ANEW LEAsE OF LIFE.

When one has been suffering the agonies
of q severe attack of rheumatism, neural
gia or sciatica, and relief comes it seems a.
If new lease of life had been granted.
Such have been the feelings of thousands
who, after trying physicians and number
less remedies, have used Athlophoros and
found to their great JOY that this medicine
really did cure these diseases.
367 Fulton St., Brooklyn, n. Y.
After suffering for nearly two years with
a continuous attack of rheumatism; after
trying almost every specific, domestic and
foreign, which the credulity of wise man,
or fool, might lead one to trust in, it was
double pleasure to me to find remedy
which, originating in the famous "City of
Elms"-the home Of my ancestors and
its first founders-has proved so invuIua-
bic a blessing. II is DOarlT SIX months
since | was iel TO trace ont the significance
of that word Athlophoros. 1t has proved
to me, in a good degree, a renewer of my
former vigor and strength, so that have
been enabled to move about with almost
youthful activity, and to feel, while ap-
preaching my three score years and tsn,"
that have a new hold on life. l believe
your philosophy of the disease to be correct
that it has its origin in the blood, and that
your remedy touches those joints and mus
cles, loosening the nodes, which have been
brought into subjection to this dreadful
disease, and sets them free as no other
remedy that l have tried. l have been
cautious for 50 long time in recommend
ing it to others till had tried its efficacy
in my own case; and 1 am now free 70

A PERILOUS CLIMB.
FOwlers Who Ascend Lofty
Cliffs TO Rob Eagles Nests.

To rob an eagles nest is even among
professional crsgsmen, regarded as a
perilous task, But we question whether
the feat has ever been accomplished un-
der circumstances more awkward than
those which attended Shetland fowler
lately during his efforts to obtain a pair
of this seasons birds. The nest was
built on the lofty cliffs of Ness, 500 feet
above the boiling sea of the Sound. The
rope by which :he man endeavored TO
reach his prey was 115 feet long, and
when almost within reach OF the eaglets
he found the rope too short.
Determined, however, not to be
banked in his purpose, he unbound
himself from the rope, and, clambering
over dangerous pIecipices, managed to
reach the nest. Luckily for him the
old birds were absent but had they al
rived about that period, the disturber of
their family arrangements would as
suredly have experienced an uncom.
Portable quarter Of an hour. With two
OF even one of the eagles attacking him
with beak and tslOns, the struggle
could only have ended in one way.
Even as it was one of the two eaglets
seems TO have been quite equal to the
! defense OF its home, 30 rudely invaded.
| Fixing its claws in the sssailant's arm,
it speedily stripped it of flesh, and had
| the ShetlsndeI been a more nervous
! subject than ScandinaVians usually are,
might have thoroughly uuneIved him.
| But he was not easily discontinued, and
/ having secured the birds in his jersey,
and carrying the ticklish burden in his
teeth. he managed to retrsce his steps,
regain the rope, and, after climb OF an
hour and a half, reach LerwIck, not
much the worse for his adventure.
The truth is that these cragsmen are
Injured from their childhood 10 this m )de
of life. Steady of foot, 6rm of hand
and never knowing what it is to feel
dizzy when perched at great heights,
they manage year after year to follow
the same life. Yet comparatively few
of them die in what their Morse ances-
tors used to call "a cows bed" The
crag sooner or later claims it's tribute.
The rope breaks or is sawn through
against the projecting edge Of rock
Or the stake driven into the bank gen.
erations ago crumbles under an unwOnt-
ed weight, and before the fowler can
regain his footing he is swept over the
precipice.
AT one time 80 daring we're these men
that in climbing they would throw the
rope.oVer knife, stuck in aichink Of the
cliff, and, depending on the temper oi
steel, swing themselves to a point which
could not be attained in any other meth.

gutcher (grandfather) gsed before, his
father gaed before, and he must expect
to go over the Sneug, too, was the
recognized fatalism among these hardy
Islanders. Not many years ago-and
perhaps still-no insult was more cat

Capital Punishment.

Among nations which take q compaT-
atively lenIent view Of homicide, it mat
ters little for practical purposes whether
the crime is punishable by death or not,
for we may Se pretty certain that the
capital penalty will seldom or never be
enforced. 1t may occasionally happen
to such = nation to be seized with par
oxysm of Indignation at some exception
ally stTOcious murder, and, So in the case
of Switzerland, to hurriedly resume the
power of Furnishing the crime with death
but on the subsistence OF popular emotion
the new weapon is allowed TO remain
unused.
In England, the legislators have no
such hot-and- cold fits OF public sentiment
to reckon with. The instinct of all the
more manly and sensible part OF the
people IS one OF stern detestatiou Of
murder, and Of healthy repugnance for
the mawkish sentimentalism which finds
excuses for the murderer. The little
clique of pseudo-humsDitsrian who at
one time pretended to represent the
better mind" of the country on the
subject, have become less and less form
liable every year, and have at last sunk
into almost complete obscur1ty and in
significance.
Nothing now threatens the mainte-
nance OF the death penalty for homicide
unless it be the still surviving i0perfec-
tion and anomalies of our criminal juris-
prudence and general discomfort with
our faulty method OF execution and its
too often bungling practitioners. Moth
Ing, Of course, would be more childishly
absurd than to 20 change our laws and
abolish a deterrent punishment on the
strength of these objections, even il they
were irremovsble, and that is very far
from being the case. 1t is, no doubt,
easier to begin with the cord than the
code but there should be no difficulty
with either. 1t ought surely to be within
the resources OF 30 old q civilization as
our own to devise some Judicial method
OF discriminating between the more and
less heinous of our murdereIs, and to
discover some decently skiIlful execu-
tioner who can lid the world of the
worst OF them with reasonable humanity
and despatch.

Demons Of the Sea.

The mere sight of shark chills the
blood, so villainous is his look, so raps-
cious the hideous leer which he casts Un
those who look down upon him.
OF she rks there are many kinds, most
of them abomiDably ugly, but few of
them with a sort of fierce beauty il their
tails aud the marks upon them. Such is
the fin-tail, whose color is cinereOus, in
some parts strsaked with red and dotted
with small black spots. such, too, is
the sea fox, as it used to be called, to be
met in the Mediterranean, and remark
able for the great length and elegance of
it's tail, the body being seven feet and
the tail six feet long. But the most
substantial horror of the deep, is the
white shark, often thirty feet long. and
of an average weight of 1000 pounds. 1t

1t is not very surprising that out or
this grim and meIciless companion OF
the mariner sailing under the tropical
heavens many quaint and striking su-
perstitions should have been evolved.
For ages sailors have regarded it as q

end TO the stories told. A French nat
urslist asserts that it prefers white men
to black, which We believe is pretty well
known. The same geRtleman asserts
that a shark cut open at Msrseilles was
| found TO contain a man clad in srmor In
its stomach, while inside OF another was
found a whole horse. 1t is comforting
to read that the shark is kind to its
young. taking its infant into its stomach

History OF the Goat.

The common or domestic goat was
originally a native of the highlands of
Asia. Nsturslists generally regard it
as having descended from an animal
found in the Caucasus mountains and
the bill country OF Persia, called ia the
Persian language the pessng. It's legs
are longer than those of the common
goat, and lis horns are very much
'aIRer, 1t Is not always easy to distin-
guish between the species and varieties
o. goats. The common goat has exist
ed as domestic animal in oriental
countries from the very earliest times.
From there it spread all over the world.
msnitesting q remarkable adaptabiIity
to climate and circumstances, In this
diversity OF surroundings 3 great diver
sity OF breeds has appeared, such as the
Angora goat, the Cashmere goat, the
Guinea goat OF Africa, and many others.
NO qusdTuped, except the dog has
shown such susceptibility of variation.
These differences show most markedly
IN the quality and quantity of the hair
and In the relative abundance of the
two coats, the long, silky outer cover
ing and the softer woolly hair beneath
1t. Goats are found wild in mountain
ous countries only they are very sure
footed on marrow lodges or rocks, and
show great strength and ability in leap
Ing. They also prefer as food the
leaves and branches of shrubs and the
herbs found on mountains to che herb.
age of tie richest lowland pastures.
Among the Greeks and Romans the
goat was sacrificed to Bacchus because
OF its tendency to injure grapevines by
eating young tendIils and leaves. The
goat is not found wild in extrem.
Dorthern countries. but when unde
domestication thrives as we'll wirhn
a shed in The northern districts of Scan.
dinsvia as In the hottest parts of Asia
and Africa. All the species OF the goat
are natives OF the old world, The
Rocky mountain goat, 30 called, Of
North America, belongs to the antelope
family.
