Five against three! They count
on numbers" said Lieutenant Tom
Fragini.
There you go, Tom! Any other

Amen.-H. M. e.

CARVED A LIVING FISH.
Part Was Cooked and the Other Part
 Swam Around Till Needed.

Part Was Cooked and the Other Part
 Swam Around Till Needed.
 Not many years ago, being one of the few foreigners permitted to reside in the interior Of Japan, was favored with this interesting experiences;
 Living near Il small fishing village and out of convenient reach of the treaty ports, found it necessary to content myself lU a great extent with native subsistence. However, n daily supply of delicious living fish went far to compensate for the absence of beef steak and bread and butter.
 The peddiers of fish carry their tinny merchandise in shallow tubs filled with water, suspended from the ends of yoke across the shoulders. In this fashion they trot along for miles on their rounlS.
 Having thc advantage of fist choice, could usually select one of a size suitable fer the duya needs. but one morning they Were all entirely too large, aHd when it was pointed out that tie smallest was double the size wanted Io rvpIisd;
 "Ub, but You cau cut 1t in two; use half today, thc other half tomorrow"
 This suggestion would seem simple enough in American markets, but when he was told that stale fish was unde- sirablc he explained that the remaining half wuUIL lr as lively tomorrow or any day thereafter until used; tEat the operation wuuIi uut hurt the fish in thr Sli"htr>, respect. At this point curiosity prompted me to direct the lip viyiscctjuuiSt 10 proceed with his barbarous act.

In the oid days it was useless to put up the sisn "aUothecary." because few could read it. So the apOthecary decorated his shop front with mortar and pcStlc as a sign of his trade.
