When they were in the acute

DEAR MRS. PINKHAM: I am so grateful to you for the help Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has given me that deem it but small return to write you an expression of my experience.
 Many years suffering with weakness, inflammation, and broken down system, made me more anxious to die than live, but Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound soon restored my lost strength. Taking the medicine only two weeks pro- duced a radical change, and two months re- stored me to perfect health.

inc With I'm I'll cd fate Results.
 "If you want to kill black bear deader than an Egyptian mummy just get him Into a wrestle with few cans of nitro -glycerlne," is the advice of Michael O'Brien, of Williamsport, Pa. And his word goes long way since his experience in Potter county the other day.
 O'Brien Is an oil well shooter, who has met with many strange adventures during the time that he has been haul ing explosives over the Potter county mountains, but none will compare with that of which this tale relates. OBrien was bound for the Gaines oil field, drv- ing through the mountains with four cans of the well-shooting explosive in his wagon. The lone traveller camped at noon in little valley and rode one horse to a small stream down the slope for water, leading the other. While the horses were drinking they suddenly snorted and broke into q wild run in spite of anything O'Brien could do to stop them. He had just time to see q big black bear shamble out of the edge of the woods and make for them on q trot.
 Down the road the horse and rider tore. Glancing over his shoulder OBrien saw the bear stop, snlille at the wagon, and then, with shove of his big paw, send a can of nitro-glycer- inc tumbling into the road. The next thing O'Brien knew he was picking himself out of the dense underbrush llong the roadside. His horse was not to be seen, and down where the wagon had stood there was neither wagon nor bear. Trees had been uprooted, and devastation reigned on every hand. Half an hours search revealed one foot of the bear and a hub of one of the wheels of the wagon. Later both horses were found. unhurt

Lesson two weeks ago:
FIRST GRADE.
A study of autumn leaves and the
changes in color which they under
go, is now appropriate. The maple,
oak, sour gum, and other trees should
be carefully watched. Does the color
appear more abundantly at the top
or bottom? Does the location on
low-land or highland have anything
to do with the color? Is frost neces-
sary for its development? Do yer
green trees change color at all
Learn to recognize the various trees
by the shape of their leaves.
Observe also now and what Erepa-
rations birds and insects make for
winter. What do the toads. birds, in
sects, caterpillars and bees do?
SECOND GRADE.
Study the various kinds of nuts.
Hickory. chestnut, acorn, walnut,
beach, and any others you can find.
Note their shape and color and va
ration of size and markings. Break
them open. What is the meat of the
nut? Can you find in it a young
plant ready to spring into life next
spring?
For your animal study you may
consider the manne in which differ
ent animals eat. The rabbit is a
good animal to study. What kind
of food does it prefer? Does it eat
any flesh? Will it dig for its food?
Note the shape of the mouth and
lips, and examine teeth carefully to
see if they are fitted for the kind of
food the rahhit eats most of -
THIRD GRADE.
Examine twigs of various trees,
such as the oak, apple, magnolia,
or any other tree. See if you can
tell how much of the twig was pro-
duced this year.. Can you find the
ring around the twig making the DO
sition of last years bud? Very of
ten there is a difference in the color
of the bark above and below this
ring. This is called the "annual
ring" The wood between the top of
the twig and the nearest annual ring
grew since last year. Measure last

A subject of economical bearing
may be the preparation of corn for
market. Make a list of as many
forms of marketable corn as you can
think of. Tell how the manufactured
product is made, and secure samples
if possible and visit the place where
the manufacturing is done.
For your animal study, examine
the teeth of the dog and cat and
compare them. Both in living ami
mails and in old bleached skulls If
you can find them. What is the
difference in the total number of
teeth and in the number of teeth of
each kind? Can you distinguish cut
ting teeth, grinding teeth and tear
ing teeth?
