Tlio natives on a certain romoto island in tho Pacific, according to a rooont visitor from Auckland, havo devisod a novel scheme, which provontod any scarcity of food. In tho ccntro of their island thero is a shallow lagoon, its urnckisli waters closely strewn with vegetation upon which fish might thrive. .Regularly every Friday tho islanders' put to sea, catch hundreds of young fish, and transfer them alivo from tho sea to tho island lagoon. There they are allowed to grow, and often when supplies aro low and a heavy sea running on tho roof, tho natives may bo seen wading knoe deep in their lagoon, spearin<r tho fish which a few months earlier they had placed thero against tho coming nf unseasonable weather. "XAZOIV' is the "handy" cough remedy. Keep a bottle in your vest pocket. A dose in timo saves nine. Small bottle —big rcsulta. 4
