exhausting the air from the pores and
filing them with gutta percha solu-
ton, a substance which preserves the
wood alike from moisture, water and
the action of the sun. Tie solution is
made by mixing two-thirds gutta per-
cha to one-third paraffne, this mix
ture being then heated to liquefy the
gutta percha, when it is readily in
troduced into the pores of the wood,
the effect of the gutEa percha being,
when it becomes cool. to harden the
pores.

Temporary Embarrassment.
Texas Sifting's

"Who was that 1nau who had his
arm around your neck talking to YOU
SO earnestly, with tears in his eyes?"
He is Bill Snort the editor of The
Crosby County Clarion and Farmers
indicator.
What's the matter with him? He
seemed IN great distress
There is nothing in particular
the matter with him just now. For
the last ten years he has been in a
state Of temporary pecuniary embar-
rassment. I'm afraid that It will
sooner or later become chronic with
him.
The cat, horse and birds have q
third eyelid, which is used to protect
the eye from too much light. Man
has third eyelid in the corner of
the eye which is undeveloped.

A Cat and Rooster Partnership.

A wonderful specimen of the feath-
cred tribe in this vicinity is a big red
rooster, owned by Willie Johnson, of
this city. A year ago Willie Johnson
purchased several chickens, among
which was rooster in question, and
carried them to his home. The zoos
ter had not been on the premises
great while before he exhibited a de-
cided fondness Of the house cat. The
cat appeared to be IN no wise averse to
the roosters demonstrations and the
two were soon fast friends. They
were constantly together; wherever
one went the other followed. They
shared their food together. When
the cat caught rat she brought it to
the rooster, and the rooster never
tired of catching fatheads, earth
worms and grasshopers for the cat.
Finally the cat died, leaving a soil
tary kitten, which the rooster
at once adopted ane began to care for.
The most friendly relations existed
between them. But recently this cat
also died and left kitten, which the
rooster promptly adopted, Where
ever he goes the kitten follows, just
as young chickens follow the mother
hen. The kittens understands the
ROSTERS cluck, and it is amusing to
see il run 10 him when he makes the
peculiar sound which chickens make
on finding food. It is difficult, how
ever, for him to find such food as the
kitten requires, in consequence Of
which it is weak and very much en-
aciated. The kitten and the rooster
roost together on the splank in the
fowl house, which they enter as night
approaches. The rooster then flies
up on the roost, while the kitten
climbs up ana settles down beside
her.

THE lens for the big telescope to be
placed in the Lick Observatory has been
completed. There is something almost
romantic in the design and construction
of this monster telescope. The actual cost
of the lens is SOL 200 but as its makers
are both old men it would be imposs-
ihle to replace il at any price. Some
idea of the care necessary in its grind
ing may be had from the statement that
a measurement of the 1000, O,OOOth
part of an inch was secured. 1t took
very little grinding to remove so small
a thickness of glass from Il given point,
q gentle rubbing with the thumb being
sufficient, as the glass is softer than
common window glass.

attention from the engineerp Don't
you see how dangerous this hidden dis
ease ipP 1t is lurking about MS con-
stantly, without giving any indication
OF its presence.
The most sklllful physicians cannot
detect it at times. for the kidneys them-
selves cannot be examined by any
means which we have at our command.
Even an analysis Of the water. chemi-
cally and microscopically, reveals noth-
ing definite IN many cases, even when
the kidneys are fairly broken down.
Then look out for them, as. disease,
no matter where situated, to 98 per
cent, as shown by after death examin-
ations, has its origin in the breaking
down Of these secreting tubes in the in
terror of the kidney.
As you value health, as you desire
long life free from sickness and suffer-
ing, give these organs some attention.
Keep them IN good condition and thus
prevent (as is easily done) all disease.
Warmers Safe Cure, as it becomes
year after year better known for its
wonderful cures and its power oyer the
kidneys, has done and is doing more to
increase the average duration of life
than all the physicians and medicines
known. Warmers Safe Cure is q true
specific. mild but certain, harmless but
energetic and agreeable to the taste.
Take it when sick as q cure, and new
or let month go by if you need it,
without taking few bottles as a pre-

in proper order, the blood pure, that
health and long life may be your bless
