LITTLE THOUGHTS.

Disappointment 70 not = sufficient
reason for discuuragcment
Be satisfied with Yourself if you will.
but do not be self satisfied.
All things come to those who leave
of waiting and 70 after them,
The claims to wisdom of all owls and
most men rest upon their looks.
Good qualities like good steel knives,
grow dull of edge unless they are used
Many man who is offered chance
Of a lifetime for II mere song cnnnot
sing.
Your grip on success depends largely
on the other things You are willing to
let 60
When a man sets popularity before
his eyes, he is likely to let principle out
of his heart.
If we had no falings ourselves, we
should not take So much pleasure In
finding out those of others.

FlAMlNGOES.
There Are Several Species of These
Radiant Tropical Birds

There are about seven species OF
iamingoes inhabiting the tropical parts
of both hemispheres, three of which
are i'll America, frequenting the Bahia
mas Florida and Cuba. In height the
bird averages about i've feet and If its
curved neck We're stretched to its full
length ii would tower above the head
of an ordinary man. Flamingoes breed
IN May and June. At this period their
bright colorci plumage is faded. 1t as
sumeS its most radiant hues in winter.
When first hatChed. the young have
L straight bill, which after time de-
veiops into one Of bent shape Their
first plumage is grayish white and
passes through various tintS OF pink,
rose, carmine or verniliOu TO the full
scarlet of the adult. which reaches its
deepest shade on the wings. Geveral
final gaudy plumage.
The eggs are white, showing Il blue
tnge when SCraped under the surface
They are long, oval and have Il thick
Shell, eQualing In size that of the com
mon goose The flesh is not palatahIe
to the taste, being extremely oily.
They feed upon both animal and vege-
table matter from the ooze and soft
bottoms of the shallow waters and
lagoons selected by them both as Il
feeding ground and nesting place.
When flying, their long legs are stretch
ed out behind and the neck becomes
straight. They have peculiar voice
and sort of one syllable Outcry.
which they utter as an alarm signal
the moment they are approached or
believe themselves to be in danger.
On account of their keen eyed and
wary nature it is almost impossible to
get within close range of them. They
walk with slow and cautious tread.

The Yuruks assert that human souls
return into the bodies of animals and
that the spirits of the latter take also
a human form and appear at deter
mined epochs. This is certainly the
reason why they are so kind to ami
mails. Yuruk loves his horse as
much as his family. The horses have
their place under the tent, and 1t Is
not uncommon to see them warmly
wrapped in Il magnificent robe when
the 1uruk and his children are COW
cred with rags.
Some other customs attest also pa
gan origin. In the orient everybody
knows that the Yuruks worship Ger
tain trees and rocks. These facts yielu
sufficient evidence that monotheism is
by no means the essential dogma OF
their religion.

S1.OO'A YEAR.
PAYING TELLER'S LAPSE.
He and Several Others Failed to
Note an Absurd Error.

Banks are notoriously careful about
scrut,uizing the signatures to checks
on which they pay out money, yet. as
the following incident well illustrates.
il is possible for even the most care
full and experienced Of paying tcllcrs
to make mistakes. The incident is the
more remarkable because it reveals a
most curious error ON the part of
prominent business man as well as an
astonishing lapse in the case of usu-
ally accurate and scrupulously exact
bank Official.
Among the lcpostors at one Of the
largest banks in the city is an old and
prominent firm which may be called,
for the purposes of this relation,
Aoysns Jenkins y 60. All checks is
sued ly the firm are signed in person

A QUEER COACH ROAD.
Passengers Pay Their Fare and
work Their Way as Well.

In the old days of canal voyaging
captains of boats were not infreQuently
asked to give Il wayfarer lift The
man was asked if he was willing TO
work his passage. If he said Yes he
was put to work driving the horses In
Europe it seems, II similar custom is
practCed on paying coach passengers.
In the Pyrenees there is coach road
between two villages, one on each side
of Il mountain 10000 feet high, After
the coach has proceeded little dis
tance and reached the steep part of the
ascent the conductor begS the passen-
gers to get out SO as to ease the horses
They are even requested push be
hind and help the poor animals TO drag
the huge vehicle uphill.
When at last the summit is reached
the traveller, wiping from his forehead
drops Of sweat as big as kidney beans
congratulates himself on the breezy
ride down the steep slopes of the de
scent which awaits him.
There is where he makes mistake,
for the conductor with sweet smile,
begs the gentlemen to be kind enough
to hang on to the coach behind and act
the part of Westinghouse air brake
or else the horses may be injured,
In this manner the terminus of the
line Is reached. the passengers having
pushed the coach all the way up one
side of the mountain and held 1t back
all the way down the other
In spite of this there is rush for
places on the coach daily as there has
been for half century. Spare Mo

WHEN THE KIDNEYS
STOP WORK.
TIE Pen. Where the Kidneys Cease
to Do Their Duty Properly is the
Beginning of Bright's Disease,
This Stage of the Disease Leaves
the Victim Only a Fighting
Chance for Life.

When the liver becomes torpid it
throws upon the kidneys extra work in
keeping the body free from impurities.
This extra work they viii perform Tor a
time without serious disturbance, for
they are tough organs, but at last the
strain becomes too heavy, they are
weakened and disordered, and unless
the liver IS promptly stimulated they
break down and the more serious uoubil
begins. When this stage IS reached the
valuable liver regulating and kidney
strengthening properties Of Prickiy Ash
Bitters are badly needed. L IS safe to
say that no one would ever die OF Bright's
Disease if he would apply this remedy
at this critical time Unfortunately,
however, the kidneys do not at first
manifest any decided symptoms. The
victim Is conscious that something IS
wrong, but fails to apply a remedy for
it, 50 he struggles on until the disease
some day prostrates him completely,
meanwhile the deadly work Of destruc-
ton goes on steadily in his vital organs.
The kidneys beng weakened and pow.
erless are no longer ablc 70 extract the
urea and uric acid from the blood, so It
goes back into the system and gradually
decays changing to uric acid poison
which extends its malignant influence
70 every part Of the body. The albumen
which should nourish the system passes
unarrested through the liver and kidneys
and escapes with the urine, SO the pa
tient' s strength fails for want of food.
At this point the disease takes on a
decided character, dropsy sets in and
the signs Of uraernic poisoning rapidly
appear. The importance of checking
til rayages Of the disease at the earliest
possible moment cannot be over-esti-
mated When the trouble IS confined 70
the liver i is bad enough, but when the
kidneys break down it at once becomes
life and death struggle with the Ger
tainty that death Will win the race unless
nature is helped IN its effort 70 restore
health. The prudent and best course is
to resort to the use of Prickly Ash Bitters
on The first signs Of disorder in the liver.
Warming symptoms are plentiful and
are FIRST noticed when the stomach fails
to digest food properly. The victim be
comes bilious, l4nguid, constipated and
suffers from Indigestion, headache, diz-
illness, foul breath and aatulence. A
few doses of Prickly Ash Bitte-s will
drive ont the bilious impurities,
strengthen and revive the torpid liver,
cleanse aud regulate the bowels and
impart a feeling OF strength, yigor and
cheerfulness.
Accept no substitute Insist on having
the genuine PriClly Ash Bitters with the
large figure Il red on the front label
