One OF the wonderful Piscntorini
RnrItics Found In China.
The oldest of all piscatorial raritics
is the paradise fish Of China. Like the
German canary and one or two other
species of bird and fish, this little flnny
beauty is the product Of cultivation
only, there icing no place In the world
where II Is found In wild state. In
the land OF the dragon they are kept
and cultivated IN ornamental aqunri-
ums, each succeeding generation Of the
little oddities exhibiting more diver
sitled cOlors. The male Is the larger Of
the two sexes, measuring when full
grown three and a half inches. The
body is shaped very much like that OF
n common pumpkin seed suniiSh, its
color surpa sslng I'm brilllancy any fish
heretofore cultivated for the aquarium.
The head of macropodus chats his

with irregular dark spots. The gills
are azurinc blue, bordcrcd with bril-.
liant crimson.
The eyes are yellow and red, with n
black pupil. The sides of the body and
the crescent shaped cnudal fin are deep

Making Them All One.

An elderly minister Is fond of telling
Of break he once made at a double
welding of two sisters. 1t was ar.
ranged that the two couples should be
married with one ceremony, the two
brides responding at the same time
and the two bridCgrooms doing the
same. There had not been any pre-
vlous rehearsal, as the minister had
come a long distance and had reached
the church but few minutes before
the time for the ceremony.
All went well until it came time for
the minister TO say. And now | pro-
nounCe you man and wife"
1t suddenly became obvious TO the
minister that the usual formula would
not do i'm the case of two men and two
wives, and he could not think of any
way of making man" and wife"
plural I'm the sentence. In his dcspcra-
ton and confusion he lifted his hands
and said solcmnly:
And now | pronounce you, one and
all, husband and wife"

This is done in it's natural passage

the organs are healthy and nature al

Food decomposed and sent galloping

The origin of all cases OF indigestion OF

MI-o-sA, the new cure for this disease,
is the only agent 50 far known that
acts upon these organs themselves and
NOT UPON THEIR CONTENTS. Here
in this medicine differs from all others
prescribed for the various forms Of Dys-
pepsia, and 1t Is this that makes il a GER
tain cure for the disease. Mona tablets
contain none Of the so-oalled food

single case in which pepsin, pancreatin
or the physologically absurd combina-
tions OF these products, produced any
benefit whatever"
All reputable physicians in the United
States will tell you that drugs DO NOT
and CANNOT digest food. They only

voting than the idea Of taking some-
