"You have just started house. keeping, Maud," said the visitor to the bride of few weeks, accord ing to the New York Sun. "I have been married a year now, and have learned great deal about dishon- est practices of shopkeepers..
 "Tradesmen are up to all sorts of tricks. The other day went to the dairy to get some eggs. Would you believe it, the girl in charge tried to make me believe that the brown eggs were better than the real white ones? She came from a farm, too, which is a surprising thing"
 "Why, I always thought the brown eggs were the best," said the bride of a week. "I am sur prised to learn that they are not"
 "No, indeed, they are not. Do you know how they get brown? Well, it's from lying around the store so long. They just get stale and take on that brown look. Oh, they can't fool me! When began housekeeping, did not know that the storekeepers laid an egg down on the counter and stamped 1t Fresh laid.' I know their tricks now, though"

RHEUMATISM CURED.
 By Paracamph.
MT E. L. Hawkins, 123 West 27th
 St., New York City, Says:

ssI have used Paracamph in severe case of Rheumatism, and will say that got immediate, relief. I have tried almost every preparation that is now before the public, and find that Paracamph is with out question the best remedy for Rheu- matisln. I wish you success and heartily recommed Paracamph ?
 MT Hawkins is only one out of many thousands that have been cured by the wonderful penetrating remedy Paracamph This new remedy is a scientific prepara- ton which when applied, opens the pores of the skin, allowing the soothing, cool ing oils to penetrate to seat of the ailment, removing the soreness and congestion, drawing out the fever and inflammation by inducing sweating. It sweats out the pain and aches, and this is Natures plan.
 Don't ruin your stomach with strong internal medicines for Rheumatism, Neu- ralgia, Sore Joints, etc. We guarantee Paracamph to relieve and cure youif used as directed. If it fails your druggist will refund your money. If your druggist don't handle Paraca1nph ask him to get for you.
 If he won't do this send direct to us. But don t take any substitute because there isnothing just as good. Paracannph is sold only in 25 cent, 50 cent, and $I.oo bottles.
 The 50 cent size contains three times as much as the 25 cent size; the $I.oo bottles eight times as much as the 25 cent size.

HOW WILD BEASTS ATTACK
Nearly Every Species Has Its Own Peculiar Method of seiEing
 It's Prey.

Those who obtain their knowl- edge of how wild animals bounce upon their prey, be it human being or a fellow brute, from the picture books will have to revise their ideas if they are made true to life. Most of the conceptions are entirely wrong, according to the statement of a close student of such things.
 "In seizing their prey tigers and lions almost invariably go for the throat" he says, though in one or two instances that have come under my notice of animals killed by tigers they have evi- dently first been hamstrung. These, probably were the victims of young and inexperienced ti. gers. l once saw a man charged and knocked over by panther and he only saved his throat by putting up his arm, which, as we'll as his shoulder, the animal grasped with teeth and claws.
 Anyone who knows anything about elephants must be aware that the trunk, and particularly the tip of the trunk, is the most delicate and sensitive part St the animal and that he shields it from injury by every possible means in his power. It is, there fore, very unlikely that he would expose it in the act of charging. My experience, limited though it be, points to the fact that an elephant, once he has made up his mind to charge, curls up his trunk tight.
 "Bisons and buffaloes when they charge invariably poke their noses in the air and com mence running at you with their heads we'll up, much in the man. ner of domestic cattle, and only lower their horns when within few yards of the object of their attentions. This I take to be mere matter of common sense on the part of the animal, for if he puts his head down, say even 40 yards away, he could not pos sibly see where he was going.
 Bears when wounded will often get on their hind legs and dance about from sheer rage and will also at times do so in order to get better view of the where abouts of their enemy, but when they charge, whether it be at a man mounted or on foot, they in. variably charge on all fours.
 s1n charging most animals give vent to certain vocal sounds -grunts or roars-and this, it is natural to suppose, is done with view to terrifying and de moralizing the object they are attacking-in fact, more often than not it is mere bluff on the animals part. l have often seen tigers roar when charging who never really mean mischief and who when met by bold front turned off,"

Will doubt that, on this line, we have been

1t is our own mission to try to save
men and women from ruin through the
agencies OF drunkenness. We try to think
that some success has attended this effort,
but we are sadly conscious OF the odds
that are against US, chief among which is
the apathy and carelessness OF men and
women who know their duty quite as well
as we do. The iniquitous classes will not
alarm us If the men and women who ought

Extinct Animals.

No extinct land animal OF for
mer ages has a bigger body than has
the biggest African elephant of to-day,
and not one, so far as is known. ex-
ceeded or even equaled in bulk the
existing great whales, which some
times are all Of 100 feet long. As ele-
plants, horses and similar animals are
traced backward through the various
strata they are found to get smaller
and smaller. Some extinct elephants
were no bigger than Shetland ponies.
while the horses Of prehistoric times
were about the size of large dogs. In
almost every group of hairy. warm
blooded animals existing specimens are
bigger than those OF bygone times, and
the notion that there Is any tendency
in animal life to dwindle in size 10
entirely without foundation. There
are, of course, exceptions, for the ex-
tinct sloths, kangaroos, lizards and
some others exceeded in bulk existing
creatures of the same order.
