II Yen are Nervous, DespOndent.

of-Sorts in June.
Paine's Celery
Compound
will Give You Nerve Force,
Fresh Energy. VigOr, and
New Health

June should be the bannermonth of
the year for the enjoyment of nature
and life. If men and women are not
physically capable of enjoying the
good things of nature and home so
bountifully provided by an All-Wise
Creator, the fault is their own in
the majority of cases.
Our nervousness, insomnia, de-
sEondency, and irritableness are
continual and forcible reminders of
ill health and disease. Their con
tinuance in June means unhappi-
ness and misery; their Punishment
by the use of Paine's Celery Com
pound means energy, activity, vigor
and full ability to enjoy Heavens
best gifts. Thousands are now &C
quiring rugged health and buoyant
spirits through the use of Paine's
Celery Compound. The blessings
of health, home and nature will be
your portion if you wisely use the
great medicine this month. 1t truly
makes people well.

the northern districts of the old coun-
try is that Of placing an immense log
Of wood sometimes the root Of a great
tree-in the wide chimney place. This
is often called the Yule log, and it was
on Christmas eve that it was put on
the wide hearth. Around it would
gather the entire family, and it's en-
trance was the occasion of great deal
of ceremony. There were music and
rejoicing, while the one authorized to
light it was obliged to have clean
hands.
1t was always lighted with brand
left over from the log of the previous
year, which had been carefully pre-
served for the purpose: A poet sings
of it in this way:

People Who Cannot Make Fires.

The Papuans OF the Malay coast of
New Guinea are still in the most prim-
tive state. They are wholly unac-
Quainted with metals and make their
weapons of stone, bones and wood.
They do not know how to start a fire,
though fire is used among them. When
a Russian asked them how they made
fire, they regarded it as very anus
ing and answered that when persons
fire went out he got some of neigh
Dor. and if all the fires in the village
should go out they would get it from
the next village. Their fathers and
grandfathers had told them that they
remembered a time or had heard from
their ancestors that there was a time
when fire was not known and every
thing was eaten raw.

HAWAIIAN FISHERMEN,
Hands and Teeth Play q. Part In
Capturing the OctODus. :.

Hands and Teeth Play. q Part In
Capturing the Octopus. =
,.- The. native fisherman. of Hawaii,
while an adept with the hook and line,
does not scorn to use his hands to cap
ture his prey when occasion arises.
The bonito. is the fish most generally
caught with hook and line, and as the
hook used is of mother of pearl, made
from the shell of mollusk now quite
rare, which glistens with an rides
cence similar to the simmer from the
scales Of the smaller kinds OF fish on
which the bonito lives. no bait is need
ed. The barb Of these hooks is of
bone, and two tufts Of hogs bristles
attached at right angles to the barbed
end keep the inner side up, so that the
hook lies fiat on the surface Of the
sea. When likely fishing ground
has been reached. the fisherman. stand
ing up in the canoe, casts out bis line
violently, so that the hook falls with
a slap on the water and attracts the
attention of the fish. The line and
hook are then drawn rapidly toward
the boat. as though it were a spoon,
and the bonito. taking the hook to be
a small fish. rises to it Immediately.
It is fortunate for the fisherman that
he has to waste no time in batting his
hook. for thi:; method Of casting fright
ems the school, and the fish disappear
within ten or fifteen minutes. =.
An ingenious plan by which very
large fish are caught is by planting a
long pole on the shore in such posi-
ton as to cause it to lean decidedly to-
ward the water. On the top of this
bell is arranged so that it can swing
clear of the top of the POLE A block
and fall are also attached to the pole
close to the top, and long line, with
baited hook at the end, is run through
the block and allowed to float out to
sea, the land end being tied in slip
knot to the bottom of the pole. AS soon
as a fish is hooked its struggles cause
the bell to ring, whereupon the fisher.
man runs to the pole. loosens the Slip
knot and plays the fish until he has
drowned it, when it is hauled ashore.
In fishing for octopus the native dives
to the bottom and with a stick pokes
around in the small holes in which the
octopus lives. When he touches one,
it seizes the stick and allows him to
draw it out of the hole. When he
reaches the surface. the native grabs
it with lis hands and bites into the
head. thus killing the animal.
