Of Mr. Hamlin and began at once to

customed to impose upon others. After
few days of yielcing to these encroach-

The vulture is seen at it's best when a
dead tiger, brought into camp to be
skinned, is exposed in the open. Over
head is a cloudless sky, and not bird
to be seen in that great void by the ha
man eye. The tigers body is thrown
from the pad to the ground, and before
the skin has been removed there above
one and o '-vays nearing the earth are
The vultures circling, posing like things

minutes score or two and then hun

cass of the tiger is left by those who
skinned it, the vultures descend. Down
they come like feathered thunder out Of
the sky, and from east and west and
north and south, the very embodiment
Of power while they whirled aloft and
in their quick descent to earth, and now,
as they waddle around that carrion
beast, misshapen ghouls, whose only
apparent strength is that Of the raven

tigers flesh, until within the hour
naught of that splendid brute remains
but a clean picked skeleton. Sir Ed

A City Built In a Cherry SEED.

At the time of the French Crystal
Palace exposition D Nuremberg toymak-
er exhibited a cherry stone within the
cavity of which he had built perfect
plan of the city of Sevastopol, streets.

A powerful microscope was used in
exhibiting this wonderful miniature
city, and it is estimated that not less
than 5000 people took a peep at the
results of the toymaker's toll Each Of
these 100000 sightseers deposited o

use Of Ginseng In China.

In China ginseng is often sent to
friends az valuable present, and in
such cases there is usually presented
along with the drug small finely fin
isied double kettle for its preparation.
The inner kettle is made Of silver, and
between It and the outside copper vessel
is small space for holding water. The
silver kettle fits in ring near the top
Of the outer covering and is furnished
with cuplike cover, in which rice is
put, with little water. The ginseng is
placed in the inner vessel, the cover put
ON and the whole apparatus set on the
Era. When the rice in the cover is cook
ed. the medicine is ready, and is eaten
by tisa patient, who drinks the ginseng
tea at rhe same time.
The dose OF the root is from 60 to 90
grains. During the use of the drug tea
drinking is prohibited for at least a
month, without any other change OF
diet. 1t is taken in the morning before
breakfast and sometimes in the evening
before going to bed.-Chambers' Jonr-

BicycIitis.

Bicyclitis is the name of a new
disease induced by excessive bicycling.
Its symptoms are extreme nervousness
and craze for riding the wheel at ali
times. The vibration of the wheel
does it, and the effects are serious.
But no one has anything of the kind
from using the Saint Paul & Duluth
railroad. The comfort of the ride
and the freedom from worry cause one
to want to ride again and again, but
there is no nervousneSs-only sense
of comfort and enjoyment. This has
made the Duluth Short Line very
popular with the travelling public, for
this line has fast trains equipped up
to date, and they run smoothly at
hours convenient to the business man
as well as the tourist. Always take
the Duluth Short Line and be in with
the people. Ticket agents will cheer
fully furnish maps, circulars, general
information, ETC., or they may be
obtained direct by writing to w. A.
