Wonderful Minute Shells.

There is Il sand bank ut COnnemara,
Oh the west coast of Ireland, that is the
Mecca Of Try curiosity seeker who IS
fortunate enough TO know of its exist
ence AS general thing sand banks
are not Il great attraction. but i'll this
particular case the attractive power is
not in the sand itself. but in the mil
lions of extinct miniature shells which
are almost rs numerous as the grains
Of sand with which they are intermin-
:.lcd. The largest of these little won
dcrS is smaller than the smallest pin
head anG some Of them so minute that
they can easily be put through the eye
Cf Il common sewing needle, yet each is
rs perfect rs the pcarly nautilus, the
spider shell. the sea urchin or any other
marine oddity.
They are of all shapes and forms I'M
aginabc. One will have the perfect
outlines Of miniature basket, another
will look like fairy's tobacco box,
while a third needs no effort Of the i'm
agination to give it the form Of bot
tie. The flash shells Of Ceylon and Aus
tralia are the only living representa-
tives Of these genealogical wonders.
NaturaliSts who have examined the
Ceylonese flash shells say that each is
filled with tiny bit Of jeliylike sub
stance, which Of course is the animal
itself, but which is so infnitesfnal that
no distinction can be observed between
head and heart. mouth and stomach.

digestive organs fall to perform
their functions, the strength lets

ease sets up. Kokol Dyspepsia

Some States School Taxes.

One frequently hears it said that the states of the south pay for public schools as much in proportion to the value of their taxable property as the richer states of other sections. In some eases this is true, but in most cases it is not true, as the following figures show: Tennessee pays at the rate of S.461 on each S100 of taxable property: Arkansas at the rate of S.623; Florida at the rate of $.703; Louisiana $.37s; Missouri S.422; Min nesota S.593; Nebraska at the rate of S2.74; Utah at the rate of $l.364: Cali fornia at the rate of S.5sl; Colorado at the rate of Sl.355; Connecticut at the rate of S.429; New York at the rate of $.603; Illinois at the rate of S20S4. There are states in other sec tions that pay for common school ed ucation twice as much in proportion to the value of their taxable property as does any southern state.

\ New Novel Attracting Attention

Lionel Ardon," by Malcolm Dearborn. is new historical novel brought out by Dil- lingham & Co.,, in November last It has many points on which to commend it for it's superiority to the reading public There Is, at present, such deuge of new novels that when one can be picked out whose in terest Is so intense and whose characters are so well drawn like all productions of true merit, it is soon placed in the first rank. At the time of the publication of this vol. tune we had the pleasure of favorably re viewing it, and we are pleased to note the general appreciation of Lionel Ardon" by the American press. The following Is from the Boston Beacon:
 Tn this book the reader renews acquaint- anee with English history by means ot a story dellcately conceived and very inter- estingly told. The historical characters are well drawn and the imaginary ones are true to life past or present 1his Is the first novel to utilize the beautiful face and char aeter of Lady Jane Grey and she makes a very attractive part of the story. Lionel Ardon from boyhood to manhood plays worthily the hero's part. The book Is very strikingly bound in dark blue and gilt with decorative touch by the outlines of the rose and thistle in colors and two inverted swords in white"

Don't Postpone school Building.

The building of roads and bridges may be postponed with only incon- venience and temporary material loss as result; but to postpone the build- ing of good schools brings eternal loss in knowledge, intelligence, culture and the highest interests of life to the boys and girls fast growing through the educable years of childhood and youth to manhood and womanhood. A people may sometimes be justified in postponing the one, never in postpon- ing the other.

While many people have been cured of chronic eatarrh by a single bottle of Peruna. yet. as rule, when the eatarrh becomes thoroughly fixed more than one bottle is necessary to complete a cure. Peruna has cured cases innumer- able of eatarrh of twenty years stand ing. It is the best, if not the only inter- nal remedy for chronic eatarrh in ex- istence.
 But prevention is far better than cure. Every person subject to catching cold should take Peruna at once at the slightest symptom of cold or sore throat at this season of the year and thus pre- vent what is almost certain to end in chronic catarrh

THE season of catching cold is upon

THE season of catching cold is upon ] us. The cough and the sneeze
 and the nasal twang are to be heard on every hand The origin of chronic eatarrh, the most common and dreadful of diseases, is cold.
 This is the way the chronic catarrh generally begins. A person catches cold, which hangs on longer than usual. The cold generally starts in the head and throat. Then follows sensitive ness of the air passages which incline one to catch cold very easily. At last the person has a cold all the while seemingly. more or less discharge from the nose, hawking, splitting. frequent clearing of the throat, nostrils stopped mp, full feeling in the head, and, sore, i1famed throat.
 The best time to treat catarrh is at the very beginning. A bottle of Peruna prop erly used, never fails to cure common cold, thus preventing chronic catarrh.

pelIed tO post notices when read thus:
 : The feeding Of. interfering with. or : moleStdtion of the bear or any other wild animal III the park is absolutely prohibited.
 This sign Was put up because 1t was found that the bears had become all together too impndent, owing to the bad habits into which they had fal- len as q result of being pampered, says the New York Sun.
 Thus it happened many timas last year that big bears frightened new visitors almost into convulsions by ambling eheerfuI1y into their camps. Sometimes they would follow strang- CTS for miles and the poor strangers would race away, yelling, thinking all the time that they were saving their lives from wild beasts, while the wild beasts loped along behind them intent on getting nothing more bloody than d biscuit or a piece of sugar.
 It was not long before the folk in the National park realized that the bears were a great deal better off while they remained in d perfect. ly wild state.
 And then it was found that the human beings in the park would be be better off still; for big black and brown bears, and now and then q grizzly, having acquired taste for white mans food, began to break into the camps and even the hotels at night to steal hams, bread, cake and anything else that was particu- larly tempting.
 The very animals that became the most friendly were the ones that did the most harm. There were three especially-tWo black bears and one brown bear-that became so familiar and loving that they acted as if they were paying board at one of the hotels.
 They would hang around the kit chen and the rear veranda and run after the guests, begging for some thing nice to eat till they had made nuisances of themselves. At last, after they had smashed into hotel pantry, and frightened women and children almost to death, the officials were forced to shoot them.
 Now the superintendent of the park has issued warning. He an nounces that any one who feeds or pets the wild bears will be punished. He says that they are perfectly harm less as long as they are kept in a perfectly wild state and left alone, but when persons trifle with them they lose all fear of human beings and proceed to do much damage to property,
 And every now and then they hurt somebody who thinks that, because they have become familiar, they are not dangerous any more.
