nR. LLEWELLYN.> Jordan, Medical
- Examiner of the u. s. Treasury
department., graduate of Columbia Col
!ege, and who served three years at West
Point, has the following to say of Peruna:
"ALiow me to express my grafi-
fude oyou for the benefit derived
from your wonderful remedy.
One short month has brought
forth & vast change and I now
consider myself q we'll man after
months of suffering. Fellow suf-
ferers. Peruna will cure you."
A constantly increasing number of
physicians prescribe Peruna in their
practice. 1t has proven its merits so
thoroughly that even the doctors have
overcome their prejudice against TO-
called patent medicines and recommend
it to their patients:
Peruna occupies a unique position in
medical science. It is the onlv internal
systemic catarrh remedy known to the
medical profession to-day. Catarrh, as
everyone will admit, is the cause of one
half the disease which afflicts mankind.
Catarrh and catarrhal diseases afflict
one-half of the people of United States.

steady business, which is good for nine
months in the year, the thousands Of
pearls gathered finding a ready market
in New York City and in European
centers.
Some of the largest American pearls
have been added to the crown jewels of
King Edward. The late Queen Vic
toria owned large tract of land near
the head-waters of Clinch river. and
the King takes part in the pearl fish
ing through an attorney.
Experiments are now being made in
this country and elsewhere in the Curl
Gus business of growing pearls.
The Chinese have long practiced a
queer method of gently opening a live
mussel, placing a tiny speck of some
hard substance in the viscera and then
feeding the mussel and keeping it
healthy until the pearl develops. In
the effort of nature to render the speck
harmless, the mussel deposits a saliva
like substance that hardens and grows,
which grows around the slight wound
or irritation, keeps on increasing in
size for several years. The difficulty
is to know what sort of food to give
the mussel in order to produce the
most brilliant Oriental hues.
The American experiments are along
these lines. and if they are successful.
the pearl-divers of tropical waters will
be put out of business. They will not
be able to compete with the artificial
product, and the shark will know them
no more.

FISHING WITH
LIVE DECOYS
Other Odd Ways of Catching the
Fish in Hawaii.

One of the beautiful and priced food
fish of the Hawaiian Islands is the
uhu. The uhu lives in the little caves
and holes among the coral reefs, and is
almost exclusively a dweller in the
shallow waters of the coast, hiding
away in the coral and rocks.
There are two kinds. One is vivid
red, and the natives love to eat it raw
The other is a delicate and delightful
green.
Now, like all rock-dwellers, the uhu
is an extremely shy fish, and will watch
baited hook for long while before it
darts from its hiding place to examine
it. Therefore. a man might have to
fish all day long over a reef full of
uhus, to get a mess if he fished with the
ordinary hook and line.
The jagged bottom and the many
peaks and pinnacles and branches of
coral make il quite impossible to haul a
seine or other net of that kind, for it
would catch in the sharp points and
tear within few moments after being
lowered. Besides, it couldn't reach the
fish, which have a queer habit of lying
in hole with nothing but the tips of
their heads showing.
These difficulties have led the Ha-
waiians to adopt a unique and ex-
tremely interesting method of fishing
for uhus.
The fishermen repair to a haunt of
the fish with a bag made of a square
piece of netting tied to four long and

AMERICAS PEARL-FISHERIES.

Within the past five years a large
pearl-fshing industry has grown up in
the United States, but it has none of
the tragedy or romance of the Ceylon
and Panama fisheries. 1t centers prin-
cipally around the Clinch river, in Ten
nessee, and there are smaller fisheries
in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
The Clinch river pearls are not found
in oysters, but in mussels, and they are
fished for in a queer way. Scores Of
men and boys may be seen there every
day, hanging down into the dark wa
ters of the river and clinging by their
toes to the gunwales or shallow scow-
boats. They swim under water for a
minute or two, practically standing on
their heads, and then come up with
double handful of mussels Even wom-
en- take part in this queer fishery.
An Englishman known as "Old Hut
ton" found the first pearl in Clinch
river twenty years ago. Naturally, his
memory is held in great respect by
the people TO whom he showed the way
to wealth.
He was gathered to his fathers long
ago, but he is still looked upon as the
patron saint of the entire region. Old
divers say that when they look down
into the waters of the stream they can
see odd Hutton" sitting quietly on the
bottom gathering pearl bearing mus
sells as of yore. The old mans bones
are high up on the foothills in the lit
tie burying ground, but his spirit is
believed still to point out to the divers
the best spots for pearl fishing.
The aged Englishman first told the
natives how to get the pearls. and then
impaired the great secret of their value.
The result is that hundreds of families
in Tennessee have been lifted from
poverty 10 wealth.
Pearl fishing in the Clinch river is
big gamble. A man may go through
boatloads of mussels for weeks with
out finding a single pearl and then he
may stumble on a big one worth $500
or more. A young man named Clint
dived to the bottom OF the deepest
hole IN the Clinch river recently and
brought up only one mussei. But It

She knew that when his forefeet came

Then voices and cries sounded all

She jerked the bride sharply, and Jim
plunged up the bank of the track. No
need to urge him now--he leaped over
the ties like a wild creature. She
passed the break-several lengths OF
rail were gone. Just ahead cleaned
the light of the locomotive, and the
rumble of the train sounded heavily
in her ears.
A sickening fear Of that horrible,

tried to pray-she remembered that
