This is often felt in every joint and muscle of the body by turns, by people, who, ex- tism, neglect to arrest the malady, as they may easily do, with Hostetter's Stomach Bit ters, a professionally authenticated remedy for the agonizing complaint.

 (Piper Aethysticum.) used for centuries by the natives before its extraordinary properties became known to civilization through Christian missionaries. In this respect 1t resembles the discovery of quinine from the peruvian bark, made known by the Indians to the early Jesuit missionaries in South America, and by them brought to civilized man. It Is wonderful discovery, with rec. ord of 1900 hospital cures in 30 days. It acts directly upon the blood and kid. neys, and is true specific, just as qui. nine is in malaria.

Mir Wood describes himself as being In constant misery, often com pelied to rise len times during the night on treated by all his homes physicia without the least benefit and finally completely cured in a few weeks by Alkayis. The testimony is un. doubted and really wonderful. Mrs. James Young. of Kent, Ohio. writes that she had tried six doctors in vain. that she was about to give promptly cured of kidney disease and restored to health.

Deadly Creatures That Terrify the

Deadly Creatures That Terrify the
Inhabitants.
DIR. Richard E. Kunze, physician Of
New York city, has just completed a
campaign of several months among the
Insects of Arizona, and is so greatly
charmed with Colorado that he has de-
cided to take up his residence in this
state. DIR. Kunze talks in most enter
tanning manner of his trip through Ari-
Eona, and the peculiarities of insect life
Ia the far southwest.
Arizona" said he recently, sis the
Ell Dorado of the entomologist. The
variety of insect life in Arizona has for
years made the region favorite field
for students and collectors, but every
year new species are found, and new
species will be found for years to come.
] began work in Arizona in the first
week Of April last, in the vicinity of
Tucson. During the season I worked
every day, for the naturalist knows no
Sunday when he is in the field. He must
take the insects in their prime. / sue

should think they would bite"
The naturalist laughed. "Yes, they
might bite, if they had a chance; but
it is the business of the collector not
to give them chance. You see, we
are supplied with all sorts of parapher-
MALTA for handling the different insects.
Never let an insect seize you. Do the
seizing yourself. Fear is out of the
question. We face the music and take
the chances.
''The tarantula hawk" said the
learned naturalist, sis one of the pc
culiar little animals abounding in Ari-
zona. The hawk preys upon the taran-
tula, hence his name. He is built for
hunting them, and he does it to perfec-
ton. You can see the hawks crawling
along the ground in search of their
prey. They have long legs and move
like lightning when tarantula heaves
in sight. In an instant the hawk
pounces upon the poor tarantula, and
before the victim is aware of the dan
ger the deadly weapon of the enemy
is implanted in his body. The hawk
simply deposits a poison inside the body
of the tarantula, which paralyzes him.
In connection with the poison he de-
posits an egg, which proceeds to hatch
out, and a caterpillar is the result. The
young caterpillar feeds On the body of
the tarantula until he is ready to un-
dertake housekeeping on his own ac-
count. There are two species of taran-
tula hawks, distinguished by the color
/. of their wings. A peculiar thing is that
eachssPeeies has its particular kind of

POWER OVER BRUTES.
A Gypsy Who Eascinates Skuni>s,
Minlxs and Foxes.

Nordorf Breek, gypsy, went to
Northwood, n. Y, year ago, and ever
since has amazed the natives by his
success in approaching wild animals,
even coming up with a fox, and hand
ling it as if it were a pet dog:
Breell lives by himself in shanty
on the road TO the old Pardy place, and
bluejays and squirrels, mink and rab-
bits gather about his door to feed on
the scraps that he throws to them,
or to listen to his voice, which is so pc
culiar that many Northwood men say
it makes them shiver. If anyone misses
dog in the vicinity of Northwood a
visit to Breek's camp usually reveals
the whereabouts of the brute, and five
eats are constantly hanging about anx-
ious for a word or caress from the
strange man, although they all belong
TO families who feed them and pet
them.
Breek laughs when anybody asks him
about his animal friends, and the other
evening, when a skunk came waddling
into the store at his heels, Dave Jones
felt called upon to protest. Breek
picked the skunk up. Everybody drew
away hastily, but the expected conse-
quences did not come. Breek took the
skunk to the door and dropped it from
the stoop into the road. He came back,
purchased a side of bacon and some
cheese, and made his way up the road
followed by the skunk
The Northwood woodsmen would
never believe before Breek came that
foxes had gone to men for protection
from dogs on their trails, as foxes are
said to have gone to Thoreau. Now
seven persons have seen foxes seek
shelter with Breek, and there are nc
skeptics.
1T is believed that Breek's eyes are
largely responsible for his power over
animals. They are rather dark, full ot
lustre, and direct in their gaze. While
not exactly fierce, they are rather men
