During the prevalence of the grippe the past seasons it was a noticeable fact that those who depended upon Dr. King's New Discovery, not only had a speedy recovery, but escaped ail of the troublesome after effects of the malady. This remedy seems to have a peculiar power in effecting rapid cures not only in cases of la grippe, but in all diseases of throat, chest and longs, and has cured case a of asthma and hay fever of long standing. Try it and be convinced. It won't disappoint. Free trial bottles at Snipes & Kinersly's drug store.

Cincinnati Tribune ' W. A. McGuire, a well known citizen of McKay, Ohio, is of the opinion that there is nothing as good as children troubled with colda or croup as Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. He has used it in his family for several years with the best results and always kept a bottle of it in the house. After having la grippe he was himself troubled with a severe cough. He used other remedies without benefit and then concluded to try the children's medicine and to his delight it soon effected a permanent cure. 50 cent bottles for sale by Blakeley & Houghton Druggists.

Fish have -their ' uses to humanity over and above serving as food material or as unwilling' caterers to the sport of the fisherman, says the New York Sun. Although it may seem odd so to speak of them, they often are as indis pensable to a country place as a dog or cat. If that country place happens to be one that is supplied with running' wa ter, and this is used for ornament in ponds or fountains, two things are pret ty sure to bother the owner. One is the well-known green scum which spreads over the waters of ponds and fountain basins. When its growth begins the plant is pretty. It starts from the bottom, as soon as the sun gets high, in May or June, and sends upward a delicate, graceful, wavy thread of vivid green. Until it reaches the surface it remains pretty, but once there it spreads along and rots, and is soon offensive in several ways. The other nuisance from standing water, even when it is often renewed quitoes. The wigglers grow there. The remedy for both these troubles is fish, and the two kinds that will cure them happen to be the two most desira ble for other reasons. Goldfish will keep the green scum from growing; and yellow perch, or, as they are generally called, sunfish, will destroy the mosquito wigglers. The sunfish one has to catch, but the goldfish can be bought two for a quar ter in the fish and bird stores of the city. NO TIME TO AIM. The Luck Shot of a Hunter at a Critical Moment. It is a strange fact that the human hand, eye and nerve are so constituted as to act automatically and correctly at the proper moment, almost without conscious effort on the owner's part. The author of "Tales of Nomad" gives an experience that illustrates this in a most fortunate manner. We were passing through grass about two feet in height, with clumps of low scrub here and there. I was leading, and my spoorer, a Kafir named Jacha, was following me. He had only one eye, and that eye was keener to detect game than two pairs of ordi nary optics; but on this occasion it overlooked a terrible danger, for the reason that the danger, though within a few yards of us, was invisible. There was a rustle in a patch of scrub six or seven yards before me, and suddenly out of it rose a wounded buf falo with bloody mouth and glaring eye, which wheeled" round facing me in act to charge. It all took place quicker than thought. My rifle, which happily was at full cock, went up to my shoulder instinctively, and I dropped him in his tracks with a ball through the brain. So sudden was the whole affair that my heart had not time even to give a great thump. I do not quite remember how I did it. I am sure I did not take a fine sight, 1 and ' I doubt whether I looked at the rib of my rifle at a.ll. A PECULIAR FRIENDSHIP. How It Was Established Between a Hawk ' and a Rooster. "The most peculiar friendship I ever saw formed was one between a hawk and a rooster," said a traveler recently. "One day, when living on a farm in western Pennsylvania, I shot and wounded a hawk. When I racked up the bird I found that its wings were broken, but otherwise it was unin jured. My sister begged that the crea ture's life be spared, and the request was granted. Within a few days the hawk had become quite tame and would come to us for its food when we called it. The chickens were greatly frightened at its presence and kept up considerable fuss. This soon wore off and in a short time its presence was taken as a matter of course. The bird was tied to a stake in the back yard and the fowls would go several times a day to look at him. One rooster, more courageous than the rest, concluded to. get acquainted with the enemy. In some way they succeeded in communicat ing together and establishing a bond of friendship. They were constantly together, and after the hawk's wounds -had healed and he was liberated he would spend a portion of each day with his friend, the rooster, paying no attention to the other chickens. In some way he must have told the other hawks that our flock was under his especial care, for we were never troubled with them afterward, al though before that we had lost a great many cmcKens. JAPANESE THEATRICALS. Customs Observed in Play Houses In the Land of the Mikado. Japanese plays usually last from morning till morning. The audience make preparations to attend the the ater much as if they were going on a holiday trip from Saturday to Monday. They take baskets of eatables with them and , have their meals with the same regularity at the play as they would at home. Food is sold in all Japanese theaters just as coffee and ices and beer and whisky are sold in English theaters, and the hawkers of edibles attend to business while the actors are strutting their brief hour upon the stage. The "Jap" audiences sit in little boxes on the floor of the theater and eat and sleep there. " Thev sleep, as a rule, while the principle ac tors are taking a rest. There are no aisles in the body of the theater, so that those who have boxes in the mid dle and come late are compelled to crawl over those who are in, their places. When the play is about to be gin it is announced by wrapping with , a wooden hammer. This method of announcement is also employed by the French, but it has been in use in Japan for hundreds of years. To a great ex tent the success of a Japanese play de pends on the moral. . If the audiences are not quickly responsive and a trasr- edy is being presented, the play is with drawn immediately and the actors re appear in something comic HAD THE CHOICE OF WEAPONSA-- Elder Lswton, Being Challenged, Fought and Whipped Pat Cuslck with Potatoes How Elder Lawton fought a duel is told by a correspondent f the Dexter (Me.) Gazette. The elder was a travel ing preacher, a tall, 'muscular old gen tleman, and he was 'Conducting meet-f where dwelt a troublesome character known as Pat Cusick. Pat, having cre ated a disturbance at one of these meet ings, was publicly rebuked by the elder and thereupon Pat sent him a chal lenge. The preacher's first thought was to treat the matter with silent con tempt. Then he reflected that Cusick always kept the community in a com motion, and no one ever dared to in terfere with his- movements, so he de cided to accept the challenge and trust to the Lord. As the challenged party Law ton had the choice of weapons. He selected a half bushel of large Irish po tatoes and stipulated that his opponent must stand fifteen paces away and that only one potato - at a time., should be taken from the basket. - This proposi tion infuriated Cusick and he declared that that was no way to satisfy honor, but Lawton insisted upon , his rights and threatened to denounce the fellow as a coward if he made further objec tions,, so finally Cusick consented. " At the duel everybody in the settle ment turned out to witness the fun. The seconds were chosen, Deacon Hil ton and Jim Morton acting in that ca pacity for the elder. The two men were arranged in position, by the side of each being a half-bushel measure full of large, plump potatoes. Lawton threw the first one, and it struck his op ponent and fell to pieces. A loud shout of delight went up from those around, which furthur intensified Cusick's much ruffled feelings, and his potato went "wide of the mark. The elder watched his chances, and every time his opponent stooped for a potato an other one hit him with terrific force in the ribs. The fellow received five doses in this way. Then a sixth tuber hit him in the short rib, and he lay on the grass doubled up with pain and groan ing: "Enough." The bystanders went wild with delight, but Lawton looked very sober. Cusick was taken home and put to bed, and there he stayed for more than a week and when he again appeared he was greeted with so many jeers and hisses that he was glad to "shake the dust of the settlement from his feet," while Lawton was the hero Of the hour. EARLY BANKS. It Was a Difficult Task . to Escape the must have been difficult in the middle ages for a man of limited means to take care of his savings. There were, it is true, the Lombard and Genoese bankers, who dealt with princes, nobles, bishops and the abbots of the greater monasteries, and as time went on there arose the Sienese-Roman firm of Chigi, with its hundred branches, which in later times supplied a pontiff to the holy see, who bore the name of Alexander VII.; but of what service were these creat luxury-loving people to the peddler, the yeoman or small shopkeeper, whose gains came not in by pounds, angels or marks, but in penny driblets, with perhapo an odd groat ; of profit on a very successful venture? How was their money stored? In some cases we suspect that the church wardens took care of it in the parish chest, though if put to the proof of what we say we should not be very ready with an answer, but it is quite certain that, as years rolled on and guilds sprang up in every village, they acted as bankers for the guild men. But there must have been many per sons who belonged to .no guild, some because they were of loose life and such as no guild would enroll, others because they were landless folks who had no settled place of abode. It was danger ous to carry specie on the person in those days. There were many Robin Hoods abroad who had no scruples as to robbing the poor as well as the rich. To the weak the only course tat was open, if they could not deposit their coin in the hands of some trustworthy neighbor, was to bury it in the earth. This is the explanation of the numerous hoards of coin which have turned up from time to time from the thirteenth century to the present time. MOUNTAIN SICKNESS. Why Climbers of Mountains Suffer Dig tress at a Certain Elevation. A French scientist has announced the result of experiments to determine the real cause of mountain sickness a complaint that seizes many mountain climbers, and which may be said to correspond with sea sickness. It has recently been proposed to bore a tun nel from the base to the summit of the Jungfrau, a distance of 13,000 feet, and to install therein a great passenger elevator, but warnings of the dreaded mountain sickness, which it is said would surely make the tourist repent his temerity, have brought the project to a standstill. Struck by the fact that mountain climbers are affected at an elevation of about 9,000 feet, while aeronauts can without trouble ascend to double that height, the scientist con cluded that muscular fatigue has some thing to do with it. He accordingly placed under a bell -jar two guinea pigs, of whom one had to work a wheel while the other was at rest. The air of the bell jar was then progressively exhausted. At a pressure equivalent to 9,000 feet the climbing guinea pig showed signs of distress, and at 14,000 feet he renounced the struggle and re mained lying on his back. The other guinea pig,, however, appeared quite comfortable up to an elevation of 18, 000 feet, and his condition became seri ous only at a height of 34,000 feet. ' ' A Rare Occurrence.
