The WAYS Of Moles.

Among common animals few have
been less studied in their life history
than the mole. An English natural
ist, Mr.. Lionel e. Adams, says that
under the fortress" which the mole
constructs above the surface Of the
ground will always be found series
of tunnels running out beneath the
adjacent field. A curious feature al
most invariably found is perpendic-
ular run penetrating about foot be-
low the bottom of the nest and then
turning upward to meet another run
A mole is never found in his nest. al
though it may be yet warm from his
body when opened. Guided by smell
and hearing. mole frequently locates
the nest of Il partridge or pheasant
above his run and, penetrating it from
below, eats the eggs. The adult mole
is practically blind. but there are EN-.
bryonic indications that the power of
sight in the race has deteriOrated.

To the readers of the Eagle: The
GirouX Mfg. Co.. American makers of
Partisan Sage, wish to state that they
do not guarantee Partisan Sage to
grow hair on bald heads. because in
most cases the hair root is dead In
the case Of Mr. Armstrong the hair
root was not dead and knowing as we
do the ASTONISHING hair growing virtue
f Partisan Sage, We see no reason why
it should not grow hair on the head
of Mr. Armstrong.
But We do guarantee Partisan Sage
(and so does +. J. Jenkins) to stop
falling hair, dandruf, and itching
scalp, in two weeks, or money back.
Partisan Sage is a daintily perfumed
hair dressing, not sticky or greasy,
and is used extensively by ladies who
desire brilliant and luxuriant hair that
attracts and fascinates.
