We have beer selling the Harris
Lithia Water for some time, and find
it ready seller those who have tried
it are loud in its praise. The doctors
here regard 1t superior to either the
Buffalo or Londonderry Waters. We
predict for 1t a wonderful sale when It's
merits become more generally known.
Yours very truly,
RAYSOR & SMITH,

Asheville, n. c.. April "a, 1898.
An extended clinical use of the Har-
ris Lithia Water prompts me to the
statement that | regard it as one OF the
best, If not the best, Lithia Water
known to the profession. In the con-
dition of Phosphate Urine, its action
is marvellous. Its use in the Rheu-
matte and Gouty Diathesis afford me
more comfort than either the Buffalo
or Londonderry Waters. Very truly

One of the popular amusements os
Siam is fish fighting, just as horse rae
ing holds high place in England.
The two fighting fish are placed in q
huge bottle together, and they proceed
to take each others measure, shoulder
up to each other in schoolboy fashion
and back and push around the ring, I"
the small fins vibrating rapidly all the
time, and each little being quivering
with excitement and wrath. This goes
on for some minutes, until, as the spec
tators are growing impatient, one fish
suddenly makes dart and bite at his
adversary's tail. Henceforth there is no
hesitation until one or other gives in.
The Siamese back their fish just as
money is staked ON horses here, and
then the battle is continued until one
fish, is chased around the bottle by the
other. But this is usually an affair Of
an hour and frequently three or four.
The fish are reared specially for fight
ing and display wonderful pluck and
determination.
The tail is the part which shows most
damage, although it is very easily torn,
but good grip on the side fin is very
effective. They display considerable
agility in evading their opponents
mouth and also in suddenly twisting
round and taking piece out of its tail
In 90 minutes or so these appendages,
which looked so brave and bright as
they started TO the fray, are torn to rib
bons. Times of India.

ssAbout noon we saw beast stand
ing on mountain top looking down al

it was camel, bat Caiinus said that
the beast was q rhinooeros or unicorn.
1t hath a horn set in the midst OF Its
forehead feet long, and whatsoever II
butts at it runs him through and
pounds him against the rocks. 1t is said
by writers on natural history that they
place a young virgin in his way, where
at he puts away from him all his fierce
ness and lays down his head and is
held thus entranced until he be taken

Thus wrote that delightfully."- naive
observer, Father Felix Fabri. who visit
ed Sinai 400 years ago. Modern pill
grims who have followed in his foot
steps with their eyes open will at once
recognize that the animal he saw was
the bedan, or Sinaitic ibex, which gazes
down on passing caravans from the
cliffs which tower above their route.
He is seldom visible to them unless his
shapely figure happens to be silhouetted
ON the sky line. This wild goat inhabits
the mountains on either side of the Rod
sea and the steep gullies of Moab and is
the only representative of the deer or
goat tribes in these regions Esau
doubtless hunted it. and those few
sportsmen who have followed his ex-
ample will not be surprised that the un-
certainties of the chase cost him his
birthright Nineteenth Century.

OF Course the new woman, who thinks

At the London Pioneer club recently
a discussion took place on the PROPOSE
ton, 1.-THE a.ttude of some advanc-
ed women toward men is calculated to
injure the best interests Of women"
Ono ''new" woman argued that the
present stand of the advanced woman
was necessary, for no ''abject race" had
ever raised itself without hard blows on
either side. A sort of internecine war,
according TO some women, is evidently
necessary to settle the question whether
man is to be the predominant partner.
Mrs. Hobson's exposition Of the case
was amusing. She hoped that, though
the total extinction Of man might be de-
sirable such was not yet possibility.
Meanwhile woman should both tolerate
and educate him. Her views of the situ-
alton generally prevailed. She conclud-
ed her remarks with the suggestion that
memories of hard things in the past
should be forgotten and fresh start
should be made, woman talking less
and doing more. The Newcastle Chron-
icle, Newcastle, in commenting upon
this, remarks that without quarreling
about doing more humorists might srg-
gest that it would be advantageous and
