CURIOUS sEssEs OF REpTILEs

ence Of Far Distant Wster.
Prof. Werner, Of Vienna, a nat
uralist Of note, has reported tbs
results Of observations be bas
been making for some time on 1hf
senses Of the inferior vertebrates
and he has reached some curious
and Surprising conclusions.
The professor took all possible
precautions not to let the crea
lures know what they were
watched. One general faetis very
evident. that reptiles and am
phibjans are strongly attracted
by water They 20 straight TO
ward it. even when they are at dis
tances SO great that they could
not divine its presence By any 81
the senses known 10 Us. II seems
really that a sense Of which we
have no knowledge informs Them
Of the direction in which water
may BE- found. There seems TO be
a sort Of chemical attraction. says
VI. Werner. But how does this
act, and on what part Of the crea-
fure2 This remains a mystery.
Reptiles also seek the light. but
independently Of heat. They
often uncomfortable and warm
retreats 10 seek the sunlight.
Sight is generally good with them
TX is probably the finest sense that
they possess, but il would still ap-
pear 10 be very limited The cay
mans and the crOcodiles cannot
distinguish a man at distance of
more than six times their length.
according to Werner. In the wa
ter fishes see only at very close
range-abOut half their own
length. This will seem perhaps
unlikely 10 anglers. although some
Of them can cite instances show
ing that fish cannot see far.
Snakes seem TO have a very mod
crate sense Of sight. The boa, for
example, does not see more than
a quarter or a third of its own
length. Different species are lin
tied 10 One-ffth or one-eighth of
their length. Frogs are better off.
They see at Is or % times their
length. Frog catchers know this
from experience. Hearing is much
poorer than sight, if possible.
Most reptiles are .3:;oeaabviiy deaf,
except the caymans and croco-
dies. The boa appears to be abso-
lutely so.

W. S. Lloyd's Success.

w. S. Lloyd, the enterprising
druggist, rather than await the or
binary methods of introduction,
Urged the Or. Howard Co. to Sc
cure a quick sale for their cele-
brated specific for the cure of con-
stipation and dyspepsia by offering
the regular soc bottle at half-price.
TIE wonderful success of this
plan was great surprise even to
w. S. Lloyd and today there are
scores of people here in Mt. Sterl-
ing who are using and pralsing this
remarkable remedy.
So much talk has been caused by
this offer. and SO many new friends
have been made for the specific,
that the DIR. Howard Co. have au-
thorized druggist, w. S. Lloyd, to
continue this special half-price sale
for limited time longer.
In addition to selling soc bot
tie of DIR. Towards specific for Csc,
w. S. Lloyd has SO much faith in
the remedy that he will refund the
money to anyone whom it does not
cure.
When your head aches, your
stomach does not digest food easily
and naturally, when there is con
stipation, specks before the eyes,
tired feeling, giddiness, bad taste
in the mouth, coated tongue, heart
burn, sour stomach, roaring or ring
ing in the ears, melancholy, and
liver troubles, DIR. Towards specific

Restored 70 Her Foster Parents
Was Maude Clarke.

Amid a silence almost painful in
a crowded courthouse, Judge Tur-
pin decided that Maude Clarke, a
pretty four-year.old girl, should be
restored to her foster parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Thomas Clarke, of Gar
rard county.
The story of the child'scareer is
a pathetic one, inneed. Twelve
years ago little Maude Pittman was
left alone in brier patch by her
mother. The cries of the child at
tracted Solomon Taylor, who found
it in a starved and pitiable condi-
ton. The child was kept in the
Taylor family for five years when,
Mrs. Taylor grew i'll and could no
longer care for it. Mr. Taylor
then started out to find new home
for Maude. Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
Clarke. near Berea, agreed to take
the child and rear it. The child
was adopted, and for seven years
has lived happily at the Clarke
home.
About a week ago Humphrey
Pittman, the real father of the girl,
IN company with two men, went to
the Clarke home and by threats Sc
cured the child and brought her to
Richmond. She remained here.
and proceedings for her return
were instituted by Mr.. Clarke.
When the decision was rendered
Maude broke into tears so overjoy-
ed was che. Pittman will be tried
for kidnapping.

Missouri Farmer Who Owns 22-
900 Acres.

Missouri has the distinction of
having within her borders as a
citizen the most extensive individ-
ual farmer in the United States, if
not in the world. He is David
Rankin, OF Tarkio, owner of four
teen ranches. and more than %, 900
acres of as fine black soil as the
sun ever shone on.
Mr.. Rankin is the largest stock
feeder in the world. He buys
more corn than any other farmer
in the United States, and most of
it is fed to stock on his farm. Be-
s.aes ..sas extensive farming opera
tions Mr.. Rankin is interested in
many other enterprises. Each day
he rides over his farms and gives
orders to his foremen. 1t takes
about 700 teams and 220 men to do
his work during the busy months.
The final statements of 1902 show
ed that a total of 1889 head of
cattle had been sold. They brought
$172, 500. The number of hogs
sold was s,249, for which SILL
S46.14 was recovered.
To question of how he made
his start he said:
"When l was married 1 was so
poor my wife and could not even
buy bread board. We managed
and saved what we could. Pros
perity has smiled on us. Having
worked hard a good portion of my
life have also saved where others
would have spent money"

Work Is Given Poverty Stricken
Peasants of Ireland.

Peasants of Ireland.
In various parts of Ireland
there are at the present moment
many undertakings which never
would have been entered upon but
for American money. The latest is
a doll factory situated at a place
called Stewartstown, close to the
banks of the Tough Neagh-the
largest lake in Great Britain and
Ireland. The establishment Of
this factory is due directly to the
enterprise of Mrs. Frances Rid
dell, who, when simple peasant
girl, emigrated to America 30 years
ago. She made money by invest
ment in real estate in the neigh
borhoOd of Chicago, and has now
returned to do something toward
alleyiating the distress of her ma
tive country. With the assistance
of another American-Mr. f. 7.
Wall, of Cincinnati - she has
founded what is known as the Co
operative Home Industry society,
and the manufacture of dolls is the
first item in the programme. Al
ready a good start has been made,
and as many as 60 girls are finding
constant employment. The cap
ital required was not much-some-
thing like $5,000-because all the
materials required can be found in
the immediate locality. Irish
products alone, both in the mod
els and the dressing, are to be
used. 1t is not intended to pro.
duce the stage Irishman or wom-
an, but to give an accurate rep
resentation of the native in A
faithful manner. Mrs. Riddell is
at present combining her efforts to
cultiyating trade in the British
Isles, but she has hopes that in
time she will be able to do a big
business with the United States.
The furnishing Of dolls houses will
occupy her attention later on.
