Liver Complaint and Nervousness Cured.
We know of no complaints that are
more common than the above. You are
dull and muggy, your head feels as il
stuffed with wet feathers, your bowels
move irregularly and you have a clumsy
feeling about the liver. As this condition
deveiopes you are apt to grow despon-
dent. Try at once bottle of "Dr. Fen
ner's Blood and Liver Remedy and Nerve
Tonic 1t will brighten the spirits and
give an exceptional vigor to the body,

The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1897-07-14

Sir Samuel Baker, in his "Wild
Beasts, says that the power of the jaws
of the crocodile is terrific. Once he had
the metal of large hook, the thickness
of ordinary telegraph wire, completely
bent together, the barbed point being
pressed tightly against the shank and
rendered useless. This compression was
caused by the snap of the jaws when
Selling IA live duck, which he had used
as bait. the hook being fastened be-
meath one wing On one occasion he
found fish weighing 20 pounds bitten
clean through as if divided by knife.
This, again, was the work of snap
from the jaws of crocodile. NJ Paul
Bert once made experiments on the
strength of crocodile's jaws by means
of a dynamometer. He found that Il
crocodile weighing l20 pounds exerted
IA force of 30S pounds in closing his jaw.
The lion has an enormous jaw power.
On one occasion an African traveller
pushed the butt end of his gun into u
lions mouth, and the pressure of the
jaws cracked it rs though it had been
struck by steam hammer.

some Odd Wills.

One of the oldest documents Of the
will kind known was that of Queen Aus
trigilda, consort of King Goutram of
Burgundy. The dying princess enjoined
upon her husband to slay and bury i'll
the same grave with her the physicians
who had attended her. Another will
was that of husband who forbade his
wife's marrying ON pain of his returning
to haunt her. This is quite different
from that of woman who instructed
her executors to seek out 'some nice,
good, pretty girl. who would make an
atfectionate second wife TO her spouse

Artificial Petroleum.

Among the achievements of science is
the production Of petroleum from lin
seed oil by distillation under pressure.
Two theories have been held as to the
origin Of petroleum. One is that it is of
vegetable, the other Of animal origin.
1t is not unlikely that it may he a COM
binatlon of both Animal and vegetable
oils filter through the ground and might
by changes in the chemical laboratory
of nature produce tins substance, At
all events, the fact is significant and
interesting, especially as several peuo-
leum hydrocarbons have resulted from
the experiments rs noted. New York

II. Desired His Moneys Worth.

King Milan of Servla once went to
the house of distinguished lady who
was giving bazaar for the benefit of
the poor children of Paris. As soon
as the king appeared upon the sccue.
She advanced toward him with
splendid silver salver in her hand. OH
which were beautifully cmblazoncd
the family arms. On it lay pretty
little bunch of violets. How much,
madameY asked the king. Twenty
four louis. sire" was her soft response.
Milan paid her the sum she had asked,
with courteous bow, took the salver
from her hands, placed the bouquet in
his button-hole, and walked off with
the tray under his arm.
