These Pills prevent fevers and all

pain.
If you take a severe cold, and are
threatened with fever, with pains in
the head, back, and limbs, one or two
doses of Seigels Operating Pills will
break up the cold and prevent the fever.
A coated tongue, with a brackish

Oftentimes disease, or partially de-

The unhappy geese, or perhaps they
are happy, are stuffed from morning
until night, and for a fortnight or so
before being killed are shut up in coops,
so that they an not exercise, and are
encouraged to eat until they are in a
fair way to burst with fairness. On the
last day they are given no water and
when they are killed their livers are ex-
tracted from reeking masses of fat.
The goose liver, after this spe ial gas

weigh about two pounds, fully half the
welght'o the healthy human liver. 1t

gorilla in his powerful jaws; his claws
were fixed in the apes shoulder, and he
himself was one mass of gashes and rents.
The right hand of the gorilla was fixed in
the lions side, and both his hinder hands
were drawn up and seemingly imbedded in
the lions ribs.
There was a moments pause, as if for
breath, and then the gorilla suddenly
twisted his head under the lions throat,
the hinder hands Strengthened out with a
nauseating sound of rending flesh, as with
one swift stroke he completely disembow-
eled the lion. There arose a terrible cry
of anguish, a sudden swirl around, several
stokes of brown paws and dark, hairy arms
through the cloud of dust and then all was
over. The whirling leaves settled, and
there in a death grip lay the two mighty
monarchs of the Wild The lion was ut
terly disemboweled, his entrails having been
seized by the prehensile hinder hands and
literally dragged out by the very roots
while the lion, by a last dying effort, had
succeeded in getting his throat freed from
the gorilla's teeth, and, with one powerful
blow, had smashed the apes head, as a
hammer does hickory nut. There they
lay, motionless, and there we lay, too, fas-
cinated, enthralled, at the strange specta-
Gle we had just witnessed.
Presently figure moving on the edge of
the clearing attracted our notice, and we
saw the female gorilla peering out between
the bushes, with an agonizingly human
look upon her face that was dreadful to
see. Slowly and cautiously she advanced
across the open space until she reached the
bodies; then she touched first one and
then the other, uttering plaintive cries of
grief that were touching in the extreme.
AT last she managed to disentangle the
body of her mate, looked into the eyes, ex-
amined the wounds, and, still crying, took
it into her arms; and, laboriously dragging
It across the open space, disappeared in the
forest beyond. She was safe from my rifle.
| would not have shot her for 81 100000,
and it was with strange feeling of de-
preston that | turned my back upon the
clearing, and, following my guide, left be-
hind the scene of one Of the most interest
ing and vivid experiences of my not I'M
eyentful life.

Detecting Counterfeits by Feeling.

A bank cashier says that the best way to
tell counterfeit bill is by sound and feel
ing. "Take bill firmly between the
thumb and index finger of your left hand
and pull it quickly through your fingers
like this. Now listen to the sound it
makes 1t is not Just like rubbing silk and
neither does it resemble paper sound
closely It's noise that is too peculiar to
admit of description"
Do they make counterfeit paper so like
the original that you can't tell the differ
ence ?"
"You can't tell by looking at it. 1t is
only by the sound and touch. Now listen
to the sound made by this counterfeit $40
bill. You see, that's a slick noise, some
thing like pulling glazed or oiled paper
through the fingers. A child could tell the
difference between that bill and the genu-
inc one But look at it and you will think
your eye is on something that would pass
muster for $50 worth of groceries"
"Who taught you this business ?"
"Oh, my first lesson was given by an old
man who has been all over this country
and Europe teaching the business. He has
in his possession over thousand speci-
mems of counterfeits. He obtained them
from the authorities of the different Gov
ernments He has no peer in the business,
and every expert in the country owes his
knowledge to this..old man" -Kansas City
