the total destruction of the wild cat
1t has been reported that there are at

that they have killed chickens. A

may be observed, however, that the

cause him to either reform, and confine
himself to a diet of insects, or join the

provides a bounty of 10 cents each for

more suitable to his convenience.

Belgian territory teens with memories
and associations of Incompatible rich

modern creation. On its soil, how
ever, there have been wrought out
some Of the most tremendous cataclys-
mic episodes of history. The Roman
legions Numbered over Its wooded
slopes. 1t drank the blood Of unnum-
bered patriots under. Spanish rule 1t
witnessed the barbarities Of Alva and
his black-browed torture-mongers. 1t
saw, upon the field Of Waterloo, the
downfall of the most marvellous man
who ever trod the earth and who
forced the haughtiest Of kings and

THE WELL DRESSED MAN.

Possession of Many Suits Doesn't
Entit1e Ono to that Distinction.
Wall streets reported rivalry in the
selection Of the best dressed man is
very interesting as an experiment,
says. Harper's Weekly. Eighty-three
and seventy-six, respectively, are said
to be the numbers OF the suits Of
clothes possessed by two of the COM
petitors. The mere accumulation,
though, of articles Of dress is no point
gained. A man may have a suit for
each day in the year and not find
three that look well On him. Any one,
indeed, who has the knack of wearing
clothes and is prepared for an ex-
penditure Of $500 annually, may
safely enter into competition with the
millionaire whose wardrobe knows no
limits. Fashion leaders Of the past
have seldom had the wealth Of their
associates.
An estimate of what the well-to-do
society man disburses yearly on his
dress has recently been made out by
woman who maintains that men
spend just as much this way as
women Eleven thousand three hun
dred dollars Is her estimate, obtained
through different firms that each sup
piled list of items bought by male
customer within the year. OF these
the hosler's bill is heaviest, with a
total Of $3.50; next the tailor's, of
$3.50. A $500 motor suit is inclu-
sive Of the chauffeur's wages, also
garage and cleaning. Five hundred
and fifty dollars buys the boots. Hats
are $16O. Sticks and umbrellas cost
$500.
What Is the secret OF the well dress
ed man? Beau Brummel, although, of
course, particular about his clothes,
did not by any means rely upon them
exclusively for the appearance which
he made. Fresh linen and lots of 1t,
with very little jewelry, and strict at
tention to details-thar was his idea.
The well dressed man, indeed, must
have some character. He does not
easily submit to the dictation Of his
tailor. For If he does, ne will be apt
to Judge garment on its merits,
without considering sufficiently II It

The tonsils are two collections of
gland-llke structures at the back part
of the mouth, one on each side, be-
tween the pillars Of the palate. 1t Is
not known what purpose they serve
Some have supposed that they arrest
the germs Of disease which may be in
hailed or taken in with the food. but
they evidently can catch very few Of
the germs which rapidly pass them in
the food or water or in the air which
is inhaled; and it is well they cannot,
for they are themselves very suscept-
ible to disease, as some sufferers know
to their sorrow. Others have thought
they serve an evil purpose, acting as
portals Of entry for many disease.
germs into the body.
The tonsils are very liable to be-
come infamed. This condition consti-
tutes tonsilitis, or, when an abscess
forms, quinsy. Young persons, over
fifteen and under thirty, are most sub
ject to inflammation of the toRsils, al
though children and even those well
along in life may suffer. 1t occurs
with special frequency In those whose
tonslls are enlarged, and usually in
persons who are run down" In gen
eral health, or in whom the power Of
resistance has been lowered as a re.
suit Of worry or overexertlon. The
extra study In preparing for diff
cult examination In school or college
and the anxiety concerning the result
not uncommonly bring on an attack of
quinsy, especially In those of social
ed rheumatic tendency.
There are various kinds of tonsllli-
tbs, but the symptoms of all are quite
similar in the beginning. The patient
feels Ill, has chilly sensations, loss of
appetite, more or less headache, per-
haps, constipation, feverishness, and a
feeling Of discomfort or actual pain
In the throat. Soon the fever becomes
high the throat Is dry, swallowing Is
painful, there Is often more or less
earache, and the patient seems to be
seriously ILL., Suppuration may or may
not occur. The pain and throbbing
are most severe when 1t does.
The attack lasts usually from two or
three days to a week, and Is apt to
terminate quite suddenly, although IL
but one tonsil has been affected, re-
covery may be delayed by an extern
sion Of the Inflammation to the other
tonsil. In that case the whole tire
