why Thunder sour. NH.


To many persons the curdling Of
milk in thunderstorm Is mysterious
and unintelligible phenomenon. Yet
the whole process really Is simple and
natural. Milk, like most other SUBJ
stances, contains millions Of bacteria.
The milk bacteria that in day or
two under natural conditions would
cause the fuid to sour are peculiarly
susceptible to electricity. Electricity
inspirits and invigorates them. affect
Ing them as alcohol, cocaine or strong
ten affects men. Under the currents
influence they fall to work with amaz-
Ing energy, and instead Of taking a.
couple Of days to sour the milk they
accomplish the task completely In a
half hour. With an electric battery 1t
.is easy on the same principle to sour
the freshest milk.

STONER LANDS A
MAMMOTH PIKE
Fish Measured pip Inches in
Length and Weighed ZIP
Pounds. :.

While fishing in a small lake a
mile and half west of Nebish
Sunday afternoon, M. D. Stoner,
county surveyor, caught a mon
ster pike that tipped the, scales
at seven and one:half pounds,
which he landed only after a
strategic struggle.
The fish measured twenty
seven and one.half inches in
length, and was in poor, condition.
Had it been we'll filed out, it
would have easily weighed nine
pounds. : " -
Mr.. Stoner will have the pike
mounted, to use as prima facia
evidence of his prowess with the
reel, he having hooked it with a
common BAN boo pole and a reel.
The rumor that he bought the
fish from an Indian is a canard.

A QueeH Cnre.

Riding on an elephant in Ceylon, be-
hind native prince on a hunting ex-
petition" said a clergyman, "the con-
versation CHANGED to turn on indiges-
ton, to which said l was subject.
The prince at once pulled out black
leather button kind of thing, which he
was wearing on a string round his neck
under his clothes.
"'What's this?' said l.
: "a hyena's snout,' was the startling
reply.
What forT
To cure Indigestion
How can it do thisY.
1T Is very simple. A hyena gets it's
living by digging up and crunching old
bones. Now, it possesses in its snout
this peculiar virtue-that when Its nose
approaches anything hard. such as
bones, these tough substances instantly
grow soft and enable the animal to eat
them with comfort and benefit. So you
will find that If you keep this charm
hanging round your neck the proximity
Of the hyena's nose, though dried up
and lifeless, Will soften your food,
however indigestlble, to such an extent
that you will never again suffer from
