history of the city launches one imme

the French people sends one to Paris

Birds Warnings.

Birds have separate notes of warning
TO indicate whether danger is in the
form of hawk of cat or of man. If a
hawk, cat or owl is on the move, the
birds, especially blackbirds, always ut
ter gathering note, constantly repeat
ed, and chickens have special sound
to indicate the presence of a hawk. But
when disturbed by man the blackbirds
have quite different sound of alarm,
and the chickens also. Animals on the
march are usually silent, but the ham
adryad balloons use several words of
command, and the cries of cranes and
geese when flying in ordered 6ocks are
very possibly signals or orders.

The profit of gold mine depends, not
on the amount of rock crushed under the
stamps but upon the amount of gold
which can be extracted from the rock In
similar way the value of the food which
is eaten does not depend on the quantity
which is taken into the stomach but upon
the amount of nourishment extracted from
it by the organs of nutrition and digestion.
When these organs are diseased they fail
to extract the nourishment in sufficient
quantities to supply the needs of the sew
eral organs of the body, and these organs
cannot work without nourishment. The
result is heart trouble, liver trouble, and
many another ailment. Dr. Pierce's Gold
