MEDICINAL VIRTUES OF FISH.
Carp and the Tencb Are Valuable as
Curatives.

Carp and the Tencb Are Valuable as
Curatives.
Fishing literature, prior to the days
and writings of Izaak Walton, opens
up points Of interest which are unique,
says the Brooklyn Eagle. Not the least
interesting are the constant references
CT the early writer's to the medical vir-
tues of fish. OF course, many of the
salt and fresh water fishes mentioned
by the old writer's are not recognized
by the writers of today, but the fresh
water perch, carp, tench and eel are
yet recognized, and it is in connection
with these fish that some Of the quaint
est ideas as to their medical virtues
has prevailed.
In the art of healing the carp plays
respectable part. One old writer
speaks of the fat of the carp as be-
ing Of miraculous powers for the allie
Walton Of hot rheumatism" The
manner of It's application was by fire.
quent rubbing on the painful part, and
the effect was said to be eminenty
modifying and salutary. The trlan-
gular bones In the throat of the carp,
on being ground to a powder and APP
piled to a wound or bleeding nose,
were said to act as styptic. The gall
was also said to have been used for
sore eyes and above the eyes" says
an old Esculapius, two little bones
| exist, semi-clrcular in shape, which
are diligently preserved by noble fe-
males against the lunatlcal disease"
The eel has also a respectable med
ical history. Members of the profes
sion from Galen to the present day
recommend 1t. Hippocrates, however
makes this exception: "This food 1,
forbidden In tables and diseased
spleen" Galen prescribed 1t in ne
pnritls. The monks Of Salerno held
the eel in adherence. They say, &C
cording to DR.. Badham, in their dietet
ic code, "to live on cells is a sure reel
pc for spelling the voice" Pliny ais,
held this opinion, but says also. "sin
gular they are holden to be to cleans,
the humors. either cholerick or phleg
matte. likewise, to cure the infrm
tiles Of the spleen, and only that the,
be hurtful to the throat and make
man to lose his voice-they be harm
less enow."

WHAT EXCITED THE ELEPHANTS
The Buried Bones of Fellow a Source
of Uneasiness.

The great skull Of Topsy, the bad"
Gently, solved the mystery which for
weeks has invested the conduct of the
Thompson g. Dundy herd of elephants,
says the New York Tribune. They
knew the bones Of one of their kind
were under the earth, and they stead
tasty refused to approach the spot.
Topsy was killed by electricity In
Luna Park three years ago. Her rec
ord Of death and destruction was long
and black. The Museum of Natural
History carried away her skin and
relic hunters took most Of the bones
The skull, which weighed close to 300
pounds, was buried back of the stables
and the incident was thought closed
Half n dozen elephants were sent
from the Hippodrome to Luna Park
early in July, In charge of Pete" Bar
low, trainer. They are an obedlent
and doclle herd, and Barlow was non
plused when they shiyered. trumpeted
and would not bulge every time they
neared the piece OF ground which
looked no different from the rest of
the scanty patch on which the horses
daily exercise.
Their reluctance remained a topic of
curious discussion until yesterday,
when Barlow, with superstltious fore
bodings aroused. nervously told the
story to Frederick Thompson.
The senior member of the firm medi-
tated n moment, and then burst into
laughter. He led the way to the spot
dig" he instructed stableman
The shovel hit an end of the elephants
skull six inches from the surface, and
half an hours effort revealed the en-
tire lmbedded set OF bones.
Alice, Fanny and Jenny. three mem
bers OF the herd, who had been close
ly watching the proceedings, shrleket
mournfully as the skull was lifted ont
whitfield 1t for several minutes and thei
walked silently to their quarters.
Barlow sent the skull to his HON,
in Huntington, L. l.. and the hole /
occupied was filed In. The elephant
seemed to show relief as they move,
willingly over the former grave.

LleHr Is MOI NEEDED.
English Scientist Says SUMS Effect on
Man Is Bad.

Dr. Charles E. Woodruff has made
an exceedingly interesting investiga-
ton Of the effects OF tropical light
on white men. The origin Of his In
vestigatlon was an attempt to prove
or disprove the theory that the skin
augmentation Of man served to exclude
the short or actlnlc rays of light whose
action is to destroy living protoplasm.
II this theory is true, It will explain
Mt once many anthropological riddles
We find In 1t reason why white
men, while capital colonizers in cold
or temperate regions and sagaclous ad-
illustrators Of tropical colonies, have
failed when they attempted themselves
to COLOMBO in hot countries; why blond
types prevail In the cloudy, almost sun
less regions OF the north OF Europe,
brunette types In the dazzllngly light
countries bordering on the Mediter-
ranean. and the negro in Central AZ
RIGA; and why the type Of man ry.
Ing In the tireless city is less blond
than that OF the cOuntryman who has
during a large portion Of his outdoor
life the protection OF the woodland
and orchard.
Dr. Woodruff soon felt bound to sd
nit that the sun is not the benehcent
deity we thought him to be as we wor
shipped. but that he delights in sacri
hces and Stays ruthlessly those who
trust In him. It is hard to believe
that man does not need the light. sn(
It Is almost a shock to be made I,
realize that the vast majority OF Ian,
animals live in absolute darkness" Ye
DR.. Woodruff leaves little reason 4
doubt his statements, for besides tn
cogency OF his reasoning from univer
sally accepted facts, he fairly bristle
r with authorities whom he cites In sup
port OF his position.

Their GTeWSOme Bridesmaid

WS7 such great villain after ALL
Put badly, he had merely

In life than his own, and left her Yet
circumstances and the girl had be-
fore long made the affair seem a heart
less tragedy, and for two miserable
years George Hayden had been haunt

There was no doubt that he had
made love, generally with gay non
chalance, occasionally with fervor, to
Kate Moon. of Mossdyke farm.
1t was during that summer when he
was off fishing in Devon, and the
weather was beyond reproach-except
for fishing. The trout would not bite,
and Kate Moon was beautiful, tall and
black haired, with a complexion of the
proverbial Devon milk and roses; a
magnificent passionate, impulsive girl.
1t was an artistic pleasure to him to
see her coming toward him in her lilac
cotton gown-she always wore lilac
cotton gowns unlike any one else's, full
gathered and dainty, with a bordering
Of palest pink around hem and waist;
the effect was one of lavender and
roses
