THE ANIMAL KINGDOM.

Wild dogs never bark and so always
bite.
A gray horse lives the longest, a
black one the shortest.
A coon's fur is so thick that it can
rob bees without being stung.
A blue eyed cat is always deaf, but
all deaf cats are not blue eyed.
An Asiatic squirrel climbs tree like
telegraph pole climber. It has large
horny scales on it's tail for the purpose.
The flying fox or tropical bat will
pass the night drinking from the YES
sells in which cocoa is distilled and go
home intoxicated in the early morning
or sleep it off at the foot Of the trees.
The big snowshoe rabbit or northern
hare is something of dresser It
wears a white coat in winter and a
gray one in summer, the better to con-
ceal itself from its enemies by looking
as the ground looks in the two seasons.

Fish a Lucky Omen.

Fish is a sign of good omen. In
Bengal, when the bride comes with the
bridegroom for the first time in the
house of the latter, the former has to
catch hold of fish in a certain well
come ceremony, in prospect, perhaps,
OF generation as fruitful as that of a
fish. While entering a new house for
the first time the lady is to take hold
of fish, probably for the same rea-
son. Whatever may be the reason for
regarding the handling of fish. as auspi-
cious, it is indisputable that over a
large part of northern India the Eva
ter vegetable (as it is called by high
caste Punjabis, who eat it in spite Of
its being considered forbidden food for
Brahman, Khatris and Baniyas) is
taken to assure good luck The writer
Of this was fastening to Nepal to see
sister who was dangerously i'll. He
came across a Nepalese gentleman near
sPatna, who offered to accompany him
to his destination, being moved to pity
on hearing of his errand. When cross
ing the Gauges from Digha Chat to
PaleZa Chat big hilsa fish fell at his
feet on the deck Of the steamer as if
hurled by an unseen hand. Perhaps
It had been struck by the stern wheel
and thrown up over the bulwark. The
Nepalese friend jumped up in great
excitement, exclaiming:: Here is a
sign from heaven-the happiest omen
for you, my lad. You will find your
sister out Of danger" All classes IN
Nepal share the superstition Of the
Bengalis in regard to fish.-Lahore

When hoops Began.

When were hoops Gin for the first
time? According to Strut, ''trundling
the hoop is a pastime Of uncertain Or
igin, but much in fashion at present"
QSOD. DR.. Murray's dictionary, Incl
dentally remarking that the original
hoop affected by boys was barrel
hoop, gives no English reference to it
earlier than 1892 But the hoop was
we'll known to ancient Greek and Ro-
man boys, who called it ''trochus"
(wheeD. Their hoops We're made Of
bronze, and representations of them on
gems show that they were driven by a
little hook with a wooden handle, very
like the modern boys hoop stick. This
was called by the Greeks "elater"
driver and by the Romans "clavis"
Rey). Sometimes the ancient hoop had
bells attached to it. and modern Lon

The GentIemanIy Leopard,

The cheetah has reputation as one
Of the most gentlemanly Of beasts. A
story from Ootacamund shows what
fine manners the animal has. Three
Calcutta visitors to the hill station
were out on a tramp when they were
overtaken by thunderstorm, accom-
panied by sheets Of rain. They spied
cave in the side Of the hill, and into it
they rushed. When the rain stopped
they came out and, to their surprise.
found a cheetah sitting licking the
heavy. wet off his waistcoat and his
paws. 1t was his cave, but rather than
deprive his visitors of their shelter the
polite creature had sat outside in the
driving tempest. With a friendly new
and gracefully wagging his tail, the
cheetah babe adieu to his guests and
walked with dignity into his house.

DRINK MORE, EAT LESS.

Advice For Those With Rheumatism
Gout, Eczema and Neuralgia.
If people would take less nutrition
and drink more water, there would be
less rheumatism, govt, eczema and
neuralgia in the world. The most fire.
quent cause of these arrangements is
an excess Of nutritive materials The
blood is surcharged with salts that
are not needed in the system.
The doctors are trying to remedy
these diseases by giving something to
eliminate the salts, such as purgatives,
diuretics and solvents of various
kinds. The rational way, however, to
cure such affections is to stop the
cause. Drink more water; eat less
meat and concentrated foods. This
shuts off the supply of urates in the
blood
Those who take active exercise in
the open air every day require great
er amount Of nutrition. Not only do
they use up the nutritive materials in
muscular exercise, but the amount of
oxygen inhaled because of their activ-
tiles thoroughly oxidizes the urates and
changes them in urea. If the blood ia
loaded with urates they are very like
ly to crystalline. especially in those
portions Of the body where the circula
ton is the least and the temperature
is the lowest, such as the elbows. an
kles. the toes and fingers.
Drink more water; eat less food.
This is d prescription that is worth
more to such people than all the drugs
in the world. Shut off the source of
urate poisoning and the effects Of
urate poisoning will disappear-Ex-

WAGER or BAT TIE.
The First Duels Are Said to Have

The first duels were fought in Italy,

for the adjustment of wager of

meant to him death with dishonor.
Beccarin says that the reason so
many duels were fought in italy in
the early days is that where the law
does not afford protection one must
look to single combat to retain the re

The Best Guaranty of Merit

Every bottle of DR.. Pierces world
famed medicines leaving the great labo-
ratory at Buffalo, N. Y, has printed
upon its wrapper all the ingredients

cines IN q class oil by themselves. They
cannot be classed with patent or secret
medicines because they are neither. This
is why so many unprej JUDGED physicians
prescribe them and recommend them to

are those endorsed by the most eminent
medical authorities.
The further fact that neither DR..

to a place all by themselves
Many years ago. DR.. Pierce discovered
that chemically pure glycerine, of proper
strength, is better solvent and preserv-
ative of the medicinal principles resid-
ing in our indigenous, or native, medi-
clnal plants than is alcohol; and, further
more, that it possesses valuable medicinal
properties of its own, being demulcent
nutritive, antiseptic, and a most efficient
antiferment.
Neither of the above medicines con-
CdlnS dlcOnOl, or any ndrm1u1, naDlt-
forming drug, as will be seen from a
glance at the formula printed on each
bottle wrapper. They are safe to use and
potent to cure.
Not only do physicians prescribe the
above, non-secret medicines largely, but
the most intelligent people employ them
people who would not think of using
the ordinary patent, or secret medicines
Every ingredient entering into the COM
position of DR.. Pierce's medicines has
the strongest kind of an endorsement
from leading medical writer's of the
several schools of practice No other
medicines put up for like purposes has
any such professional endorsement.

For the Junior Manager.
A man who wanted to lecture called

He aroused their interest with lee
turer's art, says the Lyceumite. but
unfortunately the senior member was
just starting on a trip and would not
return for at least month.
The senior partner called the young
man to one side and exacted solemn
promise that he would not visit an
other bureau or read his lecture to
anybody until after he had given this
particular manager reading and a
chance to make him an offer a month
hence.
The interest of the junior member,
however, was at white heat, and he
kept sending for the young lecturer, in
sisting that he come down to the Office
and read his lecture. The young man
refused with as much tact as possible,
but this only increased the anxiety Of
the Junior
At last the young man told of the
promise made the senior partner. In
stead of quieting the Junior manager,
the announcement made him the more
anxious, and finally the young man
consented.

Nov, your reading this has saved
us all much valuable time Til tell you
frankly, my boy, it won't do. There's
no message in it; it is loosely construct

Burn it and try again.
When the senior partner returned he
called up the young lecturer and sound

"How do I know you have not been
to every bureau in town? You promis-
ed me on your honor you would read
the lecture to nobody-not even to my
partner"
The young man protested that he
had not done so.
"Why," exclaimed the senior man
ager, "of course you have! He tells me
that you came down here to the office
two weeks ago and read him the entire
lecture and that he told you 1t was no

Shaggy locks and patriarchal boards
have proved highly inconvenient things
on the battlefield. Does not history
record that Alexander ordered the

boards should give a handle to their

ordered all ranks to be shaven, but
