BROKE THE DEER's BACK.
How freed Hunter Escaped From
Threatened Death.

Peter Rindernecht. OF Camp Bailey,
Pa, is still talking of his narrow es.
cape from an infuriated deer, which
be finally killed in an unusual man
ner.
While the other members Of the
camp were away on long drive, Pete,
finding things slow in camp, decided
to do little hunting on his own hook.
Back of the Hinkle farm he jumped
large buck and fired a shot which
made flesh wound The angry deer,
lowering its prongs, made for Pete,
who dropped his rife and climbed the
nearest tree.
The deer paved at the tree, snort
Ing with rage, and Pete thought it a
fine joke until night began to draw
near with the buck still on guard.
Pete yelled for help, but his cries
only echoed through the ravines. 1t
was very cold, and the hunter found
that it would not be long until he
would release his hold on the branches
and fall to the ground.
A desperate plan was determined
upon. Pete weighs close to $50 pounds,
and when the buck, walking around
the tree, was directly beneath him, the
hunter doubled himself up like a ball
and dropped.
He landed right on the bucks back,
breaking its spinal column and
crippling 1t so that the work Of killing
with his hunting knife was easy.

Invlaorate the piuestIon.

To invigorate the digestion and
stimulate the torpid liver and bowels
there is nothing so good as that old
family remedy, Brandreth Pills, which
has been in use for over a century.
They cleanse the blood and impart new
vigor to the body. One or two every
night for a week will usually be all
that is required For Constipation or
Dyspepsia, one or two taken every
night will afford great relief.
Brandreth's Pills are the same fine

adapted to every system.

PETS FOR LITTLE pARisIANs.
All Kinds Of Animals as PIaymates for
the Children.

Children play great role in French
society, as all those who have read
Gyp's inimitable ''P'tit Bob" will read
lily admit, and now the small Par
isienne insists on receiving on her
fete day and at the New Year live
pet, instead of a costly doll or me-
chanical toy. The demand has been
creating supply, and lively trade
is being done, not only in puppies and
kittens, in tiny monkeys and in lambs,
but also in tigers and leopards. Up to
a certain age, these small felines are
quite harmless, and, of course, as soon
as they begin, so to speak, to show
their teeth and sharpen their claws,
they are sent off to one of the two
magnificent "Zoos" with which the
Gay City is provided.

How 10 po Library plvan.

A couch or divan in library is al
ways desirable, and if cover in soft
brown velour is used with pillows of
bright old orange, deep gold and the
varying shades of brown piled on in
profusion, it will be an artistic addi-
ton to the room.
The pillows, many of which should
be put on the couch, may be made of
inexpensive pieces of denim, canvas
and burlap, any one of which comes
in tones of yellow and brown that
will be effective Just for contrast
one or two handsome cushions should
be used in the pile. A striking one
of golden silk, with deep brown ruff
fie. or finished with a cord and tassel,
would be attractive, as would be also
a lemon colored silk pillow, with
touch of old orange at the corners.

PROPER CARE OF THE SINK.
Precautions That Are Absolutely Nee
essary to Health.

All wood should be removed from
sink, according to Good Housekeep
ing, and replaced with a porcelain
sink, back and sides; that being too
expensive, then use slate, zinc or cop
per. The material should be absolute
ly impervious to moisture and with
out paint, which only wears off and
leaves an untidy surface. Modern
plumbers use iron instead of lead
pipes almost entirely, and yet, by
care, the old lead ones may continue
to serve. Frequent flushing of the
sink is an absolute necessity for per-
feet freedom from danger. 1t should
be done with very hot water, but fol
lowed by a little cold water, lest the
heat cause a vacuum and draw the
water off the trap, leaving it open for
gases to escape through the outlet of
the sink. The treatment should be
applied to every fixture in a house
after the cleansing process.
