An Old Hunter's Advice.

Here is the advice an Old hunter
gives to those who may come in I'M
expected contact with bad animals:
IF you are cornered by a snake
stand motiOnless and he will never
bite
IF a vicious dog attacks you show
him a knife or some similar instru-
ment, and he will keep out of reach.
A dog can never learn the deadliness
of a revolver or a gun, but unless he
has the rabies he knows how to re-
spect q knife.
IF a swarm of wild bees attacks you
stand motionless and let out all your
breath. Then only a few of the swarm
will sting"
This advice should be reversed at
| sea. A man who is swimming in shark
| infested waters is safe as long as he
kicks about and makes a great deal of
noise. The shark is too timid to APP
| proach anything that looks as if it
| meant to fight.
what would you do in case you
were cornered by a cinnamon bear?'
some one asked the old hunter.
Say my prayers" he answered la
| conically.

They All Saw 1t Move.

Mrs. Burton, with her husband, Sir
Richard Burton, the famous traveller,
and two ladies, had driven out of
Triest to a village dance and were sit
ting in the carriage listening to the
band. In telling of it she said:
Suddenly, at the top of a roof, l
caught sight of rat, which appeared
to me to be spellbound by the music.
Look" l said. Don't move, but
watch that rat fascinated by the mu-
sic"
So we all sat and watched it and
thought it most interesting that rats
should be susceptible to music like liz
ards and snakes.
We all saw it move. We all saw its
head turn and it's tail move, and we
kept still, not to frighten it away. The
next day, feeling so much interested in
the affair, we sent to inquire about it.
The rat, it turned out, was made of
painted tin and fixed to the top of the
house. So much for imagination.

Taking Desperate Chance.

It is true that many contract colds
and recover from them without taking
any precaution or treatment, and a
knowledge of this fact leads others to
take chances instead of giving their
colds the needed attention. 1t should
be borne in mind that every cold
weakens the lungs, lowers the vitality,
makes the system less able to with
stand each succeeding cold and paves
the way for more serious diseases.

chances when Chamberlain Cough
