AFRICAN WOLVES.

They Are Very FerOciOus, and Even
the Lions Fear Them.
The African wolves, when hunting in
packs, are very formidable, and NJ.
Foa, the great French explorer, says:
Experience has shown me that they at
tack not only all animals Of medium
size, but also the lion itself. They wage
terrible battles, in which the lion sue
cumbs to numbers. though not without
having ripped open some Of the enemy.
But the survivors in their turn soon
tear it. Consequently the large, raven
GUS beast has salutary terror Of them.
In this connection he relates story of
how his servant once scared away
some lions who had surrounded them
in the darkness away from camp.
The night was as black as pitch, and
we did not distinguish the trees until
upon them. Lions prowled around us,
and one Of them roared within alarm
ing proximity; but we could not see
them; we heard them walking in the
leaves on all sides. Reaching the tree,
we found one Of our companions with
the rifle cooked, another trying to re-
light a half extinguished torch. Still
the lions walked. We guessed them
coming and going in the darkness.
At that moment Tambarika whisper
ed to us the advice to initiate the pun
pis (wolves) in the distance. So we i'm
mediately began barking and shouting
"Hu, hu, huw in an undertone, as
though the pack was still at distance,
while the man at the camp made the
same well initiated cry. The effect was
instantaneous. There was a rapid gal
lop in the dry leaves; the lions decamp-
ed. The more or less well initiated ap-
proach Of pack Of wolves rid us Of
them for the whole night We returned
to the camp with our honey, and moth
ing troubled our tranquility until
morning.

THE LAND OF GRAVES.

Ancient EgyDt2Rns Believed In Con.
slant Reminders of Death.
To the Egyptian death was but the
beginning of career Of adventures
and experiences compared with which
the most vivid emotions Of this life
were tame. He lived with the fear OF
death before his eyes. Everything
around him reminded him of that
dreadful initiation into the mysteries
of the tremendous after life for which
his present existence was but q
preparation. His cemeteries were not
hidden away in remote suburbs; his
dead were not covered with mere
grassy mounds or slab Of stone. The
whole land was his graveyard; it's
whole art was Of the mortuary. "Are
there no graves in Egypt that thou
has brought us into the wilderness to
die? asked the Israelites in derision,
and we may believe that Moses WING
ed at the sarcasm.
Egypt is the land Of graves, and the
whole energy of the people, that could
be spared from keeping life together.
was devoted to death. The mightiest
tombs in the world-the pyramids
were raised upon the deaths Of multi
tudes of toiling slaves. The hills were
honeycombed passages and galleries,
chambers, pits, all painfully excaVated
in honor of the illustrious dead, and
sculptured and painted with elaborate
skill to make them fit habitations for
his ghost.
wherever he looked the Egyptian
beheld preparations for the great turn
ing point of existence. The mason
was s9uaring blocks for the tomb
chamber; the potter nodded images
of the gods, or bowls and jars, to be
placed in the grave for the protection
or refreshment Of the Ia, exhausted
with the ordeals of the under world;
the sculptor and painter were at work
upon the walls of the funeral cham
Der, illustrating the scenes through
which the ghost was to pass, or de-
picting the Industrious life Of the de-
parted.
The very temples which cluster along
the levels beside the Nile were, In q
sense, but vestibules to the tombs In
the hills behind. The sacred lake, now
the weedy, picturesque haunt OF water
fowl, was then the scene Of solemn
ferryings Of the dead. The temple
walls were covered with the terrors
of the judgment to come. The houses
Of the living, indeed, were built Of per-
ishing mud, but the homes Of the dead
and the shrines where supplication
was made to the gods who ruled their
fate were made to last forever. On
these all the strength, the science and
the artistic skill of the ancient Egyp-
tians were cheerfully lavished.-Sat-

The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is catarrh. Halls
Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known
to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is
taken internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative powers,
that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list Of

He Who Requires the Constant Care
of an Attendant.
A crowded car of an up town bound
Lexington avenue elevated train,
Wednesday afternoon, about 3 o'clock,
was deeply interested in couple that
entered 1t at Reid avenue station. The
man was so nervous that he could
scarcely stand, and he fairly trembled
as his wife supported him to seat.
AS soon as he reached it squarely, his
eyes closed, and he appeared to be in

She sat stern and erect, and looked as
though life to her was pretty tough
experience. The passengers guessed
that she was leading her nervous hus-
band home from work, but how on
earth he ever used the tools she carried
was a puzzle. If you look about you
sharply these days it is no uncommon
sight to see. women careworn of coun-
tenance leading along faded men. The
other morning a silent woman walked
into the barber shop on Evergreen ave-
nue., near Cooper street, followed by
her husband, pale faced, thin individ-
ual, who acted as though he was walk
ing on air. He fell into chair, and the
barber rapidly shaved him, while the
woman sat in a corner and waited I'M
til the process was complete. Then she
handed over the price of shave, with
no tip, and walked out, followed by her
broken down better half.
,"Oh, that's nothing" said the barber,
as he looked after the queer couple. Il
have had numbers of men come to my
place like that. Some of them are so
COMPOUNDED nervous that before you
get half finished they want to jump
from the chair. I've got six outside
customers whom I shave at their
homes, and two Of them shave in two
days; one side today, the next side to-
morrow, because of their excessive eX-
citability. When I was over in the
Produce Exchange building, had men
jump from my chair and run out Of the
shop because they couldn't sit still long
enough to be shaved" -Brooklyn

A well known Mississippi farmer

turned, and soon had the eyes Of every
one in the dining hall fastened on him.
The more he twisted and screwed his
face the hotter the steak in his mouth
got. He didn't know what was the
matter. He could stand it no longer
and reaching up his hand he jerked out
the burning bite, threw it on the floor

In March, 1915, the Paris MonSteur
announced the expected return Of EN-
peror Napoleon from Elba. The first
announcement Of the Moniteur was
far from polite, but as the little Cor
sican approached Paris a gradual
change took place in its tone:
1.-THE cannibal has left his den."
"The Corsican wolf has landed in
the bay Of San JUAN"
''The tiger has arrived at Gay"
''The wretch spent the night at
Grenoble."
''The tyrant has arrived at Lyons"
"The usurper has been seen within
30 miles of Paris.'
"Bonaparte is advancing with great
rapidity, but he will not put his foot
inside the walls Of Paris"
Tomorrow Napoleon will be at our
gates"
1.-THE emperor has arrived at Fon-
tainebleau."
"His imperial majesty Napoleon en-
tered Paris yesterday surrounded by
his loyal subjects"

The Murray Cure is not a gold cure.
There is no mysterious humbug
about this treatment, nothing that the
common sense of an average man will
not appreciate and approve.
At one time during last month the
Minneapolis Murray Cure Institute
had twenty-eight patients under treat

it means that in twenty.eight homes

THE EXPERT BUTCHER.

One of His Accomplishments the
Ability to Cut on the Right Weight.
1t is his business, Of course, and he
Becomes expert at it, as any man
might in any work, but the customer
who pays any attention to it at all is
sure to be interested nevertheless In
the accuracy with which the butcher
cuts off just the required amount Of
meat. Whether it is two pounds Of
steak, or four pounds Of chops, or six
pounds Of corned beef, it's all the same
to him. He cuts without long dwelling
upon where to set the knifes. He
slices away sort Of casuallike and
plies the saw and lays the meat on
the scales, and it does not weigh more
than a quarter or a half pound from
the weight required on even the
heaviest pieces, and on the lighter
pieces he comes within an ounce or
two or hits it right on the nail.
A man, for instance, goes into q
butcher shop and asks for three and q
half or four pounds of, say, corned
beef. The butcher gets big piece
out Of the pickle, lays it on a block
and picks up a knife, and, without the
slightest hesitation, with one strong,
smooth sweep cuts off a piece, which
he lays on the scales. 1t weighs three
pounds and three-quarters. 1t is in
weight exactly midway between the
limits set.
The expert butcher gets his ability
to do this, naturally enough, from
good judgment, to start with, backed
up by long experience, but when he
cuts things as close as this even the
customer familiar with his skill looks
upon him as a wizard New York
Sun.

An Easily Prepared Spray.

A Kitsap County horticulturis tree
ommends the following formula, as
giving the best results for spraying in
the dormant season. It can be made
strong by the addition of lye or sal
soda, without any danger to the trees.
Lime so pounds, sulphur % pounds.
salt Is pounds; water to make loo
gallons. The State Board of Horti-
culture recommends the addition of 3
pounds of concentrated lye.
The spray is made in the following
manner: Take Is pounds of lime and
the 25 pounds of sulphur and boil with
20 gallons of water for about two
hours, or until the sulphur lsthorough-
" dissolved and the mixture of a deep
amber color. While boiling the liquid
must be stirred often. Next place in a
barrel the rest of the lime and pour
enough hot water over it to thorough
ly slack it, and while it is still boiling
add the salt and stir until thoroughly
dissolved. Then add this to the lime
and sulphur solution in the boiler and
boil for another half hour. Sufficient
water to make 100 gallons should then
be added, keeping the mixture well
stirred meanwhile.
AS the solution must be we'll stirred
when spraying, it is best to use pump
with an agitator.
When spraying be sure to wet the
tree all around and especially the end
of the small limbs.

berry bushes and find it very efficient.

Lye Wash Effective.

In his experience with can of con-
cen trated lye american brandy to five
gallons water, J. III. Kirkpatrick. Gus
ter, Wash, says it has been very salts
factory. Add little lime andd it will
enable the operator to see when all the
limbs are sprayed. He says:
If the caterpillar eggs are we'll spray
ed with it, the rings will loosen from
the limb while you are spraying the tree.
The ring will look as though the worms
were hatched and gone. This wash is
sure death to all bark lice eggs.
One good spraying with lye will
make your old moss-covered trees have
a rich, dark. glossy color. The instant
the I've comes in contact with the yel-
low moss the moss turns dark red.
The change on the gray moss is not
marked; but rest easy, for q few good
rains will wash your trees nicely.
A pound of lye to ten gallons OF
water is strong enough for trees three
years or younger. A pound to i've gal
Ions of water will clean your old
trees.
If youdoubt the efficacy OF this wish,
make little and try it on few limbs
now and be convince.
The meritof this wash are l. 1t

II is easily applied. 4. Il does its
work in a few minutes, and is entirely
safe for the trees.
