NOT WORTH THE LIVING.
Sorry Condition Of Many Today.
Liberal Offer Made by the Brat
ton Drug Company.

Those who never have any stom-
ach troubles and whose digestion is
like that of an ostrich cannot possib-
ly understand the sorry condition of
many in Palestine today.
Life does not seem worth the liy-
ing; they bear up with nervous irri-
tation, sleeplesness, pain and misery
in the stomach, headaches, back
aches. and have a constant fear that
what they eat is going to disagree
with them and cause still greater
distress. While persons with a
weakened stomach should have our
sympathy, II is much better TO point
out the way to cure their physical
troubles and make II possible for
them to once more enjoy life without
thought or care as TO what may be
eaten.
In Mona there is a remedy that
restores the lost functions OF the d.
gestive system, revives tagging nu-
triton, and aids in the assimilation
of food This remedy soothes and
heals the irritated and infiamed walls
of the stomach. strengthens the
nerve centers Of the digestive sys-
TEN. and makes a permanent and pos
tive cure in all forms OF stomach
trouble. excepting cancer.

eral offer in connection with Mi-o-na,

box they sell that II the remedy does
not give satisfaction IL will cost you

This saying had its origin in the
rivalry between st. Peters cathedral,
now Westminster abbey, and st.
Paul's, when, I'm 1850. an appropria-
ton was made from st. Peters to
make good deficiency in the accounts
Of st. Paul's. Much opposition was
shown TO this, and it was for the time
popular outcry, "Why rob Peter to
pay Paul?' The saying was revived
as proverb upon the death of VIII
liam Pitt, earl Of Chatham, in ITS. The
city of London argued that so illus
trious a statesman should be buried at
St Paurs, while parliament held that
the remains Of so great leader should
be placed with the dust of kings and
that TO bury him away from the Abbey
of Westminster would be again n rob-
bing of Peter TO pay Paul.

A FAMOUS MONSTER.
An Old Time Wonder That Had an
Eye In It's Knee.

An Old Time Wonder That Had an
Eye In It's Knee.
In the writings of both Licetus and
Zahn may be found descriptions and
Illustrations Of a monster born at Ra-
VIENNA, Italy, in the year 1911 or 1912,
the exact date being somewhat uncer-
tain. This monster had a body and
shoulders like those of young woman.
There was but one leg, gradually ta-
perlng from the hips down and termi-
mating In an immense scaled claw, like
that of n turkey buzzard. There were
four toes, each tipped with bony nail,
three OF them pointing to the left and
one to the right The creature had
wings in place of arms and always
held them in an erect position, as
though ready to take flight at the
slightest provocatlon. From the hips
to the single knee the flesh was COW
cred with large, well arranged feath-
ers. From the knee joint to the foot
the leg was scaled, like that of the com
mon barnyard fowl, the spot where the
feathers left off and the scales com
menced being marked with large lid
less eye, which seemed to be altogether
incapable of voluntary motion. The
neck, head and general outlines of the
face were those of a woman, but the
ears were large and set very low, al
most on the neck.
The head was covered with queer
mixture of scales, feathers and hair,
but the oddity of the whole upper
story" was a pointed horn, which rose
just in the edge of the hair on the cen
ter of the forehead. This horn was
three inches in length, and, according
to zahn, even a farmer would have
mistaken 1t for the horn of a two-year-
old heifer had 1t been removed and
shown to him."
The old time wonder mongers all give
pictures and descriptions Of this ''horn-
ed italian monster" but none tells how
long it lived or what was done with
the body after death.

SIZE OF A THUN0EReoLT.

GeOIogists Have system by which
Such Measures Are Taken.
"Did you ever see the diameter of a
lightning fash measured?' asked n
geologist "Well. here is the case which
once inclosed a flash of lightning, fitted
it exactly, so that you can see how big
1t was. This is called 'fulgarite,' or
lightning hole and the material 1t is
made of is glass.
when bolt Of lightning strikes a
bed of sand it plunges downward into
the sand for a distance less or greater,
transforming simultaneously into glass
the silica in the material through which
it passes. Thus by its great heat 1t
forms a glass tube of precisely its own
size.
Now and then such a tube, known
as fulgarite. is found and dug up.
Fulgarites have been followed into the
sand by excavations for nearly thirty
feet They vary in interior diameter
from the size of quill to three inches
or more, according to the bore of the
fash. But fulgarites are not produced,
alone in sand They are found also in
solid rock, though very naturally of
slight depth. and frequently existing rs
a thin, CLASSY covering on the surface.
such fulgarites occur in astonishing
abundance on the summit of Little Ara
rat, in Armenia. The rock is so soft
and porous that blocks II foot long can
be obtained. perforated in all direc-
tions by little tubes filed with bottle
green glass formed from the fused
rock
Some wonderful fulgarites were
found by Humboldt Oh the high Nevada
de Toluca. in Mexico. Masses of the
rock were covered with thin layer Of
green glass. Its peculiar simmer in
the sun led Humboldt to ascend the
precipitous peak at the risk of his life"

AEADLEss, YET ALIVE.
insects That Continue to Exist After
Decnpitntion.

Decnpitation.
Must persons OF an observing turn OF
mind are aware Of the fact that there
are several species Of insects that will
continue to live without seeming incon-
venlence for some time after decapita-
ton, exact knowledge on the length of
time which the various species of In
sects would survive such mutilation
being somewhat vague.
Professor Conestrini once undertook
series of experiments with view of
determining that and other facts in re-
lation to the wonderful vitality Of such
creatures. In each case the head was
smoothly removed with pair of thin
bladed forceps, and when spontaneous
movements of the wings and legs ceas-
ed he employed sundry irritating de
vices, such as pricking, squeezing and
blowing tobacco smoke over the insect.
AS a result Of these experiments he as
certalned that members of the beetle
family at once showed signs of suffer
ing, while such as ants, bees, wasps,
etc, remained for hours unaffected.
Some which seemed stunned from the
effects Of the operation recovered after
a time and continued to live and enjoy
headless existence for several days
Butterflies and moths seemed but little
affected by the guIllotinlng process, and
the common flies (diptera) appeared to
regard the operation as huge Joke.
"The common house fly" said the ex
perimenter. appeared to be in full pos
session of his senses Crather paradox
zeal. when in all probability the ca
nary had swallowed head, sense and
alb thirty-six hours after being oper
ated upon"
The bodies of some species of butter
flies survived as long as eighteen days
after the head had been removed, but
the head itself seldom showed signs OF
life longer than six hours after decapi
tation. In the general summary OF
these huge experiments we are inform
ed that the last signs Of life were man
ifested either in the middle or last pail
of legs and that the myriopods showed
great tenacity of life "and appeared
wholly Indifferent to the loss of Their
heads"

The Changing Tides.

The most approved theory among sci
entists as to the cause of the rise and
fall of the tide is that the moon is the
dominating cause through its differen-
tial attraction upon the opposite sides
of the earth. drawing the nearer water
away from the earth under the moon
for the production of high water large
and in like manner drawing the earth
away from the opposite waters for the
production OF high water small. The
smaller tidal effect of the suns at
traction becomes noticeable mainly as
modifying the lunar tide, increasing II
in the spring tides and decreasing it al
neaps and further modifying it in thC
priming and tagging Of the tides.

Quick as Lightninr.

Most Wild animals are specialists
that is to say, they are highly develop
ed in one particular direction. The
tiger is great as a stalker. His feet
seem to be "shod with silence" Il. II.
Elliot. for many years resident Of
India. cited an experience of one Of his
neighbors illustrative of this point.
He had been much annoyed by tigers
and at last tied a bullock out in clear.
ing and took up his own position in a
tree to wait till the tiger should come
after the bait. The ground was COW
cred with dried leaves. which in hot
weather are so brittle that even the
walking of bird over them can be
heard for n good distance
In no very long time a large tiger
slipped out of the forest and slowly
edged toward the bullock. His method
was so elaborate and careful that the
man who saw II used to declare that
1t would have been worth 1000 rupees
to any young sportsman TO have wit
messed It.
so carefully did he put down each
paw ana so grauually dlu ne crush tne
leaves under 1t that not sound was
to be heard. Between him and the bull
lock was a stump about four feet high,
with long projecting surface roots.
This, plainly. the tiger looked upon as
n godseud.
He got upon one Of the roots, bal
anced himself carefully and so was
able to walk quickly and silently as
far as the stump. He approached so
gradually and noiselessly and his col
or against the brown leaves was so
invisible that he was close upon the
bullock before he was perceived.
Then instantly the bullock charged.
The tiger eluded him and In n moment
more had his paws on the bullock's
neck ready to drag him down. Then,
like fash, he caught sight of the
rope by which the bullock was tied
and turned and sprang into the forest,
all so quickly that the man in the tree
had no opportunity TO fire.

Death warning.

Oliver Wendell Holmes recorded his
protest against the custom Of telling a
person who does not actually ask to
know that he cannot recover. AS that
loving observer of mankind asserted, so
must every one who knows whereof he
speaks assert that people almost al
ways come to understand that recovery
is impossible. 1t is rarely Deedfui TO
tell any one that this is the case. When
nature gives the warning death appears
to be as little feared as sleep.
