Scotch Professor Has Much Fun With
Learned Brother.


One OF the professors at a great
university in Scotland recently wrote
to an eastern university to the follow
ing effect.
Walking in the dusk through the
grounds Of the university the other
evening, my attention was arrested
by a low murmuring sound near me,
which was neither hiss nor a whis-
tie. On looking | saw creature
lying on the ground, larger than
cricket Two antenna-like protuber-
ances projected above the eyes. 1t
had no wings; and the covering OF
It's body was variegated, though Ger.
tainly not like down.
Mindful of the danger to myself,
! did not venture to turn 1t on its
back, so as to count the legs. On
the ground lay small quantity Of
snow-white substance, which had evil
IDENTIFY exuded from the body. Can
any of your professors identify the
creature from this imperfect descrip-
tion?"
The naturalist connected with the
eastern university fell into the trap
baited, probably, especially for him.
He wrote learnedly about various in
sects, and concluded that the one OBJ
served must be one of the two whose
long Latin names he gave.
"The antenna-like protuberances
are used for burrowing In the
ground" he wrote, "and these insects
secrete a fluid which they have the
power Of ejecting to protect them
selves in case Of attack
The tutor wrote again to thank the
naturalist for his Information, and to
say he need not trouble him further,
as he had fortunately observed the
creature again more closely under ex-
actly similar circumstances, and was
aLNo now to identify it himself as the
Yacca vulgaris, or common COW.

Are YOUR KIDNEYS WEAK?
Thousands of Men and Women Have Kidney
Trouble and Never Suspect 1t.
To Prove What the Great Kidney Remedy, Swcmp-Root
Do for YOU, Every Reader of This Paper May Have
Sample Bottle Sent Absolutely by Mail.

1t used to be considered that only urinary and
bladder troubles were to be traced to the kid
neys, but now modern science proves that nearly
all diseases have their beginning in the disorder
Of these most important orgsns.
Therefore, when your kidneys are weak or out
of order, you can understand how quickly your
entire body is affected, and how every organ
seems to fail to do its duty.
If you are sick or 'feel badly" begin taking
the great kidney remedy, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, because as soon as your kidneys begin to
get better they will help all the other organs to
health. A trial will convince anyone.

Weak and unhealthy kidneys are responsible
for many kinds Of diseases, and If permitted to
continue much suffering and fatal results are
cure to foLlOiO. Kidney trouble irritates the
nerves, makes you dizzy, restless, sleepless and
irritable. Makes you pass water often during
the day and obliges you to get up many times
during the night. Unhealthy kidneys cause
rheumatism gravel, catarrh of the bladder, pain
or dull ache in the Lack joints and muscles;
make your head ache and back ache, cause indi-
gestion, stomach and liver trouble, yon get a
sallow, yellow complexion, make you feel as
though you had heart trouble; you may have
plenty of ambition, but no strength; get weak
and waste away.
The cure for these troubles is Dr. Kilmers
swamp Root, the world-famous kidney remedy.
In taking Swamp-Root you afford natural help
to Nature, for Swamp-Root is the most perfect
healer and gentle aid to the kidneys that is
known to medical science.

American Tobacco consumptlon.

1t requires nearly 100000, 600
pounds of tobacco to meet the CON
sumption of a single year in the
United States. If this huge con-
sumption were equally distributed
among the entire population every
person would dispose of five and a
half pounds of the product annually.
Eliminating those who are under Is,
constituting a third Of the population,
the per capita consumption would be
about sixteen pounds. No census re-
port has undertaken to exhibit what
is the per capita consumption among
the actual users Of tobacco.

COMPLETED TRIUMPH or STEAM
Stephenson Invented Horn, Forerun-

HeI oI LoCOHotiNe WHISTLE
AS the train approached a crossing
the engineer lifted tin horn from the
seat beside him and blew a long
resonant blast that was scarcely audi
BILE above the rattle of the cars A
farmer on his way to market failed to
hear the warning blast The next in
stant he, with his cart, 100 pounds Of
butter and thousand fresh eggs,
were mixed up in a monster omelette
by the side of the track.
The farmer was unhurt but very
angry. He brought suit and recovered
full damages from the railroad. This
happened in England in 1888.
The president of the road sent for
George Stephenson, and said angrily:
"Our engineers can't blow their horns
loud enough to clear the tracks ahead.
You have made your steam do so
much-why don't you make 1t blow
a good loud horn for us?"
Stephenson pondered. An idea came
to him. He visited a musical instru-
ment maker and had constructed a
horn that gave a horrible screech
when blown by steam. From this horn
the locomotive whistle of to-day de-
scends.
