Tiger-eye is a peculiar chrystalliza-
ton of quartz. Formerly very rare and
costly, large deposits have been found
in the western states of America and in
South Africa, so that many common
articles are now made of it.
Air can now be easily liquified, but

Eite of the Tiger snake.

There is no known antidote for the
bite of the tiger snake of Australia.
Persons bitten die almost instantly,
and the government has a standing
reward of $1,000 for any one who will
discover a remedy. Some few years
ago Il nan actually discovered an eff
cacious antidOte. TO prove its value,
he allowed himself to be bitten repeat
cdly by snakes in full possession of
power to kill. One day he gave an
exhibition before some government
officials, but, being under the intlu-
cncc Of liquor. he did not recollect
what he had done with his antidote,
and he died shortly after the snake
bite, his secret perishing with him.

water fish in the world, its length be-
ing fifteen feet and weighing four hum
bred pounds. Its head is without
scales, but the naked skin assumeS Il
horny texture, which taking the form
of plates, covers the entire head.
The scales are very thick, and arrayed
over the body like pieces of mosaic.
The mouth, like hat of a pike it re-
sembles, is quite large and round, with
small but numerous teeth. 1t is with
the bones of this fish the Indians arm
their hooks and lances by which it is
caught as we'll as with the spurs OF the
porcupine. They are also shot with
the ~air-propelled wourali poisoned ar
rows of the Macouslic tribe. Strange
as it may seem, this poison does not
render the fish unfit to eat. The
Indians sharpen their tishhooks,
arrow points and lances on the
teeth of another fish, the Paraya.
The Indians prepare a part OF
the Jaw Of this fish containing
five or six teeth. This is carefully
c.eansed, a hole is bored through it
and fastened to the culver. The weap-
ons are readily sharpened by placing
the points between the keen edges OF
any two teeth and drawing them with
a twisting motion backward and for
ward. A number of natives embark
in their canoes, armed with lances,
bows and arrows and blow guns. AS

culiarity of this class of animals sur-
passes that of any other of the verte-
brates. Millions of eggs have been
found in a single sturgeon and also
cod and salmon. Myriads of eggs de-
voured by sea birds, seals, marine ami
mails, n other fishes of every sort
may feed for months upon millions of
salmon and cod before these fish return
to the hidden depths of the ocean, and
yet the species resist every devasta-
ton and continually reappear in UNI
diminished numbers. And not only has
1t been found necessary to exact strict
laws in reference to the preservation
OF fish, but, as the readers well know,
large amounts of money are devoted
annually to the culture, preservation
and Matching fish eggs and restocking
OF lakes and rivers exhausted by over
fishing. 1t has Been found that many
fishes once neglected by the purvey-
ors in public appetite have been found
well favored, and in every respect fit
for food, so that every year some spe-

cries for more. The proportion of food
of mankind furnished by the fleets
along the coast and the snares, nets

Not only this, but the industries which
fish have contributed give this class
of animals an Importance second to
birds and mammals. The capture of
fish for manufacturing gelatine, ising-
glass and for medicinal purposes is
carried on on a large scale, and most of

A MISSIONARY MEDICINE.

Cleanliness begins within. If a man isn't
clean inside, he is far from Goiliness. A
constipated sinner is a stencil in the nostrils
or the Deity. A man whose food sours in
his stomach, and whose liver is leaden,
can help looking at the world hatefully
with jaundiced eye, and conjuring up evil
thoughts in his tortured brain. Cleanli-
ness OF person begets cleanliness of thought.
Cascarets, Candy Cathartic are the mis-
sionory medicine which purifies mems

!aple, MID and positive, they clean out the
intestinal canal, stimulate the liver and
strengthen tho bowels. Then a man enioys
