"There Is a most wonderful brown and
golden bird la Mexico," continued the eld
naturalist, who had struck his favorite
theme and only needed a listening ear to
encourage him, "that beats ali the birds I
ever saw. I have stood in the wild regions I
and watched them for hours."
"This bird is a most perfectly developed j
specimen of bee martin, and he has a way I
! of ruffling up the feathers on the top of his j
head to make his crest look like a beaut I -1
ful flower."
"Along comes a bee te sip honey from
the delusive flower, when he is snapped
up by the bird. This bird makes a flower
so perfect that it would deceive the very
elect.
"Before I got used to these birds I used
to strike a tree sometimes ia the forest of
singular beauty Aad adorned with flowers.
What new thing Is this,' I would say, and
I would go hack la my mind to my studies
on botany,
"All at oace I would see its flowers dls
appear, and a little bird sat or suddenly
skipped away from where the newer was.
I soon discovered, however, what they
were up to.
THE ARIXUMA MOTTLED ftATTLXft.
"In Arizona are the queer, fascinating
saakes that capture the birds agaia. Do
yeu kaew I never exactly believed that
a orv of Adam aad Eve aad the saake in
Eden, but why Is it that all our earliest aad
latest Ideaa, too, of the devil are aeeociat
ed with a saake f
"Why Is It that when we were little
children, and came suddenly upon some
saake, a thrill of horror overcame us, aad
why is It too, that after a long debauch a
man winds up seeing saakes, If It Is not as
a sort of a reminder of what his end will
he If he doesn't hold up and do the proper
thing f Answer me that, and then I won't
believe tne Adam and Eve story, but so
long aa our profoandest metaphysicians
don't know how to account for a man's
seeing snakes at such times, they can't
blame ether people for taking seme stock
in It.
"Weil, this peculiar Artaona rattlesaake
1 Is about lour feet long, and fantastically
j mottled and dappled in bluish brown and
yellow. He has an eye so singularly bright
aad glittering that It looks like Arc.
Once a bird catches e glance of that eye
he Is powerlesi to get away. He flies back
ward aad forward see-saw style before the
rattler, each time getting a little lower,
till Anally he is swiped In aad gulped
down.
"The glare of the snake's eyes as he
draws the poor bird aearer and nearer to
him, as by a spell, Is utterly devilish.
"There Is no other alicht like it on this
broad earth, and I almost shudder at the
power of the reptile when 1 see it myself
"The little wild mice of Southern Cali
fornia, in order to escape, appropriate the
aetts of birds which have been made in the
opimtia cactus.
"I have gone up to seme of the nests and
thrust my stick In, when out would come
tne old mouse, with half a dosen young
ones holding on with their mouths to her
body In various places and run down the
trunk of the cactus.
'Now, it is one of the marvels how they
do this, for the opimtia cactus has a double
barb, so no kind of snakes can get up them
yet the old mice and her young gat down
without getting a barb stuck Into them
They have got on to the secret somehow
AN ANTI-Oaua CAMPAIUX.
"Down in Nicaragua, where i was a
year or two ago, I found a hitherto un
known kind of ant, about three-quarters of
an inch to an inch in size, called the leaf -
aat, that is one of the oddest things in na
ture.
In Caesar's history of the war with the
Gauls, you remember that it was recount
ed as a trick of the soldiery whose ranks
were light, when they were advancing at
a distance for an engagement, for ;ach
man to gran a bough, and thus make but
a few men look like a vast army.
"Well, these ants when at work always
carry a leaf, se that a squad of them looks
like a little army with banners, and they
file up one side of a path about a foot wide
and maybe scores of feet long, while the
ants that have thrown their load at the
storehouse take the other side and have
no banners at all.
Everything moves along just like clock
work. There are the commanding officers
lieutenants and everything just like skill
ed soldiery. I'm blast If I don't think some
of our West Pointers who have been hunt
ing Apaches might get a few pointers
from them.
"There are as many queer things about
insects and animals as about people. Now,
anywhere, all over the world, you will
never find where their particular kind of
food does not exist In sufficient quantities.
But a man has got to scratch for what he
wants.
"In Sinaloa there are gigantic wasps
that are a blessing in their way. They
have a way of imparting a deathiy sting to
the poisonous tarantula that mummifies or
preserves It at the same time.
When they are stung and deadened the
wasps drag them off to their holes In the
sandhills and insert their eggs in them,
and when the young wasps are born they
feed on the tarantula.
"Strange to say, while the poison of the
wasp kills the tarantula It blends with the
poison of the tarantula, producing just the
feed most nutricious and necessary for the
young wasps.

know where they are.
"One of these llssards in that battle had
his tall hit off, hut he finally won, and left
his adversary writhing In death.
A strange thing about a llxsard is that
if he loses hit tall it will grew on again,
but if a man loses his leg he has te go
through life with but one.
It U only the stump-tailed llxaarda that

'A centipede Is afraid of a tarantu!a,and
when he lies down to sleep he always
takes the precaution to build a cactus fence
about him.
A tarantula will never crawl over cac
tus, and thus securely hedged la his own
corral, he knows he may sleep as long as
he waats te, and his enemy can't get at
him.
"It Is laughable out en the Mohave des
ert to watch the security of these centl-
pedes as they lay and sleep, while their
I arch enemies, the tarantulas, ere looking
lever the garden wall, so to speak, trying
to get at them
l have seen the tarantulas nose around
for hours before giving it up. But the cac
tus it a sure barrier. When once they be
come satiated there is a complete barrier

gore of the centipede.

"The latter, however, always takes a
careful look-around before he removes the
cactus and venture forth.
THE CVEtOVtt PLANT IN SMAOTA.
"Now, again, let met tell you of a whole
lot of animal life that gets left by the trick
of a plant. Up in Shasta county there Is
a peculiar wild product known as the pitch

The importation by the Reading Com

other illustration of the manner in which
the coal barons "protect American labor.''
Free trade in "pauper labor" and a 75 per

Read the Death Roll
which the bills of mortality of any large
city may be fitly designated, and you wi
find that renal and vesical maladies, that
is te say, those that affect the kidneys er
bladder, have a remarkable prominence
we bad almost said preponderance
Bright's disease and diabtes in the chron
c stage are rarely cured, and gravel, ca
tarrh of the bladder and enuresis, slay
many. Yet at the outset, when the trou
ble merely amounts to inactivity of the
organs involved, the danger may be nulli
fied by that pleasant renal tonic and di
uretic, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which
mparts the requisite amount of tone to
he organs, without over-exciting them,
aad the use of which is convenient, and
involves no elaborate preparation. Dys
pepsla, a usual concomitant of renal com
plafnts,and debility, which they invariably
produce, are remedied by it. Se also are
constipation,malaria!,rheumutic and nerv
ous ailments.
Worth Knowiag.
Mr, W. H. Morgan, merchant, Lake
City, Fia. was taken with a severe oold
attended with a distressing cough and
running into consumption in its first
stages. He tried many so-called popular
cough remedies and steadily grew worse.
Was reduced in flesh, had difficulty in
breathing and waa unable to sleep. Finally
tried Dr. King's New Discovery for Con
sumption and found immediate relief.and
after using about a half doaen bottles
found himself well anu has had no return
of the disease. No other remedy can
show so grand a record of euros as Dr.
King's New Discovery for Consumption.

What is this Disease that Is Coming
Upon Us ?
like a thief at night it steals
In upon us unawares. The pa
tients have pains about the
chest and sides, and sometimes
in the back. They feel dull
and sleepy; the mouth has a
bad taste, esjK'cially in the
morning. A sort of Hticky slime
collects about, the teeth. The
appetite is poor. There is a
feeling like a heavy load on the
stoniach; sometimes a faint, all
gone sensation at the pit of the
stomach which food does not
satisfy. The eyes are sunken,
the hands and leet become cola
and clammy. After a while a
cough sets In, at first dry, but
after a few months it is attend
ed with a greenish-colored ex
pectoration. The patient feels
tired all the while, and sleep
does not seem to afford any
rest Aiter a time he becomes
nervous, ijri table and gloomy,
and has evil forebodings. There
is a giddiness, a sort of whirl
ing sensation in the head when
rising up suddenly. The bow
els become costive; the skin is
dry and hot at times ; the blood
becomes thick and stagnant;
the whiten of the eyes become
tinged with yellow; the urine
is scanty and high eolored, de
positing a sediment after stand
ing. There is frequently a
spitting up of the foot), some
times wit ti a sour taxte and
Hometimes with a sweetish
taste; thin is frequently at
tended with palpitation of the
heart; the vision becomes im
paired, with pot before the
eyes; there is a feeling of great
prostration and weakness. All
of these symptoms are in turn
present. It is thought that
nearly one-third of our popu
lation has this disease in some
of its varied forms.
It has been found that phy
sicians have mistaken the cause
of this disease. Some have
treated it for a liver complaint,
others for kidney disease, etc,
etc, but none 01 these kinds of
treatment have been attended
with success; for it is really
constipation and dyspepsia, ft
is also found that Hhaker Ex
tract of Roots, or Mother Sei
gel's Curative Syrup, when
properly prepared will remove
this disease in all its stages.
Care must be taken, however,
to secure the genuine article.
IT WILL SELL BETTXB THJLH
COTTON.
Mr. John C. Hemptinstall,
of Chulafirmee, Cleburn Co.,
Ala., writes: "My wife has
been so much benefited by
Shaker Kx tract of Roots or
Seigel's Syrup that she says
she would rather be without
part of her food than without
the medicine. It has done her
more good than the doctors and
all other medicines put together.
I would ride twenty miles to
get it into the hands of any suf
ferer if he can get it in no other
way. I believe it will soon sell in
this State better than cotton.
TESTIMONY FROM TEXAS.
Mrs. S.E. Barton, of Varner,
Ripley Co., Mo., writes that
she had been lone afflicted with
dyspepsia and disease of the
urinary organs and was cured
by Shaker Extract of Roots.
Rev. J. J. McGuire, merchant,
of the same place, who sold
Mrs. Barton the medicine, says
he has sold it for four years
and never knew it to fail.
SHE WAS ALMOST DEAD
I was so low with dyspep
sia that there was not a phy
sician to be found who couid
do anything with me. I had
fluttei-ing of the heart and
swimming of the head. One
day I read your pamphlet called
"Life Among the Shakers"
which described my disease
better than I could myself. I
tried the Shaker Extract of
Roots and kept on with it until
to-day I rejoice in good health.

CURIOUS FACTS.
About one person In 400, according to
the Jewellers' Weekly .wears a glasteye.
A Turkish porter was seen at Adrlano-
ple walking briskly down the street with
a heavy American piano strapped to his
back.
The foliage of a great white oak tree, at
Vernon Ala., is half dark green snd the
other half yellow throughout the summer.
According to the statements of the
great ready-made clothing dealers, the
average Height and weight of men in this
country have perceptibly increased since
the war.
A South Florida paper predicts that as
the poppy grows luxuriantly In that sec
tion, the production of opium will one day
be one of the state's great Industries.
The reason that the use of coffee has
decreased so much in England is said to
be that it li seldom properly made. People
make their coffee as they do tea, and they
are disgusted at the disagreeable :oncoc-
tion.
The petrified remains of a huge monster
are said to have been discovered near Per
cy, la., on the baak and almost fn ihe bed
of the Dcs Moines River. The body is
reported te be forty feet long without the
head, which lies detached about forty-five
feet up stream. At nine feet from the tail
it is four feet six inches wide.
At the Comstock silver mines in Vir
ginia City mining science has reached Its
highest point, according to a San Francis
co newspaper, which says that there they
carry water down a vertical shall to the
depth of 1700 feet, and then gear it back te
the surface, running the gigantic mills by
1 700-foot pressure. When the plan was
suggested to engineers of Europe they
laughed at it ; but now it's a proved suc
ccss,and furnfshes a power immeasurably
greater and cheaper than any thing hither
to applied in mining.
The negroes of certain districts on the
west coast of Africa are said to be subject
to a singular and invariable fatal malady.
The person is seized with a sensation of
drowsiness, which increases rapidly in
spite of all efforts to throw It.off, until he
sinks into a profound andj seemingly
natural sleep, which continues for about
three weeks, when death occurs. During
this time the patient may be easily aroused
for a short time, will take nourishment and
answer questions rationally. All the
bodily functions continue in a natural
manner with the exception ot the abnor
mal tendency to sleep. There is nothing
to indicate disease, and though careful
post-mortem examinations have been
made, no trace of disease could be found.
No remedy has yet been discovered.
Henry George in his paper this week
says that, while he was accounted a leader
in the United Labor party, he really had
been frozen out by Dr. McGlynn John M--Mat
kin and Gaybert Barnes the latter
Ue Secretary of the State Committee, the
ExecuUve Committee and the Land and
Labor Committee. Mr. George claims
that the purpose of Dr. McGlynn and his
friends is to run the U. L. P. solely in the
interest of the republican party, aad that
they have so asserted in the presence of
several gentlemen. The reason for Oils
action ia said to be the Doctor's antipathy
to tbe "ecclesiasUcal machine," which ma
chine, he says, is fostered by the demo
cratic party. Henry George says he will
not participate in any such scheme.
