Maud S. is altogether different from
any OF the rest of the record breakers
Flora Temple had temper Of her own,
Dexter was even vicious at times, and
Goldsmith Maid frequently chased Budd
Doble from her box. Maud on the con-
trary, must be petted. Billy Blair, her
trainer and driver, said recently that the
crowds who came to see her were her de.
light She must have company. and the
only sign Of pettishness she shows is when
she Is not admired. Some ladies
petted and caressed her, and children

mad Air Of Tenement Houses.


OF the air we breathe there are two
kinds-the breath we take in, which is,
or ought TO be, pure air, composed on
the whole, of oxygen and nitrogen, with
minute portion of carbonic acid, and
the breath we give out, which is an i'm.
pure air, 10 which has been added,
among other matters which will not
support life, an excess of carbonic acid.
This carbouic acid gas when warm is
lighter than the air and aseends. When
at the same temperature as common air
it is heavier than that air and deScends,
lying around the floor, just as il lies
often in the bottom Of old wells or
brewers watts, rs a stratum Of poison,
killing occasionally the men who de-
scend into it..
Hence, a word of admonition is ad-
dressed TO those who think nothing of
sleeping on the floor.
The poor in all great cities are too apt
in times of distress to pawn their bed
steads. Those who 90 about doing
charitable work among them should
never let this happen. Keep the bed
stead, whatever else may go; save the
sleeper from the oarbonic acid stratum
which lies close on the floor in cold
weather.

White Teeth Not White.
Tpnsfnn pnAgaf

There are no such things as white
teeth, As can be proved by contrasting
those called white with snow, raw cot
ton, or marble. Roughly, teeth can be
divided, as regards color, into blue,
gray and yellow, with hundreds of diff
ferent shades. The apparent white
ness is due to the complexion and the
hue of the lips; and the ''glistening
worries of the negro are, as a rule, so
exceedingly yellow that they would dis
figure white person. 1t is the black
skin, hair and eyes that make them
look white.

Having removed my large stock of Clothing,
Furnishing Goods and Hats and Caps to my new
location on Main street formerly occupied by
Konrad Schmid, I am now ready to receive all my
old friends and new ones too, and to offer them
such bargains in my line as will convince them
that it is actually cheaper to wear new clothes
than old ones have no damaged goods to offer;
my stock is new and clean but my present quarters
are so small that must sell to make room. You
can easily test the truth of my assertions by drop
ping in as you pass by and asking prices. Thank
full for past favors and soliciting continuance of

CALLING QUAIL UP TO BE
MURDERED.

A sportsman at Baxter, Ga has
a trick about calling birds. He
says that the whistle of the male
and female differ materially. At
this season of the year the male
birds are easily called up by giving
the call of the female. The male
seams to say ''bob white" aud the
female "boy see." The editor OF
the local paper tells how this trick
works: Having secreted our
selves, he gave the female call, and
here one came right straight for
us. Sometimes they will come fly
ing and pitch close at your feet.
We were out but short time and
killed five. Mr.. Barnes tells us
that he generally goes out in his
buggy, calls them to him, and kills
them ut short range. He never
kills a female. for they will not

For years he and his picture tent

sally liked, and his coming was al

of art, scattered for many mile S
around, will serve most likely to
awaken pleasant recoQections, and

was quite largely attended by

OF which he was a member. "After

Attention. Doctors.

Everybody knows that the life Of the
average physician is hard one. He is
often compelled to ride great distances
through mud and rain for a merely nom-
inai fee. It is not fit nor proper for US to
condemn any physician for his work, but
we do assert that his practice can be made
easier, and he can effect more cures by
the proper and judicious use Of PERUNA.
If he will only add this great remedy to
his list of medicines he will find that his
usefulness will be greatly increased. Full
direction for its use will be found in the
"Ills. of Life" and he should at once pro-
cure this valuable book.
N. J. Wright. Business Agent Evening

MANI can not but feel it my duty to
express to you my thanks for the great
benefit I received from the use Of your
incidence PERUNA and MANALIN.
One bottle of each placed me square on
my feet, after sickness of four weeks,
which confined me to my bed, and then
left me lame and crippled. Three days
from the commencement Of the use of
your remedies the cane was dispensed
with, and in week was perfectly well"

opium as did before"
Joseph Thomas, East Brady, Pa,

MANALIN with good results. In the year
of 1880 was so bad that could scarcely
walk. l used PERUNA and MANALIN,
and am now as healthy as / have ever
been. I have also recommended it to
several parties, and they have been much
benefited by it."
Mr.. c. II. Harris, New Vienna, Ohio,
writes: "Our little girl was paralyzed
at thirteen months old, and We resorted
to everything we could hear of for relief,
but she appeared to get but little better.
Hearing Of PERUNA we concluded to try
it, and will say it has done her great
deal of good-the first bottle apparently
giving aid and relief. We have used it for
nervousness in other cases on other per-
sons and found it a success. For general
debility, and in fact for any disease, we
don't think anything else can at all COM
pare with it. We have used forty or fifty
bottles, and our house is never without
PERUNA. Our little girl is now eight
years old, and Can run any place, was for
four years helpless. PERuNA cured her."
