talked of. Her real object was one Ct
charity, for she is using her great wealth
and influence this winter in assisting the
Danish people in the western states. She
is stopping in Chicago, and from there
writes her straightforward endorsement of
Paine's celery compound.
Women who are easily excited, who
waste energy worrying over %trifles, who
are often sufferers from sick headache and
nervousness, should read the plain, I'M
biased statments of what Paine's celery
compound has done for other women.
Among the diseases that cause a vast
amount of needless suffering that may be
readily cured by Paine's celery compound
are biliousness, torpid liver, headaches,
sleeplessness, dizziness, constipation, dys-
pepsia and general and debil-
ity.
No man or woman who is continually
ailing can successfully carry on business,
or be of much real comfort to the house
hold.
And only a thoroughly nourished body
that has all the used-up, and therefore
harmful material promptly removed from
the blood and tissues can be healthy.
When either of these vital conditions OF
adequate repair or elimination are incom-
pletely done, the organs need just such
help as Paine's celery compound is fitted
to give. No other remedy is so valuable.
Where other remedies have failed,
Paine's celery compound will succeed.

Death and Birth Time.

There are a great number of curious
superstitions as to the time of day when
a dying person is most likely to draw
his last breath, and the tide, moon and
the wind have all been supposed to have
some share in the matter. According to
The British Medical journal. Raseri,
who has analysed 90, 474 cases of death
and SO, 515 of birth, where the exact
time of day was noted, finds that the
maximum number of deaths occur in
the early afternoon (2:07 p. M and
the minimum in the last hours before
midnight, while the maximum number
of births occur in the early hours of the
morning, and the minimum in the
early hours of the afternoon.
As regards the cause of this he points
out the hours of the maximum number
of deaths are precisely those when the
pulse rate and the temperature are at
their highest in health, and when there
is a febrile exacerbation in illness.

To- AFRAID OF MAN.
Remarkable Tameness of Animals In

Remarkable Tameness of Animala In
the Yellowstone Park.
The slaughter of birds has almost an
tirely removed one of the delightful ao-
compartments of life in the rural east
the music of the feathered songsters.
Apropos of this, it may be said that one
of the most pleasant features Of the drive
through the Yellowstone National park
is the apparent intimacy between man
and the animal and bird life in the
park. Thanks to the wise and stringent
regulations, nc shooting is allowed with
in its boundaries.
"The result, - says an English tour
list, lis positively charming. Hundreds
of little ohipmunks, with their gaudy
striped backs, soampered impudently
about or peered at the passing coach
from the roadside. The squirrel did not
bolt for the nearest tree, but nodded a
welcome. All bird life treated us like
wise. Even the lordly eagle lowered
near, and the wild turkey staIked un-
concernedly through the rank grass. We
were fortunate enough to see a fine
specimen of the wolf tribe. He stood, a
beautiful creature, and watched us out
of sight, showing only curiosity, not
fear. Another time were perceived a doe
and fawn grazing by the road. Not I'M
til we were within a few feet did they
seek the shelter of the woods, yet not
to fly. They simply moved aside. Here
at least mankind was regarded as a
friend-one who could be trusted. The
only animal who ran away was a brown
bear, He turned tail at the sight of a
coaching party, yet it was quite a com
mon thing for bears to approach close
to the hotels at evening to feed on the
refuse thrown ont. 1t was an after din
ner relaxation for the guests to watch
them feeding. They munched and dis
puted the choicest morsels, for the most
part Indifferent to the company Only
when we became inquisitive and ap-
preached too near did they retire, and
these animals were perfectly free and
unfettered in their movements. 1t may
read like a fairy tale, but it is solid
fact. Troy Times.

BARRIERS on the Ocean.

One of the most important persons on
board a well equipped ocean liner is the
barber. If he is gifted with a good bust
ness instinct, be is in a position to make
a good deal of money.
To the average man shaving while at
sea is a difficult and hazardous opera
ton. He therefore calls into requisition
the services of the ships barber, a man
who by long training is qualified to
WELD the razor with skill and safety,
no matter how much the vessel rolls or
pitches.
He is always one of the most heavily
tipped" officials on the ship. If the
ship travels on a route with interesting
ports of call, the ships barber makes it
his business to lay in a stock of native
~knickknacks and curios of all kinds.
The inexperienced traveller is natu-
rally a little suspicious of the native
peddlers who swarm on board with their
wares directly the ship is at anchor. He
prefers to purchase his mementos of
foreign travel of the barber, who, hav-
ing bought his stock at wholesale rates,
is able TO retail the various articles to
passengers at prices little if at all high
er than those charged by the native

A SINGING WELL,
One of Natures Puzzles That II Lo-
Gated In Texas.

Gated In Texas.
About three miles west of Cedar
Bayou, Harris county, Tex, is a re-
markable well. When it was dug, no
a can tell, but it has been in exist
ence for more than so years. The we'll
is known as the "singing WE'LL"
In calm, fine weather a sound like
that of an Aolian harp comes upward
between the tangles of vines below.
AT times the sound seems nearer
and clearer. Then again it recedes, as
If far away, and reaches the ear very
family. These changes take place every
few minutes, and with great regularity.
With an east wind blowing the wa
ter in the well gets very low and the
mysterious musical sound very faint. A
strong west wind causes the water to
rise and the sound to increase in volume
and clearness.
But it is just before a great norther
that the old well plays it's widest
pranks. Then for several hours the wa
ter rises to within a few feet of the top
of the. we'll and emits the weirdest,
widest noises that ever reached human
ears. At such times even the water
drawn out with buckets means and
walls as if in anguish.
The well is about go feet deep. A
few years ago the land on which it is
located was bought by a Mr.. Watkins,
who, not liking the sounds that came
from the we'll, employed two men to
fill it up. They shoveled dirt into the
well two weeks, but it did not affect
the depth of water perceptibly, and
they threw up the contract. From the
measurements of the excavations they
had made it has been calculated that
the well should have been filed up a
little more than twice.
The water is very clear, with a blush
tint, and is fairly palatable. No other
wells in the neighborhood show such
pranks as are played by the "singing
well. Fort Worth (Tex.) Cor. Chi.

The Cost of Protein In Feed.

An important point in the purchase
feeds is to select those which furnish
le protein the cheapest. This is the
substance desired more than any other
when the feeds are purchased for the
purpose of enriohing the rations made
from home grown produce. While it is
impossible to obtain feeds which do not
contain more or less of the other COM
pounds, fat and carbohydrates, the pur-
chase is virtually the purchase of pro-
tein, and thus, other things being equal,
the n containing tie largest amount
of this compound is the one most useful
for the purpose. Feeds that are extreme
ly rich in protein, however, require to
be used with care in order that the ami
NAL may not in any way be injured. In
calling attention to these points the
New Jersey station says that Of four
kinds-viz, c%ottonseed meal, gluten
meal, liuseed meal and gluten feed-the
gluten feeds may be fed in larger
amounts without danger of injury than
the others. The Chicago gluten, the
cottonseed and linseed meals should be
used in ~rations for dairy cows in guam
titles not to exceed two or three pounds

Doesn't Pay to winter Ticks.

In our experience with sheep we have
learned long ago that it pays big to dip
all our sheep stock-rams, ewes and
lambs-both spring and fall, says a
writer in The National Stoekman. For
about seven years we used a homemade
wooden tank which we had lined with
tin. This tank was suitable for holding
100 gallons of dip and in it we dipped
by band all our sheep and lambs mostly
twice a year. When at several times we
omitted the fall dipping IN account of
press of work and apparent lack of time,
we were almost invariably at greater
expense of time, labor and dip when we
realized that we must dip. By reference
to II journal it is found we dipped
sheep Dec. 2, Dec. s, Jan. ID and March
.. Those dipped in March were year
lings and were first shorn. then dipped
and dried in the SUI and were after
ward housed in warm stables and a few
of the thin ones were blanketed with
gunnysaoks. OF one thing l am certain,
1t does not pay TO winter ticks.
