"When my little boy was six years old
he had an attack OF the measles, and after
recovering he was restless at night, had
no appetite, and was cross and fretiul.
Later on, large blotches and sores broke
out on his face and limbs. We were told
they would heal in a few days; but
these few days grew into months. One
day my husband, who is a well-known
railroad man, was advised by some OF his
fellow workmen to give the boy Hoods
Sarsapsrills. We concluded to do 30, and
after ne had taken the first bottle we
noticed some improvement. We kept on
giving him this medicine until he had
taken three bottles, when he was COM
pletely cured, and he has been well ever
since" MRS. Il. j. MILLER, Bennett, Pa.

Things You Can Do
Just as Well as a Learned
Physician.

Often It is needless to consult doctor.
At such times you can treat yourself
just as we'll as the most learned physi-
clan. When man or woman is suffer
ing from Kidney disease, the doctor asks:
DO you desire to urinate often, and are
you compelled to get up frequently at
night to make water? DO YOU have
pains in the small of the back? Does
your urine stain linen? Is there a scald-
ing pain in passing water, and is it
difficult to hold the urine bacl;?" If the
answer is Yes" to any Of these ques-
tions, your Kidneys are diseased and
decay has set in. Ask yourself these
questions, and answer them
There is another thing you can do.
Put some of your urine in glass tumbler
O. bottle, and let it stand "a hours. If
there is a sediment or powder-like sub
stance at the bottom, or a cloudy
appearance, there is grave danger. Your
Kidneys are surely affected. Sufferers
with any of the above symptoms ought
to be GLAD to know that Dr. David Ken
rcdys Favorte Remedy will surely
relieve and cure even the most distress
ing cases. No living physician can pre-
scribe a medicine for Kidney, Bladder.
Liver and Blood that equals Favorite
Rcmcdy--not one. Nearly all who drink
beer or whskey have diseased Kidneys,
but Favorite Remedy removes the bad
effects, and it also does away with
the use Of instruments for pushing back
the sandy matter so that the urine may
pass freely from the bladder. All drug
stores sell this medicine for 81 a bottle.

elapse also between the dropping Of
two eggs by the same hen.
The eggs of the malice hen are out
of all proportion to her size. They are
us large as those of a goose, and of
large hens are very much larger.
The eggs thus laid and covered in this
great sand oven in the hot districts
are never again disturbed by the hens.
The eggs are Matched by the heat the
san bakes into the soil where they lay.
II has never been known how the young
chicks are eXcavated from their egg
grave, for the eggs are deposited fully
six feet below the surface, and the
hardening rains do not aid their exit
very much.
The hen Is so very shy and vigilant
that no one is able to study her ma
ternal and domestic habits with salts
faction. AS she lays her egg at night
and transacts most of her affairs in
the night watch so that no naturalist
or curious individual can ferret her
out, possibly she steals to her expected
brood under cover of night also and
which they must surely need after the
piping of the eggshell.
Bush naturalsts have been curious
t. know how this peculiar fowl builds
that nest. The birds have been seen
working ut it and the mounds have
been inspected, but the piling of the
dirt is not from the immediate vicinity,
for that is pndisturbed. Small sprigs
and the like enter into the plastic ma
sonry, which stands storms and heavy
rains, when they do fall, without Sc
rious injury.
These huge cones stand for years, to
be annually nested in by the same flock
which originally constructed the fam
lily incubator. When detected the hens
emit a pitiful little cackle and flutter
away like wounded innocent. The

and when she met group Of gleeful

Her eyes were so bright and her
cheeks so rosy, that Mrs. Gillespie
viewed her through her spectacles with
wonder.
81 declare, Doris, IL you weren't so
sensible and so settled in your ways,
l should think you had just been having
an offer--and accepting it, too. You
look as young and handsome as the best
of them"
Doris laughed, slipped off her hat and
jacket. collapsed into the little sewing
chair, and in another minute was APP
parently absorbed in Sarah James bias

"Don't make it too scant. Doris" said
her companion. "Skimpiness don't pay

C"Nor when you're sending valen-

The short February day came to an
end. Sarah James gingham was fin

Doris nodded gayly. She was in a

A BIRDS sroREHousE.
The California Woodpecker Packs
Its Food Away safely.

Fred. A. ODER, who has been a great
traveller, recounts some Of the strange
scenes he has witnessed for the benefit
of readers OF ST. Nicholas. He con-
tributes paper TO the number called
"A Birds Storehouse; or, the Carpenter
Bird" Mr.. ODER says:
lie is a handsome bird and il there
were not so many of his species he
would attract n great deal OF attention.
He has bright red head, black-and-
white body. and needle-pointed tail.
The tail supports him in perpendicu-
lar position on the side of a tree, while
he is hammering, or rather chiseling,
Il hole in its bark.
Now, all woodpeckers, having shorp-
pointed beaks and very strong muscles
in their necks and heads, can drive
deep hole into the side of n tree or
stump; but this California woodpecker
is said to surpass them all as n hole
digger; and he not only digs the hole.
but he fills it up with nut or an
acorn,
This is the strangest part of his per-
formance; for while great many
other birds have the hole-digging in
stinct, there are very few OF them that
possess the hole-flling instinct The
blue jays and the squirrels have habit
of accommodating supplies in the shape
of nuts and acorns, and you may sec

out of the emptiness of the stomach
the thought uttereth itself.
II know I've been what people call a
born fool but / said l would take the
risk. If l die, Eben will never know
why. He may come back some day, and
drop few tears on my grave, and per-
haps remember the pleasant hours we
had before the trouble came between
us. And how the neighbors will eX-
claim, when they find have withdrawn
my bank Deposit! They will search
every hole and~corner for my hidden
cash, and thenbury me at town expense.
Well, 1 shall never know it,"
But Doris did not die. She lived a
day and n half without eating, because
she was too proud to run in to any of
her neighbors' houses, socially, for a
cup of tea.
Toward the end of the second day
Mrs. Gillespie opened the kitchen door
and found Doris weak and shivering
in her little downstairs bedroom, de-
batting within herself whether she
should make n friendly visit to Ann
Flnney. her next neighbor, where she
would be sure of hearty welcome,
warmth and supper.
'Why, Doris Hilburn, your fire is as
dead as Julius Caesar, and you look as
IL you were going to have fever.
Whatever in this world possesses you
to keep so at home? / meant to send
Sarah Jane down to ask you to spend
tomorrow with us, but on second
thoughts decided to come myself"
Doris tried to smile welcome, and
rose feebiy to start fire with the next
days share of shingles.
I'm not quite so clipper today" she
said, drawing forth her little rocking
chair for the visitor. 81 guess I'll be all
right to-mor--" she staggered and fell
forward into Mrs. Gillespie's arms.
That good lady put her back to bed,
watched her shrewdfy as she regained
her consciousness, then said: "Now,
lie still, Doris, and I'll light your fire
for you."
The little dressmaker murmured
something about ordering coal soon.
She meant to be truthful. But Mrs.
Gillespie was already out in the kitchen,
lifting the stove lids, her suspicious
aroused.

branches. The same instinct prompts
this woodpecker to lay in his stores
of acorns. Some people say, however,
that he never resorts to these supplies
again, but just lays them up without
thought as to the future at all. But
this is not the way with nature. She
does not work blindly, but always with
some wise purpose in view.
At any rate, this bird can drill hole
in the very hardest wood, and at this
business he is employed almost all the
time. The holes are usually made in
rows, at regular distances apart, each
about the size of an acorn. He is never
discouraged, and never gives up a task,
even though ii may seem most formida-
BILE. He has been known to surround

circumference, with rings of holes
one above another, from the root to the
topmost limb, for over 200 feet. / say
"he" did it, but ! mean, of course, gen.
Grafton after generation of them, for
many, many years.
After he has got the hole or holes
TO his liking, he flies oil to the nearest
oak tree and secures an acorn, which
he brings to the storehouse tree and
places in the little safety deposit" he
has made for it. 1t fits exactly, and so,
inserting it sharp end first, he hits
it repeatedly with his beak, and drives
it in to stay till needed.
So long as the woodpecker confines
his harvesting to the acorns, no one
except the Indians, who frequently
store them up for winter food, will
have anything to say. But this he does
not do. 1t is said that he likes nuts as
well, and a story is told Of n family Of
woodpeckers that completely stripped
Il small grove of almond trees. The
owner of the grove thought he must
nave a good crop, and when the time
came to gather it he went TO do so, and
10! there was not n nut on any tree!
y But one of his boys, in foraging about,
found an immense old oak which was
partly dccaycd, and riddled with holes
from top to bottom. And in each hole
was an almond! So the tree was cut
down, and the man secured several
bushels of almonds, after all; but the
woodpeckrrs seeded him loudly.

That history repeats itself has just
received another proof. Some years
ago the men of Il Bavarian regiment of
which Prince Macmillan was chief, in
order that they might show their, de-
yotion to him. cut off their mustaches
and sent them to the princess, who had
just become II mother that she might
use them as Il pillow. Something very
like repetition of this has just taken
place ut Rappoistweller, in Alaska. The
chief Of the fire brigade was few days

Then Doris, with rather grim smile,
sat before her kitchen fire with bit Of
memorandum book on her knee, and a
pencil in her left hand.
Slowly and clumsily she jotted down
some items, and gazed at them.

Then she laughed till the tears came.

In fact, that is what everybody did
say; and Doris smiled her little grim

And, day by day, the potatoes
dwindled and the flour grew less, while
the crippled hand became no better.
At last the final morsel of food had dis
appeared, and Doris scraped the coal
