Peculiar Nile Fish.

Near the African continent sea nsh- cries are mainly under direct or indi- rect European influence, the natives at- tsching more importance to the rivers and lakes.

 A very popular fish that is taken in inc latter way is the bichlr, which is sbout IS inches long, and is covered with hard, bony scales. In the same manner the Arabs of the upper. Nile catch what they call the thunder fish,' which averages foot in length, and' like that of the Calabar, is endowed with a considerable power of develop ing electricity.

An American missionary is the su- tborify for the following description of social and domestic customs that prevail in a certain part of the arctic regions: If woman IS childiess, she often asks her husband 10 select an- other wife. SO that the home may ne blessed with children She has no Jealousy toward her rival, for her hus- band generally treats both with equal respect.

A younger man may prove real as- set 10 the family. Even If It Is case of simple lnfatuation, no deception is pracficed. The Eskimo woman reveals her feelings to her husband, who, IT the lover is worthy, rarely refuses his consent for his wife to go away win this rival for a certain length or time. If the man happens 10 have a wife or his own, the abandoned husband VIII often propose ts his wife that she ar range matters with the wife or her lover. so there will be mutual ex- change of spouses for time.
