WHAT Is MALGAq'

Malaga is not designed to be a Cure-afl,
assat first might appear. 1t is a purely
vegetable compound, containing the ae-
tive medicinal properties which Nature
has placed in the hands OF the careful
student in the realm of Botanical research.
and is the result of years OF practical ex-
perience in the laboratories OF two OF
the most successful practitioners in the
United States, men who enjoy the fruits
oil an International reputation, well and
nobly earned by their success in combat
ing disease with Natures own remedies.
Malaga is especially prepared tocombat
and destroy the germs of Malaria, Chills.
La Grippe and Fever. 1t acts quickly,
eliminating the disease through the Kid
neys and Liver, healing and purifying
them, and cleaning the blood OF refuse
matter and disease.
Malaga will cure Acute and Chronic Kid
ney and Liver Troubles, Pains in the
Back, Joints and Limbs, Mucous, Blood
or Brick Dust in Urine. 1t strengthens
the Urinary Organs, and makes Thick,
Sluggish and Scanty Urine flow freely
at will.
IL strengthens the Mucous Membranes
that are effected by Catarrh, Colds, etc.,
effecting a radical and quick cure.
Malaga is also composed of slightly bit
ter tonic principles, which make IL an
ideal Tonic and Appetizer, and cure for
Nervousness, Indigestion and stomach
Troubles.
Anyone living in Malarial.s Chills and
Typhoid Districts should always have a
bottle OF Malaga on hand and take tonce
or twice day to prevent contamination
with those diseases which are ever pre-
sent and ready TO attack debilitated
and enfeebled body. Fortiiy yourself
against these attacks by taking Malaga as
directed.

Inc accident happened shortly be-
fore the race was finished. The chal-
lenger grazed against the stern of the
steam yacht Matador losing her bow

cident caused her defeat by the other

There is an agreement of opinion
that the defeat of the challenger by
Shamrock l on tine allowance was en-
tirely due to a weather 1uke, and
gives no reason for reducing the -anql-

merly carried on with the utmost Sc
crecy to prevent the processes from be-
coming known elsewhere. The estab-
lishment was a complete fortress, the
portcullis of which was not raised day
or night, no stranger being permitted
to enter for any purpose whatever.
Every workman. even the chief in
spector, was sworn to silence. This
injunction was formally repeated ev-
cry month to the superior officers en-
ployed, While the workmen had con-
stantly before their eyes in large let
ters the warning motto, "Be Secret Unto
Death" 1t was we'll known that any
person diyulging the process would be
imprisoned for life in the castle OF
Koenigstein. Even the king himself
when he took strangers of distinction
to visit the works was enjoined to Sc
crecy. One of the foremen, however,
escaped and assisted in establishing a
mandatory in Vienna, from which
the secrets spread all over Germany.

Royal Gamblers.

Henry VIII. would gamble away
property and money recklessly, taking
his defeats with bluff good humor. On
one occasion he staked the famous
campanile bell of st. Paul's and lost it
to his adversary, Sir Miles Partridge,
who insisted on his pound Of flesh and
removed the bell. Queen Mary some
times resorted to cards and was seldom
more lucky than her father, losing oc
casionally even her lace caps or colts,
which were worth a good sum. Charles
IL. loved basset and other round games
and would play night after night and
even on a Sunday till daylight, while
singers entertained the company from
q gallery Even the cold William of
Orange was. a gambler and liked moth
ing better than to spend the day racing
and the night playing cards.
George III. detested cards and disap-
proved of playing for money, an aver
sion and opinion in nowise shared by
his son and successor who is said to
have lost more than 100000 before he
attained his majority.

A DRAMATIC LAWYER.
Effective Climax That Resulted In
Setting a Murderer Free.

Effective Climax That Resulted In
Setting a Murderer Free.
Lachaud, the great French advocate,
was renowned for deliberate but telling
dramatic improvisations, as it were,
upon the original theme.
At one time, for instance, he was de-
sending a murderer on Dec. "a. All
day long he harassed witnesses, re-
sailing them, causing delay after de-
say before getting his final address to
Che jury. 1t was we'll on in the even

appeals for the prisoner, the slow, sol

Bealed for the midnight mass-the first
mass of Christmas morning. Lachaud
stopped as if overwhelmed by a sud-
den warning.
"Do you hear?' he said solemnly
after moments silence, and his man
ner conveyed that all his own glib
eloquence had been shattered by the

pitiable endeavors Which of us would
dare now, on this great day of mercy
and forgiveness, to condemn another
human being and, above al, to con-
denim one whose culpability is more
than doubtfulY'
The prisoner was acquitted without
the least difficulty, though his death
sentence ten minutes before had been
regarded as certain. The actual sound
of the pealing bells had been too much
for nerves already strained to snap
ping point by the fatigue of a long
days sitting.
But nobody guessed, except the few
who knew Lachaud intimately, that
he had been maneuvering from the
time the court opened in the morning
TO get that one stirring effect. The
prisoner was a dead man without it
and saved as certainly If it could be
brought off uccessfully.-Kansas City

Mr.. Frog has an enormous mouth for
his size, and if we were to put finger
inside it we would find that he has a
row of teeth in the upper jaw and that
his soft white tongue, unlike our own,
is attached in front and is free behind.
When he wishes to catch any insect he
throws out the free end of the tongue,
then draws it in so rapidly that it is
difficult to see whether he has been
successful or not. AS the tongue is
coated with gummy fluid, the insect
sticks to it and is carried back into the
mouth, which closes upon it like the
door Of a tomb. Frogs, however, are
rot limited to one mode of feeding
They often leap open mouthed upon
larger prey, which includes besides in
sects small fish, mice, small ducklings,
polliwogs and tiny frogs. = Womans

Cockfighting In England.

For centuries cockfghting was en-
couraged in English schools. Fitzste-
phen in the twelfth century mentions
it as an amusement of Londoners and
that yearly at Shrovetide the boys of
every school brought cocks to their
schoolmasters, and all the forenoon
was spent in school witnessing these
birds fight. AS late as 1890 the in
come of the schoolmaster of Apple
cross, in Ross-shire, was drawn partial
ly from cockfght dues. Down to 1915
at least there was an annual exhibition
of cockfghting at the Manchester gram
mar school.
