your wonderful medicine, DR.. Hale's
Household Ointment, will do in cases of
pneumonia. Last winter my mother,
who is rs years of age, was sick unto
death with pneumonia. Both lungs
were badly involved. The attending
physician said she must die. AS last
resort we commenced using
your Dr.. Hale's Household Oint-
ment, applying it freely and
thoroughly to the chest, keeping
the lungs covered with hot fannels.
She soon began to improve and in
twelve hours the crisis was past and
she was out of danger and is alive and

her life. John =. Edwards

Photograph Frames.

A photograph frame to hang on
the wall is made by cutting out two
pieces Of cardboard several inches
larger than a cabinet photograph and
making diamond shaped opening in
the center of one, large enough to
show the picture. Cover each card
board on one side with pale blue
satin, cutting and drawing it neatly
through the center opening and over
the edges. Make double puff of
blue India silk to harmonic, and
when it is ready and has been cut the
exact length to 90 entirely around the
outside of the cardboard, glue the two
satin covered pieces together, insert
ing the gathered edge of the puff so
all will be held tightly. Of course
the glue should be put only at the
sides and bottom, for the top must be
kept free to slip the picture in. Fast
en- pale blue ribbon at the top to hang
the frame up by, and the whole is
complete. 1t will add to the appear
ance of the frame if the maker can
paint a spray of flowers, butterfly or
a few birds on it, but it is quite hand
some plain. Elk.

Mares Defense Against Wolves.

When in the Asturlas, says cor
respondent in Nature, in 1885, / was
told of very curious case Of animal
instinct, which may be worth record
ing. Wolves are by no means un-
frequent in the Asturias, and often
attack the young foals which are sent
up to pasturage with the mares in the
mountains. The danger experienced
seems to have begotten a precaution-
airy instinct of a very intelligent kind.
1t is said that. on an alarm of wolves,
the mares and foals congregate for
mutual protection and common de-
tense. The mares form themselves
into sort of Gordon, heads out
wards, surrounding a space inclosing
the young foals, andare ready for at
lacking with their fore-feet the wolves
on their approach.
My informant gave me a graphic
account Of such an attack, of which
he was an eyewitness for nearly an
hour, and described to me how the
wolves circled round and round the
defenders, first at some distance, and
he saw one wolf rolled over dead by a
blow from the forefoot of one Of the
mares.
