THE HIPP0P0TAMUs.
How the Animal Is Captured Alive In
the Sudan.

the Sudan.
There is a vast difference between
the hunter who kills for pleasure and
the hunter whose business it is to cap
ture his quarry alive. How live hip
popotamuses are secured is particularly
interesting Two methods are resort
ed to.
The so called hawaii. or water hunt
ers. of the Sudan. all of whom are ex-
cellent and daring swimmers, harpoon
their victims at the noon hour, when
they are sunk In deep slumber. Then
they pull them to the bank by means
of cord attached to the harpoon and
there make them fast. The hunters
use for this special Kind of harpoon,
made in such way that II does not
make deep wound. Fully three
quarters of the appropriateness ex-
hibited in Europe have been captured
in this way.
Hippopotamus hunts are also con-

! where it can guard them better against
| danger. But in spite of its affection
| for its children the mother hippo has
no particular desire to meet danger
when it comes. So the hunters dig
| large pits in the forest. cover them
over until they are fully concealed and
| then lie in wait near by. Presently Il
| female hippopotamus comes along
| with her child trottins before her.
Suddenly. without warning, the young
| one disappears before its mothers
eyes. This is too much for the old ami
mai. She dashes away. leaving the
little one at the mercy of its enemies.

CIRCUS PERFORMERS.
The Real Dangers With Which They
Are Concerned

The Real Dangers With Which They
Are Concerned.
The individual point of view of the
circus performer toward his work is
full of surprises. Rarely if ever is he
worried over the things that the audi
enee magines make him uneasy and
never about his own equipment of
nerve, muscle and judgment.
The bareback rider worries about
his horse. for the slightest deviation
from the animals customary course
and gait ruins harmony between
horse and rider. upon which depends
the success and even the life of the
performer. The man on the trapeZe
is not at all disturbed at being so high
up in the air. The higher up he is the
more security he feels that in case of
accident he will have time enough in
stinctively to twist his body into the
right position for falling into the net
What worries him most is the fear OF
some unsupported weakness in his ap
paratus.
The animal trainer Is more afraid OF
an accidental scratch from good ma
tured but blood poisoning claw than OF
any actual conflict with an angry AMI
NAL. More than that. he has real at
fcction for his animals and dislikes the
stern necessity of Furnishing them. Tn
very clown is not so much pleased by
the laughter of his audience as dis
turbed by the thought that it quite
fails to appreciate the time and carr
he has expended in working out The

Evidence

Perfect health depends upon the
perfect condition of the different
organs OF the body, but OF all these
organs none is called upon to per-
iotm as important task as the
Kidneys. They are required TO do
the great work OF acting as filters
for the blood. That is why SO many
serious ailments result from i'm
pared condition of the Kidneys.
As an example of how serious
weakened or diseased Kidneys
may result, statistics show that
during the year of 1908 in the state
OF New York alone more than
10000 deaths were the result of
Bright's Disease. Bright's Disease
is caused by diseased Kidneys.

TURKEYS TO COME
 HIGH THIS YEAR
Supply Small and Prices in
 Accordance

CHICAGO, November 1S.-According to the South Water street commission men, the Thanksgiving turkey is like. ly to be an expensive bird this year. The supply, it is said, is smaller than last year, and so the housewife will probably be compelled to pay from % to 30 cents per pound for her purchase. And what makes the situation even worse for her is that the supply of ducks and chickens is also short, and prices have gone up in proportion. It is some consolation to know, however, that there may be plenty of cranberry sauce, for cranberries are more plenti- ful and cheaper than in many years.
 Turkeys this season appeared to have matured slowly, and consequently the supply of full grown birds is consider ably less than last year. Then, too, many of the growers hold back for the higher prices that may be realized dur ing the Christmas holidays. Michigan is about the only state in this section that reports the turkey crop to be up to the average. Illinois, Iowa, Wiscon' sin and Missouri expect short crops. The indications are that the most of the tur. keys this year will come from Texas Arkansas and other sections of the southwest.
