Truth.

After reading this generous and en-
couraging report from Mr.. Ballard,
those who have the misfortune to suf-

get similar relief. But to get the
same good as NJ. Ballard, had you

are of course, other kidney pills but
there are no other kidney pills the
same as Doan's. That is why Du-

PATENT SEED SCREEN
FOR THRESHING MACHINES

Yesterday Fred Mayn received ,et-
ters of patent for the new screen he
has invented to clean the clasf from
grain and all kinds of seed.
Mr.. ayn mas been running thrcsh-
ing machines for a good many years,
and the annoyance and waste of time
involved in changing screens every
time he struck new job, aroused his
inventive faculties. and the result was
that he, after many experiments, de-
vised screen that will clean any
KIND of seeds no matter how small
or large they may be. BY simply
pulling lever the holes in the mesh
can be enlarged or reduced according
to the size of the seed that is to be
run through it, so that alfalfa seed
can be cleaned with the same screen
that is used in cleaning wheat, corn
or barley.
As soon as Mr.. Mayn conceived the
one-screen idea, he impaired it to John
X Ball, and that enterprising gem
tleman, seeing the great future that
lay before this great labor saving
device, at once entered into partner
ship with Mr.. Mayn for the manu-
facture and sale of it. Now that the
patent has been issued Mr.. Ball has
set his expert machinists at work
making the new screens and he says
that 1t is only question Of time when
every threshing machine and fan mill
in the country will be equipped with
them.

FOR The CHILDREN
About Queer Birds.

One of the most singular of birds
is the chanting hawk. The sexes pair
for life. During incubation the male
turns musician and sings by day and
night. Each strain occupies about a
minute, when he pauses for a time,
then begins again. He is so absorbed
while singing that he may be ap-
preached. though ut other times ex-
ceedingly shy.
Levaillant having killed a male bird,
the female searched for him on all
sides. uttering piteouS cries. In an
other case, having killed a female. the
husband mounted to the tops Of the
trees and poured out a mingled strain
of lamentation and defiance.
The crowned eagle of Brazil is said
to be the only bird that ventures to
dine on skunks. 1t devours the ar1na-
dillos, breaking their shells by carry
ing them high in the air and letting
them fall upon the earth.
When flying, the buffoon eagle has
the appearance of a bird with the tail
cut off. It's name is given from it's
habit of tubing like a buffoon in the
air.
The condor has been known to soar
to an elevation almost six times great
er than that at which the clouds are
ordinarily suspended over u heads.

A Plants Drink.

When we cut flowers we put them
in water to keep them fresh. Like
human beings, they can exist for long
periods on water alone, as the liquid
forms a considerable portion of their
bulk. The drinking capabilities Of
plants vary a great deal, and at a re-
cent scientific exhibition held at Sur
biton, England, some ingenious de-
vices We're shown to register the diff
ferent actions Of plant life. The APP
paratus consists of a twin glass tube
with a coiled formation at the base.
The flower is placed through a cork
into the water in the upper end Of
the branch tube, and the lower end,
which is inserted in a vessel filled
with water, is lifted out and replaced,
thus allowing an air bubble to enter
the tube. AS the plant drinks the wa
ter the bubble is forced along the
coiled glass tube as fresh water enters
behind it, and the amount taken by
the flower is. Of course, the quantity
