COW AND LEOPARD.
a Bovine Mother That Brave1y Defen
Her Offspring.

a Bovine Mother That Bravely Defended
Her Offspring.
A man who has spent much time in
the observation of the ways and habits
of the wilder sorts of animals tells the
following curious story of the audacity
of a leopard which paid nocturnal
visit to the cattle-shed of a blacksmith:
A native COW had calf. This being
her first-born, the mother was exceed
ingly vicious and it was unsafe for a
stranger to approach her, especially as
her. horns were unusually long and
pointed.
The cattle-shed was scooped out of the
hillside and was within few feet of
the blacksmith's house. The roof was
matched. During the night leopard,
which smelt the presence of the cow and
calf, mounted the roof of the shed and
proceeded to force an entrance by
scratching through the thatch.
The cow at the same time detected
the presence of the leopard and, ever
mindful of her calf, stood ready to re-
ceive the intruder. It is supposed that
upon the leopard's descent it was at
once pinned to the ground before it had
time to make its spring.
The noise of tremendous struggle
aroused the blacksmith, who, with a
lantern in his hand, opened the cattle
shed door and discovered the cow in a
frantic state, butting and tossing to and
fro some large object, which evidently
had lost all power of resistance. This
was the leopard in the last gasp, having
been run through the body by the ready
horns of the courageous mother, whose
little calf was nestled in a corner, I'M
mindful of the maternal struggle

If You Want The Best

\ THOUGH you may have had good luck
a with but few failures in making cake and
biscuit in the old-fashioned way with soda and
sour milk, or soda and cream of tartar, you
will have better luck and following directions)
mo failures with the Royal Baking Powder.
The truth of this must be evident when you
remember that in the leading hotels and res
taurants and in the homes of our city cousins,
where the latest and best methods are invari-
ably employed, and where the most beautiful
and dainty food is always set out for the guests,
the Royal Baking Powder is exclusively used
for all quickly risen food.
Royal Baking Powder never disappoints;
never makes sour, soggy Or husky food; never
spoils good materials; never leaves Jumps of
alkali in the biscuit cake; while all these
things do happen with the best of cooks who
cling to the old fashioned methods, or who use
other Baking Powders.
If you want the best food, Royal Baking
Powder is Indispensable.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an inf1amed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever; ;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an indamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by catarrhl that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

Parts of our souls are sympathetical-
