QUEER JAPANESE FISH
One That Uses Its Fin cs a Sail How
the Dorado z CcugUt
One of the most interesting of fish
of Japanese waters is the oriental sail
fish Ilistiophorus orientalis The
generic name given by Dr Guenther
means the sail bearer and refers to
the huge dorsal Im possessed by the
species
The fin stands higher than the body
above it and is used as a sail before
the wind It Is a large fish ten feet iu
length and weighing 1U0 pounds They
swim about usually in pairs in rough
and windy weather with the huge fins
above the water
It is a favorite food fish and the an
nual catch is nearly 2000000 pounds
The sail fish is caught by means of a
harpoon
Another food fish known as a dol
phin or dorado is sometimes caught in
a curious way The fishes congreite
under a decoy bush and raft made of
bamboos and are then caught by hooks
baited with squids or the decoy bush
is surrounded by a seine net and the
dolphins are driven by beating the sur
face of the water with sticks This fish
is eaten both fresh and salt and is as
great a favorite in western Japan as
the salmon is in the northeast Zoolo

Scotch Sabbath
For traveling trading and all the
things one must not do on the Sab
bath Scotland of course must ever
hold the palm Not in the seventeenth
century alone but through all the
ages and even unto the present day
the Scotch Sunday has a law unto it
self There is the experience of James
Payn for instance in the Edinburgh
of only the seventies In the street
where I first resided he wrote it
struck me that to judge by the drawn
down blinds the people spent a good
deal of their time upon the seventh
day in bed On my second Sunday
however I was undeceived for my
landlady came up and informed me
that though she had not spoken of it
last Sunday she must now draw my
attention to the fact that it was not
usual in Edinburgh to draw up the
window blinds on the Sabbath and
that the neighbors had begun to re
mark upon the unlawful appearance
of her estrblishinent which had here
tofore been a God fearing house

Heat as a Healer
Heat Is one of the most important of
Stimulants to living cells The hot
bath is the commonest means of apply
ing heat as a therapeutic agent and is
useful in a great number of condi
tions especially to plethoric individ
uals and in advanced tuberculosis
The usefulness of local applications of
hot -water is well known The general
hot douche is a remarkable means to
bring blood to the surface of the body
to accelerate the circulation etc Ex

CONTROL THE EMOTIONS-
One of the Essential Conditions oF
Nervous Eal2nce
Now then can the nervous sufferer
hell hitnseitV To begin with he
should ask himself What is there Iu
my physi al life which may nccount
for my u rv us weakness Is my diet
FUciet i ntity and nutritious in
quality I 1 get uuouh sleep Is
ii v ctI c Is my environ
ment in auj iLgiee suited to my tastes
and aptitude These are simple ques
tions and yet upon their answer often j
depends the possibility of nervous
health or nervous disease If the suf
ferer discovers that any f the phys
ical aus es of a nervous breakdown
are in operation it is obvious that it is
his first duty to liht against these
causes to lessen them and if possible
to remove them altogether In the
next placeand this is especially to he
noted by nervous women one of the
essential conditions of nervous bal
ance is the control of the emotions
The tendency on the slightest provoca
tion to give vt t a paroxysm of
tears is us because it leads to
wetk leos bodily and mental No
doubt there are moments of poignant
agony when teirs are natures benefi
cial provision for some relief to an
overstrained nervous and mental or
ganism but thesr moments come at
rare Intervals in our lives and as a
rule so far from weakening our men
tal or moral life they uplift and purify
it What nervous people must be
warned against is the tendency to let
themselves go because of some petty
worry or some slight domestic differ
ence or through some morbid imnulse
to self pity Ite v S S McComb in

DUTCH SPORTS
Holland the Land cf Sleighing Sledg
ing and Skating
Probably no other boys and girls had
better times than the Dutch boys and
girls in old and new Netherland Hol
land says W E Grillls in his book
The Story of New Netherland is the
land of skates and sleighs Children
and young people hardly learn to
skate they begin it naturally and keep
it up all their lives Whether for fun
or in parties or to go to the market to
church to weddings or funerals they
move 13 rapid transit on steel A pair
of skates is a passport to comrade
ship
Every habit and each trick known on
Holland canals or ponds was repro
duced on the Mohawk and Hudson
There was the iceboat or sailboat on
runners sometimes reduced for swift
ness to a long plank with crosspieces
for seats and with skate irons Equip
ped with mast canvas and some cour
age it seemed to race with the wind
itself
As for coasting wherever flat Hol
land could show a hill or slope or
Friesland furnished a torp or artificial
mound there were the boys and girls
at fun On the ice lady or lass sat in
a hand sleigh while husband or swain
pushed as he skated
All this shows the reason why New-burg-on-the-Hudson
and Albany and
the hills of Dorp are so famous for
coasting and the North river for ice
yachts and why from the first genera
tion of settlers the Dutch American
towns were noted for sledding sleigh
ing and skating
A Fishing Story
Angling has some very marvelous
incidents among its many records
Hampshire has its true tale of a duck
which became entangled in a trout
line and breaking off the gut trailed
the fly behind her and actually hooked
a fair sized fish The struggle be
tween the two must have been as ex
traordinary as that of the Dumfries
gander which became similarly at
tached to a line and hook baited with
dead frog
In this case a voracious pike was
hooked and a veritable tug of war en
sued in which the astonished bird
performed sundry somersaults on the
surface of the water until victory at
last rewarded the feathered angler
which towed to shore one of the
largest fish ever caught in that par
ticular loch And that the tale is true
makes it all the more interesting

Girls With Boys Names
Girls with boys names and boys
with girls have received them in
many instances no doubt by accident
It was so in the case of George Anne
Bellamy the famous eighteenth cen
tury actress who played Juliet to
Garricks Romeo Born on St George
day she was to be called Georgiana
but somebodys blunder at the time
of her christening split this into
George Anne The corn law rhy
mer Ebenezer Elliott had a daugh
ter named Noah whose passport is
said to have given her much trouble
abroad But here as in the case of
other girl Noahs it was only other
neonles Biblical ignorance that was
at fault for turn up Numbers xxxvi
11 and you will find that Mahlah 1 lr
zah Hoglah llilcah and Noah were
the daughters of Zelophehad London

hardly able to stoop and to go up and
down stairs was an action attended with
much misery If I exerted myself a
dull aching across my back would be

to lie down and rest The secretions
from my kidneys were also too frequent
in action and annoyed me a great deal
