The Ring-Hala.

The ring-hal does not disdain an IN
sect diet. Beetles, grasshoppers, To-
Gusts and termites are all readily de-
voured, as well as ticks and bots
picked from the hides of cattle. ]
have sometimes amused myself by
watching the bold yet cautious and
gentle manner in which one of these
ravens will approach a reclining OK,
and, after preliminary course OF
soothing caresses, accompanied by a
soft "cawing" note, insert his head in
to the ear and dexterously extract the
ticks. These birds always seem to
have good understanding with the
older and more experienced oxen, who
will. at hint from one Of them, lie
down and place themselves In the most
favorable position for the extraction of
their parasites.-"The Birds OF South
Africa" by A. C. Stark.

Celebration of the Holy BLOOD.

Prince Albert of Belgium has noti-
fed the ecclesiastical authorities Of
Bruges that he will be present at the
celebration Of the 750th anniv0S sary Of
the bringing of Bruges of s3e holy
blood. Every year the famous process
sion of the holy blood through the
streets Of Bruges is a sight that brings
travellers and pilgrims from far and
near. The richness and splendor o..
this years pageant will rival the dis
play OF any religious ceremony that
has taken place in western Europe for
many a long year. Cardinals, bish-
ops and ecclesiastical delegates from
far and wide will assemble on this oc-
casion. A magnificent historical cor
tege will form part of the general
pageant, in which the nobility Of
Bruges will take part.

DUNNS WEEKLY REPORT.
The Increase Exports is Twice as
Large as Total Of Imports.
PRICES CUT---TRADE LARGER,

New York, May THE state of
business has been represented to fit,
and used to support, several theories
already. The simple fact is that some
reaction from the abnormal excite
ment and expansion and rise of prices
last year was necessary to continued
prosperity. Its duration may there
fore be expected to depend upon the
promptness with which production and
prices adjust themselves to actual de-
mands Much progress in that adjust
ment has been made during the past
week, with increased activity already
resulting. Strikes springing from dis
putes about the terms of work and
wages for the coming year have also
made distinct progress toward settle
ment. The reduction in prices OF iron
and steel and their products has gone
far enough to bring out much new
business. At the end of last week cut
nails were reduced As cents per keg and
in plates and bars somewhat lower
prices have been reported Prices for
sheets have not yet been named, but
in pipes and tubes there is some
yielding, with larger business in fence
and other wire since the reduction.
The close of the wool year has come
without the scarcity which some ex-
pected. Until prospects for the new
crop of cotton are more settled, the
pressure of English spinners for sup
plies tends strongly to hold up prices
here, though foreign mill stocks are
now heavy.
All exports from New York in four
weeks have been 1914 per cent or over
S11,00O,O0 larger than last year, and
with the gain of $4,000, 900 in cotton
from other ports, the months aggre-
gate for merchandise should rise above
hundred millions. Imports show a
small gain, but will hardly exceed
seventy millions.
Failures for the week have been 200
in the United States, against 15s last
year, and 81 in Can ada, against 20 last
wear.

London, May 5.-It is announced
that the British have captured Bland
fort; dispatch from that place says it
was captured by a combined movement
of Colonel fuckers and General Pole
Carew's divisions on the east and CEN
ter and General Hutton's mounted
infantry on the west. The British
surprised the Beers, who retreated
hastily. Four thousand of the enemy
moved here in order to oppose our adj
vance. Colonel fuckers artillery had
a sharp duel with the enemy's guns
and put two of them out of action.

Caterp,llars And Canker Worms.

Kansas City, May 5.-Tent caterpil-
lars and cankeeir worms have begun their
work of infesting orchards early this
season, and the prospects of record
breaking apple crop are in doubt al
ready because of the depredations of
these pests. Orchards in both Missouri
and Kansas which have not been
sprayed this season are suffering more
or less from the work of these insects.
Canker worms have accomplished the
most destruction SO far this season,
but the caterpillars are almost as bad
in many sections.

Topeka, May 4.-The railroads have
entered compact not to issue any free
transportation to delegates to any of
the state political conventions this
year. This hits all parties-Republi-
can, Democratic and Populist. 1t will
no doubt be the means of keeping down
the attendance at the various gather
ings. A delegate to the state conven-
ton of either political party has come
to regard it as an absolute necessity
for the railroads to haul him free.

Bile IN The BLOOD

No matter how pleasant youf surroundings,
health, good health, is the foundation for en-

pains than all other diseases together, and when
you get good dose of bilious bile coursing
through the blood lfe's hell on earth. Millions
Of people are doetoring for chronic ailments that
started with bad bowels, and they will never
get better till the bowels are right. You know
how it is-you neg1ect-get irregular-first
suffer with slight headaehe-bad taste in the
mouth mornings, and general "all gone" feeling
during the day-keep on going from bad to
worse until the suffering becomes awful life
loses its charms, and there is many a one that
has been driven to suicidal relief. Educate your
bowels with CASCARETS. Don't neglect the
slightest irregularity. See that you have one
