 Some political prophets aver that we shall.

Indigestion, bill iousness and constipation are inseparable companions, and these ailments are com pletely eradicated by the Bitters. But the remedial scope of this superlatively wholesome and genial medicine takes in also nervous ailments, rheumatism and kidney troubles; it's action in these, as in the other complaints, being characterized by unequaled thoroughness,

THE SAMOA AFFAIR.

Latest Samoa dates show that ths Germans brought upon themselves the dlrsfu fate that overlook them. Their attempted surprise of the Islanders resulted in their signal defeat and cen sequent great loss of life. Mataaia s men dld not return the fire until two of his force had been killed The Ger man sailsrs became panic stricken, and despite ths elfsrts of their officers threw away ther guns and ran under cover of German plantation houses in the vicinity. and into the brush. They were followed by natives vhs shot them wherever found A number of sailors managed to make their escape by jumping iato boats and putting out to sea. The bodIes of the dead Ger mans were loft lying en the ground, where they were found and taken away under cover of the German ships the following day.
 The day succeeding the conflict German frigats bonbardcd Samoan village, destroying three houses over winch the Americas flag had been placed. Upon the refusal of the Ger mans to become placated, snd they having expressed thar determination to crush the chief who had so humIlia- ted them, tho British and American war ships were made ready for action. A gatling gun from the U. s. ship Nipsic was stationed on the vsranda of the U. $. consulate. As souvenir of the high-handed action of the Ger mans, the remnant of the American flag, formerly ussd for consular pur- poses, which had been placed on an Americans hsu- for protection from the fire of tho German ships, has been forwarded to the Secretary of State Tn Washington, where no doubt it will attract attention.
 The charge made by the Germans that Klein, an American, headed the native firing party, IS simply shal- low subterfuge. His presence during the engagement is accounted for as being there in the capaclty of news paper correspondent, and n0thing m nars

 Phoenix and Prescott papers are in aignant over an interview with Allen c. Thurman, son of the "0ld Roman, published in the Cleveland Leader. This promising son of his father had been out to Mineral Park, Mohave County, Arizona. and in giving the Leader reporter his impression of our much abused Territory, he got of that hoary chestnut which has been applied in turn to every portion of the South west from Texas to the Pacific, viz. "All this country needs to make it a good place is water and good society" And old Ben Wade is made to reply That's all they need in hell"

The Feeding of Animals.

In the feeding of animals it should
not be forgotten that the manure is to
be valued as the feeding is poor or
rich. Poor food makes poor manure,
rich food makes rich manure. Manure
from straw-fed animals is next to worth
less: that from animals fed upon clover
hay, cotton-seed meal, bran, peas, wheat
middlings and linseed meal is rich and
contains as much fertilizing matter as,
if purchased from the dealer, would
cost very nearly as much as the
feed itself. This is a bugbear
and a paradox to many farmers,
but it is as true as that 1 taken
from 5 leaves 4, and these figures apt
ly represent this absolute fact. For if
the above rich feeds are valued at s.
in money, the COWS or horses or pigs
or beeves take the value of 81 out OF
them, leaving 81 for the farmer in the
manure. And it is equally true that
the SIS worth of these foods, if judici-
ously used, will bring to the farmer
fully So or Sc or more in the growth OF
the animal. Was not, then, the wise
Cicero quite right when he said the
feeding of animals is the most import
ant part of husbandryP-M Z Times

THE TIGERS NOSE.
If Unarmed You Meet One of the Brute
Hit Him on 1t.

If Unarmed You Meet One of the Brutes
Hit Him on 1t.
1t is marvellous how few white men
their adventures and narrow escapes,
especially from the tiger tribe, are
numerous. A sub-cOmmissioner, who
is magistrate for sub-district, went
out in the jungle one day to try and
find tiger which had been reported
to him as having been seen near the
village where he resided. There be-
ing no white men within many miles of
him, his guard being composed of
Madrasse police under a native sub
hadar or Lieutenant. Hill went to
hunt the beast by himself, the Indian
servant he took with him to carry his
rifle, ETC., not counting as an effective.
He was walking leisurely along path
in the jungle, with only his walking
cane in his hand. 1t happened to be q
fine specimen of the grapevine cane,
cut from variety of vine which Hill
had brought from the West Indies
some years before. The cane had a
natural knot or knob as head, and
was remarkably strong and flexible.
AS he was looking about him from
side to side large tiger emerged from
the thick underground only few yards
in advance of him. Keeping his eyes
fixed full on the brute and staring into
his eyes, Hill put his left hand eau
tiously behind him telling his servant
in a low tone to give him his rifes
The Hindoo up to this had been follow
ing closely in the footsteps of his mas
ter. Not getting the rife handed to
him, Hill repeated the order in ga
louder tone, but again without any re-
spouse. As the situation was becom-
ing rather critical, and the tiger was
evidently restless and anxious to get
at him, Hill, unfortunately for himself,
turned his head to see where his serv-
ant was, but the cowardly fellow had
evidently fed at the sight of the dread
ed beast. The brute, who had only
been kept in check by the resolute
gaze of the white man, took instant
advantage of Hills head being turned
aside and made a spring, landing JUS
in. front of him.
Hill had no time to lose in thinking
what was best to be done. He, how
ever, with rare presence of mind, aimed
blow at the tigers nose--a most sen
sitive part of the.animars body-and
luckily for him, hit his mark. hi
blow caused the tiger to swerve some
what in his attack, and he just struc;
Hills arm with one of his powerful
paws and vanished in the jungle, whin
