A unique automatic fishlinj device has Wea patented by a colored man of lAiuisviLle, which has attracted some ofXeniion. The unique feature of his invention is that it can be attached to a po as au ordinary reel or it can he. placed on u tripod on the ground. Any ordinary line can be used, the mechanism wound up as a clock and the invention will catch the fish without any further attention on the part of the TiJijjltt". When the fish strikes the hook id the water the reel w ill automatically fiic it, pull it into the shore and ring t hell to let the angler know that the "i-h is caught. The reel will play a Us'j f,Ti day, keep a tight line and just as the fish stops resisting the ne:l will automatically land the prey.

Mrs. I. W. Lee, Montgomery, Ala., writes: Some years ago I was inoculated with poison by a nurse who infected my babe with blood taint. I was covered with sores and ulcers from head to foot, and in my great extremity I prayed to die. Several prominent physicians treated me, out all to no purpose. The mercury and potash which they gave me seemed to add fuel to the awful flame which was devouring me. I wag advised by friends who had seen wonderful cures mode by it, to try Swift's Specific. I im proved from the start, as the medicine seemed to go direct to the cause of the trouble and force the poison out . Twenty bottles cured me completely." Swift's Specific S. S. S.

What happened in Berlin, however, mnv cause the curators of some of our museums to take down their signs. It w as observed in Iterlin that those parts of the bronze statues which were sur reptitiously handled by the public re tained a good surface. This led to the conclusion that fat had something to do with it. An experiment was there fore tried for some years with four bronzes. One wns coated every day with oil nnd wiped with cloth; another was washed every day with water; the third was similarly washed, but was oiled twice a year; and the fourth was left untouched, just as our bronzes re main isolated behind the notices, "Hands oft." The first looked beauti ful; the third, which had been oiled twice a year, was passable; the second looked dead; ond the fourth was dull and black. It is probably a fact not generally known that the ancient Greeks polished their statues by con- stunt hand rubbing.
