A Travelled Fish That Was Exhibited at the St. Louis Exposition. 1?' Among the fishes at the Aquarium likely to catch the eye of one strolling along the banks is an alert and vigorous channel bass about three feet long and weighing probably about thirty pounds. This big fish conies up, head to the front, and balances itself. in .the water, facing the spectator, and then it swings its tail like throwing over a rudder and sheers off and goes sailing around the tank, an embodiment of strength and power. This particular channel bass, caught in the Atlantic Ocean, came to the Aqua- rium from the St. Louis Exposition of 1904, where it was one of the live exhi- bits of the United States Bureau of Fish- eries. At the close of the exposition, with a considerable number of other fishes, it was sent to the New York Aquarium, the big bass being now one of the few survivors of the lot. The channel bass gets its name because of the fact that it does not frequent shallow waters, but keeps in deeper wa- ters in. the channels. It is also known by the name of spotted bass because of a black spot on either side of the tail at the base of the upper lobe of the tail fin. It does not often come up into the wa- ters of New York Bay, but is caught all along the coast from Sandy Hook south of Florida, and around into the Gulf. Southern visitors to the Aquar- ium look upon the channel bass here with a friendly eye. Around Cape May channel bass fishing is a sport; Philadelphia anglers go there to fish for them with a rod. There are sportsmen who think it as good sport to catch a big channel bass as it is to catch a tarpon. In the three years and a half and more that it has been here this channel bas at the Aquarium has increased in depth of body about two inches and it has in- creased about ten inches in length. It eats about half a pound of fresh herring or fresh codfish daily, or eight or ten good sized hard clams, removed from the shell. It is in good condition and still growing. G Only those who suffer from tiles can know the agony, the burning, throbbing, shooting, stabbing painswhiohthis aahneut causes and the way it wreaks the sufferer's life ! Elam-Buk is blessed by thousands who used to suffer from pilus, but whom it has cured. Ono such grateful person is Mrs. Elizabeth Taylor of Greenwood .Avenue, Toronto. She says ; "For four long years I suffered acutely from bleeding piles. During that time Ispent an immense amount of money on 'remedies' and doctor's prescriptions but I got no ease. Zara-Buk was differ- ent to everything else I had tried and it cured me. I ani grateful for the cure, and as I have never had piles once since, I know tho curo is permanent." e 0:Another thankful woman is Mrs. A. E. Gardiner, of Catelina, Trinity Bay. She says : "In any case Zam-Buk effec- ted a wonderful vitro. For 12 `cars I had been troubled with blind, bleeding and protruding piles. T Iiad been using various kinds of ointments, etc., but. never came across anything to do me good vntil I tried Zam-Buk which cured me! That this may bo the means of helping some sufferers from pilus to try Zara-Buk is the wish of one who has found great relief." Zam-Buk le a purely herbal helmand should bo in every home!

The Bain] 1114 beneftIs Story of Dying Trees. Attention has recently been directed to the number of trees in Glasgow which are in a dying state, their sickly condi- tion being attributed to smoke. A cor- respondent mentions a singular coinci- dence in regard to five trees whirl). a John Pattison planted in the centre of his garden in Kelvingrove on the birth of his five sons. Two of his sons cued early in the nineteenth century, but three lived till after 1850, when there were only three of the trees standing. On the night that his son Matthew died one of the trees fell, and on the night of Frederick and John's death (some years between)one of the trees fell, cer- tainly, as the writer remarks, a singular eoincidence.—Glasgow Herald.

Sears, of Lynn, has returned from his vacation at Lewiston, Me., with a remarkable tale of the way liquor is served in the prohibition !tate. ,Sears says that a friend took him into a place where several men were drinking and ordered some beer. The room was with- out furniture or fixtures, save for one table, a few chairs and the gas jets. While Sears was wondering where the beer was to come from the proprietor stepped to a gas jet and turned it on, whereat the amber fluid flowed forth as from the spigot of a keg. Tho proprietor filled the glasses of Sears and his friend, and then two other for customers drew forth two mugs of ale from another gas jet. After that he produced a glass of tvhiskoy from a gas jet. Seeing that there was several more gas jets in the room Sears, as a test of the proprietor's reeources, was about to call for a Martini cocktail when sudden- ly there were alarms and asicurryings without, followed by a noise like a squad of liquor deputies, Instantly the proprietor sprang to a corner and pressed an invisible button. Wondering what the effect of this might be, Sears turned on the beer gas jet, but nothing came forth. "The gas is shut off," said the pro- prietor, with a wink. Sears was unable to learn where the liquor came from. He says he thinks the proprietor had tanks in the walls.—Boston Herald. Saving Time.

In discussing further the matter of transportation, Mrs. Seabury remark- ed that, notwithstanding the heat, she could wear her winter coat over, leave it. and return for her spring coat. The idea charmed her imprac• tical husband. "Why, I can do the same thing!" he said. "I'll wear over one suit and then come back for another !"— Youths' Companion." Where Meerschaum is Used as Soap. ":Meerschaum, before its hardening, makes good soap. I have often washed my hands with it." The speaker, a missionary of unim- peachable veracity, frowned at the in- credulous smiles of his guests, and then went on: "It was in Morocco. There, on the coast, down toward the Atlas Mountains, meerschautn is plentiful, far more plen- tiful than soap. It wouldn't pay to ship it to the Dutch meerschaum careers — hence it is either used as soap or let alone. "In the crude state, you know, it is as soft as 'butter. It rubs up into a first rate lather. It removes the dirt fairly well."—Frohn the Minneapolis Journal. Solving Wedding Present Problem.

"In a hollow tree, during my vacation, I found two young owls," said a stud- ent. "I also found in the same nest two eggs.

"The farmer told me that country people know well that the owl, after hatching half her brood, leaves the other eggs to be hatched by the new born lards. These young are warm blooded, they are helpless to leave the nest, and in nine cases out of ten they complete the hatch as well as the mother would have done.
