Clipping rheir claws.


One of the hardest tasks that the keep
ers In museums and geological gardens
+ ever called upon to perform ID to
trim the claws Of certain wild animals.
This Is necessary, because IL it were not
done once In awhile the claws would be
apt to turn into the flesh from lack Of ex-
ercise. In the wild state the animals
use their claws 50 much In climbing, etc,
that IL keeps them sharp and wears them
down TO the right length. In captivity.
OF course, they cannot do this, and their
keepers have to resort to all kinds OF
tricks to accomplish it. Even our pet
cats find it necessary to sharpen and
shorten their claws occasionally and can
often be seen scratching ON the bark OF
trees for that purpose.

provision under which six democrats out of
nine assemblymen were elected is unconsti-
tutional. The court awards five seats to
the republicans and four to the democrats.
Judge Mitchell (dem.) wrote the decision.
The decision is in effect that all of the acts
of the democratic assembly since its organi-
zation early in July, are illegal, including
the passing of pay rolls and the confirmation
of hundreds of the appointments of Mayor
Smith. The republicans are jubilant be-
cause they can now block Objectionable
appointments and prevent the democrats
from putting through shady financial meas
ures. The last council declared the Repub-
lican majority elected, but the city clerk, a
democrat. in calling the roll at the first
meeting called the names OF majority OF
democrats, who organized the body. The
republicans took the matter into the courts
with the above result.
A horse kicked II. s. Shafer, of the Free

the knee joint to become stiff. A friend
recommended him to use Chamberain's
Pain Balm, which he did and in two days
was able to be around. Mr.. Shafer has
recommended it to many others and says it
is excellent for any kind of bruise or
sprain. This same remedy is also famous
for its cures of rheumatism. For sale by
