Found Nail in His Skull.

Z -
"A remarkable discovery was made
by the surgeons of Williamsburg Hos
pital while they were operating..:on
the skull of William v. Albright, who
fell. from the elevated structure being
erected across the Brooklyn: plaza OF
the Williamsburg Bridge. The sur
geon came across a hard substance
Embedded in the skull and closer ex.
animation disclosed it to be the head
of nail. 1t proved to be nail fully
three inches long, which had peRe-
trated the brain.
q The associates Of Albright say he
has had remarkable career since he
became an iron worker. He has had
several 80 and 40 feet falls, and one
81 foot fall from a New Liverpool
bridge. One time he fell 100 feet
from bridge, in Pennsylvania into
the water and was nearly drowned be-
fore hauled ashore.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Feeding Horses With Cotton Seed
Meal and Hulls.

Columbia, S. c., Special.-Experi-
ments in every part Of the South
show that Cotton Seed Meal and
Hulls, when properly fed to horses
and mules makes the finest and cheap
est feed: in the world. Maj. Henry c.
Hammond Of Augusta, Ca, is writing
about feeding some of his after tell
ing about the time when his two colts
were born, he says:
cat that time oats were about
$4,000 per ton, and corn about $4,000.
I began feeding my mares on these ex-
pensive grains, ground with little
cottonseed meal busted in. They took
to it all right, and before the colts
we're six weeks old they were nibbling
at their mothers feed. Since more
colts have come. The oldest are now
five years old, and none Of them have
ever passed q day in their lives with
out eating some cottonseed meal.
They have never been out Of fix. The
older ones weigh LOO pounds and
are 16 hands high-decidedly larger
than dams OF sire. They have carried
me so miles a day without breathing
deep. Here is a clean-cut, decisive,
example of cottonseed meal as COM
ponent part Of a horses ration. 1
will simply add to the ABOVE testi-
mony that for the past five years my
stable has consisted Of ten pleasure
and work animals-one, a mule,
could pull a lion out Of his den and
every one of them have been fed
daily with pound or more ofcotton-
seed meal. I have never had a sick
one in that time, or one that was not
ready for work. I have had the good
fortune to win some "blue ribbons. "

A JAPANESE STORY.

Once upon time, q very sttngy
priest lived in a temple with young
disciple. One day he received from
neighbor a present Of some ankor
omochi (rice dumplings covered With
sweetened bean paste). He was just
going on, and not wishing to share
the sweetmeats with his disciple, he
hid them; in Buddah's shrine in the
Hondo (the main hall Of the temple).
But the boy knew Of the present,
found the ankoromochi and ate 1t all
but little Of the paste, which he
smeared about the mouth of the image
of Buddha. Then with an innocent
countenance he waited the return of
his master. Soon the priest came
back, and with pleasant anticipations
went Immediately to the shrine to
get his sweetmeats, but found moth
ng except the empty box. OF course,
he suspected the boy, and was very
angry. Calling him, the master said,
What have you done with my ankor-
omochi?" The disciple replied, Teach
er, know nothing about it, but a
few. minutes before you came back !
heard sounds in the direction of the
Hondo, and think if we will go there
we will learn something about the an
koromochf Please let US CO." So the
priest went again to the Hondo, and
this time. he perceived the bean paste
around the mouth of the image Of
Buddha. When he saw that he was
sure the god had eaten his mochi, and
was very angry, and struck the image
with his stick. AS it was made Of
metal, when struck it give hollow
sound, "Kwan, kwan." The Japanese
word for 81 do not eat" has the same
sound exactly, explains Agnes Nor
gan in an exchange, so the priest took
this for denial on the part of the
god, and his anger increased. Shout
ing, "You rascal, you must have eaten
1t! Look at your mouth. There is
bean paste all around it, yet you deny
having eaten it," He dragged down
the image and throwing it into a large
kettle boiled it over a hot fire. Then
the god confessed, "Kutta, kuttai"
This word represents the sound made
by the bubbling of boiling water, also
the word for ~ did eat Home Her

WHAT is PE-RU-NA?.
Is it a catarrh Remedy, or a
Tonic, or is it Both?

B0I1lG, Ut Is u bOIN.
Some people call Peruna a great
tonic. Others refer to Peruns as 6
great catarrh remedy.
Which Of these people are right?
Is it more proper to call Peruna a ca.
tarrh remedy than to call it "a tonic?
Our reply is, that Peruna is both q
tonic and a catarrh remedy. Indeed,
there can be no effectual catarrh rem.
edy that is not also tonic.
In order to thoroughly relieve any
case of catarrh, g remedy must not
only have q specific action on the mu-
cous membranes affected by the ca
tarrh, but 1t must have a general tonic
action on the nervous system.
Catarrh, even In persons who are
otherwise strong, ia a weakened con.
dition Of some mucous membrane.
There must be something to strength,
en- the circulation, to give tone to the
arteries, and to raise the vital forces
Perhaps no vegetable remedy in the
world has attracted so much attention
from medical writers as HYDRASTIS
GANADENSIS. The wonderful eff.
cacy Of this herb has been recognized
many years, and is growing in its hold
upon the medical profession. When

From theoretical standpoint, there.

use of Peruna, confirms this opinion.
