Rayonot a French Invention.

1t is not generally known that the
British bayonet, feared the world
over, is not an English invention, but
comes from France. 1t was one of
those numerous instances of neces-
sity being the mother of invention.
In one of the French wars the Basque
soldiers ran out of ammunition. The
enemy were at hand, so their officers
bade them tie their long knives to
their muskets. They did so, and the
weapon thus made was successfully
used to put to rout charge of cav
airy. The battle thus fought WAS
near Bayonne, and so we have the
name bayonet.

THE season of catching cold is upon

THE season of catching cold is upon
= us. The cough and the sneeze and
nasal twang are to be heard on
every hand. The origin of chronic
catarrh, the most common and dreadful
of diseases, is cold
This is the way the chronic catarrh
generally begins. A person catches cold,
which hangs on longer than usual The
cold generally starts in the head and
throat. Thenfollowss ssensitivene SIS of the
air passages which incline one to catch
cold very easily. At last the person has
a cold all the while seemingly, more or
less discharge from the nose. hawking,
splitting, frequent clearing of the throat,
nostrils stopped up, full feeling in the
head and sore, inflamed throat.
The best time to treat catarrh is at
the very beginning. A bottle of Peruna
properly used never fails to cure a com
mon cold, thus preventing chronic
catarrh.
While many people have been cured
of chronic catarrh by single bottle of
Peruna, yet, as rule, when the catarrh
becomes thoroughly fixed, more than
one bottle is necessary to complete a
cure. Peruna has cured cases innumer-
able of catarrh of twenty years stand
ing. 1t is the best, if not the only
internal remedy for chronic catarrh in
existence.
Butprevention is far better than cure
Every person subject to catching cold
should take Peruna at once at the
slightest symptom of cold or sore
throat at this season of the year and
thus prevent what is almost certain to
end in chronic catarrh.

KEEP BIBLE FOR LUCK.
Business Firm Of Sycamore, Iu., Locks
Book in Safe to Avoid Robbery.


At Sycamore, ILL.,, a well-known
business firm makes it a practice to
keep a Bible i'll the safe. This GUS
tom was commenced long time ago
and the big steel box is never locked
up unless it contains the book. 1t is
kept in the money drawer of the safe.
1T is found necessary to remove it
occasionally, but it is always careful
" replaced.
The men who adopted this queer
practice when they commenced busi-
ness years ago have little to say in
explanation. In all their business life
their safe or store has never been
robbed or entered. They have had a
continuous good business, and are
among the most successful business
houses of the town. All of the mem.
bers of the firm attend the churches
of the town, but all are liberal in
their religious views, and the pre-
vailing belief in the town is that holy
writ is kept in the safe principal lily
for good luck.

IN PRAIRIE LAND.

MOOSE JAW, Assiniboia-
Farmers Review, Chicago, July %. 1893
Most of the praires in the United
States have ceased to exist. Man has
broken them up with orchards, forests
and farm buildings. But in Western
Canada the prairies still stretch grand
ly from horizon to horizon as yet un-
marred by the hand of man, save
where the iron road has been laid. To
q city man there is something de-
liciously restful about the vast grassy
solitudes.
Numerous clumps of trees mark the
course of the Assiniboine River, which
keeps in sight of the railroad for some
distance.
Grass is one of the notable things
about all the landscape of Western
Canada. 1t is a remarkable fact that
the entire length of the Canadian Pa
cific railway from its eastern terminus
TO the Rocky mountains is over plains
where grass grows. The sage brush
appears at some points, but never to
the exclusion Of grass. There is thus
not mile of this country that cannot
be used for some agricultural purpose
either for tilling or ranching.
Moose Jaw Is a town Of over 1000
Inhabitants and one of the most i'm
portant places in Assinlboia, being the
center Of very good farming coun-
try and a great grain and stock ship
ping point.
Near Moose law apricuIture and
ranching go hand in hand for near
the town was seen herd of beef cat
tle several hundred in number. On
another side was seen good sized
herd of dairy cows, the property of the
citizens in the town.
I'm riding over the prairies we saw
many good fields of alfalfa. The great
need of the country is timber, which
grows readily where planted, as was
demonstrated by the shelter belts on
some of the farms, and the trees on
the residence lots in the town.
Stories were told the writer of men
who last year cleared from their wheat
crop more than the land on which it
was grown originally cost them. This
is easy to believe in view of the large
crop and high price for wheat last
year-Henry F. Thurston."

A TALK ABOUT EGGS.
Very Little Difference in Nutritive
Value of the Product of Nnri-
GUS Kinds of Fowls.

The Maine experiment station has
been examining into the composition
and physical characteristics of different
kinds of eggs and finds that duck eggs
have apparently the smallest proper
tion of shell, the shell in this case be-
ing about 1916 per cent. of the whole
weight of the eggs. The average of "a
samples of hens eggs in this respect,
having an average of ia per cent. of
the whole weight. The shells of the
goose eggs averaged 1913 per cent of
all. Guinea fowl eggs should be unusu-
ally strong as their shells form 14.4
per cent. of their weight. The whites
of the eggs in proportion to their total
weight ran, goose, 52.6; duck, $50;
guinea. 53.6; turkey, 56.5. The proper
tion of yolk to the whole egg ran.
guinea fowl, 80; duck, SO; goose, 34.6,
and turkey, 3O.1.
About 70 per cent. of the edible por-
ton of eggs is pure water. The pro-
tein centent is about IA per cent,
and the fat about the same. This
makes eggs a very valuable food. Most
of the protein is in the whites of the
eggs, and most of the fat in the yollls.
Taking the egg as a whole, including
the shell, the fat content ranges from
about nine per cent. in turkeys hens
and guinea fowls eggs, to over II in
the eggs of ducks and geese. The pro-
tein content runs from II to 13 per
cent. in eggs of all varieties of fowls
named. There is really little difference
in the nutritive value of the different
kinds of eggs.

The seasoned angler is mindful of
the fact that the brook trout is the
first game fish of the opening spring
days to inspire an cutting. The bIac ok
bass legal season in most of the states
does not open until June lin several
not until the middle of the month, and
in others not until July. The salmon

OF the other fresh water game fishes,
the pike, pickerel and muska1Ionge can
legally be captured from May 1, except
in Pennsylvania and in the state of

on July /; in Canada they can be Ia

in May are: Nebraska, Iowa (N1ay 1o),

What did Napoleon the First
achieve, and how did he achieve it?
If you have read his history, and of
course you have, you know that tn ere
were months and months during his
young manhood when he would have
felt rich if he had whole Goldfish in
the cupboard and a dime in his pocket.
For two whole years such was his i'm
specunious condition, he had to grease
his hair with pork rinds or mutton
tallow, or let it go dry. He was being
educated for a soldier but only in a
half-hearted sort of a way and the
chances were even up that he would
become the advance agent of q
theatrical troupe. when he suddenly
got the idea that the future was worth
thinking over.
He hangs up somewhere for half
a day and thinks his Trunks and sets
his jaw, and as a result he had the
whole world at his feet for a score of
years. From being half-hearted,
half-starved young man with no flu
ture before him, he ruled nations and
made and unmade kings at q nod.
Let us now take my own case. I'm
not an Alexander or d Napoleon-nOt
just this minute. but who can tell
what ten years more will bring forth ?
