Cnrlona Fact About the "Morraj Cod" of Australia. There is a large fish found in the rivers of western Australia known as the "Murray Cod." This fish which is delicious for the table is remarkable for its size, sometimes weighing: as much as 150 poundte; but the strangebt thing about it is the fact that it car ries around a photograph inside its body. At least the natives say that it is a photograph, and certainly it looks like one. When the Murray codi Is cut open a bladder is Been, extending along thfc backbone from just behind the gills to the fatty part of the tail. In a 30 pound fish the bladder is about 32 inches long andt an inch or more in width. Within, this is a film, or thin membrane, through which, runs a deli cate tracery composed' of a multitude of little red lines, interlacing like the frost work on a window pane in win ter. This film can be peeled off and spread upon a sheet of paper or a piec? of cloth, to which it readily adheres. It then forms a very pretty picture. Sometimes it looks like a bit of pressed seaweed; sometimes it seems to portray a miniature landscape with a dark forest background; but in most cases it presents a surprisingly distinct outline of a single tree, the Australian gum tree, a species of eucalyptus. To explain this singular fact the ab origines have an Ingenious theory. They say that the picture thus im printed on the membrane represents the tree which overshadows the pool where the big fish made its haunt: in short, that it is a real photograph. Fanciful as the notion seems, it gain a certain plausibility from the known habits of the fish, which is extremely solitary ami exclusive in its ways. The Murray cod really does make its home in some forest-shadowed! pool, to which it always returns after its excursions abroad' for fowl or exercise, leading s curiously hermit-like existence; it will allow no other member of its species to intrude upon its domain. Ilere the sul len creature spends its life, year in and year out; it never changes its resi dence. Ilere it grows from insignificant mlnnowhood' until it becomes a king among fishes, as big and heavy as a well-developed man, and for the greater part of each day the shadow of its fa vorite tree falls upon its slimy hack. It is little wonder, therefore, that the untutored' but imaginative savages.puz zlerl by the lifelike picture which they find in the bladder, conclude that the familiar eeene has become photo graphed in the creature's very sub stance.

II Tried to Ue Sympathetic, Hut the I.ndy Would Not Iinvc It. lie was an angular man with gray sar whiskers. lie gave up his scat in t, crowded car with on alacrity that spoke well for the cheerfulness of his disposition. The lady who took the proffered sent was stout nnd hnnghty She Blipped into the vacant place with out a word. "The angular man looked at her thoughtfully. Then he stooped over and said: "I had an uncle, ma'am, that had Just that sumo affliction." "Sir!" said the stout lady, with an insulted toss of her head. "Yes," continud the angular man, "he couldn't pronounce any word begin ning w ith 'th' to save his blessed neck. That's right. He'd stutter and stam mer, an' the best he could do would be to give it. the sound of 's.' Tt was a dreadful affliction. His oldest son's name was Theophilus, but he always called him 'Sophilus.' Had it long, ma'am?" The stout lady was dark red from vexation. "You are insulting," she snorted. "Well, I don't wonder you hate to hear anyone refer to it, said the angular man with great cheerfulness. "But I couldn't help noticing it when you took my seat and wasn't able to say 'thank you.' I wouldn't have minded in the least if you'd said 'sank you' oh, do you get off here? Good day, ma'am never mind the thanks." And the. stout lady flounced down the street to take the next car. Cleve land riain Dealer. From the day that a young man starts out to seek his first position to the end of his business life, bis health has a world M do with hi success. When a young man applirs to a business man for a position, his personal appearance has a deal to do with the outcome. " Personal appearance" doe not mean dress alone. It does not mean exterior cleanliness alone. A voting man may be clean, so far as soap and water will make him, but be disfiguied by unsightly pimples, eruptions and ulcerations on the skin. These are due to impurities in the blood. The blood becomes impure because it is improperly nourished. Instead of receiving the life-giving elements of the food, it receives the foul emanations of indigestion, bilousness and costivencs.. The reason that lr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is the best remedy for disorders of this description is that it goes right to first causes. It gives a man an appetite " like a hotse." It facilitates the flow of digestive juices. It corrects all disorders of the digestion, and makes the assimilation of the life-giving elements of the food perfect. It invigorates the liver. It purities and enrichrs the blood. It makes the muscles strong and active. It tones and steadies the nerves. It makes a young man look as he should strong of body, alert of brain and clean and whole some of skin. Medicine dralers sell it, and have nothing "just ts good." " I hsd sctenia in Its worst form," wrttrs Austin Ksm.trv Hsq , of Saltillo, HuiitiiiKdoa Co., "I tried three doctors but got no ns llrf. I thought it would set mt wild, it itched ad burned ao badly.

Pacts About the Flatheada of British Columbia They Ape Independent nnd Indnstrt oui nnd Maintain Themselves by Hard Work and Fragrality. The Flathead Indians of British Co lumbia afford an extensive field for character study and the writer, having lived among' them a number of years, has had unlimited opportunity for not ing their peculiarities. Friendly con tact with this people shows them to be of an ent ircly different disposition from their northwestern brothers and dis tinct as a tribe. They receive no help from the government, for the reason that they are well able to sustain them selves by securing employment at numerous occupations open to them. Independence is stamped upon their countenances and their talent consists ia carving, canoe building and kindred employments. Fishing and hop-picking are the principal industries in which they are employed during the summer, while in winter felling timber and hunting give ample compensation for a comfortable living. Canoes are their means of transportation, and their skill in manipulating the paddle is often made manifest during town ex hibitions, in which this sport is a prom inent feature. Great numbers of these ingenious Indians live along the trend of the Frazier river, which winds its way through dark canyons, amid tow ering mountains, where in proximity to the waters turbulently falling over the rocks they live in a state of felicity, fishing and hunting. The ritual of the Roman Catholic church attracts many of them and schools of this denomination are scat tered about the province. Industrial schools also are opened for their spe cial benefit and many of the youthful Indians avail themselves of this valu able instruction. Indian brass bands have been or ganized at different stations, and it is amazing to note their rapid acquisition of skill in the management of the dif ferent musical instruments, consider ing they were comparatively strangers to anything in this line such a short time ago, and now it is quite a common sight to observe these bands playing on oecnsions of festivities in the cities. They are great fish eaters and thelir mild temperament is attributed to the etTcct of this diet, which is the chief food of every meal, and cooked by means of smoking, which gives it an appearance that detracts much from its delicious taste. At the end of the fishing season those who receive their entire summer's earnings in bulk leave at once for the city, there to transform the money into merchandise, for they are far from be ing money accumulators nnd have a decided liking for receiving its worth in actual goods. The clothes the Flathead Indian wears are of his own selection, for the people imitate the whites in regard to dress, in so far that some wear derby hats, causing an amusing spectacle to the viBiting stranger, for the reason that their peculiar, flat-shaped heads compel them to wear these hats with the peaks overlapping the ears. The women are hard workers and are frequently seen walking through the cities burdened with a "pack" suffi ciently heavy for a strong man to carry, but, fastened as it is to their backs, they evince no sign of weariness; while in the winter they are seen walking along with characteristic gait in their bare feet, over ice and snow, showing no apparent discomfort for the exposure. The older women, like the male charac ters previously described, are not re markable for their beauty, but sick ness is Infrequent among themm. De troit Free Press.
