togeth-
er with the 5 stitches knit of contrasting
color, purl back 4, leaving stitch on nee
die; knit stitches, purl back 3, leaving 2
stitches on needle; knit 8, taking one of
the original color with the third. Knit
back and knit =, knitting one of the 9th
er group with the second stitch. Purl back
/, knit l, together with the other group.
Repeat all around the stocking.

BICYCLE WITH ELECTRIC MOTOR.

no lhtlgulnS cxertlon on his part. Such at

motor just brought out by young Irish
electrician of New York city. The NV
York Herald explains that the bicycle
with its electrical equipment weighs "a
pounds and is capable of carrying $50
pounds for q hours at the rate of 30 miles
AN hour, The power is derived from an
accumulator storage battery placed under
the saddle, which is connected with a small
motor. The motor is joined to the rear
wheel by Il woven silk belt. The current
is controlled by push buttons located near
the handle bars. 1t is also equipped with

pcrience of thousands has made 1t an in
diSputablc fact. Consumption is not a dis
ease of the lungs. 1t is a disease of the
blood. which in weak lunged people man
ifests itself by the formation of tubercles
i'll the lungs aud the wasting away of lung
tissue. The cure for consumption is simple.
II consists in the administration of a nedi-
cine that will assist the lungs i'll throwing
off tuhefculous matter, and that will cleanse
the system so that this refuse matter will be
replaced by strong, healthy tissues. That
sounds like very simple operation, and
yet consumption baffled the combined med
ical skill of the whole world for hundreds
of years. Consumption was considered in
durable until the advent of Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. This great
remedy is the most wonderful blood purifier
and strengthencr that the world has ever
known. II is the result of years of study
and experiment, by a scientific physician
and has been tested in every way by him
for over 30 years. 1t has an unbroken
record of success. 1t cures great variety
of diseases, because almost all diseases
have their origin and support in impurity
and veal ness of the blood. As long as a
mans blood is rich and pure, he is in no
danger from diseases. The blood is the
medium through which food is carried fror,
the digestive system to all of the tissues OF
the body. If it carries impure things, or
an insufficient quantity of good things,
trouble will e4lsue. There is nothing about
that SO very hard to understand. It is per-
fectly plain and natural and rational. The
Golden Medical Discovery puts the di-
ges,ive system in perfect order, purihes
and enriches the blood and SO puts the
whole body into perfect tune.
