FISH THAT FISHES He Lion on the Bottom of tlie Sea, Wailinji Motionless for the Ap proach of Ills I'rey. Most remarkable of strange fishes is the angler fish, whose very name seems a paradox. The fishing fish is never theless a reality, and a stern one to all that approach those awful jaws cf his. With a body the color of mud he generally lies in the shadow of some rock on the bottom of the sea, waiting motionless for the approach of his prey, lie is provided with an odd kind of fin just over the mouth, and this is held out in front of him to give warning of the coming of something to be swallowed. One taken alive was experimented on and it was found that if this projecting fin was touched with a stick, even though the stick did not come near the mouth, the jaws closed convulsively. This shows that the fin by some provision of nature closes the jaws as soon as it is touched. The mouth is tremendous, growing to the width of a foot when the whole fish is only three feet long. One of these anglers was caught not long since anil though it was only 25 inches long, a fish 15 inches long was found sticking in its throat. The angler is provided with peculiar teeth THE SEVEN CHILDREN OF THE GERMAN EMPEROR. Of the seven children of the(!erman em peror, three by this time are fast leaving behind them their childish ways. The crown prince, l'rince Eitel Frederick, and l'rince Adalbert have already their position at court, their special tutors and their pri vate apartments. Of their rigid training many particulars have from time to time been vouchsafed, and very few English children would care togo through so se vere childhood. That this training, though, has been just ified by its results seems more than probable, and happier, healthier chil dren than those of the German imperial family it would not be easy to find.

At 7:30 they have first breakfast, with the empress, con sisting of tea and bread and butter. At tight lessons begin, the younger princes having lessons together and their elder brothci-. alone. This instruction is pretty severs, all the princes of the imperial house being, among other thngs, thoroughly grounded in foreign languages, particularly French. At 9:30 comes a second breakfast; then lt«- eons again, with drill and military exer cises, until 1:15 —lunch time. After dinner they amuse themselve* for a time, then sci ence and music lessons till up the time until six. when supper is served. After this comes a final hour of recreation before bed, the younger children retiring at 7:30, their eider bothers at nine. The crown prince and hi* next brother play the violin and piano. A sergeant major drills them, antl spt in double or treble rows along thr* jaws, and at. the entrance of the throat. Some of these teeth are a foot long. ile is not a pretty fish t-J look at, but he attends strictly to business and will swallow anything that touches his warning fin, whether it is meant for food or not. All kinds of things have been found in the stomachs of anglers, from bits of lead and stone to fish almost as large the angler itself. This is without doubt one of the most peculiar and in teresting fish in the whole, ocean.—S*. Louis < J lobe-Democrat. lie Aimwered the Until 1011. There is a bright ten-year-old hoy in ISangor.

From their earliest years the children are put on ponies and learn at once to mount a horse barebacked. The emperor superin tends these lessons in person, as he is a most skillful rider and very devoted to horses. Each prince has a pony of his own given him on completion of his riding les sons, and they are taught to stable their mounts themselves -unsaddle them and rub them down. The three elder boys are al ready officers in the army, with correspond ing rank in the marines, and the crown prince is reputed to be "a born soldier." Prince Adalbert, who was placed on the roll of the marine# as sub-lieutenant at six years old, and who is expected to become some day an admiral in the German navy, is instructed in everything pertaining to naval matters during the hours devoted to military studies. Little Princess Louise, who, with the two younger boys, Prince Oscar and Joachim, recently accompanied her father and mother to England, is brought up in similar practical manner, though with less regard to her playing any part in public, for the first essential in a German woman, be she peasant or princess, is that she should be a pattern haus frau. It is even said that one Christmas one of her presents was a complete apparatus for washing and ironing.

Mimy II Vuluahle Anlninl'H L.lfe Can lie Savcil liy PurxuliiK the I'lun Here Outlined. It often happens in every community, if not on every farm, that through dis ease of accident, a horse becomes un able to get on its feet when down, or stand for any time when lifted or helped up. For animals in this condi tion, convalescence is always slow, even when the animal recovers at all. Many bad sprains or even a break that has ruined a horse might have been cured if this or some other method of relieving the limb of the weight of the body had been used. Take a number of thicknesses of bur lap or gunny sacking, as it is often called, folded so that it will 1* about 15 to IS inches wide and about five feet long. As this is to bear the weight of the horse, there should be enough to insure strength to bear all the strain put upon it. Knot each end to a slrong rope. If it. is in a stall, fasten a pulley block to a beam above, through which run the rope, after having placed the burlap under the horse, just back of his front legs. Spread the burlap to its extreme width, so that the weight will be distributed over a larger surface. Two men can now handle the horse easily. If the horse is unable to stand, lift hfim just high enough so that his feet may rest firmly on the ground, and at the same time he can rest by letting his weight be borne by a swing. lie will soon learn to let himself rest in this way, so there will be no danger of overtaxing weak muscles. We saved a valuable animal in this way after it had been"on the lift" for two months. • —J. L. Irwin, in Ohio Farmer. FACTS FOR FARMERS. Feed so as to make the most out of the feed, as well as the most out of the stock. It is cheaper to kill and cure suffi cient meat now than to buy next spring or summer. As soon as the ground freezes hard apply more covering to the fruit and vegetable pits. After an animal is reasonably well fattened the lighter feeding usually be comes less profitable. A lot of stock uniform as to size, col or, weight and form will bring bel ler prices than a mixed lot. It is not the amount the stocl: sells for, but the amount of profit detived that counts to the farmer. The team that is expected to do the hauling during the winter should be well shod, and sh'ouhl have good blan kets to protect them at any time they may be left standing in the cold. —N. J. Shepherd, in Kansas Farmer. WitrniliiK Fooil for Stock. Most of the advantages of cooking food, and especially of food containing much water, come from feeding it warm, if grain of any kind is fed it will do more good if ground and fed dry than if cooked. Ileat expands all sub stances that contain starch. If fed dry the animal eats mere than it supposes it is eating. The expansion occurs in the stomach, and the animal, if a rum inant, lies down to chew its cud and in dulge in the long sleep that insures good health and good digestion. If horses are fed too much it often causes colic. How to Feed Corn Foildor. The old way of feeding corn fodder should give way to the new as fast as men can afford to invest in fodder cutters and shredders. By the old way, waste was encouraged. The large ends of the stalks were uneaten and had to be cast out as rubbish. They were not even fit t<o be used for bed ding. Where shredding is possible these same stalks are not only ren dered fit for the cows to eat, but if, by jhance, anything be left, it is suitable tor beading." Farmers' Review. NEEDED THE SOAP.

EVERY CHILD born into the world with an inherited or early developed tendency to distressing, disfiguring humors of the skin, scalp, and blood, becomes an object of the most tender solicitude, not only because of its suffering but because of the dreadful fear that the disfiguration is to be lifelong and mar its future happiness and prosperity. Hence it becomes the duty of mothers of such afflicted children to acquaint themselves with the best, the purest, and most effective treat ment available. That the Cuticura remedies nre nil that could he desired for the alleviation of the suffering of skin-tortured in fants and children and the comfort of worn-out worried mothers has been demonstrated in countless homes in every land. Their absolute safety, purity, aud sweetness, instantaneous and grateful relief, speedy cure, and great economy leave nothing more to be desired by anxious parents. Evidence is found in the mass of letters received from grateful parents, testifying to the incalculable bene fits they have derived from the use of these preparations in the treatment of infantile skin and scalp disorders. There is a'ring of truth and sincerity about, the testimo nials here submitted that stamps them genuine, and when a mother writes, as does Mrs. E. Butler of 1289 Third Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y., in simple, grateful language, of the good Cuticura has accomplished in her home, Earents everywhere must regard these remedies as house old necessities. Mrs. Butler says: "My oUleHt boy, njrc nine year*, was troubled with sorCB on different parts of the body, especially on the leg, about twenty-four In all. They were about the size of a live-cent piece, and would fester very much and eject a pus. They were very painful. A fter my former experience with the cure of my little girl with CL'TJ CUR A remedies, 1 did not bother with the doctor in this case, y gave him the CUTICURA treatment which completely cured lain, four weeks. As a rule, my four children are very robust and healthy, these two, the baby and the eldest boy, being the only ones ever troubled with anything like this I mentioned, but thanks to CUTICUKA remedies they are all now in perfect health." What can be moro convincing to a mother than the following graphic letter from Mrs. J. C. Freese of 300 South First Street, Brooklyn, N. Y.: "My baby was about four weeks old when he began to puffer from that terrible disease, eczema. I tried every remedy I thought would do him good. I even called in the doctor, but 1 used his medicine to no account. 1 did not know what to do with him. He cried all the time and his face was equal to a raw piece of meat. It was horrible, and looked as if there never was any skin on it. I had to carry him around on a pillow. 1 was fairly discouraged. I wan then recommended to use CUTICUKA remedies. The first time 1 used them I could see the change. I used about half a box of CUTICURA Ointment, and not one half cake of CUTICUHA SOAP, and at the end of one short week my baby was entirely cured. There has never been a trace of it since. Today his skin Is as smooth and soft as a piece of eilk." Another remarkable instance of the effectiveness of the Cuticura remedies is found in the terrible experience of the baby daughter of Mr. I{. A. Lapham, 111 "'i West Side Square, Springfield, 111. Mr. Lapham writes as follows: "Our little daughter was troubled from licr birth with eczema. Iter face, arms, hands, and neck would break out with red pimples which would swell and become terribly inflamed, water would ooze out like great beads of perspiration, finally this would dry up and the skin would crack and peel off. She suffered terribly. Had to wear soft mittens on her hands to keep her from scratching. We gave two of our leading physicians a good trial, but neither of them helped her in the least. 1 purchased CUTICUHA SOAP, CUTICUKA Ointment, and CI'TICUHA 111- SOLVENT. She improved at once and la now never troubled, although we used less than one bottle of RESOLVENT, three boxen of CUTICUKA, and CUTICUHA SOAP." In a few forceful words, Mrs. C. Brand of Conesville, N. Y., vividly portrays an experience common to many mothers, and her letter, which follows, is full of comfort and encouragement for anxious parents: "Two years ago this winter my boy began to break out with a scaly rash. It nearly covered his back and calves of legs. I heard glowing reports of CUTICUKA remedies and thought to try them. Three cakes of CUTICUKA SOAP, two boxes of CUTICURA Ointment, one bottle of CUTICUKA RESOLVENT cured him. I thiuk them wonderful remedies." p;i its.

WOMEN OF THE UNITED STATES Regard Pcruna as Their Shield Against Catarrh, Coughs, Colds, Grip and Catarrhal Diseases. MRS. ILELVA Mrs. I?elva Lockwood, the eminent barrister, of Washington, T). C., is the - only woman who has ever been a candidate for the Presidency of the Lnited 112 States. She is the best known woman in America. As the pioneer of her sex in the loyal profession she lias gathered fame and fortune, in a letter to The Peruna Medicine Company, she says: v "I have used your Peruna. both for myself and my mother, Mrs. Hannah J. Bennett, ncnu in her 88th year, and I find it an invaluable remedy for cold, catarrh, hay fever and kindred diseases; also a good tonic I for feeble and old people, or those run dovjn, and vjith nerves unstrung." Yours truly, Belva A. Locknvood. ' Catarrh may attack any organ of the body. Women are especially liable to catarrh of the pelvic organs. There are one hundred cases of catarrh of the j pelvic organs to one of catarrh of the head. Most people think, because they have no catarrh of the head, they have no catarrh at all. This is a great mis -1 take, and is the cause of many cases of sickness and death. " Health and - Beauty" sent free to women only, by The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio. The economy of the Cuticura treatment is shown by the letter of Mr. XV. M. Nichell, of Lexington, Okl., who spent one thousand dollars with doctors, specialists, and medical colleges in a vain attempt to find relief for his little son. A friend recommended the use of the < 'uticura remedies, and he gives the following account of the cure:— " My son, when he was six weeks old, had a breaking out on the top of his head. It spread all over his head, and then his arms broke out from shoulder to wrist. Around bis body and around bis legs from his knees to his ankles, was a solid scab. My family doctor treated him for eighteen pionths, but no good was accom plished. I tried four more, and then a medical college In St. Louis six months. No good yet. Spent not less than a thousand dol lars in money and time. Old Mr. Barney Clap Insisted on my trying CUTICURA remedies, telling me he had a spell like my child's himself. By the time my wife had used the CUTICURA Ointment up, he began to Improve and got so he could sleep short naps, and gave me and my wife some rest. Thank the Lord, he is now well, fat, hearty, and stout as any boy, after six long years of itching, crying, and worrying. CUTICUKA remedies cured him." Three children in one household suffering simultane ously from eczema. Such was the distressing condition ~>f Mrs. Annie liing of F>ls East Thirteenth Street, New .jrk City, who tells her experience in these words : "My second child got eczema when seven moß'-ha old. Three months later my first child got it, and following htji the last one, two years old, fell a victim. For twenty months they suffered fearful agony. Their whole bodies, especially their faces, were so eore and raw that the little ones were blind half the time. No words can describe the suirering of my second child, whose wliolo body was one bloody mass. He was constantly crying, could get no sleep, and he actually did not look human. I tried doctor after doctor, but none afforded the slightest relief. I decided to try CUTl critA. The first application brought relief In each case, and after fourteen days' treatment with CUTICURA SOAP and CUTICUKA Ointment, the worst case was cured, and the whole neighborhood 1B surprised at the wonderful effect of CUTICUKA." One of the most wonderful of cures is that of the little daughter of Mrs. G. A. Conrad of Lisbon, N. 11., whose sufferings from eczema were so intense that her hands had to he tied to keep her from tearing her flesh. The mother writes: " When my little girl was six months old, she had eczema. Wo had used cold creams and all kinds of remedies, but nothing did her any good; in fact, she kept getting worse. I used to wrap her hands up, and when I would dress her, I had to put her en the table, for I could not hold her. She would kiek and scream, and. when she could, she would tear her face and arms almost to pieces- I used four boxes of CUTICUHA Ointment, two cakes of CUTICURA. SOAP, and the CUTICURA RESOLVENT, and she was cured, and I see no traces of the humor left. I can truthfully say that they have saved her life." It will afford us pleasure to have parents whose little ones are afflicted with any form of skin, scalp, or blood humor, write to any one of the above addresses for cor roboration of the facts given, and we have no doubt that such an appeal will elicit still stronger testimony regard ing the wonderful curative properties of the CUTICURA remedies. The full set, for complete external and internal treatment, costs but $1.25, and consists of CUTICURA SOAP (25C.), to cleanse the skin of crusts and scales and soften the thickened cuticle; CUTICURA Ointment (50c.), to instantly allay itching, irritation, and inflammation, and soothe ai?d heal, and CUTICURA RESOLVENT (50C.), to cool and cleanse the blood. A single set is often sufficient to cure the, most torturing, disfiguring skin, scalp, and blood humors, rashes, iteli ings, and irritations, with loss of liair, when the best physicians, and all other remedies fail.
