During the winter of 1897 Mr..
James Reed, one of the leading citi-
zens and merchants of Clay, Clay
Co., w. Va, struck his leg against a
cake of ice in such a manner as to
bruise it severely. 1t became very
much swollen and panied him SO bad
ly that he could hot walk without
the aid of crutcEes. He was treated
by physicians, also used several kinds
of liniment and two and a half gall
lone of whisky in bathing it, but
nothing gave any relief until he be-
gan using Chamberlain's Pain Palm.
This brought almost complete cure
IN weeks time and he believes that
had he not used this remedy his leg
would have had to be amputated.
Pain Palm is unequaled for sprains,
bruises and rheumatism. For sale

PERHAPS of all my birds the one l called

very blue rims 1t was brought from Ven

meal worms had several of these crows
but one was particularly tame, and ram

materials found it once or twice inside
large workbag full of crewels, where 1t
had gone in search of gay threads, with
which it used to decorate the wire walls of
ar empty cage kept in the veranda outside
my own sitting room. The extraordinary
patience and ingenuity of that bird in pass
ing the wool through the meshes of the
wire can hardly be described. l suppose it

Our Tall Soldiers.

FROM i-eslie's Weekly.
There was a strange contrast between orr
men and the men of the Spanish forces
when they came i'm direct contact with
each other. The dark clothes of the Amer
lean soldier give an air OF strength that is
lacking in the light blue cotton uniform of
the Spaniards. Besides this, the Span
lsh soldiers are a great deal smaller in
stature and breadth of shoulders and weight
than our men. The cavalry is mounted
upon little bronco-like horses that USUALLY
pace little short fast gait They are in
strange contrast with our great, fine cav
airy horses and heavy-set troopers. I was
standing on corner talking to n Spanish
captain when the 9th United States Infan-
try marched down the streets toward the
theater which they made their barracks
The Spanish officer watched the men a few
moments, and then turned to me and asked /.
rs this picked regiment?'
NO, l remarked: cit is no different from,
the rest of our regiments"
But you don't mean to saw" he ex-
claimed, that you have another regiment
like this?" And he really would not be-
lieve me when | told him that this was
merely an ordinary regiment. He had sun
posed that 1t was one of our fancy special
regiments that had been sent in as a guard
of honor.

SHOTTING,
An Interesting Industry That Seems
to Have Many Followers
From Black and White.

From Black and White.
Mr.. Seppings Wright has come across
many curious trades and peculiar methods
of earning a living in his wanderfnes
through all corners OF the globe bIt tho
business of Shooting he discovered at home
for it is daily pursued under the ewes of
thousands of holiday folks and landsmen
generally, who neither know nor care what
the longshoremen are about in their fishing
boats a few miles from land But these
busy workers are engaged upon the busi
ness of "shotting," and the nature of that
peculiar occupation We will now describe
All royal navy men training for the rank
of seaman gunner have to undertake a
more or less lengthy term of regular prar-
uce in firing, and for these men during their
period of training some two or three of the
oid-pattern gunboats are set aside These
vessels are connected with every backward
and while obsolete for battle purposes
make excellent training ships They are
OF course, lifted with approved modern
weapons, and daily during the season they
carry squads of embryo gunners to the sea-
ward ranges that lie outside the Spithead
forts. The bearings of these practice
grounds depend on the articuIar coninnc
ton of certain objects ashore, and the tar
gets are generally placed in shoals, where
fair range can be commanded free of
traffic.
After a busy and noisy period so m,,cb
solid metal has been blazed away into the
sea, and it is this metal that the shelters
set forth to recover when the gunboats
have done their task and return to the
dockyard The ranges and the area in
which the cannon balls most probably lie
submerged are, of course well known to
the searchers. Armed with experience and
a long ironshod pole they sail over the
| ranges and probe the shallow bottom care
fully. Familiarity with their task renders
them sk.llful and an expert knows in an
instant when his pole touches the hidden
projectile beneath.
The shell found, a pair of huge tOnes is
| lowered into the sea, and it is gripped and
carefully lifted aboard. The price of the
metal shells is slight and rarely exceeds
| one penny halfpenny a pound, but the brass
| studs on the shot posses consdera bly,
| more value, and these are usually cut out
| intact. Both studs and the main iron fab
| rio of the recovered shells are sold to the
| royal navy. and the prices offered appear
| sufficient to set many men at steady work
| on the task of recovering them.
