cause their husbands have lost
their health ,"
A mans health is an easy thing
to lose. A little care and the right
medicine make it easy to regain
lost health. Neglected disease
breeds death. Over work, expos
ure, wrong eating, wrong living
generally may engender disease.
Symptoms vary, but by far the
majority of diseases are marked by
a loss of vitality, a wasting of
flesh. The lungs and the stomach
suffer. Disease germs enter the
system through these two or
gans.
Recovery means driving out the
germs and building up strong,
healthy tissues. The medicine that
will do it quickest and most thor
oughly is the medicine to take.
That medicine is DR.. Pierce S
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t
searches out disease germs wher-
ever they exist and exterminates
them. 1t is a powerful, invigorat-
ing tonic. 1t promotes digestion,
creates appetite, cures biliousness
and all liver, kidney and stomach
disorders, and so all blood dis
eases. All medicine dealers.

A Liverpool merchant recently went

John, L owe about 10000 pounds,
and all I possess is about 1000 pounds,
which is locked up in the safe. I have
been thinking that this is the right
time to make an assignment, but what
plausible pretext l can give my credit
crs I know not. You have plenty of
brains; think the matter over and let
nc know your decision in the morn
ing"
The clerk promised to do so.
On entering the office the next morn
ing the merchant found the safe open,
the money gone, and in its place a let
ter, which read as follows:
Il have taken the 1000 pounds and
have gone to South Africa. 1t is the

The Dog WAS wearing Her Teeth.

Mrs. James Herring, living a few
miles from Lancaster, is the possessor
OF a fine full set of artificial teeth and
in some way lost the lower plate.
After diligent search she came to the
conclusion that they could not be found.
Imagine her CONSERVATION this leorn-
ing when she found the missing teeth in
the mouth of her house dog. The dog
had evidently found them. and, think
ing them a good thing, proceeded to ap-
propriate them to his own use He had
cot them fastened in his own mouth
and it was with much difficulty they
were removed. He had lost several
natural teeth and it looked very much
as though he wanted to replace them
with artificial ones.-Louisville Courier

HOW LOBSTERS ARE HATCRED
In Water Whose Temperature Must

During the season that has just closed
we have hatched 75,0o0000 Holsters, 49,
00e0 600 Goldfish and 100000 f1atfish or
founders, stated Superintendent John
Maxwell of the United States Fish Hatch
cry Station at Woods Holi. according to
the Boston Globe. 1.-The lobster eggs are
put into glass jars. each of which holds
seventy-five ounces; they are placed upon
a table very similar to the one used to
held the cod-hatching boxes There are
two glass tubes which enter the jars at
the top, which is closed with a porcelain
cap. One of these tubes goes TO within a
fraction of an inch of the bottom of the
jar, while the other enters only short
distance from the top and just above the
eggs of the lobster.
The one which goes nearly to the bot
tom keeps the eggs moving al a lively rate,
and it is this moving about that matches
them. As soon as an egg is Matched the
young lobster, swimming about, rises to
the top OF the jar, and by the siphon is
drawn into the receiving jar, which is
covered with linen scrim which allows
the water to escape when il becomes
hlled and still holds the young lobster
captive. The eggs are still kept stirred up
by the fresh supply of water until ali that
are alive have been hatched and Drawn
into the big jar. 1t depends upon the tenn
perature of the water, the same as with
the cold eggs. The required temperature
is 90 degrees, and the time usually re-
quired is from two to four days. We be-
gan to hatch the lobster eggs on April 1st
Several years ago an experiment in hatch
ing eggs received during the winter
months was tried at this station. Eggs
We're received on December 18th and con-
tinued to be taken until January 25th.
During this period 14S Holsters were
stripped, yielding LII, 700 eggs, which
were placed in the Matching jars. the tenn
perature of the water being 45 degrees.
None of these eggs, however, began hatch
ing until May 25th following, the water be-
ing 54 degrees. and on the 9th and 7th of
June S56, 900 fry were released in local
waters The period of incubation, there

to four and one-half months, the loss be-

Brady and Behan Get Into Fight
Over the Respective Merits
of Corbett and Critic.
NEW YORK, March 15.-The sto-
ry of a lively fight that occurred
early this morning in the Reading
room of the Coleman house, be-
tween Corbett's manager, w. A
Brady and Charles Behan, the
manager for young Critic, has just
leaked out. Brady, Behan and
several friends, according to the
story, were in the reading room
talking Of the merits OF their re-
spective charges and began bragg
ing Of the powers of Critic when
Brady announced that he would
match young Corbett" against
Critic for $500 and declared that
he would put up the money then
and there. He drew a check book
from his book, and Behan sneer-
ingly declared that when Fitzsim-
mons got through with COrbett
Brady would not have a cent left
to put up. Then Brady said his
check was good for $4,000 in the
hotel and Behan could not secure
but a very small amount. Behan
became very angry. Before the
friends of the managers could in
terfere Behan struck out with his
right and landed on Brady's face.
COrbett's manager was stunned by
the blow but quickly recovered
and struck Behan on the neck.
Several pers ols seized Behan and
hurried him onto the street others
persuaded Brady to 60 to his room
in the hotel.
