later to be injured in a tumble down
a flight of steps In his mad rush t.

No warning was given the manager
and the man with his gun seemed
bent on carrying out his purpose Of
pouring two shells of molten lead into
the body Of his supposedly intended
victim. There was no time for par

FISH LONG USED
As CURE FOR ILLS
Through All Ases superstitions Have
Found Charms In Ftnny
Tribe,

The one Ash medicine Of which mod
ern science thoroughly approves Is
cod liver oil. and This, though in far
less nauseous form that formerly. is
swallowed I'm tons every year. accord
ing to the Pittsburg Gazette-Times.
In old days a much wider use was
made Of fish as cures for various evils.
and some Of these practices have sur
vived to the present day. Some little
time ago a boy died OF epilepsy in a
North Wales parish. The doctor. call
cd intOo late. inquired If the deceased
had been given any medicine. "Oh.
yes" was the answer I'VE caught a
trout. drowned 1t in new milk. and
gave 1t to the boy
Ecls are supposed to possess all
kinds OF virtues. In the dark ages OF
medicine a powder made of eels' liv-
er was considered an absolute SPECIFIC
for deafness. and was also employed
in cases OF ague or fever. A decoc-
ton OF GELS fat is still used by Dutch
peasants rs a remedy for falling hair.
But the most valuable part OF the
eel. according TO popular superstition.
Is its skin. MANY an old farmer
wears belt of eel skin as a preven-
tive against rheumatism. and some
believe that a garter made OF the
skin Of this snakelike fish worn next
to the human skin Is a preventive not
only against rheumatism. but also
against sprains or similar injuries.
Another cure for rheumatism. which
finds favor with salt water fishermen.
is a red herring. The herring being
the most plentiful of all the sea fish.
a number OF superstitions have al
tached thesmelves to It. For luck
through the ensuing year one must be
sure to eat a herring on New Years
Day.
Fishermen believe that each shoal
is headed by a king herring. which is
more than double as large as any OF
its followers They believe that.
when one Of the "kings" comes up
in the net. it should be thrown over
board: otherwise. the next days fish
ing will be failure.

HIT HIM IN TWO PLACES.
The Way Cicero Treated His Devoted
 Admirer Petrareh.,


 In tue early 1utunln of 1858 Petrarch suffered an accident which may be narrated In his own words. You shall hear" he writes to friend, what a trick Cicero. the man whom ] have loved and worshIped from my boyhood. has just played me. possess q huge volume of his letters, which l wrote out some time ago with my own hand because there was DO original manu- script accessible to the copyists. III health hlndered me, but my great love of Cicero and delight In the letters and eagerness to possess them prevailed against my bodily weakness and the laboriousness of the work. This Is the book which Sou have seen leaning against the doorpost at the entry to my library. One day while going into the room thinking about something else, as I often do. I happened mad vertently to catch the book in the fringe of my gown. In its fall 1t struck me lightly on the left leg little above the heel. What! My Cicero Quoth l. bantering him, pray what are you hitting me for? He said nothing, but next day as came again the same way he hit me again, and again l laughed at him aud set him up in Bis place. Why make a long story ?.oNer and over again went on suffering the same hurt, and, thinking he might be cross at having to stand on the ground, put him up a shelf higher, but not till after the repeated blows on the same spot had broken the skin and a far from despicable sore had resulted.
