Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has found per,
manent use in so many homes is that 1t
contains no narcotic OF any kind. Peruna
is perfectly harmless. 1t can be used any
length Of time without acquiring drug
habit. Peruna does not produce temporary
results. 1t is permanent in its effect.
1t has no bad effect upon the system
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re-
moving the cause of catarrh. There are
multitude of homes where Peruna has been
used off and on for twenty years. Such
thing could not be possible if Peruna
contained any drugs of narcotic nature.

High Prices induce Hunters.

Naturalists are beginning to wonder
how long the annual slaughter can con-
tinue without exterminating the fur
bearing species. The most valuable of
these are already seriously diminished.
The sea otter, an animal weighing
from 40 to go pounds, formerly album
dant on the coast of Kamchatka and
the Aleutian Islands, is rapidly ap-
preaching extinction. From $500 to
$250O has been paid for single skins.
Several Of these skins, valued at from
$1,000 to $4,000 each, were exhibited at
the ST. Louis Exposition. The Ameri-
can silver or black fox sells for from
$500 up. 1t was stated that single
black pelt brought $4,000 in St. Peters
burg. Three Of these skins. were shown
at ST. Louis, valued at $6000. The fur
seal catch is diminishing every year,
and the price OF the fur Is rising: the
same seems to be true of ermine. AL
though the sales of Russian sable have
increased during recent years. the fact
that unusually fms skins will fetch
from $3.50 up suggests that the supply
is limited. The ermine and the sable
are both small animals of the weasel
family, each pelt furnishing but few
square inches of fur.-New York Globe

Oldest Self Striking Clock.

In the north transept of Wells cathe-
raj, England, may be seen the oldest
self striking clock with count wheel
in the world, having been constructed
by Peter Lightfoot about 1920. This
timepiece contains many devices which
testify to the ancient horologist's In
genuity Several celestial and terres-
trial bodies are Incorporated in inter-
esting movement and relationship.
They indicate the hours OF the day, the
age gof the moon. and the position of
the planets and the tides. When the
clock strikes the hour horsemen fully
armed cash out of two gateways in
opposite directions, and charge furi-
ously. They strike with their lances
as they pass, as many times as corre-
spends with the number of the hour.
A little distance away is seated upon
a high perch quaint figure, which
kicks the quarters on two bells placed
beneath his feet, and strikes the hours
on a bell. The dial of the clock is
divided into twenty-four hours, and in
dicates the phases of the moon and a
map of the heavens. Outside the tran
sept is another large dial and two bells,
on which two armored knights strike
the quarters, each with his halbert.
and which are said to be actuated by
the mechanism of the clock inside

King James Not a Smoker.

Whether the use of tobacco as
narcotic was known in the East be-
fore the discovery of America is some
what doubtful. Probably the habit had
long been practiced in China, but 1t is
not certain. Its extended use, however,
certainly did not come about until the
early voyagers to America brought
back this custom of the Indians to the
Continent. Sir Walter Raleigh is sup
posed to have been one of the first to
introduce it into England, but it is not
known who was the ''frst man to.
smoke a cigar" AT the time of its in
PRODUCTION, about 1900. it was very ex-
pensive, and confined to the wealthy.
1t was smoked in very small pipes, and
the smoke expelled, not through the.
mouth, but through the nose. There
was much opposition to smoking from
religious and civil sources. Popes Ur-'
ban VIII and Innocent XI were strong
ly opposed to the practice, the Sultan
of Turkey declared 1t crime, Sultan
Amiuret " decreeing a punishment
by the cruelest kind of death, and King
sixteenth century issued a counter
blaste to tobacco" in which he de-
scribed its use as "a custom loathsome
to the eye, hateful to the nose, harm
full to the brain, dangerous to the lungs,
and in the black, stinking fumes there
of resembling the horrible Stygian
smoke of the pit that is bottomless."

COCK FIGHTING ALWAYS
A POPULAR SPORT
From Early Time 1t Has Furnished
Amusement to High
and Low.

Some that protest against the cruel
ty of cock-fighting have nothing to
say against the wanton slaughter of
pigeons in shooting matches. Game
cocks may be confiscated and put to
death; owners and spectators may be
fined: there will still be cocks ready
to fight and men longing to look on.
We are not defending the so-called
sport: we recognize the facts. Cock
fighting has been an almost universal
amusement. Themistocles Is said to
have encouraged his soldiers by point
ing out to them the valor of two
cocks, who fought, not for the house
hold gods, not tor tombs of ancestors,
but only because the one would not
give way to the other. Philosophers
have sat about the pit, and thereby
pointed morals in academic grooves,
although a William Pulleyn never
heard of but one imaginative person
who was a cock-fighter, and such an
odd imagination is his, and SO strange
are the ends which these cock-fght-
ers come to. that he is now morality

ALAMEDA, Jan. Ira w. Kibby
was last might held up by lone foot
pad armed with club. The highway
man met him while he was going to his
home on College avenue, and brandish-
ing his wooden weapon commanded
him to throw UP his hands. Instead OF
complying Kibby quickly backed away
from the robber, and when he made a
motion as If to draw a pistol the thug
took to his heels.
A. NJ. Roebke of HOO College avenue
telephoned to the City Prison about the
hold-up and Policeman Theodore An
derson was detailed to investigate. He
was unable to obtain a description or
the highwayman from Kibby, who was
badly frightened. A search OF the
neighborhood failed to reveal any trace
of the footpad.
AS a result OF the numerous burg
laries and hold-ups that have occurred
here Of late residents have become tim
i'd and the actions of strange persons
and unusual noises after nfghtfall are
continually being reported to the po-
lice. Last night the fashionable resi-
dence district adjoining Grand street
was terrorized by the unaccountable
action of some unknown Individual,
who rang the doorbells of several dwell
ings and then ran from the premises.
Mrs s. w. McCann of Grand street
and Alameda avenue caught glimpse
of the miscreant as he was running
from her house. She describes him as
Of slim build, about 25 years of age. He
wore soft light felt hat and dark
clothes. The police are inclined to think
that the doorbell ringer was the pal or
some housebreaker and that he sound
ed the doorbells to ascertain IL there
was any one at home.
