Discovery. You are bereft of judg-
ment and good sense if you allow
your blood to get out of order, your
liver sluggish-life dull, everything

dread disease, may be influenza
or consumption, may be typhoid
or malarial fever, has taken you.
Consumption is Lung Scrofula. For
Scrofula in it's myriad forms, and
for all Liver, Blood and Lung dis
eases, the "Discovery" is an IN
equaled remedy. Everybody, now
and then, feels "run-down "played-
out, with no power to generate
vitality, in fact, just too sick to be
we'll. That's where the right kind
of medicine comes in, and the "Dis-
covery" does for a dollar what the
doctor wouldn't do for less than five
or ten.
We claim that nothing like it has
been discovered for a blood-purifer.
It's guaranteed by the makers. Your
money is returned if it dosen't bene-
fit or cure you.

Batting Hawks.

A Scranton, Pa, correspondent tells
how Farmer Fred Mulnix of Eaton
township, baited hawks with English
sparrows this summer, and with good
results. The sparrows were SO numer-
GUS on his place in the spring that they
drove the wrens and robins from the
dooryard and orchard, and Mulnix
started to thin them out by
catching them in a net and
killed a score or more ofthe pugnacious
little English birds, hawks began to
swoop down on his poultry, and it oc
Cured to him that he might make use
of the sparrows as bait to lure the hawks
to their destruction. He got a 15-foot
pole, fastened spiral spring to the top
of it and placed wooden plat
form 8 inches square on the
upper end Of the spring. Then he filed
an umbrella wire until it was as sharp
and smooth as cambria needle, put 1t
through a gimlet hole in the centre OF
the platform, and fastened the blunt
end to the bottom of the spring, leav-
ing the point on a level with the top of
the platform. The needle was more
than foot in length, and Muinix's
idea was that the weight Of a hawk
would press the platform down SO far
that the needle would pierce the hawks
vitals. Then he tied two cock sparrows
to the platform and stuck the pole in the
meadow several yards from the barn.
The sparrows chirped and futtered
and jerked at their fastenings, and
made such noise to free themselves
that they caused a flock of their own
kind to come to the top of the pole to
see what the matter was. Their noise
and movements attracted the attention
of no ou-ly oh in no Nv
1t sailed to point almost directly over
the spot the moment it caught sight of
the lively little birds. 1t lowered there
for few seconds and then swooped
toward them. 1t struck the platform
with force enough to drive it downward
nearly foot, but it failed to clutch
single sparrow. For minute it stood
on the platform and looked wildly from
side to side at the futtering bait. Then
it tapped its wings violently, arose with
a scream, and sailed toward the woods.
Before it had covered half the way to
the forest it fell to the ground. 1t was
dead when MulniX reached it, and he
cut it open and found that the needle
had pierced its heart.
The next day he tied two more cock
sparrows to the platform and raised the
pole again. Along in the afternoon a
large, gray hawk darted down, seized
one of the sparrows, pulled until it
broke the thread, and flew off with
needle wound in its vitals. 1t dropped
the sparrow soon, screamed and sailed
around in circle as though it was in
great pain. 1t struggled hard for two
or three minutes, but the needle thrust
had injured its lungs, and it soon tum-
bled down dead in the cornfeld. Null
nix kept the trap baited with live
sparrows every day, and up to date
eleven hawks have met their fate at
the point of the needle.

A Hotel with MANY Locks.

The new Hotel Metropole Mt Brighton
has been provided, according to Sir
George Chubb's address to the visitors
et the Wolverhampton works, with be-
tween 500 and 900 locks. Each is said
to be different, but a single master
key" us it is called, opens the whole
number. There are also, it appears,
several sets OF sub-master keys. Thus
the manager or proprietor of n hotel
can have access to every room in the
ouildiag, but each tenant can only get
into his own room, while the officials
can each have ''master keys" to the
particular sets of rooms of which they
have charge. The rather stringent
views which our judges have taken OF
hotel keepers liabilities makes the ques,
ton of hotel locks more than ever ini-
portant from the hotel keeper or man

For the sportsmcn in search of new

Bosnia. The name of this proviEne
has long been associated with the maze
of political problems included in the

ports published by the local author
itics of Bosnia and Herzegovina ~o
gather that these territories have some
special claims to the attention, not
only Of statesmen, but of those who love
tho pursuit of big game.
1t appears that the abundance OF
bears in the highlands and of wolves in
the lowlands of Bosnia is such that the
government offers capitation grants for
their destruction, and it is reported
that in consequence of these offers
during the ten years ending in 1SS?
SS4 bears and $40 wolves were de-

many as 10 bears and 1867 wolves

Bosnia are said to be the principal
haunt of the bears, especially to the
