The question is often asked, says the
Lancet. without a satisfactory answer
being supplied, Why do Holsters and
certain shrimps and prawns turn red
on boiling? One reason may be that
the black pigment of the lobster is an
iron compound in the lower state of
oxidation, which boiling oXidizes to
the higher state. Red human hair is
said to owe it's brilliance to iron exist
ing in the higher oXidized state, and
by means of reducing agents. such as
pyrogallic acid or nutgall, the color
may be modified. In short, oxygen is
a great painter and probably accounts

How Hens Isoost.

The mechanism of the leg and foot of
q chicken or other bird that roosts on
q limb Is marvel Of design. 1t often
seems strange that bird will sit on a
roost and sleep all night without fall
ing off. but the explanation is perfectly
simple. The tendon Of the leg Of a
bird that roosts is so arranged that
when the leg is bent at the knee the
claws are bound to contract and thus
hold with sort Of death grip the limb
round which they are placed. Put a
chickens feet on your wrist and then
make the bird sit down and you will
have practical illustration on your
skin that you will remember for some
time. By this singular arrangement,
seen only in such birds as roost. they
will rest comfortably and never think
of holding on, for it is impossible for
them to let go till they stand up.

HIS Estimate of FrouGc.

Hannis Taylor, in his argument be-
fore the Alaskan boundary commits
sion, told story of Edward A. Free
man, the English historian. whom he
knew well. On one occasion, when
dining with him at a hotel in st. Louis,
Mr.. Taylor innocently asked him, Mr..
Freeman, what is your estimate of
Froude as historian?" Said Mr.. Tay-
lor: He looked at me in Il strange kind
of way. and then he replied: 4 will
tell you what | think about Froude. If
ever you read anything he writes read
it with care. Read it over and over
again and fix it in your mind so that
you will never forget it. for then you
will know one thing for certain, and
that is that by no possibility did it
ever happen in that way

Walt Whitman as a Journalist.
Walt Whitman was not much OF q
journalist. He had too much repose.
his employers called it laziness: He
was concerned with permanences. The
nearer to nature, the more repose.
Trees and hills do not dance except
for urging. Whitman, elemental. strong,
placid, bovine, did not urge them!
In the Brooklyn Eagle. office Whit
man is clearer memory than in the
office of it's contemporary. Yet it is
oddly hard to secure facts. There is a
general and joking reference to his
serenity as idleness. He was not a
typical newspaper man, for he was not
to be pressed or hurried, and in our
day Of precision and speed he would
have been impossible. He never felt
that stress from which the veriest bo-
hemian suffers. He did not want mon
ey enough to work hard for it. One of
the coterie of writer's and actors which
used to squander it's much wit and lit
tie wealth at Pfaff's tells me that of
the whole party Whitman was the only
one who was never tipsy and never
broke" He always had market
somewhere for fugitive writings. Edi-
tors were friendly to him. He drank
his beer with the rest but its effect
was to make him thoughtful, even sad,
while the others were merry. Accord
ing to that narrator, he was an easy
borrower, though it does not appear
that he asked for large amounts or
made needless delays in his repay
ments.-Charles NJ. Skinner in Allan
tic.

ORDER THEM CLOSED.

Village Board Of Countenay, stutsman
County, Decides that Blind Pigs
Must Go.
Things have evidently been running
quite wide open in Courtenay for some
time for at recent meeting Of the vii
lage board it was decided by the board
of trustees latter duly considering it's
powers" that is has no power to
regulate the sale of liquor but further
believes that it is the desire of the
people that said board take some &C.
ton in the matter"
notice be hereby given to all persons
now engaged in the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors contrary to law, or who
may hereafter engage in such occupa-
ton, that the laws of the state of
North Dakota will hereafter be en-
forced regulating the same within the
corporate limits, and the board re-
specially requests that all persons so
engaged cease of their own accord.
This is the last notice and is intended
as a fair and firm reminder"
The board conceded that ut is
generally known that there are several
"blind pigs" running in the village
and the citizens have expected some
action by the board Of trustees re.
gulating the same therefore they
took above action, the majority of the
business men and resident property
owners having pledged themselves to
use "all honorable means to enforce
the law regulating the sale of liquor
and games of chance inside of Court
enay after August 5th."

A NEW PRINCIPLE IN MEDICAL
SCIENCE.

For years it has been the practice of med.
III men to treat patients suffering from piles
J local, external applications. These treat
ments give but temporary relief, but have
never affected a positive cure.
After months of research and study, &C.
companied by actual experience with various
patients, DR.. C. a. Perrin arrived at posi-
tive conclusion as to the exact action of the
various parts of the bowel system, under
different conditions, and when subjected to
various prescriptions.
He finally prepared that wonderful inter-
nal remedy known as DR.. PERKINS, PILE
SPECIFIC, which is put up in bottles, retail
ing at all reliable drug stores for $1.0O each.
This internal remedy has been on the mar
ket for the past ten years, and in all of that
time there has been but three cases where a
positive cure has not been effected.
Or. PERKINS, Pile Specific is sold under q
positive guarantee by the druggist making
the sale, 10 refund the full purchase pnce,
providing the remedy fails to cure. This is
the absolute proof of its merit. ANY man
or woman who suffers from blind, bleeding,
itching or internal piles can try this internal
remedy with the absolute certainty that it
will cost nothing unless it cures. Here is
what one sufferer says of this wonderful
remedy:
DR.. c. A. Perrin. Helena, Mont-I wish to thanl.

TRADE CONDITIONS.

 Improvements.

R. c. Dun & Go. Report Decided Crop
 Improvements.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 2T.-R. c. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
 Trade has improved somewhat, chief ly because of better crop prospects and the fact that last weeks variations ip prices of steel products failed to de- moralize that industry The industrial atmosphere is still disturbed by labor controversies, however, and it will be impossible to fully restore national prosperity until the proportion of vol untarily unemployed wage earners is greatly reduced. Dispatches from lead- ing cities indicate irregular conditions but there is increasing confidence in the future. Prospects are considered bright on the Pacific coast, because of the high prices paid for farm products; retail trade is sluggish at Cincinnati. but wholesale business Is active in fall and winter fabrics; Boston reports cur rent trade quiet, yet there is encours agement regarding the future; jobbing trade at Baltimore Is active, although collections are slow; Pittsburg reports a better demand from agricultural cen ters than manufacturing districts, and few window glass factories will open on Sept. |; lumber dealers and import CTS of chemicals for use in the textile industry at Philadelphia have large or ders on hand; reasonable weather stim- ulates retail trade at Chicago, and in- terior buyers place large orders in staple lines.
 Liabilities of commercial failures thus far reported for August aggregate $5,379,7 761, of which $2,490,5S7 were in manufacturing, $2,496g207 in trading and $392,967 in other commercial lines. Failures this week numbered 205 in the United States against 176 last year, and in Canada 90 compared with 33 a year ago.

BEHIND THE SCENES
The Men Who Make the Stage Pre-
 sentable for the Play.

The Men Who Make the Stage Pre-,
 sentable for the Play.
 Tn the Theater Magazine, Wells Hawks gives an interesting account of the men behind the curtain. Civ ing an instance of the ingenuity of the stage carpenter, he says:
 Several seasons ago all extrava- ganza company, carrying an elaborate scenic equipment arrived at thea ter to play a weeks engagement After everything had been hauled from the cars to the playhouse, 1t was found, amid great dismay, that the principal effect, a waterfall, had been left behind. Everybody was worried except the stage carpenter He was the responsible party, and he dismissed the matter with the com mand, Leave it to me- Then he went to work. From a nearby gro- cery he secured a half dozen empty soap boxes. These he put together in the center of the stage between the painted rock pieces, Next he searched the cellar and finding a lot of old tin that had been torn from the roof during storm, he brought this to the stage. Deftly, and with an eye to the realistic, he covered InG pOXGS WILL lIlG LllS LN45LlLlA olAA jamming 1t in and out to give it jagged effect. Then the property man arrived with some green boughs and laid these about the boxes and tin, while the engineer connected hose to a fire line pipe so that the water would play over the rocks. At night they turned the water on; 1t dashed down over the tin, calcium was turned on the homemade cas- cade, and the result was so effective that the audience applauded the wat erfall before it would allow the chor- us to sing.
 "The stage electrician, too, is all important. A prominent producer has often remarked: T don't care about the size of your stage, let me csc your switchboard To-day night can be done on the stage without electricity ,and this condition has made the electrician very important fac- tor. He must make the light as well as the shadows, and while doing this on the stage, he must also control his house lights accordingly. Every thing is controlled from his board and here he works his lights, follow ing the VP es and cues as close as the actor Tn many theaters the old title of 'gasman' still clings to the electrician, and one wonders now they ever do anything with gas. All of which make appropriate the story l of the boy who was to work the dawn of creation effect in 1 spectacle where the old devices were still in use. The scene, a clum- silly painted drop, represented the world hurled into space. The stage was half dark. At the line, And the Lord said, let there be light the boy was to flash blaze of white | light across the stage. But 1t hap pened to be a new boy. He stood in | the wings holding the end of the ly- copodium pipe in his lips. At the 1 cue he was to blow the powder ] through the flaming alcohol and make the fash. The line was spoken. Darkness still encompassed the earth. The actor spoke the line again-then from the wings came a mighty cough Ing. The boy had blown the pow l der inwardly. The 'gasman, all Tn l a rage, rushed to the stage manager and exclaimed: That darned fool has I swallowed the lightning.

MAFIA'S VENGEANCE
"Black Hand" Struck a Blow
 at Athens, Pa.
ONE OF THE VICTIMS MAY DIE
Two Men In Packer Hospital as the Result of a Murderous Attack by Italians Said 10 Re of the
 MysteriOus Band

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Aug. 27.-The "Black .Hand' of the Mafia society struck a blow of vengeance in Athens, Pa., last night, and two men are lying in the Robert Packer hospital at Sayre as result of that mysterious band of Italian bandits, The men who were at tackled are Dominica Mostello and Giu scope Scirona, Italians. Some time ago Mostello informed the Lehigh Valley railroad detectives of the identity Of the three members of the Mafia gang who held up large number of Italians at Lake Carey and levied tribute on them. The members of the "Black Hand" were arrested, but it was i'm and all the other Italians were afraid to testify against them in open court, Soon afterward two of the three men robbed Mostello of $1oo.
 As darkness came on one of the three, said to be member of the Mafia band of New York, leading some re- cruits made from the Athens Italian colony, attacked Mostello and Scirona and they secured considerable money from Mosteilo and $75 from Scirona.
 Then the leader of the band deliber- ately shot Mostello twice and stabbed him several times with stiletto. Sci roma WAS shot through the face and two teeth knocked out and the base of his tongue injured.
 It is probable that Mostello's injuries will prove fatal, Immediately after the shooting this story was procured through an interpreter, but none of the Italians will tell anything of the mys- terious affair, and as a result the police are unable to make arrests.
