San- Francisco, March 2G. A peculiarly sad accident occurred to-day off the South Pacific Coast wharf, on the Alameda side of the bay. J. G. Haggett, an owner of mining property in Arizona, was paying a visit to his family in Al ameda, and took four of his chil dren, three boys and one girl, out in a rowboat fishing. Just as he was about to return he stood up in the boat to put on his overcoat. The boat began to rock, and the motion increased until the frail vessel capsizerl, throwing all the occupants into the water. Other boats in the vicinity q'uickly pulled to their aid, but only two boys were drawn from the water. One of these died a short time after, and thus what began as a pleasure trip ended in the death of the father, two sons and a daughter. Biicklen's Arnica Snlvc.

The United States fish commis sion print in one of their recent bulletins a report on "Hawaiian fishing implements and methods of fishing." The writer gives some curious details about octopus fish ing. The smaller kinds of octo pus, which live in shallow water, are caught by women, who do their work with remarkable skill. They can tell whether an octopus is in a hole whose entrance is no larger than a silver dollar, and, plunging their spears in, they in variably draw one out. The larger kinds of octopus, which are always found in deep water, are caught by men with cowries, gen erally of the Mauritiana, but some times of the tiger species. An octopus will not rise to a large spotted or ugly cowry, so the fish ermen have, to take care that the spots on the back of the shell are very small aud red, breaking through a reddish brown ground. Cowries with suitable spots, but objectionable otherwise, are slightly steamed over a fire of sugar cane husks, a process which gives them the desired hue. The fisherman, having arrived at his fishing grounds, first chews and spits on the water a mouthful of candle nut meat, which renders the water glassy and cfear; he then drops the shell with hook and line into the water, and swings it over a place likely to be inhabited by an octopus. The moment an octopus perceives a cowry, it shoots an arm out and clasps the shell. If the shell is of the attract ive kind, one arm after tlifc other conjes out, and finally the whole body of the octopus is withdrawn from the hole, and attaches itself to the cowry, which it closely hugs, curling itself all around ir. The creature remains very quiet while being rapidly- drawn up hrough the water. Just as it reaches the surface, the fisherman pulls the string so as to bring its head against the edge of the canoe, and it is killed by a blow from a club which is struck between the eyes. This must bo done rapidly, before the animal has time to become alarmed; for if it lets go the cowry it becomes a dangerous antagonist, and theie-is risk of the fisherman being squeezed to death. The cutting ofT of one or more of its eight aims does nut affect ihe rest in the Uast. AN DNDISPUTEI TKST OF MERIT. A medicine that has been a house hold remedy for over fifty vears and used in that time by niore than 150,000,000 persons must have great merit. Such a medicine is found in Bkandretii's Pills. This fact illus trates the value of these pills better than any statement of the proprie tors. It will be observed that the dose required to cure is small. One or two pills taken every night for ren or twenty aays will cure dys pepsia, costivene'ss, rheumatism, liver complaint, all female complaints and weaknesses. "How old would you take me to be, Mr. Snooks?" she lisped, look ing unutterable things at him. "I duuno," he replied twisting ner vously about in his cluir." "I'm awiully old, I assure you. I've seen twenty-three summers!" "Then you ought to wear glasses," he replied, earnestly. "Why, Mr. Snooks? Glasses at twenty-three?" "Yes, your eyesight must be bad." "I'm sure I don't know why you should think so," she pouted. "Be cause I'm afraid about twenty summers have gone by that haven't seen." vou Cf0- lriflc A;itn any Throat - v v v or Lunj; Disease. f you have a Cough or Cold, or the children are threatened -with Croup or "Whoop ing Cough, uso Acker's English Rem edy and prevent further ttouble.
