Truth. 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 rheumatisn. or neuralgia quieted. The severe 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 j 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.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to bo incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local rem edies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it iri--curable. Science has proven catarrhv to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh, manufactured by F. J.

"While camping- in Alabama during the . late war," said Col. H. C. Cross man, .of Dayton, O., the other, day, according' to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, "I witnessed an attack of a band of black ants upon a striped snake. "One evening while I was trying1 to go to sleep after a long1 day's march I felt something- move under my head. I lifted one corner of the blanket and found a snake between three and four feet in length. . I quickly bit it with a small stick,1 "but the reptile seemed hardly stunned by the blow, so I picked it up on the end of the stick and threw it about fifteen feet away.- The snake landed on a large ant hill. Almost in stantly, the ants poured forth from their nest, which was underneath, and began a vigorous attack upon the in truder, who was soon covered by scores of his assailants, biting him fearfully. The battle raged with fury, the snake writhing about in torture. '.'The contest at first seemed an une qual one, for the snake was rapidly thinning- out his persecutors, but, on the, other hand, the ants were very numerous and quick in their aggressive movements. The snake with one blow of his tail would kill or wound a long line of ants, but the active little creatures were soon reinforced by fresh troops and fought with a desperationwonder ful to behold. I was . astonished be yond measure to see the tactics of the ants. When they saw their numbers were being lessened they dispatched couriers for fresh relays of. soldiers, who appeared on the scene in lue time to replace the killed or wounded. ' "The moon after a time lit up the scene, but as there appeared no near termination of the struggle I gave up watching it, and, stretching myself again on my blanket, went . to sleep. Before striking tents the next morning I went to look at' the battle ground. The slain insects were scattered in every direction, but there were six or seven watchful ants upon the back of the snake, which lay stretched out dead near the ant hill." FUN WITH SEA TURTLES. A School of Them That Covered the Sea for Many Miles. '' "I am reminded," said an old coasting captain to a Washington Star 'man re cently, "of an experience I once had with sea turtles on the edge of the gulf stream, about sixty miles from liatteras. I was part owner and cap tain of the Mary Lyle ,atf that time, and was coming up from Savannah with a half cargo of rice when- one morning the outlook yelled . to me to come up on deck and look at the sea turtles. When I gd( np and looked over the rail the whole ocean as far as I could see ahead of . us was covered with turtles. They were tremendous fellows and were paddling along lazily in the opposite direction to that in which we were going. . , ; "It didn't take us long to rig up a windlass and tackle and begin pulling some of the old fellows aboard. We picked the big-jrest as they came and in the course of three hours we had caught twenty-six, about all that we could handily dispose of about the ship. Only nine of them lived until we reached New York and we sold them for good prices. The shell of one that weighed four hundred and seven ty pounds is now . in New York. I would hate to say how many turtles were in sight of the Mary Lyle that day for fear somebody might think I was fish-yarning, but they came by us steadily for five hours and when wi got well into the school it extended as far as the eye could reach, on all sieves, and fhere was a turtle to about every forty square feet of water and I didn't see one that weighed less, than one hundred and fifty pounds." - DISLIKED REPORTERS. Lord Randolph Churchill Would Not lie Interviewed. . The Canadian Gazette confirms the opinion that Lord Randolph Churchill is not enamored of reporters, says the Westminster ; Gazette. A Montreal journalist who, during his lordship's recent visit there, endeavored to ob tain his views on public questions, was answered thus: "If I express my views I shall only annoy you. I don't want to annoy you. I have annoyed enough people." Asked as to how he liked Montreal, his lordship's observa tions were equipoised between the complimentary and the uncomplimen tary. But he was pointed in praise of the Windsor and- Dominion' square. "What does your lordship think of the value of ; the colonial conference?" asked the reporter. "Nothing. Nobody does. Same as any other political farce. All nonsense," was the reply. "I am afraid you are rather cynical, Lord Randolph," said the reporter, and Lord Randolph remarked: ".Yes, every sensible man is nowadays." When at Winnipeg on his way to the -coast it seems that Lord Randolph Churchill gave local reporters a reception in comparison with which his treatment of Montreal journalists was quite genial. An interviewer who asked hif "illustrious subject" if he could have five minutes' conversation was met with the reply: "No, you can't. 1 never 6ee reporters; it's years since I talked to one; they annoy me very much. ' Please go away." . A. Fish with GUIs and f.ungs. The academy of natural science has just come into possession of a rare fish, which can boasv of a pair of lungs in addition to the gills with which alone' less favored fish are" endured. . .The ne cessity of these two sets of breathing apparatus is readily seen when the habits of the animal are known. In Africa, where the fish lives, it inhabits lakes and ponds, which are often com pletely dried up during the dry season. As long as the water remains the lung fish lives as do the other members of the finny tribe, and breathes by means of his gills; but when the ponds dry up he burrows down into the mud and makes a round nest, where he lives in a semitorpid condition, breath ing by means of his lungs, until the rainy season releases him again.
