A Warning to Mothers.

Too much care cannot be used with
small children during the hot weather
of the summer months to guard
against bowel troubles. AS a rule it
Is only necessary to give the child a.
dose Of castor oil to correct any dis
order of the bowels. Do not use any
substitute. but give the oid.fasiioned.
castor oil, and G that it is fresh, as
rancid oil n~auseates and has a ten
dency to grippe. IT this does not check
the bowels give Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrlioea Femedy and
then a dose OF castor Oil, and the dis
ease may be checked in it's incipiency
and all danger avoided. The castor
oil and this remedy should be pro-
cured at once and kept ready for In
slant use as soon as the first indfca-
ton of any bowel trouble appears.
This is the most successful treatment
known and may be relied upon with
implicit confidence even in cases of
cholera infanturn. For sale by all
druggists.

Messrs. Romero Drug Co.,
Las Vegas, N. NJ.
Dear Sirs:
Considering that I should express my
gratitude to you for the benefi.
cient effect which -our marvellous
medicine La Sanadora" is having up
on suffering humanity. l hereby de.
clare that my life was spared by the
use Of this medicine In a very serious
case which occurred to me on the 9Th
day Of the present month. when I was
bitten by a rattle snake on one Of my
hands. which effect caused the swell.
ing Of my hand and of my body within
twelve hours after the bite Of the rep.
tile, were signs Of my certain death.
I thank God. that through the charity
of the good lady, Mrs. Adelaide Pin.
ard, who. seeing my sufferings, gave
me a tablespoonful of La Sanadora"
to drink, and also she poured some Of
the medicine upon the spo: on my
hand where the bite was. and soon af.
ter this | commenced to feel some re-
lief and this increased hourly, SO that
after fourteen hours I vas entirely
cured and in my normal condition, re.
naming only the scar Of the bite in
my hand.
The above statement OF facts I
make this date under oath in
the presence OF Hon. Leon Pinard and
Mrs. Adelaide Pinard. who were eye
w~itnesses In the case Of my cure.

Hidinx Their spears.

An explorer In the backwoods Of
Australia tells how some timber cut
tors took big risks. II had given In
structiors to the men in the bush that
on no account were they to lay aside
their firearms" he says. "After hav-
Ing been absent for a short time l re-
turned and found that they had slung
their revolvers and carbines on n small
tree and were working ut about fifty
yards from them. I ran tell you they
heard Of It. The natives have a play
full habit OF dragging their spears
through the grass with their toes and
all the while looking as innocent as 1t
Is possible for them to look. II the
natives had only thought Of II they
might have given the cutters a warm
time"

sWEDEN's sPARksToTTlNo.
Form Of Sled That In Not Commonly
Used In Amy Other
Country.

The Swedes have made fne art OF
shedding. Their fastest sled is called
the sparkstotting and is an exceeding
ly light sled that the inhabitants OF
Norrland, a province situated at the
north of Sweden, employ during the
winter as a means of locomotion.
The use OF It now extends through
out Sweden, where races upon this
original vehicle constitute one Of the
most highly appreciated sports OF win
ter. Among other people Of the north,
In Russia, Scotland and Germany, this
sport Ia entirely unknown, fact that
is somewhat extraordinary, consider
ing that the sparkstotting can be en-
ployed in all countries In which the
rigors OF winter permit OF the use of
ordinary sleds
The sparkstotting Is constructed en-
urely of Norway spruce II lie
straight. OF elongated form and weighs
no more than 80 pounds. II consists
OF two runners, curved upward in
front, and 61a feet in length. To each
OF the runners Ia fixed an upright that
serves both as point OF support and
tiller. The entire affair Is connect
ed by two or three crosspieces, one
OF which supports a light seat placed
IL inches above the surface
The Norrland sled differs perceptibly
from the Vesterbotten type, in which
the runners, which are much shorter
are not shod with iron, but are well
creased or impregnated with boiling
tar. The lightest and best type for
racing Is the one manufactured at
Umea, Norway. In order to push the
sparkstotting the racer, bearing with
both hands upon the extremities of
the uprights, places his left foot upon
the runner to- the left, and then with
the right foot strikes the ground at
regular intervals so as to propel the
sled forward
If the snow is very hard and the
racer is not provided with spiked
shoes it Is necessary for him to fix
steel calks to the soles In recent
times a horizontal bar, breast high,
has been placed between the uprights.
MS ulOuIIltdIlOu ItudclS tllG steer Il46
easier and besides permits of govern
ing with a single hand. Upon level
route the sparkstotting reaches a
pretty good speed without great effort.
An experienced racer, when the
snow is in good condition, can easily
attain the speed of a horse on trot.
In ascents it is necessary to push the
sparkstotting or to drag it, but this
does not cause much fatigue, owing to
its lightness and the feeble surface in
contact with the snow. With this sled
1t is possible to run very fast.
