Enormous Demand for Eggs.

An egg merchant who goes from house
to house buying eggs, told us a few days
sincethat he expected to pay 81 cents q doz-
en- for eggs before Christmas.
Many persons who keep hens will prob
ably not have an egg to sell when hay reach
fifty cents. Some one may esk, what can
a body do when the pesky old hens stop lay
ing, and the pullets refuse to begin until
spring?' Why! do as VIM. 81. Yeomans, OF
Columbia, Conn, Editor Of the Germantown
Telegraph, did last winter. He says: Last
fall | made an experiment. worth giving our

Cure for Seasick ness.

A correspondent of the St. James's Ga.
sette says that the drinking of salt water
is q perfect cure for ~seasickness, though
it makes the drinker very miserable for
a few minutes after he takes the cure.
The sailor who recommended it to the
sufferer in question accounted for it by
saying the stomach on board ship is in a
very sensitive state, and that the salt
water pickles it,so that it gets hardened
to conditions which had previously re-
volted it. If that were the explanation,
it must be a very rapid and miraculous
kind of picking process that is effected
by a pint of salt water, not. in all prob
ability, long retained. But whatever
the rationale of the supposed ''sailor's
remedy" may be, any quick remedy for
so frightful a distress is worth trying;
and the assertion of the sailors is said to
be that it never fails.

Roninp Wolves md AntelOpes.

Perry Stiff, a cowboy employed on
George W. Baxter's ranch, was in town
Yesterday with three gray wolf skins and
three COYOTE skins, all of which Melted
him SIG. Is. The county pays So bounty
for wolf scalps and rs cents for coyotes,
and the stockmen's Protective Associa-
ton pays IS for wolves.
Baxter's ranch is about fifty miles
northeast of here, on Little Horse Creek.
Mr.. Stiff says there are plenty of wolves
there. The skins he brought in yester-
day were from wolves which he roped
while riding the ranges. As a wolf
hunter the cowboy has so far been more
successful than the members of the Chey-
euue Wild Cat Club, and his experience
with the animals has been much more
thrilling. Recently, while riding a
broncho, Mr.. Stiff saw a pack of wolves
chasing a bunch of horses, in the rear of
which was an old mare and colt, the
object of the chase being fresh cold
meat. Stiff got behind a hill, and, as
the frightened horses flew by, he put
spurs to his broncho, and, sngling out
the biggest wolf in the pack, made the
chase.
As the cowboys horse was fresh and
the wolf already tired, it was not long
until the moose was dropped over the
head of the big gray. The animals
forefoot went through the loop, how
ever, and the loop frightened around his
BODY in such a way that he was able to
make a strong pull. Finding himself at
the end of the rope, tie brute, after fail
ing to cut it with his sharp teeth, made
a dash for liberty in another direction.
The movement drew the rope about the
broncho's hind legs and tail, and the
natural result was some very hard buck
ing. Between the bucking horse and the
wolf Stiff had his attention pretty well
taken up. He held to the bucking,strap
and finally got straight, with the wolf at
the end of the rope and square in front
of the horse. By this time the wolf re-
fused to run, but sat up, and, showing
his long, sharp teeth, was ready for q
fight. This was just what the cowboy
wanted. Riding up close to his wolfship
to get as much slack as possible, he
turned quickly and applied the spurs;
When the rope tighte led the wolf turned
a couple of somersets and was almost
broken in two, but the rope held firm to
the saddle-horn.
By a serses of such maneuvering the
wolf was finally worn out and dragged
to the ranch. Mr.. Stiff said he has seen
as high as nine wolves in a pack this
season. Not long ago four of them killed
a calf in Bakers pasture. Stiff made a
suggestion to another cowboy that while
the animals were full OF calf meat was
a good time to chase them down. The
suggestion was acted upon, and after a
chase of nearly three miles a big fellow
was caught.-Cheyenne (Wyoming) Lead

"7Here's something behind Or
That's what you think, perhaps,
when you read that the proprietors
of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy offer
$500 reward for an incurable case
of Catarrh. Rather unusual, you
think, to find the makers Of q medi-
cine trying to prove that they be-
lieve in il. "Theret must be some.
thing back of it'll" ts3
But it's Q plain, square Offer, rasds
in good faith. The only thing that's
back of it is the Remedy. It cures
Catarrh in the Head. 70 its mild,
soothing, cleansing and healing
properties, the worst cases yield,
no matter how bad or of how long
standing. It has a record that
goes back for IS years, Il doesn't
simply relieve perfectly and
permanently cares. With 8 Rem
edy like this. the proprietors can
make such an offer and mean il.
To be sure there's risk in it, but
it's so very small that they arc
willing to take it.
You've "never heard Of anything
like this ofer?" True enough.
But then you've never heard of
anything like DR.. Sage's Remedy.
