Beliefs coroernino Peacock.

The East Indians and North Amerl- can Indians believe that feathers en- dow the wearer with qualities. whether virtues or vices, of the bird from which they are taken; and as the peacock Is vain, arrogant, and greedy, its feathers are supposed to bring bad luck. The Hindus consider it good luck to own a peacock. In the Middle ages, it was customary to serve the peacock at great banquets with much pomp and ceremony. Over his carcass, medieval knights swore one of their most solemn vows, the ladies being witness thereto. The principals do not appear to have known anything of the origin or meaning of the oath by the peacock. and there is no req son. therefore, for believing 1t to have been traditlOnal and imported. It's incongruous combination with VOWS to God and the Virgin seems to show that it was a pagan oath. Christianized in outward form by the aspersiOn of holy words.

WOMEN NEED SWAMP-ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and bladder trouble and never suspect it.
 Women's complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder disease.
 If the kidneys are not in a healthy condition, they may cause the other or gans to become diseased.
 Pain in the back, headache, loss of ann bltion, nervousness, are often times symp- toms of kidney trouble.
 Don't delay starting treatment. Dr. Ailmer's Swamp-R Root, physician's pre- scription, obtained at any drug store, may be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions.
 Get medium or large size bottle inn mediately from any drug store.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & O., Binghamton, N. T., for sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper.-AdVertiseme

Love Sickness.

Erasistratus gives an account of the consequences of masked or hidden love. These comprised languishing eyes. with anomalies of the voice and complexion. ears. etc. When pa- tient presented these symptoms, espe- cially If he or she were youth. the medical man should suspect a secret love passion. The source of the lat ter might be found by the reaction which took place on the entrance into the room of the object of the pas sion. This consisted of a change of color, trembling. palpitating and sweating. The astute physician by placing his hand over the subjects heart could feel it's agitation when the object of love entered the room. In later years the pulse was deemed a sufficient guide for the medical man, the other symptoms having been re- garded as largely secondary to the dis turbance of the heart.

 She drew a long breath.

 Not a soul; the street was abso- lutely deserted. wiped of the blood, and hid the knife in my pocket until I reached the hotel; then I concealed it at the bottom of my valise."

He came upon the dagger hatpin, remembered that you had just such a one in your hat that night and instantly jumped to the conclusion, as he had seen the wound. that this was the weapon of murder. He be- Iieves we were working together. and this was why I had concealed the knife"
 "And you? you believed that?
 'T believed in you" I said earnestly. "At first I thought 1t must be you; !; then I saw that pin in your hat again. when I knew had one just like it hidden at the hotel.

 "Then later, when that as cleared up by Harris acknowledging that he was the one who got the pin, told him about your having your own in your hat at Perond's. He only laughed, and said you were smart enough to buy another, as soon as the first was found missing; that doubtless there were plenty to be had"
 Hes right; there are. At least I know of one shop on lower Broadway where they are for sale" She stopped suddenly. with a peculiar gesture. ''Why, now I think of it, Sarah Wal dron has one exactly like mine; bought it for her."
 "Ivan WaldrOn's wife?"

RattIe.Rattsred Monstsr.

The curators of the LauncestOn and Tasmanian museums have pre- sented the Royal Society of Tasmania a preliminary account of a nearly com plete skeleton of a gigantic extinct monster, recently discovered in the pleistocene beds of Tasmania The animal was as large as the largest existing rhinOcerOs. The newly dis covery shows clearly that it was a rhinocerOs-like animal, with a skull built for aggressive warfare, and at least one powerful horn on the snout. Evidence of the gigantic battles In which this animal engaged is to be found in the complete smashing and partial mending of the cOllar-bOne, and in the crushing and subsequent repair of the bones of the nose and snOut.

 She led the way confidently enough, moving silently along the wall, I keeping close so as to touch her. A few steps brought us forth into the hall at the head of fight of stairs leading downward. My fingers gripped the banisters, while she stood aside to let me pass.

TO REMOVE TATTOO MARKS
Process Is by No Means Easy, Though Modern Science Has Shown lt
 to Be Practicable.

TattoOlng is the mechanical intro duction of pigments under the skin and a very well-knOwn process. The pigments employed are carbon, cinna- bar carmine and indigo.
 Most methods employed to remove these marks, says Science and Inven- ton, are by a reactive and a destruc- tive inflammation which will result in the formation of a crust, later cast off together with tattOoed markings. One method is to retattOO the marks with a solution of 50 parts of zinc chlOrid and 40 parts of water. A mild inflammation will result: a crust forms and about a week later this falls off, leaving a scar which gradual ly heals. Later a repetition of this may be necessary. This may be done by the professional tattOOer.
 The second method is to tattoo again. making the punctures close TO- gether after the design has been drawn over with a concentrated solution of tannin. A stick of silver nitrate is then firmly drawn over the surface and after a period of several minutes it is then wiped off. This is far more effective than the first and less scar forms. Two other substances, per haps more efficient than either of the above, and applied in the same man. ner as the first, are caroid and glyce- role of papoid.

"That is very strange. 1 heard nothing. Perhaps if you Will explain what they asked you, we may come to some understanding of what this all means. Does Harris accuse me of the robbery?"
 "Yes and of the murder. The way he tells it the thing does sound rather ugly" l confessed regretfully. but believing the time had arrived for plain speech between us. "At least 1 was in no position to contravert his claims"
 ''You imply you suspect me also of this crime?"
 'NO. not that! I have given you my faith; but it has been given blindly. You have refused me your confidence. do not even know your name, your place of residence, how you became involved in this cordOn. You must acknowledge l am badly handicapped when it comes to attempting your de- fense."

 The girl laughed softly.
 Know! Less even than do. l imagine. He doesn't show up here Oftener than once hl six months. and Sarah gets nothing from him. She wouldn't knOw-why?"
 Because, after all. it might be the Russian; If it was he would have to lie to Harris. and pretend to know nothing. You heard how those two talkeG at Perond's. What did you make of it?"
 She drew her eyes together. leaving the marks of a frown on her fore head.
 "That they had planned together to rob Alva; tha. WaIdron was to be hidden somewhere outside, and was to wait for Harris to sigma; him that the money had been paid over"
 Exactly; Harris failed to learn that the money changed hands, and consequently did not signal. But Waldron, nevertheless. was outside waiting; had no doubt spotted Alva's machine. and was ready to act. The one thing we do not know is-did Ava start home alone; or did one of the men accompany him? If the latter supposition is true then that fellow must have committed the murder, with Waldron a possible accomplice after tke crime. If not true, then the only other solution is that Ava picked Waldron up for com paniOnship. Were they acquainted at all?"
 "I think so, but am not sure; you said WaldrOn first reported this chance to Harris"
 "SO he did; then it is quite possible the two knew each other. That would

We must have been there alone for an hour. When we left we separated, believing this to be safe. and I walked down Cans street alone in the rain.
