GET FISH. FROM GROUND

New Smyrna, Fla, May 90
Izaak Walton scarcely would be-
lieve his own eyes if he were to walk
through the country near here and
encounter negroes digging live fish
from the ground as if they were po-
tatoes, and even persons accustom-
ed to the miracles of this age
would look twice and then set out
in search of an oculist. A certain
variety of mud fish found in nearly
all parts Of the State is responsible
for this.
This queer member Of the finny
tribe inhabits streams or ponds
which have mud banks or bottoms,
is black and weighs up to five or 6
pounds. When the water in a pond
evaporates, as it does during certain
seasons of the year, leaving only q
mass of mud which on the surface
is practically dry,'it doesn't worry
the fish. They merely burrow into
the mud ito wait for rain and ap.
parently continue to live as long as
the earth is wet. The negroes locate
them by exploring the mud with
their bare feet.
The fish is edible, but is not ia.
vorite because Of It's stringy and
coarse flesh.

flesh Of the oyster, which is then
returned to its bed. After two
months the oysters are recaught by
which time the mother of pearl bead
is found to be covered by a thin
pearl film deposited by the oyster.
The limitations are the same in
weight size and color as Oriental
pearls, and when tested with the
teeth they grit and crate like the
genuine ones.
Secret meetings have been held
among London jewelers. who are
faced with the difficulty of discov-
ering a harmless test by which the
fakes can be discovered. It has also
been proposed to the board of trade
that the importation Of pearls be sus-
pended until an effective test has
been discovered.
It is probable that number of
legal contests in the courts may re-
suit from this discovery, as the
difference in value between genu-
inc and a fake pearl is in about the
same relation as dollar to a cent.
The discovery of the fraud was
made last week, but was kept secret
until today and is now causing a
flutter among society people who
have been recent purchasers.

"Jiggs, how long hast thou been
wed?"
"Thirty years" with weary sigh
And then he thoughtfully added,
"Why?"
st. Peter was silent with head bent
down;
He raised his hand and scratched his
crown;
Then, seeming a different thought to
take.
Slowly, half to himself, he spake,
Thirty years with that woman there,
No wonder the man hasn't any hair.
Swearing is wicked, smoking's not
good;
He smoked and swore-I should think
he would.
"Thirty years with that tongue SO
sharp
Ho! Angel Gabriel! give him a harp
A jeweled harp with a golden string
Good sir, pass in where the angels
sing,
And, Gabriel, give him a seat alone
One with a cushion, up near the
throne,
Call up some angels to play their best
For Jiggs has surely earned a rest.
"See that on finest ambrosia he feeds
He's had about all the hell he needs
It isn't just hardly the thing to do
To roast him on earth and in the
future too"
They gave him harp with COLDER
strings, e
A glittering robe and a pair Of wings
And Jiggs, looked down from his
high level,
Thought of Maggie and felt sorry
for-the devil.

SAINT PETER AT THE GATE

gate,
With a solemn mien and an air Sc
date;
When up to the top of the golden
stair,
Maggie and Jiggs, ascending there,
Applied for admission; they came and
stood
Before St. Peter, so great and good /;
In. hope the city Of peace to win,
And asked st. Peter to let them in.
Maggie was tall and dark and thin,
With a scraggly beardlet on her chin
Jiees was short and thick and stout,
And his stomach was built so it
rounded out
His face was pleasant and all the
while
He wore a kindly and genial smile.
The choir in, che distance the echoes
woke,
And Jiggs kept still while Maggie
spoke.
20 thou, who guardest the gate," said
she,
eve two come hither beseeching thee
To let US enter the heavenly land,
And play our harps with the angel
band.
OF me, St. Peter, there is no doubt,
There's nothing from heaven to bar
me out,
I've been to meeting three times a
week,
And almost always I'd rise and speak
"i've told the sinners about the day,
When they'd repent Of their evil
way;
I've told my neighbors-I've told 'em
all
Bout Adam and Eve and the Primal
Fall;
I've shown them what they'd have to
do
If they'd pass in with the chosen few,
I've marked their path of duty clear
Laid out the plan of their whole
career.
1--WE talked and talked to 'em loud
and long,
For my lungs are good and my voice
is strong.
So, good st. Peter, you'll clearly see
The gate of heaven is open for me.
But Jiggs here, I regret to say,
Hasn't walked in exactly the narrow
way; 8
He smokes and swears and grave
faults he's got,
So I don't know whether he'll pass
or not.
HE never would pray with an earn
est vim,
Or go to revival, or join in a hymn,
While I the sins of my neighbors
bore,
He gadded about with that Dinty
Moore. +
He made a practice of staying out
late,
Which is sin all women hate;
But at last when he did come home,
The rolling-pin went straight for his
dome.
Il know him, St. Peter, know him
we'll
To escape from me, he'd go to hell;
But, St. Peter, I need him here,
And hope you can see your way clear
On earth l bore heavy cross;
Give me in heaven still Jiggs to boss,
I've brought my rolling-pin, plates
and jars, ..
To keep him lodging among the stars
: "But say-St. Peter-it seems to me
This gate isn't kept as it ought to be,
You ought to stand right by the open
ing there,
And never sit down in that easy chair
And say-St. Peter--my sight is
dimmed,
But I don't like the way your whisk-
ers are trimmed.
They're cut too wide with an out
ward toss;
They'd look better narrow and
straight across"
