A Very Popular Calendar.

Few people in these busy days are will
ing to live without Il calendar to mark
the passing of time. This fact, no doubt.
accounts for the calendars of all kinds,
colors, shapes and sizes which flood the
mails at this season. Among them all
the one that best suits us is that issued
by n. w. Aver & Son, the Keeping
INCREASINGLY Att Newspaper Advertis-
ing Agents of Philadelphia. We have
just received our new copy and are fixed
for 1897. 1t is not difficult to see why
this calendar is SO great favorite. The
figures on it are large enough to be read
across a room: it's handsome appearance
makes it worthy of a place i'll the best
furnished office or library, while it is bust
nesslike all the way through. The pub
fishers state that the demand for this
calendar has always exceeded the sup
ply. This led them years ago to place
upon it nominal price-25 cents, OH re-
ceipt of which it is sent. postpaid and
securely packed, to any address.

A MOUNTAIN EXPERIENCE.

One Hunter Succumbs and the % her
Barely Escapes Death.
A. O. Mechling of Sank, Or, was
taken to the hospital i'll Sedro, Snohom-
ish county. He was nearly exhausted
and both of his feet were badly FROST
bitten.
Mechling and George A. Pierce lad
established camp and provisioned it
for the winter, seven miles northwest of
Glazler Peak, where they expected to
spend the season hunting and trapping.
They came out at election time and
voted, and the next day Pierce started
back. while Mechling carried the ballots
of Sank precinct to Mount Vernon.
Mechling strapped on his pack on No
vember Z and started to oyertakc Pierce,
coming up with him on the afternoon of
November 10 we'll up to the top of the
mountain. 1t had been showing hard
for several hours and Mechling es-
timated the fall at about ten feet. When
Mechling reached Pierce he found him
exhausted and frostbitten. His COM
panion refused to go another step. Per
SuaSion was useless. he worked with
Pierce until II o'clock, when he left him
dead in the snow.
Mechling started on toward camp,
which was only one and nalf miles
distant, reaching it the next morning at
o'clock. To his surprise and discour
agement he found that the camp had
been burned during their absence.
The difficulties now to be encountered
would have struck terror to any man
with less nerve and endurance than
Mechling. He could not retrace his
steps on account Of the deep snow. He
had left his pack, his camp was burned
and consequently he had neither blank
cts nor food.
Undaunted he started out on another
divide, and after ten days travel without
food or blankets reached a Siwash camp
twenty-siX miles up the Suattle river on
November y. The Indians helped him
to Sank on November %, and he was
brought down the Skagit in a canoe to
the hospital on November %. The SUI
geons are unable to state what will be
the result of Meetings. exposure
A year ago Mechling, in a fight with
n bear, was severely torn. and lay in
Providence hospital in Seattle for some
time

A TALK ON DYSPEPSIA.
A Disease of CiviIization-Its Symp-
toms-How to Cure 1t.


Dyspepsia is said to be a disease OF
civilization. Savages know nothing
about it. The disease has become do
mesticated in America and we as
people have threatened to monOpoliZe
it. Few disorders infiict upon their
victims greater suffering, yet dyspep-
STA is lot particularly dangerous and
seldom causes death. Ii permits the
sufferer tu linger in misery for the al
lotted term Of life
The complaint usually begins with
sense OF fullness, tightness and weight
in the stomach after meals, and di-
minished or lost appetite. FlatulencE
and sour stomach are also common, and
there is often nervousness, vomiting
and general distress. Dizziness is also
n prominent symptom, and an "all
gone" feeling in the stomach. Some
times the patient has bad taste in the
mouth, headache, heartburn and palpi-
tation.
Dyspepsia is the result of disturbed
or interrupted functions of the stom
lch and digestive organs. The cure
consists in restoring these functions.
If the stomach is too weak to digest
food it must be strengthened. This
must be done through the blood, which
is the medium that carries strength and
nourishment to all the organs. Hoods
Sarsaparilla is the One True Blood
Purifier and it cures dyspepsia by pur-
flying and enriching the blood, COM
bined With its direct action upon the
stomach and its secrerions. Perhaps
in no way has Hoods SarSaparilla re-
lieved greater suffering than in its cures
Of dyspepsia which are indeed legion.
If you are suffering from this disease.
give Hoods Sarsaparilla a fair trial at
once. 1t will tone and strengthen your
stomach, give YOU an appetite and
strength and relieve the pains and mis-
cries Of dyspepsia

BULL AGAINST RHINoCERos.

A Terrible Fight Between the Animals,
in Which the Bull Conquers.
When / was on the Zulu frontier, said
a traveller recently, | stopped for a week
with a native, splendid fellow, who had
fine farm. Among other animals he
had young bull called Hulo, which he
and his children believed could vanquish
any beast on earth. Hulo was a great
pet and not in the least vicious, SO ! was
surprised on the second evening of my
stay to see Hulo shifting the air and paw
ing the ground in evident rage. / was
about to ask what it meant, when out Of
the forest came an ugly rhinoceros.
My host and [ hurried for our guns and
Hulo dashed at the beast with dauntless
courage. A rush, a crash and the bull
was hurled twenty feet. Fortunately
the horn of his enemy had not caught
him and the first rush had taught him
a lesson. His horns were like sharp
swords, but the hide of the rhinoceros
is remarkably thick and the young bull
soon showed signs of fatigue. So he
resorted to strategy and lodged behind
his clumsy foe, giving him vicious stabs
in the thighs. This was rapidly weak
ening the rhinoceros, and just at this
time we found some steel bullets, leaden
bullets having no effect on this animal,
and quickly completed the work Hulo
began. Then the bull stood on the car
cass and beloved his joy.-London

"How old are the Niagara Falls?' is
fascinating question to which biologists
have given replies varying by tens of
thousands Of years, says the Youths
Companion. At first it was estimated
that the Niagara river came into exist
ence through changes in the level of the
land around the great lakes, about So
900 years ago. Later this was reduced
to only 10000 years. The celebrated
geologist, Sir Charles Lyell, increased the
estimate again to 5000 years: but more
recently others have lowered it to about
5000 years.

the most recent Investigations places the
age of the river at $4,000 years, and
that of the cataract at 81, 900 years. At
one period. many thousand years ago,
the height of the falls was 400 feet.
