GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY
Tho Result of Imperfect Digestion of
Food.
Evcty living thing, plant or animal,
contains within Itself the germs of cer
tain decay and death.
In the human body these germs of
disease nnd death (called by scientists
Ptomaines) aro usually tho result of
Imperfect digestion of food; the result
of Indigestion or dyspepsia.
The stomach, from abuse, weakness,
does not promptly and thoroughly
digest tho food. Tho result is a heavy,
bodden mass which ferments (the first
process of decay), poisoning tho blood,
making It thin, weak, nnd lacking In
red corpuscles; poisoning the binln,
causing headaches und pain In the
eyes.
Bad digestion Irritates the heart,
causing palpitation and finally bilng
Ing on disease of this very Important
organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys,
causing Brlght's disease and diabetes.
And this Is so because every oigon,
every nerve depends upon tho stomach
alone for nourishment and renew ul,
and weak digestion shows Itself not
only In loss of appetite and flesh, but
In weak nerves nnd muddy complexion.
The great English scientist, Huxley,
said tho best start In life Is a sound
stomach. Weak stomachs fall to digest
food properly, because they lack tho
proper quantity of dlgcBtlvo acids (lac
tlo nnd hydiochlorlc) nnd pcptogenlo
products; the most sensible remedy In
all cases of Indigestion la to take after
each meal one or two of Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets, because they supply In
a pleasant, harmless form all the ele
ments that weak stomachs lack.
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspep
sia Tablets will euro every form of
btomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach.
They Incicase flesh, Insure pure blood,
strong nerves, a bright eye nnd clenr
complexion, because all these lcsult
only from wholesome food well di
gested Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's
Dyspopsla Tablets at 50 cents full sized
package or by mall by enclosing price

Known First to the Egyptians, But
Perfected by the Romans
In an interesting article on 'Orna
mental Glass In All Ages" In the Wo
man's Home Companion, Orlena L.
Shaeklefdrd has this to nay of the an
tiquity of glasH "The EgyptlnnB used
glass ornaments largely for personal
decoration. Necklaces, bracelets, beads,
scarabael, etc., of exquisite bcautv
have been discovered In their tombs.
It also served to bedeck clothing, and
Innumerable domestic objects were
made of It for dally use. Indeed, this
accommodating medium was adapted
by them to an infinity of purpose?, be
ing blown, cast, rolled, wrought or cut,
as the ivoiker willed, whether Into
statues of their gods or as glass eyes
for tho sightless sockets of their mum
mies, to express the wish of the soul
to arrive safe and whole nt the end of
It Journey. The RomuiiB excelled the
Egyptians as extensive users of glass
It served them for decoration to walls
and floors.for all sort of domestic ves
sels, cinerary urns nnd coftlns (tho
Egyptians burled Alexander the Great
In a glass collln), for ornaments, toys,
dice, draughts, chessmen and water
clocks We read of a table of solid
emerald that was carried off by the
Goths when they sacked tho Eternal
City, but it Is now considered not to
have been of precious stone only fine
green glass or Jasper yet deemed suf
ficiently valuable to be set with pcails
und mounted In gold.
"These great builders tho moot prac
tlcal of antiquity wcie not slow to
realize tho value of this transparent
medium as u means for transmitting
light Into their palaces and temples;
but their window-panes wero only from
seven to ten Inches square, and tho
glass was more green than white, lack
ing tho crystal clearness of our mod
ern productions. Glass mirrors wero
known to the Egyptians and Romans.
Specimens have been found In tho
tombs of tho former, and documentary
evidence from Pliny, Seneca, Lucretius
and others undoubtedly proves their
possession by tho latter. Glass was
used for lamps In Pompeii, but wo
have no evidence of Its being applied
to such n purpose In Egypt, where It
was appropriated more largely to orna
mentnl and decorative rather than do
mestic purposes."
MYSTERIES OF THE MACKEREL.
Appear nt But Few Points and No
body Knows Whence They Come.
Prom tho Fishing Gazette.
The keenest Interest now centers In
the mackerel fishery. The first faro of
tho season was landed at tho Fulton
fish market slip on Tuesday of last
week, ten days In advance of the first
cargo lust year, and only five days bo
hind the enrllest catch on record. Nor
for yeais has the outcome of tho son
son's operations been so widely dis
cussed as now. Thcro aro reasons for
It, of course. They nio to bo found In
tho fnct that of late years tho supply
of salt mackerel has been Inadequate
for tho nepds of consumption. Prices,
owing to the scarcity of tho fish, have
gradually rlaen to a point above tho
means of tho poorer classes tho lar-gi-st
consumers of salt mackerel and
tho fish have become a luxury, almost,
on tho tables of the well-to-do.
Year after year since tho season of
1SS0, the year when tho fishery first be
gan to show signs of a decline, fisher
men and llsh dealers have watched tho
advent of each season hopefully. Tho
movements of tho llsh as they ap
proached tho const have been carefully
observed, nnd signs that In the seasons
of greatest success foreshadowed or
attended the coming of tho schools
havo been more or Ipss In evidence.
Old fishermen who have followed the
schools tip and down the coast until
their hair has grown while as the
foam-capped waves havo gravely resd
the riddle of these signs und have fit
ted out their craft nnd pursued tho
capilclous fish throughout each season
with only a vague soit of Intuition
which they cannot Impart. Its move
ments are to them a mystery. They
know something of Its habits, when
It may be expected to appear off tho
coast, and that Is about all.
In this respect the fishery depait
ment Is no beter off. It Is known that
tho fish havo a migration along tho
coast, noithward In tho spring and
souhtward In tho autumn. It Is be
lieved that their appearance each year
is due to the marvelous Instinct of re
production which they possess In com
mon with other fishes, but what has
caused the alarming diminution In the
size of the schools that annually visit
our bhores Is a question on which
science nnd flshcimcn uic mute. It is
not a little disappointing to know that,
with the much-vaunted power of our
nineteenth century scientific knowledge
that apparent mystery of tho mackcr
al has not been solved.
This much we do know. In the early
part of March tho fish is greater or
less numbers stiikc the southern coast
In the vicinity of Cape Henry; by tho
middle of April the schools reach tho
capes of Delaware and slowly advance
past Barnegat and Sandy Hook. About
the middle of May, according to the
movement of fish in past years, a
school will arlvo at Yarmouth N. S.,
but whence it comes is buried in a
mystery. From the size and geneial
chaiacter of tho fish composing tho
school, It Is nppaient tnat they do not
belong to the great littoral schools
which advance from the south. There
fore It Is presumed that they come
from somewhere to the eastward In tho
deep sea.
Simultaneously with the appearance
of this latter school tho host of south
ern visitors, having by that time gone
as far as Nantucket will vanish with
a suddenous quite ns mysterious us
the appearance of tho school off Yar
mouth, only to reappear again In the
bay-Indented shores of Massachusetts.
Thencefotth until well Into tho month
of August the wateis will be more or
less frequented by the fish.
The roving habits of this fish aro
well known. They appear In and dis
appear fiom certain localities and
leave no sign, so that It Is impossible
to say with any degree of certainty
that the roving schools which first
visit tho bays of New England aro
Identical with those that remain
throughout the bcason. Of this much
we aro positive: Tho movements of
the fish ure piactlcally tho same now
as they were during tho period when
the muckeral fishery first nssumed any
degiee of importance, nbout the year
1820.
While certain details and important
data concerning tho eaily years of
the fishery Is lacking, enough is known
of the business to establish the fact
that between tho years 1S2." perhaps
earlier and 1S70 the method of cap
ture was largely with "Jigs," little
looks, with heavily loaded shanks. It
Is known, too, that Tor many yoais
that fishery was earned on almost ex
clusively by New England fishermen.
Trom the hamlets and fishing villages
around and about Cape Cod from 600
too 900 craft of vailous sizes engaged
in tho capturo of fish. In those days,
und well down to within a few years,
tho boats rarely went further south
than Absecom light Rich harvests
of tho fish wero found abreast of San
dy Hook an1 about the shores of Block
Islands. The darting fins of gleaming
millions of fish rippled the waters for
miles along the roast. One lgnoiant

Jonas Long's Sons
of tho Immensity of the sea's ast
resources nnd the wonderful fecund
ity of the fishes therein would doubt
less listen -with Incredulous amaze
ment If told of tho number of fish one
of the large schools contains
Mackeral fishermen of less than a
generation ago describe the schools as
seen by them being "windrows of fl9h
hundreds of yards wide and miles
long." And one school seen off Block
Island In the 70s was estimated to
contain upwards of a million barrels
of fish. It Is Idle to remark, perhaps,
that schools like these are never seen
novvadaj s. The mighty multitude com
ing In from the sea Is broken up In
to countless small detachments long
before the fish strike tho coast.
Tho banner J car ot the mackeral,
fishery, all accounts agree, was the
season of 1831 In that year the total
amount of mackeral salted in New
England JRltcs was 43(1000 banqls.
