Pennsylvania Farmer Naturally

PennSyfvania Farmer Naturally
Proud Of Feat.
Lovine Schaeffer, a truck farmer
living at Limeport, claims to own the
only trained fish in the world. 1t is
a carp "a inches long, weighing eght
pounds. Mr.. Schaeffer caught it in
mill dam near his home two years
ago. when it weighed six pounds.
With two others he placed it in the
spring in his yard. The fish, which is
called john seems to have intelli-
gence approaching that of dog.
When called by Mr.. Schaeffer or any
member of his family it comes to the
surface near the shore to be fed and
petted.
1t eats bread from their hands, anu
is fond of cake. To grab a piece Oh
cake it will raise its body half way out
of the water. 1t will not respond to
the call of strangers, but is not afraid
of them if a member of the family is
present. Whenever called by Mr..
Schaeffer, his wife or the children it
raises it's back above the surface of
the water to be petted, but will stay
up longer if fed than otherwise.-Al-

Island PeopIed by prunkards.

In Fernando Po, an island off the
Niger coast, owned by Spain, is a race
of habitual drunkards, known to Their
civilized neighbors who have settled
upon the coast as Boobies" These
people were recently visited by an
English expedition, and were found tc
be quite unique. That they are aborig
ines seems probable, and that they live
among holes in the rocks, but theil
singularity consists in the fact thai
they-men, women and children-are
constantly and habitually tipsy. Thai
this failing is not due to the influence
of civilized man-as is the case else
where upon the west coasts plain
from the fact that their chief intoxf
cant is palm wine. The drink cravins
is probably inherent in them, and II
SO, they are the only tribe existing
who, as body, are being killed by
yielding to such excess.

polo turban is worn with this and a
parasol to match is flung over the
shoulder. 1t makes a very neat suit.

Protesting AGAINST Rate Reduction.

Protesting Against Rate Reduction.
Atlanta, Ga.-The recent proposition
of j. Pope Brown, chairman of the
Georgia Railroad Commission, to re-
duce the passenger rate in Georgia
from three to two cents per mile was
protested against by the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers. the Order of
Railway Conductors, and unions of
blacksmiths, machinists and telegraph
ers, boilermakers, railway trainmen,
carpenters and joiners, clerks and car
men. These organizations employed
an attorney especially to represent
them, who urged that such reduction
would work against the prosperity of
the State and lead to reduction of
the number of railroad employees as
we'll as Of their wages. The Travellers
Protective Association also protested
that reduction as proposed would re-
suit in fewer trains and poorer service.

These symptoms indicate pelvic or
abdominal catarrh.
They indicate that the bowels are not
acting properly-that the liver is out
of order - that the pelvic organs are
congested.
Pelvic catarrh-that is the name for
it.
Peruna cures pelvic catarrh, when an Of
these symptoms disappear.
The catarrh may be all in the alb
dominal organs, when it would be prop
erly called abdominal catarrh.
At any rate, it is one of those cases
of internal catarrh which can be reached
only by course of treatment with
