FLYING FISH CAUSES A FIGHT..
Cowen- Abroad a Steamer, Striking a Man

The captain of a steamship plying between
Jamaica and Barbadoee arrived in New
York recently from Havana. Some of hi

for a long time. Here to one: Among his
passengers on a regent voyage were two old,
quartermasters of the British navy, the

Sometimes they got into heated arguments,
but invariably wound up with a sip from
each other's flask. One afternoon as they
were walking up and down the deck, quar-
reling oven the question of disestablishment.
the captain, who happened to be looking
straight at them from' the bridge, caw a
flyingfieh come over the bows and strike
the quartermaster, who was doing most of
the talking at that particular moment,
square in the jaw. It was a terriflo blow.
The fish weighed about three quarters of a
pound and, coming with a lively wind, was
almost like a Minis ball. Itneerly knocked
the quartermaster down. He, heated with
his argument., because on the losing side,
supposed that hie friend had taken offence
at acme remark and etr,ok him with his
fiat, 411 the British balking blood wile
boiling hot ou the instant, and, hauling off,
he delivered a righthand awing that sent
quartermaster No. 2 to the .deck. 'Then at
it they went, hammer and tongs. The
captain hurried down to separate them,
which he did only by the hardest sort of
work. Holding them apart as well as he
could, be ran his eye over their bruised and
pattered faces, their disheve .all hair, their
disordered clothes, and ask- 1 what they
were fighting about. "Ha .dt me in the
jaw,” said No. 1. ''He bit me drat," said
No. 2, "It's a lie," said No. 1. "lie hit
me first, and I allow no man, friend or
enemy, tobit me like that." They kept it
up for some time, each trying to got at the
other, till the captain pointed at the poor
little fish lying in the lee scuppers, and
explained the nature of the first blow.
After glaring at each other for a moment
they &hook hands without a word and wend,

a cold bottle settled the rest.
Paying a Hotel Bill in Japan.
Canon Tristram, in the Leisure Hour,
gives an amusing account of settling hie.
hotel bill in Japan. "The final reckoning
with our hoot," ,aye the Canon, "was to
me a most amusing illustration of the
national courtesies. Mr. Kanaya acted as
though the produotion'of his bill were the
moatpaiuful effort, and at length reluet-
antly brought it forth, consisting of a
number of Chinese sorawle on atrtps of
tieeue paper. On bended knees and for
head touching the mat, did my friend push
it forward, I, bowing as well as my stiff
Western bank would permit me, pieced
the proper sum, wrapped in thin white
paper, before him, for nothing is more
illbred than to hand coin `without its being
wrapped in paper. Again it was received
with bowing, low, lower, lowest ; but it is
always the rule of politeness to pay some-
thing niore than the bill -in fact, to pay a

Therefore, wrapping a yen (dollar) in white

" I have much pleasure in re-
commending the Great South Ameri.
oan Nervine Tonin to all who are
afflicted as I have been with nervous
prostration and indigestion. I found
very great relief from the very first
bottle, which was strongly recom-
mended to me by my druggist. T
also induced any wife to use it, who,
I roust say, was completely run down
and was suffering very mull from
general debility= She found great
relief from South American Nervine
and also cheerfully recommends it
to her fellow -sufferers.

It is now a scientific fact that oer-
tain nerve centres located near the
base of the brain have entire control
over the stomach, Iiver, heart, lungs
and indeed all internal organs ; that
le, they furnish ,these organ$ with
the necessary nerve force to enable
them to perform their respective
work. When the nerve centres aro

theliverbecomes torpid, the kidneys
will not ant properly, the heart and
lungs suffer, and in fact the whole'
system becomes weakened and sinks
on account of the leak of nerve force,
South American Nervine is based
on the foregoing scientific discovery1,
and is so prepared that it acts
directly on the nerve centres. It
immediately increases the nervous
energy of the whole system, thereby
enabling the different organs of the
body to perform their work perfectly,
when disease at once disappears.
It greatly benefits in one day. f
Mr. Solomon Bond, a member of
the Society of Friends, of Darlington,
Ind., writes: "I have used six bottles
of South American Nervine and I
consider that every bottle did for me
one hundred dollars worth of'good,'
because I. have not had a goats
night's sleep for twenty years on
a000unt of irritation, pain, horrible'
dreams, and general nervous pros-?
tration, which has been caused by'
chronic: indigestion and dyspepsia of
the stomach, and by a broken down
condition of my nervous system.

night as sweetly as a baby, and $
feel like 'a sound man. I do not'{
