the character of the people the post

finds the English poster cold and
ironical, the French light and sub
tie with yelled reflections, the Aus
TRAN soft and freshly. He observes
stiffness and awkwardness in the
Swiss posters and intricate design in
the German. Italy in her posters
shows herself noisy, with debauches
Of indigo and s%olferino red" while
Spain posts bills with tints of an or
ange omelet. Posters in this coun-
try, says the disooyerer, still re-
fleet the puritan ancestry Of the peo-
pie" which remark seems to indicate
that he has not as yet crossed the At

barley and oats are their great need.
What little rye was raised last year

NATURE OF A S

Distress and Suffering.
would you believe that the IA
ture Of beasts is softened by distress

spent most Of a long life in the Delta,
Of a New Orleans Times-D Democrat
reporter. 1T is a fact. More than
once l have had remarkable in
stances Of the truth of this assertion
brought under my very eyes. BY our
own feelings we know that men, when
a great calamity befalls community,
forget all differences Of race or
creed and go into the rescue bust
ness with a whole soul. just in the
same way animals lose their savage
natures, experience a change Of feel
ing as to other animals and become
softened when brought face to face
with almost inevitable doom. 1t is a
somewhat curious thing, but even
when starvation is one Of the chief
sufferings which beset them they
have been known to refrain from
feeding on weaker animals, which un-
der ordinary circumstances are their
natural prey. Here are some in
stances: In 1882, during a flood Of

 This wonderful new device forces col- iimn of air against the part like the tap ping of a hammer. It has an almost hu- man touch of great delicacy. It also has an alternating action that gives a vibrato- ry effect, shaking the skin up and down from 250 to 10000 times per minute. It also unites the action of cupping or dry suction. The extent and duration of the vacuum is under the control of the oper- ator, who can instantly relieve the pres sure by raising the finger even If the ma chine is going at It's maximum speed.
