WILD LIFE OBSERVATION.
Few Persons Can Describe Accura tely
What They See in the
Creatures.

Good observers are probably about as
rare as good poets says John Burroughs,
in "On Humanizing the Animals" in
Century. Accurate seeing-an eye that
takes in the whole truth, ard nothing
but the truth-hOW rare indeed it is,
So few persons know or can tell exactly
what they see; SO few persons can draw
a right inference from an Observed fact;
SO few persons can keep from reading
their own thoughts and preCOnceptiOn
into what they see; only a person with
the scientific habit Of mind can be trust
ed to report things as they are. Most OF
us in observing the wild life about us,
see more or see less of the truth. We
see less when our minds are dull, or
preoccupied, or blunted by want of in
terest This is true of most country peO-
pie We see more when we read the lives
of the wild creatures about us in tho
light Of our human experience, and i'm
pute to the birds and beasts human mo-
tives and methods. This is too often
true Of the eager city man or woman who
salies out into the country to study ma
ture.
The tendency to sentimentalize nature
has in our time, largely taken the place
of the old tendency to demOnize and
spritize it. 1t is anthroT0morphism in
another form, less fraught with evil to
u.s. but equally in the way of a clear
understanding of the life about US.

The Death Penalty.

A little thing sometimes reeuts in
death. Thus mere scratch, insignifi-
cant cuts or puny boils have paid the
death penalty. 1t is wise to have Buck
lens Arnica Salve ever handy. It's the
best salve on earth and will prevent ia
tality when burns, sores, ulcers and
piles threaten. Only 25c at Slocum
Drug Co.'s.

 W. A. Hawkins, proprietor of OK ford Hotel, A. 4th avenue, Seattle, says: 'I was subject to kidney trouble for a number of years and during that time took different remedies recom- mended to me without much success. ] came here from LapOrte, Ind. some twelve years ago and have taker pa- per from here ever since. Every now and again I read of people in that city who had been cured of kidney trouble by the use of Deans Kidney Pills, and 1t was through mentally discussing these cases that induced me about a year ago to try the remedy. It gave me undoubted benefit at that time. Since then l noticed symptoms of re- currence, the pills acted equally as well as they did when they first came to my notice"
