RARE LUXURY or THE TABLE.
Bird That Lives ON Poisonous In
sects Is a Delicate Morsel.

MIRA 1nA0 AIVGb OA OABOhOAhS An
sects Is a Delicate MorseI.
''You would scarcely suppose" said ex-
Mayor Frank Holland of Dallas, that a
bird that fattened itself on an insect
which will blister your flesh almost as
quickly as the burning head of a parlor
match would be such a table luxury, but
there is such bird, and compared with
it your woodcock on toast is common
place. Few persons in the north ever
heard of this bird, / guess, much less
ever tasted one, but every one knows
Spanish fly.
'The bird is called the papabote, and
folk who profess to be sharp on such
things say it belongs to the plover fami-
". 1t is about the size of the woodcock,
with sober gray plumage and short,
hard bill. The coming Of the Spanish
fly upon the foliage in the localities it
frequents is sudden and mysterious. No
one knows whence it comes or whittier 1t
goes. 1t disappears as mysteriously as it
comes. 1t is a most destructive insect,
coming in countless myriads, and eats
ravenously of growing things. But the
papabote comes with it, stays until the
fly disappears and consumes millions Of
the pest The birds grow so fat on this
corrosive insect that they become literal
" balls covered with feathers. When
they fall before the hunter, they burst
open like overripe fruit.
'"The hunter who goes out with dog
and gun expecting to fill his bag with
papabotes after the methods of the sci
enti6c hunter will return without any.
The papabote is the shyest of birds and
can be approached with gunshot in only
one way, for, unlike all known birds, it
will not crouch to the dog. 1t is heavy
of wing, keen of sight and hearing and
rises long before the hunter is in range,
resembling in this respect your common
meadow lark. 1t can be shot in no real
ly sportsmanlike way and only by using
a horse and wagon. The bird will per-
nit a horse to walk quite close to it,
and the hunters take advantage Of this
and in open buggies and spring wagons
ride about among the feeding grounds
and drop the birds as they rise on every
side in easy range.
"The papabote is considered SO much
of a delicacy in Texas and Louisiana
that small armies of men and boys make
it highly profitable shooting the birds
for market during its season. There is
not a case on record, so it is asserted, of
a person once eating of the Spanish fly
fattened papabote who did not have an
unconquerable desire for more. New
York Press.

Took No Risks.

An American tourist doing Scotland
put up one night at an old fashioned inn
a few miles from Aberdeen. During the
night he was awakened by the entrance
into his bedroom of figure dressed in
white, which walked into the room and
then out.
In the morning, when paying his bill,
he remarked to the innkeeper:
II guess you Scotch people make game
OF us Americans with your talk of haunt
ed houses. Now, tell me who 1t was that
walked into my bedroom during the
night"
.'Weel, sir, since we've asked" replied
the cautious Scot, sit wis me- The last
American wha slept In my hoose walked
on wi a. the silver, an didna care tae
rim ony risks. - London Answers.

STRUCK DOWN.
slain in the Hour of Success.

The Indian who trai1ed the hunter
silently and secretly through the woods,
often played with his victim as a cat
plays with mouse. Just in the moment
of the hunters success, the blow fell
silent, sudden, swift.
There are certain forms of disease
which seem inhumanly malevolent.
Like the Indian they seem to play with
the victim, until some day when he has
reached the height of success and is
thinking to wake life easy" disease
strikes him down, perhaps never to rise
again, or mayhap to drag out the re-
iainder of existence in physical pain
and privation.
The best example of such malevolent
disease is found in dyspepsia and allied
forms of vstomach trouble Not long

RIGHT UP TO DATE.
(Benson's Plaster Is Pains Mastsr.)

These are days of records and of the beat
ing of records. Benson's Porous Plaster, for
quickness of action and thoroughness of
cure, has no records to beat except its own.
Benson's Plaster, always the best, always
the leader, is to-day better than e0er. 1t
sticks to the skin but never sticks in its
tracks. It marches on.
The people not only want to be cured
but cured Quickly-and Benson's Plaster
does it. Coughs, colds, lumbago, asthma,
bronchitis, liver and kidney complaints,
and other ills approachable by an external
remedy, yield to Benson's as ice does to heat.
Neither Belladonna, Strengthening or
Capsicum plasters are to be compared with
Benson's People who have once tested
the merits of Benson's Plaster have no use
for any other external remedy.
More than 5000 physicians and drug
gists (and a thousand times as many nom
professional persons) have called Benson's
Plasters one of the few @ home remedies
that can be trusted.
Fifty-fve highest awards have been made
to it in competition with the best known
plasters of Europe and America. Better
proof of its merits is uncomfortable. Be
sure to get the genuine.

had an experience once that | hardly
know how to account for. l may say in
advance that / don't believe in any OF
the business that cannot be demonstrated
scientifically. One day not great while
after the present elevator to the house
press gallery had been put in my mother
sent for me to stop at her house on my
way down town, as she had something
particular to see me about. / went, and
she asked me if there wasn't new ele-
yator to the press gallery. l told her
one had been put in three or four months
before that. She said that was it and
that / must not ride in it, for she had
dreamed the night before that had been
crushed to death in it. laughed at her.
of course, and went on my way.
'sDown on F street / met an aunt who
told me she had something odd to tell me.
She said she had been the day before
with niece of her husband to see for
tune teller, as the niece had taken a
fancy to see one of those fakirs. The
fortune teller, however, instead of telling
the niece anything had directed her re-
marks to her Tiny aunt and had told her
that she had a relative, young man,
whom she should warn, as he would be
crushed to death in an elevator. That
was rather a jar to me, as was her on
ly young man relative and as | had so
shortly before been warned by her moth
er. However, laughed at her also and
went on my way to the capitol
81 went about the committee rooms
awhile and at last, quite forgetful of my
late warnings, went to the elevator to &c
up to the gallery. The elevator man, an
old fellow whom / had known for some
time, was in the cage when | got there.
and before opening it he talked to me
through the bars.
"T don't know said he, whether
ought to let you come in here or not
"'Why notY l inquired, laughing.
Because said he as serious as could
be, 4 dreamed last night that / had run
the elevator up too high and that as you
started to get in you slipped some way
under it, and when | got down to you at
the bottom of the shaft you were smash
ed to death
''This looked like the fatal three warn
ings,' and / confess / had few doubts
myself, but | had some nerve left, and
jollied him on his notion and got in. On
my way up told him what my mother
and my aunt had told me, and the old
fellow was so scared that he hardly
knew what to do, but / got through all
right, and up to date have not been
crushed in that elevator or any other,
but of course that's no sign l won't be-
and if / ever am the cranks will be sure

wouldn't ride in that elevator for all
kinds of money, and still they may fall
down stairs at any moment and break
their necks. Washington Star.

of digestion and nutrition are diseased,
the nutritive properties are not extracted
from food the blood becomes poor, the
body lacks adequate nourishment and
the flesh vfalls away" The weakness
consequent on this loss of nutrition will
generally find its expression in some one
organ which has been longest starved.
Thus as starvation causes weakness,
when the nutrition falls short of the

expression of that weakness in some. one
organ-lungs liver, heart, kidneys, or
