A Mans Fight With a Panther.

Savage animals are not yet extinct in
Vermont, as Thomas Peggington, of
East Richford, found to his cost few
mornings ago. He was on his way to
his sugar orchard, in company with his
dog, when he suddenly came face to face
with huge panther. The dog was torn
to pieces in a twinkling, and the beast
then turned his attention to Mr.. Peg
gington, who, though unarmed, kept his
presence of mind, and avoided the Great
ure's first spring by falling on his face.
The second time he was caught by the
shoulder, and II desperate struggle fol-
lowed, both rolling over and over on the
ground, and finally falling over preci-
pice twenty feet high, which ended the
combat. Mr.. Peggington lay uncon-
scious for several hours until found by
his friends, and he is so severely injured
that his recovery is doubtful The
panther has not been seen since the
fray, but it is thought he was badly hurt
by the fall, and party OF hunters are
looking for him.-Sprinafcld Repud-

Human Hair.

The trade in human hair continues to
increase at Marseilles, and it has now
became a staple article of commerce in
that city, Six or seven years ago the
annual quantity imported did not exceed
sixteen tons, but it had increased in 1878
to fifty and in 1875 to eighty tons, 1t
was thought that this total would never
be exceeded, but the returns for 1876
have already falsified the prediction, as
during the past year ninety-two tons
were registered as having arrived Mt
Marseilles Formerly all the hair i'm
ported into Marseilles came from Italy,
but that country has been unable to meet
the increasing demand, and brisk
trade has been opened with the extreme
East Thus of the ninety-two tons i'm
ported last year forty-three came from
Italy, while China supplied thirty-six,
Turkey five, and Japan three tons, the re-
mainder being made up of importations
from Egypt, India, Germany, Belgium,
Spain and Algeria. The total quantity
of hair imported into France last year is
estimated at 122 tons, value, $500, 900.

Who They Are.

The Miridites, whom the Turks are
now fighting, are tribe of Albanian
Christians, of Greek extraction, and liv-
ing near Greece. They have always
been turbulent and troublesome to the
Turks, though at times would make
common cause with their rulers, and
then would furnish among the best and
bravest soldiers to be found in the Otto
man army. During the Greek revolu-
ton of 1919 they were disposed to side
with their congeners in race and religion,
but ill-feeling born of chronic quarrels
between the Greekish tribes led to their
offers of assistance being repealed. At
the siege of Tripolizza. Oct. 5, 1921,
5000 Albanians, who formed part of the
garrison of the place, offered to unite
with the Greek assailants, but the latter
repealed the offer, and, succeeding in
forcing their way into the place, began a
terrible massacre, in which no distiction
was made between Albanian and Turk
Notwithstanding this, the Albanians came
over to the help of the Greeks in the
siege of Arta. but were again treated SO
badly that they became the bitter enc
mics of the Revolutionists. It was in
an attack upon the Miridites that Marco
BozarTis lost his life, while melting his
Suliote followers to
Strike-till the last armed foe expires;
Strike-for your affairs and your fires;
Strike-for the green graves of your sires,
God and your native land.

SuperstitiOn.

A panacea, or cure-all, Is one Of the myths
Of the age of superstition. DIR. r. V. Pierce
does not recommend any one or even his whole
list of standard remedies as adequate to cure
every disease. For severe lingering coughs,
bronchial, throat and chronic lung diseases, he
believes his Golden Medical Discovery is unsur-
passed, but it will not you il your lungs are
half wasted by consumption. The Discovery
not only exercises potent influence over pull
monary affections, by reason Of its pectoral
properties but possesses also the most valuable
Alternative, or blood-cleansng properties, and Is
therefore sovereign remedy in blood and skin
affections. But, while it will cure scrofulous
and other ulcers or sores, blotches, pimples and
eruptions, il will not cnre cancer, nor does its
manufacturer claim any such merit for it as IL
done by proprietors of other blood-cleansing
medicines, who dishonesty try to deceive the at
ficted into the belief that their preparations will
accomplish impossibilities. Byreason of its real
intrinsic merit il has sale surprising that OF
any other blood and cough medicine.

The patent on the Batchelder needle
plate for sewing machines has expired,
and is now common property. This is
the last OF the patents held by three OF
the largest and best-known sewing-ma-
chine companies combined. These COM
panies have, by royalties exacted from
The only patent now remaining in force
relates simply to the minor details of
construction.
The expiration of these patents will
undoubtedly work very important
changes in the sewing machine trade,
and reduce the enormous prices which
have hitherto prevailed.
For many years outside companies
have paid royalties of from 81 to $50 on
each machine manufactured by them.
One company is said to have paid as
high as $50, 900 per annum in royalties
for term OF ten years, and at this out
10y their profits were still enormous. 1t
is fact of special interest to poor seam
stresses that the margin of profit in the
sewing machine business has been so
enormous as to allow manufacturers,
agents and canvassers joint profit of
400 to 500 per cent. The officers of
leading companies have admitted that
the first cost of the $50 and $40 machines
is only 81 to $15 apiece. The canvasser
rarely makes less than $40 on every ma
chine sold. The amount of money re-
ceived by the middle-men is, therefore,
enormous, as the annual sales reach hun
dreds of thousands in this country and
in Europe. The manufacturers say that
their share is only about so per cent. +,
and that large portion of this is con-
sumed i'll the maintenance of their large
establishments, in taxes, and in the un-
ending litigation which the protection of
their patents necessitates. Some idea of
the immense proportions of the sewing
machine business may be gathered from
the fact that one company last year sold
over go, 900 machines, and has about
so, 000,0 invested in it's business.
Another company has about $4,000, 900
invested, and some others do not fall far
behind these large figures. A great re-
duction in the price of machines is to
Immediately ensue. 1t is expected now
that the prices of machines will be COM
paratively so reasonable that the compa-
MES will not think it worth while to sell
on installments, nor will the poorer pub
lie find it beyond their reach topurchase
them outright

The Debris of the system

Must either pass through its natural channels
of exit the bowels, the kidneys and the pores,
or, in default thereof, poison and disorder the
fluids Of the system. In order to effect the
complete expulsion of this dangerous refuse,
the organs through which it passes off must
be active and unobstructed. Fortunately there
is certain means of rendering them so when
they are not. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters slim

by diffusing genial warmth through the cir
culation, encourage moderate perspiration. BY
this triple effect the exodus Of the focal and
other waste matters are encouraged, and the

Salt of the Sea.

Scientific men in all ages have been
puzzled to assign plausible reasons for
the saltishness of sea water. Two-thirds
of the globe may be said to be covered by
the sea- and, therefore, taking an average
depth at 5000 yards, and that this body
of water contains 81 per cent. of salt, we
have consequently existing in the sea no
less than go, 900, 600, 600, 900 tons of salt.
Were all this water to be dried up, then
we should have deposit of dry salt over
the entire bottom of the seas equal to
$50 wards in thickness. Were it all taken
from the sea andspread equally over the
whole surface of the dry land, it would
make a covering 900 feet in depth.

Insanity Among Negroes.

Until recently insanity was almost I'M
known among the negroes of the South
ern States. So isolated were the cases
that the few which occurred were sent to
the asylums of the whites. Now Virginia
has been compelled to set apart build
ing as an asylum for negroes, and there
are already 800 inmates. The hard
struggle for livelihood and intoxicating
liquors of the worst quality are at the
bottom of the new disease among the
Africans.
