no one, and returned to his armchair
to ponder. The ringing continued,
and, thinking perhaps that a band of
robbers werei in the house, he started in
search of q policeman, who should
search the cellar and arrest the ofen-

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation:
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all druSS-
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup

Health Of Horses.

The health and comfort of horses have
of late years been greatly improved by
the better construction Of stables. They
are made more roomy and lofty, and
provided with mean of thorough ven
tilation. In many new stables lofts are
done away with, or the floor of the lofts
is kept well above the horses heads, and
ample shafts are introduced to convey
away foul air. By perforated bricks
and gratings under the managers and
elsewhere round the walls, and also by
bay windows and ventilators, abundance
of pure air is secured for the horses;
while, being introduced in moderate
amount and from various directions, it
comes in without draught. Too much
draught is almost an unknown stable
luxury. To secure a constant supply of
pure air, horses require more cubic
space than they generally enjoy. Even
when animals are stabbed only at night,
a minimum of 1900 cubic feet should
be allowed. In England, the newer
cavalry barracks give a minimum of
1,500 feet, with a ground area of fully
ninety square feet per horse, and the
best hunting and carriage horses have
more room.-J0ur71al of Chemistry.

Good Versus Bad PLAYERS.

Two good whist players were matched
against two bad players, and the same
arrangement was made in another room,
in which the bad players held the same
hands as the good players in the first
room, and vice versa. Thirty-three
hands were played. In one room the
good players held good cards and won
four rubbers out of six, in points a bal
ance' of eighteen; in the other room the
good players had the bad cards, and
played Eve rubbers with the same
number Of cards, winning three out Of
seven, and losing seven points on the
balance. The difference was eleven
points, or nearly n point a rubber in
favor of skill. DR.. Pole, working by a
statistical method. has arrived at nearly
the same result; but he estimates the
advantage of superior personal play,
among players all playing by system, at
about a quarter of a point a rubber. So
that the combined skill of two very
skillful players against two very un-
skillful one would be more than half a
point a rubber.

FOUND n LEG.
Which He Lost Very Suddenly Twelve
Years Ago.

ttJ "
Years Ago.
"Jim Rcisinger found his lost
leg" said q resident of Roulette,
Penn, who recently returned from
the Butler county oil regions. Jim
lost his leg twelve years ago last
spring. He was taking a can or
nitro-glyce.ine to Centerville to
shoot an oil we'll. He had it sus-
pended from the reach of his wagon,
where he thought it would be safe
from any jar and consequent danger
of explosion. Jim would have been
right in his calculation. no doubt II
it hadn't been for a bear that rose
suddenly from a wallow hole at the
side of the road, just as the team
vas passing.
The unexpected appearance of the
bear frightened the horses and they
ran away They didn't run far,
though. The wagon struck a deep
rut in the road. The suspended can
of nitro-glycerine was knocked with
such force against a stone as the
wagon jolted down that it was ex-
ploded. When Jim came to he was
hanging to the top Of a rail fence
fifty feet away from where the nitro
~glycerine had exploded, if he could
judge from the hole half as big as
a cellar that yawned in the road.
There wasn't a fragment of anything
in sight to indicate that d few sec
onis before there had been a team OF
horses and a spring wagon where the
hole was. Then Jim discovered that
he only had one leg, his right n
having been blown away from Just
above the knee.
Fortunately for jim some drillers
heard the explosion, and hurried TO
the spot to see how little there was
left OF Jim and his outfit. They were
amazed to find so much of Jim LETT,
and they quickly carried him TX the
nearest house and got a doctor. Jim
was around all right in a few weeks.
No evidence of the previous existence
OF the team, wagon Or Jim's lost leg
had ever been discovered.
lone day last week George Dick-
son chopped down a big oak tree
that stood in a field so yards from
the spot where Jim Reisinger's blow
up occurred. In a crotch of that
tree, fifty feet from the ground, he
found some funny looking bones
lodged. He took them to Center
vile TO a doctor.
"'Why..' said he, those are the
lower bones of the human leg! 4
complete set of them, too!'
".Jim Reisinger's leg, sure. said
Dickson.
There couldn't be any doubt
about it. No one else had ever lost
a leg in that locality and never found
it, and so it was Jim's long-lost leg,
and no mistake. They boxed the
bones up and sent them to Jim at
Prospect, where he lives now, and
when l had left Butler county he
had just written back and said that
while the leg wouldn't be OF much
use, he was glad to see it, and was
much obliged"

Sam HOustOn's Duel.

A correspondent of the Bowling
Green (Ky.) Intelligence unearthed an
old mar of the vicinity who remembered
all about "the sensation of the year
1885," the old man being one of the
participants in the duel hal caused the
sensation. To settle a spat that came
of hot blood Gen. Sam Houston, then q
member of Congress from Tennessee.
and Gen. White, of Nashville, agreed
that on "Sept. %, 1926" they would
fight a duel on the Tennessee line;
time, sunrise; distance, fifteen feet;
weapons, holster pistols" Houston got
out of bed at 3 40 a. m. on the Odd, and
sitting in his night clothes, nodded two
bullets. As the first fell from the
mold a dog named "Gen. Jackson"
raised a triumphant howl under the
window. When the second bullet
dropped a game cock crowed long and
loud from aneighboring tree. Houston,
who was superstitious, cut the figure Of
a dog on Que bullet, and that of a cock
on the other. The principals stood at
their posts on the second and to the
inch. Whites lead cut a whistle
through the sharp air, but Houston
stood unhurt. At the same instant the
bullet with the dog mark passed clean
through Whites body, SO that a silk
handkerchief was drawn from inc side to
the other. After the duel Houston select
ed as his coat-of. arms the famous
chicken cock and dog"

A LONG time ago, in Mason county
Ky, an old topper agreed to fight a Zero:
cious ram, the prize being a quart of
whisky. The whole village collected to
see the fight. Both man and ram
charged at the same time, but the man
quickly righted, and, planting his foot
upon the ~lifeless carcass OF his foe, de-
manded and drank the whisky. Just
at the moment of collision the man had
dropped his head, and the nose, of the
ram coming in contact with the ele-
waited shoulders, the animals neck was
broken.

Do You Wish
the Finest Bread
and Cake?

1t is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is
the purest and strongest of all the baking powders.
The purest baking powder makes the finest, sweet
est most delicious food. The strongest baking pow
der makes the lightest food.
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most digestble and wholesome
food.
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble?
Avoid all baking powders sold with a gift
or prize, or at a lower price than the Royal,
as they invariably contain alum, lime or sui
pburic acid, and render the food unwholesome.
Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining to accept any substitute for the
Royal, which is absolutely pure.

who accompanied her, are loud in their
praises of the kind treatment of the:
friends there who made their stay so
enjoyable. Two days of faithful work
were put in, in the pleasant school
room SO kindly loaned them for the oc-

Misses Nellie and Fannie Blaine will
probably continue their studies at

or at Foreston. All the others took
