There is no medicine so often needed
in every home and so admirably adapted
to the purposes for which it is intended,
as Chamberlain's Pain Balm. ' Hardly a
week passes but some member of the
family has need of it. A toothache or
headache may be cured by it. A touch
of rheumatism or neuralgia - quieted.
The e'evere pain of a burn -or scald
promptly relieved and the sore healed in
much less time than when medicine has
to be sent for. A sprain may be
promptly treated before inflamation sets
in, which insures a cure in about one
third of the time otherwise required.
Cuts and bruises should receive im
mediate treatment before the parts be
come swollen, which can only be done
when Pain Balm is kept at hand. A
sore throat may be cured before it be
comes serious. A troublesome corn may
be removed by applying it twice a day
for a week or two. A lame back may be
cured and several days of valuable time
saved or a pain in the side or chest re
lieved without paying a doctor bill. Pro
cure a 50 cent bottle at once and you
will never regret it. For sale by Blakeley

was supposed to be incurable. For a

a local disease, and prescribed local rem

with local treatment, pronounced it in

be a constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.

. A TERRIBLE HAWK. .
An Enemy Tlt -Strikes. Terror-to Feath
' red Demizens of the Hash.
The author of "The Naturalist in Ln
Plata" gives an impressive descript ion
of the terror produced by the appear
ance of a rather sraallhawk, of a spe
cies unknown to hinjjlthbug,h he has
seen it a hundred times. It is a marsh
hawk. TharTsTcTsay it seeks its prey
in marshes. ' . .
I have frequently seen all the inhabi
tants of a marsh struck with panic, act
ing as if demented and suddenly grown
careless to all other dangers' On such
occasions I have looked up, confident of
seeing this particular hawk suspended
above them in the sky.
All birds that happen to be on the
wing drop into the reeds or water as if
shot. Ducks away from the .. shore
stretch out their necks horizontally
and drag their bodies, as if wounded,
into closer cover. Not one bird is found
bold- enough, to rise and wheel about
the marauder a usual proceeding in
the case of other hawks; while at every
sudden stoop of the falcon a low cry of
terror rises from the birds underneath
a sound expressive of an emotion so
contagious that it quickly runs like a
murmur all over the marsh, as if a
gust of wind had swept moaning
through the rushes.
As long as the falcon hangs overhead,
always at a height of about forty yards,
threatening at intervals to dash down,
this murmuring sound, made up of
many hundreds of individual cries, is
heard swelling and dying away, and
occasionally, when he drops lower than
usual, it rises to a 6harp Bcream of ter
ror. -
- Sometimes, when I have been riding
over marshy , ground, one of these;
hawks has placed himself directly over
my head, within fifteen or twenty
yards." It has perhaps acquired the
habit of following horsemen in this
way, in order to- strike ' at any birds
driven up. ,
Once my horse almost trod ' on . a
couple of snipe squatting, terrified, in
the short grass. The instant they rose
the hawk struck at one of them, the
end of his wing smiting my chocli' vio
lently as he stooped. The snipe escaped
by diving under the bridle, and im
mediately dropped on the other side of
me; and the hawk, rising, liew away.
STORY OF A CAT.
Carried So Much Electricity That a Car
Is Set on Fire, i
The efficacy of a black cat as a light
ning rod has been too frequently the
subject of discussion and assertion to
be treated at length at the present
time, the drift of which is to show the
apt manner in which an illustration of
this popular belief can be deduced
from an incident that occurred on the
evening of the Fourth of July to the
wife of a well-known business man of
Washington. .
On the evening in question the young
matron had been expending consider
able time and attention upon a hand
some black cat, which she continued to
stroke, notwithstanding the assertion
of her family that by so doing she was
charging1 herself wltn electricity.
Finally after dark the young matron
dceidaiT that a pleasant way of winding-
up the evening would be to go for
a ride' on the electric car to Uetbcsda.
Accordingly, inviting two of her
friends to accompany her, she set out
for the ride in high spirits.
The trio found places together, near
the middlo of the car, and had gone a
short distance beyond the power house
when their conversation was inter
rupted by the conductor hurriedly
bending over them as though to . avert
some catastrophe beneath and telling
them to leave the car with all speed,
as it was ,or fire: Scarcely had they
left their seats before a sheet of flame
burst through the floor just beneath
the very spot over which the young
matron had been sitting, the electrical
apparatus beneath having ignited at
that very point.
ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES.
The Qoier Effect of Photographing- Upon
Some Siberians.
"I have witnessed a good many
amusing incidents in the course of my
career," said a New York photographer,
the other day, "but I think the one
that struck me as the most ludicrous
occurred while I was in Siberia a few
years ago. I had my camera with me,
and spent considerable time in taking
pictures of the people and surrounding
country. I had engaged the services
of two 'native servants, and pne day,
having nothing better to do, I induced
one of them to sit for his photograph.
The fellow had never seen a mirror in
iiis life, and I dare say had no concep
tion of the degree of ugliness exhibited
upon his countenance. At any rate he
manifested no delight - at seeing his
picture, though his companion apf
peared - very much elated, and' could
not rest until I had taken his picture
also. When the latter saw his picture
he also seemed depressed. The
portraits appeared to have brought to
the minds of both strange revelations,
and they retired to their tent in a
thoughtful ' mood, each trying to
smooth . down the bushy locks which
crowned their heads. Presently one of
them came to me and borrowed a pair
of scissors, and shortly after they re
turned with scarcely a vestige of hair
remaining on their heads and implored
me to take their pictures again. The
fruit of the camera was to them like
the fruit of the tree of knowledge.''
What Be Wanted.
At the hospital the other morning,
says Life, one of the patients was just
recovering from an attack of delirium
tremens, and, as is usual in such cases,
desired to dress and go home more than
anything else. It happened that one
of the young ladies connected with the
flower mission saw him," and, approach
ing, said: "I have some beautiful roses
here. Wouldn't you like some?" No
response- Again she said: "Wouldn't
you like to have some of these roses?"
Slowly his head turned, and, slightly
opening his bleary eyes he said, much
to -the embarrassment of the young
woman: "I'd a blamed sight rather
have ny pants."
