THE GUN KICKED.
And the African Thought It Was a Little
Too Strong for Him.

And the African Thought It Was a Little
Too Strong for Him.
When Mr.. Montague, the English
traveller, was in Africa, he gave to a
native an old single-barreled gun, and
the fellow was delighted, says Golden
Days. He put in a small handful of
powder, and about quarter of a news
paper on top of it, and finally a ball,
and then rammed the whole charge
down. Then he departed. In the
evening he returned, with his face bat
tered and swollen almost beyond recog-
milton.
What have you been doing?" asked
the Englishman, in amazement.
The native sat down on the ground
and said, sorrowfully:
''A little after noon found the track
of the Glands, and followed it until 1
found them feeding. 1 crept up to one
of them. He was twenty yards away.
1 rested the barrel of the gun on a
stone, placed the butt against my nose,
directed the muzzle toward the Gland
and pulled the trigger. I do not know
what happened, for 1 was blind and
deaf for some time, but when I came
to found myself lying at the bottom
of the gully. The gun was beside me,
my face was as you now see it, and the
Glands had gone away. Son of white
man, it was very kind of you to give
me a gun, but it is too good gun for
me-too strong, too powerful. 1t needs
the wisdom of white man to rule it.
Take it back. FAREWELL"

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local rem
edies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to
be constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure in the market. It is
taken internally in doses from 10 drops
to a teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the
blood.and mucous surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for any
case it fails to cure. Send for circulars
and testimonials. Address.

Doc Popu1atlon OF PnrIs.

Paris has eighty thousand registered
dogs, says the Eleveur, which
means that there is one licensed
dog to every twenty-eight inhab-
itants Granting that there are
as many unlicensed dogs as there
are licensed ones, the canine popula-
ton of Paris is very large one indeed.
The largest number of dogs is found in
the poorest quarters. The estimated
cost of feeding the eighty. thousand
dogs is two million dollars, per annum,
and they in turn afford a living to
twenty-five manufacturers of dog col
lars and muzzles, four bakers of dogs
bread, five factories where dog biscuits,
consisting of meat fiber, are made, three
special dog pharmacies, a dozen in
frmaries and two hospitals.

"You're perfect pig" The young wom-

toward the speaker, and the speaker was

piled amiably: 'Of course, 1 knew you
