That Tired EeeHnq

The warm weather has a facilitating effect,
especially upon those who are within doors
most of the time. The peculiar, yet common,
complaint known as "that tired feeling"
is the result. This feeling can be entirely
overcome by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla,
which gives new life and strength to all
tie functions of the body

at Hampden little past eight, we at once proceed
Ell to the Congregational church, where we were
heartily welcomed by the pastor and members of
the society. After spending an hour discussing
the different methods of work among the young,
a bountiful collation. was served, and delightful
season of social intercourse was eDjoved. Before
our departure short devotional service was held,
after which, we bad goodbye to our Hampden
friends, and started on most beautiful moonlight
sail down the PenObscot, feeling that visit had
! been one Of great pleasure and profit to us all.

Vengeance of the Cobra

Andrew Fischer, an employee of the
Madras Railway company, was seated in
the veranda of his bungalow and OBJ
served two large cobras on. the barren
plain Immediately in front of the house.
Aiming himself with a stout stick, he
proceeded to the spot and encountered
the snakes. He succeeded in killing one
of them, while the other, which had
been slightly wounded, managed to
escape. Mr.. Fischer hunted about for
the runaway, but could not find it. He
then returned to his bungalow and rested
for some time, as he was off duty. Later
in the day he prepared to go to his work,
and with that object got out his clothes
to dress. He sat on his coat, and was
about to put on his shirt when he felt
something bite him on the back. He
turned round, and to his horror found a
snake on the cot behind him, which he
is said to have recognized as the cobra he
had wounded that morning. He imme-
diately sought relief, and all kinds of
remedies were applied, but to no effect,
and he dice in the evening. 1t is COM
monty believed among the Hindus tina.
no animal is more revengeful than this
cobra, and that If an attempt is made t..
kill it and it escapes it never gives itself
rest until it has wreaked its vengeance
uoon its assailant. -Homeward Mail.

The surface of the several lakes in the
vicinity of Cheyenne are almost obscured
from sight these days by the myrlads Of
ducks that disport in the waters. At any
time a sportsman may bag several brace
easily, and the hunters are not at all
backward about taking advantage of the
occasion. Lem. Ellis, Pete Bergersen,
and other gentlemen killed nearly half a
hundred birds in as many minutes yester-
day afternoon. Two fine teal dropped by
the frst-named gentleman found their
way to this office. Geo. Vallery, Bert
Richie and Geo. East also made success
full excursions. On the creek below town
many birds feed and are disturbed at If
regular intervals by the hunters.

slippers for the Children.

In n of the cantons of Switzerland
the public educational authorities cele-
brate the approach of the wet season by
providing each of their young scholars
with a pair of slippers, which the chill
dren bring with them in the morning
and wear indoors during the day, while
their damp boots are being dried at the
fire. Thus the chances of their catching
cold are reduced to q minimum, and the
result is, of course, greater comfort for
the youngsters, much relief from anxiety
on the part of their parents, and, it may
be assumed, a corresponding regularity
in school attendance. Some day poor
old England may see its way to taking a
hint from little observation-disclosures

Features of American Handicraf..

Rapidity of execution, not fine
work, is the distinguishing feature
of all American handicraft. Ameri-
can carpenters and wood workers do
more good work in a given time than
any of their brothers of other lands, but
it does not have the faultless n~eatness of
the product of Chinese and French
artisans. The Chinese, for instance,
make chairs, cabinets and even houses
without the use of a single nail, and
every piece of wood is fitted to its place
with hair line exactness. 1t is not con-
sidered extraordinary in China to spend
three years in the construction of a
single bedstead.- Chicago News.
