A LAMPHREY'S NEST,

One day late in spring as I was passing
over bridge CHANGED to sec two lampreys
! or Hamper eels," as they are usually called,
engaged in building their nest in the creek
below me. 1t was one of the most curious
spcctaclcs ever saw in our stream. They
were Il few yards below the bridge, Just
where the water breaks from the still pool
beneath il, and flows with Il rapid current
over its roughly paved bottom They
were distnguishable from the yellowish
brown and black stones and pebbles amid
which they were working only by their mo-
tiOns. They were tugging away at the
small movable stones with great persistence.
| went down TO the waters edge where they
were within reach Of my staff, the better to
observe them. They would run up to the
edge of the still water and siege upon the
stones with their suction mouth and drag
them back with the current and drop them
upon their nest. | understood at once why
their nests, which had often observed be-
fore. were always placed at the beginning
OF a rift: it is that the fish may avail them
selves of the current in building them. The
water sweeps them back with the pebble in
their mouth, their only effort being in STEM
ming the current to siezc it, They arc thus
enabled 10 move stones which they could
not stir in still water.
I The stones varied in size from q walnut 10
| goose egg. When one of them was tug
SlnS away at Il stone too heavy for it, |
would lend helping hand with my staff
would move the stone along gently, and
| the lamprcy secmd entirely unconscious of
the fact that it was being helped it would
drop the burden at the proper point, and
run up for another. Indeed my aid and
presence did not disturb them at all. From
time to time, the larger of the two. which
was the female would thrust her tail with
great violence down among the pebbles at
the bottom OF the creek and loosen them up.

quickly carried away. The new material
thus plowcd up was carried to the nest.
Twiccin the course of the halEhour that I
observed them, the act of spawning took
place.
Besides helping to move the large stones
with my staff, several times plowed up the
bottom with its point. thus relieving the
female of that duty. The fish took it all rs
a matter of course, and seized upon the peb-
blcs | had looscned with great alacritv
When thrust my cane beneath them and
tried to lift them out Of the water. they
would suck fast to the stones and prevent
me: but they did not manifest any alarm
The lamplcys become much exhausted with
the spawning and nest building. and large
numbers Of them die when it is over In
June it is not unusual to find their dead
bodies in the streams they bit.--JaRudry

A Positive and Never Failing Cure for Rheu
matism, NEURALGIA and GOut.


Hundreds of testimonials given to DR.. Henley, I'M
solicited are in his possession from his towns
men, living right here among us. testfying to the
wonderful curative powers of his Rheumatic Neu-
tralizer Dr. Henley refers only to the testimonials
given by well known parties in our midst, and never
relies on far off and unknown individuals, as sup
porting what he claims to be true of his Rheumatic
Neutralizer that is 1t will cure any of Rheuma-
tism in existence The doctor long since discovered
the folly of applying external remedies for disease
that has its seat in the deepest channels of the
blood, and therefore set to work to discover rem
edy for Rheumatism, and mankind may rejoice in
his Rheumatic Neutraizer.
DEFINITION ON RHEUMATISM.
If you have thorn or splinter in your finger and
you put on Chloroform, some other drug. you
stop the sensibfiity of pain for time only. The
thorn is still there, and the effect of the
of the pain you must have that thorn plucked
the flesh. That is precisely the same way with
rheumatism You might rub on the skin some drug
to stop the pain for little time, but the pain is
sure to return the effect of the drug dies
away. Now 1t has been proven beyond the slightest
doubt that rheumatism Is in the deepest Channels
Of the Blood and that there is other way to reach
1t only through the Blood. This has been demon
strated right here in Portland by dozens of people
that have been cured by DR.. Henley's Rheumatic
Neutralizer That 1t is the only Medicine that has
Ever Reached the case and made Lasting and Per-
manent Cures. In fact the only true principal for
the Blood. 1t is a pack of nonsense to attempt any
other method, that is If you would wish Perma-
nent and Lasting Cure,

The story OF . Hat.

Poor Philip Vanderdonk! Ali his life
he had toiled, and saved, scraped, and
pulled every string that had dollar at
the end of it. And now all his heard
earned wealth was gone, and great, hate
full, Understanding mortgage spread its
black wings over all that he owned and
loved ON earth. He sank into q chair,
and folding his arms upon the table be-
fore him, bowed his gray head upon
them, and groaned great groans from
granville, groan county. His heart
seempd breaking.
"Did you mortgage the farm?" asked
his wife, stealing softly to his side.
"Yes," he growled; "both farms and
sold the wood-lot."
''And did you have to mortgage the
town house, too?" she asked, with quiv-
ering lips and glistening eyes.
"Oh, yes," said the man, in hollow
tones. "Oh, yes, and all my stock in the
railroad, and hypothecated what I had in
grain"
''And was II enough?" she asked,
trembling with eagerness. "Was it
enough"
mot quite," he growled; and then he
saw the CHASTITY pallor Of disappointment
spread over her face, he added, "but the
milliner let me have it ON ninety days
time for the balance, as eight per cent.
"And you've brought my new hat
homo. them" she caroled, joyously.
"Oh, Philip, yos dear old duckw
well, no, not all Of it" he said. II
brought the plume aud one Of the bows
down with me in the express, but the
express, but the hat itself is coming
down on fiat car"
And the next week after that, eleven
dark-browed men, who sat behind
Philips wife at the theater. waylaid the
wretched man on his way home, hauled
him Of down an obacure street, rolled
him up in . wad, and stopped y new
sewer with him. II Burlington Hawkeye.
