Charming Away TIaers.

No woodcutter will go about his
task in the Indian forests unless he
is accompanied by fakir, who is sup.
posed to exercise power over tigers
and wild animals generally.
Before work is commenced the fakir
assemblies all the members of his
party in a clearance at the edge of the
forest and erects a number of huts,
in which he places images of certain
delties. After offerings have been
presented to the images the particu-
lar forest is declared to be free of
tigers, and the woodcutters, in vir.
tue of the presents they have made
to the deities, are supposed to be un.
der their special protection.
If after all these precautions a
tiger seizes one of the party the fakir
speedily takes his departure without
waiting to offer superhuous explana-

A Use for Snakes.

Snakes. for all we know, may be
useful things. Upon the Island of ia.
maica the Indian mongoose was
turned loose, and this form Of ferret
soon killed out all the snakes-just as
the Jamaicans had planned-but ticks
got so thick that much grazing land
was useless. Apparently the ticks had
been held down by snakes. Worse
still, after running out snakes. the
mongoose began on birds eggs. All
this biological balance is a new and
difficult branch Of science which is
little understood.

fled with the Medicine We Rec
OmMend.

We are so positive that our remedy will
permanently relieve constipation, no mat
ter how chronic ii may be, that we offer
to furnish the medicine at our expense
should it fail to produce satisfactory re-
suits.
II is worse than useless to attempt to
cure constipation with cathartic drugs.
Laxatives or eathartics do much harm.
They cause a reaction, irritatc and weaken
the bowels and tend to make constipation
more chronic. Besides, their use becomes
habit that is dangerous.
Constipation is caused by weakness of
the nerves and muscles OF the large intes-
tines or descending colon. To expect per-
manent relief you must therefore tone up
and strengthen these organs and restore
them to healthier activity.
The discovery Of the active principle OF
our remedy involved the labor OF the
worlds greatest research chemists. Asan
active agent il possesses the valuable quail
tiles Of the best known intestinal tnBies
as well as being particularly pleasal and
prompt in its results.
We want you to try RexaIl Orderlies on
our recommendation. They are exceed
ingly pleasant to take, being eaten like
candy, and are ideal for children, delicate
persons and old folks, as well as for the
robust. They act directly on the nerves
and muscles OF the bowels. They appar-
emily have neutral action on other asso-
ciate organs or glands. They do not
purge, cause excessive Iooseness nor Gre
ate any Inconvenience whatever. They
may be taken at any time, day or night.
They will uoeitiVeIv relieve cbronfo or
habitual constipation, il not OF surgical
variety, and the myriads OF associate or
dependent chronic ailments, IL taken
with regularity for a reasonable length OF
time. They come in two sizes OF pack
ages, II tablets, 10 cents; SO tablets, rs

SMALL FARMS OF PORTUGAL
Their Division Into DimInutive Por-
lions Due to Survival of Anti.
quated System.

The Portuguese are an extremely
conservative people. Every man fol
lows rigidly the methods employed by
his father and foXefathers In very
many parts of the country the old
wooden plows are still used.
When a man dies. instead of one
OF the heirs taking the whole property
and paying the remaining heirs for
their parts the whole property is d.
vided into as many parts as there are
heirs. More than this. each separate
part OF the property is thus divided.
Thus If a property consists of 10
acres Of pasture land, so of vineyard
and 10 Of grain land and there were
10 heirs each heir would receive one
acre each Of grain and pasture land
and eight acres of vineyard. This
process has been going on for very
long time, so that now in the most
fertile part of Portugal the land is
divided into incredibly small portions.
The immediate result of this is that
the product of the land is barely suf.
ficient at best to sustain its owners.
South of the river Tagus, on the other
hand, there are enormous tracts of
excellent land lying unused, but it has
been found impossible to induce the
farmers Of the north to move into this
region and take up large holdings.

in THE MARRIAGE LOTTERY
Many Reasons Advanced Justifyina
Advice to Lonely Man to
Marry a Widow.

Passing from these higher emotions
OF the soul. there remain many and
numerous practical reasons for marry
ing a widow, says a writer in the
Washington Post. In the first place
she knows man, all his little weak
nesses and foibles. She makes allow
ances for them, and even INDUCES the
poor fellow In his more harmless fol-
lies, just as the experienced trainer
from time to time gives the colt the
rein. There is a wisdom in this that
the young thing just graduated from
an unbroken course of ice cream, soda
water and theater parties might well
desire TO possess; it would save many
a rude shock in beginning the stern
realities of married existence Another
thing, she can cook. No / may have
lived 70 eat the flaky biscuit and IN
improbable pastry of her making, but
1t Is doubtful whether he was ever
able TO enjoy them. BY the time she
had mastered the art bis Indigestion
had become irreparabiy damaged. he
could only look and long and return
to dry toast and tea In a thousand
little ways the second husband was
the beneficiary and could uuthfully
acknowledge that dear Johns loss was
his own great gain. All Of the testl-
mony, however, is not of this charac.

widow just as easily as through the

No Foul Play.


The inquest on the death Of Burt Mercy
OF Berkshire, aged 81, whose dead body
was found the morning OF March Z on the
track Of the Canadian Pacific railway Just
at the international boundary line. was
held in Riehtord. The evidence showed
that the dead man was one OF party Of
five who were at the aeut, so called,
half way between the line house and
Richford Sunday evening, and that he
wandered from his companions, could
not be found that evening, and probably
wandered onto the tracks after the pass
ing OF the 1910 p. m. train that evening
and was struck by northbound freight
train, probably about II or II O'Clock.
The people OF Richford became suspi-
eious by reason Of two things and asked
for an investigation. The first point was
that one of the party of five was in the
village in the evening in partly intoxi-
Gated condition, hourishing an axe that
belonged to the dead man, and threaten
ing assaults, II he did not actually at
tempt an assault. But the evidence
showed that the axe was taken from him
at an hour when it was proven that the
man, Hurt Mercy, was alive, and kept by
a responsible person until morning. The
other point was that except for one small
bloodstain on the ground where the head
of the man laid when he was found, there
was no trace Of blood where Inc accident
occurred.
