Trait of the Moose Bird.

You will md It in almost any part Of
the Maine countryside, more particular
ly around the hunting camps. have
seen three or four Of them at q time
come up and sit on the window sill and
look into the camp solemnly and wist-
fully. Throw one piece Of meat or
other food that is too big for him to
eat, and he'll eat all he can hold on the
spot and then carry'off the other half.
They say the reason why the little pigs
don't eat 1t all up is because they can't
balance themselves. 1t appears to be

brilliant as that of bluejay, and It is

Irish Home Rule Dill 1x-
plotted In 1893.

Michael McDOn0ugh writes interest.
ingly on The Hunt for the Political So.
cret" in the Monthly Review. Showing
how many important matters have been
revealed. he relates also how narrow
was the escape Of others from the fate
Of premature publication. There waa
the home rule bill Of 1893, for instance
Great as was the interest 1t aroused
nothing Of its scope was known authori.
tstively until Gladstone unfolded the
measure in the house Of commons. Yet
II was near being disclosed long be.
fore the appointed time.
The rough draft was, as usual, put into
type at the ofices Of the queens printers
and dozen copies struck OF for the use
Of members Of the cabinet only. In &C.
cordance with the great care that is al
ways taken to guard state secrets, the
copy" Of the draft was distributed
among the compositors In portions 30
minute that each got only three lines to
"set." so that none Of them could ever
form the haziest conception Of the pro-
posals Of the bill from the bit he got to
put into type, and to one Of the most
trustworthy overseers in the ONCE was
committed the duty Of arranging these
innumerable lines Of type in their con-
secutive order. Then when the dozen
proofs of the complete draft were
pulled" the type was Immediately brok-
en- up and distributed.
Yet one Of these proofs was found on
writing table in the library OF the Re-
form club before the cabinet had con-
cluded their deliberations Of the bill.
1t had been left there by an absent-mind-
ed minister after writing q letter. How.
ever, the precious document was not sent
to the press. The finder happened to be
himself the private secretary Of cab
met minister and. knowing his duty he
returned the proof to its owner.
That minister must have been terror
stricken at the thought Of the look
which the face Of Gladstone would have
worn at the cabinet council had the bill,
through his carelessness, been made
public before II was introduced to the
house Of commons.

Evidence on the following subject
will prove of interest to every Homo

the same experience daily. This pub.
lie statement should be proof positive
to every wavering doubter. Read it
carefully.
Charles Comey, of Cyclomere street,
this city, one of the many persons who
have tried Doan's Backache Kidney
Pills with great advantage, relates
his experience thus: 81 have been a
hack driver for number of years past
and this is an occupation in which,
through exposure to weather and much
jumping up and down from the vehi.
Gle, one is particularly liable to kidney
complaint. suffered myself from
lame back for long while. and in my
anxiety to get rid of it tried several
things wL4ch did not reach the root
of my trouble. An advertisement ac-
quainted me with what grand work
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills were
doing, and ! got some of them at the
Holllster Drug Co.'s store. used
them and with very much profit, for
they reneve- my back wonderfully.
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are
for sale oy all .ealers or sent by mail
on receipt of price, so cents per box,
