ARE YOU SICK
Pep-Senna Produces Remarkable
Results for Kidney, Liver and
Bladder Sufferers

If you are run down, do not fail to
make request to the Woodwork Labo-
ratory, 1851 Broadway, New York, for
sample of Pep-Senna, the great kidney,
liver and bladder remedy, which is cur
ing thousands. The we'll known saying
that delays are dangerous" applies more
fully to the kidney, liver and bladder
diseases than to anything else. Diseases
of the kidney, liver and bladder will
stand no trifling, because there is no dis
ease so deceptive, and nothing more
fatal.
Look backward and recall to memory
the many sufferers, and others who have
died during the past year. Have you
ever stopped to think how many Of them
could have been made we'll and happy
just by the use of Pep-Senna, this great
health restorer? If you feel down

THEIR PLUMAGE LUMINOUS
Birds With Shining Feathers Probably
Have Been In Contact With De-
caying Matter or TouchWood.

No! This Is not mature faker"
story. Stay your hand, gentle reader,
and hear the explanation before you
begin to hurl short and uglies" from
your sling.
A gentleman writing to lie Chasseur
Francois describes singular phenom-
enOn observed by him on a recent
hunting trip TO the Pyrenees. In the
early morning OF gray and lowering
sound like that Of the propeller of a
distant aeroplane, and looking at the
sky, beheld the soft glow Of two
nghts-electric bulbs, apparently, Of
five or six candle power.
But to his amazement the supposed
ship Of the air resolved itself on a
closer approach into two large birds
with softly luminous plumage. A lucky
shot brought them to earth and it was
found that the extinction Of life did
not diminish the luminosity, which
seemed resident In the feathers
In commenting on this case, La Ma
ture declares that the phenomenon Is
by no means rare and is susceptible to
very simple explanation. The bird
has merely soiled it's feathers by con-
tact with some luminiferous animal
or vegetable matter such as decaying
fish or touchwood. The latter source
Is especially probable, as owls, on
which the luminosity has been spe-
cially observed, commonly live in hol-
lows Of trees and thus particularly
liable to come in contact with touch
wood.
Doubtless many picturesque legends
OF wandering lights and fitting fires
ascribed to ghostly, demoniac or an
gelic visitants, according to the preju-
d1ces OF the observer, may be easily
explained in this simple manner

Paying Taxes In Kind.

The natives Of the Congo pay their
taxes in kind, as might be expected
in territory just beginning to be
civilized. The value OF domestic ami
mails in that country is such that one
wishes it were nearer London, in view
Of the high price Of meat here. A
bullock is valued at about 19s Cd, a
cow s2 Is, horse G3 15s, sheep
Is Sd. The camel commands the
highest price, viz 94.
The custom Of payment in kind is
not SO remote as most persons would
think. The Reverend the late Profess
sor Flint Of Edinburgh, we know, has
stated that during the time he was
professor Of moral philosophy in St.
Andrews he was accustomed to re-
ceive part Of the emoluments Of his
chair in kind from the farms belong
ing to the university. This would be
prior to 1875, In which year he was
translated to Edinburgh.-London
