Albany Herald: Mr. Baker,
residing near Heceta Head light
bouse, about ten days ago, made
quite a find on the beach. At a
point on the coast near his resi-
deoce a current sets in to the shore
and rxany strange finds ere made
on tne- oeacn. a tew weess ago
Mr, Baker, while on the shore, saw
a barrel in the surf rolling in with
every wave to again to be car
ried out. Watching it for some
time, he took advantage of a big
wave that brought the barrel near
the shore and he rushed into the
sea, catching the barrel. For a
half hour he struggled with his
find, finally landing it high and
dry. With the help of some friends
the barrel was taken to the house,
and an examination showed that.it
was branded "Clover Leaf Whis
key," bearing the copper plate of
the bonding warehouse and the le
gend "52 gallons." The barrel was
pretty well covered with barnacles,
indicating that it had been in the
water for a long time.

WAIT FOR AN APPETITE:
You Should Never Eat Simply
Foi
the Sake of Eating;. '
A prolific cause of chronic indigestion
la outing from habit and simply be
cnuae tt la mealtime and others are
eating. To eat when not hungry is to
cnt without relish, and food taken
without relish is worse than wasted.
Without rolteh the salivary glands do
not act, the gastric fluids are not freely
secreted, and the best of foods will not
be digested. Many perfectly harmless
dishes are severely condemned for no
other reason than they were eaten, per
functorily and without relish and due
iusalivation. -SSiai33Sf
Hunger makes the plainest foods en
joyable. It causes vigorous secretion
and outpouring of all the digestive flu
ids, the sources of ptyalin, pepsin,
trypsin, etc., without a plentiful supply
of which no foods can be perfectly di
gested. ,
Wait for an appetite, if it takes a
week. Fasting is one of the saving
graces. " It has a spiritual significance
only through its great physical, and
physiologic importance. . If breakfast
is a bore or lunch a matter of indiffer
ence, cut one or both of them out.
Walt for distance and unmistakable
hunger and' then' eat slowly. v If you
do this you need ask few questions aa
to, the propriety and digestibility ;of
what you eat, and it need not be pre
digested. Exchange. . '.'.".'.

A kind of penguin, the adelie, is a
laugh provoking . bird.. Adelies - are
most inquisitive, and at times areyin
such a hurry to follow up a clew that
they will scramble along the . ice . on
the belly, pushing with their legs-and
using their flippers alternately like the
paddle of a canoe. They get over the
ground at an astonishing rate, and it is
hard work to overtake a penguin when
it takes to this means of locomotion,
especially when tt doubles. In the
water the penguin is perfectly at home.

style." "It "can jump clean out of the
water and pop down on the ice exact
ly like some one coming up through a
trapdoor on the stage and dropping
on his feet. The penguins collect in
enormous numbers and are sometimes
seen- marching about like a regiment
of 'soldiers in Indian file, all acting in
unison.
A much larger penguin, the emperor,
weighs sixty or seventy pounds and
stands well over three feet high. It
possesses the most extraordinary mus
cular powers in its flippers. When pre
sented with the end of the skee stick
the emperor gives it such a smack that
one's bands tingle. At the same time
it utters an angry guttural exclama

Physicians who have gained a national

diseases, claim that if catching cold could bs

would never be heard of. Everyone knows
that pneumonia and consumption originate
from a cold, and chronic catarrh, bronchitis,
and all throat and lung trouble are aggra
vated and rendered more serious by each
fresh attack. Do not risk your life or take
chances when you have a cold. Chamber

drug, and has thirty years of reputation back
