those grown for home consumption.

be u native of India, and was taken
to China In SO b. O. Cucumbers were
known to the ancient Greeks and Ro

"Bird and Fish" Story
BY Truthful Angler

Several years ago one Of my
friends was strip-cnsting with frogs
at night" relates Seth Briggs In Field
and Stream Magazine "lIc made II
cast OF about sixty feet. started to
retrieve his line, and feeling Tug
struck hard, There was considerable
cOmmotlon on the end of the line. aud
suddenly the fisherman became very
much excited, My lines going right
up In the air, he shouted
"Strnge us this sounded, II was
true. The line had indeed travelled
from the surface OF the water tn II
position almost directly overhead
The fisherman managed to get hold Of
the cit. of the line, and dropping his
rod he started to haul In hand over
hand In an amazingly short sInce of
time there was another occupant In
the boat. II proved to he night
heron, which had nalled the frog. i"
Which only proves that almost any.
thing may happen on fishing trip -

Peculiar Way Deadly
Curore Poison =,

"Curare Is the deadly poison that
tips the arrows of the South American
Indians" the explorer said. "a pin
prick from one of their tiny and SLOW
moving blow-plpe arrows tipped with
curnre will kill peccary, n jaguar or
man
"On the Amazon one day my tn
can0s killed monkey. The piece OF
monkey that was served to me after
ward happened to contain the wound
There II was, the ragged curare-hlled
wound made by the bOw-pipe arrow,
cut that bit away, you bet, but
Tucano snatched 1t up, swallowed II
and laughed In my face.
"'How is It, asked him, that you
can ent without harm the polson-lond
ed flesh OF the birds and animals that
you kill with your curhre-tipped ar.
rows?"
For answer-and very good an.
swer II seemed to me--the Tucano
took pinch OF curare from his
pouch; enough to kill a dozen per-
sons; and rolling It into ball he
swallowed 1t down with his monkey
meat and manl0c.
"Then | understood. Curare Is
poison that must be injected directly
Into the blood II can be edten and
dlgested with lmpunlty."--Springheld
