His Last Hope Realized.

From the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont.j
In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1889, the editor of this paper
was among the many seekers after for.
tune who made the big race one fine
day in April. During his travelling
about and afterwards his camping upon
his claim, he encountered much bad
water, which. together with the severe
heat, gave him very severe dlar-
rhoea which 1t seemed almost impossi-
Bile TO check, and along in June the case
became so bad he expected to die. One
day one OF his neighbors brought him
one small bottle of Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as a
last hope. A big dose was given him
while he was rolling about on the
ground in great agony. and il few
miultes the dose was repeated. The
good effect Of the medicine was soon
noticed and within an hour the patient
was taking his first sound sleep for q
fortnight. That one little bottle worked
a complete cure, and he cannot help but
feel grateful. The season for bowel
disorders being at hand suggests this
item. For sale by The r. 5. Loryea

HIGHWAY Fruit Trees.

It will not do in this country to plant
fruit trees along the public highways,
as is done with great success in many
European countries. The great state
farm Of Hungary distributes $4,000
choice fruit trees without cost to town
shios and communities which will
plant and care for them until bearing
age. The characteristic American boy
would never permit q fruit Of any sort
that can be eaten to reach the age OF
maturity unless q full grown bulldog
was kept chained to each tree.-Farm

PlTH AND POINT.

It may be hard to be good-it is not
hard to be kind.
Genius has always received more ap-
plause than money.
Presumption lies at the bottom Of
much that we call success.
1t requires no strength of mind to be
mean-it does to be generous.
True greatness lies moi; in never fall
ing, but in rising every time we fall.
Keep your business to yourself or
some other fellow will keep it for you.
The public Is baby, depending
largely upon the nature Of the indul-
gence Of its nurse.
The higher balloon rises the small
er it looks, and Is this not true Of many
ambitious members Of society?
Failure in life is not loss Of capital
or the catastrophe Of business ven
ture. Such things are accidents that
may happen to all.-Schoolmaster.

SOME QUEER NOTIONS.
Odd Beliefs About Animals That
Were Held by Our Ancestors.

Odd Beliefs About Animals Ihat
Were Held by Our Ancestors.
Our respected ancestors had some
queer notions in regard to natural his
tory. Old Sir Thomas Browne, in his
Inquiries Into Vulgar and Common
Errors" discusses many Of these. THAT
brock or badger hath the legs on one
side shorter than on the other" he
says, though an opinion perhaps not
very ancient, is yet very general" This
belief was received not only by theo-
rists, but by most oe those who had
daily opportunity to behold and hunt
them; yet Sir Thomas could not ac-
cept this belief, because it seemed "no
easy aGront into reason and generally
repugnant unto the course Of nature"
Wherever he looked he saw that the
limbs Of animals on the opposite sides
Of their bodies were of the same length
and number and that none Of them had
an odd leg. One would think that the
question might have been put beyond
cavil by simply measuring the limbs
of the animal, but perhaps they never
thought Of that.
The worthy knight, however, could
accept the basilisk, though it does not
seem that he ever saw one and did not
question its power to kill by "inficting
its eye" as old DR.. Parr would have
expressed it, upon its enemy. And
why not2 "For If plaques or pestilen-
tial atoms have been conveyed in the
air from different regions, if men at a
distance have infected each other, if
the shadows Of some trees be noxious,
if torpcdoes deliver their opium at O
distance and stupefy beyond them
selves, we cannot reasonably deny" be
says, "that there may proceed from
subtler seeds more agile emanations,
which contemn those laws and invade
at distance unexpected" But there
was a limit to the credulity Of Sir
Thomas, and as for the generation Of
the basilisk, that "it proceedeth from
a cocks egg hatched under toad or a
serpent" he thought it conceit as
monstrous as the brood itself-Forest
and Stream.

INSTANCE Travelled by odors.

AS an illustration Of the distance
odors are carried it is noteworthy that
the fumes and exhalations from the
sulphur springs Of Colorado can be dis
tinguished at distance Of fully twenty
miles. The delicious perfume Of the
forests Of Ceylon is carried by the
wind twenty-five miles out to sea, While
in foggy weather travellers 100 niles
from the land have recognized their
proximity to the coast Of Colombia by
the sweet smell brought them on
breeze from the shore.
