The Singing Sensation

In the gullet known as heartburn, is such COM
mon source of annoyance that it deserves some
thing more than casual mention as an incident
of dyspepsia, Its direct cause so far is known
Is the evolution of gas in the stomach, whichs
rising in the throat bears with 1t particles of
digested food mingled with vtiated gastric juice.
The acid of the latter stings the membrane as it
rises. For this invariable and most unpleasant
manifestation of dyspepsia, Hostetters Stomach
Bitters is an intallible remedy. 1t should be
taken before meals, when it not only promotes
the secretion of gastric juice and prepares the
stomach for the reception of food, but gives a
hearty relish for the latter. 1t must not be sup
posed that its occasional use will remove the
cause of this symptom. Chronic dyspepsia is an
obstinate malady, and requires time to remove.
Whether taken to obviate this, or for fever and
ague, rheumatism or constipation, use the Bitters
nerSiStentlV.

The Ostrich as a Kicker.

lFrom the Los Angeles Express
DR.. Sketchley, who has charge of the
ostrich farm at Anaheim, was plucking
one of the things one day. When they
pluck them stocking is kept on the
bead to blind the bird. While he can
not see he is quiet, but if his blinkers
get uncovered then he ''goes for the
plucker. The doctor moved his arm so
as to disturb the stocking, and instantly
he saw what was done and went head
first out of the pen, not caring for any
more plumes just then. As he tumbled
head first over the fence the bird-he

Frozen Ducks.
from the Oshkosh Times

From the Oshkosh Times
Register of Deeds Spiegelberg
brought the news this morning of a
very singular occurrence in the up-river
country. He states that in the island
formed at the confluence of Lake Poy-
gan, the Wolf River and the Boom Com
pany's canal, the sudden change in the
weather on the Odd inst. overlook a
thousand or more Mallard ducks, which
had found resting place, and the cold
having numbed them they were unable
to fly, and hunters and farmers had an
easy time in catching them. The high
est number caught by one family was
213. A good many of the ducks we're
picked and brought into the market,
while lots of them were packed for win
ter's use. Mr.. Spiegelberg says that the
ducks were very fat, but that when dis
covered they had nothing in their
srops, being unable to move on account
Of the cold. Mr.. Spiegelberg, who has
lived in the vicinity long time, has no
remembrance of similar occurrence.

proach of that dread and fatal disease, Con-
sumption of the Lungs, usually announced in
advance by pimples, blotches. eruptions, ul.

which, if not promptly expelled, from the sys-
tenn attacks the delicate tissues of the lungs,
causing them to ulcerate and break down. DR.,

great remedy for this, as for all diseases having
their origin in bad blood. 1t improves the APP

A Mountain Of Cod.

Prof. Huxley says that "a mountain
of cod," varying from 100 to $50 feet in
height, moves for two months in every
year from westward to southwark past
the Norwegian coast. Every square
mile of this colossal column contains
12O,OO0,OO0 of fish, which even on sho rt
rations consume no fewer than $40, :
100000 herrings every week. The
whole catch of the Norwegian fisheries
never exceeded in year more than
half mile of this cod mountain, and
one weeks supply of the behring's is
needed to keep that area of fish from
starving.

Fatal Accident.

Thursday, Norman. son of Nelson
Keele, thirteen years of age, while wad-
ing in a slough after ducks, on his faith
er's homestead, near Cooperstown, ac-
cldentally shot himself. The gun, a
breech loading shot gun, loaded with
duck shot, was accidentally discharged,
and the contents of one barrel passed
through his cheek into the brain, frac-
turing the skull. He fell unconscious,
and his little brother, aged eight, who
had witnessed the tragedy from the edge
of the slough, waded out to his brother,
and tired with his puny strength to carry
him out of the water. Failing in this
the little fellow fixed the wounded boys
head above the water by the aid of a
stone, and started for home to get help.
The boy was taken from the slough, and
Or. Kerr sent for, but he at once deter
mined the shot fatal, and that the
victim would never recover conscious
ness. The boy is yet alive, but his death
is simply question Of time. Frac-
