COARSE FISH FOR THE TABLE.
Neglected Food Supplies of British
Inland Streams.

Neglected Food Supplies of British
Inland Streams.
Puzzling enough to the student OF nat
ural economy must be the fixed preju-
dice Of the English people to the edible
Roman snail, the titb1t frog, more espe-
cially, the common coarse" fish Of
fresh water streams, says the Pail Mall
Gazette Fresh water salmon trout,
grayling and ellis are everywhere re-
garded as edible fish, though until very
recent times the grayling or "ouncer"-
one Of the salmonide-was but little
esteemed either by sportsmen or cooks.
To-day grayling ranks so closely with
such game fish as salmon, trout, char
and possibly the rarer vendace, etc.,
that the angler must not under penalty
feed Its SWIM" and 1t must not be
fished for with maggot or worm except
in the depth Of winter.
The point Is that since our notions
about grayling have so utterly changed,
why should not our notions about the
more stable pike change, too? For
"Esox lucius," the luce Of English her
aldry. better known as pickerel In
America, Is truly a game" fish, judg-
ing from the manner he fights and the
great number Of denticles in his mouth,
which are strong enough to bite off an
anglers finger. Yes, our familiar
fresh water WOLF is game enough, and
l can say from experience that his
many pounds of sound flesh taste ex-
ceedingly choice about Christmas time
when stuffed with veal forcemeat and
basted with savory gravy. Yet very
many hundreds Of enormous pike are
captured on our streams yearly by
"trimmers'' and other questionable de-
vices Of the river watchers; moreover,
they are throughout treated as so much
vermin. If exposed for sale on the fish
monger's marble slab they could hardly
fail to command a good price, little as
the world in general cares to make the
experiment Of cooking pike.
Take the case Of the equally abund
ant chub I am told that it takes
Jewish tailor or furniture brokers' fam
ily to appreciate 1t.

CURING ILLS WITHOUT MEDICINE
Physician Tells How Every Man Can
BE HIS own Doctor.

Have you noticed" said the physi-
clan in his post-prandial rest, what a
tidal wave of Every man his own doc
tor is sweeping over the land?"
Il suppose you mean,' said the other
man, who had come to him for little
friendly advice about spring fever,
christian Science and other cults"
Not alone that, but the growing
tendency to keep well instead Of being
cured is fast RELOCATING medicine to the
dead arts. We must keep up with the
procession, even if it robs us of occu-
patton, and I'll assure you, if every
man understood giving himself massage
he might practically be his own doctor.
For instance, half the world either has,
or claims to have, liver troubles. A
spare five minutes can be turned to eX-
cellent account by giving your liver a
lift. Place one hand heavily on the
right side at the lower border of the
ribs and rub it down slowly four or
five inches. Do this a dozen times,
and you will empty this overfull liver
Of it's superintendent contents. This

VALUE OF SALT TO MAN.
1t Is an Important Constituent of
the Blood.

1t Is Important Constituent of
the Blood.
Salt holds a prominent place in the
list Of our food accessories. From the
most ancient times man has valued
salt as apparently needful item in
his dietetic substances, and even lower
animals exhibit an instinct for salt
such as represents an Unborn craving
arising from a dictate of nature her.
the body Is itself interesting. It seems
to be a mineral compound universally
distributed throughout our tissues.
Even the freshest of our meats contain
salt as part and parcel of their COM
position. Equally notable is the fact
that salt is found in the excretions of
the body. 1t is given off in very ap-
preciable quantity in the perspiration
and in other forms Of waste resulting
from our bodily wear and tear. So i'm
portant a constituent Of the blood is
salt that in cases of loss of blood the
surgeon injects into the circulation a
solution of salt and water and thus
contrives to replenish in a certain fash
ion the depleted supply. In some way
or other, as yet imperfectly understood,
salt appears to be necessary for main
tanning what we may call the chemical
equilibrium of the blood One Of the
punishments inflicted under the old
laws of Holland and one regarded as
in severity next to that of death was
the keeping of prisoner for certain
length of time on q diet from which
all salt was excluded. The result was
emaciation, and death If the depriva-
ton was long persisted in.

cures heartburn and remedies cramps
by removing the acidity from the stom-
ach as we'll as relieving the liver.
1.-THE food Of a dyspeptic remains too
long in his stomach, fermenting and
causing Inflammation. Try helping the
stomach to get rid Of it's contents. Place
one hand at the extreme edge OF the
left side Immediately under the ribs
and slightly overlapping them. Then
work it round to the right by pressing
the fingers in as hard as you can, draw
ing the hand across to the right with
the other hand, at the same time swing
ing the body to the right, then to the
left. Practice this daily before meals
and reasonable food will never set
like lead on your stomach. Here Is
a good suggestion for a plethoric, or
full-blooded, man: When waiting for
the fellow that doesn't keep his appoint
ment, place your hand at the back OF
your neck where the hair joins it and
rub downward. You will thus empty
the glands and prevent their turning
into boils. Or put your fingers on the
neck at the angle Of the jaw and draw
them firmly downward over the course
of the jugular vein. This will remove
the used-up blood from the brain and
make that organ feel light and clear,
helping you to keep from getting hot
under your six collars like Kipling's
engine.
'If you have a tendency to varicose
veins, when you sit down elevate your
feet. The blood will flow out Of the
turgid veins and give you great relief.
By deep friction from the heel upward
you can encourage the return Of the
blood to the heart as we'll as give tone
to the feeble veins. If you have a red
nose it is because the blood enters the
superficial vessels Of the skin and does
not return from it. If you would rem
edy this condition, perform regularly
this little feat: Grasp the tip Of the
nose between the thumb and fingers and
massage upward to the root. This
method empties the vessels Of used-up
blood and allows fresh blood to flow.
Besides, you are not half as likely to be
afflicted with cold in the head. One
exercise especially designed to prevent
a bay window below the ribs is this:
Lit fat on your back, raise one foot
and leg to its full height without bend
ing the knee, then the other, alternat-
ingg the motions, or vary the exercise
by putting the toes under the bed
clothes, raising the body to the sitting
posture several times. This exercises
the muscles of the abdomen and pre-
vents the accumulation of fat.
"Cold feet so often found among
brain workers, can be overcome by pro-
noting a vigorous circulation. Imme-
date relief can be had by standing in
about one inch Of cold water In bath
tub. Stand on one foot and rub it with
the other, alternately, number OF
times for not more than three or four
minutes. Follow this up by vigorous
rubbing with q crash towel, and the
good effects are almost equal to walk
ing in dew, recommended by Father
Kneipp. A fit Of blues Is a habit that
grows upon one so rapidly that In
short time 1t becomes disease. When
ever 1 feel an attack coming on I put
on stout walking boots and tramp till
I can go no farther. This effectually
dispels melancholia. An Oriental phi

Plants Remember.

Plant memory is a problem for the
1nquisitive botanist. In 1901 a nlant
allied to the squash and pumpkin was
taken to New York from the desert of
Sonora, In Mexico, and since then II
mas been kept-without water-in a
strange climate 5000 miles from home.
During the six weeks Of rain In the
desert the plant grows it's leaves and
mowers and perfects its seed. Then IL
orles up and leaves only a water filed
gourd, which a thick, hard shell seals
against animals and evaporation. The
transplanted specimen still remembers
the rainy season Of six weeks. 1t wakes
sends out rootlets, stems and leaves
and then dries up again until the fol.
