Do ANIMALS FEAR MANI
Apparently Not, Except Where The

Apparently Not, Except Where They
Have Been Hunted
New York World
There is an old story that any man can
cow wild animal by merely gazing in
to its eyes.
This theory of the power of the human
eye Is all well enough so long as 1t Is not
tried on an animal big and fierce enough
to kill the eXperimenter. All accounts
agree that. except where they have been
hunted, wild animals do not fear man
at all.
A British resident of Guiana once gave
Cornish gold seeker a lift up river in
his steam launch AS the launch was
small. the miner slung his hammock on
shore each night One morning he COM
pIained of the noise the frogs had made.
Some Indians of the crew laughed at
this and said: ooh. tiger sleep with old
man last night" What the miner had
heard was the purring or snorting under
his hammock of puma. whose tracks
and the outline of its sleeping body were
yet visible.
Upon Long Island, except during the
hunting days, the deer enter farmers
barnyards freely and show no fear Of
man. In the Yellowstone park. where
animals are protected; from hunters, they
are very chummy. The elk and black
tail come to the keepers houses to be
fed. Even brown bears hang around and
forage among the scraps thrown out by
the hotel keepers.
Dangerous animals have the same bold
ness where gunpowder is unknown. When
Berends crew were on their first voyage
a polar bear came among the sleeping
crew and bit a sailors head off. Why
should he fear the puny little creatures?
Beyond the Zambesi and Shire rivers,

ORIGIN OF BON B0NS.
Sugar Plmms, PaStiIiex and Burnt
Almonds Have 81 History

The most popular and most ancient of
bon bons are sugar plums. pastiles and
burnt almonds. but how many persons
know their history? Sugar plums date
from Roman times for the Romans were
the first to think of covering. almonds
with layers of sugar. The inventor was
certain Julius Dragotus. noted con-
fectioner, who belonged to he iilustrious
ratrician family Of Fabius. He made
this great discovery. which has wrought
so much damage to our teeth for twenty
centuries. in the year TT 3. c.. accord
ing TO the New York Herald
These bon bons, called dragati. after
their inventor (dragees in French). re-
NAMED the exclusive privilege Of the
family of Fabius. But ut the birth or
the marriage of one of that family a
great distribution of dragati took place,
as a sign OF rejoicing. This custom is
still observed by many of the nobility of
Europe
The pastille Is of later origin, hav-
ing been invented and introduced into
France by an Italian confectioner. the
Florentine John Pastilla, protege of the
Medicis. When Maria de Medici mar
ried Henry ". of France, Pastilla ac-
companied his sovereign to the French
court, where his bon bons had a tremen-
dous vogue. Everybody wanted the Flor
entine's pastilles, and. strange to say
they were perfection from the very be-
ginning He made them with all kinds of
favors-chocolate coffee, rose, violet.
mint wine. strawberry. raspberry, va
nila. heliotrope, carnation.
Burnt almonds are purely of French
origin, owing their inception to the glut-
tony of certain French merchant. One
day Marshal Duplessis-Praiin, an old
gourmet, sent for Lassag1e. his chief
confectioner, and promised him great
price for some new sweet that would
please his palate, dulled as it was by all
the pleasures Of the table Lassagne,
who had already invented many a tooth
some dainty, was a man of resource. He
searched, he reflected. he combined, until
finally he conceived a delicious hon bon,f.
which he baptized gloriously with the
name of his master, Praline, the French
for burnt almond.
This is the history of the invention of
bon bons, for all others are merely COM
binations or developments of these three
the sugar plum, the pastille and the
burnt almond.

that property.

THE PROBLEM SOLVED.
THE NEW MEDICAL DISCOVERY
TESTED.
Results Of the Test in Various
Forms of Dyspepsia.

Chronic Indigestion or dyspepsia, while
very common trouble, has for some
time been looked upon by able physicians
as a very serious thing, and that no time
should be lost in treating 1t properly at
the start, because recent researches have
shown that the most serious, fatal and
incurable diseases have their origin in
simple dyspepsia or indigestion.
Diabetes is simply one form OF indiges-
tion the sugar and starchy food not be-
ing assimilated by the digestive organs.
In Bright's disease the albumen is not
properly assimilated.
While consumption and dyspepsia are
twin diseases and it is beyond question
that dyspepsia makes a fertile soil for
the seeds of consumption.
But the trouble has been to find a rem
edy that could be depended upon to cura
dyspepsia, as 1t is notoriously obstinate
and difficult to cure.
This has been the question which has
puzzled physicians and dyspeptics alike
until the question was solved, three years
ago, by the appearance Of the new dvs-
pepsia cure in the medical world. known
as Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, which it
was claimed was a certain, reliable cure
for every form of stomach trouble.
Physicians, however would not accent
such statements without first giving the
new remedy many tests and carefully OBJ
serving results.
For three years the remedy has been
thoroughly tested in every section of the
country and with surprising and salts
factory results.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can honestly
be claimed to be specific. a radical last
ing cure for Indigestion in the various
forms of acid dyspepsia or sour stomach,
gas or wind on the stomach, too much
bile. undue fullness or depressure after
eating and similar symptoms. resulting
from disordered Indigestion Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets were not placed before
the public until this three years trial
left no doubt as to their value. and thew
have recently been placed in the trade
and can be found at all druggists at the
nominal price of 90 cents per package
