STORED-UP BREATH.
Among Land Animals the Java Hat IL
One of the Most
Curious.

To q certain extent all animals that
live in the sea, such as whales, wal.
ruses, seals, dolphins and porpoises,
have the power to store up air, as they
breathe only at intervals when they
come to the surface for that purpose,
says the Pittsburgh Dispatch. But of
land animals the most extraordinary
case is that of the bat (nycteris javani-
cus). which inhabits Java and parts of
Africa. This creatures skin Is only
attached to its body in few places, so
that beneath it there is a vacant space
which is connected with two small aper-
lures at the bottom of its cheeks by
means of deep groove down the middle
of the forehead.
The nostrils are so formed that they
close when the animal is at rest and
open only at will, which would prevent
its breathing while asleep. But by re-
spring in peculiar way,with its mouth
closed, the animal can initiate the store
house beneath the skin with spare air,
WHICH it pumps along its frontal pas
sage, over its back. chest and abdomen,
until it is pulled out like a balloon.

ROYAL HUNTSMEN.
Queen VictO~ia Has Set mn Example
of Mercy to Her SpOrt-Lov-
ing Lords.

1t is pleasing to learn that Queen Vic
toria disapproves of the ''hecatombs of
game" that constitute feature at most
shooting parties nowadays in England.
That, at least, is one step in the direc-
ton of mercy, but even the queen can
not prevent the English love of sport.
Perhaps it is better so, remarks the
Boston Herald. She would be very
unpopular sovereign if she did not al
low this concession of three hours
shooting in the royal preserves. But
this edict forbidding her son and heir
to kill more game than can be consumed
is royal slap at her German grand
son, and it is hoped it may have the
proper effect in Berlin court circles
when they go a-hunting. There is only
one other place In England beside Wind
sor where The rule of three hours
shooting prevails. The duke of West
minister limits his guests also and is
exceedingly particular about the num-
Der of guns as we'll as the skill of those
who use them. 1t is sorry moment for
that guest who does clumsy or I'M
sportsmanlike thing to the dukes birds,

THE LITTLE BREADMAKER.

Take two quarts, one pint OF flour,
Fine and white as can be found;
Pour It heaping on the sitter
Resting on the bread-pan round.
OF sugar add one tablespoonful,
And the same amount of salt,
Mix and rub them on the sitter
Till all's through, then call halt.
Save one cupful of the mixture
Till to knead 1t you begin,
In one quart of blood-warm water
Melt yeast-cake smoothly in.
Pour the water on the -four,
Mixing both into dough.
Knead the dough for fifteen minutes
Some say twenty. Don't be slow.
When the doughs no longer sticky,
Cover it, and say goodnight.
Place it where twill not be chilly
If you wish to find it light
In the morning you divide it,
Make three loaves. and knead again.
Let them rise little longer,
To the pans edge. Place them then
In the oven. Bake one hour.
By that time they should be done.
Draw them forth, and cool them slowly.
There! Bread-making's only fun.

AND SCIENTIST. WILL SEND FREE, TO
THE AFFLICTED, THREE BOTTLES
OF HIS NEWLY DISCOVERED REM
EoIES TO CURE CONSUMPTION

than the offer of r. A. Slocum, M. c., of
IS3 Pearl street, New York City.
Confident that he has discovered an alb
solute cure for consumption and all pull
monary complaints, and to make its great
merits known, he will send, free, three
bottles OF medicine, to any reader of The
Midland Journal who is suffering from
chest, bronchial, throat and lung troubles
or consumption.
Already this 'new scientific course of
medicine" has permanently cured thou
sands of apparently hopeless cases.
The Doctor considers it his religious
duty-a duty which he owes to humanity

Offered freely, is enough to commend it,
and more so is the perfect confidence of
the great chemist making the proposition.
He has proved the dreaded consumption
to be durable disease beyond any doubt.
There will be no mistake in sending

generous invitation. He has on file in his
American and European laboratories tes-
timonials of experience from those cured,
in all parts of the world.

OUR LATE UNDERSTANDINGS.

Kincaid Dispatch: We thought they
were having prosperity over at lola,
yet the Republican city ticket was
defeated by large majorities over
there this week.
Bronson Record The city election
in lola Tuesday. was a complete vic
tory for the Citizens ticket. This
means city ownership ofgas and more
taxes added to the already high rate.
Some people don't know when they
have got good thing.
Chanute Blade: Tuesday lola held
her first election as a city of the Sec
ond class. Two tickets, "Republi-
cam and "Citizens," were in the
field. A hot campaign was had, not
necessarily for the good of the city,
and the "Citizensn ticket was elected
by good majority.
Neodesha Derrick lola held an cleo.
ton Tuesday and the Citizens ticket
was elected by an overwhelming ma
jority over the Republican ticket
The former whooped it up all through
the campaign for municipal ownership
of gas for lola, while the latter did
not make that a factor of the issue,
fighting on purely political grounds.
The Citizens ticket with the excep-
ton of councilman from one ward de-
feated, was elected by majorities
ranging from 10 to 200 The election
as we have noted occurred on Tues
day and the next day it showed.

causes of impure blood, or its far-reaching
effects. When a mans digestion is disor-
dered, his liver sluggish, his bowels mac
tive, the blood is deprived of the proper
food elements, and the sluggish liver and
bowels supply in their place, the foulest
of poisons. The blood Is the life-stream.
When it is full of foul poisons, it carries
and deposits them in every organ and it's
sue of the body. Bone, sinew, muscle and
flesh-tssue, the brain cells and the nerve
fibres are all fed upon bad, poisonous food.

man is weakened in every fiber of his body.
He is weakened physically, mentally and
morally. He suffers from sick headache,
distress in stomach after meals, giddiness

bad taste in the mouth, shakiness in the
morning, and dullness throughout the day,
and lassitude and an indisposition to work.
