win battles, so in disease fresh re-
serve of strength and vitality brought
forward in time will save life and re-
store health. Thousands of people die
of consumption every year whose lives
might be saved by fresh reserve of
healthy vitalized blood to reinforce
their lungs before it is TOO late. Con-
sumptive people often have hearty
appetite and eat plenty OF good food
but it doesn't do them any good; it
doesn't nourish them; it isn't made
into good red blood. The blood
making organs fail to do their work;
the blood is weak and watery and full
of foul elements that poison the lungs
instead of feeding and strengthening
them. They famish and waste away
because they are not reinforced with
pure nourishing blood.
Consumption is a durable disease.
When the lungs are supplied with
plenty of fresh vitalized blood they
heal up sound and we'll and the con-
sumptive RECEIVERS. This happens
every day. That wonderful blood
making medicine, DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, has cured thous-
ands of consumptives whose doctors
gave them up as beyond help. The
discovery" enters into the blood and
purifies and enriches it with fresh vital
life giving red corpuscles. They flood
the lung cells with nourishment; stop
the formation of tubercles; build up
new healthy tissue; and effect a COM
plete restoration to health and
strength. This is new gold for the
bankrupt treasury of life; fresh re-
serves to mend the disease broken
ranks of the constitution and win the
battle of health.

children of Israel passed through the
Red See, and spread with butter that
was made when Elizabeth was Queen
Of England; and washed down the re-
past with wine that was old when CO.
lumbus was playing barefoot with the
boys Of Genoa.
The apples were from an earthen jar
taken from the runs of Pompeii. The
wheat was taken from chamber in one
of the pyramids, the butter from stone
shelf in an old we'll in Scotland, where
for several centuries il had lain in an
earthen crock in icy water, and the wine
was recovered from an old vault in the
city of Corinth.
There were six guests at the table,
and each had mouthful of the bread
and teaspoonful of the wine, but was
permitted to help himself beautifully
to the butter, there being several
pounds of it. The apple jar held about
two-thirds of gallon. The fruit was
sweet and as finely favored as if it had
been put up yesterday.

TO touch il before. She sprang upon =

| Yes, she could reach the gun. II
took but moment TO cock the ham
mer, as she had often seen her father
do; then, bracing her nerves by q SUI
preme mental effort, she placed her
slender forefnger against the trigger,
closed her eyes, and pressed with all
her might. There followed deafen-
ing explosion and a binding fash, and
the load Of shot was buried in the OPP
posite wall. The conclusion almost
stunned the girl, but she had self
possession enough to spring from the
chair and dodge into dark corner for
safety, should the robber come into

A moment of silence ensued, and
then she heard few heavy footballs
in the next room, followed by loud
crash of broken glass, and she knew
that the terror stricken .fobber had
leaped through the window and made
his escape. Her plan, which had been
simply to brighten him away, had sue
ceeded, and her heart bounded with
exultation.
Through one of the windows she
saw the bold robber scampering across
the meadow toward tract of woods.
Then she rushed out of the front door
and dived in among the bushes, where
she lay trembling with excitement and
fright for half an hour. Then her
father, mother, Liza and little Neddie

Combs.

Among the relics of the earliest
forms of civilization combs are found.
They were used in world-old Egypt
thousands of years ago. Ancient Ro-
man combs were made of lockwood, or
of ivory, or of still more precious ma
terials; and similar articles have been
disinterred from the houses of long
buried Pompeii.
The more barbarous races of north
ern Europe were equally familiar with
these aids to the toilet. The old
chronicle history of Ely tells us that
the Danish invaders, following the GUS
tom of their country, FUSED to comb
their hair every day, bathed every
Saturday, often changed their clothes,
and used many other such frivolous
means of setting off the beauty of their
persons.
In the seventeenth century it seems
to have been not unusual to use leaden
combs for the purpose of darkening the
natural color of the hair. When wigs
came into fashion, combs of special de-
sign had to be made for the keeping of
the new headgear in an orderly condi-
ton. The wearer of wigs combed these
hirsute adornments in public. The
beaux carried in their pockets large
combs of ivory or tortoise shell; and to
pass these through their wigs, when
walking in the Mall, or when at Court,
or in the boxes or on the stage of the
theatre, was regarded as an act of gall
lantry. Your true gallant combed his
wig almost as often as he took snuff.

The Work OF Honey Bees.

To secure pound of honey, which is
equivalent to something like 5000
cells, would take bee several years.
In fine weather the bee makes calls
upon fifty to eighty flowers in days
outing. During this time it collects
what is equivalent to grain of nectar,
which is thin syrup and has to be
evaporated to make honey. The bee
after working all day, spends the great
er part of the night tanning the hector
with its wings to evaporate the surplus
water. In this way it shortens it's life
by wearing out its wings. Langstroth
says that bee at the height of the
working season lives about three work
ing weeks and then dies. Bees fire.
quently perish on the way home, be-
cause their wings are so shattered and
splintered that they refuse to support
the body. III disabled bee reaches
the hive alive it spends the remainder
of its days as nurse, housekeeper and
in general utility work. A good and
fertile queen bee keeps the hive full of
bees during the season. When the
honey flow stops she ceases laying at
once, then the workers kill all of the
drones and manifest other symptoms
of consuming desire for retrench-
ment.

sentiment, the herds Of Wild or nave
rick horses are really increasing and .
right royal breed Of animals they are.
When the business was good, few
years back, the Montana breeders were
the most energetic and progressive OF
any in the west. LEY bought sires OF
thoroughbred and trotting blood in
Kentucky and turned them loose with
their herds.
Others who desired size rather than
endurance went to Illinois and Canada
and purchased great Norman and
Clydesdale stations. While the prices
ruled high the two classes were bred
separately but of late years they have
been allowed to run into one uniform
and homogeneous herd. The new breed
is of good height and strengthened,
with lung power and endurance that
are suggestive of q greyhound.
If conditions were to remain the
same for, say, period of thirty years
longer, without any new admixture Of
blood it is reasonable to expect that
these herds would gradually assume .
uniformity of size, shape and color to
as great an extent as is noted in any
other wild animals. Chicago Record
