Mr.. w. f. Benjamin, editor of the Spec
tator, Rushford, My, says: SIT may
be pleasure to you to know the high
esteem in which Chamberlain medicines
are held by the people of your own State,
where they must be best known. An
aunt of mine, who resides st Dexter,
Iowa, was about to visit me few years
since and before leaving home wrote me
asking If they were sold here, stating If
they were not she would bring quantity
with her, as she did not like to be with
out them" The medicines referred to
are Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
famous for its cures of colds and Group;
Chamberlain's Pain Balm, for rheuma-
tism, lame back, pains in the side and
chest, and Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy for bowel COM
plants These medicines have been in
constant use in Iowa for almost quar-
ter of century. The people have learn
ed that they are articles of great worth
and merit, and unequaled by any other.
They are for sale here by the Chas. Lyle
Drug Company.

HE BATHED IN CHAMPAGNE.
An Arizona Prospector Whom Fortune
Proved Too Much For.


(From the San Francisco Chronicle.)
A champagne bath with wine selling at
So. go pint is o luxury which but few
ordinary people indulge in in these days
of depression, but there died in the Stock
ton Insane Asylum few days ago a man
who actually bathed in this costly wine,
and an ordinary hotel bathtub was the
receptacle which he used for the purpose
This man was J. E. Durkee, whose
name was one of the best known before
on since in Arizona. He went there in
the latter seventies, and by fortunate
combination of circumstances wholly of
his own making was soon enjoying &
princely income, ranging from 800 to
81, 800 day. This was maintained for a
long period. The receipt of so much
wealth proved too much for his weak in
tellect, and he ended his days in an in
sane asylum, almost forgotten by the
people who only a few years ago were re-
ceiving his bounty. What was left of
Durkee was shipped to Los Angeles and
there buried from an undertaking parlor,
very few knowing anything, and appa-
rently caring less, about the ending of the
man who, less than ten years before, lux
uriated in champagne baths and was a
high roller in that town.

INCoNCEIvABLE SWEETNESS.
The Virginia Plover Makes More Thar
Three Miles Minute
(The Chautauouan.)

The distance covered by birds in days
travel is matter of great interest, but
it has not been studied rs it ought to be.
We know, however, in general way,
that under favorable circumstances geese
and ducks yer from 300 up to 610 miles
in q day of twentyfour hours
The Woodworking insect eaters that
travel by day probably average five or six
miles. The gorgeous Baltimore oriole
being easily traced by both plumage and
voice, has been noted all the way from
Rodney, Miss. to Oak Point, Manitoba, n
distance of ], 1913 miles and he covered it
in AZ days-a speed of 81 miles per day.
lot of other birds were Jumped to-
gether and an average of twenty-three
miles day obtained But the observers
were few. And then it may be that the
birds flew hundred miles in night and
then rested three days thereafter. They
averaged SO many miles Il day, but what
was their actual speed a-wingP Gatke, n
German observer, who has devoted fifty
years to the study of birds in migration
on the little island called Heligoland.
concludes that the Virginia plover travels
go miles per hour, and that the average
altitude of grants in fine weather is at
least 10000 feet. Will we ever learn about
these things definitely?
That the time of n birds arrival in the
spring varies with the weather is known
to all, but to this rule there are some
marvellous exceptions. On May 1S, 1877,
Wilson blackcap warbler was seen in a
certain bush by an observer, who took
especial note of the fact because it was a
new bird to him and for other reasons.
1t was seen at 1870 p. M A year later
the observer happened to remember the
fact, and went to the shrubbery to see if
by chance n blackcap had arrived, ana
found one in the same bush at the same
hour. And this thing happened again
the third year. 1t doubtless just hap
pened so, and yet the birds that start
north late i'll the season, rs the blackcap
does, move with much greater regularity
than the early travellers do.
That individuals remain behind while
the main hosts of tribe migrate is very
we'll known. 1t is worth while noting,
because it emphasizes the assertion that
eccentric people are found among birds
as among men. And some travel far
from accustomed haunts. The Swain
sons hawk from the Rocky Mountains
has been found in the Adirondacks, and
the horned lark of the plains in Massa-
chusetts. l should not be astonished to
find an Idaho magpie lowering around
the Capital at Washington.
