Seriously Bitten by a Shad

William Duncan, aged 20

man, was bitten by a shad, and
and is now in the Delaware
Hospital at Wilmington, suffer-
ing severely. While hauling
in his net ten days ago one OF
the fish, which was particularly
vicious, seized his hand in IFS
mouth and inflicted a painful
injury. The fish had fine teeth,
whic cut the flesh.
The wound was regarded as
trivial, but in a few DAYS the
hand began to swell, Now 1t
is infamed and swollen much
larger than the usual size. and
serious results are feared. The
injury is infected with a poison

The Home Merchant.

The home ID erchant is entit>
led to your trade and ought 10
haye it, as against the itinerant
dealer or the merchant of some
distant city. He spends his
money here. He builds a home
which enChanCes the value of
all property. He helps pay for
the church in which you wor>
ship, and the school to which
you send your children. He
cannot afford to mis1epresent
his goods or swindle you. Self
interest alone would prevent
this. He stays with you IN
sunshine and in storm, in times
of prosperity and days of adver,
sity He bears his share Of the
burdens of good government,
When a subscription paper is
passed he is first approached.
These are a few of the ieasons
why you should ratronize the
the home merchant. And if he
has the goods YOU want aud
sells them at the right price,
and lets the fact be known by
means of an advertis, nent in
the FIsHEkMAN & FARMER he
will be very apt to get his share
of the trade.

Suki.

It is said that the South Sea
Islanders have a delicacy which
they call suki. 1t is a fish tour
or five inches long. which ma
tives eat alive. When a iii
Islander feels as if he would like
a dozen raw he doesn't have to
go to the counter and order
EN-, as we do oysters, but
saunters down to the seaside,
and with a little net scoops out
his suk1 and bolts it before be-
it has time to know what has
happened to it. The beauty of
lunching OH these fs1 is that
you don't have to c1ew nor
S nallow. You throw your
head back, open your mouth
and drop the sukl into to It,
head first. The suki gives a
wriggle and goes down as slick
and easy as an oyster.

President Lincoln, in the first year
of the civil war, prOphesied that, il the
secession movement could be promptly.
suppressed, the United States would
have a population of 03,208,000 In
1900.
He based this prediction on the per-
centage of increase in population from
1890 to 1860 The increase from 1890
to 1900 was little over IS per cent.
From 1900 to 1910, the increase was
1905 per cent. There was a decline in
the ratio of increase in the next dec
ade, but in 1850 there was an increase
of 1851 per cent, and in 1850 an in
crease of 1888 per cent, making an
average decennial increase of 34.61 per
cent in population for the seventy.
years from 1890 to 1860.
Assuming that this ratio of increase
would be maintained, Mr.. Lincoln pre-
dicted that the United States would
have a population of 42,323,000 in 1870.
6,967, 900 in 1880, 1851 900 in 1890.
1903 ,2Os 900 in 1900, 13S,91S,0O0 in 1910,
186,9S4, 900 in 1920, and 251 $4,000 in
1880.
But the civil war came, and the per-
centage of increase from 1860 to 1870
fell to 22.63 per cent. The percentage
Of increase went up to 80 per cent in
1880, dropped to 24.S3 per cent in 1890,
and to 21.S3 per cent for the decade
ending with 1900.
The population in 1870 failed to
reach Mr.. Lincolns estimate by 1884,
900. In 1880 the population was
SSH 900 below the estimate, 14,055, 900
below in 1890, and 26,913,000 below in
1900. The ratio of increase for thelast
decade was the lowest in ninety years,

ly recognized that the common cold IS
most infectious. The germs, whatever
they may be, have way of running
through household. The first infect-
ed member of family ought, II 1t
were practicable, to be put into quar-
antine, so as to save the rest OF the
clan, says the Philadelphia Ledger. Un-
luckily, colds may be caught In the
trolley or on the train, or any place OF
public assembly. Sad to say, places
Of worship are great breeding places OF
colds, because the ventilation is not
usually of the best, and the air, being
overmuch used by the congregation,
becomes OF low quality, SO that the
respirer of such air often falls an easy
prey to the germs which are respon-
sible for colds. The unlucky man who,
wiser than his generation, insists on
opening windows, often gets much
abused for causing cold by creating a
draught. But the mischief was prob
ably done before the breeze began to
blow.

PLANT VERSUS MOSQUITOES

In Venezuela, the castor-oil plant
growing around houses Is believed to
keep mosquitoes away. In that coun-
try the plant grows to the size OF q
tree and is perennial, whereas in more
temperate climates it attains height
of only four or five feet. But United
States Consul Plumacher at Maracaibo
thinks the plant would be equally eff
fective against mosquitoes anywhere.
BY keeping the branches and seeds OF
the plant in room, he says, the pests
are driven away.
