ONLY AS OLD AS SHE LOOKS
Woman Of To-Day Retains Youthful
ness Longer Than Her Grand
mother Did.

Women in Switzerland grow old
more gracefully than any of the other
women in Europe, according to a let
ter to the Emporia (Kan.) Gazette.
That does not mean that women who
work hard in youth and sap their lives
out before they are 80 are pretty.
Not even American women of that
type are beautiful Perhaps it means
that, owing to social and economic
conditions, women do not have to
wear themselves out as their mothers
did, and hence they are beautiful in
their forties and fifties. It may be
pertinent to digress here ard present
this query: Are not women the world
over, as rule, adding decade to
their years of youth? 1t does seem
that there are more handsome women
between 80 and So than there were
25 years ago. Or perhaps a boy in
his teens isn't so charitable to the
minor failings of woman in her for
ties as man is in his forties. But
discounting the pride of youth, 1t
does seem that to-day, all over the
world. the woman whose family in
come is between $40 and $1,000 a
week-a wide range, surely-this
woman retains her youthful fresh
ness and charm longer than her
grandmother retained hers. Labor
saving machinery seems to have done
that much for the woman in general
everywhere in civilization.

Sly Old Bird is the cassowary, Ae-
cording to Observations Made
by Naturalist.

Habi,s CT the cormorant and of our
native 1sa hawk are generally known.
Their methods az taking fish are very
much ike those of birds OF prey. But
the casaowary fishes according to a
method OF it's own. A well-known nat
uralist witnessed it's operations on q
river in the island of New Britain.
He saw a cassowary come down to
the waters edge and stand for some
minutes apparently watching the wa
ter carefully. 1t then stepped into the
river where It was about three feet
deep, and partially squatting down,
spread it's wings out, submerging
them, the feathers being spread
and ruffled.
The bird remained motionless. and
kept its eyes closed as If in sleep. 1t
remained in this position for a quar-
ter of an hour, when suddenly closing
its wings and Strengthening its feath-
ers it stepped out on the bank. Here
is shook itself several times, where
upon a quantity of small fishes fell
out of its wings and from amid its
feathers. These the bird Immediately
picked up and swallowed.
The fishes had evidently mistaken
the feathers for a kind of weed that
grows in the water along the banks
of the rivers in this island and which
resembles the feathers of the casso-
wary. The smaller fishes hide in these
weeds to avoid the larger ones that
prey on them.

500 REWARD, 500,

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages,
and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity. Ca
tarrh being a constitutional dis
ease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the found
alton of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The proprietors have
SO much faith in its curative powers
that they offer One Hundred Dol
lars for any case that it fails to cure.
