A Fish THAT Gould Talk.

A natural curiosity captured on the
eoast of Africa on May .. lS54, by
Signor Cayana and exhibited in all the
great cities of Europe during the years
1893, 1860 1861 and 1SGE, where il WAS
advertised as the talk ing fish, was
in reality species of the African seal.
well known to naturalsts on account
of its wonderful powers of mimicry.
This particul:x animal was about
twelve feet in length and weighed
something over 500 pounds. 1t had II
fine. doglike head and large beautiful
black eyes, which seemed TO sparkle
with intelligence whenever the crea
ture was spoken to by amy one. 1t was
very docile and when told to dance
would roll over and over in its bath
tub, with first tail and then head above
the water, all the time chattering as
though enjoying the sport as much as
the spectators did. 1t soon learned
many odd tricks and, 1t is claimed
learned to articulate at least three
words very plainly viz, mamma
papa and john" the last being its
keepers name When told to pray it
would clasp its flippers In the attitude
of supplication and put on a sanctiRlo-

Our Foreign Relations.

The day before the adjournment of
Congress, Senator Cullom of Illinois.
chairman OF the Senate committee on
foreign relations, made a speech in which
he carefully reviewed the international
questions that mad been disposed of I'M
der the Mckinley and r losevelt admins
trations since 1897. lis notable record
and one the country may well be proud
Of We give some of the leading points
made in this review by the Illinois Sena-
TOT.
He discussed In their order the acquis-
ton OF the Hawaiian islands, the war
With Spain and its results, the Philip
pines, Cuba, the Alaskan boundary it
ternational arbitration, the Panama
canal, our relations with the Orient, the
Russo-Japanese war, reciprocity and the
consular service, concluding with glow
ing tribute to President Roosevelt and
Secretary Hay.
The acquisition of the Hawaiian islands,
he said, gave us foothold In the Pacific
and was the beginning of our great ex
pansion under the Mckinley adminstra-
ton.
The war with Spain awoke us to a
realization of the fact that more than a
century of remarkable internal industrial
development rendered US an important
factor In the worlds system.
He discussed the Philippines mainly
from business standpoint and said that
under American rule their exports had
increased nearly $l2 600 600 in the last
year. The resources of the islands were
hntt n aco hn oat6 20
to say the total value of the trade would
eventually amount to several hundred
millions annually. Manila In no far dis
tsnt day would become the great COM
mercal center Of the Orient.
Discussing international arbitration
the senator declared that no previous
administration and no country have
done more toward the settlement by
PEACEFUL methods rather than by war, OF
the differences which arise among nations
M have the administrations of Presidents
Mckinley and Roosevelt.
During the three years of the Roose-
welt administration more progress had
neen made toward the construction of an
inter oceanic canal than in our previous
history.
He alluded to the tfflrts being made
by the administration to preserve the
independence of China and prevent its
ACKNOWLEDGMENT. Secretary Hay very
recently had gained diplomatic triumph
in obtaining the consent of Russia and
Japan that the "neutrslity of China and
her administrative entity shall be pre-
tected by both parties-a measure the
senator said, so wise and 80 generally
commended by the nations that it had
been accepted by Russia and Japan
themselves.
A word about our President and secr,-
tary Of the state. In guiding and caring
for the interests of the country, the ma
ton Is safe and in able hsnds-never In
our history has our nation been more
fortunate. With Theodore Roosevelt as
President and John Hay as secretary of
state the people may rest In the assur-
ance that our International rights will
be cared for; the honor of the nation
we'll guarded and so far as our interests
may be affected by our foreign policy
they will be wisely conserved.

GRIP THAT FAILED

have been preferable to the experience
through which Mr. John II Robinson,
Of Manchester Bridge, n. Y, actually

loss Of valuables would have bean rela-

would have recovered FROM injuries aud

not be seen, If ever, repeated. Told by
himself, his story is as follows:

three years by grip, complicated with
pneumonia, and my sufrerings were ter
rible. I had some Of the best ply aioiAna

give me any relief froM tho fearful pains

that had been cured by them, so I got a
box. After l had taken one box l felt
much better and three boxes cured me
completely. | know this medicine is q
grand good thing and l heartily recon-.
mend it as the only thing that saved my
life"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are such an
excellent remedy for the grip and its
after effects, because they expel poison
from the blood, supply tonic and nutri-
tive elements to every organ and nerve,
and, in short, forward all the processes
that tend to rapid and complete recovery
One Of the most striking results of the
use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills in cases
! of influenza is that tho depression, which
is such trying characteristic of the dis
ease aud which often takes a suicidal
phase, is succeeded by elasticity of
spirits This great remedy is sold by all
druggists throughout the world.

An old tradition says the Aztecs were
one Of seven powerful tribes that
emerged from seven caverns in a re-
gion called Aztlan, or place of the
heron. They wandered away from
their fellows after a great confusion of
tongues and settled in the region they
are known to have inhabited. This
tradition may be partly fabulous, but it
is sure that the Aztecs settled the
country before the eleventh or twelfth
century.
All the tribes lived in peace for a
considerable time until the strong be
gan to encroach upon the territory Of
the weaker. Then a fierce war for SUI
premacy over the whole territory en-
sued and lasted many years. Under
the leadership of their military chiefs
the AZtecs obtained control of the
whole territory and established very
enlightened form of government. This
WAS consummated In 1924 or 1929.

At Korean marriage every one rides
on horseback and In single file First
comes n manservant, who carries In
both hands an imitation life sized wild
goose. covered by red scarf Then
come the bridegroom, his friends and
all the servants he possesses or is able
to borrow. At the brides house the
servant first deposits the goose on II
bowl of rice; then all dismount and,
leaving outside their outer robes, their
hats and their boots they enter the
house and make as much noise as they
possibly can. The pandemonum does
not cease till the guests are paid 10 go
away. \ feast follows and then the
bridegroom is taken to his bride, whom
he sees for the first time.

Detecting Guilt In LiberIa.

The brown skins of the natives in
Liberia are often daubed with red and
white clay, the effect of the latter be
ing rather startling This is called
dressing. Sometimes a vertical blue
mark Is seen across the forehead. This
Is a sign of freedom. The kroomen
have it more than others. They are
largely employed as extra hands on
the steamers. When a man is sus-
pected of murder, theft, etc, he Is
made to drink sasce wood. This being
deadly poison. his innocence Is de
clared by the draft not proving fatal
1t is said, however, that this is only a
form. When the fatal moment arrives
some expedient is generally adopted,
or else 1t is considered that only an
innocent man would be willing to APP
proach the deadly draft.

The Indian Fond Dam

The repairs on the big dam at the out
hosting apparatus for the fl lod and
s,uce gates is in place and everything is
nov ready for the water and lumber
drives. The improvements at the dam
have been expensive but in line with
other Improvements. at I1dian pond
heretofore no considerable head could be
IN ,ntained except that amount Of water
which lay against the dam below the
level of the log way or sluice. This l1g-
way was seventy feet long and four feet
deep ard consequently a large amount
If water went to waste after the head
from Indian pond dam had served its
purpose down river. The old log way
has been closed so that all water can be
held and used only MS 1t is desired down
river. The number Of gates in the dam
is fifteen and these include one sluiee
gate twenty-five feet 10 length and eight
feet deep. The gates are so rugged with
hosting apparatus they can be raised by
four men. This small number Of men
on the gates will allow the employment
Of more meu of the regular sluicing crew.
What the new order of things at ludian
pond dam means can best be imagined
when it is said that the water which
formerly ran to waste through the old
way at night when it was OF no use 70
The drives AS the latter can not be moved
in the night.
By the system of handling the water
which will be in vogue after the season
pens this spring, the head from Indian
pond can be sent against the drives SUI
tcently early in the morning to begin
to take effect by the time the crews get
out on the logs and by time measurement,
can be shut off so that the last OF the
head will reach the crews when they are
ready to quit work for the night
The ice in the streams tributary to the
East branch and Iadian pond is fast Civ
ing away and In another week will be all
adrift. The water In these tributaries is
still very low, although there was a
slight rise Sunday OF last week.
