Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

To preserve fish.-Fish may be preserved from dying and putrefaction in warm weather, by introducing into their throats a paste made of soft bread and Brandy, and wrapping them in straw. A little should be poured into the mouth after the paste has been put in, and great care taken not to wound the fish. They will live in this condition ten or twelve days, and then, after being placed in fresh water, in a few hours recover from their stupor, and are as lively as ever.
