neeoiui to the tiger than to any 9th

cause along the waterways he finds
an easy and abundant food in the
river hog, in the small deer that
come down to drink and in the fish
mat SWIM plentifully in all these
streams. '00o
In the Rio de la Plata, just off
buenos Ayres, is an island where at
one time a number of jaguars lived
and thrlVed practically on the fish
they caught, for there was NOTHING
else on the island, and no one ever
heard OF their visiting the mainland
because OF It's settlement and not on
account of the distance to shore for
the tiger Is strong, bold swimmer
ana minds no river of South Amer
lea, not the widest, if he wishes to
reach the opposite bank. He is a
patient, unerring fisherman, watch
ing for long periods from some van
tage point, which may be either a
fallen tree trunk extending into the
stream or at the banks edge, until
victim appears, when with a light
ming blow he hurls the fish out on to
the bank or clutches it as it swims
past. :
While the swampy jungle and the
water courses are his habitat, yet the
Jaguar will make incursions upon
dry ground if cattle or horses or
dogs or poultry offer and river food
happens to be scarce or for the time
being more difficult to secure. l
heard several trustworthy accounts
OF cattle and colts killed by the
jaguar, though his ravages are not
so frequent as once they were owing
to his further inland habitat. His
method of killing animals of this
size is literally to stalk them up
wind, that no scent may reach the
victim, and then to spring on their
back, fastening teeth and claws in
the neck. With smaller animals
the jaguar springs for the neck at
once and appears to prefer the hind
quarters to the stomach, which is
left for the vultures that are omni-
present in the open country.
The jaguar is a noisier animal
than any other of the feline family,
particularly at night, and roams the
jungle disdainful of lesser beasts in
his manifest superiority. And he
is without doubt absolute king of
the South American forest. There
is literally none to dispute his do
main, none even worthy to do him
homage, for the puma, which is fair
ly plentiful, has as little the cour-
age of his convictions in South as
in North Manufacturing.

WASHING Made Easy.

Fill a clothes boiler two-thirds
full of water, adding almost one bar
of good laundry soap and small
handful of washing soda if the water
is hard. When boiling, put in three
tablespoonfuls of kerosene and let
it boil five minutes longer. Wash
the stains from white clothes, put in
boiler and let them boil fifteen min
utes. Take out into tub, pour on a
pail of cold water and wash through
this suds. Rinse with warm water,
then blue and hang to dry. Used as
directed, kerosene leaves no odor.

WASHING Glassware.

If all women understood the trick
Of washing glassware there would be
fewer broken glass dishes. So many
try to pour hot water into the glass,
with the result of sudden crack
and dish that is ruined. If it had
first been set on cloth wrung out
in very hot water the catastrophe
would not have happened. make
doubly safe a silver spoon may be
laid in the dish. That will take some
of the heat from the glass.

the window with as strong solution
of EPSON salts as a given quantity

third Street, New York City.

All passenger trains of the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad to and from New York
City now have direct ferry connection
with 23rd Street Terminal. in additio-
TO Liberty Street, the South Ferry
Terminal having been discontinued.
Twenty-third Street is the most pOpu-
lar terminal of the great metropolis be-
cause of its convenience to the hotel,
theatre and shopping district. In the
recent remOdeling of the terminal build
ing glass rooted canopy was construct
ed fifty feet wide, under which the cross
town cars of l4th. 23rd, 2Sth, and 10Th
Street lines pass, so that passengers are
protected from the weather leaving the
ferry house, and also avoid the annoy
ance of street traffic.

City will be delivered to 23rd Street un-
less distinctly marked Liberty Street"
or otherwise.
A complete electric cab service has
also been established for the transporta-
ton of passengers and baggage at very
reasonable rates.
The importance of 23rd Street is most
graphically brought to attention in the
August number of the Book of the
Royal Blue" published by the Passenger
Department of the Baltimore IL Ohio
under the title Into the Heart of Goth
am" The interest centers within a
radius of 23rd Street, Fifth Avenue and
Broadway. Full page photographs Of

near future.
The Norfolk & Western Railway
has made arrangements to do away
with the present block system Of train
dispatching by telegraphy, and the
apparatus has been ordered to put in
a complete system of train Dispatch
ing by telephone. The division be-
tween Columbus and Portsmouth is
to have the first of the new equip
ment.

his home in Stilesvllle. For several
years Kreigh was in the employ OF a
circus where he was exhibited as the
largest man in the world. His
weight often reached IT'S pounds.
He was over six teet high, but his
bones were very small. 1t required
two tailors to take measurements for
his clothes, az it was impossible for
one man to reach around his body.
1t took seven yards of double width
goods to make him a suit. Kreigh
was an interesting exhibit at the Ha-
gerstown fair couple of years ago.

The Frightful Death of an Aeronaut.

With such crash as might attend
the humiliation of planet or the
bursting of a meteor, 25 pounds of dy-
Mantle, carried to the clouds by Aero
naut Jno. E. Baldwin, exploded Thurs
day afternoon at Greenville, OHIO,
literally blowing the daring naviga-
tor of the air into atoms.
Baldwin made the ascension about
$50 o'clock. The great bellied mon
ster of the air sailed up and up until
the fragment of humanity in the par
achute seemed a mere speck. When
the balloon had reached the altitude
OF probably 1900 feet the floating
body was scattered to the four winds
of heaven. The defamation did not
reach the earth until some seconds
after the deadly explosive had ended
its work of destruction, so that the
gazing people were not aware OF the
fearful tragedy enacted in their view.
A woman tainted in the throng. A
single moan escaped her white lips
when she beheld the apparent pbe-
nomenon in the heavens. She alone
of all there knew what had happened.
She had pleaded with the aeronaut
not to make an ascension, and failing
to dissuade him from that purpose she
had tried to keep him from carrying
the terrible destroying agent with him.
She was the wife Of the aeronaut and
the mother of his four children. Sue
had experienced premonition, and
had told him SO, but she could
dissuade him from his purpose to
make the ascent.
A few near by turned to the aid of
the swooning woman and then came
the crash overhead like the peal of
Jove. Hurting down through the
air came fragments OF flesh and cloth
and cordage. Owing to the lack of
breeze in the air the explosion had
taken place almost directly over where
the balloon had risen. The CHASTITY
remnants of the tragedy were falling
thickly over the ground when terror
of the people was augmented by the
falling OF the aeronaut's right leg, the
only whole member of the body to be
found.
Thousands fed in awful terror, and
only the holder and harder spirits
remained behind to see the final end
ing of the tragedy. When all the frag-
ments Of the body that could be found
had been gathered together about half
of the man who had assembled lay on
the ground for the coroner's inspection.
What caused the tragedy will never
he known

Great Fortunes for Gems.

According to the compilation of the
government officials diamonds and 9TH
er precious stones of value exceeding
$4,000, 900 were brought into the Uni
ted States last year. This is taken us
an indication of the industrial prosper
ity of our country. The best indica.
ton of the popularity of the famous

that more people are taking it today
than ever before. Its great curative
properties are being recognized more
more every day by people who have
been persuaded to try it, and as re-
suit thousands have been restored to
perfect health, many of them willing
ly testifying TO the fact. If you suffer
from insomnia, poor appetite, lndigeS-
ton, dyspepsia, liver or kidney ills or
malaria, fever and ague, the Bitters
Will surely help you, Try 1t and see

dent Prohibitionist.
The Presbyterian congregation OF
Romney, this State, has extended a
call to Rev. S. NJ. Engle, of Berkeley

accept, as it is said he has two other
calls under consideration.
Reinhart & Dennis have been award
ed the contract to fill in Coal Run,
the ravine that divides Fairmont. The
cost ofthe project is put at 81 900, 600.
Sixteen acres of ground will be made.
Watson Hill will first be dynamited
with 100 tons of explosives. The
entire work is to be completed in Is
months. One thousand men will
work on the contract.
George J. Gould returned to New

Bob Richmond, while digging gin
seng in New Creek mountain, near
Keyser, uprooted an old stump and
found a mouse nest made from bank
notes. 1t had evidently been large
roll of greenbacks. and, if of large
denomination, represented many dol
lars. Only enough of the notes re-
NAMED to tell what they were, One
was a fve.dollar silver certificate, and
the others were of one-dollar denomi-
nations. 1t is thought the money
had not been there long, and had
been put there by some thieves,
gang of whom operated in this vicinl-
ty couple of years ago.

The Size of Our Grain Crop.

Measuring the prosperity Of the
American farmer this year in units Of
freight cars, railroad statisticians
have figured out that the grain traffic
for this crop year will aggregate l.
100000 carloads. If all this grain
could be marketed simultaneously
and hauled in a single solid train Of
freight cars the train would be II,
93l miles long, exclusive Of the loco
motives that would be necessary to
move it.
Dividing this huge train into small
er ones Of 40 cars each there would
be required $1,000 locomotives or
355 miles of draft machinery. Add.
ing this 355 miles to the II ,93l miles
ofcars, there is total of II, 286 miles.
To hold the cars and engines it would
require nearly every foot Of four
tracks extending from New York to
San Francisco. The necessary sim
gle track would measure half the cir
conference Of the globe.
Impressive as these figures are,
they do not begin to tell the vastness
of the wealth which the American
farmer has taken from his soil in coin,
oats, waeat, barley and rye in the
year 1905. The railroad mems esti-
mates are confined to the grain which
will be moved to market centers on
the steam roads. Probably not over
one-thlrd Of the grain produced will
ever see a freight car. The other
two-thirds will be hauled to local
mills in wagons or will be consumed
by live stock on the farms. To no d
the entire corn crop alone would call
for train and engine q 900 miles
in length.

Dear Mrs. Pinkham .
ydia Pkhams Vesetabe Compound Succeeds Where others Fall
Cows Ate The Lingerie.

While SIX young girls Of Otterbein,
Indiana, were enjoying themselves
bathing in the Wabash river the 9TH
er day, wearing very scanty costumes,
a herd of hungry COWS descended on
an improvised dressing room which
the girls had constructed of sbawls on
the river bank. They were real hum
cry COWS, and they were not content
merely with grazing on the grass
that fringed the bank. They plunged
right into the dressing room and pro-
ceeded to make the place look as if 1t
had been hit by a Kansas cyclone.
Pretty frocks were devoured, dainty
lingerie torn, straw bats were swal-
lowed with one gulp, as if they were
real hay, and not enough clothes were
left to dress ballet girl, when the
girls appeared and interrupted the
feast. Shrieks for help filled the air.
A nearby young farmer, hearing the
cutlery, ran up armed with a pitch
fork, preparing to rescue some heroine
from a road villain. Stand back u
cried the girls. Don't you dare to
come here I" The girls plunged into
the river and from there held long
distance conversation with the farm
er. He promptly drove off the
COWS and then made a two mile trip
afoot to their homes, where he got
new clothes for them, and returned
in time to avert the necessity of be-
Wy of mosquito, bitten lassies walking
home in barrels.
