shop Utndos0s.-A prominent German
paper recommends a remedy for an evil
which shopkeepers and housekeepers have
l)ng xperienced-pamely, the fading or
bleaching of many kinds of cololei artl-
cIes when exposed to the light through
windows. Tfe authority quoted SAYS that
this fading or bleaching Is brought about
only by the white rays of the suns light,
and, when it occurs, it shows that the glass
is more or less perfectly colorless. 1t is
found, that f. instead of such colorless
glass, the window panes consist of glass
which is slightly yellow, the bleaching or
fading process is prevented. Where the
glass is colorless and cannot be replaced by
slightly yellowish tinted glass, the desired
effect may, 1t is said, be produced by simply
giving the panes coat of oopal varnish.

what a Deer Sees and Hears,

When deer is much hunted his ears
become exceedingly acute. Mr.. Van Dyke
has seen one spring from his bed and run
away at a race horse speed before ne was
within 200 yards of the animal, although
tie had touched not a single bush or twig
in approaching the game, anc although he
was positive that man could not a.
twenty yards distance have heard the
soft tread of moccasIns on the light snow.
Deer, too, are able to measure with rntlu-
tive correctness the distance and character
of sounds. They will often lIe all day
within hearing of the normal sounds of the
woodman's ak and the shouts of the team
ster. AS rule, too, the crash Of squir-
rePs jump. the roar of thunder. the snap
ping of trees with frost. their creakIng or
falling IN the wind, does not alarm them
in the least. Yet the faintest pressing Of
the leaves beneath the hunters moccasin
may Instantly send them flying. A deer
can also see a long way. On one OCCASION

whose motions he could hardly himself
make out. 1t is true that Tor recognizing
an object at rest the eyes of a deer are
about as dull as those of dog. Ii un-
alarmed he will not distinguish man
from stump on open ground, If the man
is seated and perfectly motionless. On
the other hand, to catch a motion, a deer's |
eyes are marvelously quick, and the fact
that he is generally at rest while the hunter
Is moving gives him an immense advan-
tage. Even the slow lifting of your head
over ridge. or the slow dragging OF your
limbs over tie trunks Of trees. or the slow
advance of your creeping body along the
ground, Is almost instantly detected, un-
ess the melton happens to be made while
he deer have their heads down, feeding
,r walking.

Pure Blood

Many families pride themselves on their
noble ancestry; but here, IN this demoera-
tic country, we DO not care 50 much about
our pedigree as our health; When the
blood Is out of order, disease manifests It
self in the skin and flesh. To be restored
to health take ScoviIl's SarsaparIlla or
Blood and Liver Syrup. Physicians speak
of il in the highest terms. DIR. Everett,
Cooper Plains, Steuben county, New York,
mentions two cases of Scrofula and Efyslp-
elias In which Scovilps Ssrsaparllla or
Blood and Liver Syrup effected cure and
says: Il think 1t one OF the best purifiers
of the day. 1t has met with perfect suc-
cess in every case where have used It."
