POISONOUS FISH.
Several Species in the West Indies
Dangerous to Life

Medical Record.
Poisonous fish are found in large numbers
and in many places, but more especially in
the tropics. They quite common in the
Brazilian and West Indian waters, and also
in the East Indian and Australian waters
Three kingsfof fish belonging to the mack
erel family are poisonous. One is called the
jure1, and is found in the West Indies in
large numbers. 1t can be distinguished
from the common mackerel, which also
abounds in the same waters, by certain pc
culiarities Of marks. Thus the jurel has
no black spot the gill covers; it has two
scales on the neck While the harmless kind
has black spot and no scales on the neck
The poisonous kind grows large and often
weighs as much as twenty pounds, but the
others seldom run over two pounds. Mack
erel weighing over two pounds are not al
lowed to be sold in the Havana markets.
The chicora is another kind of poisonous
mackerel. 1t is also found in the West
Indies, but the natives of those Islands do
not regard 1t as dangerous. The, meat of
the chicora is not fit or safe to eat at Ger
tain times OF the year, especially during the
spawning season. Then it becomes highly
poisonous, and the people of the Guadalupe
sometimes use pieces of this fish, which
have been caught, to poison rats. The bonito
is kind of mackerel that is most dangerous
at certain times of the year. Usually it is a
very pleasant and palatable bit of food but
every once in while people taken with
collie after eating the bonito. So it is best to
leave 1t alone. Two kinds of herring are
known to be poisonous. The meletta or trop-
zeal herring. is found all along the Atlantic
coast far north as New York Within re-
cent years there have been several cases in
which people have died after eating this fish,
The spawning season seems to be the time
when the herring and other tropical fish
should be let severely alone. The part which
is considered most dangerous is the roe.
The metetta, which is found in East Indian
and Australian waters, is always poisonous.
and is the most dangerous because it is not
easily distinguished from another kind of
herring, which is comparatively harmless. The

being five or six inches long, with siIvery
are poisonous in certain localities and harm
less in other places; some are poisonous at
certain seasons of the year and at other times
wholesome. And, finally, note of warn
ing, we may say that visitors to the tropical
countries should take no risk of eating fish
which are not known to be safe as well as
palatable.

resolutions would be more far-reaching
Immediately. To recognize the indie
pendence of the republic of Cuba would
be equivalent to a declaration Of war
WIth Spain. The reason for this con-
clusion is apparent at a glance You
know that the American people look
upon the Monroe doctrine with as
much respect and veneration as they
regard the constitution itself The
recognition of the republic of Cuba by
this country would make the Monroe
doctrine apply at once. 1t makes no
difference how long a republic is in ex-
lstence. When we recognize it official
~, we recognize it fully. Mexico. Peru,
Guatemala and other governments on
this continent once belonged to Spain.
But If that government should under
take to recover possession of any one
of these countries, under the Monroe
doctrine, we should promptly defend
them, and prevent Spanish aggression.
Under the Monroe doctrine, if we
should recognize the republic of Cuba,
we should be obliged to prevent Spain
from taking forcible possession of that
country.
1T needs no great tax upon the
memory to recall the fact that we have
been talking about going to war with
Great Britain ON account of a little
piece Of territory in Venezuela Our
people to a man applauded the patriots
&c declarations of President Cleveland
on the Monroe doctrine, as applica BILE
to the Venezuelan case. How much
more would it be incumbent upon us
to forcibly defend the integrity of the
Cuban republic, If we should grant

matter as one of great gravity. Before

carefully all the diplomatic possibili-
ties and probabilities. The entire CIV
ilized world is looking upon us, and
the entire world Is interested in the
pending questions.

tutional question which has been raised

ARTIFICIAL DIMPLES.
One Drawback Is That They Do Not
Vary With Moods

Any woman who has been overlooked by
nature in the distribution of dimples III
have the deficiency supplied by machinery
says the Boston Traveller.
The new apparatus, the advent of which
has been hailed with joy in the world feGli-
nine, consists of specially designed knife,
with dainty but very sharp blade, tiny
Been-edged SCOOP and a very fine needle.
With these instruments a pretty, life-like
dimple can be produced as effectively as the
genuine print of the angels kiss"
A small straight incision is made in the
cheek or chin of the ambitious patient, rep
resenting the diameter of the proposed i'm
provement. With the little scoop a small
portion of the fat underlying the skin is re-
moved; the delicate needle sews the edges
of the cut together again, and the operation
is completed. In two or three days the
stitches are removed, and within the week
the wound is entirely healed, leaving the
slight depression in the surface of the skin
which poets call dimple
Not often does a woman in the possession
of natural dimple desire to have it removed
but occasionally a man who considers the
mark a badge of effeminacy whhes to get
rid Of it. This is just simple an operation
as is the other. Instead Of removing a bit
of fat from beneath the surface a small por-
ton of the Thin skin itself is cut away. The
edges of the dimple- are drawn together
with stitches, the incision heals. and the de-
preston disappears.
The artificial dimple however, has It's draw
backs. Il is too permanent. No matter
whether the owner be plunged into the DEPTHS
of grief whether her face be darkened by
anger, distorted by jealousy the dimple
smiles The novelty soon wears off
but the dimple does not and becomes a
mockery and delusion.

"UNCLEv AND WHEEL.
Pawning of Bicycles Much Practfced
by I1apecunious Youths.

How much will you give me on this
wheel?" said an anxious looking young
man to Clark street pawnbroker as
he leaned his machine against the
doorjamb and leaned over the counter.
says the Chicago Tribune
Uncle Isaac made close examina-
ton of the bicycle and then announced
that he would be willing to advance
SIS on the collateral at the usual rate
of per cent a month.
"Oh, say, now" said the young man,
can't you make it SIS? This wheel cost
me hundred only last spring, and it
ought to be good for at least a quarter
of that, don't you know
mo, my son." replied Uncle Isaac
fifteen is great big loan on such col
lateral. I have an upstairs room full
of wheels and they won't be called for
until next spring"
well, / suppose / must get along
with fifteen il / can't get any more, .
said the young man, and q moment
later the negotiation was completed
Then another little business deal was
transacted and the young man went
out Of the shop with his winter over
coat on and q fve-dOllar bill, all that
was left Of the loan on the wheel, safely
tucked away in his vest pocket.
A bicycle dealer says the pawning of
wheels has now become a source of
venience to many impecunious owners.
The pawnbrcker is willing to advance
a reasonable amount, usually enough
to permit the young man to take his
oyercoat out Of soak and besides there
is an additional advantage of having
his wheel stored and well cared for
during the winter months.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24-"T do not
believe that the Cameron resolutions
will be passed during the short session
of congress- said Congressman Lacey,
of Iowa 1.-The effect of interference
by this country is not generally real
lied by the people If we were to rec
ognize the belligerent rights of the Gu
ban insurgents, we would, of course,
give UP some of our rights to claims
to property in Cuba, although We would
thereby give the Cubans opportunity
to purchase munitions Of war in this
country. At the same time, we would
grant Spain the right to search vessels
going from out ports, ostensibly to
Cuba. The right of search is repug-
nant to our people, and that alone
would soon involve us in war Before
taking such a<step we ought to weigh
well the terrible consequences.

lot of budded peach trees. AS | was walking
among the trees l managed to snag my hat

in the crown, and fearing l would completely
ruin it, | placed it on a tree stump and con-
tinued my Investigations with handkerchief
over my hair. I guess I must have been
out in the field about three hours, and when
went to get my hat / saw a bee go into the
hole at the top. This kinder surprised me
and halted. Then another bee went in and
came out, and while l looked I'll be hanged
il there wasn't a continual stream of bees
going in and coming out of the, hole. Well
i didn't exactly like to pick up the hat and
run the risk of being stung to death. So

Finally / called one Of my men and explained
the situation. He went off, and shortly after

stick. This he set fire to and smoked the
bees out Of the country. Then 1 went for

LIFE-sAyING VESTS.
These Are Not the FIoyvered Kind,
but to Ward OFF Bullets

The London managers of a great Sheffield
(1ngland) manufacturing firm are authority
for the statement that four known
American millionaires have recently ordered
coats and vests made Of steel, says the St.
Louis Dispatch. This armor is of light chain
mail, allowing perfectly free movements, does
not interfere with perspiration and weighs
very little indeed. When a man has worn a
mail coat for week or two, the manufact-
urer says, he gets quite used to it. and suf-
fers no inconvenience whatever
While the coats viii not turn a bullet nor
prevent the penetration of a dagger or sword
at short range, they are sufficiently strong to
turn either a sword or a dagger driven at
long range. A spent bullet will not affect
them in the slightest degree. The same man.
ufacturer says that in the last five years his
firm has received more than 900 orders for
light armor.
A number OF English statesmen protect
themselves by using this armor In the
days when Fenianism was rampant there
was hardly an English politician of note who
did not adopt this means OF securing par
tial safety. It is declared that four mem
bers OF the present English government
have these coats of mail, and that one of
these four either wears his steel coat
whenever he goes out or else is guarded by
detectives
Quite a number Of millionaires are cred
tied with the possession OF these garments
of safety, and it is alleged that while few
people imagine it they are worn very gen
orally by prominent men.
