1t is not words, but deeds-thatlprove

The deeds of Doan's Kidney Pills,

ROBINS AT 1Oc. A DOZEN.
$1,000 OF THEM HAVE BEEN SLAUGA-
TERED IN ONE TENNESSEE TOWN.

loO,O 900 OF THEM HAVE BEEN SLAUGA.
TERED IN ONE TENNESSEE TOWN.
Robins are numerous at Lotion,
Tenn, and are "selling readily on the
local market at 10 cents a dozen," ac
cording to Murfreesborro special te
the Nashville Americon. 1t should be
explained that the robins are not SC
numerous as they used to be, for the
fact that they sell for 10 cents dozen
has induced many men and boys to
engage in the wholesale slaughter oi
the birds.
Thousands of the robins, the specia
slys, gather in the cedars to roost, and
hunting parties go in the night and
capture and kill them in large num-
bers. One party caught 1000 birds in
one night. One hunter caught 377
birds in one tree. 1t is estimated that
100000 have been killed within the last
three weeks. 1t is great sport-and
the robins sell for 10 cents a dozen.
That is the way in which wild bird
life is being protected in some parts of
this great country.
The robin is a beautiful and harm
less bird. He is an indefatigable de-
stroyer of insect pests. Any one who
has ever watched him on a lawn can
testify to his industry in searching out
bugs and worms, and his capacity for
putting them where they can do no
harm. If there is cherry tree handy
he will visit it occasionally, but he
much prefers to forage after living
things. He is cheerful, happy bird,
and rather likes to make himself handy
around the premises, rearing family
the while in the boughs of the old
apple tree. He is not much of a sing
er so far as the quality of his music
goes, but he is always willing to give
you a sample of the best he can do in
that line, and the effect is not unplea-
SAINT to the human ear. In fact, tie
robin is an allround good fellow, and
Is always ready to be friendly and ses-
viceable if given half chance.
1t is to be regretted that our neigh
bors in Tennessee are not giving the
robin even half a chance, but are muir
dering him in cold blood. There really
seems to be no reason for it except that
robins are worth 10 cents dozen. That
also would seem to be about the proper
market quotation for men who engage
in slaughter, either for pleasure or
profit.-Louisville Courier-JOurnal.

WHAT is YOUR DISPOSITION .
ACCORDING TO OPHRENOLoGISTS, COLOR
OF HAIR HAS LOT TO DO WITH IT.

ACCORDING TO OPHRENOLoGISTS, COLOR
OF HAIR HAS LOT TO DO WITH 1T.
Few people know that the color of a
woman's hair as given her by nature
not by peroxide, henna and the like
is decidedly more than matter OF
beauty and harmony with the char
acter.
According to the phrenologist, who
closely considers every part of the hui
man body in connection with charac-
ter; the color of the hair is a distinct
betrayer Of ones disposition, and men
tai and moral capacity.
Thus straight black hair that grows
course and thick is supposed to belong
to the woman who is industrious, Or
derby, but will never set the world on
fire with her mental capacity. Straight
hair, moreover, indicates greater power
to rule others than usually belongs TO
the envied curly head.
Auburn hair. though not generally
known, is said to denote a kindly, SYM
pathetic nature; but give one or two
tones deeper and the red-headed sister
will be hot-tempered, domineering and
jealous.
Fine, glossy brown hair with chest
nut hues is thought to accompany an
acute mind, and usually the,owner has
strong intellectual tastes.
Curly black hair is supposed to in
dicate an intense, passionate nature,
with touch of coarseness.
Drab or dun-colored hair usually
means a commonplace, nondescript,
colorless person, without strong likes
or dislikes, and with small capacity
for friendship.
Pure golden hair means ideality. 1t
is rarely found on women of gross ma
ture-unless bought-and its owner
usually has fine sensibilities and is a
lover of music and arts.

Caring for the brood mare Is no

When the foal is on its feet see that
it nurses properly. If it cannot take

let the mares udder become hard and

SHARKS EYE WAS ON HIM.

AND THE SKIPPER GOT A SHOCK
WHICH HE THINKS WAS MEsMERIC.
"Ever get mesmerized by fish ?''
said the skipper in the New York Sun.
"No? Well, [ have been many time.
1t was shark that did it.
81 don't know the scientific name OF
this particular variety of shark, but ii
abounds in the Nantucket shoals.
When full grown they are from eight
to ten feet long, and weigh from 500 to
700 pounds. They have broad head,
with the mouth well under it. They
have saw teeth, five rows of them,
about an inch and a half long, and
they can fiatten the lot and chew their
gums. But for human being the
peril is in the eyes.
81 don't believe in man-eating.sharks.
| believe that if shark is in bloody
water he gets excited and will snap at
anything he sees, but let one of those
fellows get his eye on you and you don't
know where you are at
"They have habit of coming up
alongside of your live boxes and lying
there while you fish. Then when you
get anything on your line, the shark
has 1t off before you get chance to
pull.
81 remember the first time saw one
of them. l was a boy at the time, and
one of these fellows had come up along
side of my box and put my hand out
and touched its back. He didn't seem
to mind it at all, but a minute later
when | stood up and caught sight of
his eyes, or one of them-well, sir, 1
just tumbled back in the boat and was
as helpless as a jelly-fish out of water.
81 don't know how to explain it.
The eyes of this fish are no bigger than
the point of your little finger, but there
is something that comes out of them
that makes you tumble all in a heap.
Many time after that did L have a
similar experience, and l know of lot
of men who have felt the same effect.
The only explanation L could suggest
is that the sharks eye has some sort of
power"

Duties of a Royal Chef.

Some of the kings of the kitchens in
the big New York hotels would scorn
to even consider the salary with which
King Edwards chief chef is quite con-
tent. However, the position of head
chef to the King of England carries
with it more than the paltry salary of
$40, 900 per year in the distinction at
tached to the post and the many prac-
tical advantages that go with it.
nj. Menager, who holds forth in the
royal kitchens across the water, is him
self almost a royal parsonage in the
power and dignity he enjoys. He does
not live in Buckingham Palace, but is
furnished with a handsome private
residence nearby; and, unless some spe-
cial State banquet is ON hand, he rare
ly goes to his duties until 1870 or II a.
M. His first care is to inspect the
lunch menu for that day which has
been prepared in advance by his first
a Assistant, and, that matter being set
tied satisfactorily, he turns to similar
study of next mornings breakfast.
The really big work of the day comes
in planning the dinner for the succeed
ing day, for the dinner card for the
royal table always is mapped out "A
hours in advance, and here is task
that demands two or three hours de-
voted work. There is special kitch-
EN- in the palace reserved solely for
Menager's use, and here, when the
creative spell is ON him, he spends
hours working ON the details of new
dishes and sauces. He is said some
times to work on new entree for
months before he finally decides to put
it on the menu.
