an acquaintance with thanks on one

| Giboias Are Used as Domestic r.:
Catchers In Brazil.
In certain parts of Brazil. where the
climate is intensely hot and where
rats are great nuisance, the common
cat does not thrive. but is replaced by
domestic rat catcher whose presence
causes decidedly unpleasant sensa-
ton to visitors from the north when
first they come in contact with the
creature.
Giboias are a species of small boa
constructor employed very generally in
Brazil for the purpose above men
toned. They are not at all venomous.
They sleep in the house. generally
taking up their position at the foot of
the stairs. When nightfall approaches
they begin 10 wake up. and during the
night they slide swiftly about the
premises. looking for rats.
Giboias are offered for sale in the
markets Of Bahia and Pernambuco for
prices ranging from ST to So. accord
ing to the size of the creature. 1t Is
said that they are so easily domesti-
Gated that if removed from one house
to another they invariably return to
the house whence they have been
taken. Often when one is bargaining
with q broker for the sale or lease of
a residence in certain parts Of Brazil
the broker will expatiate with great
eloquence upon the virtues and skill
of the giboia that goes with it.-Har-

QUAIL SHOOTING.
'ms OF the Difficulties That Confront

''ms of the Difficulties That Confront
the Man With the Gun.
One of the difficulties of quail
'nootlng lies in the very fact that
would apparently make his killing a
simple proposition. his rising near the
gun says Charles Askin In Outing.
Let me Illustrate: If quail rose
within ten feet of the gun and contin-
ued sailing around the shooters head
at a mile a minute gait the chances
are that he couldn't be killed in ten
shots. both the bird and the gun
changing angle with rapidity beyond
the ability Of the mind to calculate.
IN the same way close springing bird
may change his angle with regard to
the gun so rapidly as to entail a long
ana accurate swing before he can be
covered.

north, pass to the west and be killed
to the south. Had it been possible to
foresee that the bird would swing

SAILING BACKWARD.
Feats Of seamanship Performed With
Square Riggers.


Square Riggers.
Square rugged ships can, in case of
necessity. be made to sail rudder fore
most. and there are many cases known
where ships have sailed in that re-
versed order. Only a few years ago q
case was recorded Of such backward
sailing.
One instance where the maneuver
was employed by a genius in battle
tactics rather than under the need of
marine disaster is brilliant chapter
In the history Of Old Ironsides. This
account is taken from Maclay's naval
history:
The sternmost ship was observed
luft1ng up so as to take a raking posi-
ton across the Constitutions stern.
Mindful of his danger. Captain Stew
art suddenly braced his main and miz-
zen topsails fat to the mast, shook all
forward. let go his jib sheet and quiet
~ but swiftly backed, under cover of
the smoke, abreast the rear ship. The
maneuver was executed in beautiful
style. The yards swung around almost
as soon as the order was issued; the
ship checked her course. trembled for
moment and then began backing. AS
If by magic the Constitution had
dropped aStern and almost before the
enemy was aware Of it was alongside
of the sternmost ship with every gun
of her formidable battery reloaded and
double shotted."
The clipper ship Dreadnought lost
her rudder in a gale in the winter of
1868, and Captain Samuel Samuels
performed the great feat of sailing her
backward for more than 600 miles and
into safety in the harbor Of Fayal.-

Turkeys are reported as being
good crop this season, while ducks will
be short, as was the case last year.
The drouth has had dire effect on the
duck crop, inasmuch as the "waddlers"
need plenty of water to thrive. On the
other hand, the supply of grasshop-
oers. so essential to the Welfare of
the "gObblers, has not been found
wanting, and following the dry spring
and summer, conditions warrant looking
forward to plenty of Thanksgiving
turkeys. with a sufficient surplus to
supply the Christmas dinner also.
Corn cutting has been going en-
for the past week and the yield is
much better than expected and from
all indications it looks like there will
be an abundance of corn and that
while the price will be good. there is
no reason for people to go crazy and
pay prices that are out of question.
Corn will not be worth S. per barrel as
has been predicted. and it is now be-
lieved that So will be about the price
at which it will sell. Fodder is very
good but will be high.

stomach and digestive organs. The pills, in old
aud chronic cases of constipation and Indigestion,
act at once, without gripping nor do they leave any
unpleasant after effects, nor form constant habit
of purging, produced by other cathartic remedies.
BlOodine Liver Pills"
restore the deranged and torpid liver to its normal
condition and healthful action. Remove and pre-
vent constipation by securing natural and regu-
lar operation of the bowels, and relieve those
pleasant symptoms which attend diseased or
morbid condition of the liver, stomach and bowels
To assist In attaining this end, the following sug-
gestions are offered.
REMARKS. Everyone who uses pills for
their action on the liver, should know that large
doses rarely prove as satisfactory as small ones.
Large doses simply purge and pass out of the sys-
TEN, usually leaving the bowels constipated and
seldom. removing the cause Of the trouble, or i'm
prove the general health. On the other hand,
small doses develop the alternative effect of the
medicine, do not irritate constipate the bowels,
but gently stimulate the liver and prevent the
accumulation of bile by directing lis fow into the
proper channels. Therefore it is advisable -
mence by taking not over one or two pills at bed
time and increase dose as necessary.
