TRAITS OF ANIMALS.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE
CAT AND THE TIGER.
PecuIiarities of Each.

The cat and the tiger belong practi-
callyt to the same genus or family.
But they vary in habits and natural
tendencies.
tiger will spring upon and destroy a
deer.
A cat will watch for hours and take de-
light in destroying vermn.
Each organ in the human body has its
special function or duty to perform, and
does it.
The stomach seizes upon our TODD di-
gests it, and so prepares it as to nourish
the various tissues.
The kidneys, on the other hand, have
different work to do.
Like the cat they lie in wait and seize
and throw out from our blood every poi
son, impurity, and disease germ as last
as the blood passes through them.
They are not simply filters. They know
what to seize and throw out OF the blood,
and what not to touch
Like detective who knows every crimi-
nails face, they know in a moment the
good from the bad.
Dr. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills con-
tain, in its most active and concentrated

in the festival The piano solos OF Mrs.
Shepard, and the sweet, true rendering
OF words and music by Miss Clark, will
never be forgotten by the listeners.
Miss Harvey read with fine effect, and
received well merited applause
When after the last concert, Mrs.
Shepard declared that she had never had
so small a chorus do as satisfactory
work, and that she was proud Oft, the
members felt highly complmented.
A just feeling of pride may be INDUCED
in by not only the chorus, but by the
committees upon whom Tell much ardu
Gus work. Hearty thanks are due the
people of the town for the cooperation
and interest during the festival.
Dinner was served each day in the
town hall, and these dinners formed no
small part of the enjoyment OF the occa-
sion. The liberal heart and hand of
Peacham were never more manifest, and
the dinner tables were both attractive to
the eye and enlicing to the palate. The
genial flow of wit and humor that
accompanied the partaking of the boun-
ties, evlnced the cordiality OF the enter
tanners and the appreciation of the
guests.
In the after dinner speeches of Friday
there was an abundance OF fun. After {.
A. Bunker had given a racy eulogium Of
Massachusetts and her gifted representa-
tive, Martha Dana Shepard, the latter
arose and in a most charming and witty |
manner, paid her tribute to the chorus
and the people of Peacham.
Another year we hope to have another
festival under the same inspiring leader.

GREAT FIRE IN JOHNsTowN. PA.
Twelve Fire Companies Labor Long to Sub
due the Raging Flames.

Johnstown, Pa. March AT 2:30
o'clock tonight a fire broke out in the
basement of the Nathan Miller block,
on the principal business thoroughfare
that soon threatened the whole bust
ness part of the town. The Miller
block, and the owners stock of gro
ceries were quickly destroyed; loss
$4,000. The four-stOry Hannah block
adjoining met the same fate. Among
the occupants of this building were
the Morning Democrat, whose new
plant cost So, 900; H. VI. Bensheff's book
bindery, the Neuman League club, Jno.
Humans hardware store. and the Up
degrave millinery establishment The
total loss on the Hannah building and
contents is $l16,000. The Wolf block
adjoining the Hannah building was the
next 10 burn, entailing loss Of prob
ably $4,000. This block contained F.
VI. Mahlan's grocery, the Americas
club and the offices of many lawyers.
At midnight the fire is still raging
having extended past the Wolf block
TO the residence of Mr.. Wolf. on Lincoln
street. The city's twelve fire compan-
les seemed powerless to subdue the
conf1agration. Not since the great
flood of 1889 have such scenes OF wild
confusion been witnessed here.
At 1:45 the fire is practically under
control, the firemen having prevented
the flames from extending beyond the
residence of Morris Wolf. Several
firemen were painfully hurt.
