There ia 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 cared by it. A touch
of rheumatisu. or neuralgia quieted.
The severe pain of a burji 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
aved or a pain in the side or chest re
t Sieved without paying a doctor bill. Pro
cure a 50 cent bottle At once and you
-will never regret it. For sale by Blakeley

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 be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local rem
edies, and by coustantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it in
curable. Science has proven catarrh to
be a constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrh, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co.", Toledo, Ohio,. is the only
. constitutional cure in the market. It is
taken internally in doses from 10 drops
to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the
bloodand mucous surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for any
case it fails to care. Send for circulars
and testimonials. Address.

How -the .Little Animals Are' Handled
Where They Are Made to Work."
In England ferrets are more' lor ivork
than as pets and are used for making
rabbits bolt from their burrows. To
do this scarcely any training is jieces
sary; the three young- ferrets which we
used the other; day worked as well as
their more experienced parents. There
are various reasons whjr white ferrets
are to be preferred as opposed to the
brown polecat variety. . They are
usually more docile and pleasant to
handle. A brown ferret is apt to be
nipped up by a sharp dog- in mistake
for a rat or rabbit, while a white one
is always apparent, even when moving
among- the densest herbage. This
specially applies to night time, and
Lcnce poachers invariably use white
ferrets. Gamekeepers who know their
business prefer ferrets taken from
poachers to any others. The poacher
carefully selects his ferrets, and from
the nature of bis trade he cannot afford
to work bad ones. Some ferrets cause
rabbits to bolt rapidly, while others
are slow.
Sometimes a ferret will drive a rab
bit to the cnd( of a" blind burrow, and
after killing it will not return until it
has gorged itself with blood; and more
trouble is added if the ferret curls
itself up for an after-dinner sleep.
Then, of course, it has either to be left
or dug out; if the former, it is well to
bar every exit and return with a dead
rabbit when hunger has succeeded the
gorged sleep. Ferreting is mostly
practiced in winter; and it is to guard
against such occasions as, these that
workingferrets are generally muzzled.
A cruel" practice -used to obtain of
stitching together the lips of the fer
rets to prevent their worrying rabbits
and then "laying up." But the most
humane method of muzzling is with a
soft string, a muzzle constructed of
which may be quite effective and at the
same time not uncomfortable to wear.
Care must be taken not to hurt the fer
ret, as if the string annoys him he will
endeavor to do nothing but get it off.
Occasionally ferrets are worked with a
line attached, but this is an objection
able practice. There may be a root or
stick in which the line may get en
tangled, when there will be digging
and no end of trouble in getting at it.
SEEDS SOWN WITH ARTILLERY.
How Gunpowder Helped to Plant Trees
on a Rocky Crag.
Alexander Nasmyth, the landscape
painter, was a man fruitful in expedi
ents. To his mind the fact that a
thing could not be done in the ordinary
manner was no reason why it should
bo given up. His son relates the fol
lowing interesting example of his in
genuity. The duke of Athol consulted him as
to some improvements which he de
sired to make in his woodland scenery
near Dunkcld. Among other things, a
certain rocky crag needed to be plant
ed with trees, to relieve the grim bar
renness of its appearance. The ques
tion was how to do it, as it was impos
sible for any man to climb the crag, in
order to set seeds or .plants in the clefts
of tho rock. 1
A happy idea struck my father. ' Hav
ing observed in front of tho castle-a
pair of :-:inall cannon, used for firing
salutes on great days, it occurred to him
fc: iurn them to account. A tinsmith in
tiit; village was ordered to make a num
ber of canisters with -covers. The can
isters were filled with all sorts of suit
tible tree seeds. The cannon was load
ed and the canisters were fired up
I'gainst the high face of the rock.
They burst and scattered the seeds in
r.ll directions. Some years afterward,
when my father revisited the place, he
was delighted to find that his scheme
of planting by artillery had proved
successful; the trees were flourishing
in all the recesses of the cliffs.
WAYS OF THE POMPANO.
He Is a Frisky Jumper, as Well as'Dell
clons Food Fish.
One of the most delicious food fishes
of the semi-tropics is the pompano. In
size and shape he is not unlike the
flounder of the northern estuaries, but,
unlike the flounder, he swims edge
wise instead of flat on his belly. In
color his scales are gray, white, gray
ish blue and golden yellow, and when
he leaps from the water, as he fre
quently does, the glinting of the gold
en scales in the sunlight forms a beau
tiful sight. A traveler just returned
from Lake Worth, on" the lower east
coast of Florida, writes to the New
York Herald: "As we approached the
mouth of the canal the fish appeared
to be more numerous, . and they made
long jumps into the air all about us.
They were chiefly mullet and pom
pano, and once I counted five in the air
at the same time.
"Before we reached the dredge boat,
six miles from the foot of the lake, we
had four pompano, all of which had
jumped from the water and landed ac
cidentally in the bottom of our boat.
One of them struck our boatman, Ben
Able, in the breast, and the blow was
of sufficient force to nearly wind him
for a minute. Since ice factories have
been established -along the Indian
river and on Lake Worth, pompano are
shipped to the northern markets in
large quantities. They 'run' through
out the year, but make the best eating
during, the winter months."
A New Geographical Apparatus.
The marine globe is a new physical
instrument to produce currents similar
to sea currents. It consists of a glass
globe under the interior well of which
are constructed the massive outline of
continents and the hollows of sea
basins. The bottom of the sea is
formed of an interior sphere, concen
tral with the one of glass, fnoving on a
vertical axis, and is worked by a gearing.
The sea basins are filled with water con
taining particles of stearine in suspen
sion, which render all its movements
visible. The exterior of the apparatus
does not differ much from that of a
geographical globe, and its merit is
that it tends directly to facilitate the
study of geography, so far as the sea
currents are concerned.
