An Augusta gentleman who recently
sent to lie Figaro. one of Paris lead
ing newspapers, for a sample copy and
rates. with the idea of becoming a regu-
lar subscriber for the purpose of get
ting used to French reading of the lat
est variety, was somewhat disappointed
in the paper 1t is a six page paper
and evidently the French style of
newspaper work is very different from
the American. There is little or no
heading used and one thing is run in
after another in much the same as
book form. The first page of the copy
he received contains an account of the
the first trip to Dreyfus after he was
given his liberty. Then considerable
space is devoted to the Transvaal mat
ter. The price of the daily to be re-
ceived in this country is about Sc francs
or over 81. In Paris it is about $12 a

James Reed Injured.

Mr.. James Reed struck his leg
against cake of ice in such a manner
as to bruise it severely. 1t became
very much swollen and panied him SO
badly that he could not walk without
the aid of crutches. He was treated
by physicians, also used several kinds
of liniment and two and a half gallons
of whisky in bathing it, but nothing
gave any relief until he began using
Chamberlain's Pain Balm. This
brought almost a complete cure in a
weeks time and he believes that had
he not used this remedy his leg would
have had to be amputated. Mr.. Reed
is one of the leading merchants of
Clay Court House, w. Va. Pain Balm
is unequaled for sprains. bruises and
rheumatism. For sale by Jno. Cough

Sunday Evening Sacred Concert.

An innovation in the way of enter
tainment in Augusta was presented
Sunday evening, by the Jessie Har-
court Co. in Meonian hall, when they
gave a sacred concert to which the ad-
mission was 10 and 90 cents. There
was a good crowd in attendance, the
estimate being between 300 and 400
people. The excellent orchestra gave
the greater part of the programme
while the moving pictures and the
stereopticon added further to the
pleasure of the evening. REGULATIONS
declarations and songs by members Of
the company, made up the rest of the
entertainment. 1t was thoroughly en-
joyed by the audience. which was made
up of nice class of people.

SQUIRRELS IN WINTER.
Some o. the Manners in which They Provide
Food.

| If one asks hundred school children
in Augusta-and grown people as well
| for that matter-how squirrels subsist
| in winter, nine out of ten will reply
that they eat the nuts they gather In
the summer and fall. This is partly
but not wholly true. Their food is
widely varied in the course Of a year,
especially in the spring and summer.
Indian corn in the milk suffers more
from squirrels than from raccoons or
muskrats, which are proverbially so
fond of it. In places in the western
frontier an expensive system of watch
ing has had to be maintained at times
against the pest. One dainty IN late
summer is the mushroom, OF seVerai
varieties of which they are fond, ana
this reminds me of a bit of unexpected
sagacity in one of the western emp
hunks lately written about. IL ap-
nears that this chipmunk depends for
its ordinary fall and winter fare upon
the seeds of the pinon pine. which 1t
preserves bv storage in its holes in de-
cayed stumps or underground. 1t nap
pened lately however, that in a GER
tain area of the Northwest the pinon
cron was a complete failure, and the
ground SQUIRRELS were compelled to find
something else for their substance and
winter stores In this extremity they
turned to the mushrooms. everywhere
abundant, and We're busy during all
the late autumn in gathering them.
them underground, where they would
soon have rotted, but instead deposit
ed them in notches and crotches of the
lower branches of the forest
trees, where they dried in the open
air and so kept in good condition to be
eaten. Their shrivelling up and the
shaking of the branches by the winds
caused them to fall, and these the
squirrels industriously picked up and
tried to fasten more securely to the
branches.
This method of providing them
selves with winter food implied the
necessity of their coming forth from
their underground retreats, no matter
how cold and snowy the weather,
whenever they wanted something to
eat. instead of having their larders in
doors, as is usual with them, and it
| would be interesting to know whether
they actually did 50 or whether they
failed to profit, after all, by their SEEM
ingly sagacious prudence.
