Animals Toilet.

Cats, large and small, make the
most careful toilet of any class of
animal, excepting some of the opos-
sums. The lions and tigers wash
themselves in exactly the same
manner as the cat, wetting the dark
india rubber-like ball of the fore foot
and inner toe and passing it over
the face and behind the ears. The
foot is thus at the same time face
sponge and brush, and the rough
tongue combs the rest of the body.
Hares also use their feet to wash
their faces, and the hare's foot is so
Suitable for the brush that it is
used to apply the paint" to the

The custom of presidents of the
United States reading their mes
sages to congress prevailed up to the
first term of Thomas Jefferson, who
discontinued it. Various explana-
tions for Jefferson's departure from
the custom of Washington and John
Adams have been advanced, the
most popular being that Jefferson
felt that it savored of royalty, see
ing that the king of England went
in person to parliament and read his
address from the throne. Another
explanation was that Jeferson's
voice was notably weak. Jefferson
himself said in making the change,

convenience of the legislature, to
the economy of time, to their relief
from the embarrassment of imme-
date answers on subjects not yet

fits thence resulting to the public

Profitable Desperation.

A certain Mr.. Davies, who began
life as sawyer and carpenter and
whose honesty and industry carried
him on to wealth as a railway con-
tractor, sunk all his money in bor-
ing for coal, no coal being found.
Then he called Il large meeting of
his miners and told them that he
had spent the earnings of his life
in the speculation and would have
to abandon it. Holding up a half
crown, he declared that that was all
he had left of 100000 which he had
sunk in the mine. \ fellow called
out, "And we'll have that too" $50
YOU SHALL" cried Davies, and threw
the coin among them. This bit of
desperation so delighted the men
that they straightway determined
to 90 to work again, wages or no
wages. In a few days they found
excellent coal and plenty of it, and
Davies was again rich man.

Home MADE MIXTURE
SAID TO BE INEXPENSIVE AND
EASILY PREPARED BY ANYONE.
Is Said to Promptly Relieve Backache
and Overcome Kidney Trouble and
Bladder Weakness, Though
Harmless, and Pleasant
to Take.

What will appear very interesting to
many people here is the article taken
from New York daily paper, giving a
simple prescription, as formulated by a
noted authority, who claims that he
has found a positive remedy to cure
almost any case of backache or kidney
or bladder arrangement, in the follow
ing simple prescription, If taken before
the stage of Bright's disease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, onehalf
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce !;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Shake well in a bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A well-known authority, when asked
regarding this prescription, stated that
the ingredients are all harmless, and
can be obtained at a small cost from
any good prescription pharmacy. or the
mixture would be put up il asked to do
so. He further stated that while this
prescription is often prescribed in
rheumatism Affections with splendid
results, he could see no reason why il
would not be a splendid remedy fol-
kidney and urinary troubles, and back
ache, as it has peculiar action upon
the kidney structure, cleansing these
most important organs and helping
them to sift and filter from the blooc
foul acids and waste matter which
causes sickness and suffering. Those
who suffer can make no mistake in
giving 1t a trial.
