Expert Whip Crackers.

cabby or trucker is as proud of his
whip crackin' ability as young man is
Of his drinkin' powers. There amt
no driver livin' what can crack whip
like Frenchman. Walkin' along the
streets of Paris is like walkin' through
battle-on every side, bang, crack
biff, go the whips. The thing makes
you mad. 1t scares you. It's as if a
gun was continually bein' shot off
alongside Of your ear. But at the com,

Yes, sir, toon. I've heard 'em. I've

Verdict for DR.. Pierce
AGAINST THE
Ladies' Home Journal.

Sending truth after lie. It is an old
maxim that "a lie will travel seven
leagues while truth is getting it's boots
on" and no doubt hundreds of thousands
OF good people read the unwarranted and
malicious attack upon DR.. r. V. Pierce

in the May Q9O4) number of the Ladies'
Home Journal, with it's great black dis
play headings, who never saw the hum
BILE, groveling retraction, with it's incon-
spicuous heading, published two months
later. 1t was boldly charged in the sland-
erous and libelous article that DR.. Pierce's

Woman's weaknesses and ailments, con-
tanned alcohol and other harmful ingredi-
entS. DR.. Pierce promptly brought suit
against the publishers of the Ladies'
Home Journal, for 5000, 10000 damages.
DR.. Pierce alleged that Mr.. Box, the
editor, maliciously published the article
containing such false and defamatory
matter WITH the intent of injuring his
business Furthermore. that no alcohol, or
other Injurious, or habit-forming, drugs
are, or over were, contained in his ,rFa-

water Pipes and Free.ine.

Housekeepers as a rule do not. under
stand why it. Is the hot water pipv
is the first to freeze in very cold weaut
er. They think that it ought to; be tha
other way around-that hot waite
ought to withstand the low tempers
ture longer than cold water will. Thas
does seem reasonable, but little IL
vestigation shows us that it is not. Hot
water freezes more quickly than cold
water for several reasons. In the first
place, the boiling of water expels the
air from it, and water will not freeze
until it has parted with Its air.. In the
second place, there Is always slight
agitation on the surface Of hot water,
and this promotes congelation by as
sisting the crystals to change their po-
sition until they assume that most ia
vorable to solidifcation. Then the
particles in hot water divide into small
er globules by reason of the heat, and
less resistance is therefore offered to
the cold than in cold water.

Buying Birds to Free Them.

Birds are often purchased in the bird
market at Lucknow, India, in order to
be set free again. This is done by Hin.
docs as work Of merit and by Mo.
hammedans after certain rites have
been performed as an atonement, in
Imitation Of the Jewish scapegoat. It
is essential that bird used for this
purpose should be strong enough to fly
away; but that does not induce the
cruel dealers to feed the birds, or to
refrain from dislocating their wings or
breaking their legs. They put down
everything to good or bad luck, and
leave the customer to choose strong
bird, If he can find one and to go away
If he cannot. The merit obtained by
setting a bird free is not attributed to
Deity, but it is supposed to come in a
large measure from the bird itself or
from its attendant spirit, and hence
birds of good or bad omen, and es-
pecially kites and crows, are in much
demand and are regularly caught to be
sold for this purpose.

Called Suddenly.

Monday afternoon. George Daskam,
near Kendallville, was called home.
He had been ailing somewhat for q
week or more. but was scarcely called
sick, and no one thought of anythi ng
serious. He had recently bought a
new farm and Monday forenoon took a
load of household goods to what was
to be the new home; but not feeling
well his son took the load in the after
noon and he staid home. Toward
evening, as he sat in his chair, he
simply grew faint. leaned over and
was gone. His trouble had been
neuralgia, and it is thought possibly
the disease seized .theIheart. He
leaves wife, one son and two daugh.
tiers. besides large number of rela-
tives and large circle If friends.
The funeral occurs this afternoon, at
Kendallville, and interment will be in
Kendallville cemetery. -Cresco Re-

Correct Way to Make Pancakes.

make good buckwheat pancakes. but

cock is an extremely modest man in
most respects, but he is free to admit
that he never ate any buckwheat cakes
that are quite IS good as those made
on his plan He bakes them regularly
every morning at his house during the
winter months, and they are so popu-
lar in his neighborhood that all other
recipes have been discarded. First
